Propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves in lossy tunnels are analysed using Finite Element Method with edge basis function. According to the analysis lossy dielectric wall on the tunnel highly affects the characteristics of the waves in the tunnel. Also higer modes are separated using mode orthogonality principle, and the propagation characteristics of higer modes are investigated. To verity the numerical results, miniatures of the tunnels are constructed and measurements of the waves are accomplished.

Swirl injector with multi-stage tangential entry was analyzed to suppress high-frequency combustion instability in Liquid Rocket Engines. In order to analyze the effect of swirl injector as an acoustic absorber, swirl injector was regarded as a quarter-wave resonator and it's damping capacity is verified in atmospheric temperature. It has a finite mode of vibration and natural frequencies which can be tuned to the natural frequencies of a model combustion chamber. The interior air core shape of injector is more stable in the case of using the swirl injector with multi-stage entry than with single-stage entry. Also, when the swirl injector with multi-stage entry is used, tuned-injector length for unstable mode is well agreed with the calculated length. From the experimental data, it is proved that if the interior air core shape of swirl injector is stable, the fine tuned swirl injector can decrease the unstable mode of model chamber effectively and increase the damping rate.

This paper presents the result of the aeroelastic stability test of the small-scaled hingeless hub system with composite paddle blades in hover and forward flight conditions. Excitation tests of hingeless hub system installed in GSRTS(General Small-scale Rotor Test System) at KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) were carried out to get lead-lag damping ratio of blades with flexures as hub flexure. MBA(Moving Block Analysis) technique was used for the estimation of lead-lag damping ratio. First, blades with metal flexures, then with composite flexures of the same dynamic properties of rotor system as metal one were tested. Tests were done on the ground and in the wind tunnel according to the test conditions of hover and forward flight, respectively. Composite flexures were found to have better damping characteristics over metal ones in the non-rotating vibration test, and it was confirmed that the use of composite flexures would give observable improvement in aeroelastic stability compared to metal ones in all test conditions.

Damping characteristics of a Helmholtz resonator to passively control the combustion instability were investigated by linear acoustic analysis and atmospheric acoustic tests. Its orifice length and diameter were selected as the design parameters and supplied SPL(sound pressure level) effect on damping characteristics were investigated. Damping capacity is improved by decreasing the orifice length as well as by increasing the orifice diameter. Also, the results showed that the damping capacity of the resonator decreased nonlinearly about above 110 dB and instabilities in the nonlinear region were more effectively suppressed by increasing the orifice diameter.

Acoustic tuning frequency of quarter-wave resonators is investigated numerically to suppress combustion instability in a liquid rocket engine. A quarter-wave resonator is adopted, which was designed from the cold acoustic test for optimal damping condition. First, in a model combustion chamber scaled down from a full-scale chamber, reactive flow filed is analyzed numerically and acoustic-pressure responses are examined. Next, thermodynamic properties in the resonators are predicted. Based on the data, frequency tuning method is studied. The optimum tuning length of each resonator is proposed and thereby, sufficient damping is produced.

Acoustic tuning of quarter-wave resonator is investigated numerically to suppress combustion instability in liquid rocket engines. A model combustion chamber is adopted. First, basic acoustic characteristics are examined and acoustic damping is pursued by quarter-wave resonators. Next, for frequency tuning of the resonators, thermodynamic properties inside the acoustic resonators are estimated based on the numerical data. Maximum damping capacity is obtained when the resonators are designed to have the optimum length calculated with the properties. But, damping capacity induced by the resonators with the same length is comparable with it.

Finite element models are updated in two stages in this paper. In the first stage, damping is neglected, and mass and stiffness matrices of a finite element model are updated using an optimization technique. The objective function for optimization consists of natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained from experimental modal testing data and finite element analysis. In the second stage, damping is considered with the mass and stiffness matrices fixed. A damping matrix is estimated assuming a proportional damping system. Then the damping matrix is adjusted using an optimization process so that the difference between the analytical and measured frequency response functions becomes minimum. This procedure of model updating has been applied to a simulated system and an experimental cantilever beam.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of an MR fluid damper for seismic vibration control of a structure in terms of equivalent linear damping based on linearization technique and to experimentally verify the results from linearization technique by comparing them to those from system identification testing of a building structure with the MR damper. First, among various models for the MR damper, the equivalent damping is estimated for the Bingham model which is mathematically simple. Second, the transfer function of a building structure with the MR damper is obtained by performing shaking table tests and the damping matrices of the structure are constructed using the modal information obtained by the transfer function. It is observed that the damping mathematically estimated using linearization technique for the Bingham model matches well with the damping coefficient experimentally obtained by system identification.

본 연구는 숭례문의 진동측정을 통한 고유진동수와 감쇠, 진동모드 등의 파악을 목적으로 한다. 목조 건축물의 진동측정방법은 건축물에 손상을 주지 않으며 공학적인 데이터의 획득으로 숭례문의 시간, 환경에 따른 구조특성의 변화를 수치적으로 파악할 수 있게 해준다. 숭례문에 대하여 상시미동측정과 인력가진측정을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 숭례문의 진동특성은 장변방향으로 2.12Hz, 단변방향으로 1.56Hz로 비슷한 규모와 형식이라고 할 수 있는 흥인지문, 수원 팔달문보다 높은 고유진동수값을 얻었고 감쇠값은 장변방향으로 1.7%, 단변방향으로 1.8%의 값을 가진다. 2008년 화재로 전소된 숭례문의 진동특성이지만 앞으로 비슷한 구조 건축물에 대한 측정 데이터의 축적을 통하여 목조 건축물의 진동특성에 대한 주기식 및 성능파악에 대한 기준 및 평가자료의 근거로 쓸 수가 있다.

This paper predicts the modified proportional damping structural eigenvectors and eigenvalues due to the change in the mass and stiffness of a proportional damping structure by iterative calculation of the sensitivity coefficient using the original dynamic characteristics. The method is applied to examples of a cantilever and 3 degree of freedom lumped mass model by modifing the mass and stiffness. The predicted dynamic characteristics are in good agreement with these from the structural reanalysis using the modified mass and stiffness.
