In this study, a series of forced vibration testing and ambient vibration measurement were performed at a lowrise masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frame structure before and after seismic retrofit and its dynamic properties were extracted using system identification techniques. Also, analytical models which show similar dynamic properties to the measures ones were constructed. The system identification results showed that damping ratios in x direction along which the dampers were installed has been increased. From the comparison between the analytical models, the effective stiffness of post-installed member and post-reinforced members(shear walls and damper frames) were only 50% of gross sectional stiffness of the members, which indicates that the these members were not fully integrated with the existing structure or members. In addition, support condition of post-installed footing has to be pinned in y direction to match the dynamic properties, which is seemingly caused by the change of fixity of the soil due to the installation of new footing.

A rotordynamic analysis is performed for a turbopump of 7 ton class liquid rocket engine considering bearing housing structural flexibility. Stiffness and damping characteristics of ball bearings and pump noncontact seals are reflected in a rotordynamic model. A dynamic model of bearing housing with lumped mass and stiffness is also applied to the rotordynamic analysis. Rotor critical speed and onset speed of instability are predicted from synchronous rotor mass unbalance response and complex eigenvalue analyses. The bearing housing structural flexibility effect on rotordynamic characteristics is investigated for both of bearing loaded and unloaded conditions respectively. From the numerical analysis, it is found that the effect of the housing structural flexibility significantly reduces the rotor critical speed and onset speed of instability.

Pipe installation following excavation of pavement and underlying-soils induces settlements, cracks and bad roughness near utility cut. This study is to use PMT and LDWT in order to evaluate stiffness and/or degree of compaction of sublayers and backfill in utility cut section because no specially designed efforts for evaluating stiffness condition of the substructures below new pavement after pipe installation are offered at this time. From test results of PMT, comparable stiffness and/or degree of compaction in recompaction process is not obtained comparing to that of the existing sublayers before excavation. Thickness of the new surface layer after pipe installation must be designed thicker than that of the existing surface layer. It is verified that LDWT comparing to PMT is effective only to get stiffness and/or degree of compaction within limited depth from surface of materials, but it is not useful to evaluate stiffness of substructures in full depth in case of utility cut.

In this paper, the operating stiffness of a parallel robot used to handle heavy packages is optimized. Because the studied model, called a "pick and place robot," is applied for packaging logistics, it is important for the robot to be lightweight so that it may respond rapidly and have high stiffness to allow sufficient operating precision. However, these two requirements of low weight and high stiffness are mutually exclusive. Thus, the dynamic characteristics of the robot are analyzed through multibody dynamics analysis, and topology optimization is conducted to achieve this exclusive performance. Lastly, the reliability of the topology optimization is verified by applying the optimized design to the parallel robot.

LWDT was developed for use as an alternative technique to measure the stiffness of trackbed soils. In this study, numerical and theoretical analyses of LWDT's acting mechanism were performed. The effectiveness of the adapted elastic formula used for calculation of the dynamic modulus, Evd, was investigated theoretically and also numerically by running ABAQUS analysis. The minimum thickness of the upper layer is proposed based on the analysis. Correction factors for the formula of elastic modulus are also proposed in this study. In the future, following field test results and laboratory mechanical tests such as the resonant column test, a guideline for the use of LWDT as a standard test protocol in track construction sites, as a measuring tool for the degree of compaction and/or stiffness and dynamic modulus, will be proposed based on this analysis.

In this paper, the amplitude and frequency dependent dynamic characteristics of the equivalent stiffness of a rubber bushing are investigated. A new mathematical model is proposed to explain the large deformation and size effect of a rubber bushing. The proposed model consists of elastic, viscous, and frictional stress components and the equivalent strain. The proposed model is verified using experimental results. The comparison shows that the proposed model can accurately predict the equivalent stiffness values of a rubber bushing under various magnitudes and frequencies. The developed model could be used to predict the dynamic equivalent stiffness of a rubber bushing in automotive engineering.

This study proposed the analysis of damage defection due to the change of the stiffness of structure by using the original and modified dynamic characteristics. The method is applied to examples of a cantilever and 3 degree of freedom by modifying the stiffness. The predicted damage detections are in good agreement with these from the structural reanalysis using the modified stiffness.

풍력발전시스템은 풍력을 동력원으로 하여 풍차 블레이드를 회전시킴으로 발생하는 동력이 발전기를 작동하여 전기를 발생시키는 무공해 발전시스템의 하나로서 현재 대체 에너지원으로 각광을 받고 있다. 일반적으로 저 회전 고 토크 특성의 풍력에너지를 고 회전 저 토크 특성으로 작동되는 발전기로 전달하기 위하여 증속기를 사용한다. 풍력발전시스템용 증속기는 지상에서 높고 제한된 공간 내에 위치하게 되어 보수가 용이하지 못하므로 최적화한 구조 및 높은 신뢰수명이 요구된다.(중략)

고속절삭을 통해서 가공능률과 가공정밀도의 향상을 도모할 수 있기 때문에, 최근에는 공작기계용 고속주축계가 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 주축 선단부에 무거운 척과 공작물이 위치하는 선반용 고속주축계의 동특성을 해석하기 위해서 유한요소법을 도입하였다. 특히 세장비가 비교적 작은 주축은 Timoshenko 이론으로, 폭이 유한한 베어링은 반경방향 외에도 모멘트방향의 강성 및 감쇠특성을 가지고 있는 것으로 모델화하였다. 그리고 선반용 고속주축계의 고유진동수와 감쇠비에 대한 주축회전수, 베어링의 지지특성, 베어링의 간격, 주축재료의 내부감쇠율 등의 영향을 고찰하였다.
