Structural vibration and noise are hot issues in underwater vehicles such as submarines for their survivability. Therefore, active vibration and noise control of submarine, which can be modeled as hull structure, have been conducted by the use of piezoelectric materials. Traditional piezoelectric materials are too brittle and not suitable to curved geometry such as hull structures. Therefore, advanced anisotropic piezocomposite actuator named as Macro-Fiber Composite(MFC), which can provide great flexibility, large induced strain and directional actuating force is adopted for this research. In this study, dynamic model of the smart hull structure is established and active vibration control performance of the smart hull structure is evaluated using optimally placed MFC. Actuating performance of MFC is evaluated by finite element analysis and dynamic modeling of the smart hull structure is derived by finite element method considering underwater condition. In order to suppress the vibration of hull structure, Linear Quadratic Gaussian(LQG) algorithm is adopted. After then active vibration control performance of the proposed smart hull structure is evaluated with computer simulation and experimental investigation in underwater. Structural vibration of the hull structure is decreased effectively by applying proper control voltages to the MFC actuators.

A prior error estimator which is solving structural dynamic problems and which is based on the generalized-method, is developed. Since the proposed error estimator is computed with only previous information, the time step size can be adaptively selected without the feedback mechanism. This paper shows that the automatic time stepping algorithm using the error estimator performs an efficient time integration. To verify its efficiency, several examples are numerically investigated.

일반적으로 모니터링 장비는 주로 플랜트의 운전 상태를 감시하고 제어하는 목적으로 쓰이고 있 는데 계측하는 각종 변수는 변화속도가 빠르지 않은 정적 데이터인 경우가 대부분이라고 할 수 있다. 그러나 기계상태나 구조안전 감시장치 등에 쓰이는 모니터링 장비는 진동 혹은 동적 데이 터를 계측하고 주파수 분석까지를 해야 하기 때문에 데이터의 취득속도가 현저히 빨라야하고 이 에 따른 여러 가지 신호처리 기법을 적용해야 한다. 본고에서는 선박에 쓰이고 있는 기계상태와 구조안전 감시를 위한 모니터링 장비의 동향에 대하여 알아보았다.

In this paper, a tuned liquid mass damper(TLMD) was proposed and experimentally investigated on its control performance, which can control bi-axial responses of building structures by using only one device. The proposed TLMD controls the structural response in a specific one direction by using a liquid sloshing of TLCD. Also, the TLMD reduces the response of structures in the other orthogonal direction by behaving as a TMD that uses mass of the container itself and liquid within container of TLCD installed on linear motion guides. Force-vibration tests on a real-sized structure installed with the TLMD were performed to verify its independent behavior in two orthogonal directions. Test results showed that the responses of a structure were considerably reduced by using the proposed TLMD and its usefulness for structural control in two orthogonal directions.

When floor vibration problems occur in existing buildings, TMD (tuned mass damper) can be a viable alternative to resolving the problem. Only when TMD has been exactly tuned to the natural frequency of the floor, it can control the vibration as intended in design. However, TMD gets inefficient in the situation where the natural frequency changes as a result of the uncontrollable variation of the floor mass weight. This physical phenomenon is often called as TMD-off-tuning. This study proposes asymmetric TMD for enhancing the robustness of floor vibration control against uncertain natural frequencies. The proposed TMD features two asymmetric linear springs such that the floor vibrational energy can be dissipated through both the translational and rotational motion. An easy-to-use graphical optimization method was developed in this study. The asymmetric TMD proposed outperformed in vibration control by 28% compared to that of conventional TMD. The robustness of asymmetric TMD of this study was two times higher than that of conventional TMD.

With the advantages of large vibration energy dissipation of structures, the granular materials are used as vibration and acoustic treatments. In this case of vibro acoustic controls, a finite dynamic strength of the solid component (frame) is an important design factor. The dynamic stiffness of hollow cylindrical beams containing porous and granular materials as damping treatment was measured. Using the Rayleigh-Ritz method, the effects of damping materials on the dynamic characteristics of beams were investigated. The results suggested that the acoustic structure Interaction between the frame and the structure enhances the dissipation of the vibration energy significantly. The same methods were applied also to vibration control of sandwich panels. By filling the cavities of honeycomb cores using unconsolidated granular materials, its sound transmission toss was improved significantly.

회로내에 capacitor를 부가 연결시켜 이론과 실험적으로 고찰한 새로운 기법의 연구이다. 종래에 사용되어 온 전자회로는 낮은 주파수의 진동진폭을 억제할 때에 큰 inductance 값을 필요로 하는 결점이 있었다. 이런 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 강화된 압전 분권회로에 병렬로 capacitor를 연결하도록 설계하였다. 새로운 기법은 기계적인 analogy 이론에 의해 증명을 하였으며, 알루미늄 보에 대하여 필요한 동조 모드에서 실험적으로 입증하였다. 따라서 이러한 결과들은 electronic passive damping 에 있어서 예전부터 요구되어 온 절반정도의 inductance값만으로도 구조물의 진동응답을 아주 심도 있게 감소시킬 수 있다는 것을 보여주고 있다.

This paper presents a new vibration control device by which the mass and damping of a structure is increased equivalently. The vibration control system, named toggle-rotational inertia-viscous damper, can be utilized effectively in applications of small structural drift. Numerical analysis shows that because the relative drift of a structure can be effectively amplified by the toggle system, the device has a great performance in the vibration control without the increase of the damper capacity and size. It is also observed that vibration control effects is caused by the increase of equivalent mass and damping due to the rotational inertia and damping of the device.

This paper is concerned with the dynamic modeling and controller design for a cylindrical shell equipped with MFC actuators. The dynamic model was derived by using Rayleigh-Ritz method based on Donnel-Mushtari shell theory. The actuator and sensors for the MFC actuator equations were derived based on pinforce model. The boundary conditions at both ends were assumed to be shear diaphragm. After calculating the natural vibration characteristics, the positive position feedback controller was designed to cope with the first two modes. To this end, the equations of motion were reduced to modal equations of motion by considering the modes of interest. The theoretical results show that vibrations can be successfully suppressed.

This paper is to identify the position of random disturbance on flexible dynamic system, and the position of the piezo ceramic actuator 0 minimize tip response. Correlation of the output signals from each parts on flexible system is used to identify the position of random disturbance. Except the correlation with an output signal from the position of random disturbance, other correlations have time delay. This is a base idea to identify the position on this study.
