Sizing design sensitivity analysis of structures subjected to the harmonic vibration is performed using adjoint variable method. Constraint is the stress and sizing design variables are thickness, bending moment of inertia, and cross-sectional area of structures. Accurate sensitivities are computed and plotted sensitivity can be used as a design guidance tool. The accuracy of sensitivities is verified by the finite difference values. Also, optimal design of three-bar structure is performed using the computed sensitivity and feasible direction method while satisfying constraints and obtaining the minimum weight.

Performance evaluation of advanced piezoelectric composite actuator is conducted with its application of structural vibration control. Characteristics of MFC (macro fiber composite) actuator are investigated by comparing traditional piezoceramic patch actuator. Finite element modeling is used to obtain equations of motion and boundary effects of smart hull structure with MFC actuator. Dynamic characteristics of the smart hull structure are studied through modal analysis and experimental investigation. LQG control algorithm is employed to investigate active damping of hull structure. It is observed that vibration of hull structure is suppressed effectively by the MFC actuators.

한국건설기술연구원내에 세계 최초로 UHPC(초고성능 콘크리트)를 활용한 보도사장교를 설계 및 시공하여 공용중이다. 초고성능 콘크리트(UHPC, Ultra High Performance Concrete)는 기존의 콘크리트의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 강섬유 및 혼화재료를 사용하여 고강도화와 더불어 인장강도, 휨강도, 균열에 대한 저항성, 전단강도 및 내충격성을 대폭 개선시켜서 구조부재의 연성 및 강도를 확보하기 위해 개발된 것으로서 한국건설기술연구원이 독자적 연구를 바탕으로 UHPC를 개발하였고, KICT-UHPC의 특성을 충분히 반영한 보도사장교를 한국건설기술원내에 실구조물로 시공하였다. 한국건설기술연구원내 본관 1, 2동 연결 보도사장교(SUPER BRIDGE 1)의 진동실험을 통해 UHPC 보도사장교의 동특성(고유진동수 및 모드형상)을 평가하였다. 대상교량에는 보도사장교의 캔틸레버 구조 특성에 의해 발생하는 진동을 제어하기 위한 질량 264kg의 난간형 수직진동제어장치(TMD) 4대가 설치되어 있으며, 부가질량의 운동을 기계적으로 구속하거나 구속을 해제하여 TMD의 작동을 켜거나 끌 수 있도록 되어있다. TMD의 가동 및 정지시 동특성을 비교하는 정밀한 검증 실험을 통하여 TMD 설치에 의한 동특성의 변화도 평가하였다. 가진망치에 의한 충격실험으로부터 획득한 가속도 시간이력 데이터와 가진망치의 가진력 시간이력 데이터를 사용하여 주파수응답함수(FRF, frequency response function)를 계산하고, 이로부터 Super Bridge I의 동적모드형상과 고유진동수를 추출하였다. 1차 모드의 고유진동수는 TMD 정지시 2.2949 Hz, TMD 작동시 2.0996 Hz로서 8%정도 감소하였다. 충격해머에 의한 가진 실험을 통해 세계 최초로 시공한 UHPC 보도사장교의 진동특성과 관련한 신뢰성 있는 자료를 확보할 수 있었다.

A method of calculating the natural frequency corresponding to the first mode of vibration of beams and tower structures, with irregular cross-sections and with arbitrary boundary conditions was developed and reported by D. H. Kim in 1974. This method has been developed for two-dimensional problems including the laminated composite plates and was proved to be very effective for the plates with arbitrary boundary conditions and irregular sections. In this paper, the result of application of this method to the building slabs with passive and active control devices is presented. Finite difference method is used to obtain the deflection influence surfaces needed for this vibration analysis in this paper. The influence of the modulus of the foundation on the natural frequency is thoroughly studied.

This paper presents vibration and position tracking control of a smart structure using shape memory alloy(SMA) actuators. A governing equation of motion of the proposed structure is obtained via Hamilton's princeple. The dynamic characteristics of the SMA actuator are experimentally identified and incorporated with the governing equation to furnish a control system model. Subsequently, a sliding mode controller which has inherent robustness to external disturbances is formulated on the basis of the sliding mode conplacement, and also for the position tracking control of desired trajectories with low-frequency sine and square waves.

This paper is concerned with the vibration control of multi-layer structure for ultra-tall buildings and main tower of large bridge etc. We have modeled the multi-layer structure with the distributed mass system as the lumped mass system of two-degree-of-freedom structure and made experimental equipment. The LQ optimal control theory is applied to the design of the control system. The designed control system is simulated by computer. As a result, the LQ regulator showed good vibration control performance with impact excitation.

A new neuro-control scheme for active control of structures is proposed. It utilizes lattice pattern of state vector as training data of probabilistic neural network(PNN). Therefore. it is the so-called lattice probabilistic neural network(LPNN). PNN makes control forces by using all the training patterns. Therefore, it takes much time to obtain a control force in application. This inevitably may delay the control action. However. control force of LPNN is calculated by using only the adjacent information of LPNN input. So, the response of LPNN is greatly faster than PNN. The proposed control algorithm is applied for three story building under California and El Centro earthquakes. Also, control results of the LPNN are compared with those of the conventional PNN. The structural responses have been suppressed effectively by the proposed algorithm.

The semi-active TLCD system is investigated for control of responses of 3D irregular buildings under seismic excitations. The TLCD system is a special type of TMD system providing a performance similar to a TMD system but offers a number of practical advantages over the traditional TMD system. The equations of motion for the combined building and TLCD system are derived for multistory building structures with rigid floors and plan and elevation irregularities. Simulation results for control of two multistory moment-resisting space structures with vertical and plan irregularities show clearly that the semi-active TLCD control system reduces the responses of 3D irregular buildings subjected to earthquake ground motions efficiently.

A flying drone generates vibrations in a great variety of frequencies, and it requires a gimbal system stabilization loop design in order to obtain clean and accurate image from the camera attached to the drone under this environment. The gimbal system for drone comprises the structure that supports the camera module and the stabilization loop which follows the precise angle while blocking the vibration from outside. This study developed a dynamic model for one axis for the stabilization loop design of a gimbal system for drones and applied classical PID controller and intelligent PID controller. The Stabilization loop design was developed by using MATLAB/Simulink and compared the performance of each controller through simulation. Especially, the intelligent PID controller can be designed almost without the dynamic model and it demonstrates that the angle can be followed without readjusting the parameters of the controller even when the characteristics of the model changes.
