Ultrasonic is a powerful nondestructive technique for getting the information of flaws and material properties of in-services facilities. We prepared 4 different 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V specimens by Isothermal aging at $630^{\circ}C$. We evaluated material degradation using ultrasonic parameters, velocity, attenuation and harmonic generation. Attenuation and nonlinear parameter derived from harmonic generation efficiency increased as degradation. Especially the second harmonic of the fundamental wave in the 1,820h aging material was observed to exceed 20dB more than that in the un-aged material. But velocity remained virtually the same for all specimens. We concluded that nonlinear parameter and attenuation are sensitive to material degradation, but velocity was not. It'll be a good parameter for evaluating the material degradation.

The roll damping characteristics of the three models of a 3 ton class fishing vessel such as the bare hull, hull with bilge keels, and hull with bilge keels and a central wing are investigated by the free roll tests in calm water in a towing tank with the variations of the forward speed, initial angle and OG. The experimental results are compared with the numerical results of mathematical modellings by the energy method for these three models and the energy dissipation patterns are also compared.

An ultrasonic pulse-echo diagnostic system for tissue characterization with the estimation of attenuation coefficients is developed and its performance has been examined by system implementation. The system divided into the ultrasonic generator, A/D converter, data communication, computer for signal processing. The methods for estimating the spatial distribution of acoustic attenuation coefficients using the moment analysis are proposed. The experimental results indicate the potential of the methods for tissue characterization.

To reduce the vibration levels, additional dissipation elements such as dry friction dampers are sometimes integrated into bladed disk assembly. In this study, forced response analysis systems for a tuned bladed disk with friction dampers were developed and verified. For the efficient nonlinear vibration analysis, multi-harmonic balanced method and cyclic boundary condition were used. Also, mode shapes obtained using fictitious mass method were used to describe the motion of the structures with the concentrated structural nonlinearity, friction damper. The relative convergence of fictitious mass and traditional unconstrained modes were compared.

Damping behavior of various soil models are compared to actual observed soil damping behavior. Several nonlinear soil models were used and evaluated to predict damping behavior of soils. A combined damping model incorporating both nonvisous and hysteretic damping behavior was developed to better approximate soil behavior. The strengths and limitations of this model are discussed.

Combustion instability is one of the most difficult problems in the development of liquid rocket engines. One of the damping devices for combustion instability is helmholtz resonator. Orifice length is one of factors for designing it. In this study, effects of orifice length are investigated by an experimental tests and a linear acoustic analysis. Damping capacity was improved by the increase of the length of resonator. And the results of an experimental tests and a linear acoustic analysis are showed similar tendency. Also, effects of supplied SPL(sound pressure level) are investigated and the results show that nonlinear effects are increase by the increase of supplied SPL.

Building structures of apartment in korea conventionally adopt shear walls using coupling beams as seismic force-resisting systems. Energy dissipating devices employed the building structures are used instead of the coupling beams in order to increase the seismic performances by providing additional damping and stiffness. This study aims to introduce energy dissipating devices which are preferred in structural system and aims to investigate structural behaviors of shear wall structures employing such devices instead of coupling beams. In order for achieve research objectives, Finite Element Analysis and Nonlinear analysis was carry out. Finite Element Analysis results was correspond with experimental results and this is indicated that the device can provide sufficient additional damping and stiffness into shear wall structures. Throughout nonlinear static analyses, examples structures with the devices can enhance seismic performance of building structures due to their sufficient energy dissipating capacities. Especially, strength and ductility capacities were significantly improved when it is compared with the performance of building structures without the devices. Throughout nonlinear dynamic analyses, it was observed that structural damages can be mitigated due to reduced seismic demands for seismic force-resisting systems. It is especially noted due to the fact that story drifts, accelerations, shear demands are reduced by 15~18%, 20~28% and 15~20%, respectively.

본 논문에서는 비선형 동적해석법을 이용하여 감쇠기의 적용이 철골조 건물의 연쇄붕괴 방지에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 단자유도 구조물에서 감쇠비의 변화에 따라 폭발하중이 구조물의 응답에 미치는 영향을 분석하였고, 15층 3경간 철골조 건물에서는 일정한 감쇠비 하에서 경간을 6m, 9m, 12m로 달리 하면서 감쇠기 설치 효과를 비교하였다. 단자유도 시스템의 경우 감쇠비가 증가 할수록 폭발하중에 의한 진동이 빠르게 감소하고 변위의 감소폭도 커지는 경향을 보였다. 15층 철골조 건물에서도 역시 감쇠기를 설치할 경우 수직 처짐 및 초기 진동을 제어하는 효과가 있었다. 구조물의 경간이 증가하여 수직 변위가 증가 할수록, 감쇠기에 의해 소산된 에너지도 증가하기 때문에 수직 처짐 제어효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, it was investigated for dynamic nonlinear characteristics using dynamic data obtained by shaking table test. The design of Tuned Liquid Damper(TLD) has limitation to plan based on Tuned Mass Damper(TMD) analogy and linear wave theory. Also, while there are many studies regarding properties of TLD under harmonic load, there are not estimated for dynamic non-linear characteristics of TLD under the load that is not governed by particular frequency like a white noise. This paper investigated dynamic non-linear characteristics of TLD varied with load amplitude using a white noise and suggested equations that can estimate damping ratio, natural frequency ratio and effective mass ratio of TLD.

Wave characteristics in the presence of energy damping are investigated using the linear shallow water equations. To get the phase and energy velocities, geometric optics approach is used and then these values are validated through numerical experiments. Energy damping affects wave height, phase and energy velocities which result in wave transformation. When the complex wavenumber is used by the Eulerian approach, it is found that the phase velocity decreases as the damping increases while the energy velocity increases showing higher values than the phase velocity. When the complex angular frequency is used by the Lagrangian approach, the energy-damping wave group is found to propagate in the energy velocity. The energy velocity is found to affect shoaling and refraction coefficient which is verified through numerical experiments for waves on a plane slope.
