The mega frame system is becoming popular for the design and construction of skyscrapers because this system exhibits structural efficiency by allowing high rigidity of the structure while minimizing the amount of structural materials to be used. Since the mega frame system is usually adopted for super high-rise buildings, the comfort of occupants may be main concerns in the practical application of this system. For the enhancement of the serviceability of mega frame structures, a semi-active tuned mass damper (STMD) is developed in this study. To this end, a Magnetorheological (MR) damper is employed replacing passive damper as a semi-active damper to improve the control effect of a conventional TMD. Since a conventional finite element model of mega frame structures has significant numbers of DOFs, numerical simulation for investigation of control performances of a STMD is impossible by using the full-order model. Therefore, a reduced-order system using minimal DOFs, which can accurately represent the dynamic behavior of a mega frame structure, is proposed in this study through the matrix condensation technique To improve the efficiency of the matrix condensation technique, multi-level matrix condensation technique is proposed using the structural characteristics of mega frame structures. The efficiency and accuracy of the reduced-order control proposed in this study and the control performance of a STMD were verified using example structures.

Recently, the response of a high-rise building to external dynamic force created by wind and earthquake has received much attention. This response is dependent on wind intensity, surrounding environment, building size, shape, mass, stiffness and amount of energy dissipation available in the system. The study has been done on these parameters. Attempts have been made to increase the damping in building system and thereby reduce structural response. These attempts have centered on adding an energy-dissipative system(passive tuned mass damper; passive TMD) to the building system and increasing the overall effective damping. In this paper the optimum condition of passive TMD will be derived with respect to random excitation and the properties of the optimum condition will have been studied.

In this study, a new passive aerodynamic control method is proposed. Control plate which is oscillated by TMD-like mechanism makes flutter stabilizing airflow. Effectiveness of proposed model is verified by experimental and analytical study. In addition, various parameters of the proposed system are investigated. Applicability to long span bridge is also examined. According to the research results, proposed model is very effective in suppressing flutter, and it also shows remarkable robustness.

본 연구에서는 섬유강화 복합재료로 구성된 항공기 날개를 외팔보 형태 구조물로 모델링하고 동특성 해석을 위해 횡전단변형 이론과 고전 적층판 이론을 적용, Rayleigh-Ritz 방법에 의한 진동해석을 수행한뒤 진동 발생시 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 동특성 향상을 정량적으로 제시하였다. 진동을 제어하기 위한 방법으로서 수동적, 능동적 방법을 모두 사용하고 있는데, (보다 자세한 사항은 참고문헌[12] 참조) 본 연구에서는 TMD(Tuned Mass Damper)를 사용하지 않고 복합소재 구조물의 성질을 이용한 탄성배열설계(Structural Tailoring)로 수동적 의미의 면진효과를 거둘 수 있게 하였다. 능동 제어의 경우 되먹임(feedback) 제어기를 이용, 이산(discret) 작동기(actuator)를 통하여 외팔보의 휨 및 비틀림 모우드를 함께 제어하여 효과적인 제어기를 설계하였다.

An intelligent control technique using a neural network is proposed for offshore structures exposed to sea-bed earthquakes. Fluid-structure interaction effect was considered in developing controller and a training algorithm for the neural network is presented. In the numerical example, the performance of the proposed neural network controller was compared with that of a passive controller and uncontrolled structures. Based on the example, it can be concluded that the proposed neuro-control scheme can be used for offshore structures with nonlinear characteristics due to its interaction with fluid.

The High Agility and Remote Control Camera System Can-Satellite ($HA+RC^2S$ CanSat) proposed in this study is a satellite designed by the authors of this work and submitted as an entry in the 2017 CanSat competition in Goheung gun, Jeonnam, Korea. The primary mission of this work is to develop a high agility camera system (HACS) that can obtain high quality images in the air. This objective is achieved by using a tuned mass damper (TMD) to attenuate the residual vibration that occurs immediately after rotating the camera. The secondary objective is to obtain a self-image of CanSat in the air using a remote control self-camera system (RCSS) that is wirelessly controlled using a joystick from a ground station. This paper describes the development process of the $HA+RC^2S$ CanSat, including mission definition, system design, manufacturing, function and performance tests carried out on the ground, and final launch test.
