A virtual rigid is modeled as the parallel structure of a virtual spring and a virtual damper. The reflective force from the virtual model is designed to be as large as possible to improve the realism of the virtual environment while maintaining the stable interaction. So, it is important to analyze the stability boundary of the virtual spring and damper. In the previous researches, the stability boundary is analyzed based on the zero-order-hold (ZOH) method, but it is analyzed based on the first-order-hold (FOH) method and the virtual damper in the paper. The boundary value of the stable virtual damper is inverse proportional to the sampling time and the maximum value of stable virtual stiffness is inverse proportional to the square of the sampling time. And the maximum value in the FOH method is increased to 110% of the value in the ZOH method. If the virtual damper is smaller than about 50% of the boundary value of the virtual damper in the FOH method, the stable virtual stiffness in the FOH method is several times larger than that in the ZOH method.

Stable haptic interaction with virtual environments is essential not only for the safety of the user but also for improving the immersion of the user. If the coefficient of a virtual spring is increased, the system becomes unstable. Therefore, the coefficient of the virtual spring is limited. The haptic system with the high-frequency zero-order-hold (HF-ZOH) is proposed to enhance the stability margin of a virtual spring. In this paper, the relationship among the sampling period of HF-ZOH, the coefficient of the physical damper, and the maximum stable margin of the virtual spring is analyzed. The lager the coefficient of the physical damper is, the shorter the sampling period of the HF-ZOH is, the larger the stable region of the virtual spring becomes. If the ratio N is larger than 40, the stable region of the proposed method is about three times to eight times that of the previous method, according to the coefficient of the physical damper. Hence the method enables to improve the user's realism in virtual environments.

Purpose: The Air Spring Damper System (ASDS) is proposed when existing concrete structures that have not been seismic resistant for economic and technical reasons or low-rise concrete structures that are difficult to earthquake. Method: To conduct a study on the damping force antigen in the kinetic equation of free vibration, we analyze whether this device has damping ability as a damper experimentally and theoretically, and examine the possibility of field application. Result: The air damper system is considered to be more economical than steel hysteresis dampers even if the number of dampers increases due to its easy manufacture and construction and low restrictions on shape, size, material, etc. Conclusion: In an air spring damper system, it is essential to reduce the diameter of the air inlet/outlet hole to improve the damping ratio, and in this case, if the diameter exceeds a certain lower limit, consideration of the compressibility of air is required, so further research is needed.

The Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) is a very important equipment for the safety of a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). In this study, the operating vibration of three kinds of EDG systems was measured. The target EDG systems are Yonggwang 5 unit and Ulchin 2 and 3 units. The Yonggwang 5 and Ulchin 3 unit EDG systems are the same type but the foundation systems are different. One is an anchor bolt type and the other is a spring and viscous-damper type. The purpose of these measurements is for a verification of the vibration isolation effect depending on the foundation system. As a result, It can be said that the spring and viscous damper system of the EDG performed better for the vibration isolation than that of anchor bolt type.

This study pertains to damping device to reduce vibrational responses and shocks in multi-directions. To enhance the capability of disk spring damper which works for vertical vibration and shock, a multi-directional damper is proposed, which contains wedge system as well as disk spring stack. Wedge system converts horizontal load into vertical load. A mathematical model is proposed and investigated for the nonlinear behaviors of the disc spring damper containing wedge system. The results accord with the experimental results. Equivalent viscous damping in vertical and horizontal directions are found based upon energy dissipated.

This paper is on the vibration control of access floor on the frames of reinforced structure. In this study, the horizontal anti-vibration system using precise spring damper was developed and modeling and vibration analysis of the RC structure was performed for the control of horizontal vibration coused by machinery and worker's moving. Experiment was done in three cases, no damper at the RC structures, dampers connecting pedestal to pedestal and pedestal to the structure, for the investigation of the effect of the system on disigned RC structure. For each experiment, the occeleration responses on slab and access floor after giving impact wave and external vibration were measured. It was shown that the magnitude of resonance response of the system with dampers are smaller than without damper and the resonance peak also partly moved to low-frequency range. Furthermore. It was shown that the acceleration components of the system with domoers decreased greatly in high-frequency range and the system was very much effective especially for external vibration. In order to verify the anti-vibration effect of the developed system, the vibration analysis was also done for the system by using the finite element modelling. The analysis results was in good agreement with experimental results. Thus, It is concluded that this study is useful for the design of precise anti-vibration system and micro-vibration control of concrete structures.

In this study, for research on an improvement of the seismic safety of an EDG system, a small scale EDG system was manufactured. For the isolation system, the Coil Spring-Viscous Damper systems were selected. For the shaking table test, 3 kinds of seismic motions were selected which had different frequency contents. In this study, the isolation effects were different and they depended on the input seismic motion. In the case of an NRC earthquake which had low fiequency contents, the isolation effects of the horizontal direction were 20%. But for the seismic motions which had high fiequency contents, the isolation effects were $50{\sim}70%$. In the case of the vertical direction, poor isolation effects were observed. It was because the design properties and the real properties of the isolation system were a little different.

Acoustic design parameters of a Helmholtz resonator are studied experimentally and numerically for acoustic stability in a model acoustic tube. Acoustic damping is quantified by the amplitude of the fluid velocity in mass-spring-damper system. The length of an orifice, the volume of a cavity, and the diameters of an orifice and a cavity in the resonator are selected as design parameters for tuning of the resonator. It is found that acoustic damping capacity is increased by shorter orifice and longer cavity in the resonator. As the ratio of the orifice diameter to the cavity diameter increases in the resonator, the damping capacity decreases.
