A three node triangular element with drilling rotations incorporating improved higher-order zig-zag theory(HZZT) is developed to analyze the vibration of pretwisted composite plates with embedded damping layer. Shear force matching conditions are enforced along the interfaces between the embedded damping patch and the border patch by matching the shear forces of the embedded damping patch to the shear forces of the adjacent border patch. The natural frequencies and modal loss factors are calculated for cantilevered pretwisted composite blade with damping core with the present triangular element, and compared to experiments and MSC/NASTRAN using a layered combination of plate and solid elements.

In this thesis, a full-scale K shape damper test model was constructed in which a passive vibration control system. This passive vibration control system was incorporated with the use of a newly developed turbulent flow damper sealed by viscoelastic material. A series of tests and earthquake observation has been conducted in this test model. The purpose of the present thesis is to investigate the vibration response characteristics of the building and to verify the effectiveness of the vibration control system. By the static loading test, it was recognized that incorporation of the dampers had little influence on static horizontal stiffness of the building. Free vibration tests revealed that the dampers incorporated increased the damping ratio of the building up to 3 times compared with the undamped case. The effectiveness of the developed vibration control system was confirmed based on the excitation tests and earthquake response observation.

Optimal damping layout of the constrained viscoelastic damping layer on beam is identified with temperatures by using a gradient-based numerical search algorithm. An optimal design problem is defined in order to determine the constrained damping layer configuration. A finite element formulation is introduced to model the constrained damping layer beam. The four-parameter fractional derivative model and the Arrhenius shift factor are used to describe dynamic characteristics of viscoelastic material with respect to frequency and temperature. Frequency-dependent complex-valued eigenvalue problems are solved by using a simple resubstitution algorithm in order to obtain the loss factor of each mode and responses of the structure. The results of the numerical example show that the proposed method can reduce frequency responses of beam at peaks only by reconfiguring the layout of constrained damping layer within a limited weight constraint.

Viscoelastic damping materials are widely used to reduce noise and vibration because of its low cost and easy implementation, for examples, on the body structure of passenger cars, air planes, electric appliances and ships. To design the damped structures, the material property such as elastic modulus and loss factor is essential information. The four-parameter fractional derivative model well describes the dynamic characteristics of the viscoelastic damping materials with respect to both frequency and temperature. However, the identification procedure of the four-parameter is very time-consuming one. In this study a new identification procedure of the four-parameters is proposed by using an FE model and a gradient-based numerical search algorithm. The identification procedure goes two sequential steps to make measured frequency response functions(FRF) coincident with simulated FRFs: the first one is a peak alignment step and the second one is an amplitude adjustment step. A numerical example shows that the proposed method is useful in identifying the viscoelastic material parameters of fractional derivative model.

본 연구에서는 직접 제작된 전도유체(electrorheological fluid)용 수직진동 rhemeter 기기상의 구조 해석 및 실험을 실시하였다. 수직진동 rheomether는 간단하게 제작이 가능하고, 고전압 발생장치를 연결하므로 전동유체의 점탄성 특성을 비교적 쉽게 측정할 수 있다. Rheometer의 구조적 변수와 측정된 힘, 변형 등을 이용하여 복소 점도(complex viscosity), 복소 전단 변형률(complex shear modulus), loss tangent 등의 선형 점탄성 물질 함수를 직접 계산할 수 있으며, corn starch를 polybutene/kerosene에 분산시킨 전동유체를 이용하여 전기장하의 점탄성을 측정하였다.

A full treatment of damping material is not an effective method because the damping effect is not significantly increased compared to that obtained by an effective partial damping treatment. Thus, a variety of methodologies has been considered in order to achieve an optimal damping treatment. One of the widely applied approaches is topology optimization. However, the high computational expenses can be an issue in topology optimization. A new efficient convergence criterion, reducible design variable method (RDVM), is applied to reduce computational expense in topology optimization. The idea of RDVM topology optimization is to adaptively reduce the number of design variables based on the history. The iteration repeats until the number of design variables becomes zero. The aim of this research is to adopt RDVM topology optimization into obtaining an optimal damping treatment. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of RDVM topology optimization, optimal damping layouts and computational expenses are compared between conventional and RDVM topology optimization.
