The dynamic behavior of multi-layered stone masonry monuments, such as stone pagoda, are mainly influenced by contour condition of contacting surface of stones. These structures can be modeled as a multi-degrees of freedom system. In this case the mass of the system can be easily estimated, mean while the estimation of stiffness at junction is not simple. In this paper a method for estimating the spring constant at the contacting surface of stone is proposed. The proposed method utilizes the natural frequency of the system which can be obtained by eigenvalue analysis.

엔진 크랭크축계의 비틀림진동은 엔진설계 및 제작에 있어서 오랜동안 주관심사였다. 크랭크축계의 비틀림진동에서 고려되는 문제는 비틀림진동계의 고유진동수와 이에 따른 차수별 엔진의 공진속도와 엔진의 공진속도에서의 비틀림진동각 및 크랭크축의 비틀림진동에 의한 토오크와 비틀림 응력 등이다. 당사에서는 simulation program을 개발했으며, 비틀림 진동측정 방법도 개발했다. 또한 비틀림진동 측정결과와 simulation결과의 비교로부터 simulation결과 및 측정결과의 정확도를 높여가고 있으며, simulation 방법의 개선을 모색하고 있다. 본 글에서는 이 program에 이용된 기본이론과 실험방법 및 댐퍼 선정 방법을 간단히 소개하고자 한다.

A series of forced vibration tests and ambient vibration measurement was conducted on a four-story reinforced concrete building damaged in the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Both low amplitude broadband and moderate amplitude harmonic excitation were applied using a linear shaker and two eccentric mass shakers, respectively, and ambient vibrations were measured before and after each forced vibration test. Accelerations, interstory displacements, and curvature distributions were monitored using accelerometers, LVDTs and concrete strain gauges. Natural frequencies and the associated mode shapes fur the first 7 modes were identified. Fundamental frequencies determined from the eccentric mass shaker tests were 70% to 75% of the values determined using ambient vibration data, and 92% to 93% of the values determined using the linear shaker test data. Larger frequency drops were observed in the NS direction of the building, apparently due to damage that was induced during the Northridge earthquake.

원자력 발전소의 격납건물은 인위적 또는 자연적 재해로부터 방사능의 외부누출을 방지함으로써 공중을 보호하는 역할을 하기 때문에 지속적인 건전성 확인을 통해 안전을 확보하는 것이 필수적이다. 격납건물의 구조적 건전성 확인은 통상 주기적으로 콘크리트에 대한 비파괴강도, 균열 및 중성화, 프리스트레스 텐던의 유효 긴장력 등의 측정을 통해 수행되고 있으나, 이러한 검사는 국부적인 건전도 정보만을 제공할 뿐 격납건물과 같은 대형 구조물 전체의 건전성에 대한 신뢰성 있는 평가 결과를 얻는데 많은 시간과 경비가 소요된다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점은 최근 구조물 전체의 상태를 평가하는 방법으로 주목받고 있는 구조건전성모니터링(Structural Health Monitoring, SHM)기법을 이용하여 극복할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 실제 운전 중인 격납건물을 대상으로 상시진동 측정을 수행하였으며, SHM 기법의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있는 동적특성, 즉 격납건물의 고유진동수와 모드형상을 제시하였다.

In this study, vibrational tendon tension measurement methods are applied to estimate tension of external tendons used in segmental post-tensioned bridges. The acceleration of various length type of tendons is measured and natural frequencies are obtained using FFT (Fast Fourier Transform). The obtained natural frequencies are within 1% error regardless of sensor direction and location. On the basis of natural frequency of tendon, estimation of the tendon tension is performed by using many types of solutions such as string theory equation, multi mode estimation, practical formula estimation and stiff string with clamped-clamped boundary conditions. The results are compared with each other and have shown that the flexural stiffness is not negligible in tendons of this type causing the vibration mode to be inharmonically related. The results have shown that the method using stiff string equation with clamped-clamped boundary conditions is more accurate than the other methods. Application example of in-service bridges has shown that force distribution effects from friction at deviation blocks can be effectively detected.

The natural frequency of a laminated cantilever microbeam was studied in the present investigation. The microbeam was made of quartz on a silicon chip, and its top and bottom surfaces were coated with thin(~30nm) gold films. An ultrasonic testing platform was employed to resonate the microbeam, and its time domain signal was optically measured. The natural frequency was quantified through the fast Fourier transform of the waveform, and the result showed good agreement with a theoretical estimation from the classical beam theory. This study is expected to provide a dynamic evaluation technique for micro/nanoscale materials and micromechanical structures.

It is hard to predict the mechanical characteristics of discontinuous stone masonry structures by the static analysis method, because of irregularity of face stones and also due to randomness of backfill materials. Inversely, one can estimate the mechanical characteristics by comparing the natural frequencies between measured and computed. The aim of this paper is to investigate the computational modeling method of ancient stone arch bridges in Korea and to find the factors influencing their dynamic characteristics. The results revealed that the rigidity of spandrel walls and backfill materials are the most important factors influencing the natural frequencies of stone arch bridges.

Precise estimation of a structure's dynamic characteristics is indispensable for ensuring stable dynamic responses during lifetime especially for the structures which can experience resonance such as railway bridges. In this paper, the results of forced vibration tests of different excitation methods (vibration exciter and impact hammer) are compared to examine the differences and the cause of differences of extracted natural frequencies. Consequently a natural frequency modification method is suggested to eliminate effects of non-structural disturbance factors. Also, sequential forced vibration tests are performed before and after track construction according to the construction stage of a railway bridge, and the variation of natural frequencies are examined. Effect of added mass of vibration exciter and variation of support condition due to the level of excitation force are concluded as the major cause of natural frequency differences. Thus eliminating these effects can enhance the reliability of the extracted natural frequencies. Construction of track affects not only the mass of structure but also the stiffness of the structure. Also, the amount of increase in stiffness varies according to the level of structural deflection. Therefore, reasonable estimation of the level of structural response during operation is important for precise natural frequency calculation at design phase.
