In this paper the active vibration control system using a linear oscillatory actuator(LOA) is studied to suppress structural vibration. In the LOA, the AC-power-energized armature generates a shift field in an air gap, which produces a oscillating force to the mover in the magnetic field generated by high density permanent magnets. LOA has relatively simple structure with almost maintenance free, compared with a hydraulic actuator. Performance test of the active vibration control system using a LOA is carried out on a steel test structure under base excitation. From this test, it is confirmed that the acceleration level of the test structure is drastically reduced near the resonant region.

A localization development of Composite rotor blade for Smart Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(SUAV) has been conducted. Overall localization development encompassed selection of domestic composite material having similar properties to that of original one at its best, coupon tests for data base of new material properties, re-calculation of blade sectional properties, and validation of structural/dynamic design requirements such as isolation of rotor natural frequency from excitation, static and fatigue strength, aeroelastic stability. The results of all these activities are described. This paper briefly discusses the improved manufacturing process for the localization of SUAV blade.

Global and local behaviors of a lightly RC shear walls are investigated in this paper. For the sake of cyclic behaviors, nominal ground accelerations of 0.15 g, 0.40 g and 0.55 g which associated with natural periods of the walls are applied as listed in French CAMUS-2000 shake table test. Modified Kent & Park model, Drucker-Prager model for concrete material and $Giufr\acute{e}$-Menegotto-Pinto model for rebar are used for time history analyses using fiber/solids elements respectively. Alternatively, Eulerian beam analysis are discussed by imposing inelastic hinges at the most possible plastic hinge location using modified Takeda's trilinear model with stiffness reduction. Relative displacements, base shears, bending moments of 5-story shear building with 36-tons of mass under bi-lateral seismic excitation are extracted and compared with EC-8, PS-92 and KBC-09 provisions. Multi-scaled degradation process; material damage, elemental fracture and structural failure in turn is discussed in the view of numerical accuracy, efficiency and limitation depending on three different model-based analyses.

In this paper active vibration control system using a linear oscillatory actuator (LOA) is studied to suppress structural vibration. Being compared with a hydraulic actuator, a LOA has simplified structure and requires a few elements, so it has lots of merits with respect to economics and maintenance. Performance test of active vibration control system using LOA is carried out on a steel test structure under base excitation. From this test it is confirmed that acceleration level of test structure is reduced near the resonance region. In the future research on the application to large to structures will be studied.

In this paper, we describe the OGY method that convert the motion on a chaotic attractor to attracting time periodic motion by malting only small perturbations of a control parameter. The OGY method is illustrated by application to the control of the chaotic motion in chaotic attractor to happen at the famous Logistic map and Henon map and confirm it by making periodic motion. We apply it the chaotic motion at the behavior of the thin beam under periodic torsional base-excitation, and this chaotic motion is made the periodic motion by numerical experiment in the time evaluation on this chaotic motion. We apply the OGY method with the Jacobian matrix to control the chaotic motion to the periodic motion.

In this study, based on the results from the sinusoidal base excitation analyses of a single degree of freedom system with a tuned mass damper (TMD), it is verified that optimal friction force can improve the performance of a TMD like a linear viscous damper which has been usually used in general TMD. The magnitude of the optimal friction increases with increasing mass ratio of the TMD and decreases with increasing structural damping. Particularly, it is observed that the optimized friction force gives better control performance than the optimized viscous damping of the TMD. However, because the performance of the TMD considerably deteriorates when the friction force increases over the optimal value, it is required to keep the friction force from exceeding the optimal value.

The main concept of base isolation system is to reduce the member forces by decreasing the earthquake forces transmitted to superstructure instead of the conventional techniques of strengthening the structural members. There are two important advantages in friction pendulum systems. The functions of carrying the vertical load and of providing horizontal stiffness are effectively separated. This results in a more stable system that eliminates the need of a fail-safe mechanism. Friction pendulum systems are less sensitive to variations in the frequency content of ground excitation and tend to limit the intensity of the farce imparted to the superstructure. This study investigates the friction coefficients on the FPS test specimens according to the velocity, bearing pressure and test waveform.

Lumichrome (7,8-dimethylalloxazine) exhibits two fluorescence emission maxima at 440 and 540 nm in pyridine-dioxane. These emission band maxima are attributable to radiative decays from the excited states of lumichrome and its flavin tautomer, 7,8-dimethylisoalloxazine, respectively. The growth of the latter can be followed upon excitation of the former with a 2-nanosecond light pulse generated from the nitrogen plasma discharge lamp. The excited state tautomerism results from proton transfer from N-1 to N-10 position during the lifetime of the lumichrome singlet excited state. The rate depends on the concentration of general base, pyridine, and it is an order of magnitude slower than diffusion-controlled processes.

In the present article, effect of non-uniform excitation due to spatially variation of seismic input on nonlinear response of concrete gravity dams is considered. The reservoir is assumed compressible. Isotropic damage mechanics approach is used to model static and dynamic nonlinear behavior of mass concrete in 2D space. The validity of utilized nonlinear model is considered using available theoretical results under static and dynamic conditions. The tallest monolith of Pine Flat dam is selected as a case study. Two cases are analyzed for considering the effect of limited wave propagation velocity on seismic behavior of the dam-reservoir system in which travelling velocities are chosen as 2000 m/s and infinity. It is found that tensile damage in neck and toe regions and also, in the vicinity of the base increase when the system is excited non-uniformly.

In this study, to improve the ride and handling characteristics of the vehicle whose hard points have been already fixed, a tuning method of load spring, damper and stabilizer bar is described. For the suspension system of vehicle, optimized design is necessary to satisfy the incompatible two dynamic characteristics which are the ride isolation property between unsprung mass and sprung mass to reduce the excitation from the road and the accurate correring response property to specific steering inputs. To accomplish above aims, we may approach by experimental method, but it requires to sacrifice much time and cost. This paper, therefore, provides a process of suspension development to improve the ride and handling properties by using computer simulation with saving time and cost, and as results, comparaes the dynamic characteristics of the tuned vehicle with the base vehicle not tuned.
