The purpose of this study was to predict the load effect on a damper installed at a nuclear power plant building after a tsunami using a volume of fluid (VOF) numerical analysis method. The wave height was determined by a sine wave function and the tsunami condition was estimated by the wave length. Also, using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the maximum damper load was set as a boundary condition for the structural analysis that verified how stress and deformation affect the damper. As a result, such simulations estimated the highest stress distribution for a wave length of 350 m with a maximum stress present at the cross point of stiffness installed at the rear end of the damper. The total deformation was approximately 32 mm at the center of damper.

This paper presents the modelling of an MR damper system through extensive experimental studies. The hysteresis of the MR damper is modelled by using the improved Bouc-wen model. A test bed for experimental studies of measuring parameters of the MR damper is designed and implemented. Based on the experimental data, the Bouc-Wen Model is modified for the MR damper system. To check the modelling property, a vehicle suspension system is controlled using a PID controller for the verification of the MR damper model.

Conditions of stiffness for a steel spring torsional vibration damper are difficult and ambiguous. Nevertheless correct estimation of stiffness is essential and important in the damper design for the damper to activate properly in the field. In this paper, to build up the estimation method of steel spring torsional vibration damper a miniaturized model was developed for modelling between a spring and inner star of the damper. The method obtained from the results through the experiment and analysis of it was applied to the prototype torsional damper.

This paper presents the results of a study to verify the sufficient control performance of semiactive tuned mass damper and to identify suitable control methods for semiactive tuned mass damper in structural vibration control. In this study, four control algorithms are considered: on-off displacement based groundhook, on-off velocity based groundhook, clipped optimal and maximum energy dissipation algorithm. For semiactive tuned mass damper, MR damper is considered as a controllable damping device and the command voltage is calculated by the control algorithms. Each of the control theory is applied to the three story shear building excited by three earthquakes. The performance of each algorithm is compared with that of conventional tuned mass damper system using evaluation criteria. The simulation results indicate that semiactive tuned mass damper has control efficiency. Among the control algorithms, on-off displacement based control theory shows the best efficacy and robustness.

This study proposes a technique to dissipate the energy of a rocking wall installed on a frame by using a metallic damper. The rocking behavior is to turn left and right about the wall vertical axis. The development system is a method of dissipating energy by installing a damper which is the like on a large displacement portion. Experimental results showed that in case of shorter strut make strength capacity increasement and in case of longer strut make deformation capacity increasement. The higher the strut height, the better the energy dissipation capacity. The proposed equation for estimating the steel damper strength applied to this study is a straight type strut damper. However, it is not suitable for calculation of the strength of clamped type strut damper where both flexural behavior and shear behavior are mixed.

In this paper, the analysis of dynamic characteristics and performance investigation of the ER damper are investigated. The ER damper is based on a double rod actuator and an electric field are applied to the moving electrode composed of cylinder and piston. The performance of the ER damper is length of piston electrode field and its velocities. The experimental and calculated results show that the characteristic of the ER damper varies with the magnitude of the electric field.

This paper presents field-dependent dynamic characteristics of a shock damper featuring an electro-rheological(ER) damper. A cylindrical type of the shock damper is designed and manufactured on the basis of the field-dependent Bingham model. The damping force is then measured with respect to the piston velocity at various electric fields. The measured damping force is incorporated with the 1DOF shock system to analyze the shock isolation performance.

Wind-induced oscillations are known to cause damage to the conductors and related hardware through fatigue, clashing of the bundled conductors and bolt loosening. Wake-induced oscillations have been known since the advent of bundled conductors. they are caused by aerodynamically unstable forces acting on the leeward conductors in the wake of the windward conductors, In order to control it, spacer dampers are installed in transmission lines with bundled conductors. Spacer damper installation is very important, it can cause damage to the conductors and spaer damper itself. This paper suggests importance of spacer damper installation in bundled conductor systems.

A torsional damper is generally used to reduce the torsional vibration which occurs at a crankshaft of a multi-cylinder high speed diesel engine. Vibration amplitude should be estimate by the appropriate simulation model to determine the optimum specifications of damper. In this paper a new method which was based on the random tabu search method(RTSM) would be introduced for the viscous damper design to optimize the damping performance. The result was ascertained by comparing with conventional rubber damper.
