In order to protect a structure over its full life cycle, a novel tuned mass damper (TMD), the so-called semi-active eddy current pendulum tuned mass damper (SAEC-PTMD), which can retune its frequency and damping ratio in real-time, is proposed in this study. The structural instantaneous frequency is identified through a Hilbert-Huang transformation (HHT), and the SAEC-PTMD pendulum is adjusted through an HHT-based control algorithm. The eddy current damping parameters are discussed, and the relationship between effective damping coefficients and air gaps is fitted through a polynomial function. The semi-active eddy current damping can be adjusted in real-time by adjusting the air gap based on the linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG)-based control algorithm. To verify the vibration control effect of the SAEC-PTMD, an idealized linear primary structure equipped with an SAEC-PTMD excited by harmonic excitations and near-fault pulse-like earthquake excitations is proposed as one of the two case studies. Under strong earthquakes, structures may go into the nonlinear state, while the Bouc-Wen model has a wild application in simulating the hysteretic characteristic. Therefore, in the other case study, a nonlinear primary structure based on the Bouc-Wen model is proposed. An optimal passive TMD is used for comparison and the detuning effect, which results from the cumulative damage to primary structures, is considered. The maximum and root-mean-square (RMS) values of structural acceleration and displacement time history response, structural acceleration, and displacement response spectra are used as evaluation indices. Power analyses for one earthquake excitation are presented as an example to further study the energy dissipation effect of an SAECPTMD. The results indicate that an SAEC-PTMD performs better than an optimized passive TMD, both before and after damage occurs to the primary structure.

난수성 eddy의 운동에 있어서 경계면 마찰과 해저지형의 중요성을 연구하기 위하여 비선형 QG-모델이 사용되었다. 수직구조를 나타내는 유선함수의 경험적 직교함수는 순압과 제 1 경압 역학 함수를 표현한다. 이 모델은 10 km ${\times}$ 10 km의 격자간격을 지닌 1000 km ${\times}$ 1000 km으로 구성되어 있고 360일동안 시험하였다. 대한해협을 통한 유입량은 쓰가루해협을 통하여 빠져 나간다. 울릉분지내(평평한 해저지형)에서는 QG방정식의 비선형 이류항과 ${\beta}$-효과사이에 균형이 난수성 eddy를 북쪽으로 이동하게 한다. 대륙사면위에서의 난수성 eddy는 비선형항이 중요하게 작용하지만, 평평한 지형에서는 보조적인 역활을 한다. 해저지형이 변화하는 해역에서 난수성 eddy의 비선형항은 시간의 함수이다. 강한 eddy는 북쪽으로 이동한다. Eddy의 세기가 약해지면, 비선형항과 지형적인 베타효과항이 균형을 이루게 된다. Eddy의 분산과 함께 비선형성이 감소하므로서, 지형적 Rossby파 개념에 의하여 난수성 eddy는 대륙사면을 따라서 남하한다. 수치실험은 난수성 eddy의 운동에 미치는 경계면 마찰의 중요성을 확인하였다. 난수성 eddy의 북쪽 침투거리는 경계면 마찰계수의 감소로 증가하게 된다 아울러 Reynolds number의 감소로 북쪽이동을 방지할 수 있다. 또한 이 난수성 eddy운동과정에 있어서 해저지형이 중요한 역할을 하는 것이 제시되었다.

Application of eddy current sensing principle for the non-contact estimation of very low concentration of electrolytic solution is presented in this paper. for this application, a new, simple, low-cost, low-power structure for the eddy current sensor is proposed. By measuring the eddy current produced in the conducting electrolytic solution, the concentration is estimated. Therefore, the unknown concentration can be estimated comparing with the database which is prepared as the relation between the change in inductance and various concentrations of electrolytic solution. The concentration, as low as l ppm of the solutioin can be detected by this sensor. It was tested on various low concentration solutions of NaCl. It shows distinct response for various concentrations.

In the paper the eddy current loss in brushless DC motor due to switching frequency supplied by PWM inverter, is analyzed. The compensated conductivity is used in order to analyze the eddy current loss in brushless DC motor which has lamination structure. The eddy current loss is deceased when switching frequency supplied by PWM inverter is gradually increased from 1.2kHz up to 12kHz. The high switching frequency of PWM inverter make the output wave into a similar sine wave and this leads to the decreasing eddy current loss.

Regular high-strength carbon steel is currently the most commonly used pipe material for onshore and offshore pipelines. The corrosion of offshore pipelines is a major problem as they age. The collapse of these structures as a result of corrosion may have a heavy cost is lives and assets. Therefore, their monitoring and screening is a high priority for maintenance, which may ensure the integrity and safety of a structure. Monitoring risers and subsea pipelines effectively can be accomplished using eddy current inspection to detect the average remaining wall thickness of corroded low-alloy carbon steel pipelines through corrosion scaling, paint, coating, and concrete. A test specimen for simulating the offshore pipeline is prepared as a standard specimen for an analysis and experiment with differential bobbin eddy current sensors. Using encircling coils, the signals for the defect in the simulated specimen are analyzed and evaluated in experiments. Differential bobbin eddy current sensors can diagnose the defects in a specimen, and experiments have been carried out using the developed bobbin eddy current sensor. As a result, the most optimum coil parameters were selected for designing differential bobbin eddy current sensors.

This study investigates eddy transports in terms of space and time for momentum, heat, and moisture, emphasizing comparison of the results in three reanalysis data sets including ERA-Interim from the European Center for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), NCEP2 from the National Center for Environmental Prediction and the Department of Energy (NCEP-DOE), and JRA-55 from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) during boreal winter. The magnitudes for eddy transports of momentum in ERA-Interim are represented as the strongest value in comparison of three data sets, which may be mainly come from that both zonal averaged meridional and zonal wind tend to follow the hierarchy of ERA-Interim, NCEP2, and JRA-55. Whereas in relation to heat and moisture eddy transports, those of NCEP2 are the strongest, implying that zonal averaged air temperature (specific humidity) tend to follow the raking of NCEP2, ERA-Interim, and JRA-55 (NCEP2, JRA-55, and ERA-Interim), except that transient eddy transports for heat in ERA-Interim are the strongest involving both meridional wind and air temperature. The stationary and transient eddy transports in the context of space and time correlation, and intensity of standard deviation demonstrate that the correlation (intensity of standard deviation) influence the structure (magnitude) of eddy transports. The similarity between ERA-Interim and NCEP2 (ERA-Interim and JRA-55) of space correlation (time correlation) closely resembles among three data sets. A resemblance among reanalysis data sets of space correlation is larger than that of time correlation.

This paper proposes the concept of FlexPCB(flexible Printed Circuit Board) conductive structure for electrodynamic bearings. It has three main advantages: easy “printing” of considerably thin conductive wires, resulting in potential reduction in stray eddy currents; realization of specific conductive configurations with high precision to optimize the eddy current flowing; simplicity in being wound to cylinders or hollow cylinders of different diameters. To verify this new concept, the FlexPCB conductive structure was manufactured, an axial electrodynamic bearing test rig was built and the conductive structure's induced voltage was measured along the axial displacements from 0mm to 56mm at three rotating speeds. The finite element method was used to calcuatlate the flux density of electrodynamic bearing and induced voltage of the FlexPCB conductive structure. The experimental results are compared with the results from the FEM calculation. It is concluded that the measured and calculated induced voltages have consistency in the middle part of the bearing.
