This paper describes a new automated simulation system for micromachines whose size range $10^{-6}$ to $10^{-3}$ m. An automic finite element (FE) mesh generation technique, which is bases on the fuzzy knowledge processing and computation al geometry technique, is incorporated into the system, together with one of commerical FE analysis codes, MARC, and one of commerical solid modelers, Designbase. The system allows a geometry model of concern to be automatically converted to different FE models, depending on physical phenomena of micromachines to be analyzed, i,e. electrostatic analysis, stress analysis, modal analysis and so on. The FE models are then automatically analyzed using the FE analysis code. Among a whole process of analysis, the definition of a geometry model, the designation of local node patterns and the assignment of material properties and boundary conditions onto the geometry model are only the interactive process to be done by a user. The interactive operations can be processed in a few minutes. The other processes which are time consuming and labour-intensive in conventional CAE systems are fully automatically performed in a popular engineering workstation environment. This automated simulation system is successfully applied to evaluate an electrostatic micro wobble actuator.

유한요소해석을 통한 대상 구조물의 동특성 해석에 있어서 신뢰성 높은 실제 구조물의 동특성을 정확히 예측하는 해석결과는 얼마나 신뢰성이 높은 유한요소모델을 수립하는가하는 문제와 직결된다고 할 수 있다. 따라서 많은 경험과 노력을 통해 만들어진 모델을 대상으로 모달 테스팅을 통해 관심주파수대역에 걸쳐 모델을 검증하고, 이때 얻어진 데이터를 이용, 모델을 개선하는(Model updating) 작업을 거치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 중량과 크기의 제한으로 인하여 충격망치나 가진기로 가진하기 어려운 함정의 고유진동수 등을 얻기 위한 모달 테스팅 방법으로써 함정의 시운전 항목 중 하나인 주포 사격시험을 이용하여 그 결과와 가능성, 향후 진행방향에 대하여 고찰해 보았다.

In our country, when the replacement for individual components of equipment in nuclear power plants is required, establishment of individual criteria i.e. Required Response Spectra(RRS) of seismic test/analysis for the component is very difficult because of the absence of Test Response Spectra(TRS) for the individual component to be replaced, from the existing qualification documents. In this case, it is required to perform the structural analysis for the nuclear equipment including the components to be replaced. After the structural analysis, Analysis Response Spectra(ARS) at the point of the component shall be generated and used for seismic test of the component. However, as of today, no standard program authorized for the response spectra generation by using the structural analysis exists in korea. Because of above reason, the STAR-Egs computer program was developed by using the method which calculates directly the expected response spectrum(frequency vs. acceleration type) of the selected points in the nuclear equipment with input spectrum(Required Response Spectra, RRS), based on the dynamic characteristics of the Finite Element(FE) model that is equivalent to the nuclear equipment. The STAR-Egs controls ANSYS/I-DEAS commercial software and automatically extract modal parameters of the FE model. The STAR-Egs calculates response spectrum using the established algorithm based on the extracted modal parameters, too. Reliance on the calculation result of the STAR-Egs was verified through comparison output with the result of MATLAB commercial software based on the identical algorithm. Moreover, actual seismic testing was performed as per IEEE344-1987 for the purpose of program verification by comparison of the FE analysis results.

Low-power radio frequency (RF) chip transceiver technology and the associated structural health monitoring platforms have matured recently to enable high-rate, lossless transmission of measurement data across large-scale sensor networks. The intrinsic value of these advanced capabilities is the allowance for high-quality, rapid operational modal analysis of in-service structures using distributed accelerometers to experimentally characterize the dynamic response. From the analysis afforded through these dynamic data sets, structural identification techniques can then be utilized to develop a well calibrated finite element (FE) model of the structure for baseline development, extended analytical structural evaluation, and load response assessment. This paper presents a case study in which operational modal analysis is performed on a three-span prestressed reinforced concrete bridge using a wireless sensor network. The low-power wireless platform deployed supported a high-rate, lossless transmission protocol enabling real-time remote acquisition of the vibration response as recorded by twenty-nine accelerometers at a 256 Sps sampling rate. Several instrumentation layouts were utilized to assess the global multi-span response using a stationary sensor array as well as the spatially refined response of a single span using roving sensors and reference-based techniques. Subsequent structural identification using FE modeling and iterative updating through comparison with the experimental analysis is then documented to demonstrate the inherent value in dynamic response measurement across structural systems using high-rate wireless sensor networks.

구조물에 고유한 진동수,모드형태 및 감쇠비 등과 같은 동적성능치를 추출하기 위하여 25층 및 42층 건물에 대하여 자연진동에 의한 동적계측실험을 수행하였다. 고려된 건물은 주요 횡하중 지지기구로서 코아벽체 혹은 전단벽체가 추가된 철근콘크리트건물이며, 입면 혹은 평면상으로 골조가 혼합된 구조형식을 나타낸다. 특히, 25층 건물은 측면에 위치한 코아벽체 이외에 상부로부터 내려오는 전단벽 구조가 4층 바닥이하에서 골조형식으로 전환되는 복잡한 구조이다. 이와 같은 이유 및 건물 주방향의 유사한 강성배치로 매우 근접하고 혼합된 모드형태가 예상되어 시스템판별 시 어려움이 예상된다. 현재까지 개발된 다양한 시스템판별법을 대상건물의 자연진동 실측기록에 적용하여 모달계수를 유도하였으며, 그 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 3개의 주파수영역 및 4개의 시간영역에 근거한 응답의존 시스템판별법이 고려되었다. 서로 다른 시스템판별법에 의하여 추출된 고유진동수 및 감쇠비는 대체로 상당한 일치를 보였으나, 모드형태는 사용된 방법에 따라 정도가 다르게 불일치를 나타냈다. 실험으로부터 추출한 성능치와 초기 유한요소해석 값을 비교해 본 결과 대상건물 모두 적어도 저차 3개의 고유진동수에서 2배 정도의 차이를 나타냈다. 실험과 해석결과의 일치를 위하여 몇몇 수동모델향상이 시도되었으며, 허용할 만한 결과를 획득하였다. 사용된 시스템판별법에 대하여 각자의 장, 단점에 대하여 기술하였으며, 본 연구와 같은 실제 대형구조물에 대하여 자동모델향상기법을 적용할 시 예상되는 문제점에 대하여 토의하였다.

This paper presents results of vibration analysis of a end-winding of large generator for fossil power plant. A finite element analysis using a commercial S/W is performed to calculate alternating electromagnetic forces, mainly of 120㎐ in 60㎐ machines, acting on the end-winding, and then to calculate forced response of the end-winding under electromagnetic forces. Also, this paper presents analytical and experimental modal analysis results of generator end-winding to validate FE model. We calculated forced response of end-winding on 120㎐, double rotating frequency. These results will be used to evaluate structural reliability of end-winding and applied to update model.

Passengers in a vehicle feel uncomfortable due to squeal noise. Squeal noise, a kind of self-excited vibration, is generated by the friction force between the disc and the pad of the automobile. In this paper, modal analysis of wheel brake system was performed in order to prediction of squeal phenomenon. It was shown that the prediction of system instability is possible by FEM. Finite element model of that brake system was made. Some parts of a real brake was selected and modeled. The normal mode analysis method performs analyses of each brake system component. Experiment of modal analysis was performed for each brake components and experimental results were compared with analytical result from FEM. The complex eigenvalue analysis results compared with braking test. The analysis results show good correlation with braking test for the squeal frequency at an unstable mode.

This paper presents a prestress-loss monitoring technique for prestressed concrete (PSC) girder structures that uses a vibration-based system identification method. First, the theoretical backgrounds of the prestress-loss monitoring technique and the system identification technique are presented. Second, vibration tests are performed on a lab-scaled PSC girder for which the modal parameter was measured for several prestress-force cases. A numerical modal analysis is performed by using an initial finite element (FE) model from the geometric, material, and boundary conditions of the lab-scaled PSC girder. Third, a vibration-based system identification is performed to update the FE model by identifying structural parameters since the natural frequency of the FE model became identical to the experimental results. Finally, the feasibility of the prestress-loss monitoring technique is evaluated for the PSC girder model by using the experimentally measured natural frequency and numerically identified natural frequency for several prestress-force cases.
