Currently many studies on the unmanned gantry crane for the automated container terminal are accomplished. This is needed for the development of large scale, automation, high speed, unmanned system and information system in port facility. In order to do efficient container handling job in port yard, the automated handling system is well adapted to the job environments and all-season weather, In order to realize the automatic and unmanned system for container handling job, the required functions and main structure system are studied. The major problems of operation of the conventional gantry crane are that the vibration of gantry structure body is occurred by operation and that high-speed and precision position-velocity control and the capability to dope to the external disturbances caused by the wind, rain, fog and job environments. In this paper, the fundamental study for establishment of the concept and the dynamic modelling of the major sub system of the unmanned gantry crane is presented. These studies are useful for design and manufacturing of the new concept model of the unmanned gantry crane for efficient operation of the automated container terminal.

Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) have been commonly used to effectively enhance the dynamic behavior of the rotating shaft supported by rolling element bearings. However, due to the recent trends of high operating speed, high load capacity and light weight in rotating machinery, it is becoming increasingly important to change the dynamic characteristics of rotating machines in operation so that the excessive vibrations, which may occur particularly when passing through critical speeds or unstable regions, can be avoided. Semi-active type SFDs using magneto-rheological fluid (MR fluid), which responds to an applied magnetic field with a change in rheoloaical behavior, are introduced in order to find its applications to rotating machinery as an effective device attenuating unbalance responses. In this paper, a semi-active SFD using MR fluid is designed, tested and identified by means of linear analysis to investigate the capability of changing its dynamic properties such as damping and stiffness. Furthermore, the proposed device is applied to a rotor system to investigate its potential capability for vibration attenuation: an efficient method for selecting the optimal location of the proposed damper is introduced and control algorithm that could improve the unbalance response properties of a flexible rotor is also proposed.

보본체와 물받이공을 보호하는 바닥보호공(bed protection)은 굴요성 구조(flexible structure)인 돌망태, 블록공, 사석 등으로 설치되어야 하며, 일반적으로 경제성과 시공성이 우수한 사석(riprap)이 많이 이용된다. 이때 사석의 안정성 확보를 위한 설계기준으로 국내의 경우 포설길이에 대해서만 제시하고 있으나, 외국의 경우 수심, 유속 등의 값을 기초로 사석의 크기, 포설두께, 포설길이를 산정할 수 있도록 상세하게 제시하고 있다. 이와 같은 실정으로 국내 하천 실무자들이 바닥보호공을 설계 할 때 하천설계기준을 바탕으로 블라이 공식 또는 국립건설시험소 공식을 적용하여 사석의 포설길이는 산정하지만 사석의 크기, 중량 등의 제원들은 외국 설계기준을 차용하여 산정하거나 생략하는 경우도 있다. 따라서 하천설계기준의 보완 및 최근 국내 주요하천에서 발생하는 바닥보호공 유실, 침하 등의 문제를 해결하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 전산유체동역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD) 모형인 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하여, 바닥보호공 주변 흐름에 대한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 이때 난류 모형은 LES (Large Eddy Simulation) 모형을 적용하였으며, 바닥보호공에 작용하는 비교적 작은 척도의 와(vortex)를 해상할 수 있도록 조밀한 격자를 부여하였다. 초기 수치모형 결과의 적정성은 수리실험 결과와 비교하여 판단하였으며, 수리실험을 잘 재현해내는 격자, 매개변수 등을 적용하여 보의 하류 수위 변화에 따른 유속, 난류강도 등에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 본 연구 결과는 바닥보호공 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 향후 수리실험과 병행하여 국내 실정에 맞는 설계식 개발에 대한 연구가 필요한 것으로 보인다.

국내 하천에 설치된 횡단구조물은 2009년을 기준으로 약 20,753개로 알려져 있으며 수위 유지, 하상고 유지 등의 목적을 가지고 설치된다. 그러나 낙차를 가진 빠른 유속의 흐름을 형성시켜, 하류 하상에서 국소 세굴을 발생시킨다. 이를 방지하기 위해 횡단구조물 하류에 굴요성 구조(flexible structure)인 돌망태, 블록공, 사석 등으로 이루어진 바닥보호공(bed protection)이 설치되나 유실, 침하 등의 문제가 빈번히 발생되고 있어, 문제를 해결하기 위한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 이러한 피복 대책에서 일어날 수 있는 파괴 기구인 전단파괴, 흡출 파괴, 경계 파괴, 하상 형태 변화에 따른 하부 침식 중 흡출 파괴(winnowing failure)를 유발하는 흐름을 검토하기 위한 수치모의를 수행하였다. 이때 흡출 파괴는 바닥보호공의 공극으로 미세한 하상 재료가 난류와 침투류의 작용에 의해 침식되어 바닥보호공이 침하되는 것을 말한다. 수치모의는 전산유체동역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD) 모형인 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하였으며, 난류 모형으로 LES 모형을 적용하고 조밀한 격자를 부여하여 바닥보호공의 공극에서 발생되는 비교적 작은 척도의 와(vortex)를 해상할 수 있도록 하였다. 수치모의에 적용된 횡단구조물은 보, 물받이공, 바닥보호공으로 구성하였으며 특히, 바닥보호공의 형상은 구체(sphere)로 가정하여 다층으로 배치하였다. 바닥보호공의 공극 또는 구체 사이에서 발생되는 유속, 압력 등의 흐름특성을 분석한 결과, 바닥보호공 두께가 두꺼울수록 흡출 파괴에 대해 안정적인 것으로 나타났다. 이는 바닥보호공 설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으며, 향후 입자영상유속계(Particle Image Velocimeter, PIV)와 같이 공극에서 흐름을 측정할 수 있는 방법과 병행한 연구를 수행할 수 있을 것이다.

Dynamic analysis is necessary for the High-Speed Railway vehicle which aims to run on max 400km/h. Especially, dynamic simulation using CAE(Computer Aided Engineering) can help to reduce the time of development of the High-Speed Railway vehicles. Also, it helps to reduce prices and improve the quality such as safety, stability and ride. There are many dynamic software for a railway vehicle, such as Vampire and ADAMS-Rail. There are limitations for each software and difficulties to analyze overall dynamics for entire railway system. To overcome these limitations, in this study, a program which can simulate entire railway vehicles was developed. This program is easy to use because it was developed using C++, which is object-oriented programming language. In addition, the basic platform for the development of dynamic solver is prepared using the nodal, modal coordinate system with a wheel-rail contact module. Rigid, flexible and large deformable body systems can be modeled by a user according to the characteristic of a desired system. Its reliability is verified by comparison with a commercial analysis program.

From the view point of railway vehicle dynamics, the interaction between wheel and rail have an huge effect on the behavior of the vehicle. This phenomenon is an unique motion, only for railway vehicles. Furthermore, close investigation of the backgrounds of the interaction is the key to estimate the dynamic behavior of the vehicle, successfully. To evaluate the model including flexible bodies such as car body and catenary system of the next generation express train, it is necessary to develop proper dynamic solver including a wheel rail contact module. In this study, wheel-rail contact module is developed using the general purpose dynamic solver. First of all, the procedure for calculation of the wheel-rail contact force has been established. Generally, yaw angle of the wheelset is ignored. Sets of information are summarized as tables and splined for further uses. With this information, normal force and creep coefficient can be extracted and used for FASTSIM algorithm, which has been shown good reliability over years. Normal force and longitudinal, lateral force at the contact surface are also calculated. Those data are verified by commercial railway simulation program 'VAMPIRE'. This procedure and program can offer a basic process for estimation of the dynamic behavior and wear of the wheel-rail system, even while running on the curved rail. Finally, multi-dimensional inspection tool will be developed including the prediction of the derailment.

The aim of this study was to interpret the structure and dynamics of a transfer shuttle system as a material supply device for small machine tools. The following conclusions were obtained by performing a structural interpretation of the material supply equipment with respect to workload and the dynamical interpretation of a flexible multibody carriage shuttle. When a 1,000-kg workload was applied to a fork lift, the safety factor was approximately 1.86. To conservatively assess the integrity of the structure, a 1,000-kg workload would be proper. In the case of a deflection of the fork system, the width increased with increasing time. The greatest deflection occurred at 5.5 s, which was the largest increase in the time point of the fork system.

This study aims to quantify the variation in the performance of a tilting pad journal bearing (TPJB) owing to the elastic deformation of its pad. To this end, we first defined a parameter, "elastic preload", and predicted the changes in the performance of the TPJB, as a function of the preload amount. We used the iso-viscosity Reynolds equation, which ignores the temperature rise due to viscous shear in thin films, and the resultant thermal deformation of the bearing structure. We employed a three-dimensional finite element model to predict the elastic deformation of the bearing pad, and a transient analysis, to converge to a static equilibrium condition of the flexible pads and journal. Conducting a modal coordinate transformation helped us avoid heavy computational issues arising from a mesh refinement in the three-dimensional finite element pad model. Moreover, we adopted the Hertzian contact model to predict the elastic deformation at the pivot location. With the aforementioned overall strategy, we predicted the performance changes owing to the elastic deformation of the pad under varying load conditions. From the results, we observed an increase in the preload due to the pad elastic deformation.

The global performance of a 15 MW floating offshore wind turbine, a newly designed semisubmersible floating foundation with multiple heave plates by CNOOC, is investigated with two independent turbine-floater-mooring coupled dynamic analysis programs CHARM3D-FAST and OrcaFlex. The semisubmersible platform hosts IEA 15 MW reference wind turbine modulated for VolturnUS-S and hybrid type (chain-wire-chain with clumps) 3×2 mooring lines targeting the water depth of 100 m. The numerical free-decay simulation results are compared with physical experiments with 1:64 scaled model in 3D wave basin, from which appropriate drag coefficients for heave plates were estimated. The tuned numerical simulation tools were then used for the feasibility and global performance analysis of the FOWT considering the 50-yr-storm condition and maximum operational condition. The effect of tower flexibility was investigated by comparing tower-base fore-aft bending moment and nacelle translational accelerations. It is found that the tower-base bending moment and nacelle accelerations can be appreciably increased due to the tower flexibility.

The service for waterworks is important infrastructure structuring the cities and the public properties affecting the health and the abundant lives of the residents at the same time. However, the waterworks project still has many problems in reality in spite of the continuous efforts from the nation, local governments and many related people in waterworks projects. From the aspect of the situation, this purpose of this study is to review the actual operation state and the operation principle on the basis of the accidents in the system and to suggest the policy leverages for accurate diagnosis of the waterworks project and for the efficient operation. The operation structure of the service for waterworks is the complicated system showing the overlapped forms of the relation with other various factors. Moreover, as this has been influenced by other external environments, it has flexible features that can be changed by unexpected factors even if the internally close causality has been established The domestic local operation of waterworks have been divided by an administrative district and it causes inefficiency in the aspect of the country and the local government with small sized of budget faces the insufficient investments. These phenomena have been shown in some small sized areas located in Chungcheongbuk-do and, making a realistic suggestion by the related local government to improve the waterworks operation project is urgent. For this reason, this study is to lead the policy leverages to increase the efficiency of the service for waterworks and to stabilize the structure of virtuous circle in the system. At first, the reformation of the waterworks structure should be performed after the various supports and system maintenance. At second, the service quality should be improved through the creativity in management and the consideration of the efficiency by the participation of private enterprises for waterworks service. At third, through the specialized waterworks operation, the quality improvement of the waterworks and satisfying the standard of natural environment should be related. In this context, the fundamental solutions for the problems of domestic waterworks service and finding realistic alternatives are considered to be the priority for the waterworks project to be operated efficiently.
