The seismic vulnerability analysis of multi-span bridges can be based on the response of the piers, provided that deck, bearings and foundations remain elastic. The lateral response of an RC bridge pier can be affected by different mechanisms (i.e., flexure, shear, lap-splice or buckling of the longitudinal reinforcement bars, second order effects). In the literature, simplified formulations are available for mechanisms different from the flexure. On the other hand, the flexural response is usually calculated with a numerically-based Moment-Curvature diagram of the base section and equivalent plastic hinge length. The goal of this paper is to propose a simplified analytical solution to obtain the Moment-Curvature relationship for hollow circular RC sections. This based on calibrated polynomials, fitted against a database comprising 720 numerical Moment-Curvature analyses. The section capacity curve is defined through the position of 6 characteristic points and they are based on four input parameters: void ratio of the hollow section, axial force ratio, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, transversal reinforcement ratio. A case study RC bridge pier is assessed with the proposed solution and the results are compared to a refined numerical FEM analysis, showing good match.

위성용 카메라의 경우 광학계의 초점을 제어하기 위한 포커싱 메커니즘이 필수적이다. 그러나 국내의 위성용 광학계 포커싱 메커니즘 관련 연구는 시작 단계이며, 관련 보유 기술 또한 열제어형에 국한되어있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 소형위성용 광학계에 적용 가능한 모터 구동형 포커싱 메커니즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 메커니즘은 모터 구동에 의해 secondary mirror에 z축 변위를 발생시키도록 설계하였다. 또한 서포터에 flexure hinge를 설치하여 사전하중을 가하도록 하여 메커니즘내 부품간 제작공차 및 조립공차로 인한 정렬도 오차를 최소화하도록 하였다. 메커니즘 제작 후 LVDT 센서(linear variable differential transformer sensor)와 레이저 변위측정기로 정렬도(de-space, de-center, tilt)를 측정한 결과 소형위성광학계에 적용 가능한 수준의 정렬도를 갖는 것을 확인하였다.

The amount and configuration of transverse reinforcement are known as critical parameters that significantly affect the lateral confinement of concrete, the ductility capacity, and the plastic hinge length of RC columns. Based on test results, this study investigated the effect of the three variables on structural indexes such as neutral axis depth, lateral expansion of concrete, and ductility capacity. Five reinforced concrete column specimens were tested under cyclic flexure and shear while simultaneously subjected to a constant axial load. The columns were reinforced by two types of reinforcing steel: rectangular hoops and spiral type reinforcing bars. The variables in the test program were the shape, diameter, and yield strength of transverse reinforcement. The interactive influence of the amount of transverse reinforcement on the structural indexes was evaluated. Test results showed that when amounts of transverse reinforcement were similar, and yield strength of transverse reinforcement was 600 MPa or less, the neutral axis depth of a column with spiral type reinforcing bars was reduced by 28% compared with that of a column reinforced by existing rectangular hoops at peak strength. While the diagonal elements of spiral-type reinforcing bars significantly contributed to the lateral confinement of concrete, the strain of diagonal elements decreased with increases of their yield strength. It was confirmed that shapes of transverse reinforcement significantly affected the lateral confinement of concrete adjacent to plastic hinges. Transverse reinforcement with a yield strength exceeding 600 MPa, however, increased the neutral axis depth of normal-strength concrete columns at peak strength, resulting in reductions in ductility and energy dissipation capacity.

In this paper, we presents a robust control system design for compensating hysteresis of a piezoelectric actuator-based actuation unit. First, the dynamics between the input voltage and the output displacement of the actuation unit are unravelled via a non-parametric system identification method. From the dynamic characteristics of those experimental transfer functions, a parametric model is then derived, whose dynamics match those of the non-parametric ones under various conditions on input voltages. A robust controller is constructed on the basis of this parametric model in order not only to effectively compensate the hysteresis of the actuation unit but also to guarantee the robust stability. Extensive experiments show that the proposed robust control system successfully mitigate the effect of the hysteresis and improve the tracking capability of the actuation unit.

A displacement magnification mechanism is usually employed in a nano-positioning stage to achieve a large stage motion. A lever mechanism is the most widely used displacement magnifying mechanism. For more large stage motion, double or multiple lever mechanisms can be used. In this case, a more accurate analysis model is needed. This study proposes a more reasonable analysis model for a multiple lever mechanism based on the single lever mechanism model. This paper describes that the high equivalent stiffness of the lever is the most important factor reducing the magnification ratio of the lever mechanism through increasing the deflection of the link and including the axial displacement of the pivot.

Confocal scanning microscopy (CSM) is an important instrument in a wide variety of imaging applications because of its ability to provide three-dimensional images of thick, volume specimens. The mechanism for two-dimensional beam scanning and optical sectioning has an important roe in CSM as the three-dimensional profiler. This optical sectioning property arises from the use of a point detector, which serves to attenuate the signals from out-of-focus. The intensity profile for the open loop scanning should be matched with its response for the standard. The non-linearity can be minimized with the optical sectioning or the optical probe of the closed loop control. This paper shows the mathematical expression of the light such as the extinction curve in the optical fields of system using AO deflector, the axial/lateral response experimentally when the error sources change, and the methods of optical sectioning. Thorough design of optical sectioner is crucial to the success of CSM in the field ...

This paper presents the development of a micro gripper for grasping miniature sized parts in micro-assembly. Particularly, we have paid attention to the problem of manipulating objects of a well defined size range: the one between 1 mm and 0.1mm. In fact, objects larger than 1 mm can be easily handled by conventional precise grippers, while objects smaller than 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ can be manipulated with special tools like AFM or STM. In this range, we can distinguish between mechanical and biological objects. We have focused our gripping research on the micro mechanical objects. We started from a f degree of freedom planar configuration. The structure of the micro gripper was a type of the elastic flexure hinge and was fabricated in ...

The proposed lever actuator has no friction and mass balance characteristics in motion, which are adapt to high-speed and high-density optical disk system. This paper discussed about the theoretical analysis of the lever structure. The modeling of the lever actuator is found. Using the Newton's method, the motion of equation is deduced through the constraint equations and equilibrium equations in three directions (focusing, tracking and tilting). From the above analysis, we know that the shape of the hinge is the very important parameter on determining the performance of the lever actuator, and the actuator has the 2nd order system characteristics. And the first resonant frequency in transmissibility is dependent to the rigidity of the lever while the first transmissibility resonance of conventional actuators is dependent to the first natural resonance of those actuators. This means that the lever actuator is more stable to the external vibration.
