Conventional tuned mass dampers are located on the top floor of tall buildings, which reduce the fundamental mode response of buildings. Higher modes may have a greater contribution toward the acceleration response of tall buildings. To reduce this, additional tuned mass dampers are required and could be substituted as building equipments. This paper shows, with a numerical ezample, how the lecate tuned mass damper in order to reduce the higher mode response effectively

본 연구에서는 현장 측정과 유한요소 해석을 이용하여 기존 아파트 바닥의 수직진동 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 평가에 사용된 기준은 ATC-1(1999) 기준과 AISC-11(1997) 기준, 그리고 일본건축학회 기준(1991)이며, 우리나라 사람의 감성을 고려하기 위해 선행연구에서 수행된 인지실험으로 제안된 인지곡선(2003)을 함께 사용하였다. 뒤꿈치 충격하중(heel drop)과 보행하중(walking)을 이용한 현장 측정으로 바닥판의 동특성을 파악하고 최대가속도값을 측정하여 이를 기준과 비교하였다. 대상 바닥판의 동특성은 고유진동수가 17Hz~22Hz이고, 감쇠비는 3~4%이다. 수직진동 성능 평가에 앞서 현행 기준의 최소두께 기준과 대상 바닥판의 두께를 비교 검토한 결과 기준의 최소값은 만족하나, 단부 슬래브에 대한 10% 증대 항목을 적용하면 만족하지 않았다. 대상 바닥의 보행하중에 대한 최대가속도값은 모두 ATC-1(1999) 및 AISC-11(1997) 기준과 일본건축학회 기준(1991)을 만족하지 못하였고, 뒤꿈치 충격하중에 대한 최대가속도값은 64RC-L만 일본건축학회 기준(1991)의 제한값에 근접하며 만족하였다. 우리나라 사람의 감성이 고려된 인지곡선(2003)과의 비교 결과 보행하중과 뒤꿈치 충격하중에 대한 대상 바닥판의 최대가속도값은 모두 '약하게 인지' 수준과 '인지하지 못함' 수준에 사이에 분포하고 있어, '인지하지 못함'을 인지의 하한선으로 본다면 대상 바닥판에서는 모두 진동을 인지하게 된다. 또한 유한요소 해석으로 구한 1KN의 정적 집중하중에 대한 처짐은 모두 1mm 미만으로 10Hz 이상의 고유진동수를 갖는 바닥판에 대하여 고려하도록 하는 ATC-1(1999) 및 AISC-11(1997)의 최소 강성 기준은 만족함을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to introduce a method of obtaining the oscillation graphs of the dental x-ray tube heads relative to time using an accelerometer. Materials and Methods: An Accelerometer, Piezotron type 8704B25 (Kistler Instrument Co., Amherst, NY, USA) was utilized to measure the horizontal oscillation of the x-ray tube head immediately after positioning the tube head for an intraoral radiograph. The signal from the sensor was transferred to a dynamic signal analyzer, which displayed the magnitude of the acceleration on the Y-axis and time lapse on the X -axis. The horizontal oscillation of the tube head was measured relative to time, and the settling time was also determined on the basis of the acceleration graphs for 6 wall type, 5 floor-fixed type, and 4 mobile type dental x-ray machines. Results : The oscillation graphs showed that tube head movement decreased rapidly over time. The settling time varied with x-ray machine types. Wall-type x-ray machines had a settling time of up to 6 seconds, 5 seconds for fixed floor-types, and 1 I seconds for the mobile-types. Conclusion: Using an accelerometer, we obtained the oscillation graphs of the dental x-ray tube head relative to time. The oscillation graph with time can guide the operator to decide upon the optimum exposure moment after x-ray tube head positioning for better radiographic resolution.

The Expo Culture Centre is one of the permanent buildings at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai, China. The main structure has an oval shape and consists of 36 radial cantilever steel trusses with different lengths and inner frames made of concrete-filled rectangular steel tube members. Tuned mass dampers are used to reduce the excessive vibrations of the sixth floor that are caused by human-induced resonance. A three-dimensional analytical model of the system is developed, and its main characteristics are established. A series of field tests are performed on the structure, and the test results show that the vertical vibration frequencies of most structural cantilevers are between 2.5 Hz and 3.5 Hz, which falls in the range of human-induced vibration. Twelve pairs of tuned mass dampers weighing 115 tons total were installed in the structure to suppress the vibration response of the system. These mass dampers were tuned to the vertical vibration frequency of the structure, which had the highest possibility of excitation. Test data obtained after the installation of the tuned mass dampers are used to evaluate their effectiveness for the reduction of the vibration acceleration. An analytical model of the structure is calibrated according to the measured dynamic characteristics. An analysis of the modified model is performed and the results show that when people walk normally, the structural vibration was low and the tuned mass dampers have no effect, but when people run at the structural vibration frequency, the tuned mass dampers can reduce the floor vibration acceleration by approximately 15%.

A set of mid-rise bare and uniformly infilled reinforced-concrete frame buildings are analyzed for two different seismic intensities of ground-motions (i.e., 'Design Basis Earthquake' and 'Maximum Considered Earthquake') to study their floor response. The crucial parameters affecting seismic design force for acceleration-sensitive non-structural components are studied and compared with the guidelines of the European and the United States standards, and also with the recently developed NIST provisions. It is observed that the provisions of both the European and the United States standards do not account for the effects of the period of vibration of the supporting structure and seismic intensity of ground-motions and thereby provides conservative estimates of the in-structure amplification. In case of bare frames, the herein derived component amplification factors for both the design basis earthquake and the maximum considered earthquake exceeds with their recommended values in the European and the United States standards for non-structural components having periods in vicinity of the higher modes of vibration, whereas, in case of infilled frames, component amplification factors exceeds with their recommended value in the European standard for non-structural components having periods in vicinity of the fundamental mode of vibration, and only for the design basis earthquake. As a consequence of these observations, as well as capping on the design force (in case of United states standard and NIST provisions), in case of the design basis earthquake, the combined amplification factor is underestimated for non-structural components having periods in vicinity of the higher modes of vibration of bare frames, and also for non-structural components having periods in vicinity of the fundamental mode of vibration of infilled frames. At the maximum considered earthquake demand, excepting non-structural components having periods in vicinity of the higher modes of vibration of bare frames, all provisions generally provide conservative estimates of the design floor accelerations.

Extraordinarily the establishment of towing tank has been initiated after the allocation of space at the basement floor of existing building through remodeling procedure. Therefore the asymmetric tank should be unavoidably determined by compromising with the allowable space and existing building structure. Consequently the shape of towing carriage ought to be selected as a cantilever type to match with the given environmental conditions. Finally the major role of the towing tank has been configured on the fundamental research work for the high speed marine vehicles. Due to the limited length of towing tank, it is appeared that the carriage should accelerated with 1.2m/sec² which is equivalent to twice of the maximum acceleration in ordinary practices on design application of carriage. In such a condition the exerted total power of motor could not be converted to traction force of the carriage without slip for the acceleration. To overcome these difficulties the contact pressure of a horizontal traction wheel to rail has been reinforced by the elastic recovery force of springs on supporting rollers. It is believed that the design experience of the high speed towing carriage under unusual circumferential condition and acceleration barrier could be utilized not only on the design of high speed towing carriage but also on the improvement of existing facilities.

Seismic performance analysis is one of the fundamental steps in the design of new or retrofitting buildings. In the seismic performance analysis, the adapted spectral acceleration curve for a given site mainly governs the seismic behavior of buildings. Since every soil site (class) has a different impact on the spectral accelerations of input motions, different spectral acceleration curves have to be involved for every soil class that the building is located on top of. Modern seismic design codes (e.g., Eurocode 8, EC8, or Turkish Building Earthquake Code, TBEC) provide design response spectra for all the soil classes to be used in the building design or retrofitting. This research aims to evaluate the EC8 and TBEC based design response spectra using the spectra of real earthquake input motions that occurred (and were recorded at only soil classes A, B and C, no recording is available at soil class D) in a specific area in Turkey. It also conducts response spectrum analyses of 5, 10 and 13 floor reinforced concrete building models under EC8, TBEC and actual spectral response curves. The results indicate that the EC8 and especially TBEC given design response spectra cannot be able to represent the mean actual spectral acceleration curves at soil classes A, B and C. This is particularly observed at periods higher than 0.3 s, 0.42 s and 0.55 s for the TBEC design response spectra, 0.54 s, 0.65 s and 0.84 s for the EC8 design response spectra at soil classes A, B and C, respectively. This is also reflected to the shear forces of three building models, as actual spectral acceleration curves lead to the highest shear forces, followed by the shear forces obtained from EC8 and, then, the TBEC design response spectra.

본 논문은 철근 콘크리트(RC) 격자보위에 설치된 access floor 에 발생하는 진동 중 수평방향 진동을 제어하기 위해 정밀 스프링 댐퍼를 이용한 실험을 이용한 실험을 통하여 수평진동 방진 시스템을 개발하였고, 대상 구조물의 진동해석을 위한 모델링과 그에 따른 해석을 수행하였다. 설계된 스프링 댐버 시스템의 방진효과를 알아보기 위하여 모형구조물에 댐퍼를 설치하지 않은 경우, 설피시 댐버를 pedestal과 pedestal에 연결하여 설치한 경우 그리고 pedestal과 격자보에 연결하여 설치한 경우로 나누어 실험을 실시하였다. 각각의 경우에 대해 충격 가진 및 외부 진동을 가해 슬래브와 access floor에서의 가속도 응답을 측정하였다. 실험결과 댐퍼를 설치한 경우에 공진 응답은 댐퍼가 없는 경우에 비해 응답크기가 감소하고, 공진 최대치도 부분적으로 저진동수 대역으로 이동하는 경향으로 나타났다. 또한 저진동수 대역에서 보다는 고진동수 대역에서 가속도 성분의 감소가 크게 나타나고 있고, 특히 외부 진동에 대해서는 상당한 효과가 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 대상 구조물의 진동해석을 유한요소법에 의해 실시 하였으며 해석을 통해서도 스프링 댐퍼 시스템의 방진효과를 확인할 수 있었고, 실험과 해석의 결과가 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 정밀 방.제진 시스템 및 미진동 제어 콘크리트 구조물 설계를 위해 유용하게 이용될 수 있으리라 판단된다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of gait patterns and muscle activations with increased loads during stair walking. Also, it can be used as descriptive data about continuous stair walking in a real life setting. Method : Twelve sedentary young male adults(Age: $27.0{\pm}1.8yrs$, Weight: $65.8{\pm}9.9kg$) without any lower extremity injuries participated in this study. Participants performed stair walking up 7 floors and their ascending and descending motion on each floor was analyzed. A wireless electromyography(EMG) were attached on the Rectus Femoris(RF), Biceps Femoris(BF), Gastrocnemius(GN), Tibialis Anterior(TA) muscle to calculate integrated EMG(iEMG), median frequency(MDF) and co-contraction index(CI). Chest and left heel accelerometer signal were recorded by wireless accelerometer and those were used to calculate approximate entropy(ApEn) for analyzing gait pattern. All analyses were performed with SPSS 21.0 and for repeated measured ANOVA and Post-hoc was LSD. Results : During ascending stairs, there were a statistically significant difference in Walking time between 1-2nd and other floors(p=.000), GN iEMG between 2-3th and 6-7th(p=.043) floor, TA MDF between 1-2nd and 5-6th(p=.030), 6-7th(p=.015) floor and TA/GN CI between 2-3th and 6-7th(p=.038) floor and ApEn between 1-2nd and 6-7th(x: p=.003, y: p=.005, z: p=.006) floor. During descending stairs, there were a statistically significant difference in TA iEMG between the 6-5th and 3-2nd(p=.026) floor, and for the ApEn between the 1-2nd and 6-7th(x: p=.037, y: p=.000, z: p=.000) floor. Conclusion : Subjects showed more regular pattern and muscle activation response caused by regularity during ascending stairs. Regularity during the first part of stair-descending could be a sign of adaptation; however, complexity during the second part could be a strategy to decrease the impact.
