Viscoelastic (VE) dampers have shown to be capable of providing structures with considerable additional damping to reduce the dynamic response of structures. However, the VE material appears to be sensitive to the variations in ambient temperature and vibration frequency. To minimize these effects, a new VE material has been developed. This new material shows less sensitivity to variations in vibration frequency and temperature. However, it is highly dependent on the shear strain. Experimental studies on the seismic behavior of a 2/5 scale five-story steel frame with these new VE dampers have been carried out. Test results show that the structural response can be effectively reduced due to the added stiffness and damping provided by the new type of VE dampers under both mild and strong earthquake ground motions. In addition, analytical studies have been carried out to describe the strain-dependent behavior of the VE damper. The dynamic properties and hysteresis behavior of the dampers can be simulated by a simple bilinear model based on the equivalent dissipated energy principle proposed in this study.

Various types of dampers are widely adopted to reduce the seismic damages in bridges. However, dampers may be the improper solution especially in moderate seismic regions because dampers are costly for installation and require constant maintenance during life cycle. In this study, energy-dissipating sacrificial device is proposed, which sacrifices easily substitutable bridge members and dissipates the excessive energy during seismic excitations. In turns, the inelastic behavior of sacrificial members reduces the input energy of the major members, such as piers in bridges, and may prevent the major members from serious malfunction. A simplified mechanical model is developed to represent the behavior of sacrificial devices installed in a bridge. The hysteresis energy of piers is analyzed to certify performance of device under seismic loads applied to this mechanical model. The results from this study show that the proposed sacrificial energy-dissipating device can decrease excessive hysteresis energy and reduce the damage of piers under seismic excitation. Therefore, economical enhancement of the seismic performance of bridges may be possible by employing the proposed sacrificial energy-dissipating devices.

본 연구는 내진설계 되지 않은 학교시설물 중 다수를 차지하는 1980년도 표준설계 도면(건설부 공고 제130호, 1980년 10월 28일)에 의하여 건설된 국내에 현존하는 4층 모멘트 연성골조의 학교건물을 대상으로 이력모델의 특성과 지진파의 특성에 따라 표준학교건물의 비탄성지진거동을 분석하고자 한다. El-centro지진은 주파수 성분과 강진지속시간의 특성에 의하여 표준학교건물의 단변방향 층전단력, 층간변위비, 층변위 응답에 매우 큰 영향을 미치며 특히 수정다케다모델 선택시 응답의 차이가 매우 크게 나타남을 알 수 있다. 층전단력의 경우 최대 46%, 층간변위비의 경우 최대 70%, 층변위의 경우 최대 59%의 편차를 보인다. Santa Monica지진은 장변방향의 응답에서 이력모델별 편차가 더 크게 나타났으며, 층전단력은 최대 59%, 층간변위비는 최대 65%, 층변위는 최대 50%의 편차를 보였다. 이는 장변방향의 고유주기가 단변방향에 비하여 크기 때문에 1초이상의 주기성분이 많은 Santa Monica지진의 특성에 의한 것으로 판단된다. Taft지진은 이력모델에 따른 층간변위비와 층변위 응답의 편차가 가장 적은 것으로 나타났으며, 층간변위비는 최대 15%, 층변위는 최대 5%의 편차를 보여 변위응답에 있어서 이력모델에 가장 의존도가 적은 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 판단 된다.

This article presents a comparative study of the effect of steel layouts on the seismic behavior of transition steel-concrete composite connections, both experimental and analytical investigations of concrete filled steel tube-reinforced concrete (CFST-RC) and steel reinforecd concrete-reinforced concrete (SRC-RC) structures were conducted. The steel-concrete composite connections were subjected to combined constant axial load and lateral cyclic displacements. Tests were carried out on four full-scale connections extracted from a real project engineering with different levels of axial force. The effect of steel layouts on the mechanical behavior of the transition connections was evaluated by failure modes, hysteretic behavior, backbone curves, displacement ductility, energy dissipation capacity and stiffness degradation. Test results showed that different steel layouts led to significantly different failure modes. For CFST-RC transition specimens, the circular cracks of the concrete at the RC column base was followed by steel yielding at the bottom of the CFST column. While uncoordinated deformation could be observed between SRC and RC columns in SRC-RC transition specimens, the crushing and peeling damage of unconfined concrete at the SRC column base was more serious. The existences of I-shape steel and steel tube avoided the pinching phenomenon on the hysteresis curve, which was different from the hysteresis curve of the general reinforced concrete column. The hysteresis loops were spindle-shaped, indicating excellent seismic performance for these transition composite connections. The average values of equivalent viscous damping coefficients of the four specimens are 0.123, 0.186 and 0.304 corresponding to the yielding point, peak point and ultimate point, respectively. Those values demonstrate that the transition steel-concrete composite connections have great energy dissipating capacity. Based on the experimental research, a high-fidelity ABAQUS model was established to further study the influence of concrete strength, steel grade and longitudinal reinforcement ratio on the mechanical behavior of transition composite connections.

In this study, shape memory alloy damper with characteristics of pseudoelastic hysteresis for helicopter rotor blades are investigated. SMAs can be available in damping augmentation of vibrating structures. SMAs show large hysteresis in the process of pseudoelastic austenite-martensite phase transformation which takes place while subjected to loading above the austenite finish temperature. Since SMAs display pseudoelastic hysteresis behavior over large strain ranges, a significant amount of energy dissipation is possible. A damper can be designed with SMA wires prestressed to a baseline level somewhere in the middle of the pseudoelastic stress range. An experimental study of the effects of pre-strain and cyclic strain amplitude as well as frequency on the damping behavior of pseudoelastic shape memory alloy wires are performed. The effects of the shape memory alloy damper on aeroelastic and ground resonance stability of helicopter are studied. In aeroelastic stability, the dynamic characteristics of blades related to pitch angle and the amplitude of lag motion for the rotor equipped with SMA damper were examined. The performance of SMA damper on ground resonance instability are presented through the frequencies and modal damping with respect to rotating speed.

용융 폴리우레탄의 비 뉴톤 유동곡선을 Physica cone-plate 레오메타를 사용하여 여러 온도에서 구하였다. 이러한 유동 곡선을 이론적인 비 뉴톤 유동식에 적용하여 유동파라메타를 얻었다. 유동곡선에서 전단 속도를 증가시켰다가 감소시킬 때 hysteresis loop가 나타나며, 틱소트로피 유동 현상을 보인다. 용융 폴리우레탄은 전단 흐름에서는 강한 젤 현상을 보이나, 항복응력 이상에서는 비선형 점탄성 성질을 나타낸다. 전단속도를 감소시킬 때 구조변형이 일어나서 전단응력이 전단 속도 증가시보다 작은 값을 보이게 된다.

By harnessing the thermal hysteresis behavior of vanadium dioxide($VO_2$), we demonstrated multi-resistance states in a two-terminal electronic device based on a $VO_2$ thin film by using a 966nm infrared laser diode as an excitation light source for resistance modulation. Before stimulating the device using 966nm laser pulses, the thermal hysteresis behavior of the device resistance was measured by using a temperature chamber. After that, the $VO_2$ device was thermally biased at ${\sim}71.6^{\circ}C$ so that its temperature fell into the thermal hysteresis region of the device resistance. Six multi-states of the device resistance could be obtained in the fabricated $VO_2$ device by five successive laser pulses with equal 10ms duration and increasing power. Each resistance states were maintained while the temperature bias was applied. And, the resistance fluctuation level was within 2.2% of the stabilized resistance and decreased down to less than 0.9% of the stabilized resistance 5s after the illumination.

Ni/Cu 인공초격자의 계면에 얇은 NiFeCo와 NiFe층을 삽입시 Ni/Cu 인공초격자의 자기 저항 거동에 미치는 영향에 관해 연구하였다. NiFe층이 Ni/Cu 인공초격자의 계면에 삽입된 경우 6%의 자기저항과 50 Oe의 포화자장을 보였으며 이때의 자기저항곡선은 hysteresis를 거의 보이지 않았다. NiFeCo층이 삽입된 경우는 자기저항값은 7%를 보였으나 포화자장과 hysteresis가 많이 증가하였다. 교류자장원을 이용한 동적자기저항을 측정한 결과 bias 자장하에서 자기저항의 증가폭이 NiFe층을 삽입한 경우가 NiFeCo를 삽입한 경우보다 컸으며 이는 hysteresis가 작았기 때문으로 해석된다.

This paper proposed a new self-centering brace (SCB), which consists of four post-tensioned (PT) high strength steel strands and energy absorbing steel plate (EASP) clusters. First, analytical equations were derived to describe the working principle of the SCB. Then, to investigate the hysteretic performance of the SCB, four full-size specimens were manufactured and subjected to the same cyclic loading protocol. One additional specimen using only EASP clusters was also tested to highlight the contribution of PT strands. The test parameters varied in the testing process included the thickness of the EASP and the number of EASP in each cluster. Testing results shown that the SCB exhibited nearly flag-shape hysteresis up to expectation, including excellent recentering capability and satisfactory energy dissipating capacity. For all the specimens, the ratio of the recovered deformation is in the range of 89.6% to 92.1%, and the ratio of the height of the hysteresis loop to the yielding force is in the range of 0.47 to 0.77. Finally, in order to further understand the mechanism of the SCB and provide additional information to the testing results, the high-fidelity finite element (FE) models were established and the numerical results were compared against the experimental data. Good agreement between the experimental, numerical, and analytical results was observed, and the maximum difference is less than 12%. Parametric analysis was also carried out based on the validated FE model to evaluate the effect of some key parameters on the cyclic behavior of the SCB.
