Modal parameter identification has received much attention recently for their usefulness in earthquake engineering, damage detection and structural health monitoring. The identification method based on Matrix Pencil technique is adopted in this paper to identify structural modal parameters, such as natural frequencies, damping ratios and modal shapes using impulse vibration responses. This method can also be applied to dynamic responses induced by stationary and white-noise inputs since the auto- and cross-correlation function of the two outputs has the same form as the impulse response dynamic functions. Matrix Pencil method is very robust to noise contained in the measurement data. It has a lower variance of estimates of the parameters of interest than the Polynomial Method, and is also computationally more efficient. The numerical simulation results show that this technique can identify modal parameters accurately even if the noise level is high.

The dynamic interaction between tunnel structures and their surrounding soil medium due to impulse loading is investigated by a hybrid IEM/FEM methodology. A dynamic infinite element is developed for the efficient descretization of the far-field region of the unbounded soil medium. The shape functions of the infinite element are constructed based on the far-field solutions which are obtained by solving the 2-D elastic wave problems. Also they are devised to obtain a reasonable result over all frequency range. Numerical analysis is carried out to examine the response of the tunnel subjected to simple rectangular impulse. It is indicated that the results by the present method are in good accord with those by the boundary and finite element coupling method.

There are various methods to join mechanical structures together. They typically include welding, mechanical joints by bolts and other processes depending on specific needs. Analyses of joints in the mechanical structures are essential in understanding the dynamic characteristics of the structures. In this research an impulse technique is applies to investigate the dynamic behavior of joints produced by bolts. The length overlap in the joints was varied as the number of the bolts in the joins was changed. Also, the torque applied to the bolts were adjusted. Resonance frequencies were determined for the joints to evaluate the relationship between the increase in the applied torque and the increase in the number of bolts used in the joints. The results have demonstrated that the resonance frequencies of the joints increase with the increasing torque.

In this paper, we present a method of realizing an infinite impulse response (IIR) digital filter (DF)using linear delta modulation (LDM) as a simple analog/digital (A/D) converter. This method makes the realization of IIR digital filters much simpler than that of conventional ones because it does not require hardware multipliers and a pulse code modulation (PCM) A/D converter. Compared to the finite impulse respponse (FIR) LDMDF of Lee and Un [1] , this IIR LDMDF requires significantly less computation time.

This paper represents the development of national standard(NS) for switching impulse(SI) voltage measuring system rated 500 kV. A traceability of the NS to the international standard could be achieved by the intercomparison test with CSIRO of Australia. According to the IEC 60060-2, a measurement uncertainty was assessed. As a result of the tests, a measurement uncertainty and step response characteristics were satisfied with the requisite for NS.

The forced vibration analysis of the outer-clamped spinnig annular disk with arbitrary in-plane is formulated to investigate the influence of non-uniform tension on the cutting accuracy of wafer cutting machine. The arbitrary in-plan force along the outer edge of an annular plate is expressed as a Fourier series. Galerkin method and modal superposition method are employed to obtain the forced responses under the static force and the impulse force in astationary coordinate. Through qualitative and quantitative analyses, it can be found that forced and impulse responses are sensitive to the non-uniformity of in-plane force, which can bring a bad effect to the accuracy of wafer cutting process. Also, in case of a spinning disk with non-uniform in-plane force, critical speed is required to define in a different way, compared with conventional definition in axi-symmetrical spinning disk.

For CSLDV, the Chebyshev demodulation (or polynomial) technique and Hilbert transform approach have been used for mode shape reconstruction with harmonic excitation. In this paper, the Hilbert-Huang transform approach was applied as an alternative to impact excitation cases in terms of a numerical approach. The vibration of the tested structure is modeled using impulse response functions. In order to verify this technique, a simply supported beam was chosen as the test rig. With additional innovative steps which are the ideal-band pass filter and the nodal point determination, Hilbert-Huang transformation can be used for a good mode shape reconstruction even in the impact excitation case.

The present article evaluates a performance hall, which improves sound efficiency. In general, the sidewall of the music hall is plane circle. thus there happens a focus phenomenon. To overcome it. the music hall improves its sound efficiency by making its sidewall irregular. After measuring impulse response from the performance hall, evaluation indices on the temporal distribution of sound energy such as RT, EDT, D50, C80, RASTI and BR were obtained, and based on them, indoor acoustic characteristics and the generation of echoes were determined. According to the results, evaluation indices showed that the acoustic condition was satisfactory in general. This study is to provide fundamental data for acoustic design of music hall with round form by analyzing the room acoustic characteristics of music hall.

We describe the characteristic of LVI(Low-voltage Impulse) test system and methods to detect the deformation of windings in the power transformers. Any winding deformation will result in a change of capacitance between winding parts and possibly some change in the winding inductance. These changes will then result in a change in the responce to the applied pulse in both the magnitude and period of the resulting oscillations. A results of measured differential method in stead of typical method, the sensitivity is greatly improved by the use of differential methods where the pulse is applied to two identical windings and the response measured with a differential amplifier.

Dynamic response characteristics of a beam undergoing impulsive force are investigated using the wavelet transform method in this study. When an impulse is applied to an arbitrary position of a beam, it will generate a structural deformation wave. The characteristics of the wave are changing in the domain of time and space. The maximum amplitude of each natural frequency mode and the time to reach the maximum amplitude are obtained in this study. The effects of the location of impulse on the variations of the dynamic characteristics is also investigated.
