We present a piezoelectric energy harvester with stopper-engaged dynamic magnifier which is capable of significantly increasing the operating bandwidth and the energy (power) harvested from a broad range of low frequency vibrations (<30 Hz). It uses a mass-loaded polymer beam (primary spring-mass system) that works as a dynamic magnifier for another mass-loaded piezoelectric beam (secondary spring-mass system) clamped on primary mass, constituting a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) system. Use of polymer (polycarbonate) as the primary beam allows the harvester not only to respond to low frequency vibrations but also generates high impulsive force while the primary mass engages the base stopper. Upon excitation, the dynamic magnifier causes mechanical impact on the base stopper and transfers a secondary shock (in the form of impulsive force) to the energy harvesting element resulting in an increased strain in it and triggers nonlinear frequency up-conversion mechanism. Therefore, it generates almost four times larger average power and exhibits over 250% wider half-power bandwidth than those of its conventional 2-DOF counterpart (without stopper). Experimental results indicate that the proposed device is highly applicable to vibration energy harvesting in automobiles.

The objective of this study is to investigate the response delays between piezo-stack actuator and the displacement magnifier of jetting dispenser and to reduce its falling time in terms of displacement optimization. The dispenser is driven by the dual piezo-stack actuators with a hinge lever mechanism to precisely control flow rate of the working fluid (3000 cP). It is commonly found that piezo actuator-driven jetting dispensers involving viscous working fluids have displacement optimization problem for ideal performance. The response delay of the system is caused by the phenomenon that the displacement magnifier cannot exactly follow the motion of the piezo actuators. The response delay may lower the performance of the system due to the inaccurate discharge of working fluid or even damages to the system itself due to inharmonious motion of piezo actuators with lever system. To reduce its response delay, a new displacement profile obtained from displacement optimization is suggested; its performance is tested through finite element analysis; and experiments are carried out to verify the performance of the obtained displacement profile.

Numerical studies were carried out to develop the moment magnifier method for long-term behavior of flat plates, subjected to combined in-plane compressive and transverse loads. Nonlinear finite element analyses were performed for the numerical studies. Through the numerical studies, the long term behavior of the flat plate subjected to uniform or nonuniform floor load was investigated, and creep effects on the degradation of strength and stiffness of the slabs were examined. As the result, the creep factor was developed to epitomizes with creep effect on the flat plate. The moment magnifier method using the creep factor was developed for long-term behavior of flat plates. Also, the design examples are shown for verification of proposed design method.

This paper presents a design procedure using the moment magnifier method that is applicable to RC flat plates subjected to combined axial compressive and uniform or non-uniform floor load. Based on the numerical results, the design values of the buckling coefficient and the effective flexural rigidity, that define the buckling force, have been proposed. Using these design values, this paper provides the design procedure for the moment magnifier method.

In this paper, the principle of devices which can magnify images without distorting the images is described. When the device is put on a smart phones, viewers can see the magnified images. Magnified images can be few 100 times bigger than the original images. Therefore, viewers can see movie theater size images with the device put on a smart phone. Two different schemes are explained in the paper and one realization of the device is presented. The device can be used in many different application areas.

면외 바닥하중과 면내 압축력을 받는 플랫플레이트 슬래브에 적용할 수 있는 모멘트증대법을 개발하기 위하여 수치해석연구를 실시하였다. 수치해석연구를 위하여 재료와 기하학적 비선형효과를 고려한 비선형 유한요서 해석프로그램을 개발하였으며, 해석모델로서 국내 철근콘크리트계산규준의 직접설계법에 의하여 설계된 플랫플레이트 슬래브를 사용하였다. 본 연구는 지배하중조건인 수직하중후 1축압축력의 조합하중을 받는 슬래브에 대한 좌굴하중과 모멘트증대계수를 제안하였다. 좌굴하중은 두 개의 요소, 즉 슬래브의 기하학적 형태의 영향을 나타내는 좌굴계수와 압축과 인장 균열에 의한 손상정도를 나타내는 유효휨강성으로 정의된다. 변수연구를 통하여 좌굴계수와 유효휨강성의 변화를 연구하였으며, 이 수치해석결과를 바탕으로 좌굴계수와 유효휨강성의 설계값과, 이를 사용하는 모멘트증대법을 제안하였다.

The American Concrete Institute (ACI) 318-11 permits the use of the moment magnifier method for computing the design ultimate strength of slender reinforced concrete columns that are part of braced frames. This computed strength is influenced by the column effective length factor K, the equivalent uniform bending moment diagram factor $C_m$ and the effective flexural stiffness EI among other factors. For this study, 2,960 simple braced frames subjected to short-term loads were simulated to investigate the effect of using different methods of calculating the effective length factor K when computing the strength of columns in these frames. The theoretically computed column ultimate strengths were compared to the ultimate strengths of the same columns computed from the ACI moment magnifier method using different combinations of equations for K and EI. This study shows that for computing the column ultimate strength, the current practice of using the Jackson-Moreland Alignment Chart is the most accurate method for determining the effective length factor. The study also shows that for computing the column ultimate strength, the accuracy of the moment magnifier method can be further improved by replacing the current ACI equation for EI with a nonlinear equation for EI that includes variables affecting the column stiffness and proposed in an earlier investigation.

기둥의 축력-모멘트-곡률곡선으로 결정된 등가강성을 이용하여 P-${\Delta}$- 해석을 수행하는 방법은 횡화중을 받는 철근콘크리트 장주의 극한지지력을 비교적 정확하게 예측할 수 있으나 실무설계에 이용하기에는 복잡한 방법이다. 보다 효율적인 해석과정을 위하여 시방서상 사용가능한 기둥단면에 대한 축력-모멘트-곡률곡선과 이에 따른 등가강성을 구하고, 이를 간편하게 계산할 수 있는 등가강성식을 제안하였다. 제안된 강성식을 P-${\Delta}$ 해석법과 모멘트확대법에 적용하여 실험치와 비교하여 해석의 정확도를 확인하였다. 횡하중을 받는 철근콘크리트장주의 설계시 제안된 강성식을 입력자료로 이용한다면 좀더 간편하게 P-${\Delta}$ 해석을 수행할 수 있을 것이며, 시방서에서 규정된 모멘트확대법의 기둥강성식 대신 사용한다면 모멘트확대법의 정확도를 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다.
