제논의 공간적인 진동은 원자로의 운전에 지장을 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 가압경수로에서의 제논에 의한 불안정성을 분석하기 위하여, 보다 일반적이고 다중입력/다중출력 계통에 적합한 일반화된 Nyquist조건을 사용하는 진동수위주의 기술을 적용하였다. 또한 모드전개 방법에 의하여 선형화된 중성자속을 구했다. 이 모형으로 출력 준위, 제어봉 위치, 그리고 평균 노심 연소도둥의 노물리 변수의 변화에 따른 영광 1호기의 제논에 대한 축방향 안정성을 조사하였다. 결과로는, 출력 준위의 증가나 제어봉 삽입의 증가는 안정성을 저해하는 효과를 가져오고, 연소도가 증가할 수록 불안정한 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents a study based on the damage due to the fatigue life of thrust ball bearings using vibratory analysis. The main contribution of this work lies in establishing a relation between modal damping and the rolling contact fatigue damage of the thrust ball bearing. Time domain signals and frequency spectra are extracted from both static and dynamic experiments. The first part of this research consists in measuring the damping of damaged thrust ball bearings using impact hammer characterization tests. In a second part, indented components representing spalled bearings are studied to determine the evolution of damping values in real-time vibration spectra using the random decrement method. Dynamic results, in good agreement with static tests, show that damping varies depending on the component's damage state. Therefore, the method detailed in this work will offer a possible technique to estimate the thrust ball bearing fatigue damage variation in presence of spalling.

In this study, a wavelet-based covariance-driven system identification technique is proposed for damage assessment of structures under ambient excitation. Assuming the ambient excitation to be a white-noise process, the covariance computation is shown to be able to separate the effect of random excitation from the response measurement. Wavelet transform (WT) is then used to convert the covariance response in the time domain to the WT magnitude plot in the time-scale plane. The wavelet coefficients along the curves where energy concentrated are extracted and used to estimate the modal properties of the structure. These modal property estimations lead to the calculation of the stiffness matrix when either the spectral density of the random loading or the mass matrix is given. The predicted stiffness matrix hence provides a direct assessment on the possible location and severity of damage which results in stiffness alteration. To demonstrate the proposed wavelet-based damage assessment technique, a numerical example on a 3 degree-of-freedom (DOF) system and an experimental study on a three-story building model, which are all under a broad-band excitation, are presented. Both numerical and experimental results illustrate that the proposed technique can provide an accurate assessment on the damage location. It is however noted that the assessment of damage severity is not as accurate, which might be due to the errors associated with the mode shape estimations as well as the assumption of proportional damping adopted in the formulation.

지면파는 해저면 음속이 깊이에 따라 일정할 경우 해저면 음속으로 진행하는 음파로 일반적으로 모드분산으로부터 설명된다. 모드분산은 도파관의 기하학적 구조에 의한 음파의 반사 및 굴절에 의해 발생되므로 본 논문에서는 지면파를 음선이론에 기초하여 모의하였다. 지면파는 일련의 선두파들의 조합으로써 해석될 수 있으므로 [Choi와 Dahl, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 119, 3660-3668 (2006)], 음선 접근법을 이용하여 시간영역에서 여러 경로로 전파되는 선두파들의 채널 임펄스 응답과 선두파 신호의 컨볼루션을 취하여 지면파를 모의한다. 모의된 지면파는 광대역 시간영역 포물선 방정식 기법을 이용하여 모의된 지면파와 비교, 검증된다.

다자유도를 가진 구조계로 부터 얻어진 동적거동의 측정치를 이용하여 구조물의 모우드계수를 추정하는 시간영역방법에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위해 운동방정식을 실험적 모우드식으로 변환한 다음 이를 다시 이산시간 영역의 식인 ARMAX식으로 나타내었다. 순차적 예측 오차 방법을 이용하여 ARMAX식의 계수들을 추정한 후, 이들로 부터 구조물의 모우드 계수들을 계산하였다. 지진하중을 받는 3층 빌딩 구조물의 실험치를 이용하여 얻은 모우드 계수들은 서로 다른 실험간에 좋은 일치를 보였으며, 또한 계산된 계수들을 이용하여 다시 구한 구조물 응답의 시간이력들은 실험치들과 좋은 일치를 보였다.

Vibration isolators and anti-vibration mounts are ideal, for example, in creating floating floors for gymnasiums, or performance spaces. However, it is well-known that there are great difficulties on isolating vibration transmission in structural steel components, especially steel floors. Besides, the selection of inertia blocks, which are usually used by engineers as an effective vibration control measure, is usually based on crude methods or the experience of the engineers. Thus, no simple method or indices have been available for assessing the effect of inertia blocks on vibration isolation or stability of vibratory systems. Thus, the aims of this research are to provide further background description using a FE model and present and implement a modal approach, that was validated experimentally, the latter assisting in providing improved understanding of the vibration transmission phenomenon in steel buildings excited by a velocity-source type of excitation. A better visualization of the mean-square velocity distribution in the frequency domain is presented using the concept of modal expansion. Finally, the variation of the mean-square velocity with frequency, whilst varying mass and/or stiffness of the coupled system, is presented.

In this study, a frequency domain model updating method is presented using power spectral density (PSD) data. It uses the sensitivity of PSD function with respect to the unknown structural parameters through a decomposed form of transfer function. The stiffness parameters are captured with high accuracy through solving the sensitivity equations utilizing the least square approach. Using numerically noise polluted data, the model updating results of a truss model prove robustness of the method against measurement and mass modelling errors. Results prove the capabilities of the method for parameter estimation using highly noise polluted data of low ranges of excitation frequency.

In this paper we present an overview of the factors and techniques that must be considered in vibration measurements in the floor structures for microelectronics facilities. Normally narrowband vibration spectrum or equivalent signals are suggested as the guide indexes of site vibration phenomina. But it cannot support perfect informations in designing vibration control systems for the vibration sensitive equipment even though the spectrum serves to illustrate the fact that most real vibration environments are dominated by broadband energy as opposed to tonal energy. The major topics cover stiffness in frequency and time domain, acceleration level and modal characteristics from experimental modal analysis as well as narrowband spectrum. The combined signal analysis through the items mentioned above can give better solutions and would be positively recomended to solve the vibration problems on a sort of limited field.

Evaluation of fatigue strength considering the springing effect of very large container ships is crucial in the design stage. In this study, we established a fatigue strength evaluation method considering a linear springing component in the frequency domain. Based on a three-dimensional global model, a fluid-structure interaction analysis was performed and the modal superposition method was applied to determine the hot spot stress at the hatch corner of very large container ships. Fatigue damage was directly estimated using the stress transfer function with a linear springing response. Furthermore, we proposed a new methodology to apply the springing effect to fatigue damage using hull girder loads. Subsequently, we estimated the fatigue damage contribution due to linear springing components along the ship length. Finally, we discussed the practical application of the proposed methods.

This work presents the feasibility of shunt damping far vibration suppression of the rotating HDD disk-spindle system using piezoelectric bimorph. A target vibration mode which significantly restricts the recording density increment of the drive is determined through modal analysis and a piezoelectric bimorph is designed to suppress unwanted vibration. After deriving the two-dimensional generalized electromechanical coupling coefficient of the shunted drive, the shunt damping of the system is predicted by simulating the displacement transmissibility using the coefficient. In addition, optimal design process using sensitivity analysis is undertaken in order to improve the shunt damping of the system. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is verified through experimental implementation by observing the vibration characteristics of the rotating disk-spindle system in frequency domain.
