In this paper, SBN (Structure-Borne Noise) reduction of resiliently mounted machinery and effect of the foundation impedance on mount performance is studied. SBN reduction through the mount is analyzed by using two theoretical models; mass-spring model and wave model, in which longitudinal wave propagation is included. It is found that floor impedance greatly affects SBN reduction through lower mount, while it is almost negligible to SBN reduction through upper mount. Comparisons between measurement and predictions shows that the mass-spring model is valid only in low frequency range below few hundred Hz, while for high frequency ranges longitudinal wave propagation in the mount must be considered.

A distributed hydrologic model of an urban drainage area on Bugok drainage area in Oncheon stream was developed and combined with a optimization method to determine the optimal location and number of best management practices (BMPs) for storm water runoff reduction. This model is based on the SCS-CN method and integrated with a distributed hydrologic network model of the drainage area using system of 4,211 hydrologic response units (HRUs). Optimal location is found by locating HRU combination that leads to a maximum reduction in peak flow at the drainage outlet in this model. The results of this study indicate the optimal locations and numbers of BMPs, however, for more exact application of this model, project cost and SCS-CN reduction rate of structural facilities such infiltration trench and pervious pavement will have to be considered.

This papaer deals with a model reduction problem for linear systems with time varying parameters. For this problem, a controllability Grammian and an observability Grammian are introduced and computed by solving linear matrix inequalities. Using the controllability/observability Grammian, a balanced state space realization for linear parameter varying systems is obtained. From the balanced state space realization, a reduced model can be obtained by truncating not only states but also time varying parameters and an upper bound of the model reduction error is derived as well.

For the large reduction in tube cross section, the tube drawing process is usually performed by two successive passes, so called first drawing and second drawing. In multi-pass drawing process, the reduction balance is important to prevent drawing cracks. Therefore in this study, the model for uniform reduction distribution in two-pass drawing process has been developed on the basis of cross sectional variation of drawn tube. For the given product geometry the model provides optimal diameter and thickness that can evenly distribute drawing reductions. The capability of model is well confirmed by finite element analysis of tube drawing process. Criteria curves at various limit strains to determine whether the drawn tube would fail during drawing process are also proposed by using newly developed model.

We simulate the particle bed motions with combustion and reduction in steel making rotary kilns. The particle bed motions are simulated by a Lagrangian approach called Discrete Phase Model (DPM). To reduce the number of tracking particles, the Coarse Grain Model (CGM) was applied. The model for particle motions showed good agreements with experimental results. In addition to the particle motion, the combustion and reduction simulation was performed. The combustion and reduction simulation can consider heat, mass and momentum transfer between the gas phase and particle beds.

This paper examined electric power transmission line models of reducing ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) magnetic field and analyzed the effects about models. In this research, FRF(Field Reduction Factor) of various models reducing magnetic field were analyzed compared to the horizontal 154 kV transmission line. As a result, the reduction ratio of magnetic field was almost proportioned to the compaction of phase-to-phase distance, and in case of diamond model and transposed model, magnetic field was able to be reduced nearly 50 %. It was analyzed that the magnetic field reduction ratio of triangle model was about 33 % and the magnetic field reduction ratio of split model was able to be reduced to 50 %. Especially, the magnetic field reduction ratio of multi split model could be reduced to 80 %.

Post-kyoto regime has been discussing with the GHG reduction commitment. GHG energy target management system also has been applied for the domestic measures in the country. Universities are major emission sources for GHG. It is very important for campus to built the GHG inventory system and estimate the potential GHG emission reduction. In general, GHG inventory on the campus was taken by the IPCC guidance with the classification of scope 1, 2, and 3. Electricity was the highest portion of GHG emission on the campus as 5,053.90 $tonsCO_2eq/yr$ in 2009. Manufacturing sector was the second high emission and meant GHG in laboratory. Potential GHG reduction was planned by several assumptions such as installation of occupancy sensor, exchanging LED lamp and photovoltaic power generation. These reduction scenarios was simulated by LEAP model. In 2020, outlook of GHG emission was estimated by 17,435.98 tons of $CO_2$ without any plans of reduction. If the reduction scenarios was applied in 2020, GHG emission would be 16,507.60 tons of $CO_2$ as 5.3% potential reduction.

A method of weight evaluation of the load-bearing structural elements of cars is presented and the weight ratio of the analysis model is investigated. Replacing the materials of floor elements of the car into the high-strength steel, a considerable weight-reduction of the model has been obtained. The 1500cc model is selected for the present study and the stick model analysis is employed for the structural analysis. The torsional stiffness of the weight-reduced model is also evaluated and it is shown it has a reasonable rigidity. The ratio of the weight of the load-bearing structural elements to the unladen vehicle weight of cars is about 0.12for the 1500cc model and the weight-reduction of this study can be obtained around 17% of the weight of the load-bearing structural elements.

Shaking table test is an important and useful method to help structural engineers get better knowledge about the seismic performance of the buildings with complex structure, just like Shanghai tower. According to Chinese seismic design guidelines, buildings with a very complex and special structural system, or whose height is far beyond the limitation of interrelated codes, should be firstly studied through the experiment on seismic behavior. To investigate the structural response, the weak storey and crack pattern under earthquakes of different levels, and to help the designers improve the design scheme, the shaking table model tests of a scaled model of Shanghai tower were carried out at the State Key Laboratory of Disaster Reduction in Civil Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai, China. This paper describes briefly the structural system, the design method and manufacture process of the scaled model, and the test results as well.

This paper focuses on a model order reduction (MOR) for large-scale rotordynamic systems by using finite element discretization. Typical rotor-bearing systems consist of a rotor, built-on parts, and a support system. These systems require careful consideration in their dynamic analysis modeling because they include unsymmetrical stiffness, localized nonproportional damping, and frequency-dependent gyroscopic effects. Because of this complex geometry, the finite element model under consideration may have a very large number of degrees of freedom. Thus, the repeated dynamic analyses used to investigate the critical speeds, stability, and unbalanced response are computationally very expensive to complete within a practical design cycle. In this study, we demonstrate that a Krylov subspace-based MOR via moment matching significantly speeds up the rotordynamic analyses needed to check the whirling frequencies and critical speeds of large rotor systems. This approach is very efficient, because it is possible to repeat the dynamic simulation with the help of a reduced system by changing the operating rotational speed, which can be preserved as a parameter in the process of model reduction. Two examples of rotordynamic systems show that the suggested MOR provides a significant reduction in computational cost for a Campbell diagram analysis, while maintaining accuracy comparable to that of the original systems.
