In order to suppress the structural vibration more effectively, Multiple Tuned Mass Damper(MTMD) which is composed of a number of Tuned Mass Damper(TMD) can be used. Especially, the passive MTMD has several advantages over active TMD like easy installment and maintenance, cost and performance for power failure situation(severe damage of power lines from earthquake), etc.. For this purpose the mass and damping ratio of MTMD and the distributed frequency range which shows the range of MTMD's distribution are used as main design parameters. When the passive MTMD is constituted with multiple cantilevers, the facility in its real production and its need for only a smaller space can be named as its several advantages. In this study, the satisfactory results were obtained from the composition of MTMD utilizing dynamic characters of cantilevers, and the verification was done by the comparison of the analysis from MTMD with the computer simulation.

In this paper we deal with a design of the integral sliding mode controller to suppress the disturbance force acting on the suspension system of the magnetically levitated train system. One of the important factors that cause the disturbance force acting on the suspension system comes from the low propulsion speed of linear induction motor. In this paper integral sliding mode controller is employed to reject the disturbance force produced by the propulsion system of the linear induction motor. In order to show the effectiveness of the designed controller a dynamic simulation is utilized and the sliding mode controller without integral compensator is compared with the proposed integral sliding mode controller to suppress the disturbance force.

We present the design of an EMI filter to mitigate the electrical noise from the power supply over a broadband of a few tens of KHz to 18GHz. Admitting that our approach is not apart from the standard technology of EMI filter, it is worth checking out how we can implement the filter that meets the challenging spec. on band of operation. The function of the EMI filter is well-depicted by its performance on the CE(Conducted Emission) and RE(Radiated Emission) suppression through tests which convince us of its application to power supplies of land, water and flying vehicles.

Eigenvalues are taken as performance criteria for structural damping design using viscoelastic material. Given material properties, optimal distribution of damping material is sought based on eigenvalue sensitivity. For eigenanalysis of frequency dependent viscoelastic material treated structures, Golla-Mushes-McTavish (GHM) model is used and some dominant modes are chosen for consideration. To avoid the intensity of computation caused by increased problem size, an alternative approximate method is proposed which uses elastic modes and can be applied under small damping assumption. A cantilever beam treated with unconstrained viscoelastic layer is tested and optimal distribution of thickness of the layer is illustrated. Partial coverage configurations are compared with the one-sided full coverage case.

Performance evaluation of advanced piezoelectric composite actuator is conducted with its application of structural vibration control. Characteristics of MFC (macro fiber composite) actuator are investigated by comparing traditional piezoceramic patch actuator. Finite element modeling is used to obtain equations of motion and boundary effects of smart hull structure with MFC actuator. Dynamic characteristics of the smart hull structure are studied through modal analysis and experimental investigation. LQG control algorithm is employed to investigate active damping of hull structure. It is observed that vibration of hull structure is suppressed effectively by the MFC actuators.

This paper is concerned with the experimental research of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). The modulus of the MR elastomers can be controlled by an applied magnet field, so that it can be effectively used for vibration suppression applications. The MR elastomer in this experiment is a mixture of KE-1300 silicone, carbonyl iron powder (300mesh) and a silicone hardener (CAT-1300). Three specimens were manufactured and tested by using the vibration testing instruments. The magnetic field was generated by the permanent magnets. The experimental results show that the natural frequencies of the test article with MR elastomer changes by the applied magnetic field. The performance of the MR elastomer can be increased by stronger magnetic fields. This is under investigation.

The potential ability of the Applebaum type adaptive array to suppress the multipath signals is examined. The output Signal-to-Noise Ratio is expressed in terms of (1) the input SNR. (2) relative multipath signal amplitude, and (3) ambient noise when a multipath component is present Computer simulation is done on several performance measures to learn that the performance of the array depends upon the magnitude and the phase of the correlation coefficient. It is also shown that the performance is maximized when the phase of the correlation coefficient is zero degree.

In this study, a speech enhancement is presented based on the utilization of well-known auditory mechanism, noise masking. The speech enhancement approach adopted here is to derive an modifier that achieves audible noise suppression. This modification selectively affects the perceptually significant spectral values, and is therefore less prone to introduction of unwanted distortions than methods that affect the complete STSA and produces more enhanced results at low SNR as well as at high SNR. The speech enhancement method adopted here needs exact estimation of the minimum specteal value per critical band because it uses only the minimum spectral value per critical band. For this, the method adopted here uses the modified spectral subtraction that is more flexible than power spectral subtraction. So, the result in experiment represented better SNR than before.

The proposed differential LC cross-coupled VCO is implemented in InGap/GaAs HBT process for an adaptive Global Positioning system(GPS) application. Two filtering capacitors are used at the base of output buffer amplifiers at the both sides of the core m order to improve phase noise characteristics. The VCO produced a phase noise of -133 dBc/Hz at 3MHz offset frequency from the carrier frequency of 1.489GHz and the second harmonic suppression is significantly suppresed up to -49dBc/Hz in simulation result. The three pairs of BC diodes are integrated m the tank circuit to increase the VCO Tunning range.

Performances of spectrum-sliced channels are strongly affected by their relative intensity noise (RIN). We use polarization-independent optical modulators (PIOMs) for spectrum-sliced channels to suppress their RIN. The PIOM driven by a high sinusoidal voltage signal evenly redistributes optical frequency components in the spectral domain and reduces the RIN. It can be used at a broadband light source (BLS) output to produce spectrum-sliced channels having lower RIN values. Also, it can be used for each spectrum-sliced channel within each optical network unit (ONU). In our experiment, where 12.5-GHz-spaced spectrum-sliced channels are used in 1-GbE speed, the use of PIOM at the BLS output reduces the bit error rate (BER) of the spectrum-sliced channel by more than an order of magnitude. The use of PIOM within the ONU reduces the BER by approximately 3 orders of magnitude.
