Active control of solar panels with honeycomb core and carbon nanotube reinforced composite (CNTRC) facesheets for smart structures using piezoelectric patch sensor and actuator to reduce the amplitude of vibration is a lack of the previous study and it is the novelty of this research. Of active control elements are piezoelectric patches which act as sensors and actuators in many systems. Their low power consumption is worth mentioning. Thus, deriving a simple and efficient model of piezoelectric patch's elastic, electrical, and elastoelectric properties would be of much significance. In the present study, first, to reduce vibrations in composite plates reinforced by carbon nanotubes, motion equations were obtained by the extended rule of mixture. Second, to simulate the equations of the system, up to 36 mode shape vectors were considered so that the stress strain behavior of the panel and extent of displacement are thoroughly evaluated. Then, to have a more acceptable analysis, the effects of external disturbances (Aerodynamic forces) and lumped mass are investigated on the stability of the system. Finally, elastoelectric effects are examined in piezoelectric patches. The results of the present research can be used for micro-vibration suppression in satellites such as solar panels, space telescopes, and interferometers and also to optimize active control panel for various applications.

This study investigated the yielding capacity and performance of seismic dampers constructed with steel ring plates using numerical and analytical approaches. This study aims to provide an analytical relationship for estimating the yielding capacity and initial stiffness of steel ring dampers. Using plastic analysis and considering the mechanism of plastic hinge formation, a relation has been obtained for estimating the yielding capacity of steel ring dampers. Extensive parametric studies have been carried out using a nonlinear finite element method to examine the accuracy of the obtained analytical relationships. The parametric studies include investigating the influence of the length, thickness, and diameter of the ring of steel ring dampers. To this end, comprehensive verification studies are performed by comparing the numerical predictions with several reported experimental results to demonstrate the numerical method's reliability and accuracy. Comparison is made between the hysteresis curves, and failure modes predicted numerically or obtained/observed experimentally. Good agreement is observed between the numerical simulations and the analytical predictions for the yielding force and initial stiffness. The difference between the numerical models' ultimate tensile and compressive capacities was observed that average of about 22%, which stems from the performance of the ring-dampers in the tensile and compression zones. The results show that the steel ring-dampers are exhibited high energy dissipation capacity and ductility. The ductility parameters for steel ring-damper between values were 7.5 to 4.1.

Effects of viscoelastic foundation on vibration of curved-beam structure with clamped and simply-supported boundary conditions is investigated in this study. In doing so, a micro-scale laminate composite beam with two piezoelectric face layer with a carbon nanotube reinforces composite core is considered. The whole beam structure is laid on a viscoelastic substrate which normally occurred in actual conditions. Due to small scale of the structure non-classical elasticity theory provided more accurate results. Therefore, nonlocal strain gradient theory is employed here to capture both nano-scale effects on carbon nanotubes and microscale effects because of overall scale of the structure. Equivalent homogenous properties of the composite core is obtained using Halpin-Tsai equation. The equations of motion is derived considering energy terms of the beam and variational principle in minimizing total energy. The boundary condition is assumed to be clamped at one end and simply supported at the other end. Due to nonlinear terms in the equations of motion, semi-analytical method of general differential quadrature method is engaged to solve the equations. In addition, due to complexity in developing and solving equations of motion of arches, an artificial neural network is design and implemented to capture effects of different parameters on the inplane vibration of sandwich arches. At the end, effects of several parameters including nonlocal and gradient parameters, geometrical aspect ratios and substrate constants of the structure on the natural frequency and amplitude is derived. It is observed that increasing nonlocal and gradient parameters have contradictory effects of the amplitude and frequency of vibration of the laminate beam.

본 연구는 현재 널리 쓰이고 있는 sandwich technique을 임상에 적용함에 있어서, GIC 이장재에 대한 이중중합형 레진과 비교적 근래에 소개된 compomer의 결합력을 측정하여 기존의 광중합형, 화학중합형 복합레진과 비교하고, 가장 우수한 결합력을 보이는 glass ionomer-composite resin의 조합을 밝혀내고자 시도되었다. 이장용 재료로는, 광중합형 GIC인 Vitrebond와 화학중합형 GIC인 Ketac-fil을 사용하였으며, 이 두 가지의 이장재에 대해, 광중합형 복합 레진인 Z-100, 화학중합형 복합 레진인 Clearfil, compomer인 Dyract, 그리고 이중중합형 복합 레진인 Bis-core를 축조하여 각 군당 10개씩, 총 80개의 시편을 제작하였다. 제작된 시편은 $37^{\circ}C$의 증류수에 24시간동안 보관한 후, full load scale 50kg, cross-head speed 1mm/min 조건의 만능 시험기에서 그 전단결합강도를 측정하였으며 실험결과는 student t-test로 검정하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. Vitrebond를 이장재로 사용한 경우, Z-100이 가장 낮은 결합강도를 보였으며, 나머지 세 재료는 결합력의 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 2. Ketac-fil을 이장재로 사용한 경우, Clearfil이 가장 높은 결합강도를 보였고, Dyract, Bis-core가 중등도의 결합강도를, Z-100이 가장 낮은 결합강도를 보였다(P<0.05). 3. Clearfil은 Vitrebond 상방에서는 타 재료들과 비슷한 결합강도를 보였으나, Ketac-fil 상방에서는 가장 강한 결합강도를 보임으로써, GIC 이장재의 종류에 따른 결합력의 차이를 보였으나 (P<0.05), 나머지 세 재료의 경우에는 차이를 보이지 않았다(P>0.05). 4. Vitrebond를 사용할 때보다 Ketac-fil을 이장재로 사용할 때, 상부에 축조되는 복합레진의 종류에 따른 결합력의 차이가 더 크게 나타났다(P<0.05).

This paper explains analytical and experimental studies to evaluate the natural frequency of a composite carbody of Korean tilting train. The composite carbody with length of 23m was manufactured as a sandwich structure composed of 40mm-thick aluminium honeycomb core and 5mm-thick woven fabric carbon/epoxy face. From the finite element analysis, the 1st bending and 1st twisting natural frequency of the composite carbody were 11.67Hz and 14.4Hz, respectively. In order to verify the analytical results, the natural frequency measuring tests were performed. The measured 1st bending and twisting natural frequencies of the composite carbody were 10.25Hz and 11.0Hz, respectively. Both of these results satisfied the design requirement.

This study is a trial to make a design chart of sound insulation for multiple panel. Dilatational frequency, ${\Large f}_d$ becomes a key factor for optimal design since it acts like a turning point in sound insulation performance of such panels. Hence, in tuning the ${\Large f}_d$ optimally, elastic modulus of core material and thickness of the skin panel is designated to parameters. Based on these parameter, a design chart of sound insulation for multiple panel is made. Its applicability is proved by the case study of High noise reduction panel.

In this paper, based on first-order shear deformation theory, the governing equations of motion for a sandwich curved beam including an elastic core and two piezo-magnetic face-sheets are presented. The curved beam model is resting on Pasternak's foundation and subjected to applied electric and magnetic potentials on the piezo-magnetic face-sheets and transverse loading. The five equations of motion are analytically solved and the bending and vibration results are obtained. The influence of important parameters of the model such as direct and shear parameters of foundation and applied electric and magnetic potentials are studied on the electro-mechanical responses of the problem. A comparison with literatures was performed to validate our formulation and results.
