In order to evaluate the earthquake safety of equipment in structures, it is essential to analyze the In-Structure Response Spectrum (ISRS). The ISRS has a peak value at the frequency corresponding to the structural vibration mode, but the frequency and amplitude at the peak can vary because of many uncertain parameters. There are several seismic design criteria for ISRS peak-broadening for fixed base structures. However, there are no suggested criteria for constructing the design ISRS of seismically isolated structures. The ISRS of isolated structures may change due to the major uncertainty parameter of the isolator, which is the shear stiffness of the isolator and the several uncertainty parameters caused by the nonlinear behavior of isolators. This study evaluated the effects on the ISRS due to the initial stiffness of the bi-linear curve of isolators and the variation of effective stiffness by the input ground motion intensity and intense motion duration. Analyzing a simplified structural model for isolated base structure confirmed that the ISRS at the frequency of structural mode was amplified and shifted. It was found that the uncertainty of the initial stiffness of isolators significantly affects the shape of ISRS. The variation caused by the intensity and duration of input ground motions was also evaluated. These results suggested several considerations for generating ISRS for seismically isolated structures.

목적: 간 섬유화를 평가하기 위한 MR elastography (MRE)의 경직도 (stiffness value)에 미치는 gadoxetic acid의 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 대상과 방법: 임상적으로 만성 간 질환이 의심되어 자기공명영상을 촬영한 환자 중 조영제 (gadoxetic acid) 주입전과 후에 MRE를 촬영한 32명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 두 명의 영상의학과 의사가 간 실질의 경직도를 개별적으로 측정 하였다. 조영 전과 후의 평균 간경직도를 paired t-test를 사용하여 비교하였으며, 평가자내 및 평가자간 상관 관계는 intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)를 사용하여 분석 하였다. MRE의 F2 이상의 간섬유화 진단의 판별수치로 3.1 kPa을 이용하여 진단의 정확도, 민감도, 특이도를 구하였다. 결과: 조영 전과 후에 측정된 간 경직도의 평균값은 유의한 차이가 없었으며 (p > 0.05), 조영 전 후 모두에서 평가자 내 및 평가자간 우수한 상관 관계가 관찰되었다 (ICC = 0.988 for pre-contrast and ICC = 0.993 for post-contrast, ICC = 0.998 for rater 1 and ICC = 0.996 for rater 2). 간섬유화정도 F2 이상을 진단하는 MRE 의 정확도, 민감도, 특이도는 조영 전후 모두에서 각각 71%, 60%, 그리고 100%로 같은 값을 보였다. 결론: MRE를 이용한 gadoxetic acid 조영 전과 후에 측정된 간경직도는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았기에 조영 후 MRE 영상도 간 섬유화 평가에 이용될 수 있다.

This paper presents intermediate results of an on-going research for identification of the modal and the stiffness parameters of a bridge based on the ambient vibration data caused by the traffic loadings. The main algorithms consist of the random decrement method incorporating band-pass filters for estimation of the free vibration signals the cross spectral density method for identification of the modal parameters and the neural networks technique for estimation of the element-level stiffness changes. An experimental study is carried out on a scaled bridge model with a composite section subjected to various moving vehicle loadings. Vertical accelerations are measured at several locations on the girder. The estimated frequencies and mode shapes are found to be well-compared with those obtained from the impact tests. The estimated stiffness changes using the neural networks are found to be very good for the case with the simulated data. However the accuracy is found to be not quite satisfactory for the case with the experimental data particularly for the small value of the stiffness changes.

The track and rail surface geometry is of prime importance on the requirement for track dynamic stiffness, particularly for the speed of 350 km/h, for which both the requirement for fatigue and tensile strength limits require a lower stiffness than 100 kN/mm, which is near the value for ballasted track. However, the track quality has been considered as being the same for 350 km/h as that for 300 km/h, and based on ballasted track, and the track geometry may be kept in better condition with a slab track(probably more similar to the medium quality track geometry of ballasted track). In conclusion, under the condition that the track geometry quality provided by the concrete slab system is fairly good, and that the required maintenance is applied to the rail surface, there would be no safety risk if the fastening system point stiffness reaches 160 kN/mm for 300 km/h operation, and 110 N/mm at 350 km/h.

프리캐스트 콘크리트 대형판 구조물에 있어서 접합부의 강성은 일반적으로 일체식 철근 콘클리트 벽식구조물에 비하여 떨어지는 것으로 알려져있으나 이들 강성에 대한 정량적인 값에 대한 정보가 매우 부족한 실정이다. 이 논문은 몇가지 실험으로부터 도출된 해석적 결과에 근거하여 특히 수평접합부의 압축강도에 관한 정량적 정보를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 또한 접촉문제로부터의 접근에 의해 구해진 수평접합부의 압축강성값이 위에서 얻은 값들과 매우 유사함을 보여주고 있다.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of factors on the dynamic stiffness variation of boring bar. The experiment was carried out by Taguchi Method and Orthogonal array table. The results indicate that overhang was found out to be dominant factor with 95% confident intervals and feed rate and depth of cut were insignificant. In addition, analysis of loss function shows that loss value increased sharply from 3D to 4D(D is a shank diameter). Consequently, there is critical point which changes property of dynamic stiffness.

In vertical hydro/hydraulic power turbine-generator applications, traditionally, cylindrical turbine guide bearings (TGBs) are widely used to provide turbine runner shafts with smooth rotation guides and supports. All existing cylindrical TGBs with simple plain pads have drawbacks such as having no pressure generation and film stiffness at the no-load condition and in addition, at the low-load/low-eccentricity condition, having very low film stiffness values and lacking design credibility in the stiffness values themselves. In this paper, in order to fundamentally improve the low-load/low-eccentricity performance of conventional cylindrical TGBs and thus enhance their design-application availability and usefulness, we propose to introduce a rotation-directional leading-edge taper to each partitioned pad, i.e., a pad leading-edge taper. We perform a design analysis of lubrication performance on $4-Pad{\times}4-Row$ cylindrical TGBs to verify an engineering/technical usefulness of the proposed pad leading-edge taper. Analysis results show that by introducing the leading-edge taper to each pad of the cylindrical TGB one can expect a constant high average direct stiffness with a high degree of design credibility, regardless of load value, even at the low-load/low-eccentricity condition and also control the average direct stiffness value by exploring the taper height as a design parameter. Therefore, we conclude that the proposed pad leading-edge tapers are greatly effective in more accurately predicting and controlling rotordynamic characteristics of vertical hydro-power turbine-generator rotor-bearing systems to which cylindrical TGBs are applied.

본 연구에서는 수직증축 구조물의 기존말뚝의 축강성(K_ve)을 이론적인 접근과 현장 계측 결과를 바탕으로 추정하였다. 이론적인 접근에는 Randolph와 Wroth(1978)가 제안한 축강성 공식을 적용하여, 지중에 설치된 강성 및 연성말뚝의 세장비(L/D)에 따른 축강성의 범위를 도출하였다. 여기에, 1995 - 1997년 사이에 설치된 38본 말뚝의 계측된 시공 당시 축강성을 이론적으로 도출한 축강성 범위에 중첩해서 고려하였다. 이를 통하여, 노후화와 열화에 의하여 감소한 기존말뚝의 축강성의 최대값을 세장비에 따라 제안하였고, 도출된 값을 통계적인 기법을 통하여 상위 95% 값을 제안하여 신설 보강말뚝 설계 시 필요한 최소 축강성(K_vr)을 산정하는 데에 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.

쉴드 TBM 터널의 라이닝은 세그먼트로 구성되므로, 각각의 세그먼트가 서로 연결되면서 세그먼트 이음부를 발생시킨다. 세그먼트 이음부는 쉴드 TBM 설계에 있어 강성계수로 적용되어지는데, 세그먼트 이음부 강성계수는 그 결정 방법에 따라 결과 값이 현저한 차이를 보인다. 따라서 서로 다른 강성계수를 설계에 적용하였을 경우 그 결과가 어떻게 다른지에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 세그먼트 이음부 강성계수를 이론식을 통해 결정한 후 일정한 범위를 선정하였다. 그 범위 내에서 강성계수를 변화해가며 터널 단면 수치해석을 실시하여 세그먼트 라이닝 부재력을 도출하였고, 이에 강도설계법을 적용하여 세그먼트 라이닝 안정성 검토를 실시하였다. 그 결과 세그먼트 이음부 강성계수는 세그먼트 라이닝 설계에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, we investigate the use of a negative stiffness tuned inerter damper system to improve the performance of a base-isolated structure. The negative stiffness tuned inerter damper system consists of a tuned inerter damper connected in parallel with a negative stiffness element. To find the optimal parameters for the base-isolated structure with negative stiffness tuned inerter damper system, we develop an optimization method based on performance criteria. The objective of the optimization is to minimize the superstructure acceleration response ratio, while ensuring that the base displacement response ratio remains below a specified target value. We evaluate the proposed method by conducting numerical analyses on an eight-story building. The structure is modeled using both a simplified 3-degree-of-freedom system and a more detailed story-by-story shear-beam model. Lastly, a comparative analysis using time history analysis is performed to compare the performance of the base-isolated structure with negative stiffness tuned inerter damper system with that of the base-isolated structure and base-isolated structure with tuned inerter damper systems. The results obtained from the comparative analysis show that the negative stiffness tuned inerter damper system outperforms the tuned inerter damper system in reducing the dynamic seismic response of the base-isolated structure. Overall, this study demonstrates that the negative stiffness tuned inerter damper system can effectively enhance the performance of base-isolated structures, providing improved seismic response reduction compared to other systems.
