Control of vibrations against extraordinary excitations such as wind and earthquake is very important to the protection of life and financial concerns. One of the methods of structural control is to use Tuned Liquid Damper (TLD), however due to the nature of TLD only one sloshing frequency can be created when the water is sloshing. Among various ideas proposed to compensate this problem, by changing the angle of some rotatable baffles embedded inside a TLD, a frequency range is created such that these baffles are tuned manually at different frequencies. In this study, the effect of cross sectional shape of container with rotating baffles on seismic behavior of TLD is experimentally studied. For this purpose, rectangular and cylindrical containers are designed and used to suppress the vibrations of a Single Degree-Of-Freedom (SDOF) structure under harmonic and earthquake excitations considering three baffle angles. The results show that the rectangular-shaped damper reduces the structural response in all load cases more than the damper with a cylindrical shape, such that maximum differences of two dampers to reduce the structural displacement and structural acceleration are 5.5% and 3% respectively, when compared to the cases where no baffles are employed.

본 연구에서는 열형광선량계(TLD)용 팬톰을 설계 및 제작하고 구동장치에 위치시켜 팬톰이 호흡과 유사하게 움직이는 경우에 선량분포의 변화를 측정하였다. 제작된 팬톰은 TLD를 최소 3 mm 간격으로 위치시킬 수 있는 TLD용 판과 필름을 장착시킬 수 있는 판으로 구성된다. 선량분포 측정을 위하여 팬톰 속 깊이 1.5 cm ($d_{max}$)에 TLD가 배열된 판을 삽입하고, 6 MV X-선이 조사되는 상태에서 팬톰을 SI 방향으로 $1{\sim}2cm$ 범위에서 0.5 cm 간격으로 왕복운동하도록 하였다. 측정된 선량 프로파일에서 이동범위에 따른 반음영과 반측폭을 구하여 정지 상태와 비교한 결과 팬톰의 이동범위가 증가함에 따라 반음영 영역은 0.71 cm에서 2.10 cm로 증가하였으며 반측폭은 7.52 cm에서 7.02 cm로 감소하였다. 본 연구에서는 필름을 사용하여 위의 결과를 재확인한 결과 유사한 경향을 나타내었다. 따라서 호흡에 의해 위치의 변화가 발생하는 종양에 대하여 치료계획을 수립하는 경우에 이 결과를 고려한다면 치료 효과 향상에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

열처리 특성의 연구는 열형광선량계를 재 사용하는데 있어서 중요하다. 최근 개발된 디스크 형태 (직경 4.5 mm, 두께 약 $90mg/cm^2$)의 LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si Teflon TLD의 열처리 조건을 구하기 위하여 조사전열처리, 판독과정 및 판독 후 열처리의 순서로 연구하였다. Teflon TLD의 감마선 조사는 $^{60}Co$ 0.1 Gy로 하였다. LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si Teflon TLD의 열처리 특성의 연구는 전기로와 판독장치를 이용하여 열처리 온도와 열처리 시간을 변화시키면서, 측정반복횟수에 따른 열형광강도 변화를 관찰하는 방법으로 수행하였다. LiF:Mg,Cu,Na,Si Teflon TLD의 열처리 조건은 조사전 열처리를 $80^{\circ}C$에서 1 시간 한 후 $280^{\circ}C$까지 판독하고 판독 후 열처리를 $270^{\circ}C$에서 20 초간 하는 것으로 결정되었고, 이 조건에서 10 회 반복측정시 원래의 열형광강도는 5%의 감소를 보였다.

방사선을 조사한 시료를 가열하면 시료로부터 흡수된 에너지의 일부가 더 긴 파장의 빛으로 방출되는 것을 이용한 것이 열형광선량계이다. 본 연구의 목적은 피폭선량계로 널리 이용되는 8개의 TLD-100에 동일한 조건에서 열처리와 방사선을 조사하여 자기장을 노출하지 않은 4개와 자기장에 노출시킨 4개를 글로우 곡선을 분석 하였다. 실험 결과 방사선 조사로 포획된 전자가 자기장 노출에 의해 낮은 트랩의 전자들 중 일부는 가전자대의 정공과 결합하여 48%의 피크 면적이 감소하였다. 낮은 트랩의 면적 감소로 인하여 자기장에 노출된 TLD-100은 낮은 선량을 나타내었다. 또한 낮은 트랩의 활성화 에너지는 1.6 eV와 1.5 eV로 나타났다.

In this study, to develop highly sensitive radiation sensors, $CaSO_4$ : Tm phosphors and its disc-type TLD elements embedded PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene) are fabricated. The highest sensitivity of $CaSO_4$ : Tm phosphors is obtained when phosphors have been doped with 0.5mol % Tm and sintered in atmosphere at $600^{\circ}C$ for two hours. Fabricated disc-type elements are made from a homogeneous mixture of phosphors and PTFE powder. They are first cold-pressed and then polymerized at $370^{\circ}C$ in air for one hour. The dose dependence of the prepared $CaSO_4$ : Tm TLD radiation sensors is linear within the range of $100{\mu}Gy{\sim}10Gy$ for X-rays and ${\gamma}-rays$. The response of $CaSO_4$ : Tm to 30keV X-rays is ten times higher than that of 1.25MeV $^{60}Co\;{\gamma}-rays$. The fading rate of the main peak is about 2% per a month. The spectral peaks of TL emission spectrum are at about 350nm and 475nm. The $CaSO_4$ : Tm TLD radiation sensors prepared in this work may be used as radiation dosimeter for personal and environmental monitoring because of their high sensitivity and little fading.

The natural sloshing frequencies of annular cylindrical TLD are parametrically investigated by experiment, aiming at the exploration of its successful use for suppressing the structural vibration of spar-type floating wind turbine subject to multidirectional wind, wave and current excitations. Five prototypes of annular cylindrical TLD are defined according to the inner and outer radii of acryl container, and eight different liquid fill heights are experimented for each TLD prototype. The apparent masses near the first and second natural sloshing frequencies are parametrically investigated by measuring the apparent mass of interior liquid sloshing to the acceleration excitation. It is observed from the parametric experiments that the first natural sloshing frequency shows the remarkable change with respect to the liquid fill height for each TLD model with different container dimensions. On the other hand, the second natural sloshing frequency is not sensitive to the liquid fill height but to the gap size, for all the TLD models, convincing that the annular cylindrical sloshing damper can effectively suppress the wave- and wind-induced tilting motion of the spar-type floating wind turbine.

The tuned liquid damper (TLD) is increasingly being used as an economical and effective vibration absorber. It consists of a water tank having the fundamental sloshing fluid frequency tuned to the natural frequency of the structure. In order to perform efficiently, the TLD must possess a certain amount of inherent damping. This can be achieved by placing screens inside the tank. The current study experimentally investigates the behaviour of a TLD equipped with damping screens. A series of shake table tests are conducted in order to assess the effect of the screens on the free surface motion, the base shear forces and the amount of energy dissipated. The variation of these parameters with the level of excitation is also studied. Finally, an amplitude dependent equivalent tuned mass damper (TMD), representing the TLD, is determined based on the experimental results. The dynamic characteristics of this equivalent TMD, in terms of mass, stiffness and damping parameters are determined by energy equivalence. The above parameters are expressed in terms of the base excitation amplitude. The parameters are compared to those obtained using linear small amplitude wave theory. The validity of this nonlinear model is examined in the companion paper.

In this paper, the performance of a tuned liquid damper (TLD) in suppressing the seismic response of buildings is investigated with shake table testing of a four-story steel frame model that rests on pile foundation. The model tests were performed in three phases with the steel frame structure alone, the soil and pile foundation system, and the soil-foundation-structure system, respectively. The test results from different phases were compared to study the effect of soil-structure interaction on the efficiency of a TLD in reducing the peak response of the structure. The influence of a TLD on the dynamic response of the pile foundation was investigated as well. Three types of earthquake excitations were considered with different frequency characteristics. Test results indicated that TLD can suppress the peak response of the structure up to 20% regardless of the presence of soils. TLD is also effective in reducing the dynamic responses of pile foundation.
