The vibration and stress analysis program of comprehensive vibration assessment program(CVAP) is to theoretically verify the structural integrity of reactor vessel internals(RVI) and to provide the basis for selecting the locations monitored in measurement and inspection programs. This paper covers the applicability of the vibration and stress analysis method of APR1400 RVI CVAP. The analysis method was developed to use 3-dimensional detail hydraulic and structural models with ANSYS and CFX. To assess the method, the hydraulic loads and structural reponses of OPR1000 were predicted and compared with the measured data in the OPR1000 RVI CVAP. The results predicted with this method were close to the measured values considerably. Therefore, the analysis method was developed properly.

It is necessary to predict subway induced vibration if a new subway is to be built. To obtain the vibration response reliably, a three-dimensional (3D) FEM model, consisting of the tunnel, the soil, the subway load and the building above, is established in MIDAS GTS NX. For this study, it is a six-story frame structure built above line 3 of Guangzhou metro. The entire modeling process is described in detail, including the simplification of the carriage load and the determination of model parameters. Vibration measurements have been performed on the site of the building and the model is verified with the collected data. The predicted and measured vibration response are used together to assess vibration level due to the subway traffic in the building. The No.1 building can meet work and residence comfort requirement. This study demonstrates the applicability of the numerical train-tunnel-soil-structure model for the serviceability assessment of subway induced vibration and aims to provide practical references for engineering applications.

ISO6954:2000 (Mechanical vibration - Guidelines for the measurement, reporting and evaluation of vibration with regard to habitability on passenger and merchant ships) has taken effect as the governing body for vibration regarding habitability due to ship vibration. However, ISO6954:2000, when compared ISO6954:1984 (the first draft of ISO6954), needs to clear some deficiencies concerning convenience and reliability during field applications. In this paper, ISO6954:1984 and 2000 are evaluated on their suggested assessment method of ship's vibration in the future.

The tall and slender main crane is generally installed on the upper deck to load and unload the equipment or something heavy in the drilling rig or the ship. So the natural frequency of the crane equipment is very low, therefore, there is some possibility of excessive vibration at the emergency state due to sudden stop during the crane operation. This study describes a fatigue assessment due to heavy vibration during brake test of sudden stop because it is necessary the safety of crane is estimated against the heavy vibration. In order to find out the applied force, the vibration measurement and analysis have been performed.

The structural integrity of APR1400 reactor vessel internals has been being assessed referring the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulatory guide 1.20, comprehensive vibration assessment program. The program is composed of a vibration and stress analysis, a vibration and stress measurement, and an inspection. This paper covers the vibration and stress analysis on the reactor vessel internals by the pulsation of reactor coolant pump. 3-dimensional models to calculate the hydraulic loads and structural responses were built and the pressure distributions and the structural responses were predicted using ANSYS. This paper presents that APR1400 reactor vessel internals have enough structural integrity against the pulsation of reactor coolant pump as the peak stress of the reactor vessel internals is much lower than the acceptance limit.

The shock vibration such as machine vibration, blasting vibration etc. has effect on nearby structure as well as human body. The purpose of this study is to predict allowable limit distance of vibration about human body. First of all, vibration velocity such as PPV, PVS was measured by shock vibration experiment, and vibration level was calculated by conversion formula of vibration velocity. And then, allowable limit distance was analyzed by converted vibration level. The results are as follows : Firstly, the correlation coefficient of converted vibration level was over R=0.94, and vibration level caused by PVS was usually represented to high curve line. Secondly, the cross point of vibration level between ground and concrete condition was represented to 66.68dB(V), and allowable limit distance was represented to difference over three times when vibration regulation was raised from 65dB(V) to 80dB(V).

The thesis shows that we gauged vibration of vehicular load regarding WPC girder bridge and researched into dynamic characteristics(natural frequency, vibration acceleration) of WPC girder bridge. By the basic of that, we researched on vibration serviceability by looking over and being compared to vibration criteria we had before. In the thesis, the gauged vibration made an analysis of vertical acceleration through FFT method and evaluated vibration serviceability about vibration sense the body feels by means of the standard of ISO assessment standard and Meister assessment standard by referring to analysis data. This research on bridge is WPC girder bridge of 90m span, width of 5.5m, and the experiment was gauged by a fluent which is right way and inverse way about dump truck of gross 270kN. Acceleration was located in the middle of 1st span, 2nd span, 3rd span. As a result of appraisal standard of Meister, the vibrations of the bridge have distributed between "Level C, Strongly Perceptible" and "Level B, Disturbing". Also the vibration can be attacked with unpleasant feeling. As a result of appraisal standard of ISO, from vibration influence didn't come to 60s, and reduced comfort boundary in part of most rigorous standard that such a case didn't happen.

The instances of the damage to livestock are increasing with frequent environmental disputes on the noise and vibration. This study analyzed 134 open cases dealing with the environmental disputes on livestock damaged by noise and vibration, and being intervened by National Environmental Dispute Resolution Commission. The environmental disputes on the noise and vibration account for 86% of all the disputes, and cases of the consequent damages to livestock have increased. As shown in the 134 cases, pig is the most lethal livestock attacked by the noise and vibration. During last 10 years, 89% of the noise damages hurting the livestock resulted from the noises pertaining to construction and 58% was due to the noise damages from the road constructions. The noise levels in the range of 70~80 dB(A) and the vibration levels of 70~75 dB(V) caused most of the disputes. The average rate of reimbursement for the livestock damages for the last 10 years was higher than the average rate of reimbursement of the total disputes intervened by National Dispute Resolution Commission.

This paper addresses issues encountered in using the ISO and national standard codes to assess the hazards of whole-body vibration and repeat shocks. Their assessment methods are given in ISO 2631-1 (1974, 1985, 1997) and BS 6841 (1987) that are now available to us. Two standard codes can yield unfortunately different assessment results even for a single measured vibration signal. Possible reasons for such different results are pointed out and, furthermore, related questions that should be re-examined in the future are raised in this paper.
