The proposed hybrid damper installs at a coupling beam and consists of a high-damping rubber (HDR) and steel pin. The proposed hybrid damper adopted a pin-lock system acts as a viscoelastic damper under wind load (small displacement) while it behaves as a hysteretic damper under earthquake load (large displacement). In this paper, the pin-lock mechanism and structural performance of the proposed hybrid damper is evaluated through experiment. Experiments were carried out with the variables which displacement, loading frequency and steel pin quantities were used. Test results showed that the pin-lock mechanism and the performance of the hybrid damper under a large displacement were verified. Also equivalent damping ratios of HDR were increasing at a small displacement as displacement amplitudes were increasing. However HDR did not depend on frequency.

Under foundation shock mats have been used in the current practice in order to reduce/damp vibrations received by buildings through the surrounding environment. Although some investigations have been made on under foundation shock mats performance, their effectiveness in the reduction of railway induced-vibrations has not been fully studied, particularly with the consideration of underneath soil media. In this regard, this research is aimed at investigating performance of shock mat used beneath building foundation for reduction of railway induced-vibrations, taking into account soil-structure interaction. For this purpose, a 2D finite/infinite element model of a building and its surrounding soil media was developed. It includes an elastic soil media, a railway embankment, a shock mat, and the building. The model results were validated using an analytical solution reported in the literature. The performance of shock mats was examined by an extensive parametric analysis on the soil type, bedding modulus of shock mat and dominant excitation frequency. The results obtained indicated that although the shock mat can substantially reduce the building vibrations, its performance is significantly influenced by its underneath soil media. The softer the soil, the lower the shock mat efficiency. Also, as the train excitation frequency increases, a better performance of shock-mats is observed. A simplified model/method was developed for prediction of shock mat effectiveness in reduction of railway-induced vibrations, making use of the results obtained.

Recent success of gravitational wave (GW) detection by LIGO opened a new window to expand our understanding of the Universe. In addition to LIGO, several other developments are going on or under planning. However, each of these detectors has a specific sensitive frequency range. There is a missing frequency band, 0.1-10 Hz, where detectors loose sensitivity significantly due to Newtonian noise on the Earth. We introduce a plan to develop a Superconducting Low-frequency Gravitational- wave Telescope (SLGT), which can observe massive black holes in 0.1-10 Hz. The SLGT system consists of magnetically levitated six test masses, superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), rigid support frame, cooling system, vibration isolation, and signal acquisition. By taking the advantage of nearly quantum-limited low-noise SQUIDs and capacitor bridge transducers, SLGT's detection sensitivity can be improved to allow astrophysical observation of black holes in cosmological distances. We present preliminary design study and expected sensitivity, and its technical feasibility.

자전거는 균형을 유지하며 빠른 속도로 주행하는 과정에서 여러 형태의 상당한 운동 에너지가 내재되어 있어, 에너지 수확기술을 적용하는데 있어 큰 장점을 갖는 이동형 플랫폼이다. 자전거에 에너지 수확 기술을 적용해 높은 출력을 얻기 위해서는 주행 중인 자전거의 운동 특성을 면밀히 관찰하고 이해하는 것이 필요하지만 실제 도로를 주행하는 자전거의 움직임을 정밀하게 측정한 연구나 이를 위한 전용의 측정 장치는 거의 없는 실정이다. 본 연구는 MEMS 기반의 가속도 센서를 이용하여 주행 중인 자전거의 동적 상태를 측정하고 이를 토대로 자전거 주행에 동반되는 에너지의 특성을 분석함으로써 이에 적합한 에너지 수확 증진 기술을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 일반 자전거를 이용한 도로 주행 실험에서 주행 속도와 무관한 주파수 특성을 갖는 평균 1g 전후의 잉여 진동 에너지가 수반됨을 확인하였으며, 임의진동 에너지의 효과적인 수확을 위해 비선형 특성을 갖는 자기부상형 전자기 유도 방식의 에너지 수확기 프로토타입을 개발하였다. 개발된 에너지 수확기를 자전거에 장착하여, 휴대용 센서 및 근거리 무선 통신 모듈의 구동이 가능한 평균 1.5 mW 의 전력 생산을 검증하였다. 현재 자전거 차체의 진동분리 및 변환 효율 향상을 위한 연구가 진행 중이며, 향후 증진된 출력을 바탕으로 각종 스마트 정보 기기의 지속적인 전력공급을 위한 기반 기술이 될 것으로 기대한다.

The Rotating transmission is made up of belts, mass disks and gears. This transmission is controlled electro-mechanically by the motor and operation program. The control strategy of the system can be to change belts' stiffness and the masses of mass disk and gear. This system can be modeled as a rigid body, and also finds broad application in such diverse fields as machine tools, the cruise control system In automobiles, and control in the attitude and gimbals of spacecraft. This Transmission proves the necessity and effect of a closed loop control. The study of the Rotating Transmission excited by its base motion is able not only to predict the rotational performance, but to obtain the fundamental data for vibration isolation. In this research, we compared the response characteristics of the two controllers by means of the experiments on PD controller and PID controller added on integral action. Furthermore, we studied the response abilities such as steady state error, overshoot, and ect. and the response velocities such as rising time, settling time, and ect. in the rotating transmission.

Applications such as vibration isolation, gravity compensation, pick-and-place machines, etc., would benefit from (long-stroke) cylindrical/tubular permanent magnet (PM) actuators with integrated passive gravity compensation to minimize the power consumption. As an example, in component placing (pick-and-place) machines on printed circuit boards, passive devices allow the powerless counteraction of translator including nozzles or tooling bits. In these applications, an increasing demand is arising for high-speed actuation with high precision and bandwidth capability mainly due to the placement head being at the foundation of the motion chain, hence, a large mass of this device will result in high force/power requirements for the driving mechanism (i.e. an H-bridge with three linear permanent magnet motors placed in an H-configuration). This paper investigates a tubular actuator topology combined with passive gravity compensation. These two functionalities are separately introduced, where the combination is verified using comprehensive three dimensional (3D) finite element analyses.

In this study an automatic soil hardness measuring system mountable on agricultural tractors was developed to improve the accuracy of manual soil hardness testers by a constant penetrating rate, right direction of the cone-penetrometer and the isolation of vibration from the operator. This was necessary to supply similar experimental condition for performance test of new model and comparative experiment. The results of the study are summaried as follows; 1. The system consisted of a sensing part of soil hardness, a driving part of the measuring system and an attaching part between the tractor and the measuring system. 2. The allowable limit value of the system developed was set to 392N to protect from breaking the serve motor and the coupling used in this system. 3. The driving shaft penetrated into soil by 0.3m to measure soil hardness. The soil hardness was measured at the depth of 0.3m from the soil surface but the penetrating work was stopped and the driving shaft was pulled out to protect the system when the value of the soil hardness was too big on foreign substances like stones or straws. 4. Two values measured by automatic measuring system developed in this research and manual penetrometer were compared by statistics hypothesis testing method. When two people measured the soil hardness at the depth of 0.1 and 0.15m by manual cone penetrometer, there was no relationship between two values by two people but the values at the same depths by automatic measuring system developed showed similarity. The automatic system, therefore, developed in this research was proper for measuring soil hardness.
