A transient T-F(time-frequency) signal processing technique is applied to a tilt drop and a linear shock test rigs for identification of shock characteristics of hard disk drive (HDD). The T-F technique essentially tracks the shock characteristics of pivot point response as well as head slap and lift-off phenomena. From the T-F analysis result, the shock characteristic in HDD is modeled by the two degree of freedom coupled-dynamic system, which consists of actuator arm and suspension. As shock designing tool, the maximax shock response spectrum is employed for prediction of shock performance. Finally, the shock control technique is tested with newly designed actuator arm and suspension. Experimental head slap test result shows that the shock performance is much higher with the new shockproof designed model than the current model

This paper presents experimental evaluation of IRE (isolation roller bearing) seismic isolation device. From the combination of base isolation on the IRE system displacement response spectrum and acceleration response spectrum, the compressive strength and the coefficient of friction experiments. Also the IRE system is evaluated by environment test according to KS standards. Both the resonance and seismic experiments using a combination of the IRE and Natural Rubber Bearing (NRB) are performed in order to analyze the seismic isolation of the IRE system dynamic characteristics. For the given load and exciting frequency, the resonant frequency becomes lower, but the resonant magnification remains to be same. However, it is shown that when we consider the IRE only, the vibration on the table with the horizontal movement and the independent horizontal displacement due to the rolling motion of the plate and roller are significantly reduced. This result verifies that the proposed optimal design method of the IRE system is very effective.

Vehicle vibration was introduced in the time and frequency domains using fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis. In particular, a vibration mode analysis and characteristics of the frequency response function (FRF) in a sport utility vehicle (SUV) passing over a bump barrier at different speeds was performed systematically. The response behavior of the theoretical acceleration was obtained using a numerical method applied to the forced vibration model. The amplitude and frequency of the external force on the vehicle cause various power spectra with individual intrinsic system frequencies. In this regard, several modes of power spectra were acquired from the spectra and are discussed in this paper. The proposed technique can be used for monitoring the acceleration in a vehicle passing over a bump barrier. To acquire acceleration signals, various experimental runs were performed using the SUV. These acceleration signals were then used to acquire the FRF and to conduct mode analysis. The vehicle characteristics according to the vehicle condition were analyzed using FRF. In addition, the vehicle structural system and bump passing frequencies were discriminated based on their power spectra and other FRF spectra.

An efficient method for generating floor response spectra with the structure-equipment interaction effects is proposed. Floor response spectra are computed from a prescribed ground response spectrum by a random vibration approach. Transfer function of equipment response for earthquake excitation is constructed directly from the modal properties of the individual structures. The method also can account for the nonproportional damping characteristics of the combined system.

The spectrum of impulse response signal which is obtained from an impulse hammer testing is used for frequency response function, nevertheless it has serious faults when the record length for the signal processing is not very long. The faults cannot be avoided with the conventional signal analyzer that is processing all the signals as if they are always periodic. The signals generated by the impact hammer are undoubtedly non-periodic because of the damping, and are acquired for limited recording time due to the memory as well as the computation performance of the signal analyzer. This paper will make clear the relation between the faults and the length of recording time, and propose the way for solving the faults.

In performance-based design methods, it is clear that the evaluation of the nonlinear response is required. The methods available to the design engineer today are nonlinear tim history analyses, or monotonic static nonlinear analyses, or equivalent static analyses with simulated inelastic influences. The nonlinear time analysis is the most accurate method in computing the nonlinear response of structures, but it is time-consuming and necessitate more efforts. Some codes proposed the capacity spectrum method based on the nonlinear static analysis to determine earthquake-induced demand given the structure pushover curve. This procedure is conceptually simple but iterative and time consuming with some errors. The nonlinear direct spectrum method is proposed and studied to evaluate nonlinear response of structures, without iterative computations, given by the structural linear vibration period and yield strength from the pushover analysis. The purpose of this paper is to compare the accuracy and the reliability of approximate nonlinear methods with respect to RC dual system and various earthquakes.

This paper investigates seismic damage potential of recent September 12 M5.8 Gyeongju earthquake from diverse earthquake engineering perspectives using the accelerograms recorded at three stations near the epicenter. In time domain, strong motion durations are evaluated based on the accelerograms and compared with statistical averages of the ground motions with similar magnitude, epicentral distance and soil conditions, while Fourier analysis using FFT is performed to identify damaging frequency contents contained in the earthquake. Effective peak ground accelerations are evaluated from the calculated response spectra and compared with apparent peak ground accelerations and the design spectrum in KBC 2016. All these results are used to consistently explain the reason why most of seismic damage in the earthquake was concentrated on low-rise stiff buildings but not quite significant. In order to comparatively appraise the damage potential, the constant ductility spectrum constructed from the Gyeongju earthquake is compared with that of the well-known 1940 El Centro earthquake. Deconvolution analysis by using one accelerogram speculated to be recorded at a stiff soil site is also performed to estimate the soil profile conforming to the response spectrum characteristics. Finally, response history analysis for 39- and 61-story tall buildings is performed as a case study to explain significant building vibration felt on the upper floors of some tall buildings in Busan area during the Gyeongju earthquake. Seismic design and retrofit implications of M5.8 Gyeongju earthquake are summarized for further research efforts and improvements of relevant practice.

To solve the seismic response problem of a vertical floating roof tank with base isolation, the floating roof is assumed to experience homogeneous rigid circular plate vibration, where the wave height of the vibration is linearly distributed along the radius, starting from the theory of fluid velocity potential; the potential function of the liquid movement and the corresponding theoretical expression of the base shear, overturning the moment, are then established. According to the equivalent principle of the shear and moment, a simplified mechanical model of a base isolation tank with a swinging effect is established, along with a motion equation of a vertical storage tank isolation system that considers the swinging effect based on the energy principle. At the same time, taking a 150,000 m 3 large-scale storage tank as an example, a numerical analysis of the dampening effect was conducted using a vibration mode decomposition response spectrum method, and a comparative analysis with a simplified mechanical model with no swinging effect was applied.
