As a seismic damper the viscoelastic damper is known the effective method to control the drift of the flexible building. As the viscoelastic damper has the characteristics of both damping and stiffness specially when the rubber material used hysteretic damping. The behavior of the hysteretic damping is quite different from that of the viscous damping. For the evaluation of the viscoelastic damper for the seismic purpose the nonlinear response spectrum was generated based on the dynamic test of the viscoelastic damper and the results is compared to that of the typical linear response spectrum,

Damping materials are widely used to reduce vibration or noise generation of structures. To understand their damping capability and for use in numerical simulations, their viscoelastic properties should be measured in the frequency range of interest. In this study, experimental setup is proposed to measure materials properties of very compliant polymer materials. The polymer materials used in this study are difficult to form into rod shapes, and typical resonance methods are not applicable. In the proposed measurement setup, the damping materials were modeled as a simple viscoelastic support at one end of the beam. Their properties were measured through analysis of their effects on the wave propagation characteristics of the beam structure.

Structural damping enhancement of composite flexures and aeroelastic stability of a hingeless rotor system are investigated. Constrained layer damping (CLD) treatments are applied in order to increase structural damping of flexures. Material damping property of viscoelastic layer is modelled as complex modulus. Modal analysis of composite flexures with attached viscoelastic layers and constraining layers are performed using MSC/NASTRAN and the effects of CLD treatments are verified with the modal test results. The composite flexures with CLD are applied to a 4-bladed, 2-meter diameter, Froude-scaled, soft-in-plane hingeless rotor system. The aeroelastic stability is tested at hovering condition and the effects of CLD are investigated. It is shown that the CLD treatment effectively enhance the aeroelastic stability at hover.

In injection molding of an optical disk, a toric lens, etc., their performance depends on the transcription preciseness of fine surface structure of a mold. However, transcription behavior has not been made clear yet, because transcription is made in very short time and the structure is very small. In this paper, transcription properties have been examined, by using V-grooves of various sizes. machined on mold surfaces, and the following results are obtained. (1) Transcription properties have been made clear experimentally and it was found that the mold temperature $T_D$ makes great influence on the transcription property and that compression applying time $t_c$ should be taken more than 2.0s for fine transcription. (2) A mechanical model of transcription process, in consideration with strain recovery due to viscoelastic property of polymer. is proposed. (3) Simulation results agree with experimental ones fairly well. It means that the transcription model is useful for estimation of transcription property in advance of an actual. injection molding.

Objective: To investigate the feasibility of assessing the viscoelastic properties of the brain using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and a novel MRE transducer to determine the relationship between the viscoelastic properties and glymphatic function in neurologically normal individuals. Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 47 neurologically normal individuals aged 23-74 years (male-to-female ratio, 21:26). The MRE was acquired using a gravitational transducer based on a rotational eccentric mass as the driving system. The magnitude of the complex shear modulus |G^*| and the phase angle 𝛗 were measured in the centrum semiovale area. To evaluate glymphatic function, the Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis Along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS) method was utilized and the ALPS index was calculated. Univariable and multivariable (variables with P < 0.2 from the univariable analysis) linear regression analyses were performed for |G^*| and 𝛗 and included sex, age, normalized white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume, brain parenchymal volume, and ALPS index as covariates. Results: In the univariable analysis for |G^*|, age (P = 0.005), brain parenchymal volume (P = 0.152), normalized WMH volume (P = 0.011), and ALPS index (P = 0.005) were identified as candidates with P < 0.2. In the multivariable analysis, only the ALPS index was independently associated with |G^*|, showing a positive relationship (β = 0.300, P = 0.029). For 𝛗, normalized WMH volume (P = 0.128) and ALPS index (P = 0.015) were identified as candidates for multivariable analysis, and only the ALPS index was independently associated with 𝛗 (β = 0.057, P = 0.039). Conclusion: Brain MRE using a gravitational transducer is feasible in neurologically normal individuals over a wide age range. The significant correlation between the viscoelastic properties of the brain and glymphatic function suggests that a more organized or preserved microenvironment of the brain parenchyma is associated with a more unimpeded glymphatic fluid flow.

Viscoelastic damping materials are widely used to reduce noise and vibration because of its low cost and easy implementation, for examples, on the body structure of passenger cars, air planes, electric appliances and ships. To design the damped structures, the material property such as elastic modulus and loss factor is essential information. The four-parameter fractional derivative model well describes the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of the viscoelastic damping materials with respect to both frequency and temperature with fewer parameters than conventional spring-dashpot models. However the identification procedure of the four-parameter is very time-consuming one. An efficient identification procedure of the four-parameters is proposed by using an FE model and a gradient-based numerical search algorithm. The identification procedure goes two sequential steps to make measured FRFs coincident with simulated FRFs: the first one is a peak alignment step and the second one is an amplitude adjustment. A numerical example shows that the proposed method is efficient and robust in identifying the viscoelastic material parameters of fractional derivative model.

Wheel bearings are important automotive parts that bear the vehicle weight and translate rotation motion; in addition, their seals are components that prevent grease leakage and foreign material from entering from the outside of the bearings. Recently, as the need for electric vehicles and eco-friendly vehicles has been emerging, the reduction in fuel consumption and $CO_2$ emissions are becoming the most important issues for automobile manufacturers. In the case of wheel bearings, seals are a key part of drag torque. In this study, we investigate the prediction of the drag torque taking into consideration the hyperelastic and viscoelastic material properties of automotive wheel bearing seals. Numerical analysis based on the finite element method is conducted for the deformation analyses of the seals. To improve the reliability of the rubber seal analysis, three types of rubber material properties are considered, and analysis is conducted using the hyperelastic material properties. Viscoelastic material property tests are also conducted. Deformation analysis considering the hyperelastic and viscoelastic material properties is performed, and the effects of the viscoelastic material properties are compared with the results obtained by the consideration of the hyperelastic material properties. As a result of these analyses, the drag torque is 0.29 Nm when the hyperelastic characteristics are taken into account, and the drag torque is 0.27 Nm when both the hyperelastic and viscoelastic characteristics are taken into account. Therefore, it is determined that the analysis considering both hyperelastic and viscoelastic characteristics must be performed because of its reliability in predicting the drag torque of the rubber seals.

의료분야에서 조직의 경화는 진단 또는 질환의 진행상황의 파악에 이용되는 중요한 정보의 한 가지이며, 객관적인 진단을 위해서는 경화의 정량적 계측법이 중요하다. 경화의 지표인 점탄성 정수를 비침습적으로 계측하는 방법으로 MRE(Magnetic Resonance Elastography) 법이 제안되고 있다. MRE 법에서는 전파파(propagating wave)의 국소 파장과 국소 감쇠율로부터 점탄성 정수를 구하는데 MRE 화상은 S/N 비가 낮아지므로, 잡음의 영향을 감소시키기 위하여 다중 위상 MRE 화상을 이용한 방법이 검토되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다중 위상 MRE 화상에 함수를 적용하여 점탄성 정수를 측정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 다중 위상 MRE 화상에 점탄성파를 적용시키지만, 점탄성 정수의 공간방향으로의 변화율이나 화상에 포함된 잡음에 따라 측정값의 공간분해능을 임의적으로 설정할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 시뮬레이션 화상을 이용한 실험과 silicone-gel phantom을 이용한 실험에 의하여 제안된 방법의 유효성을 확인하였다.
