The performance of variable dampers for seismic protection of the benchmark highway bridge (phase I) under six real earthquake ground motions is presented. A simplified lumped mass finite-element model of the 91/5 highway bridge in Southern California is used for the investigation. A variable damper, developed from magnetorheological (MR) damper is used as a semi-active control device and its effectiveness with friction force schemes is investigated. A velocity-dependent damping model of variable damper is used. The effects of friction damping of the variable damper on the seismic response of the bridge are examined by taking different values of friction force, step-coefficient and transitional velocity of the damper. The seismic responses with variable dampers are compared with the corresponding uncontrolled case, and controlled by alternate sample control strategies. The results of investigation clearly indicate that the base shear, base moment and mid-span displacement are substantially reduced. In particular, the reduction in the bearing displacement is quite significant. The friction and the two-step friction force schemes of variable damper are found to be quite effective in reducing the peak response quantities of the bridge to a level similar to or better than that of the sample passive, semi-active and active controllers.

본 논문에서는 복합재료 패널 플러터를 억제할 수 있는 두 가지 방법에 대해서 연구하였다. 첫번째, 능동제어 방법에서는 선형 제어 이론을 바탕으로 제어기를 설계하였으며 제어입력이 작동기에 가해진다. 여기서 작동기로는 PZT를 사용하였다. 두 번째, 인덕터와 저항으로 구성되어진 션트회로를 사용하여 시스템의 감쇠를 증가시킴으로써 패널 플러터를 억제할 수 있는 새로운 방법인 수동감쇠기법에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 이 수동감쇠기법은 능동적 제어보다 강건(robust)하며 커다란 전원 공급이 필요하지 않고 제어기나 감지 시스템과 같이 복잡한 주변 기기가 필요 없이도 실제 패널 플러터 억제에 쉽게 응용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 최대의 작동력/감쇠 효과를 얻기 위해서 유전자 알고리듬을 사용하여 압전 세라믹의 형상과 위치를 결정하였다. 해밀턴 원리를 사용해서 지배 방정식을 유도하였으며, 기하학적 대변형을 고려하기 위해 von-Karman의 비선형 변형률-변위 관계식을 사용하였으며 공기력 이론으로는 준 정상 피스톤 1차 이론을 사용하였다. 4절점 4각형 평판 요소를 이용하여 이산화된 유한 요소 방정식을 유도하였다. 효율적인 플러터 억제를 위해 패널 플러터에 중요한 영향을 미치는 플러터 모드를 이용한 모드축약기법을 사용하였으며, 이를 통해 비선형 연계 모달 방정식이 얻어지게 된다. 능동적 제어 방법과 수동 감쇠 기법에 의해 수행되어진 플러터 억제 결과들을 Newmark 비선형 시분할 적분법을 통해 시간 영역에서 살펴 보았다.

최근 반도체 및 디스플레이 산업 등에서 초정밀 가공, 측정 등이 필요함에 따라, 외란과 내부 진동을 차단하는 방진 시스템에 대한 연구가 활성화 되고 있다. 기존에 소개된 여러 방진 시스템 중에서 가장 많이 연구되는 공기스프링은 압축 공기를 이용하여 큰 하중을 지지할 수 있으면서 상대적으로 낮은 강성으로 낮은 고유진동수를 유지할 수 있다. 본 연구는 기존의 레벨링 밸브를 이용한 수동 방진 시스템을 분석하여 이를 개선하고 능동 방진 시스템을 설계한다. 공기의 비선형 특성에 기인하는 복잡한 비선형 시스템 제어에 PID 제어기 보다 유리한 퍼지 제어기를 설계하였고, 실험과 해석을 비교하였다.

Most turbo machines, which operate at high speeds, such as gas turbines, jet engines, pumps, and compressors are prone to perrturbing vibrations. The best vibration control method for rotors is to eliminate destabilizing factors. Careful balancing application of "more stable" oil-lubricated bearing, such as tilting pad bearings or use of anti-swirl devices in seals, are examplse of passive vibration control methods. the use of magnetic bearing is an active control method. An obvious advantage of active control is that it provides damping (or modifies system stiffness or other parameters) only when there is a need for that, i.e., in emergency states, while not affecting the rotor normal operational conditions. Moreover, active control methods provide exact position control through on-line control. In this study, a magnetic actuator, digital contrliier using DSP, and bipolar operational power supply/amplifiers were developed to show the effectiveness of reducing robot vibration. Also the curve fitting procedure to obtain the transfer function of frequency dependent component was developed. Results presented in this dissertation will provide a well-defined technical parameters in designing magnetic damper system.er system.

본 연구에서는 지진하중을 받는 탄성 및 비탄성 구조물에 대하여 수동 및 준능동 TMD의 지진응답제어성능을 평가하였다. 먼저 기존의 연구에서 제안된 식을 사용하여 최적 설계된 수동형 TMD와 본 연구에서 제시된 준능동 TMB가 설치된 탄성 구조물의 변위스펙트럼을 구하였으며, 준능동 TMD가 TMD보다 작은 스트로크를 가지고도 최대변위응답제어에 있어 우수함을 확인하였다. 또한 구조물의 주기와 TMD의 주기가 일치하지 않은 경우의 성능저하에 대한 TMD의 강인성을 평가하였다. 최종적으로 Bouc-Wen 모델을 사용하여 모사된 비탄성이력 특성을 가지는 구조물에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 이를 통해 탄성구조물에 대하여 최적화된 수동형 TMD의 성능은 구조물 응답의 비탄성이력 부분이 증가함에 따라 크게 저하되는 반면 준능동 TMD는 수동형 TMD보다 약 15-40% 정도의 더 많은 응답감소효과를 가짐을 확인하였다.

In this work, the semi-active control of a large-sized bus suspension system with an MR damper was studied. An MR damper model that can aptly describe the hysteretic characteristics of an MR damper was adopted. Parameter values of the MR damper model were suitably modified by considering the maximum damping force of a passive damper used in the suspension system of a real large-sized bus. In addition, a fuzzy logic controller was developed for semi-active control of a suspension system with an MR damper. The vertical acceleration at the attachment point of the MR damper and the relative velocity between sprung and unsprung masses were used as input variables, while voltage was used as the output variable. Straight-ahead driving simulations were performed on a road with a random road profile and on a flat road with a bump. In straight-ahead driving simulations, the vertical acceleration and pitch angle were measured to compare the riding performance of a suspension system with a passive damper with that of a suspension with an MR damper. In addition, a single lane change simulation was performed. In the simulation, the lateral acceleration and roll angle were measured in order to compare the handling performance of a suspension system using a passive damper with that of a suspension system using an MR damper.

Vibration isolation equipments are mostly required in precise measurement and manufacturing system. Among all the vibration isolation equipments, air-spring is the most widely used equipment because of low resonant frequency and high damping ratio. In this study, we used Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy method to design an active vibration isolation system using air-spring, and compared the fuzzy method with passive control method and PID control method. Due to the non-linearity characteristics of air-spring, fuzzy controller was verified to be the most effective both in simulation and experiment.

This paper presents an active vibration control of a flexible beam structure using a hybrid mount which consists of elastic rubber and Piezoelectric material. After identifying stiffness and damping properties of the rubber and piezoelectric elements, a mechanical model of the hybrid mount is established. The mount model is then Incorporated into the beam structure, and the governing equation of motion is obtained in a state space. A sliding mode controller is designed in order to actively attenuate the vibration of the beam structure subjected to high frequency and small magnitude excitations. The controller is experimentally realized and control responses such as acceleration of the beam structure and force transmission through the hybrid mount are evaluated. In addition. a comparative work is done between the passive and hybrid mount systems.

The strong need of verifying theories formulated for semi-active control through applications to real structures is due to the fact that theoretical research on semi-active control systems is not matched by a corresponding satisfactory experimental activity. This paper shows how a smart system including magnetorheological devices as damping elements can be implemented in a large-scale structural model, by describing in detail the kind of electronics (dedicated hardware and software) adopted during the experimental campaign. It also describes the most interesting results in terms of reduction of the seismic response (either experimental or numerical) of the semi-actively controlled structure compared to a passive operating control system, and in terms of the evaluation criteria proposed in the benchmark for seismically excited controlled buildings. The paper also explains how to derive from the classical theory of optimal control the adopted control logic, based on a clear physical approach, and provides an exhaustive picture of the time delays characterizing the control sequence.
