In this paper, a simplified vibration analysis model for bellows was presented to avoid excessive effort required for shell model. To reduce degree of freedom, bellows was modelled using one dimensional beam element. The equivalent mass and stiffness matrices were obtained based upon Guyan reduction process. The results were compared with the confirmed results, which were in good agreement.

Ductility capacity is comprehensively studied for steel moment-resisting frames. Local, story and global ductility are being considered. An appropriate measure of global ductility is suggested. A time domain nonlinear seismic response algorithm is used to evaluate several definitions of ductility. It is observed that for one-story structures, resembling a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system, all definitions of global ductility seem to give reasonable values. However, for complex structures it may give unreasonable values. It indicates that using SDOF systems to estimate the ductility capacity may be a very crude approximation. For multi degree of freedom (MDOF) systems some definitions may not be appropriate, even though they are used in the profession. Results also indicate that the structural global ductility of 4, commonly used for moment-resisting steel frames, cannot be justified based on this study. The ductility of MDOF structural systems and the corresponding equivalent SDOF systems is studied. The global ductility values are very different for the two representations. The ductility reduction factor $F_{\mu}$ is also estimated. For a given frame, the values of the $F_{\mu}$ parameter significantly vary from one earthquake to another, even though the maximum deformation in terms of the interstory displacement is roughly the same for all earthquakes. This is because the $F_{\mu}$ values depend on the amount of dissipated energy, which in turn depends on the plastic mechanism, formed in the frames as well as on the loading, unloading and reloading process at plastic hinges. Based on the results of this study, the Newmark and Hall procedure to relate the ductility reduction factor and the ductility parameter cannot be justified. The reason for this is that SDOF systems were used to model real frames in these studies. Higher mode effects were neglected and energy dissipation was not explicitly considered. In addition, it is not possible to observe the formation of a collapse mechanism in the equivalent SDOF systems. Therefore, the ductility parameter and the force reduction factor should be estimated by using the MDOF representation.

본 논문에서는 자유도 기반 축소법과 부구조 기법을 적용한 반복 구조물의 효율적인 해석 기법을 소개한다. 기본 구조 반복된다는 특이성을 이용해 계산 방식을 개선하였다. 기본 구조를 하나의 부구조로 가정하고 IRS 기법을 통해 행렬을 축소하였고 부구조들의 결합 위치에 따라 축소된 행렬을 배치하여 계산하였다. 이 과정에서 행렬의 크기가 크게 줄어들어 계산 시간이 감소하고 그와 동시에 해석에 필요한 메모리의 용량이 줄어든다. 행렬 축소에 Guyan 축소법이 아닌 IRS기법을 사용하였기 때문에 추가적인 반복 계산 작업없이도 정확도가 유지된다. 개선된 방식은 수치 예제인 십자가 모양의 기본 구조를 통해 검증되었다.

For offshore structures, dynamic analysis becomes increasingly important as water depth increases and structural configuration becomes more slender. In the case of dynamic analysis of frame structures, much computer time and high cost are required due to many degrees of freedom, In this paper, a new technique of permutating a segment of frame structure to a beam is developed, which is called here Beam Permutation Technique. The technique is based on definition of stiffness matrix of the beam which is obtained by defining the actions(or forces) required to obtain unit translation or rotation for each degree of freedom wiht al other degree of freedom restrained to zero displacement or rotation. In the technique, an assumption is made that relative positions of nodes in the ends of the segment are not variable, The technique can significantly reduce the degrees of freedom of frame structures and thus the computiong time in dynamic analysis. The natural frequencies and static displacements of the permutated beam are obtained and compared to those of ANSYS with a good agreement.

It is demanded to find the dynamic model of a real structure to design a controller. However, as the structure has inherently infinite number of degree-of-freedom, it is impossible to obtain an exact dynamic model of the structure. Instead a reduction model with finite degree-of-freedom is used for the design of a controller. So there exists uncertainty between a real model and a reduction model which causes poor performance of control. All these uncertainties can degrade the control performance and even cause the control instability. Thus, robust control strategy considering the above uncertainties can be an alternative one to guarantee the performance and stability of the control. This study deals with the experimental verification of robust controller design for the active mass driver. $\mu$-synthesis technique is employed as a robust control strategy. Some weights are chosen based on the difference between the initial plant with which the controller is designed and the perturbed plant to be controlled having the actuator uncertainty. The robustness of $\mu$-synthesis technique is compared with the result of LQG strategy, which does not consider the uncertainty.

This paper presents a novel structural damage detection method with a new damage index based on the statistical moments of dynamic responses of a structure under a random excitation. After a brief introduction to statistical moment theory, the principle of the new method is put forward in terms of a single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system. The sensitivity of statistical moment to structural damage is discussed for various types of structural responses and different orders of statistical moment. The formulae for statistical moment-based damage detection are derived. The effect of measurement noise on damage detection is ascertained. The new damage index and the proposed statistical moment-based damage detection method are then extended to multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems with resort to the leastsquares method. As numerical studies, the proposed method is applied to both single and multi-story shear buildings. Numerical results show that the fourth-order statistical moment of story drifts is a more sensitive indicator to structural stiffness reduction than the natural frequencies, the second order moment of story drift, and the fourth-order moments of velocity and acceleration responses of the shear building. The fourth-order statistical moment of story drifts can be used to accurately identify both location and severity of structural stiffness reduction of the shear building. Furthermore, a significant advantage of the proposed damage detection method lies in that it is insensitive to measurement noise.

In this paper. we introduce a novel actuation method based on dielectric elastomer. Along with basic principles of actuation using dielectric elastomer a new design of actuator is discussed. The proposed design has advantageous features in reduction in size, speed of response, ease and ruggedness of operation. Using the actuator. a three-degree-of-freedom actuator module is developed, which can provide up-down. and two rotational degree-of-freedom motion. In the application of the proposed actuation method, a micro-robot mimicking the motion of an inchworm is developed.

An implicit method of solving the six degree-of-freedom rigid body motion equations based on the second order Adams-Bashforth-Moulten method was utilised as an improvement over the leapfrog scheme by making modifications to the rigid body motion solver libraries directly. The implementation will depend on predictor-corrector steps still residing within the hybrid Pressure Implicit with Splitting of Operators - Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations (PIMPLE) outer corrector loops to ensure strong coupling between fluid and motion. Aitken's under-relaxation is also introduced in this study to optimise the convergence rate and stability of the coupled solver. The resulting coupled solver ran on a free floating object tutorial test case when converged matches the original solver. It further allows a varying 70%-80% reduction in simulation times compared using a fixed under-relaxation to achieve the required stability.

This paper presents the application of a semi-active fuzzy based control system for seismic response reduction of a single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) framed structure using a Magnetorheological (MR) damper. Semi-active vibration control with MR dampers has been shown to be a viable approach to protect building structures from earthquake excitation. Moreover, intelligent damping systems based on soft-computing techniques such as fuzzy logic models have the inherent robustness to deal with typical uncertainties and non-linearities present in civil engineering structures. Thus, the proposed semi-active control system uses fuzzy logic based models to simulate the behavior of MR damper and also to develop the control algorithm that computes the required control signal to command the actuator. The results of the numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the suggested semi-active control system in reducing the response of the SDOF structure.

최근 몰입형 비디오의 수요가 점차 늘어남에 따라 국제 표준 단체인 MPEG-I에서 전방위 몰입형 비디오의 처리 기술이 활발하게 개발 중이다. 전방위 몰입형 비디오는 사용자 시점의 자유도가 증가함에 따라 비디오 신호의 크기가 급격히 증가하여 효과적인 압축 기술이 필수적이다. 더욱이 사용자의 움직임에 따른 보다 자유로운 시점 변환을 지원하는 6 자유도 (6-Degree-of_Freedom, 6DoF) 비디오의 압축을 위해서는 보다 우수한 부호화 효율을 제공하는 코덱의 개발이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 ISO/IEC 23090 Part 7 (Metadata for Immersive Media (Video))에서 진행 중인 몰입형 비디오의 압축 표준 프로젝트의 테스트 모델인 TMIV (Test Model for Immersive Video)에 기존 적용된 High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)를 최근 차세대 비디오 압축 표준 개발 중인 Versatile Video Coding (VVC)로 대체하여 성능 분석을 수행하고, VVC의 툴 분석으로부터 디블로킹 필터를 TMIV의 패치 아틀라스에 선택적으로 적용하는 것이 부호화 효율을 증대시킬 수 있음을 보인다. VVC 기반의 6 DoF 비디오 코덱의 성능 평가는 본 논문이 최초로 그에 따른 향후 6DoF지원 몰입형 비디오 표준 개발 방향을 제시한다. TMIV의 두 가지 작동 모드인 MIV (Metadata for Immersive Video) 모드와 MIV 시점 모드에서 공통 실험 조건에 명시된 일곱 가지 시퀀스에 대해 전체적으로 실험을 진행하였다. 기존 HEVC를 VVC로 대체함으로써 MIV 모드 방식에서 33.8%, MIV 시점 모드에서 30.2%의 Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) 관점에서의 부호화 성능 향상을 제공하였다. 이외에도 3차원 비디오의 인지 화질 평가를 위하여 사용하는 평가 지표로 IV-PSNR (Immersive Video PSNR)와 MSSIM (Mean Structural Similarity)를 이용하여 성능을 평가하였다.
