This paper presents the development of a micro punching system with modified cymbal mechanism. To realize the micro punching, we introduced the hybrid system with a macro moving part and micro punching part. The macro moving part consists of a ball screw, a linear guide and the micro step motor and micro punching part includes the PZT actuators and displacement amplification device with modified cymbal mechanism. The PZT actuator is capable of producing very large force, but they provide only limited displacements which are several micro meters. Thus the displacement amplification device is necessary to make those actuators more efficient and useful. For this purpose, a cymbal mechanism in series is proposed. The finite element method was used to design the cymbal mechanism and to analyze the mode shape of the one. The displacement and mode shape error between the FEM results and experiments are within 10%. A considerable design effort has been focused on optimizing the flexure hinge to increase the output displacement and punching force.

Buildings which was constructed before 1988 were not satisfied seismic design code. Thus, most of these buildings have to retrofit for remodeling. This study proposed the steel slit damper system with displacement-amplification device. It could maximize the effectiveness of a damper system in controlling seismic response of a building by amplifying story drift induced to damper. In this study, the proposed system was verified the effect of displacement-amplification using the analytical and experimental study. From the analysis and experiment, it was found that the propsed damping system showed a stable hysteric behavior with excellent energy dissipation capacity. Therefore the proposed system will make a good seismic performance and economical benefits.

The vibration control device such as the damper can be used to reinforce the seismic performance of structures. The damper is activated by the deformation of structures during earthquake; however, the deformation of structures is extremely small, causing difficulty in using the damper. Therefore, there is a need for a method capable of amplifying small deformities and transmitting them to the damper. The purpose of this paper is to develop and evaluate a displacement amplification seismic system using cable-pulley. The appropriate cable was selected through a cable tensile performance test and the results of the frame experiment were compared with theoretical displacement amplification ratio values. As a result, it may be said that the proposed system using cable-pulley is useful for displacement amplification.

A new precision positioning mechanism for stage was been developed by Displacement Magnification Device(DMD) in this paper. The DMD was composed of the beam and multilayer piezoelectric actuators. The theoretical and experimental analysis of DMD to enlarge displacement more then 50times were discussed. And the 2-axis stage by using displacement amplification apparatus was added in the new DMD, and it was able to do it through finite element analysis and experiment. As the results, the magnification of DMD can be obtained about $100{mu}m$ displacement to the 10V input voltage($1.5{mu}m$). And the about 50nm of linearity error in the $30{mu}m$ measurement range and 20times of the amplification in displacement can be measured. In addition, the experimental results are confirmed the possibility of millimeter displacement characteristics and correspond to finite element analysis results.

Visco-Plastic Damper (VPD) as a passive energy dissipation device with dual behavior has been recently numerically studied. It consists of two bent steel plates and segments with a viscoelastic solid material in between, combining and improving characteristics of both displacement-dependent and velocity-dependent devices. In order to trust the performance of VPD, for the 1st time this paper experimentally investigates prototype damper behavior under a wide range of frequency and amplitude of dynamic loading. A high-axial damping rubber is innovatively proposed as the viscoelastic layer designed to withstand large axial strains and dissipate energy accordingly. Test results confirmed all assumptions about VPD. The behavior of VPD subjected to low levels of excitation is elastic while with increasing levels of excitation, a significant source of energy dissipation is provided through the yielding of the steel elements in addition to the viscoelastic energy dissipation. The results showed energy dissipation of 99.35 kN.m under a dynamic displacement with 14.095 mm amplitude and 0.333 Hz frequency. Lateral displacement at the middle of the device was created with an amplification factor obtained ranging from 2.108 to 3.242 in the rubber block. Therefore, the energy dissipation of viscoelastic material of VPD was calculated 18.6 times that of the ordinary viscoelastic damper.

연구목적: 최근 국내 규모 5.0이상의 지진으로 인한 피해 발생이 증가하고 있다. 지진이 발생하면 구조물 이외에도 내부설비, 전력기기 등에 피해를 주게 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 지진으로 인한 배전반과 같은 전기기기의 피해를 저감시킬 수 있는 이중 슬립마찰면이 있는 면진장치를 개발하였으며, 이에 대한 면진성능을 평가하였다. 연구방법: 면진성능을 평가하기 위해 진동대 시험을 수행하였으며, 면진장치 유무에 따른 성능비교를 수행하였다. 다양한 주파수와 가속도 수준에 대한 응답가속도 및 변위를 비교하여 면진장치의 감쇠효과를 분석하였다. 연구결과: 시험결과, 면진장치가 설치되어 있는 경우가 면진장치가 설치되어 있지 않은 경우보다 가속도 증폭이 최대 42% 작았다. 이는 면진장치의 이중슬립마찰면 사이에서 발생한 변위가 지진에너지를 소산하는 역할을 하여 증폭에너지가 감소된 것으로 판단된다. 결론: 이중 슬립마찰면을 적용한 면진장치는 약진보다는 강진에서 지진감쇠효과가 더 컸으며, 주파수가 클수록 지진감쇠효과가 더 좋았다. 따라서, 배전반과 같은 전기기기에 적용하여 지진에너지를 감쇠하는 작용을 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, a trade-off design and fabrication of IPMC(Ionic Polymer Metal Composites) as an actuator for a flapping device have been described. Experiments for the internal solvent loss of IPMCs have been conducted for various combinations of cation and solvent in order to find out the best combination of cation and solvent for minimal solvent loss and higher actuation force. From the experiments, it was found that IPMCs with heavy water as their solvent could operate longer. Relations between length/thickness and tip force of IPMCs were also quantitatively identified for the actuator design from the tip force measurement of 200, 400, 640, and $800{\mu}m$ thick IPMCs. All IPMCs thicker than $200{\mu}m$ were processed by casting $Nafion^{TM}$ solution. The shorter and thicker IPMCs tended to generate higher actuation force but lower actuation displacement. To improve surface conductivity and to minimize solvent evaporation due to electrically heated electrodes, gold was sputtered on both surfaces of the cast IPMCs by the Physical Vapor Deposition(PVD) process. For amplification of a short IPMC's small actuation displacement to a large flapping motion, a rack-and-pinion type hinge was used in the flapping device. An insect wing was attached to the IPMC flapping mechanism for its flapping test. In this test, the wing flapping device using the $800{\mu}m$ thick IPMC. could create around $10^{\circ}{\sim}85^{\circ}$ flapping angles and $0.5{\sim}15Hz$ flapping frequencies by applying $3{\sim|}4V$.

The gerotor type device is mainly used in low-speed, high-torque hydraulic motors, and is also applied as a small priming hydraulic pump. For this reason, many studies have been conducted to increase the efficiency of the gerotor pump. In this paper, we propose a new tooth profile design method different from the existing method. The new tooth design is made by modifying the tooth surface using the amplification function of the trajectories, created along the inner and outer rolling circles around the base circle. The shape of the mate rotor is then created using rotation simulation techniques. Such shapes are described as hypercloid. The designed hypercloid rotor is compared with the existing trochoid rotor, and the characteristics of the parameters and volumetric displacements are analyzed. Through this process, the optimum design with larger volumetric displacement than the existing rotor is achieved.
