In this paper the tuned mass-damper-inerter (TMDI) is considered for passive vibration control and energy harvesting in harmonically excited structures. The TMDI couples the classical tuned mass-damper (TMD) with a grounded inerter: a two-terminal linear device resisting the relative acceleration of its terminals by a constant of proportionality termed inertance. In this manner, the TMD is endowed with additional inertia, beyond the one offered by the attached mass, without any substantial increase to the overall weight. Closed-form analytical expressions for optimal TMDI parameters, stiffness and damping, given attached mass and inertance are derived by application of Den Hartog's tuning approach to suppress the response amplitude of force and base-acceleration excited single-degree-of-freedom structures. It is analytically shown that the TMDI is more effective from a same mass/weight TMD to suppress vibrations close to the natural frequency of the uncontrolled structure, while it is more robust to detuning effects. Moreover, it is shown that the mass amplification effect of the inerter achieves significant weight reduction for a target/predefined level of vibration suppression in a performance-based oriented design approach compared to the classical TMD. Lastly, the potential of using the TMDI for energy harvesting is explored by substituting the dissipative damper with an electromagnetic motor and assuming that the inertance can vary through the use of a flywheel-based inerter device. It is analytically shown that by reducing the inertance, treated as a mass/inertia-related design parameter not considered in conventional TMD-based energy harvesters, the available power for electric generation increases for fixed attached mass/weight, electromechanical damping, and stiffness properties.

The tied braced frame (TBF) system was developed to achieve uniform seismic inelastic demand along the height of multi-storey eccentrically braced steel frames. A modular tied braced frame (M-TBF) configuration has been recently proposed to reach the same objective while reducing the large axial force demand imposed on the vertical tie members connecting the link beams together in TBFs. M-TBFs may however experience variations in storey drifts at levels where the ties have been removed to form the modules. In this paper, the possibility of reducing the discontinuity in displacement response of a 16-storey M-TBF structure by introducing energy dissipating (ED) devices between the modules is examined. Two M-TBF configurations are investigated: an M-TBF with two 8-storey modules and an M-TBF with four 4-storey modules. Three types of ED devices are studied: friction dampers (FD), buckling restrained bracing (BRB) members and self-centering energy dissipative (SCED) members. The ED devices were sized such that no additional force demand was imposed on the discontinuous tie members. Nonlinear response history analysis showed that all three ED systems can be used to reduce discontinuities in storey drifts of M-TBFs. The BRB members experienced the smallest peak deformations whereas minimum residual deformations were obtained with the SCED devices.

PDP 유지전원단을 위한 고효율을 갖는 새로운 페이지 쉬프트 풀브릿지 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 Rectifier로 Voltage Doubler를 사용함으로서, 큰 사이즈의 Output Inductor가 없게 되어 간단한 구조를 가지게 되며 Rectifier Diodes의 전압 스트레스가 출력전압으로 클램핑되어서 스너버회로가 필요없다는 장점을 가지게 된다. 또한 넓은 영전압 스위칭 구간을 가지며, 트랜스포머의 기생성분인 Leakage 인덕터와 Voltage doubler의 캐패시터간의 공진을 이용함으로서 전류가 작은 RMS값을 가지게 되어서 낮은 도통손실과 Rectifier Diode의 전류 스트레스 또한 낮다는 장점을 가지게 된다. 본 논문을 통해 제안된 컨버터의 동작원리와 해석, 실험을 수행하였다.

이 논문은 최근 자연과학 분야에서는 물론이요 사회과학과 더불어 인문예술 영역에 이르는 방대한 학문 영역에서 영향력을 행사하고 있는 복잡계 패러다임의 특성과 전망을 고찰하고자 한 것이다. 흔히 '전체론적 세계관'이라든가 '심층생태학적 관점' 등으로 대변되는 복잡성 패러다임은 개방체계적 사고의 연장선상에 위치한 것으로서, 일차적으로는 개방성, 성장성, 가형성, 否(부)의 엔트로피, 적극적 환류, 자기규제성, 자기목적성, 등종착성과 같은 개방체계적 속성을 함유한다. 그러나 지난 20여 년간 학제적 경계를 초월해 활발히 진전된 복잡계론은 종전의 개방체계론적 논의 수준을 넘어서는 새로운 착상이나 증거를 지속적으로 축적해 온 바, 여기서는 (1) 복잡계 이론이 형성되고 발전되어온 전개과정을 간략히 개관하고, (2) 비평형성, 비선형성, 소산구조 자기조직성, 프랙탈 기하학, 자동생산성 및 공진화와 같은 복잡계의 주요 특성들을 논의하며, (3) 니클라스 루만의 체계이론을 사례로 복잡계 패러다임의 사회과학적 적용을 검토한 후, (4) 복잡계 패러다임의 함의와 전망을 진단해 보고자 한다.
