The subsea power cables are increasingly important for harvesting renewable energies as we develop offshore wind farms located at a long distance from shore. Particularly, the continuous flexural motion of inter-array dynamic power cable of floating offshore wind turbine causes tremendous fatigue damages on the cable. As the subsea power cable consists of the helical structures with various components unlike a mooring line and a steel pipe riser, the fatigue analysis of the cables should be performed using special procedures that consider stick/slip phenomenon. This phenomenon occurs between inner helically wound components when they are tensioned or compressed by environmental loads and the floater motions. In particular, Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) can be generated by currents and have significant impacts on the fatigue life of the cable. In this study, the procedure for VIV fatigue analysis of the dynamic power cable has been established. Additionally, the respective roles of programs employed and required inputs and outputs are explained in detail. Demonstrations of case studies are provided under severely sheared currents to investigate the influences on amplitude variations of dynamic power cables caused by the excitation of high mode numbers. Finally, sensitivity studies have been performed to compare dynamic cable design parameters, specifically, structural damping ratio, higher order harmonics, and lift coefficients tables. In the future, one of the fundamental assumptions to assess the VIV response will be examined in detail, namely a narrow-banded Gaussian process derived from the VIV amplitudes. Although this approach is consistent with current industry standards, the level of consistency and the potential errors between the Gaussian process and the fatigue damage generated from deterministic time-domain results are to be confirmed to verify VIV fatigue analysis procedure for slender marine structures.

구조물의 특성치를 결정하기 위하여 18층 규모의 사무용 건물 3동에 대하여 자연진동 조건하에서 동적계측실험을 수행하였다. 대상건물은 기본적으로 보-기둥 골조시스템에 횡하중을 보다 효율적으로 지지하기 위하여 추가적으로 코아가 배치된 혼합 구조형식을 나타낸다. 매층 마다 측정한 일련의 진동기록으로부터 고유진동수, 모드형태 및 감쇠율 등과 같은 모달계수를 추출하기 위하여 최신 주파수- 및 시간영역-기반 응답의존 시스템판별법인 FDD, pLSCF 및 SSI를 적용하였다. 3방법에 의하여 추출한 결과는 대체로 일치하였으나, 초기 FE 해석결과와 비교하여 저차 3개 고유진동수는 대략 1.2~1.7배나 되는 단단한 거동을 나타냈다. 진동응답으로부터 추출된 값, 기준에서 제시하는 약산식 및 FE해석에 의하여 산정된 고유주기를 비교하여 보면, FE결과가 가장 유연한 거동을 예측하였으며, 높이를 변수로 하는 약산식이 추출된 값에 가장 근접한 결과를 나타냈다. 이러한 차이는 현재의 실험 추출치에는 콘크리트 균열 등과 같은 강성저감 요인을 포함하고 있지 않으며, 또한 FE 해석치는 비구조체 및 사용된 재료의 실제성능 등과 관련된 강성증가 요소를 포함하고 있지 않기 때문이다.

Early detection of small concrete crack or reinforcement corrosion is necessary for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Global vibration based methods are advantageous over local methods because of simple equipment installation and cost efficiency. Among vibration based techniques, FRF based methods are preferred over modal based methods. In this study, a new coupled method using frequency response function (FRF) and proper orthogonal modes (POM) is proposed by using the dynamic characteristic of a damaged beam. For the numerical simulation, wave finite element (WFE), coupled with traditional finite element (FE) method is used for effectively incorporating the damage related information and faster computation. As reported in literature, hybrid combination of wave function based wave finite element method and shape function based finite element method can addresses the mid frequency modelling difficulty as it utilises the advantages of both the methods. It also reduces the dynamic matrix dimension. The algorithms are implemented on a three-dimensional reinforced concrete beam. Damage is modelled and studied for two scenarios, i.e., crack in concrete and rebar corrosion. Single and multiple damage locations with different damage length are also considered. The proposed methodology is found to be very sensitive to both single- and multiple- damage while being computationally efficient at the same time. It is observed that the detection of damage due to corrosion is more challenging than that of concrete crack. The similarity index obtained from the damage parameters shows that it can be a very effective indicator for appropriately indicating initiation of damage in concrete structure in the form of spread corrosion or invisible crack.

The study presents the earthquake performance of the Bosphorus Bridge under multi-point earthquake excitation considering the spatially varying site-specific earthquake motions. The elaborate FE model of the bridge is firstly established depending on the new considerations of the used FEM software specifications, such as cable-sag effect, rigid link and gap elements. The modal analysis showed that singular modes of the deck and the tower were relatively effective in the dynamic behavior of the bridge due to higher total mass participation mass ratio of 80%. The parameters and requirements to be considered in simulation process are determined to generate the spatially varying site-specific ground motions. Total number of twelve simulated ground motions are defined for the multi-support earthquake analysis (Mp-sup). In order to easily implement multi-point earthquake excitation to the bridge, the practice-oriented procedure is summarized. The results demonstrated that the Mp-sup led to high increase in sectional forces of the critical components of the bridge, especially tower base section and tensile force of the main and back stay cables. A close relationship between the dynamic response and the behavior of the bridge under the Mp-sup was also obtained. Consequently, the outcomes from this study underscored the importance of the utilization of the multi-point earthquake analysis and the necessity of considering specifically generated earthquake motions for suspension bridges.

Time series of the dynamic response of a slender marine structure was predicted using quadratic Volterra series. The wave-structure interaction system was identified using the NARX(Nonlinear Autoregressive with Exogenous Input) technique, and the network parameters were determined through the supervised training with the prepared datasets. The dataset used for the network training was obtained by carrying out the nonlinear finite element analysis on the freely standing riser under random ocean waves of white noise. The nonlinearities involved in the analysis were both large deformation of the structure under consideration and the quadratic term of relative velocity between the water particle and structure in Morison formula. The linear and quadratic frequency response functions of the given system were extracted using the multi-tone harmonic probing method and the time series of response of the structure was predicted using the quadratic Volterra series. In order to check the applicability of the method, the response of structure under the realistic ocean wave environment with given significant wave height and modal period was predicted and compared with the nonlinear time domain simulation results. It turned out that the predicted time series of the response of structure with quadratic Volterra series successfully captures the slowly varying response with reasonably good accuracy. It is expected that the method can be used in predicting the response of the slender offshore structure exposed to the Morison type load without relying on the computationally expensive time domain analysis, especially for the screening purpose.

기동중인 헬리콥터는 공기역학적인 현상에 의하여 발생하는 불규칙 진동과 회전날개의 작동으로 인한 정현파 진동이 합성되어 발생하는 진동, 작업 및 착륙 시 발생하는 충격, 그리고 갑작스런 기동 시 발생하는 가속도와 같은 동적 하중에 노출 된다. 이때 발생하는 진동과 같은 동적 하중은 기체내부로 전달되어 헬리콥터운용에 필요한 전자장비를 가진 한다. 과거에 이러한 현상을 최소화하기 위하여 진동크기 감쇠시키기 위한 완충기를 전자장비의 장착대에 적용하여 왔다. 그러나 헬리콥터의 경우, 저주파에서 정현파 가진이 발생하므로 완충기 적용은 오히려 장착 플레이트 및 전자장비 부품의 파손을 발생시킬 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 완충기를 제거한 장착대를 동적 하중에 강건하며 전자장비에 전달되는 진동크기를 최소화 하도록 설계하였다. 완충기를 제거한 장착 대를 적용 시, 무게와 부피를 획기적으로 줄일 수 있으며 전자장비를 기체에 체결하는 나사 수가 적어짐에 따라 체결작업에 필요한 시간이 감소되는 장점을 갖는다. 최적화 해석에 적용되는 동적 하중을 선정하기 위하여 진동, 충격, 가속도하중을 비교 분석하여 가장 결정적인 동적 하중인 진동에 의한 하중을 선정하였다. 전체모델 유한요소 해석을 통하여 전자장비의 동적 거동을 분석하고 최적화 해석에 필요한 단순화 모델을 구축하였으며, 모달 테스트를 통해서 동특성을 검증하였다. 위상 최적화를 적용하여 강성대비 체적비가 큰 장착대의 형상을 도출한 후 고유진동수, 응력을 제약조건으로 무게가 최소화 되도록 하는 파라미터 최적화를 수행하여 장착대의 최종 형상 및 치수를 결정하였다. 개선모델은 체적 및 질량이 약 13 % 감소하였으며 사용시간은 규격대비 9.2배 증가하였다. 마지막으로 최적화된 장착대를 운용중인 실제 장비에 적용하여 진동환경에 대한 안정성을 평가하였다.

Incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) widely uses for the collapse risk assessment procedures of buildings. In this study, an IDA-based collapse risk assessment methodology is proposed, which employs a novel approach for detecting the near-collapse (NC) limit state. The proposed approach uses the modal pushover analysis results to calculate the maximum inter-story drift ratio of the structure. This value, which is used as the upper-bound limit in the IDA process, depends on the structural characteristics and global seismic responses of the structure. In this paper, steel midrise intermediate moment resisting frames (IMRFs) have selected as case studies, and their collapse risk parameters are evaluated by the suggested methodology. The composite action of a concrete floor slab and steel beams, and the interaction between the infill walls and the frames could change the collapse mechanism of the structure. In this study, the influences of the metal deck floor and autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) masonry infill walls with uniform distribution are investigated on the seismic collapse risk of the IMRFs using the proposed methodology. The results demonstrate that the suggested modified IDA method can accurately discover the near-collapse limit state. Also, this method leads to much fewer steps and lower calculation costs rather than the current IDA method. Moreover, the results show that the concrete slab and the AAC infill walls can change the collapse parameters of the structure and should be considered in the analytical modeling and the collapse assessment process of the steel mid-rise intermediate moment resisting frames.

현재 광디스크 드라이브는 오랜 기간 지속된 산업계의 데이터 전송률 경쟁을 통하여 10,000 rpm 이상의 고속으로 구동되고 있다. 고속 구동은 필연적으로 시스템의 진동을 유발하여 픽업의 데이터 읽기/쓰기 서보 제어에 외란을 야기하는데, 통상 진동외란은 방진고무를 통한 진동의 절연 및 서보 제어의 강인성 개선을 통해 해결되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산업계에서 일상으로 이루어지는 광디스크 드라이브 시스템의 동특성 개선에서 한걸음 더 나아가 광디스크의 동특성을 개선하는데 주목하였다. 이를 위하여 사출성형 공정해석을 수행하여 공정 조건(유량, 사출온도)이 잔류응력에 미치는 영향을 조사하였고, 이 잔류응력의 변화가 광디스크의 진동 모드 및 임계속도 즉, 동특성에 미치는 영향을 모달해석을 통해 살펴보았다. 이러한 일련의 과정을 통해 사출성형 시 발생하는 광디스크의 잔류응력을 제어하여 광디스크의 임계속도를 잔류응력이 없는 경우 대비 약 14.4% 높일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

An AMD control system is usually built based on the original model of a target building. As a result, the fact leads a large calculation workload exists. Therefore, the orders of a structural model should be reduced appropriately. Among various model-reduction methods, a suitable reduced-order model is important to high-rise buildings. Meanwhile, a partial structural information is discarded directly in the model-reduction process, which leads to the accuracy reduction of its controller design. In this paper, an optimal technique is selected through comparing several common model-reduction methods. Then, considering the dynamic characteristics of a high-rise building, an improved balanced truncation (BT) method is proposed for establishing its reduced-order model. The abandoned structural information, including natural frequencies, damping ratios and modal information of the original model, is reconsidered. Based on the improved reduced-order model, a new reduced-order controller is designed by a regional pole-placement method. A high-rise building with an AMD system is regarded as an example, in which the energy distribution, the control effects and the control parameters are used as the indexes to analyze the performance of the improved reduced-order controller. To verify its effectiveness, the proposed methodology is also applied to a four-storey experimental frame. The results demonstrate that the new controller has a stable control performance and a relatively short calculation time, which provides good potential for structural vibration control of high-rise buildings.
