This study was performed to verify that the impact vibration test on the damaged concrete pier can be adopted for assessment of the bridge substructure integrity. Using the experimental modal analysis, the dynamic property changes of the concrete pier are investigated according to the damage levels which are modeled by the loss of cross section area of the pier body. As a result of the impact vibration test, it is found that the natural frequency of the bridge substructure is reduced due to the damage on the pier such as loss of cross section area, and the natural frequency can be used for assessment of the integrity index.

This study presents the validation of a numerical model developed for dynamic analysis of buildings with roller seismic isolation bearings. Experimental methods allowed validation of the motion equations of a physical model of a building with and without roller bearings under base excitation. The results are presented in terms of modal parameters, frequency response functions (FRFs) and acceleration response. The agreement between numerical and experimental results proves the accuracy of the developed numerical model. Finally, the performance of the constructed seismic protection system is assessed through a parametric study.

As for the safety evaluation of existing large-scale structures, methods for the estimation of structural and dynamic properties are studied. Sequential prediction error method in time domain and frequency response function estimators in frequency domain are examined. For this purpose, impact tests are performed on a steel frame structure with 2 bays and 3 floors. Results from both methods are found to be consistent to each others. However those from the finite-element analysis are slightly different from the experimental results. The discrepancies may be caused by the improper modeling of the complex behavior at the connection joints of the model structure.

건물의 진동에너지 소산능력을 향상하기 위하여 점탄성감쇠를 설치하게 되면 이른바 비비례 감쇠시스템이 되어 구조물은 복소수형태의 고유모드와 고유치를 가진다. 복소모드중첩법은 이러한 복소모드를 이용하여 중첩함으로써 비비례 감쇠시스템 구조물의 정확한 동적 거동을 얻을 수 있는 방법이다. 그러나 건물이 고층화되면 많은 자유도로 인하여 고유치해석 및 모드중첩과정에서 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 구조물의 모형화를 위하여 강막가정과 행렬응축기법을 적용하였다. 또한 몇 개의 주요 모드만을 선택하여 중첩하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였으며 구조물의 진동에 영향을 주는 모드의 선택을 위한 복소모드 응답참여계수를 제안하였다. 제안된 해석방법의 정확성과 효율성을 검토하기 위하여 예제 구조물을 대상으로 해석한 결과, 응답의 정확성을 유지하면서 해석에 필요한 시간을 대폭 절감할 수 있었다.

The blade is an important part of rotating turbomachinery. The blade dynamic strength is of considerable importance as far as the reliability of operation and the life of the engine ate concerned. In this paper, blades are attached to a disk and coupled by means of damping wire. We assumes that the interfaces between the blade and disk dovetails are joined together, which means surface-to-surface contacts without friction. The damping wire is implemented using a beam element and temperature effect in the blade is neglected. Centrifugal forces ale applied by using an angular velocity to all elements in the system. The FEM results showed vibration characteristics in the blade disk system for the cases of a free-standing blade and blades with damping wire, respectively.

Optimization of the collocated piezoceramic sensor/actuator placement is investigated numerically and verified experimentally for vibration control of laminated composite plates. The finite element method is used for the analysis of dynamic characteristics of the laminated composite plates with the piezoceramic sensor/actuator. The structural damping index(SDI) is defined from the modal damping(2$\omega$ζ) . It is chosen as the objective function for optimization. Weights for each vibrational mode are taken into account in the SDI calculation. The gradient method is used for the optimization. Optimum location of the piezoceramic sensor/actuator is determined by maximizing the SDI. Numerical simulation and experimental results show that the optimum location of the piezoceramic sensor/actuator is dependent upon the outer layer fiber orientations of the plate, and location and size of the piezoceramic sensor/actuator.

This paper presents the vibration characteristics of a continuous circular cylindrical shell multi-simply supported at arbitrary axial positions for searching design parameters. In this modal test the impulse test method is applied to the excitation of experimental model. Natural frequencies are obtained from the peak points of frequency response function(FRF) through frequency analyzer and vibration behaviors are investigated. FE analysis is performed with ANSYS 5.5 to improve the reliability of experimental results. Their results are compared with experimental results. The effect of dynamic characteristics is analyzed for the number of support point on the shell.

Complex systems are made of many subsystems, those are developed and manufactured by many part companies. Even though the information for a part is necessary to analyze the performance of the other part, it is not so easy to get the information for that part from other companies due to many reasons like security or compatibilities. If the modal parameters of a system between the connecting points are available, we can reconstruct a reduced model for that system in a physical coordinate not in a generalized coordinate. The assemble of the equations of motion for the main system and the reduced equations of motion for the connected system can give a response of the main system considering the effects of connected systems. The results show that the proposed method can give the response of a system accurately. The rule for the selection of modes is to use the fundamental modes whose natural frequencies are low.

This paper presents passive vibration control method to suppress train-induced vibration on a long-span steel arch bridge. According to the train load frequency analysis, undesirable resonance of a bridge will occur when the impact frequency of the train axles are close to the modal frequencies of the bridge. Because the first mode shape of the long-span steel arch bridge may take anti-symmetric shape along the bridge direction, however, the optimal control configuration for resonance suppression should be considered carefully In this study, bridge-vehicle element is used to estimate the bridge-train interaction precisely. From the numerical simulation of a loom steel arch bridge under TGV-K train loading, dynamic magnification influences are evaluated according to vehicle moving speed and efficient control system with passive dampers are presented in order to diminish the vertical displacement and vertical acceleration.

A pressurizer in a small integral type pressurized water reactor is located inside the upper region of the reactor vessel, and uses a space between the upper head of the reactor vessel and the upper region of the upper guide structure which is partially filled with fluid depending on the operating power. This new design requires a comprehensive investigation of vibration characteristics. This study investigates the modal characteristics of a pressurizer which uses a simplified cylindrical shell model, focusing on how having fluid in the shell affects vibration and response characteristics. In addition, an analysis of sloshing is performed and the response characteristics are addressed.
