A nuclear power plant (NPP) piping is designed against low-frequency earthquakes. However, earthquakes that can occur at NPP sites in the eastern part of the United States, northern Europe, and Korea are high-frequency earthquakes. Therefore, this study conducts bi-directional shaking table tests on actual-scale NPP piping and studies the response characteristics of low- and high-frequency earthquake motions. Such response characteristics are analyzed by comparing several responses that occur in the piping. Also, based on the test results, a piping numerical analysis model is developed and validated. The piping seismic performance under high-frequency earthquakes is derived. Consequently, the high-frequency excitation caused a large amplification in the measured peak acceleration responses compared to the low-frequency excitation. Conversely, concerning relative displacements, strains, and normal stresses, low-frequency excitation responses were larger than high-frequency excitation responses. Main peak relative displacements and peak normal stresses were 60%-69% and 24%-49% smaller in the high-frequency earthquake response than the low-frequency earthquake response. This phenomenon was noticeable when the earthquake motion intensity was large. The piping numerical model simulated the main natural frequencies and relative displacement responses well. Finally, for the stress limit state, the seismic performance for high-frequency earthquakes was about 2.7 times greater than for low-frequency earthquakes.

A procedure to determine the realizable optimal positions of rigid supports is suggested to get a maximum fundamental natural frequency. a measured frequency response function based substructure-coupling technique is used to model the supported structure. The optimization procedure carries out the eigenvalue sensitivity analysis with respect to the stiffness of supports. As a result of such stiffness optimization, the optimal rigid-support positions are shown to be determined by choosing the position of the largest stiffness. The optimally determined support conditions are verified to satisfy the eigenvalue limit theorem. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the optimal support positions of a plate model are investigated. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can effectively find out the optimal support conditions of the structure just based on the measured frequency response functions without any use of numerical model of the structure.

One of the important characteristics of the response of nonlinear systems is the existence of subharmonic resonances. When some conditions in parameter space are satisfied. It is possible even in the presence of damping for a periodically excited nonlinear system to possess a response which is the combination of a contribution at the excitation frequency and a component at the system natural frequency. The system natural frequency being a submultiple of the excitation frequency implies that the resulting response is a subharmonic oscillation. In general, there also co-exists, for the system, a response at the excitation frequency, and initial conditions determine which of the steady-state responses is achieved in an experiment or a numerical simulation. In single-degree-of-freedom systems with harmonic excitation, depending on the type of the nonlinearity, e.g., cubic or quadratic the frequency of subharmonic response is respectively, one-third or one-half of that of the excitation frequency. Although subharmonic resonance is one of the principal characteristics of a nonlinear system the subharmonic responses of structures in the presence of internal resonances have been studied very rarely. In this work, we consider subharmonic responses in the two-mode approximation of the plate equations. It is assumed that the two modes are in one-to-one internal resonance. Constant and periodic steady-state solutions of the averaged equations are studied. Finally, the results of direct time integration of the original equations of motion are presented and compared with those obtained from the averaged equations.

To study the frequency response characteristics of alternating-current-driven organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), we fabricated blue-fluorescent OLEDs and analyzed their electroluminescent characteristics according to the alternating current voltage and frequency. The luminance-frequency characteristics of alternating-current-driven OLED was similar to that of a low-pass filter, and the luminance of high-voltage OLED decreased at higher frequency than low-voltage OLED. The luminance characteristics of the OLED according to the frequency is due to the capacitive reactance in the OLED, generated during the alternating current driving. The frequency response characteristics of the OLED according to the voltage is due to the decrease in internal resistance of the organic layer. In addition, the negative voltage component of the alternating current did not affect the frequency response of the OLED. Therefore, the electroluminescent characteristics of OLED with an alternating current power of 60 Hz are not influenced by the frequency.

A 2-D digital filter with rational frequency response can be expanded into an infinite sequence of filterins operations. Each filtering operation can be implemented by convolution with a Low-order 20D finite-extent impulse response. If a convergence constraint is satisfied, the sequence of estimates will approach the desired output signal. In practice, as the number of iterations is finite, the frequency response implemented by iterative computations is an approximation to the desired rational frequency response.

마이크로폰의 주파수 응답 특성은 마이크로폰이 레벨 허용 범위로 재생할 수 있는 주파수 범위를 나타내는 것으로, 마이크로폰이 가지고 있는 특성을 평가하는 기준으로 사용되는 가장 중요한 음향 특성 파라메타 중의 하나이다. 이와 같은 마이크로폰의 주파수 응답 특성을 측정하기 위한 기존의 방법들은 그 측정 조건이 매우 까다로울 뿐만 아니라, 고가의 장비를 사용하여 측정하여야 한다는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 마이크로폰의 주파수 응답 특성을 간단하게 측정할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 컴퓨터로 생성한 Optimized Aoshima's Time Stretched Pulse(OATSP) 신호를 표준 스피커를 통하여 발생시킨 다음, 측정하고자 하는 마이크로폰으로 수음된 신호와 역 OATSP 신호를 컨볼루션시켜 마이크로폰의 임펄스 응답을 측정하고, 이 신호를 이용하여 측정할 마이크로폰의 주파수 응답 특성을 구하는 방범이다. 제안한 알고리즘의 성능 평가는 제안한 알고리즘을 이용하여 구한 마이크로폰의 주파수 응답 특성 측정값과 그들이 갖고 있던 주파수 응답 특성 데이터를 비교 분석하였다. 비교 결과, 측정한 각각의 마이크로폰 주파수 응답 특성들 사이에 오차가 발생하였으나, 오차가 그 측정값들이 허용 오차(${\pm}3{\sim}{\pm}5dB$) 범위에 내에 있었으므로 제안한 알고리즘이 마이크로폰의 주파수 응답 특성을 측정하기에 적합한 방법임을 입증하였다.

This paper presents a scheme for experimentally analyzing bounce, roll and pitch frequencies of major systems of a large truck using a multi-axial road simulator. The excitation input (amplitude and frequency range) fur a frequency response test with the multi-axial road simulator is selected in order that bounce, roll and pitch modes are not coupled each other, the excitation amplitude can be reproduced in a specified excitation frequency range, and tires do not lose contact with posters. Three accelerometers, one gyroscope and four displacement meters are used in the frequency response test using the multi-axial road simulator. The reliability of the presented bounce mode frequency response test scheme is validated by comparing the result from a test using the multi-axial road simulator with the result from a road driving test. The road driving test is performed with velocities of 20km/h and 30km/h, and in an unladen state. The vertical accelerations at the cab and the front axle are measured in the road driving test. The roll and pitch mode frequency response tests are also performed with the presented frequency response test scheme. Roll and pitch frequencies of major systems of a large truck that are hard to acquire from a road driving test are analyzed as well as bounce frequency.

신규 센서의 성능과 노후화된 센서의 성능 평가를 하는 것은 지진 감시 및 지진연구에 있어서 매우 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 특히 센서 주파수 응답은 지진자료의 보정을 위해서 필수적으로 사용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 주파수 스펙트럼비를 이용한 지진 기록계의 보정 방법과 시간영역 대역통과필터(bandpass filter)와 힐버트(Hilbert) 변환을 이용한 지진계 주파수 응답을 계산하는 방법을 제시하고자 하였다. 실내 진동대 실험에서 가속도 센서(CMG-5T 1g, 2g 센서)를 설치하고 제안된 방법으로 센서 주파수 응답스펙트럼을 구하였을 때 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 2011년 도호쿠 대지진에 대하여 서울대학교 관측소(SNU)의 STS-2와 ES-T에서 얻어진 자료에 대하여 제안된 방법을 적용한 결과 STS-2 광대역 센서의 저주파수 대역에 대한 주파수 응답을 얻을 수 있었다. 대역통과필터와 힐버트 변환 방법을 이용할 경우, 주파수 스펙트럼비를 이용한 방법보다 신호대 잡음이 낮은 부분에서도 명확한 주파수 응답스펙트럼을 보여주었다.

In this work, a frequency domain method is tested numerically and experimentally to improve nonlinear model parameters using the frequency response function at the nonlinear element connected point of structure. This method extends the force-state mapping technique, which fits the nonlinear element forces with time domain response data, into frequency domain manipulations. The force-state mapping method in the time domain has limitations when applying to complex real structures because it needd a time domain lumped parameter model. On the other hand, the frequency domain method is relatively easily applicable to a complex real structure having nonlinear elements since it uses the frequency response function of each substurcture. Since this mehtod is performed in frequency domain, the number of equations required to identify the unknown parameters can be easily increased as many as it needed, just by not only varying excitation amplitude bot also selecting excitation frequency domain method has some advantages over the classical force-state mapping technique in the number of data points needed in curve fit and the sensitivity to response noise.

If the accelerometers are used in measuring the response, the absolute values of the velocity and displacement are not usually obtainable because their initial values are not accounted for in the integration of the acceleration response. A new dynamic response conversion algorithm of both the time domain and the frequency domain is proposed for the problem in estimating the displacement data by defining the transformed responses. In this algorithm, the displacement response can be obtained from the measured acceleration records by integration without requiring the knowledge of the initial velocity and displacement information. The applicability of the technique is tested by an example problem using the real bridge's superstructure under several cases of moving load. In the response conversion procedure of the frequency domain, the identified response according to the frequency can be estimated by changing over the limits of integration. If the reliability of the identified responses is ensured, it is expected that the proposed method for estimating the impact factor can be useful in the bridge's dynamic test. This method can be useful in those practical cases when the direct measurement of the displacement is difficult as in the dynamic studies of huge structure.
