본 연구는 웻지 시스템을 이용하여 3축 방향의 진동 및 충격을 완화시킬 수 있는 감쇠기에 관한 것이다. 기존의 수직방향 진동/충격에 대해서만 흡진하는 디스크 스프링 완충기를 개선하여 웻지를 추가함으로써 종 방향은 물론 횡 방향을 모두 포함한 3축에 대해 흡진이 가능한 댐퍼를 제안하였다. 수학적 모델을 수립하여, 댐퍼내의 중요한 요소로 작동하는 디스크 스프링과 웻지의 특성을 고찰하였으며, 실험을 통해 댐퍼의 거동을 고찰하였다. 수치 해석 결과와 실험 결과가 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었고, 소산된 에너지양을 구한 후, 수직 수평방향에 대한 등가 점성 감쇠를 구하였다.

In near-fault earthquake prone areas, the velocity pulse-like seismic waves often results in excessive horizontal displacement for structures, which may result in severe structural failure during large or near-fault earthquakes. The recently developed isolator-gap damper (IGD) systems provide a solution for the large horizontal displacement of long period base-isolated structures. However, the hysteresis characteristics of the IGD system are significantly different from the traditional hysteretic behavior. At present, the hysteretic behavior is difficult to be reflected in the structural analysis and performance evaluation especially under random earthquake excitations for lacking of effective analysis models which prevent the application of this kind of IGD system. In this paper, we propose a mathematical hysteretic model for the IGD system that presents its nonlinear hysteretic characteristics. The equivalent linearization is conducted on this nonlinear model, which requires the variances of the IGD responses. The covariance matrix for the responses of the structure and the IGD system is obtained for random earthquake excitations represented by the Kanai-Tajimi spectrum by solving the Lyapunov equation. The responses obtained by the equivalent linearization are verified in comparison with the nonlinear responses by the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) analysis for random earthquake excitations.
