As resent trends in structural construction have been to build taller and larger structures than any time in the past, they have had high flexibility and low damping that can cause large vibration response under severe environmental loading such as earthquakes, winds, and mechanical excitations. The damper with mass and spring is one approach to safeguarding the structure against excessive vibrations. In this paper, the lumped electrical circuit approach of mass/spring system is used to model the mechanical aspects according to the frequency. Therefore, the mass/spring system can be dealt with here and linked with the equivalent circuit of electric linear oscillatory actuator(LOA). Analysis models are two types of vibration control system, active mass damper(AMD) and hybrid mass damper(HMD). AMD consists of the moving coil LOA with mass only The LOA of HMD with mass and spring is composed of the fixed coil and the movable permanent magnet(PM) field part. The PM field part composed magnet modules and iron coke, is the damper marts itself. We Present the motional resistance and reactance of mass/spring system and the system impedance of AMD and HMD according to the frequency.

To effectively cope with a complexity of kinematic metrology due to workspace enlargement of the planar stage, the linear induction motor is suggested as its new driving source. Especially, the linear induction motor under uniform plate type of secondary doesn't inherently have a periodical force ripple which is generally shown in the brushless DC motor. But, it presents a poor transient characteristic at zero or low speed zone owing to time delay of flux settling, resulting in slow response. To improve the servo property of linear induction motor and apply successfully it to the precision stage, this paper discusses a modified vector control methodology. The controller has a novel input form, fixed d-axis current, q-axis current and forward-fed DC current, to control thrust force and normal force of the linear induction motor independently. Influence of the newly introduced input and the feasibility of controller are validated experimentally.

Nowadays, the cartridge valve can be controlled proportionally in remote place by adopting proportional solenoid and it becomes widely used as control component in hydraulic systems. Especially, multi stage proportional valve is attractive because it consumes less input power though its characteristics might slightly be defected. But, the system parameter should be carefully chosen to obtain optimistic characteristics. This study concerning three stage proportional throttle control valve is purposed to examine the influences of paameters to the dynamic characteristics. The typical transient and frequency responses of proportional throttle control valve were inspected through the experiments and compared to those derived from the theoritical analyses. And it was confirmed that the analyses are appropriate. Then the influences of various system parameters to the dynamic characteristics were examined by means of simulations. For the analyses, the basic equations derived from lumped model were linearized and the linearized equations were transformed to the transfer functions between inputs and outputs. Then the transient responses and frequency responses were obtained from transfer functions. 1. It is appropriate to estimate the dynamic characteristics of valve which has relatively sophisticated structure by means of system analyses using linearized equations. 2. Though the valve has two pilot stages, fairly good characteristics can be obtained by carefully choosing system parameters. 3. Main valve very quickly follows the movement of second pilot valve when the parameters of main valve(the oil supply passage and discharge passage fpr second pilot valve) are appropriately chosen.

A numerical and experimental investigation was carried out on the single-phase natural circulation system. This study is concerned with the multiloop system which is relevant to the primary system of the pressurized water reactor. For numerical analysis, five time-dependent governing equations were derived using the one-dimensional lumped parameter model. These equations were discretized by the space-time integration technique, and a simplified computer program, SIMFARS, was developed to solve those discretized equations. Experiments were performed for two purposes-one is to validate the developed code, and the other is to understand the qualitative behavior of the natural circulation loop. Comparison of the computational results with experiments, and several experimental and numerical results are presented in this article.

An asymmetric actuator can be used to reduce the distance between the reflective mirror and objective lens of a small optical disk drive for use in the notebook-sized personal computer data storage devices. However, this asymmetric actuator is very sensitive to the subsidiary resonance which is caused by its rigid body motion. In this paper, an analytical approach using a simple lumped parameter system model is presented with a physical insight to investigate why the subsidiary resonance occurs. The finite element method is used to figure out the force and torque characteristics of the asymmetric actuator which are essential to understand the subsidiary vibration characteristics. The frequency responses are presented to examine how the subsidiary resonance is altered for various situations of having different thickness of a yoke and permanent magnet and of having a different magnet circuit. Finally, the design guidelines to avoid the subsidiary resonance will be presented.

A simplified method fur the eigenpair sensitivities of damped system with multiple eigenvalues is presented. This approach employs a reduced equation to determine the sensitivities of eigenpairs of the damped vibratory systems with multiple natural frequencies. In the proposed method, adjacent eigenvectors and orthonormal conditions are used to compute an algebraic equation whose order is (n+m)x(n+m), where n is the number of coordinates and m the number of multiplicity of multiple natural frequencies. The proposed method is an improved Lee and Jung's method which was developed previously. Two equations are used to find eigenvalue derivatives and eigenvector derivatives in Lee and Jung's method. A significant advantage of this approach over Lee and Jung's method is that one algebraic equation newly developed is enough to compute such eigenvalue derivatives and eigenvector derivatives. This method can be consistently applied to both structural systems with structural design parameters and mechanical systems with lumped design parameters. To demonstrate the theory of the proposed method and its possibilities in the case of multiple eigenvalues, the finite element model of the cantilever beam and 5-DOF mechanical system in the case of a non-proportionally damped system are considered as numerical examples. The design parameter of the cantilever beam is its height. and that of the 5-DOF mechanical system is a spring.

Due to the application of Integrated Head Assembly (IHA) in KSNP+ reactor design, an investigation of reactor internals integrity is carried out to assure that the adoption of IHA does not affect the safety of reactor operation. One of the postulated accident events is the R.V. closure head fall from 5.5m high directly above the reactor vessel that may occur during the refueling operation. The analysis model consists of lumped mass elements of the entire reactor vessel and internals. Because of extreme load, separate elastic-plastic analyses are done for the members that undergo plastic deformation. The analysis verified that the stresses of the reactor internals and the fuel assemblies are within the bound of allowable stress limits and the integrity of the fuel assemblies is maintained.

일반적으로 힘 제어는 힘 센서의 사용 여부에 따라 능동적 힘 제어와 피동적 힘 제어로 분류시킬 수 있다. 능동적 힘 제어는 힘 세서를 이용하여 구속력을 목표한 힘에 근접하도록 제어한다. 유연 매니퓨레이터의 함수(위치, 속도, 가속도)를 이용하여 일정한 힘에 근접하도록 제어한다. 유연 매티퓨레이터에 있어서 링크 선단의 강성 증대는 힘 제어뿐만이 아니라, 링크의 진동을 크게 유발함으로서 위치 제어에 불리하게 작용한다. 주로 사용되고 있는 힘 센서는 많은 변형 게이지(strain gauge)로 구성되어 있다. 유연 매니퓨레이터 또한 링크 선단의 변형을 측정하기 위해 변형 게이지를 사용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이점에 착안하여, 유연 매니퓨레이터의 선단의 탄성 변형을 측정하기 위해 장착한 변형 게이지를 이용한 위치/힘 제어를 제안한다. 먼저, 유연 매니퓨레이터의 집중 정수 모델로부터 링크의 탄성 변형과 구속력 관계를 도출한 후 이 관계를 이용하여 3차원 실험 유연 매니퓨레이터를 실시간 위치/힘 제어 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 범용 동력학 해석 소프트웨어인 ADAMS FEM 을 이용하여 해석하였다. 마지막으로, 실험 결과와 해석 결과를 비교 분석하여 본 논문에서 제안한 유연 매니퓨레이터의 위치/힘 제어의 타당성을 입증시켰다.

In this paper, a dynamic model for the rotor shaft-coupling-blade system was developed. The blades are attached to a disk and driven by an electric motor shaft which is flexible in torsion. We assumed that the shaft torsional flexibility was lumped in the flexible coupling which is usually adopted in rotor systems. The Lagrangian approach with the small deformation theory for both blade-bending and shaft-torsional deformations was employed for developing the equation of the motion. The Assumed Modes Method was used for estimating the blade transverse deflection. The numerical results highlight the effects of both structural damping of the system and the torsional stiffness of the flexible coupling to the dynamic response of the blade. The results showed strong coupling between the blade bending and shaft torsional vibrations in the form of inertial nonlinearity, stiffness hardening and softening.

A simplified method is presented for the computation of eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives associated with repeated eigenvalues. In the proposed method, adjacent eigenvectors and orthonormal conditions are used to compose an algebraic equation whose order is (n+m)x(n+m), where n is the number of coordinates and m is the number of multiplicity of the repeated eigenvalue. One algebraic equation developed can be computed eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives simultaneously. Since the coefficient matrix of the proposed equation is symmetric and based on N-space, this method is very efficient compared to previous methods. Moreover the numerical stability of the method is guaranteed because the coefficient matrix of the proposed equation is non-singular, This method can be consistently applied to both structural systems with structural design parameters and mechanical systems with lumped design parameters. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, the finite element model of the cantilever beam and a 5-DOF mechanical system in the case of a non-proportionally damped system are considered as numerical examples. The design parameter of the cantilever beam is its width, and that of the 5-DOF mechanical system is a spring.
