The usage of conventional tuned mass damper (TMD) was proved as an effective method for passive mitigating vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of a bridge deck. Although a variety of linear TMD systems have been so far utilized for vibration control of suspension bridges, a sensitive TMD mechanism to wind spectrum frequency is lacking. Here, we introduce a bistable tuned mass damper (BTMD) mechanism which has an exceptional sensitivity to a broadband input of vortex shedding velocity for suppressing VIV in suspension bridge deck. By use of the Monte Carlo simulation, performance of the nonlinear BTMD is shown to be more efficient than the conventional linear TMD under two different wind load excitations of harmonic (sinusoidal) and broadband input of vortex shedding. Consequently, an appropriate algorithm is proposed to optimize the design parameters of the nonlinear BTMD for Kap Shui Mun Bridge, and then the BTMD system is localized for the interior deck of the suspension bridge.

The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of soleus muscle atrophy in rats due to 28 days of decreased activity induced by hindlimb suspension, to observe the restoration of mass and relative muscle weight of the atrophied soleus muscle at day 28 of recovery to control value, and to compare the effect of run training on the mass and relative muscle weight of the atrophied soleus muscle at day 28 of recovery with that of sedentary rats. Adult female Wistar rats were maintained for 28 days with hindlimb suspension. Rats were then assigned randomly to a cage sedentary or running group. Soleus muscle mass and relative muscle weight following hindlimb suspension were compared with a control value. The soleus muscle mass and relative muscle weight of the running and cage sedentary groups following hindlimb suspension were compared with those of a control group. Soleus muscle mass and relative muscle weight of the run training group were compared with those of cage sedentary group. The results obtained were as follows : 1. Soleus muscle mass and relative muscle weight was reduced to 53.28% and 51.11% respectively by hindlimb suspension. 2. Soleus muscle mass and relative muscle weight of the training group t day 28 of recovery was restored to the control value. 3. Soleus muscle mass of the training group was greater than that of the cage sedentary group by 6.6% without statistical significance at day 28 of recovery. 4. Relative soleus muscle weight of the traning group was significantly greater than that of the cage sedentary group by 15.79% From these results, it may be concluded that run training during the posthypokinetic period facilitates the recovery of the atrophied soleus muscle mass of rats.

Passive control of the flutter condition of suspension bridges using a combined vertical and torsional tuned mass damper (TMD) system is presented. The proposed TMD system has two degrees of freedom, which are tuned close to the frequencies corresponding to vertical and torsional symmetric modes of the bridge which get coupled during flutter. The bridge-TMD system is analyzed for finding critical wind speed for flutter using a finite element approach. Thomas Suspension Bridge is analyzed as an illustrative example. The effectiveness of the TMD system in increasing the critical flutter speed of the bridge is investigated through a parametric study. The results of the parametric study led to the optimization of some important parameters such as mass ratio, TMD damping ratio, tuning frequency, and number of TMD systems which provide maximum critical flutter wind speed of the suspension bridge.

In this paper, a modified skyhook control for the semi-active Macpherson suspension system is investigated. A new model for the semi-active type suspension, which incorporates the rotational motion of the unsprung mass, is introduced and an output feedback control law using the skyhook control method is derived. The gains in the skyhook controller are adaptively adjusted by estimating the road conditions. Because two vertical acceleration sensors, one for the sprung mass and another for the unsprung mass, are used rather than using the angle sensor for the rotational motion of the control arm, the relative velocity of the rattle space is filtered using the acceleration signals. For testing the control performance, the actual damping force has been incorporated via the hardware-in-the-loop simulations. The performances of a passive damper and a semi-active damper are compared. Simulation results are provided.

진동타입기에 의한 진동시스템에 대하여 서스펜션이 없는 경우와 서스펜션이 있는 경우에 대한 해석해를 나타내고 서스펜션이 진동시스템에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 해석결과에 따르면 서스펜션이 있는 진동타입기의 진폭은 서스펜션이 없는 경우에 비해 서스펜션의 질량이 증가할수록 지반의 댐핑값이 감소할수록 증가하였다. 서스펜션이 있는 진동 타입기에 대해 해석을 통해 유도된 일률을 설계기준에 의한 일률과 비교해본 결과 일률은 지반의 댐핑값에 따라 최대값까지 증가했다가 감소함을 알 수 있었고 최대 일률값은 서스펜션의 질량이 커짐에 따라 증가함을 알 수 있었는데 일률은 설계기준에 의한 일률보다는 항상 작게 나타났다.

This study was intended to determine the inertia , damping and stiffness properties of the cab-suspension of agricultural tractors by applying the direct system identification method (DSIM). Since the rigid and elastic modes of the cab-suspension are not likely to be separated clearly, direct application of the DSIM may result in large computation error. To solve such a problem, a method of locating mass center of the cab were determined by assuming the behavior of the cab-suspension is a rigid body motion. The dynamic parameters of the cab-suspension were then determined by applying the DSIM with the known coordinates of the mass center. The constraints of spatial matrices of the cab-suspension also make the algorithm for the DSIM perform better. The values of dynamic parameters determined by this method agreed well with those determined by the experiment.

수평 여과매체를 사용한 케이크 여과에서는 침전이 수반된다. 이 침전 현상을 고려하지 않을 경우 여과기간의 케이크 평균비저항 값이 두 배 이상까지도 잘못 측정될 수 있다. 저자의 전번 논문에서는 여과기간에 침전으로 인해 케이크에 들어가는 현탁액의 고체분율이 변화한다는 것을 이론적으로 주장하였으나, 그 변화가 어느 정도인지를 알아내지 못하였다. 이 논문에서는 먼저 여과-투과 실험방법에 대한 분석에서 투과기간에 측정된 케이크 평균비저항 값이 옳다는 것을 여러 방법으로 증명하고, 여과기간에 통상적인 방법으로 측정된 평균비저항 값은 여과가 진행되는 순간의 현탁액의 고체분율 대신 초기 고체분율을 사용하므로 정확하지 못하다는 것을 입증하였다. 여과와 투과에서 측정된 실험값을 사용하여, 여과 진행 동안 침전에 의해 변화한 현탁액의 고체분율을 계산하였다. 그 후 여과 진행 동안 측정한 현탁액의 높이 변화 값과 이 논문에서 새로 만든 수식을 사용하여 여과 진행 중의 현탁액 고체분율을 결정하였다. 두 가지 방법으로 결정된 현탁액의 고체분율을 비교하여 두 가지가 거의 일치함을 입증하였다.

Active suspension controls stiffness and damping between unsprung mass and sprung mass in order to increase the ride quality. However, to increase the riding quality, the handling quality should be decreased and the rattle space should be increased. So, active suspension should cope with these conflict conditions. Therefore its actuating devices have to produce sufficient actuating force and have sufficiently short response time. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of 1/4 car model with an active suspension is studied according to hydraulic design variables. The active suspension consists of a hydraulic servo valve and a hydraulic cylinder. It shows better performance when it has more powerful and faster actuator.

In this paper, an active suspension system considering the wheel hop is studied for a quarter car model. A LQ controller controls an active suspension system in which a vibration absorber is attached to the wheel axis. The vibration absorber is adopted to reduce the vibration near the natural frequency of the unsprung mass, and the LQ controller is used to control the vibration near the natural frequency of the sprung mass. The perfomance of the control system considering the wheel hop is compared with that of a LQ control system.
