Flexure measurement of ring laser gyro was investigated by using an interferometer. A two-beam interferometer of Fiezo-fringe pattern obtained the flexure angle in 1-gravity acceleration and the higher acceleration environments. These environments were made with the addition of dummy mass to the ring laser gyro axis. The flexure angle change for 1-gravity acceleration change was measured as 2.37 arcsec/g with low repeatability error of 0.01 arcsec/g. The laser navigation system consisting of 3 flexure-reduced ring laser gyros showed the improvement of flexure error.

According to the fixation detailed drawing and lightweight anger tendency of the product the vibration control of precision equipments is essential and establishes under the equipments. so It is important to know vibration characteristics of vibration isolator. For this reason the accelerometer attaches in vibration isolator and measures an acceleration response. The acceleration response which is measured will lead double integral and will be able to predict a displacement of vibration isolator. However, in compliance with the effect of the accelerometer can not be accurately. From this paper, mass, damping ratio and natural frequency of the accelerometers by changing the vibration isolator to predict the acceleration response and the results were compared.

Offshore structures are subjected to wind loads, wind generated wave excitations, and current forces. In this paper we focus on the wind generated wave excitations as the main source for the external forces on the structure. The main objective of the paper is to provide a tool for using deck acceleration measurements to predict the value of the force and moment acting on the offshore structure foundation. A change in these values can be used as an indicator of the health of the foundation. Two methods of analysis are used to determine the relationship between the force and moment acting on the foundation and deck acceleration. The first approach uses neural networks while the other uses a Fokker-Planck formulation. The Fokker-Plank approach was used to relate the variance of the excitation to the variance of the deck acceleration. The total virtual mass of the equivalent SDOF of the structure was also determined at different deck masses.

In this paper, an observer-based adaptive controller is proposed to control the longitudinal motion of vehicles. The standard gradient method will be used to estimate the vehicle parameters, mass, time constant, etc. The nonlinear model between the driving force and the vehicle acceleration will be chosen to design the state observer for the vehicle velocity and acceleration. It will be shown that the proposed observer is exponentially stable, and that the adaptive controller proposed in this paper is stable. It will be proved that the errors of the relative distance, velocity and acceleration converge to zero asymptotically fast, and that the overall system is also asymptotically stable. The simulation results are presented to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A time-domain system identification (SI) method is developed for seismic damage assessment on structures. SI algorithms for complete measurements with respect to degrees-of-freedom are proposed. To take account of nonlinear dynamic response, an equation error in the incremental dynamic governing equation is defined for complete measurement between measured and computed acceleration. Variations of stiffness and damping parameters during earthquake vibration are chased by utilizing a constrained nonlinear optimization tool available in MATLAB. A simulation study has been carried out to identify damage event and to assess damage severity by using measured acceleration time history. Mass properties are assumed as known a priori. The effects of measurement noise on the identification are also investigated.

This paper describes the construction of a laminar box for simulating the earthquake response of soil and structures. The confinement of soil in the transverse direction does not rely on the laminar frame but is instead achieved by two acrylic glass walls. These walls allow the behaviour of soil during an earthquake to be directly observed in future study. The laminar box was used to study the response of soil with structure-footing-soil interaction (SFSI). A single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) structure and a rigid structure, both free standing on the soil, were utilised. The total mass and footing size of the SDOF and rigid structures were the same. The results show that SFSI considering the SDOF structure can affect the soil surface movements and acceleration of the soil at different depths. The acceleration developed at the footing of the SDOF structure is also different from the surface acceleration of free-field soil.

In this work it was studied that the effect on sub-component of engine considering change of engine inlet pressure caused by variable acceleration during flight of launcher. Also the transitional performance was predicted according to variable acceleration. Engine inlet pressure was defined as summation of propellant head in tank, ullage pressure and pressure difference of line, etc. Therefore consumption of propellant and acceleration of launcher led to change of engine inlet pressure, which affected on discharge pressure of pumps. This effect changed mass flow rate of gas generator and main combustor hence it was observed that engine performance was changed definitely.

A piezoresistive acceleration sensor for 30 G has been fabricated by silicon micromachining method using SDB(silicon direct bonding) wafer. The structure of the piezoresistive acceleration sensor consists of a seismic square pillar type mass and four beams. This structure was fabricated by reactive ion etching and chemical etching using KOH-etchant. The rectangular square structure is used in order to compensate the deformation of the edges due to underetching. The fabricated sensor showed a linear output voltage-acceleration characteristics and its sensitivity was about $88{\mu}V/V{\cdot}g$ from 0 to 10 G.

The seismic slope stability is most often evaluated by the pseudo-static limit analysis, in which the earthquake loading is simplified as static inertial loads acting in horizontal and/or vertical directions. The transient loading is represented by constant acceleration via the pseudostatic coefficients. The result of a pseudostatic analysis is governed by the selection of the value of the pseudostatic coefficient. However, selection of the value is very difficult and often done in an ad hoc manner without a sound physical reasoning. In addition, the maximum acceleration is commonly estimated from the design guideline, which cannot accurately estimate the dynamic response of a slope. There is a need to perform a 2D dynamic analysis to properly define the dynamic response characteristics. This paper develops the modified one-dimensional seismic site response analysis. The modified site response analysis adjusts the density of the layers to simulate the change in mass and weight of the layers of the slope with depth. Multiple analyses are performed at various locations within the slope to estimate the change in seismic response of the slope. The calculated peak acceleration profiles with depth from the developed procedure are compared to those by the two-dimensional analyses. Comparisons show that the two methods result in remarkable match.

We have constructed an acceleration sensor which is based on the maximum magnetic induction changes of amorphous wire as a measurand. The frequency bandwith of the constructed sensor depends on the mass of a sensing element. For $Co_{72.5}Si_{12.5}B_{15}$ amorphous wire, the bandwith is DC-700 Hz for $1{\times}10^{-3}kg$ sensing element and DC-200 Hz for $5{\times}10^{-3}kg$. The linearity of the acceleration sensor was less than 1% within the acceleration of 5 g.
