A damage in structure alters its dynamic characteristics. The change is characterized by changes in the modal parameter, i.e., modal frequencies, modal damping value and mode shape associated with each modal frequency. Changes also occur in some of the structural parameters; namely, the mass, damping, stiffness matrices of the structure. In this paper, evaluation of changes in stiffness matrix of a structure is presented as a method not only for identifying the presence of the damage but also locating the damage. It is shown that changed stiffness matrix can be accurately estimated a sensitivity coefficient matrix derived from modifying mode shapes, First, with 4 story shear structure models, the effect of presence of damage in a structure on its stiffness matrix is studied. By using these analytical model, the effectiveness of using change of stiffness matrix in detecting and locating damages is demonstrated. To validate the predicted changing stiffness and its location, the obtained results are compared to the reanalysis result which shows good agreement.

지진과 관련있는 하중 속도에서 damping을 측정하기 위하여 합판과 목재 사이에 한개의 못을 사용한 접합에 대하여 조사 했다. 조사된 하중은 sine function 의 15Hz와 ASTM하중 속도 사이에서 행했다. Damping 율은 4Hz까지의 하중 속도에서는 증가를 보였으며 그후 15Hz 까지는 점진적으로 감소하였다. 강성은 높은 하중 범위에서 slip moduli가 지속적으로 증가 하였다. 낮은 하중 범위에서 2.5Hz까지 증가 하였으며 그후는 감소 하였다. Damping 율과 slip modulus는 하중 속도와 상관 관계가 낮은 반면 work capacity와 dissipated energy는 높은 상관 관계를 보았다.

In this paper the linearzed stiffness and damping coefficients of tilting pad thrust bearing are calculated by the perturbation method. The coefficients are obtained for a wide range of pivot positions. The effects of exciting frequency and pad mass on stiffness and damping coefficients are investigated. Critical frequencies due to the tilting motions of the pad are presented and are shown to be strongly influenced by the pivot position and pad mass.

The externally pressurized air journal bearings which have two circumferential grooves with inherently compensated restrictors are analyzed. Two circumferential grooves with restrictors are made on the bearing surface in order to increase the stiffness and damping coefficients. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics such as stiffness and damping coefficients of this type of bearings are calculated. As a result of theoretical analysis, it is verified that there exist the groove depth and the distance between two grooves which generate the maximum stiffness at the given bearing dimensions.

This paper deals with the design of a car seat for enhancing dynamic ride quality using a Biomechanical Model that was developed from the measured whole-body vibration characteristic. For evaluation of seat ride quality, the z-axis acceleration of floor as an input of biomechanical model was measured on a driving passenger car at highway and national road. Form the floor signal and the estimated biomechanical model, overall ride value evaluated by parameter study of seat stiffness and damping. The result shows that overall ride value decreases as the seat damping increases and the sear stiffness decreases. A lot of polyurethane foams were manufactured and tried to evaluate dynamic ride quality of a seat. It is found that stiffness and damping of a seat show a linear relationship, which means the stiffness and damping are not independent each other, So the optimal seat parameters within practically achievable space are determined.

In this study, the stiffness and damping coefficients of herringbone grooved air journal bearings are studied. A generalized coordinate transformation method to handle the complex geometry of incompressible fluid bearing is modified for compressible fluid. The modified equations are discretized by the base of finite difference method. A new computer program using Visual C++ language is developed. The load carrying capacity and stiffness and damping coefficients are calculated according to the design parameters like groove depth or the number of grooves and compared to that of plain air journal bearings.

An experimental method based on contact resonance is developed to extract the contact parameters of mechanical joints under various clamped conditions. Mechanical joint parameters of shear contact stiffness and damping were extracted for different physical joint parameters such as surface finish of the mating surfaces, the presence of lubrication, the effect of the clamping pressure, and shear load. It was found that the shear contact stiffness values decreased with increasing clamping load and increased with increasing shear loading. Contact damping ratio values were almost constant with clamping load, but decreased with increasing shear load. Moreover, rough surfaces exhibited the highest shear stiffness and contact damping compared to smooth surfaces.

In this paper, the characteristic dependencies of LRB(lead rubber bearing) were studied by various prototype tests on LRB for buildings. The characteristics of LRB were dependent on displacements, repeated cycles, frequencies, vertical pressures and temperatures. The prototype test showed that the displacement was the most governing factor influencing on characteristics of LRB. The effective stiffness and equivalent damping of LRB were decreased with large displacement, and increased with high frequency. After the repeated cyclic test with 50 cycles, the effective stiffness and equivalent damping of LRB were reduced by approximately 20% compared with those of the 1$^{st}$ cycle. The effective stiffness was decreased with high vertical pressure, while the equivalent damping was increased. In which, the equivalent damping was more dependent on the vertical pressure than the effective stiffness.s.

Hybrid semi-active control system is applied to improve the seismic peformance of the building structure against earthquake excitation and the LQR-based semi-active control algorithm is developed to tune the integrated stiffness/damping characteristics of the hybrid system complementarily. Numerical simulation for a 8-story shear building has been carried out to verify the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method. Analysis results showed that the hybrid system can be a compromising solution to the seismic response control problem, compared with conventional variable stiffness or variable damping systems. Comparison results proved that the proposed algorithm can perform refined tuning of the stiffness and damping coefficients of the hybrid semi-active control system better than sliding mode control algorithm.
