점탄성감쇠기가 장치된 건물은 감쇠력과 강성이 증가하며 부가되는 감쇠력에 의하여 비고전적 감쇠시스템이 된다. 이러한 경우 비감쇠시스템에서 구한 고유값을 이용하여 감쇠행렬을 대각행렬로 변환할 수 없으므로 일반적으로 운동방정식을 2n크기 행렬의 1차 미분방정식 형태로 변환하여 해석하게 된다. 이러한 방법은 일반적인 고전적 감쇠시스템에 비해 복잡하므로 감쇠행렬의 비대각항을 무시하고 해석하는 방법이 이용되기도 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 근사적인 방법의 타당성과 이론적 근거를 검증하고 정해와 근사해법을 이용하여 3층 전단건물의 진동특성을 구하여 비교하였다. 결과에 따르면 부가되는 감쇠력이 작을 때는 근사해와 정해가 매우 근접하나 감쇠력이 커질수록 그 오차가 커지는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper deals with frequency analysis of Euler-Bernoulli beams carrying an arbitrary number of Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic dampers, subjected to harmonic loads. Multiple external/internal dampers occurring at the same position along the beam axis, modeling external damping devices and internal damping due to damage or imperfect connections, are considered. The challenge is to handle simultaneous discontinuities of the response, in particular bending-moment/rotation discontinuities at the location of external/internal rotational dampers, shear-force/deflection discontinuities at the location of external/internal translational dampers. Following a generalized function approach, the paper will show that exact closed-form expressions of the frequency response under point/polynomial loads can readily be derived, for any number of dampers. Also, the exact dynamic stiffness matrix and load vector of the beam will be built in a closed analytical form, to be used in a standard assemblage procedure for exact frequency response analysis of frames.

This paper presents the effects of partial dampers on the lateral vibration of beams. Both shear and normal stresses in the viscoelastic layer were studied. Analytical results were compared with those obtained by a finite element method. Effects of the size of partial dampers on the system loss factors and resonant frequencies were discussed.

This study investigates the feasibility of retrofitting an existing building by connecting the existing building to a new building using connecting dampers. The new building is base-isolated and viscoelastic dampers are assigned as connecting dampers. Scaled models are tested under three different earthquake records using a shaking table. The existing building and the new building are 9 and 8 stories respectively. The existing building model shows more than 3% increase in damping ratio. The maximum dynamic responses and the root mean square responses of the existing building model to earthquakes are substantially reduced by at least 20% and 59% respectively. Further, numerical models are developed by conducting time-history analysis to predict the performance of the proposed seismic mitigation system. The predictions agree well with the test results. Numerical simulations are carried out to optimize the properties of connecting dampers and base isolators. It is demonstrated that more than 50% of the peak responses can be reduced by properly adjusting the properties of connecting dampers and base isolators.

In this study, first, transformation process of damping ratios, whose are evaluated in active control analysis, into damping matrix resulting from installed viscous dampers is illustrated. Then, a method is followed to maximize the effect of response reduction, which leads to optimum locations and size of viscous dampers using sensitivity analysis. Highly coupled nonlinearity between damping ratios and dampers makes it hard to find the optimal size of dampers. Therefore, the nonlinearity is transformed to linear problem with small increments of damping ratios and the size of dampers can be found. However, there are many cases for the size of dampers satisfying the small increment of damping ratios, so it is necessary to select minimum size using optimization technique. To determine optimum locations of dampers, dampers are assumed to be installed between the different stories and their locations are selected corresponding corresponding to the degree of damping size. Numerical examples for the frame structure and the shear wall structure show that optimum locations and size of dampers are different form each other depending on the characteristics of modal responses of the structures. The proposed method in this study can be applied to get optimum locations of active controller in the active control.

This thesis investigates vibration response characteristics of building frames in which dampers are installed. The frames belong to passively vibration-controlled. Structures which utilizes energy dissipation of mechanical dampers provided in the structure. In this thesis, a turbulent flow damper sealed by visco-elastic material was dealt with as the device of passive vibration control. To investigate the resisting force characteristics of the damper, harmonic vibratration tests were carried out. Based on the test results, a theoretical model of the damper resistance was presented and a method of identifying the model parameters was proposed. Shaking table tests of the frame with and without the dampers were carried out and the effectiveness of the damper was examined. The response of the frame with the dampers was reduced to 1/2 or 1/3 of the cases without the damper.

Based on classical viscoelastic damper, a brand-new damper is designed by the change of simple construction to implement vibration control for both translational vibration and rotational vibration simultaneously. Theoretic analysis has been carried out on the restoring force model and the control parameters. Two improved models are presented to obtain high simulation precision. The influence of the size, shape of the viscoelastic material, the ambient temperature and the response frequency on the vibration control effect is analyzed. The numerical results show that the new type viscoelastic damper is capable of mitigating the multi-dimensional seismic response of offshore platform and the response control effect has complicated relations with aforementioned related factors.

As a seismic damper the viscoelastic damper is known the effective method to control the drift of the flexible building. As the viscoelastic damper has the characteristics of both damping and stiffness specially when the rubber material used hysteretic damping. The behavior of the hysteretic damping is quite different from that of the viscous damping. For the evaluation of the viscoelastic damper for the seismic purpose the nonlinear response spectrum was generated based on the dynamic test of the viscoelastic damper and the results is compared to that of the typical linear response spectrum,

This study investigates the seismic responses of two structures connected by sky-bridges equipped with viscoelastic dampers (VED) in the bridge-building connections. The applicability of the method is verified first by computing RMS responses of two-degrees-of-freedom systems subjected to white noise ground excitation. Then model structures with various number of stories are analyzed using EL CENTRO earthquake excitation to observe the effect of the varying size of VED on reduction of responses. According to the analysis results, there exists a proper size of VED which minimizes the structural responses. It is also observed that the effectiveness of VED increases as the difference of natural frequencies between the two connected structures increases.

본 연구에서는 진동제어를 목적으로 강성이 비대칭적으로 분포된 구조물에 점탄성 감쇠기를 설치할 경우 비틀림 응답을 줄이기 위한 감쇠기의 효과적인 배치방법에 관하여 연구하였다. 비대칭 구조물의 응답에 미치는 점탄성 감쇠기의 효과를 알아보기 위하여 비대칭 비비례감쇠시스템의 특성방정식을 유도하고, 고유치해석을 통해 감쇠기가 설치된 비틀림 건물의 거동특성을 파악하였다. 이를 바탕으로 강성 편심 및 진동수비에 따른 최적 감쇠 편심을 찾아 이를 3차원 그래프로 나타내었다. 이를 이용하여 비대칭건물에 감쇠기를 설치했을 때 같은 양의 감쇠기를 대칭으로 설치하였을 때 보다 그 효과가 더욱 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 비대칭 건물의 비틀림제어면에서 점탄성 감쇠기가 점점 감쇠기보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
