포항 신항에서 파향·파고계 및 수압식 파고계를 사용하여 단주기파 및 장주기파에 대하여 약 1.5개월동안 현장관측을 실시하고 그 기간 동안의 바람 및 downtime기록도 분석하여 포항신항의 downtime의 원인에 대해 종합적으로 분석하였다. 자료 분석 결과 과거 수치실험에 의한 정온도 평가는 포항신항의 정온도를 보다 안전측으로 예상하였을 것으로 사료된다. 포항신항내 downtime의 원인은 입사파 주기에 관계없이 항외파고가 큰 경우와 파고가 전자에 비해 작더라도 주기가 10초 이상의 너울인 경우의 두 가지로 분석되었다. 한편, 포항신항내 장주기 파고는 주기 수 분 이상의 부진동이 뚜렷한 경우 항의 구석진 부분에서 20cm전후로 상당히 크나 downtime과는 큰 관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다

Column is usually floating on the stone base directly with or without positioning tenon in traditional Chinese timber structure. Vertical load originated by the heavy upper structure would induce large friction force and compression force between interfaces of column foot and stone base. This study focused on the mechanical behaviors of column foot joint with consideration of the influence of vertical load. Mechanism of column rocking and stress state of column foot has been explored by theoretical analysis. A nonlinear finite element model of column foot joint has been built and verified using the full-scale test. The verified model is then used to investigate the mechanical behaviors of the joint subjected to cyclic loading with different static vertical loads. Column rocking mechanism and stress distributions of column foot were studied in detail, showing good agreement with the theoretical analysis. Mechanical behaviors of column foot joint and the effects of the vertical load on the seismic behavior of column foot were studied. Result showed that compression stress, restoring moment and stiffness increased with the increase of vertical load. An appropriate vertical load originated by the heavy upper structure would produce certain restoring moment and reset the rocking columns, ensuring the stability of the whole frame.

This paper numerically investigates the feasibility of an active mass damper (AMD) system using the time delay control (TDC) algorithm, which is one of the robust and adaptive control algorithms, for effectively suppressing the excessive vibration of a building structure under wind loading. Because of its several attractive features such as the simplicity and the excellent robustness to unknown system dynamics and disturbance, the TDC algorithm has the potential to be an effective control system for mitigating the vibration of civil engineering structures such as buildings and bridges. However, it has not been used for structural response reduction yet. In this study, therefore, the active control method combining an AMD system with the TDC algorithm is first proposed in order to reduce the wind-induced vibration of a building structure and its effectiveness is numerically examined. To this end, its stability analysis is first performed; and then, a series of numerical simulations are conducted. It is demonstrated that the proposed active structural control system can effectively reduce the acceleration response of the building structure.

친환경 에너지원 개발에 관한 관심이 증가하면서, 해상풍력발전기 시장은 매년 높은 증가율을 보이면서 성장하고 있다. 이와 맞물려 대용량 해상풍력발전기를 설치할 수 있는 설치선의 수요 또한 급증하고 있다. 풍력발전기 설치 선박(Wind Turbine Installation Vessel)은 설치 및 해체를 위하여 레그(Leg)와 스퍼드캔(Spudcan)을 해저면에 관입시켜서 고정하며, 이때 스퍼드캔 구조 강도 안전성에 대한 검토는 전체 시스템과 연관된 중요한 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 현재 선급에서 제시하고 있는 절차서를 분석하고, 실제 발생할 수 있는 하중 시나리오를 반영한 새로운 절차서를 제안하였으며, 유한요소해석을 통한 검증을 하였다. 기존 방식은 해저면의 기울기와 레그에 발생하는 휨모멘트 그리고 형상에 따른 영향을 검토하지 않기 때문에, 허용응력보다 작은 최대 응력 값을 보이지만, 신규 절차에 따른 결과는 대부분 구조보강이 발생하였다. 이러한 현상은 해상풍력발전기의 크기가 커지면 커질수록 차이가 크게 나타나며, 실제 관입(Pre-load) 조건을 고려하면 상당수의 부재에서 구조적 문제가 발생할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 더욱 실제적인 작업조건을 고려한 절차서를 제안하였고, 적용 시 문제점들에 대해서 구조해석을 통한 검증을 수행하였다.

On marine vessels, delicate instruments such as navigation radars are normally mounted on ship masts. However the vibrations at the top of mast where the radar is mounted often cause serious deterioration in radar-tracking resolution. The most serious problem is caused by the rotational vibrations at the top of mast that may be due to wind loading, inertial loading from ship rolling and base excitations induced by the running propeller. This paper presents a method of semi-active vibration control using magneto-rheological (MR) dampers to reduce the rotational vibration of the mast. In the study, the classical optimal control algorithm, the independent modal space control algorithm and the double input - single output fuzzy control algorithm are employed for the vibration control. As the phenomenological model of an MR damper is highly nonlinear, which is difficult to analyse, a back- propagation neural network is trained to emulate the inverse dynamic characteristics of the MR damper in the analysis. The trained neural network gives the required voltage for each MR damper based on the displacement, velocity and control force of the MR damper quickly. Numerical simulations show that the proposed control methods can effectively suppress the rotational vibrations at the top of mast.

The proposed hybrid damper installs at a coupling beam and consists of a high-damping rubber (HDR) and steel pin. The proposed hybrid damper adopted a pin-lock system acts as a viscoelastic damper under wind load (small displacement) while it behaves as a hysteretic damper under earthquake load (large displacement). In this paper, the pin-lock mechanism and structural performance of the proposed hybrid damper is evaluated through experiment. Experiments were carried out with the variables which displacement, loading frequency and steel pin quantities were used. Test results showed that the pin-lock mechanism and the performance of the hybrid damper under a large displacement were verified. Also equivalent damping ratios of HDR were increasing at a small displacement as displacement amplitudes were increasing. However HDR did not depend on frequency.

The total tug capacity needed for berthing/unberthing operations of a ship may vary depending on the ship's type, size, loading conditions, and environmental circumstances. Traditionally, total tug capacity is determined based on the local guidelines of port authorities or on the rule of thumb. However, the social demands for the enhancement of ship safety at harbor and the economical demands for the cost-effectiveness of tug usage makes it necessary for port authorities to develop more reasonable and detailed guidelines on tug usage which takes various conditions into account. In this paper, the method to estimate the optimum tug capacity of VLCC is suggested by considering various ship conditions such as its size, loading conditions, and environmental circumstances including wind, wave, tidal currents, and geographical characteristics of a terminal. This method is applied to the VLCC terminal located in Gwang-Yang harbor of Korea and the results are compared with the local guidelines of the harbor, which shows that there may be a room for the amendment of local guidelines on tug usage.

A growing dynamic electrical demand has created an increasing interest in utilizing nonconventional energy sources like Photovoltaic (PV), wind power, etc. In this context, this paper focuses on the design and development of a composite power controller (CPC) in the decoupled double synchronous reference frame (DDSRF) combining the advantages of direct power control (DPC) and voltage oriented control (VOC) for a PV sourced grid connected inverter. In addition, a controller with the inherent active filter configuration is tested with nonlinear and unbalanced loads at the point of common coupling in both grid connected and autonomous modes of operation. Furthermore, the loss and reactive power compensation due to a non-fundamental component is also incorporated in the design, and the developed DDSRF model subsequently allows independent active and reactive power control. The proposed developed model of the controller is also implemented using MATLAB-Simulink-ISE and a Xilinx system generator which evaluate both the simulated and experimental setups. The simulation and experimental results confirm the validity of the developed model. Further, simulation results for the DPC are also presented and compared with the proposed CPC to further bring out the salient features of the proposed work.
