Generally, vibration absorber systems are composed of spring-mass systems to reduce the vibration of a structure, and there are also methods to simply increase damping to achieve a damping effect across a wide frequency band. One similar method is to use a mechanism in which the eddy current is converted into a mechanical damping effect. When an eddy current is generated by electromotive force due to magnetic flux change, the reaction force is generated by the eddy current’s circulation. In this study, the damping system using the reaction force was constructed to reduce the transmission of vibrations generating from internal fluid and the vibration reduction characteristics that are transmitted externally were analyzed. As a result, 8.2 % of the vibration reduction effect from primary excitation frequency was confirmed.

In this study, the yaw misalignment value of wind turbine was measured using Lidar and it was analyzed the effect of vibration reduction and power performance improvement when applied to turbine. It was confirmed that the vibration of the main bearing and the gear box of the wind turbine was partially reduced. Also it was found that the output performance was improved when the wind speed was over 8m/s. As a result, it was also found that the annual energy production(AEP) was improved when the average annual wind speed of the wind farm was over 6m/s. Converted to AEP, the AEP improved about 1% and 4%, when the annual wind speed was 6m/s and 11m/s respectively, which resulted in an improvement of about 1~4% through the yaw misalignment correction of the wind turbine.

Since the 2010 year, an occurring number of grand scale earthquakes which above magnitude 5.0 have increased in the world. Many types of research that deal with reducing the damage to the structure from a large-scale earthquake have proceeded. A system which could mitigate strong vertical earthquake's acceleration might apply to structure, since big earthquake cases that occurred lots of loss in Tokyo and Kobe of Japan. A plenty of bearings have installed to mitigate vibration but many parts of these lack efficient ability what we want. In addition, former vertical isolation bearings to apply for the structure have both price and size limits according to material characteristics. Therefore, this paper proposes a new type of device that is made by utilized engineering plastic and improves hitherto used vertical isolation bearing's fault.

The characteristics and effectiveness of double tuned mass dampers (DTMD) have been studied by many researchers. DTMD usually consists of one larger mass block and one smaller mass block. In this study, DTMD was proposed to reduce the vibration of vertical pumps in industrial plants. In order to assess the efficiency of the proposed method, numerical analysis for the simplified vertical pump model with single and double TMDs was carried out. It was also investigated that the effects of optimal TMD parameters such as frequency ratio and damping ratio on dynamic responses of the main structure. According to analysis results, DTMD are more effective to control the vibration of the vertical pump and show good robustness to the change in the stiffness of TMD.

Recently, measures for reducing noise and vibration of a railroad station are actively being developed to enhance its property value and comfort level of passengers. In this paper, the applicability of the recently developed vibration mitigation method utilizing a platform TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) by installing a spring-damper system beneath the platform is experimentally verified using a bench scale structure. The two-story bench scale structure is built to simulate a real railroad station, and vibration reduction effect is verified by comparing acceleration before and after applying the platform TMD at the 2nd floor of the structure. The design parameters of the platform TMD system is determined based on vibration analysis result and the MTMD (Multiple TMD) theory recently developed to enhance the effectiveness of the platform TMD method. The vibration is excited to the bench-scale structure using a vibrator. The performance test result for a spring-damper system is also presented. The result of the experiment reveals that the platform TMD method can reduce the vibration of the bench-scale structure by greater than 5dB(V).

Wind tower structure has relatively simple shape compared to other structures, but due to its characteristics, various and irregular environmental loads are applied. These loads cause vibrations at tower, and can cause failure of the structure if over vibration occurs. Vibration occurred at structures is gradually exhausted by damping of the structures, and if high damping is ensured, the failure of the structure due to over vibration can be prevented. In this study, the vibration reduction effects are to be analyzed through FEM analysis by examining the top displacement, bottom moment, and bottom fatigue damage of the structure depending on damping ratio of the wind tower structure.

Abnormal cab vibrations in the Y direction in commercial vehicles during driving(70~90kph) are not common vibrations that happen to vehicles during driving and can be an obstacle to normal driving. This study conducted Operation Deflection Shape(ODS) testing to identify the causes of those abnormal cab vibrations and find solutions for them and also a sine sweep test to find resonance and frequency in the cab suspension system and set directions for improvement. The study also altered the shape of the bush inner part for changes to the rigidity features of the cab bush in the Y direction and revised the design with optimal rigidity in the Y direction, thus improving abnormal cab vibrations in the Y direction during driving.

Instruments for surgical and dental application based on oscillatory mechanics submit unwanted vibrations to the surgeon's and dentist's hands. frequently the weight of the instrument's body is increased to dampen its vibration. Because medical devices to contact with human body directly are sterilized before use, conventional damping method and damper are not good for medical use. For dissipation of vibration, based on recent research regarding the optimization of particle damping, we made a prototype particle damper that dissipate the vibration of oscillatory saw and tested for validation of particle damping. As a result we found that particle damper operate more efficiently than solid mass damper if the geometry of the damper is optimized with respect to the specific amplitude of the vibration.

When the trains are passed the station, a serious force is applied to ground and the caused vibration is propagated to the area of the station by the ground and rocks. The caused vibration brings about the operation interruption of the equipment which is sensitive to the vibration, or will bring about the structural damage of the station. In this study, to investigate the vibrational evaluation of railway station by the train service, the vibration simulation was performed and analyzed the effect of the vibration isolating countermeasure. From the vibration measurement, all trains that passed through the station exceeded the vibration criteria. Therefore, the vibration isolating countermeasure was established and the vibration simulation was performed.

사장교 케이블은 구조적으로 휨강성과 감쇠력이 작아 풍우에 의해 쉽게 유해진동이 발생한다. 이러한 풍우진동을 저감시키기 위한 효과적인 방법으로 부가댐퍼를 장착하여 케이블의 감쇠력을 증가시키는 제어시스템이 널리 사용되어왔다. 그러나 댐퍼를 케이블의 정착부 부근에 설치할 수밖에 없는 구조적 한계로 인하여 충분한 감쇠력을 발휘하기 어렵다. 그러므로 본 논문은 수동제어시스템 보다 효과적으로 풍하중에 의한 케이블 진동을 제어하기 위한 능동제어시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 능동제어시스템은 케이블의 정착단에 베어링 장치를 장착하여 케이블 단부에서 횡방향 변위가 가능하도록 모델링 하였으며, 앵커리지 내부에 장착된 능동댐퍼를 이용하여 적절한 제어력을 제공하도록 하였다. 능동제어를 위하여 최적제어 이론을 이용 LQG 조정기를 설계하였으며, 수치해석은 실제 교량인 서해대교의 최장 케이블을 대상으로 하여 기존의 댐퍼 시스템과 수동, 능동 댐퍼 부착에 따른 케이블의 진동제어성능을 비교 및 분석하였다. 연구결과 제안된 능동제어시스템은 효과적으로 사장교 케이블의 진동을 저감시킬 수 있는 시스템임을 입증하였으며, 기존의 부가댐퍼 시스템 보다 효과적으로 진동을 저감시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In order to simulate the Helmholtz resonator environment, a perforated plate was inserted into a hollow slab to test its vibration performance. The vibration damping ratio was larger in the conventional hollow slab without apertures, however the accelerometer measurement showed a higher vibration reduction effect in the case of the perforated plate.

In this paper, we proposed a method to determine the acceleration/deceleration time of the motion for reducing the residual vibration caused by the resonance of the robot in the high-speed motion. The relationship between the acceleration/deceleration time and the residual vibration was discussed for the trapezoidal velocity profile by analyzing the time when the jerk happens. The natural frequency of the robot can be estimated in advance through the dynamics simulation. The simulation and experiment for both cases where the moving distance of the robot is long enough and the distance is short, are implemented in the 1-DOF linear robot. Simulation and experimental results show that when the acceleration/deceleration time is a multiple of the vibration period, the settling time and the amplitude of the residual vibration become less than when the time is not a multiple.

For elevated railway station on which track is connected with superstructure of station, structural vibration level and structure-borne-noise level has exceeded the reference level due to structural characteristics which transmits vibration directly. Therefore, existing elevated railway station is in need of economical and effective vibration reduction method which enable train service without interruption. In this study, structural vibration non-transmissible system which is applied to vibroisolating material for column member is developed to reduce vibration. That system is cut covering material of the column section using water-jet method and is installed with vibroisolating material on cut section. To verify vibration reduction effect and structural performance for structural vibration non-transmissible system, impact hammer test and cyclic lateral load test are performed for 1/4 scale test specimens. It is observed that natural period which means vibration response characteristics is shifted , and damping ratio is increased about 15~30% which means that system is effective to reduce structural vibration through vibration test. Also load-displacement relation and stiffness change rate of the columns are examined, and it is shown that ductility and energy dissipation capacity is increased. From test results, it is found that vibration non-transmissible system which is applied to column member enable to maintains structural function.

철도 역사의 경우 보다 효율적인 진동 저감 대책 수립을 위해서는 열차-궤도, 궤도-구조물 등의 상호작용 및 진동의 전달 경로에 대한 고려 등이 필요하다. 또한 역사 구조물의 경우도 접속 교량과의 상호작용, 승강장, 지붕 등 부대시설과의 상호작용에 대한 고려도 필요할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 역사 구조물과 부대시설과의 상호작용이 소음 및 진동에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 이 논문에서는 승강장과 역사 구조물간의 상호작용 분석을 통하여 소음과 진동을 저감시키는 방안에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 특히 승강장과 역사 구조물간 연결부의 강성 및 감쇠에 대한 조절을 통한 역사 구조물의 진동 저감 가능성을 검토하였다. 진동 저감 성능은 2차원 및 3차원 유한요소 모델을 이용하여 검증하였다.
