To investigate earthquake responses of structures with basements affected by soil deposits, centrifuge tests were performed using an in-flight earthquake simulator. The test specimen was composed of a single-degree-of-freedom structure model, a basement and sub-soil deposits in a centrifuge container. The test parameters were the dynamic period of the structure model, boundary conditions of the basement, existence of soil deposits, centrifugal acceleration level, and type and level of input earthquake accelerations. When soil deposits did not exist, the earthquake responses of the structures with fixed basement were significantly greater than those of the structure without basement. Also, the earthquake responses of the structures with the fixed basement surrounded by soil deposits were amplified, but the amplifications were smaller than those of the structures without basement. The earthquake responses of the structures with the half-embedded basement in the soil deposits were greater than those estimated by the fixed base model using the measured free-field ground motion. The test showed that the basement and the soil deposit should be simultaneously considered in the numerical analysis model, and the stiffness of the half-embedded was not effective.

A novel vibration control method for vibration reduction of a spacial structure subjected to earthquake excitation was proposed in this study. Generally, spatial structures have various vibration modes involving high-order modes and their natural frequencies are closely spaced. Therefore, in order to control these modes, a spatially distributed MTMDs (Multiple TMDs) method is proposed previously. MR (Magnetorheological) damper were used to enhance the control performance of the MTMDs. Accordingly, MSTMDs (Multiple Smart TMDs) were proposed in this study. An arch structure was used as an example structure because it has primary characteristics of spatial structures and it is a comparatively simple structure. MSTMDs were applied to the example arch structure and the seismic control performance were evaluated based on the numerical simulation. Fuzzy logic control algorithm (FLC) was used to generate command voltages sent for MSTMSs and the FLC was optimized by genetic algorithm. Based on the analytical results, it has been shown that the MSTMDs effectively decreased the dynamic responses of the arch structure subjected to earthquake loads.

In this study, shaking table test has been carried out for the dual frame passive control system for seismic performance verification of the proposed system. The proposed system was separated into two independent frameworks that are strength resistant core and frame structure by connecting to the damper. Moreover, the seismic performance improvement of the proposed system has been verified by comparing and analyzing the experimental results of the proposed system with an existing core system. As a result of the shaking table test, acceleration and displacement responses of dual-frame vibration control system are decreased than those of the existing strength resistant type core system. In the case of the core system, while the damage was concentrated on the column of first floor, the damage of the dual system was dispersed in each layer. The damage also was concentrated on the damper, almost no damage occurs to the structural members. It has been emphasized that installed dampers in the proposed dual system reduce the input energy of whole structure by absorbing seismic input energy, which leads overall system damage to be reduced.

A seismic response analysis method for three-dimensional floating offshore structures due to seaquakes is developed. The hydrodynamic pressure exerted on the structure is calculated taking into account the compressibility of the sea water, the fluid-structure interaction, the energy absorption by the seabed, and the energy radiation into infinity. To validate developed method, the hydrodynamic pressure induced by the vibration of a floating massless rigid circular disk is calculated and compared with an exact analytical solution. The developed method is applied to seismic analysis of a support structure for a floating offshore wind turbine subjected to the hydrodynamic pressures induced from a seaquake. Analysis results show that earthquake response of a floating offshore structure can be greatly influenced by the compressibility of fluid, the depth (natural frequencies) of the fluid domain, and the energy absorption capacity of the seabed.

It is very important to assure the seismic performance of equipment as well as building structures in seismic design of nuclear power plant(NPP). Seismically isolated structures may be reviewed mainly on the horizontal seismic responses. Considering the equipment installed in the NPP, the vertical earthquake responses of the structure also should be reviewed. This study has investigated the vertical seismic demand of seismically isolated structure by lead rubber bearings(LRBs). For the numerical evaluation of seismic demand of the base isolated NPP, the Korean standard nuclear power plant (APR1400) is modeled as 4 different models, which are supported by LRBs to have 4 different horizontal target periods. Two real earthquake records and artificially generated input motions have been used as inputs for earthquake analyses. For the study, the vertical floor response spectra(FRS) were generated at the major points of the structure. As a results, the vertical seismic responses of horizontally isolated structure have largely increased due to flexibility of elastomeric isolator. The vertical stiffness of the bearings are more carefully considered in the seismic design of the base-isolated NPPs which have the various equipment inside.

가스 생산용 해양플랜트 설비의 경우 폭발의 위험에 노출되어 있으며, 폭발사고는 구조물의 안전성에 치명적인 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서, 이러한 폭발사고에 의한 피해를 최소화하기 위해서는, 폭발하중에 의한 구조부재의 동적응답 특성을 명확히 파악할 필요가 있다. 폭발하중의 경우 매우 짧은 시간 동안에 구조물에 가격되었다가 소멸되기 때문에 구조부재의 고유주기 및 폭발하중의 지속시간을 고려한 동적응답 평가가 필수적으로 요구된다. 일반적으로 가스 폭발하중의 경우, 부 압력단계가 전체 하중 이력에서 상당 부분 존재하며, 본 연구에서는 이러한 부 압력단계의 형상에 따라 총 하중 지속시간을 결정하는 하중 모델을 제안하였다. 방화벽은 폭발사고 시 장비 및 인명 피해를 방지하고자 FPSO 탑사이드 모듈 사이에 배치되는 구조부재이므로 폭발하중에 의한 응답이력 특성 분석이 반드시 필요하다. 때문에 무 감쇠 단 자유도 모델에 가스 폭발하중을 적용하여 변위응답 특성을 분석하였으며, 평판으로 구성된 방화벽의 FE 모델을 이용한 하중 지속시간과 구조부재들의 고유주기를 고려한 응답 특성을 분석하였다. LS-DYNA를 이용한 선형/비선형 구조해석 분석결과, 부 압력단계의 지속시간이 구조물의 동적응답에 큰 영향을 주는 것을 보였다.

가스 생산용 해양플랜트 설비에서 발생할 수 있는 폭발사고의 경우, 구조 시스템의 기하학적 특성이나, 바람, 가스 누출율 등과 같은 환경적 조건에 의해 피해 규모의 범위가 상당하다. 따라서 폭발파에 의한 구조 부재의 응답을 분석하기 위해서는 이러한 조건들을 고려한 가스폭발 수치해석 과정이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 FPSO 탑사이드의 형상 및 장비 배치와 같은 세부적인 부분까지 고려하여 폭발해석을 수행하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 획득한 하중 이력들의 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 다양한 형태로 나타나는 폭발하중 이력들 중 구조물 손상에 직접적으로 영향을 미칠 수 있는 최대 압력과 지속시간들을 고려하여 유한요소해석 시 하중조건으로 적용한 후, 부재의 응답특성에 관한 분석을 수행하였다. 유한요소해석 모델은 실제 구조물에 적용이 가능하고, 복잡한 형상을 이상화한 단 자유도 및 다 자유도 모델을 사용하였다. 정 압력 및 부 압력단계의 최대 압력이 증가함에 따라 구조 부재의 최대 응답이 증가하였고, 부 압단계에서 하중 지속시간이 증가함에 따라 구조물의 최대 변위가 증가는 경향을 보였다.

This study investigated the influence of probabilistic variability in stiffness and nonlinearity of soil on response of nuclear power plant (NPP) structure subjected to seismic loads considering the soil-structure interaction (SSI). Both deterministic and probabilistic methods have been employed to evaluate the dynamic responses of the structure. For the deterministic method, SRPmin method given in USNRC SRP 3.7.2(2013) (envelope of responses using three shear modulus profiles of lower bound(GLB), best estimate(GBE) and upper bound(GUB)) and SRPmax method (envelope of responses by more than three ground profiles within range of GLB≤G≤GUB) have been considered. The probabilistic method uses the Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) that can capture probabilistic feature of soil stiffness defined by the median and the standard deviation. These analysis results indicated that 1) number of samples shall be larger than 60 to apply the probabilistic approach in SSI analysis and 2) in-structure response spectra using equivalent linear soil profiles considering the nonlinear behavior of soil medium can be larger than those based on low-strain soil profiles.

In military, Electro-optic/Infra-red system that is used to obtain the target image of high performance induced blur images by the vibration of the carrier and inner optical devices. Optical devices of the EO/IR is constituted by the optical lens, detector and mechanical assembly. High performance detectors for IR camera are typically used for stirling cryocooler to maintain the temperature of the detection surface cryogenically. However, This cooler induces a blur image on detector surface by the vibration.

Also, We confirmed that we were designed robust mounting structure according to the vibration through the response analysis models the inner gimbal and optics.

In order to perform a soil-isolation-structure interaction analysis of seismically isolated nuclear power plant (NPP) structures, the nonlinear behavior of a seismic isolation system may be converted to an equivalent linear model used in frequency domain analysis. Seismic responses for seismically isolated NPP containment structures subjected to a simple artificial acceleration history and different site class earthquakes are evaluated for the equivalent-linear and nonlinear models that have been applied to lead-rubber bearing (LRB) modeling. It can be observed that the maximum displacements of the equivalent linear model are larger than that of the nonlinear model. From the floor response spectrum analysis for the top of NPP containment structures, it can be observed that the spectral acceleration of an equivalent linear model at about 0.5 Hz frequency is about 2~3 times larger than that of a nonlinear model.

본 논문에서는 질점계 비선형 지진응답해석을 통한 역량스펙트럼 도출방법을 소개한다. 일반적인 건축물의 손상도 평가는 비선형 등가정적해석(Push-over Analysis)을 통하여 건축물의 역량스펙트럼을 도출하고, 역량스펙트럼과 요구스펙트럼의 교차점을 성능점으로 평가하고 있다. 등가정적해석은 지진의 영향을 등가의 정적하중으로 환산한 후 이를 이용하여 정적해석을 수행함으로써 구조물의 지진에 의한 거동을 예측하는 방법이다. 이 방법은 고차모드 및 층별 동특성의 영향을 고려할 수 없다. 따라서 건축물의 동특성이 반영된 역량스펙트럼을 산출하기 위하여 질점계 비선형 지진응답해석을 진행하여 건축물의 역량 스펙트럼을 제안하고자 한다.

Spatial structures as like dome structure have the different dynamic characteristics from general rahmen structures. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately analyze dynamic characteristics and effectively control of seismic response of spatial structure subjected to multi-supported excitation. In this study, star dome structure that is subjected to multi-supported excitation was used as an example spatial structure. The response of the star dome structure under multiple support excitation are analyzed by means of the pseudo excitation method. Pseudo excitation method shows that the structural response is divided into two parts, ground displacement and structural dynamic response due to ground motion excitation. And the application of passive tuned mass damper(TMD) to seismic response control of star dome structures has been investigated. From this numerical analysis, it is shown that the seismic response of spatial structure under multiple support seismic excitation are different from those of spatial structure under unique excitation. And it is reasonable to install TMD to the dominant points of each mode. And it is found that the passive TMD could effectively reduce the seismic responses of dome structure subjected to multi-supported excitation.

Considering a rigorously fluid-structure interaction, a method for an earthquake response analysis of a floating offshore structure subjected to vertical ground motion from a seaquake is developed. Mass, damping, stiffness, and hydrostatic stiffness matrices of the floating offshore structure are obtained from a finite-element model. The sea water is assumed to be a compressible, nonviscous, ideal fluid. Hydrodynamic pressure, which is applied to the structure, from the sea water is assessed using its finite elements and transmitting boundary. Considering the fluid-structure interaction, added mass and force from the hydrodynamic pressure is obtained, which will be combined with the numerical model for the structure. Hydrodynamic pressure in a free field subjected to vertical ground motion and due to harmonic vibration of a floating massless rigid circular plate are calculated and compared with analytical solutions for verification. Using the developed method, the earthquake responses of a floating offshore structure subjected to a vertical ground motion from the seaquake is obtained. It is concluded that the earthquake responses of a floating offshore structure to vertical ground motion is severely influenced by the compressibility of sea water.
