In this study, we performed experiments aimed at improving the performance of circular Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLDs). TLDs offer numerous advantages over other passive vibration control devices. They are easy to install not only in new structures but also in existing ones, and they provide high cost efficiency compared to Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs). Maintenance is straightforward, requiring only checks of the liquid level and inspections for any leakage. To adjust the natural frequency of a TLD for both installation and maintenance, we can simply manage the liquid level within the device. However, much of the existing research on enhancing TLD performance has focused on rectangular shapes. Therefore, we conducted experiments to investigate ways to achieve an improved damping ratio in circular TLDs equipped with internal dampers. A large number of shaking table experiments were carried out using various configurations of TLDs with dampers. We explored different arrangements of dampers and compared their performance against that of conventional TLDs.

The abstract should clearly state the purpose and nature of the investigation while summarizing the key conclusions in English only. It should be a single paragraph consisting of no more than 200 words. This study presents a method to enhance the seismic performance of a stacked stone pagoda by utilizing a Ball Vibration Absorber (BVA). The governing equations of motion for sliding, the primary failure mode of the stacked stone pagoda, were derived, and a numerical model was developed. Through various numerical analyses, the optimal design parameters of the BVA were identified to maximize its seismic control effectiveness for the pagoda. The BVA device can increase the critical seismic acceleration at which the sliding mode occurs in the structure. Moreover, the seismic control performance of the BVA improves with an increase in the mass of the sphere and the coefficient of friction between the layers. Conversely, as the applied seismic acceleration rises, the effectiveness of the BVA in controlling seismic responses diminishes, although a certain level of control effect is maintained. Finally, as long as the sphere of the BVA maintains a specific range of rolling motion, the radius of the sphere or rolling radius does not significantly impacts its seismic control performance.

This study analyzes how the damping characteristics of anisotropic magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) change according to magnetic flux density, the volume fraction of carbonyl iron powder (CIP), and pre-stress. MREs are intelligent materials whose mechanical properties change depending on the magnetic field, and while research on stiffness changes has been actively conducted, analysis of damping characteristics is relatively insufficient. Consequently, the damping characteristics of MREs showed nonlinear responses depending on the interaction among magnetic flux density, CIP volume fraction, and pre-stress, confirming that damping performance can be utilized as a controllable material parameter. These results suggest the possibility that, in the design of MRE-based vibration control systems, not only stiffness but also damping characteristics can be actively controlled, and they provide basic data for the future development of high-performance vibration reduction technologies.

본 연구는 Tuned Mass Damper(TMD)가 적용된 원자력 발전소 파이핑 시스템의 동적 응답 저감 효과를 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. ABAQUS를 활용하여 실제 크기의 파이핑 시스템 유한요소 모델을 개발하고, 실험 데이터를 통해 모델의 적합성을 검증하 였다. 이후, 확장된 수치해석을 통해 국부 손상 발생 시 TMD의 응답 저감 효과를 분석하였다. 연구 결과, TMD는 무손상 상태에서 가속도와 변위 응답을 각각 최대 20%와 30% 저감하는 효과를 보였으며, 특정 국부 손상(30%, 50%, 70%)에서도 저감 효과가 유지됨 을 확인하였다. 이는 국부 손상이 시스템의 주파수 특성에 미치는 영향이 제한적임을 시사한다. 그러나 손상의 위치와 응답 특성에 따라 저감 효과에는 차이가 있었으며, 최대 응답 위치에서 TMD의 효과가 보다 두드러졌다. 본 연구는 선형 해석에 초점을 맞췄으며, 향후 비선형 재료 특성과 다양한 지진 조건을 고려한 추가 연구가 필요함을 제안한다.

This study deals with the vibration transmissibility of a vibration isolation device, which is composed of frictional damping and nonlinear softening springs, when its base is harmonically excited. The SCAP method, a type of averaging method, is employed to obtain steady-state responses. The vibration characteristics due to excitation of the base are investigated through the analysis of displacement transmissibility in the steady-state response. In this process, displacement transmissibility for design parameters is analyzed, and the stability of the response is also investigated. The vibration isolation effect due to frictional damping is found to be more effective in the case of the softening spring than in the case of the hardening spring. Additionally, the pattern of the jump phenomenon observed during frequency sweeping, both upward and downward, has been identified.

This study proposes an RCS composite damping device that can achieve seismic reinforcement of existing buildings by dissipating energy by inelastic deformation. A series of experiments assessing the performances of the rubber core pad, hysteretic steel slit damping device, and hybrid RCS damping device were conducted. The results showed that the ratios of the deviations to the mean values satisfied the domestic damping-device conformity condition for the load at maximum device displacement in each direction, at the maximum force and minimum force at zero displacement, as well as the hysteresis curve area. In addition, three analysis models based on load-displacement characteristics were proposed for application to seismic reinforcement design. In addition, the validity of the three proposed models was confirmed, as they simulated the experimental results well. Meanwhile, as the shear deformation of the rubber-core pad increased, the hysteretic behavior of super-elasticity greatly increased the horizontal force of the damping device. Therefore, limiting the allowable displacement during design is deemed to be necessary.

Structural vibration induced by earthquake hazards is one of the most significant concerns in structure performance-based design. Structural hazards evoked from seismic events must be properly identified to make buildings resilient enough to withstand extreme earthquake loadings. To investigate the effects of combined earthquake-resistant systems, shear walls and five types of dampers are incorporated in nineteen structural models by altering their arrangements. All the building models were developed as per ACI 318-14 and ASCE 7-16. Seismic fragility curves were developed from the incremental dynamic analyses (IDA) performed by using seven sets of ground motions, and eventually, by following FEMA P695 provisions, the collapse margin ratio (CMR) was computed from the collapse curves. It is evident from the results that the seismic performance of the proposed combined shear wall-damper system is significantly better than the models equipped with shear walls only. The scrutinized dual seismic resisting system is expected to be applied practically to ensure a multi-level shield for tall structures in high seismic risk zones.

In this study, an incremental loading test of the HRS(Hybrid Rubber Slit) damper was additionally performed to define the physical characteristics according to the incremental test results, and an analytical study was performed according to the damping design procedure by selecting an example structure. As a result of performing seismic performance evaluation before reinforcement by selecting a RC structure similar to an actual school structure as an example structure, the story drift ratio was satisfied, but some column members collapsed due to bending deformation. In order to secure the seismic performance, the damping design procedure of the HRS damper was presented and performed. As a result of calculating the amount of damping device according to the expected damping ratio and applying it to the example structure, the hysteresis behavior was stable without decrease in strength, and the story drift ratio and the shear force were reduced according to the damping effect. Finally the column members that had collapsed before reinforcement satisfied the LS Level.

It is effective to apply hybrid damping device that combine separate damping device to cope with various seismic load. In this study, HRS hybrid damper(hybrid rubber slit damper) in which high damping rubber and steel slit plate are combined in parallel was proposed and structural performance tests were performed to review the suitability for seismic performance. Cyclic Loading tests were performed in accordance with criteria presented in KDS 41 17 00 and MOE 2019. As a result of the test, the criteria of KDS 41 17 00 and MOE2019 was satisfied, and the amount of energy dissipation increased due to the shear deformation of the high-damping rubber at low displacement. Result of performing the RC frame test, the allowable story drift ratio was satisfied, and the amount of energy dissipation increased in the reinforced specimen compared to the non-reinforced specimen.

The use of dampers is being considered a means to improve the seismic performance of buildings. It may take considerable time and effort to find an optimal design solution since repeated three-dimensional nonlinear time history analyses are required. Therefore, a preliminary design procedure for seismic retrofit using hysteretic dampers was proposed in this study. In the proposed procedure, the amount of retrofit (required number of dampers) is estimated from the capacity curve of the building before retrofit and allowable story drift of the building. In combining the capacity curves of the building and the dampers, the deformation demand for the dampers can be easily checked against their deformation capacity. The equations to transform the device displacement to roof displacement for the combination of capacity curves are developed. The proposed procedure was applied to the seismic retrofit design of sample buildings. The study found that the estimated capacity curve was very close to the actual capacity curve obtained from the pushover analysis, which can determine an appropriate configuration to meet the required seismic performance.

Friction damping is often used as a vibration isolation medium to protect large objects from vibration. In this paper, it is modeled and analyzed a basis-excited nonlinear vibration system with friction damping using the SCPA method, which is one of the averaging methods. The displacement transmissibility and the stability of the steady state response were analyzed seperately for the linear and the non-linear spring systems. The critical frequency at which the relative motion starts was obtained as a function of the friction ratio, and the characteristics of the displacement transmissibility according to the change of the design parameters were investigated. In the case of the nonlinear spring system, the displacement transmissibilities were divided into three types and the motion characteristics were considered. In particular, there was a peculiarity that the displacement transmissibilty curve was separated at specific parameter values.
