This study is a preliminary investigation into a method for updating analytical models using actual vibration measurement data to improve the reliability of the seismic performance evaluations. The research was conducted on 26 models with various parameters, aiming to develop an optimal analytical model that closely matches the natural frequencies of the actual building. By identifying the dynamic characteristics of the target building through vibration measurements taken just before the demolition of the structure, the natural frequency analysis results of the analytical models were compared to the measured data. Based on this comparison, an optimized method for adjusting the parameters of the analytical models was derived. Throughout the analysis, various parameters were adjusted, and the eigenvalue analysis results were corrected by comparing them with vibration measurements. Among the comparative analytical models, the model with the lowest error rate was selected. The results showed that, in all cases, the analytical model with a concrete compressive strength of 16 MPa (based on actual measurements), pin boundary conditions, and an idealized strip footing cross-section had the closest match to the actual building's natural frequencies, with an average error of less than 8%.

In this study, a control algorithm was developed to suppress the free vibration amplitude of a cantilever beam with time-varying dynamic characteristics. In other words, since it is assumed that the natural frequency and mode shape of the vibrating structure are not fixed, the system model of the vibrating structure was not used in the control algorithm. A single electromagnet was chosen as the actuator, so the attractive force was applied to only one fixed location in the structure. Through experiments, the proposed control algorithm is proven to effectively suppress the amplitude of vibration even when the dynamic characteristics of the cantilever beam change. Contrary to the usual active vibration control method, the proposed algorithm is just simple and intuitive without complicated mathematics in the modeling and control process. However, the proposed control method is very effective to suppress the vibration even when the dynamic characteristics of the target structure is not exactly known, as is often the case in industries or laboratories.

In order to design a seismic safety of a cabinet affected by an earthquake, vibration analysis was performed using a model cabinet. In order to analyze the vibration characteristics of the cabinet under earthquake conditions, 3D finite element analysis was performed using ANSYS Workbench and SolidWorks. The modal analysis of the cabinet showed nine natural modes and natural frequencies, and showed the deformation and vibration of the cabinet panel for each mode. The frequencies of the 1st and 2nd modes, which are low modes, were 10% of the natural frequency value of the 9th mode, so it was easy to predict the possibility of resonance occurrence. The response spectrum due to the earthquake showed that the displacement, acceleration, and stress distribution of the cabinet had different behaviors in the x, y, and z directions, and especially showed very large values in the z direction. Although the vibration characteristics of the structure were evaluated using the modal characteristics and response spectrum for the cabinet, research on the application of a tuned mass damper is necessary for the dynamic characteristics process of the cabinet due to an earthquake and resonance reduction.

The multi-local resonance metamaterial is based on the local resonance mechanism of resonators, effectively blocking wave propagation within multiple resonant frequency ranges, a phenomenon known as band gaps. In practical applications for vibration reduction, the goal is to achieve wide-band vibration attenuation at low frequencies. Therefore, this study aims to improve the vibration reduction performance of multi-local resonance metamaterials by lowering the band gap frequency and expanding the band gap width. To achieve this, an objective function was formulated in the optimization problem, considering both the frequency and width of the band gap, with the geometric shapes of the multiple local resonators selected as design variables. The Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP) technique was employed for optimization. The results confirmed that the band gap was generated at lower frequencies and that the band gap width was expanded.

This study proposes a steel plate retrofit method and a polyurea method to improve the structural stability and usability of a factory floor slab with a thickness of 120mm. To assess vibration changes, vibrations were measured before and after retrofit. A numerical analysis model was also developed to evaluate improvements in structural safety and usability. The natural frequency increased from 11.4Hz to 17Hz through steel plate reinforcement, confirming an increase in slab stiffness. The damping ratio increased from 2.3% to 3.2% with polyurea reinforcement, indicating improved vibration reduction. Additionally, numerical analysis modeling showed that the natural frequency increased from 13.9Hz to 16.2Hz due to the steel plate reinforcement, enhancing the dynamic characteristics of the floor slab and confirming the reliability of the analysis model.

In order to prevent disconnection of the hydraulic pump EDV cable, this study judged the vibration generated by the pump as the greatest effect on disconnection, and confirmed the vibration effect. And it had a structure that was vulnerable to vibration because of the wire flow space inside the EDV cable connector. After applying the improved adapter, vibration analysis, excitation test, and bending strength test were performed to confirm the effectiveness of design change and improvement. As a result of vibration analysis, the amount of vibration was reduced by about 10 times compared to the existing product, and the strength increased by about 4 times in the bending strength test was confirmed to increase the effect of preventing disconnection due to vibration.

In this article, improvement of heat screen failure for battle tank is proposed. The heat screen applied to protect a cam sensor from engine heat was cracked by vibrations generated in the engine. To solve this problem, the configuration of the heat screen was changed to a structure that can avoid engine vibration levels. The improved heat screen has first mode frequency at 4,000 RPM band outside the main operating range of the engine, and heat dissipation is at the same level as conventional heat screen. As a result, the improved heat screen secured reliability by improving vibration effects by approximately 163% while maintaining heat dissipation performance.

In the present study, the inertial electromagnetic actuator (IEA) and the FxLMS (filtered-x least mean square) method were applied to study vibration control using the active mount. IEA was designed and manufactured for the experiment, and FxLMS algorithm was developed to evaluate control performance and mount dynamic characteristics. For the vibration control experiment, active mounts were installed at the top and bottom, and the lower active mount controls the force transmitted to the structure by the excitation signal from the upper active mount. The experiment was performed by simultaneously exciting three frequencies in three axes. From the experimental results, it was confirmed that the force measured at the lower active mount when the actuator is off is greatly reduced when the actuator is on, and that vibration reduction in the vertical z-axis is more effective than vibration reduction in the x-y plane.

PURPOSES : The tire-pavement interaction noise (TPIN) comprises four sources, among which the tire tread vibration noise (TTVN) and air pumping noise (APN) are known to be the most influential. However, when evaluating TPIN, the noise level is estimated based on the overall noise, because general noise measurement methods cannot separate TTVN and APN. Therefore, this study aims to develop a method to separate TTVN and APN in TPIN for quantitative assessment of pavement noise. METHODS : Based on the results of our literature review and frequency band noise data measured in our study, we identified the dominant frequency ranges for TTVN and APN. Additionally, we evaluated TTVN and APN across various pavement types. RESULTS : TTVN was found to be dominant in frequency bands below 800 Hz, while APN was dominant in frequency bands above 800 Hz. Additionally, regardless of the vehicle type, vehicle speed, or pavement type, APN exhibited higher levels compared to TTVN. This result shows that APN has a more significant impact on TPIN than TTVN. CONCLUSIONS : The separation method of TTVN and APN proposed in this study can be utilized to quantitatively assess the relationship between the primary noise sources in TPIN and the characteristics of pavement texture in future research. Furthermore, it is anticipated that characteristics of low TPIN and optimal texture conditions can be proposed to mitigate TPIN, thus contributing to the development of lownoise pavements.

New motor development requires high-speed load testing using dynamo equipment to calculate the efficiency of the motor. Abnormal noise and vibration may occur in the test equipment rotating at high speed due to misalignment of the connecting shaft or looseness of the fixation, which may lead to safety accidents. In this study, three single-axis vibration sensors for X, Y, and Z axes were attached on the surface of the test motor to measure the vibration value of vibration. Analog data collected from these sensors was used in classification models for anomaly detection. Since the classification accuracy was around only 93%, commonly used hyperparameter optimization techniques such as Grid search, Random search, and Bayesian Optimization were applied to increase accuracy. In addition, Response Surface Method based on Design of Experiment was also used for hyperparameter optimization. However, it was found that there were limits to improving accuracy with these methods. The reason is that the sampling data from an analog signal does not reflect the patterns hidden in the signal. Therefore, in order to find pattern information of the sampling data, we obtained descriptive statistics such as mean, variance, skewness, kurtosis, and percentiles of the analog data, and applied them to the classification models. Classification models using descriptive statistics showed excellent performance improvement. The developed model can be used as a monitoring system that detects abnormal conditions of the motor test.

Earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or greater occur in Korea about 10 times on average yearly, and the number of earthquakes occurring in Korea is increasing. As many earthquakes have recently occurred, interest in the safety of nuclear power plants has increased. Nuclear power plants are equipped with many cabinet-type control facilities to regulate safety facilities, and function maintenance is required during an earthquake. The seismic performance of the cabinet is divided into structural and functional performances. Structural performance can be secured during the design procedure. Functional performance depends on the vibration performance of the component. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the seismic performance of the components. Generally, seismic performance is confirmed through seismic simulation tests. When checking seismic performance through seismic simulation tests, it is difficult to determine the effect of frequency and maximum acceleration on an element. In this paper, shaking table tests were performed using various frequencies and various maximum accelerations. The seismic performance characteristics of the functions of electrical equipment components were confirmed through tests.

This paper introduces a study on measuring the 3D vibration displacement of plate structure using Digital Image Correlation (DIC) applied to stereo digital continuous camera images. The proposed method is a non-contact 3D displacement measurement method that does not require physical sensors to be attached to the structure, and it has the advantage of simultaneously measuring dynamic displacements at multiple points on the structure. Theoretically, multiple cameras can be used, but in this study, two cameras were used to capture continuous images of the vibrating structure, and the image coordinates of multiple tracking points at arbitrary positions on the structure were measured using correlation matching. Using these image coordinates as input data, the dynamic 3D positions were calculated through Space intersection, successfully determining the 3D dynamic displacements. The measured dynamic displacements were validated for accuracy by comparing them with values measured by laser displacement sensors. And frequencies of measured data were validated by comparing with computational modal analysis by Finite Element Model (FEM).

1991-2020년의 30년 동안 봄철(3-5월)에 북극-동아시아 지역의 지표면 부근 대기 온난화가 북극 진동에 따라 한국의 서울에서 발생하는 황사 사례일의 종관 기상 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 북극-동아시아 지역의 봄철 온 난화 증가는 한국의 서울에서 황사 사례일을 6일을 감소시켰고, 황사 사례일의 PM10 질량 농도도 –1.6 g m3 yr1으로 강도를 약화시키는데 기여하고 있었다. 2010년대 한국에서 감소하고 있는 황사 사례일에 대한 동아시아 지역의 종관 기상 특성은 음()의 잠재소용돌이도(Potential Vorticity Unit; PVU)로 나타나는 고기압성 활동이 증가하고 있었다. 또한, 한국에서는 음()의 북극진동지수(Arctic Oscillation Index; AOI)에서 황사 사례일이 증가하고 양(+)에서는 감소하는 정적 편포를 보였다. AOI가 음()인 황사 사례일에서는 중국 대륙에 온난한 고기압이 강화되고 있었다. 더불어 한대 제트의 중심 위치가 북쪽으로 이동하면서 몽골과 중국 북부에서는 한대 기단의 남하에 의한 저기압성 활동이 약해지고 있었다. 황사의 발생이 감소하였을 뿐 아니라 발원지로부터 한국으로 황사를 수송하는 풍속이 감소하고 있었다. 반면, AOI가 양(+)인 황사 사례일에서는 중국 대륙에 광역적으로 온난하고 정체적인 고기압이 위치하고 있었으며, 한대 제트 의 북쪽이 더욱 냉각되어 있었다. 몽골-중국 북부-한국에 이르는 지역에서 하층 대류권의 현저한 풍속 감소가 황사 발 생을 감소시킬 뿐 아니라 장거리 수송을 약화시키는 원인이 되는 것으로 보인다.

국내 특수교 대부분은 사장교와 현수교로 케이블 교량 형식이다. 특수교는 규모 면에서 가장 유지관 리가 우선시 되는 사회 기반 시설물로 장기적이고 체계적인 유지관리 전략이 필요한 구조물이다. 다시 말해서는 케이블 교량은 대부분 사용 수명이 100년 이상 되는 교량으로 일반적인 중·소규모 교량의 유지관리와는 차별화된 관리가 요구되고 있다. 케이블 교량에서 구조물 상부를 지지하는 케이블은 주 요 부재이므로 구조물의 안전성을 확보하기 위해서는 케이블에 대한 철저한 유지관리가 필요하다. 진 동에 의한 피로 손상은 케이블 사용 수명을 단축하게 하는 주요 원인으로, 풍하중으로 인해 발생한 케 이블 과진동(풍우진동, 웨이크 갤로핑, 지점 가진에 의한 진동 등)은 교량의 안전성에 영향을 미쳐 붕 괴 사고로도 이어질 수 있다. 국내외적으로도 케이블 시스템의 과진동 및 이로 인한 건전성 확보 문제 가 지속해서 대두되고 있는 실정이다. 케이블 진동에 영향을 미치는 풍하중은 정적 풍하중과 동적 풍 하중을 구분할 수 있으며 풍하중 종류를 고려하여 케이블 제진 대책을 마련해야 한다. 한편, 케이블 교량 유지관리 업무에서는 구조해석과 같은 공학적인 판단뿐만 아니라 전문가 경험에 의한 판단도 중 요한 요소로 유사 교량 형식의 사례 조사에 의한 분석도 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 케이블 교량에서의 풍하중에 의한 진동 발생 원인별 사례 및 그에 따른 풍하중에 대한 제진 대책 적용 사례를 조사하였 고, 이를 통해 케이블 교량의 유지관리 업무에 활용될 수 있도록 소개하고자 한다.

This study numerically compares optimum solutions generated by element- and node-wise topology optimization designs for free vibration structures, where element-and node-wise denote the use of element and nodal densities as design parameters, respectively. For static problems optimal solution comparisons of the two types for topology optimization designs have already been introduced by the author and many other researchers, and the static structural design is very common. In dynamic topology optimization problems the objective is in general related to maximum Eigenfrequency optimization subject to a given material limit since structures with a high fundamental frequency tend to be reasonable stiff for static loads. Numerical applications topologically maximizing the first natural Eigenfrequency verify the difference of solutions between element-and node-wise topology optimum designs.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the possibility of damage to cultural assets resulting from vibrations generated by construction vehicle traffic. The cultural heritage's natural vibration frequency was determined to be 150Hz by measurement. The damping ratios were calculated as 4.7% using the logarithmic decrement approach and 4.3% using the half-power method. The vibration measurements obtained during vehicle operation indicated that, despite an increase in vehicle velocity of up to 15 km/h, the vibrations remained below the detectable level of 0.13 mm/sec. When the road is curved and the terrain is sloped, a suitable speed for vehicle operation was found to be around 17 km/h, at which point vibrations were seen. The highest recorded vibration amplitude at this velocity was 0.217 mm/sec, which remains below the stringent regulation limit of 2 mm/sec. Thus, it can be concluded that there is no actual harm caused by vibrations.
