An experimental real-time hybrid method, which implements the wind response control of a building structure with only a two-way TLMD, is proposed and verified through a shaking table test. The building structure is divided into the upper experimental TLMD and the lower numerical structural part. The shaking table vibrates the TLMD with the response calculated from the numerical substructure,which is subjected to the excitations of the measured interface control force at its top story and an wind-load input at its base. The results show that the conventional method can be replaced by the proposed methodology with a simple installation and accuracy for evaluating the control performance of a TLMD
본 논문에서는, 동조액체감쇠기(이하 TLD)만을 실험적 부분구조로 이용하여 TLD가 설치된 건축구조물의 지진 응답 제어효과를 평가하기 위한 실시간 하이브리드 실험법을 제안하고 진동대 실험을 통해 실험적으로 규명한다. 제안된 실험법에서, TLD가 설치된 전체구조물은 상부의 TLD와 하부의 구조물 부분으로 각각 실험적 그리고 수치해석적 부분구조로 나누어진다. 이때 부분구조 사이의 경계면에서 작용하는 하중 또는, TLD에 의한 제어력은 진동대에 설치된 전단형 로드셀에 의해 계측되며 진동대는, 계측된 경계면에서의 제어력이 상부에 작용하고 또한 동시에 기초에 지진하중이 작용하는 수치해석적 부분구조로부터 계산된 응답으로, 상부에 설치된 TLD를 가진하게 된다. 제안된 실험법에 의한 결과와 TLD와 건물모델 모두를 제작하여 실험하는 기존의 방법에 의한 실험 결과들은 서로 잘 일치하며, 이로써 본 논문에서 제안된 실험법을 이용하여 TLD의 제어성능을 손쉽게 평가 할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.
Substructuring technique is a method that an original structural model is divided into two parts; experimental and numerical substructures, and then its dynamic characteristic is replicated with only experimental substructure which is manufactured as a physical model and is tested. This paper proposes a shaking table testing method based on the substructuring technique and discuss its experimental verification. By applying the substructuring technique to an original structural model, it is decomposed into two parts; an upper experimental substructure with multi degrees-of-freedom and an lower numerical substructure. At the moment, interface force becomes to act between their interfaces due to artificial dividing into two parts. In this paper, numerical substructure corresponding to the lower part with single or multi degrees-of-freedom of the original multi degrees-of-freedom is incorporated in control computer of shaking table, to produce the interface acceleration by inputting the interface force which is experimentally measured from the upper experimental substructure. Finally, shaking table is used for exciting the upper experimental substructure with the motion of the interface acceleration. Experimental results show the validity of the proposed method that an experiment can be implemented by feedback of the interface acceleration.
