The boundary reaction method(BRM) is a substructure time domain method, it removes global iterations between frequency and time domain analyses commonly required in the hybrid approaches, so that it operates as a two-step uncoupled method. The BRM offers a two-step method as follows: (1) the calculation of boundary reaction forces in the frequency domain on an interface of linear and nonlinear regions, (2) solving the wave radiation problem subjected to the boundary reaction forces in the time domain. In the time domain analysis, the near-field soil is modeled to simulate the wave radiation problem. This paper evaluates the performance of the BRM according to modeling extent of near-field soil for the nonlinear SSI analysis of base-isolated NPP structure. For this purpose, parametric studies are performed using equivalent linear SSI problems. The accuracy of the BRM solution is evaluated by comparing the BRM solution with that of conventional SSI seismic technique. The numerical results show that the soil condition affects the modeling range of near-field soil for the BRM analysis as well as the size of the basemat. Finally, the BRM is applied for the nonlinear SSI analysis of a base-isolated NPP structure to demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the method.

The general auto transmission uses the torque converter that has a good vibration damping force by launching performance and damping effect as power transfer unit. The vehicle equipped with auto transmission uses Lock up clutch system to improve the fuel efficiency. The Lock up clutch system is the major factor of the devices that increase the torque from engine to transmission in specific condition and also consist of the damper springs to transfer the torque stably. Damper spring controls the vibration of power transfer units and improve the impression of riding and durability, by being damping function on change torque from engine. In addition, not only the appearance and performance, but also these sensitive qualities as like vibration and noise can also be main factor to buy a car. Recently, in order to absorb the low vibration caused by vehicle structure vibration, the Low-stiffness damper has been on the rise. The damper spring should be considered and designed, considering the engine characteristic and direct connect of lock up clutch due to the stiffness of the spring and hysteresis has a major effects to the damper characteristic. This study can be used for analyzing the major factors to effect the NVH characteristic by evaluating the damper’s hysteresis according to change of spring stiffness.

본 연구에서는 Coil Spring과 Viscous Damper 시스템의 동특성 분석을 위한 특성실험을 수행하였다. Coil Spring과 Viscous Damper 시스템은 원자력발전소 비상디젤발전기의 진동저감 및 지진력 저감을 위한 장치로 선정되었다. Viscous Damper 가진 속도에 따라서 그 특성이 다르게 나타나기 때문에 그 영향을 평가하여 진동저감과 지진력 저감효과를 동시에 고려할 수 있는 장치로서의 성능을 평가하고자 하는 것이다. 실험결과 수평방향의 경우 속도의존 비선형 거동이 두드러지게 나타나고 있는 반면 연직방향은 그러한 특성이 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 강성과 감쇠 모두 설계값보다 고평가 되고 있는 것으로 나타나서 전체 시스템의 면진 및 진동저감시 영향을 미칠 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
