As HDD moves into new emerging consumer markets, expectations on quietness, as well as performance, have increased. The acoustic noise of HDD seems to be closely related to excitation of the spindle motor system. Recently, as a simple approach to reduce disk vibration, thicker disk, which is 50 mil (1.27mm), starts to use in HDD industry. Noise spectrum of HDD with use of 50 mil disk shows the dominant peaks of 900 Hz, mainly caused by excitations of the disk due to air windage effect. In order to reduce noise at this specific frequency, squeeze air damping effect was investigated by extremely reducing the gap between the disk and the base platform.

To reach high areal density, less track pitch is expected and more servo bandwidth is required. One approach to overcoming the problem is by using dual stage servo system. In this system, a voice coil motor (VCM) is used as the primary stage while a milliactuator is used as the secondary stage. We have suggested new milliactuator based on the shear mode of piezoelectric elements to drive the head suspension assembly. In this paper, we introduce controller design method, PQ method. PQ method reduces the controller design problem for DISO(dual-input/single-output) systems to two standard controller design problems for SISO(single-input/single-output) problems. The first part of PQ method directly address the issue of actuator output contribution, and the second part allows the use of traditional loop shaping to achieve the overall system performance. This paper shows how to employ the PQ method to meet aggressive close-loop performance specifications for a disk drive system with a VCM and piezoelectric milliactuator.

In this paper, the optimum designs of air-bearing surface(ABS) are achieved effectively by using reduced basis concept which can reduce the number of design variables although the design space is distended. Generally, the optimization method is more effective than the trial and error. However, the efficiency of the former is largely dependent on the number of the design variables. In order to reduce the number of design variables and increase the efficiency, reduced basis concept is applied. We can define the desired design as a linear combination of basis designs using this concept. From this optimization method with reduced basis concept, we easily obtain the optimum designs of ABS whose target flying heights are 25, 20, 15 nm.

An investigation of the TMR(Track Misregistration) requirements to achieve the capacity of 80GBytes/Platter in 7200rpm disk drive system is reported. This paper also gives an overview of the PES(Position Error Signal) characteristics in the 57,500TPI disk drive to estimate the required 95,000TPI-system PES. The TMR measured by PES are presented and decomposed in order to identify the portions and their contributions of the spindle-disk system vibration and HSA(Head-Stack-Assembly) system vibration respectively. A comprehensive review on the servo system is also presented to provide the practical limits of the modem servo architecture into TMR budget design. The decomposed PES energy distribution shows that the spindle-disk pack vibration is one of the top-ranking sources of the total TMR budget and its percentage contribution is about 50% considering all the other TMR sources.

Main sources of the vibration of a gear-pair system are backlash and transmission error. This paper investigates the dynamics of a gear-pair system involving backlash and transmission error. This paper presented 4 types of gear motions due to the existence of a backlash. The solutions are calculated using a multiple-time scale method and numerically. The results shows the existence of 4 type motions, jump phenomenon, and chaotic motion consequently the design of gear driving system with low vibration and noise requires the study on the effects of transmission error and backlash, i.e. nonlinearities in gear driving system.

The motivation behind this work is to understand the phenomenon of friction-induced vibration and squeal due to misalignment. In present paper, it is studied on effect of misalignment between friction-induced vibration and squeal by an experiment using a pin-on-disk type experimental apparatus. In order to build an analytical model of the friction-induced vibration system with misalignment, the system is modeled as a single-DOF and 3-DOF system. The results show that the single DOF system can only show stick/slip phenomenon, but the 3-DOF system can show squeal due to misalignment. Consequently, it can be said that the misalignment in a friction-induced vibration system is a source of squeal noise.

현재까지 고주파수 진동해석에 가장 많이 쓰이는 방법은 통계적 에너지 해석법 (SEA)이다. 그러나 SEA는 많은 가정을 사용하고 있고 시간 및 공간 평균된 에너지 값을 사용하기 때문에 결과에서 알아낼 수 있는 정보가 제한된다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 진동 전도 해석법(VCA)이나 파동 인텐시티기법 (WIA)등이 제안되었고, 기하음향학의 한 방법인 레이 추적 기법 (RTM)도 구조음향학에 적용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 레이 추적 기법을 이용하여 오일러-베르누이 보 이론에 근거한 고정단-자유단 경계조건을 가지는 단일 곡보의 진동 해석을 수행하였다. 예제를 통한 해석 결과, 주파수가 높을수록, 또 감쇠가 클수록 더 정확한 결과를 예측할 수 있음을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 따라서 기존 해석법들의 가정에 적합하지 않은 구조물에 적용할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

Recently people have come to demand more pleasant environments as the quality and right of life have been improved. Along with industrial development, the tendency is causing a growing number of disputes concerning environmental damages. Of many kinds of environmental damages, noise and vibration pollution rising at construction fields are particularly the most common subjects of public grievance. Thus the government launched the Environmental Dispute Mediation Committee in 1991, purposing to utilize fully the promptness and expertise of administrative institutes and to resolve environmental damage disputes promptly and fairly by interfering in them actively. With the prompt and fair dispute mediations of the committee, people came to be able to get fair and prompt remedies for damages in their health and fortune by environmental pollution. Therefore, by analyzing dispute mediation cases on construction noise and vibration damages, we will suggest basic material on which efficient actions can be taken for public grievances happening in the future.

The subjective unwantedness felt from the noise sources in living and office environment has been evaluated by investgating the upper/lower limit of perceptual loudness of the noise. The limits were selected by the subject and the noise sources were analyzed to find out whether there is any correlation with Zwicker parpmeters and ACF fastors. It was found that the loudness of vacuum cleaner noise does not influence its perceived noiseness. Noises implicated in human such as floor walking noise and talking sound, are the most irritating noise in office environment.

A successful design approach for noise barriers should be multidisciplinary because noise reduction goals influence both acoustical and non-acoustical considerations, such as maintenance, safety, physical construction, cost, and visual impact. These various barrier design options are closely related with barrier dimensions. In this study, we have proposed an optimal design method of straight noise barriers using genetic algorithm, providing a barrier having the smallest dimension and achieving the specified noise reduction at a receiver region exposed to the industry and traffic noise, to help a successful barrier design.

Traffic noise is a significant national problem in many communities. Construction of noise barriers has been the most often used mechanism to mitigate vehicle noise for residents next to high density roadways. The most common materials for constructing noise barriers are metal. The character of the wall can be significantly modified by the type of surface treatment used on the wall body. Noise barrier walls can be softened through the use of plants. Greening Noise Barrier helps blend the roadway into the surrounding landscape and provides an interesting and aesthetic view of the road.

Whenever a new railroad line is planned or a housing project near an existing railroad is proposed, an estimate of the relevant noise levels is usually required. For this, it is necessary to quantify those parameters that affect the railroad noise. This paper deals with an estimation of railroad noise by the barrier and deck plate of the bridge.

Actual engineering structure is frequently very complex, and parts of structure are designed independently by different engineers. Also each structure contains so many degree of freedom. For these reason, methods have been developed which permits the structure to be divided into components or substructures, with analysis being done on a small substructure in order to obtain a full structural system. In such case, because of different mesh size among finite element model (FEM) or different matching points among FEM models and experimentally obtained models, their interfacing points may be non-matching. Solving this non-matching problem is useful to other application such as structural dynamic modification or model updating. In this work, virtual node concept is introduced. Lagrange multipliers are used to enforce the interface compatibility constraint, and interface displacement is approximated by polynomial presentation. The governing equation of whole structure is derived using hybrid variational principle. The eigenvalue of whole structure are calculated using the determinant search method. The number of degree of freedom in the eigenvalue problem can be drastically reduced to just the number of interface degree of freedom. Some numerical simulation is performed to show usefulness of synthesis method.

This study intends to reduce the weight of structure without changing the dynamic characteristics. At first, the Vibration analyses by the Substructure Synthesis Method and FEM using the ANSYS are performed for the engine speed converter to confirm the reliability of the analyzing tools. Weight minimization is performed by the Sensitivity Analysis and the Optimum Structural Modification. To decrease the converter weight ideally, the parts with low sensitivity are to be cut mainly, and the changing quantity of the natural frequency by the cut is to be recovered by the weight modification of the parts with high sensitivity. As the unique mathematical solution for the homogeneous problem( i.e. 0 object function problem) does not exist, the converter is redesigned with much thinner initial thickness. The goal of this study is to recover the dynamic characteristics of redesigned structure to those of the original one. To say in the other words, the modified structure has the same dynamic characteristics and the more lighter weight to compare with the original one. In this analysis, the modification was performed with the redesigned initial thickness of 60 mm and 70 mm. And the numbers of the interesting natural frequencies are 1, 2, 4 respectively. Consequently 27% of weight reduction effects were earned.

구조최적화는 기계구조물의 동특성을 변경하기 위하여 필수적으로 수행되어야 할 요소이다. 어떠한 방법을 택하여 보다 효율적으로 수행할 것 인지가 엔지니어의 관심일 것이다. 구조최적화는 설계변수에 따라 치수최적화, 물성치최적화 형상최적화 등으로 나눌 수 있다. 형상 최적화는 구조물의 유한요소모델을 기본으로 경계의 형상이나 절점의 형상, 회전 등을 설계 변수로 삼는 것이다. 고유진동수를 높이거나 모드형상을 제어하기 위하여 평판에 보강재를 붙이는 경우가 있다. 이때 보강재의 위치나 치수 형상 등이 중요한 변수가 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 평판의 고유진동수를 극대화 하기위해 보 보강재를 붙이는 문제에서 보의 회전을 설계 변수로 삼아 최적설계를 수행 할 것이다.

부분구조 합성법(substructuring or substructure synthesis)은 부분구조(substructure)의 주파수 응답함수(FRFs, frequency response functions)를 이용하여 합성된 전체 구조물의 동특성(dynamic behavior)을 파악하는 기술로서 이에 관한 이론은 명확하며 간단하다. 즉, 역행렬 계산과 같은 기본적인 행렬연산으로 부분구조 합성을 수행한다. 그러나, 여러 가지 요인으로 인하여 계산된 합성 결과는 실제로 결합된 전체 구조물의 동특성과는 차이를 보인다. 현실적인 이유로 고려하지 못하는 회전자유도와 실험에서 수반되는 여러 가지 측정오차는 주요한 요인이며 이에 대한 연구 또한 많이 진행되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 요인 중, 상대적으로 덜 중요하게 평가된 모드자름 오차(modal truncation error)의 영향을 고려한다. 단순한 구조물에 대하여 모의실험을 수행함으로써, 모드자름 오차로 인하여 완전히 잘못된 합성 결과가 나을 수 있다는 것을 보인다. 측정된 FRE를 이용하여 이러한 오차를 보정(compensation)하는 소개하고 이를 대상 구조물에 적용하여 모드자름 오차의 영향을 상당히 줄일 수 있다는 것을 보인다. 복잡한(complicated) 구조물에 대하여 모드자름 오차의 영향을 줄이기 위해서 모든 FRFs를 보정하는 것은 어려우므로 현실적인 대안을 모색한다.

대부분의 제품 생산 시에는 시제품을 제작하여 이에 대한 성능 심사를 통해 미비한 부분을 보완하기 위한 재설계 작업과정을 필요로 한다. 설계 작업에 가장 중요한 부분인 특정 설계 변수에 대한 민감도의 파악은 설계 작업의 핵심적인 역할을 하고 있다. 대개의 경우 진동설계를 위한 설계변수로 구조물의 단위면적, 길이, 재료의 성질과 같은 물리적인 변수를 많이 활용하고 있으며 이러한 변수들에 대한 민감도 해석 기법들은 이미 많은 연구를 통해 실용화되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 변수만으로는 주어진 조건을 만족하도록 설계하기가 어려운 경우가 있다. 이런 경우는 부가구조물을 첨가하여 저진동 설계조건을 만족하는 구조물을 제작하는 것이 보편적이다. 한편, 구조물의 최적화 과정에서 고유진동수를 고려해야 하는 경우가 많다. 저주파 영역의 문제에서는 첫번째 고유진동수가 구조물의 진동량에 관계되는 중요한 요인이 되고, 또한 공진에 의한 문제가 발생했을 경우에는 고유진동수를 옮겨서 공진을 회피할 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 에어컨 실외기의 진동을 저감하고 그로 인한 구조기인 소음을 저감하기 위하여 음압 레벨을 바탕으로 정한 관심 주파수 영역에 고유진동수가 존재하지 않도록 부가구조물을 최적화하였다. 최적화에 필요한 민감도는 신뢰성 있는 유한요소 모델을 구성하는 것이 쉽지 않으므로 실험으로 구한 주파수 응답함수를 이용하였다.

The structure borne noise of the air-conditioner, which degrades the noise quality, is hardly reduced by the general noise treatments. It can be effectively reduced by eliminating the structural vibration which the noise originates from. The rubber vibration isolator prevents the dynamic force induced by the fan driving motor from exciting the chassis structure, which finally reduces the structure borne noise. The dynamic properties of the vibration isolation system such as the natural frequency of the vibration isolation and loss factor of the rubber isolator, need to be experimentally evaluated. In this paper, these dynamic properties were obtained by the resonant method using the impact hammer for 3 types of the isolator specimens. It is known that the isolation natural frequency of the axial direction of the rubber isolator is two times higher than that of the radial direction, and is proportional to the hardness of the rubber specimen.

The conventional methods for noise control attempts to simply reduce the level of product noise. This has been common practice in noise control industry. However, it is very straightforward common sense that we have consider human perception on noise. In this paper, we propose a noise control strategy which takes into account the subjective perception of product noise. We especially has concentrated on a refrigerator noise. The proposed method is composed of 3 steps. Firstly, the actual refrigerator noise signal is measured. Then, to make the sample noise set for subjective assessment the noise signal is edited in 1/3 octave bands. Finally, we establish a strategy of refrigerator noise control by using the results from subjective assessment of these noise signals

The reduction of chopping noise generated from inverter compressor and the piping design reducing vibration are the most important items in the quality of air conditioner. The chopping noise is identified by the study of the relationship between carrier frequency and natural frequency of the compressor shell. The high carrier frequency is the key factor in reduction of carrier noise. To keep the natural frequencies of the system as far as away from the operating frequencies appears to be the most important factor in the design of piping system.

This paper considers a pipeline conveying one-dimensional unsteady flow inside. The dynamics of the fluid-pipe system is represented by two coupled equations of motion for the transverse and axial displacements, which are linearized from a set of partial differential equations which consists of the axial and transverse equations of motion of the pipeline and the equations of momentum and continuity of the internal flow. Because of the complex nature of fluid-pipe interactive mechanism, a very accurate solution method is required to get sufficiently accurate dynamic characteristics of the pipeline. In the literatures, the finite element models have been popularly used for the problems. However, it has been well recognized that finite element method (FEM) may provide poor solutions especially at high frequency. Thus, in this paper, a spectral element model is developed for the pipeline and its accuracy is evaluated by comparing with the solutions by FEM.

An accurate tip position control of a single-link flexible manipulator subjected to torque disturbance is achieved by utilizing so called sliding mode controller with disturbance estimation (SMCDE). After formulating the governing equation of motion in the state 1pace representation, a stable sliding surface is designed via the LQR method. The SMCDE is then synthesized by integrating equivalent sliding mode controller with the disturbance estimator which is featured by an integrated average value of the imposed disturbance over a certain sampling period. The regulating tip motion of the flexible manipulator is evaluated by employing the proposed SMCDE.

A finite element formulation for the static response of the shell with piezoelectric sensor/actuator is derived. The assumed strain formulation and the bubble function improves the performance of the shell element. The verification through the calculation of the static response for the piezoelectic bimorph beam shows that the results agree with those from the theoretical analysis very well.

A practical and effective semi-active on-off control law is developed for vibration attenuation of a natural, multi-degree-of-freedom suspension system, when its operational response mode is available. It does not need the accurate system parameters and dynamics of semi-active actuator. It reduces the total vibratory energy of the system including the work done by external disturbances and the maximum energy dissipation direction of the semi-active control device is tuned to the operational response mode of the structure. The effectiveness of the control law is illustrated with a three degree-of-freedom excavator cabin model.

A four degrees of freedom (dof) motion platform for bicycle simulator is developed. The motion platform, capable of the vertical linear and three angular motions, is designed based on analysis of the typical motion characteristics revealed by the existing six dof bicycle simulator. The platform essentially consists of two parts: the three dof parallel manipulator, consisting of a moving platform, a fixed base and three actuators, and the turntable to generate the yaw motion. The nonlinear kinematics and dynamics of the three dof parallel manipulator with multiple closed loop chains are analyzed for tracking control of the motion platform. The tracking performances of the three control schemes are experimentally compared: the computed torque method (CTM), the sliding mode control (SMC) and the PD control. The CTM and SMC, incorporated with the system dynamics model, are found to be equally better in performance than the PD controller, irrespective of the presence of external disturbance.

Nowadays, base isolation systems such as lead-rubber bearing, elastomer bearing and sliding bearing have been installed to the various structures to prevent the disaster from seismic. The performance of base isolation system have been well proved by model-scale experiments and numerical analysis. However. the seismic response data measured at real large base-isolated structures is still insufficient. This paper presents a seismic monitoring system, acquiring real-time acceleration signals up to 32 channels, displaying time history and spectrum of the signals, storing the acquired data at a PC hard disk, and replaying the saved data. Moreover, the system can be operated without any limitation for monitoring period by automatic management of stored data file. The developed system has been installed at a real base-isolated building using lead-rubber bearings and we expect its seismic response data with ground motion signal can be well licquired in case of earthquake occurrence.

Scattering of surface materials has been known as one of the most important aspects in evaluating the acoustics of concert halls are designed. One of the methods that can reduce the errors in estimating the reverberation time and other acoustic parameters through computer modeling is to calculate scattering coefficient of surface materials. However. so far, no objective and reliable methods measuring scattering coefficient has been suggested. In this situation, ISO has suggested the method of measuring the random-incidence scattering coefficient on surfaces in diffuse field, whereas AES has introduced a method on directional-incidence in free field. In this study, the scattering coefficients of five kinds of hemispheres (1.5, 2.0. 2.5. 3.0. 3.5cm) were measured by using the ISO method in 1:10 reverberation chamber. It was found that 3.0cm hemisphere has the highest scattering coefficient satisfying 95% reliability.

Axial fans are widely used in household electrical appliances due to their easy usage and high flow rate for cooling capacity. At the same time, the noise generated by these fans causes one of serious problems. In order to calculate the noise of a fan, we develop the software IFD - Intranet Fans Design. With this software we can design, analysis the performance and predict the noise of fan. The prediction model, which allowed the calculation of acoustic pressure at the blade passing frequency and it's higher harmonic frequencies, has been developed by Lowson's equation. To calculate the unsteady resultant force of the blade, time-marching free-wake method is used. The objective of this study is to calculate the effects of number of blades, rotating velocity, and sweep angle on the noise of fan..

Fans are widely used in household electrical appliances due to their easy usage and high performance for cooling capacity. However, the noise generated by these fans causes one of serious problems. LG electronics makes the intranet software for design and analysis of fan. Axial, sirocco and centrifugal fan can be designed and analyzed by using the IFD(Intranet Based Fans Design) software. In order to calculate the aeroacoustic noise of a fan, the numerical method, which can calculate the acoustic pressure at the blade passing frequency and its higher harmonic frequencies, has been developed.

While basic input parameters for the performance and noise of axial fan are flow rate, pressure rise, rotating speed, and fan diameter, the geometric parameters of blade are sweep angle, solidity, and camber angle. The sweep angle does not affect fan performance much, but on fan noise significantly. Solidity and camber angle are very critical design parameters acting on the fan performance directly. The solidity and camber angle are closely related, therefore they have to be carefully determined for the low-noise and high-performance fan. In This paper, different design points are selceted and also geometric parameters are deliberately changed for the comparison of fan noise. As a result, at the same performance, the input rotational speed affects radiated noise more significantly than others. When solidity and camber angle are increased more than those by iDesignFan/sup TM/ program, more noise is experienced. The blade sweep method and blade numbers at same solidity are observed to results in different levels of performance and noise.

Recently, many methods are studied to analyze the noise of HDD and to reduce it. In this study, the simulation tool(SPATH) was developed to analyze a noise of HDD. The prediction technique of sound pressure level(SPL) of a given structural shape enables us to design a cover and a base with much less vibration and noise. In this paper, we measured the force of disk-spindle motor and predicted SPL from HDD by computational simulation. To get a SPL of HDD by computational simulation, modal analysis and forced vibration analysis were performed with ANSYS, and sound radiation was computed using SYSNOISE. The calculated results were compared with experimental results and a good agreement was obtained.

This research presents an analytical model to characterize the ball bearing vibration due to the waviness in a rigid rotor supported by multi-row ball bearings considering centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment of ball. The effects of centrifugal force and gyroscopic moment are introduced to the kinematic constraints and force equilibrium equations. The waviness of ball and races is modeled by the superposition of sinusoidal function and it is introduced to position vectors of race curvature center to use the Hertzian contact theory in order to calculate the elastic deflection and nonlinear contact force resulting from the waviness while the rotor has translational and angular motion. They can be determined by solving the nonlinear equations of motion with five degrees of freedom by using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg algorithm. The accuracy of this research is validated by comparing with the results of the prior researches. It characterizes the vibration frequencies resulting from the various kinds of waviness in rolling elements, the harmonic frequencies resulting from the nonlinear load-deflection characteristics of ball bearing resulting from the waviness interaction.

This research numerically analyzes the dynamic characteristics of a coupled journal and thrust hydrodynamic bearing due to its groove location which has the static load due to the weight of a rotor in the axial direction and the dynamic load due to its mass unbalance in the radial direction. The Reynolds equation is transformed to solve a plain member rotating type of journal bearing(PMRJ), a grooved member rotating type of journal bearing (GMRJ), a plain member rotating type of thrust bearing (PMRT) and a grooved member rotating type of thrust bearing (GMRT). FEM is used to solve the Reynolds equations in order to calculate the pressure distribution in a fluid film. Reaction forces and friction torque are obtained by integrating the pressure and shear stress along the fluid film, respectively. Dynamic behaviors, such as whirl radius or floating height of a rotor, are determined by solving its nonlinear equations of motion with the Runge-Kutta method. This research shows that the groove location affects the pressure distribution in the fluid film and consequently the dynamic performance of a HDD spindle system.

This paper suggests the finite element method to analyze the dynamic characteristics of a rotating HDD system including the supporting structure with general shape. The flexible supporting structure was modeled by tetrahedra elements to produce a finite element model of disk-spindle-shaft-housing system and the dynamic characteristics of the HDD system was investigated due to the change of rotating speed. The validity of the presented method was verified by the modal testing. The supporting structure has an crucial effect on lower modes for HDD system, so that it is required to consider the supporting structure to accurately analyze the dynamic characteristics of HDD system.

Free non-linear vibration of a rotating thin ring with a constant speed is analyzed when the ring has both the in-plane and out-of-plane motions. The geometric non-linearity of displacements is considered by adopting the Lagrange strain theory for the circumferential strain. By using Hamilton's principle, the coupled non-linear partial differential equations are derived, which describe the out-of-plane and in-plane bending, extensional and torsional motions. The natural frequencies are calculated from the linearized equations at various rotational speeds. Finally, the computation results from three non-linear models are compared with those from a linear model. Based on the comparison, this study recommends which model is appropriate to describe the non- linear behavior more precisely.

Disc brake squeal is caused by mechanical vibrations generated from friction force excitations exerted by the pad on the rotor. In order to understand the origin of these vibrations and to speed up the design, the characterization of the individual brake system components is desirable.

Recently, the high precision technology can not be developed continuously if we don't have anti vibration technology. Vibration isolation technology using an air spring and laminated robber bearing is widely used because it has excellent vibration isolation characteristics. We developed high precision vibration table with two good element(air spring and LRB) for semiconductor factory. Air Spring is used for isolating the vertical vibration and LRB is used for isolating the horizontal Vibration. As a result, It has D-Class degree in BBR-Criteria. In this paper, we talk about orifice characteristics in the self-damped air spring and design flow of the laminated robber bearing. The orifice characteristics is delicate shade of length and diameter. When we do experimentation to find orifice characteristics, length is fixed and diameter is changed. The orifice diameter is the wider and the air spring stiffness is the softer.

Dynamic stability of a rotary oscillating cantilever beam is presented in this study. Using the stretch deformation instead of the conventional axial deformation, three linear partial differential equations are derived from Hamilton's principle and transformed into dimensionless forms. Stability diagrams of the first order approximate solutions are obtained by using the multiple scale perturbation method. The stability diagrams show that relatively large unstable regions exist near the combination of the first chordwise bending natural frequency and the first stretch natural frequency. This result is verified by using the generalized-
${\alpha}$ method. -
In this study, nonlinear vibration analysis of the cylindrical orthotropic porous thin plate under V-shaped tension distribution with wire impact damping is considered. We make dynamic model of the plate under the tension using commercial FEM code and reduce the number of its degrees of freedom using dynamic condensation. The dynamic model of wire is obtained as lumped mass model from string equation. And then we analyze the nonlinear vibration of the plate including the impact phenomenon between the plate and the wire using the reduced mass and stiffness matrices of the plate and lumped model of the wire. The contact phenomenon between them can be described by impact contact elements composed of contact stiffness coefficients from Hertzian contact theory and contact damping coefficients from restitution coefficient between them. And we discussed the results of nonlinear vibration analysis for variations of their design parameters.

The purpose of this work is to suggest a new non-contact measurement method applicable to the diagnosis of rotating shafts. Longitudinal elastic waves propagating along the shafts are measured by magnetostrictive sensors that make use of the coupling phenomena between strains and magnetic induction in ferromagnetic shafts. These sensors have been successfully applied in pipes and others, but it appears that the present application of them to rotating shafts is made here for the first time. Several isssues appearing in the present application are carefully investigated and several experimental results are presented to address the usefulness of the present method.

The concept of a new linear motor that uses piezo-stack actuator is demonstrated. The working principle is far different from the conventional inchworm motor. This motor is based on the self-moving cell concept. The linear motor has three cells and each cell is constructed with one piezo-stack actuator and a shell structure. A cell train is constructed by connecting these cells and the cell train is fitted into a guide way with a proper interference. The cell train moves along the guide way, by activating each cell in succession. The moving motion of the motor is tested. Since this linear motor uses piezo-stack actuator with unified clamping cell, it can produce fast speed, high resolution and large push force.

Structure-borne noise and vibration is one of the main complaints of home appliances such as refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, etc. There have been many efforts to reduce the emitting noise and vibration. Mostly the efforts have been concentrated to optimize the mounts shape and its material properties realizing that the vibration power is mainly transmitted to the structure via mounts. It is known that softer mounts have the better vibration isolation effect. But mounts have another important function in addition to the vibration isolation. That is to support the motor and compressor safely. Thus mounts should be stiff enough to resist the supporting items. But the two properties, stiff and soft, are contradict each other. So the designer should compromise the two complicity properties properly in between. Noticing that, motors and compressors themselves are very quite until they are connected to the base structure via mounts, wire connecting idea was proposed in this work. Instead of using conventional mounts, as shown in Fig 4, compressor was mounted using six wires as shown in Fig 5. Since wire is very flexible in bending but stiff in tension, we can realize the ideal mount design requirements, stiff enough to support and soft enough to isolate vibration power. The suggesting idea was tested with an air conditioner outdoor unit.

Identification of systems operating in closed loop has long been of prime interest in industrial applications. The fundamental problem with closed-loop data is the correlation between the unmeasurable noise and the input. This is the reason why several methods that work in open loop fail when applied to closed-loop data. The prediction error based approaches to the closed-loop system are divided to direct method and indirect method. Both of direct and indirect methods are known to be applied to the closed-loop data without critical modification. But the direct method induces the bias error in the experimental frequency response function and this bias error may deteriorates the parameter estimation performance

Industrial products determined by fixed size posses definite limits variety by manufacture tolerance in existence. The optimum value solved by deterministic approaches do not account of tolerance bands of design variables and material properties. If we examine optimum value considering tolerance bands of design variables and material properties, it might be useless, owing to exist infeasible region. We have two ways to prevent being useless value. The one is to minimize tolerance band, the other is to consider tolerance band in optimum design. The former needed more accuracy during manufacturing process require higher production cost, the letter is more appropriate to consider tolerance band. In this research, we consider the tolerance bands of all variables, which might have the tolerance bands used in the problem, based on optimum value of deterministic approaches. Orthogonal arrays are used to minimize the number of trial. Tolerance bands are supposed discretionary according to design variable. Appropriateness suggested by this research is examined through two examples. Mathematical problem is investigated only in terms of tolerance bands of design variables, and cantilever beam problem is explained through tolerance bands of design variable, material properties and loading conditions. It is proved that values from the presented method are satisfactory for tolerance bands of variables.

This paper shows the optimum design of the fluid engine mount. The design has been modified by trial and error because there is many design parameters that can be varied in order to obtain resonant and notch frequencies, and notch depth. It seems to be a great application for optimal design for the mount. Many combinations of parameters are possible to give us the desired resonant and notch frequencies, but the question is which combination provides the lowest resonant peak and notch depth\ulcorner In this study, the enhanced artificial life algorithm is applied to get the desired notch frequency of a fluid mount and minimize transmissibility at the notch frequency. The present hybrid algorithm is the synthesis of an artificial life algorithm with the random tabu (R-tabu) search method. The hybrid algorithm has some advantages, which is not only faster than the conventional artificial life algorithm, but also gives a more accurate solution. In addition, this algorithm can find all global optimum solutions. The results show that the performance of a conventional engine mount can be improved significantly compared with the optimized mount.

Vibration control of a plate using an optical fiber sensor and a PZT actuator is considered in this study. An aluminum plate with attached Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometer (EFPI) and PZT actuator is prepared for experimental investigation. Vibration level of EFPI that can represent the mechanical strain without severe distortion is validated by forced vibration experiment. A numerical model of the plate is constructed based on the experimentally obtained frequency responses, and an optimal controller is designed for the multi-modal vibration suppression. It is found that the vibration level of the first three modes can be greatly reduced. The effect of low-pass filtering used to eliminate high frequency noise on the stability and control performance is also considered.

Two-phase BLDC(brushless DC) motor has larger torque ripple than three-phase BLDC motor because of its unique skeleton-type structure. An electronic switching mechanism to change the current-direction of the BLDC motor can be a source of vibration as well as unbalanced rotor weight. A proper switching timing which makes less vibrations was considered by changing the position of sensing element around the center of rotation. Also, the current of the motor was measured for the calculation of the motor efficiency. From the vibration test results and with the consideration of the motor efficiency, an optimal switching position of the Hall sensor was found.

This paper introduces a Lorentz force type four-pole self-bearing motor, where the new pole arrangement of a stator is intended to function both as a synchronous PM motor and as a magnetic bearing. The Lorentz force type has some good points such as linearity of control force, freedom from flux saturation, and high efficiency unlike conventional self-bearing motors. Mathematical expressions of torque and radial force are derived to show that they can be separately controlled regardless of rotational speed and time. To verify the proposed theory, a prototype is made, where a ring-shape outer is actively controlled in two radial directions while the other motions are passively stable supposing the radial stability. Through some experiments, it is shown that the proposed scheme can provide high capability and feasibility for a small high-speed self-bearing motor.

Identification of damage of structures has recently received considerable attention in the light of maintenance and safety assessment. In this respect, the vibration characteristics of buildings have been applied steadily to obtain a damage index of the whole building, but it cannot be established as a practical method until now. A practical method for the estimation of structural damage using the first natural frequency and mode shape of building is proposed in this paper. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical and experimental tests. From the results, it is observed that severity and location of damage can be estimated with a relatively small error by using modal properties of building.

Seismic qualification of the Main Control Boards for nuclear power plants has been performed with the guideline of AS ME Section III. US NRC Reg. Guide and IEEE 344 code. The analysis model of the Main Control Boards is consist of beam. shell and mass element by using the finite element method. and, at the same time. the excitation forces and other operating loads for each model are encompassed with respect to different loading conditions. As the fundamental frequencies of the structure are found to be less than 33Hz. which is the upper frequency limit of the seismic load, the response spectrum analysis using ANSYS is performed in order to combine the modal stresses within the frequency limit. In order to confirm the structural and functional integrity of the major components, modal analysis theory is adopted to derive the required response spectrum at the component locations. As all the combined stresses obtained from the above procedures are less than allowable stresses and no mechanical or electrical failures are found from the seismic testing, it concludes the Main Control Boards is dynamically qualified for seismic conditions. Although the authors had confirmed the structural and functional integrity of both Main Control Boards and all the component, in this paper only the seismic analysis of the Main Control Board is introduced.

In this research, we developed a computer program that designs a centrifugal impeller and diffuser, and predicts the far-field noise from the impeller. To design the impeller optimally, the TEIS model, which was originally developed by Japkise(1985), and the mean-line analysis are combined to predict the performance and design the optimal impeller simultaneously. The geometric configurations are provided by a GUI software (iDesignComp). The noise from impeller can be computed by the rapid loading procedure, which generates a surface between two blades and calculates the pressure distributions on the suction and pressure sides. The steady loading noise is computed by the rotating dipole source distribution via Ffowcs Williams & Hawkings equation.

Measurement techniques for the in-duct source characteristics of fluid machines can be classified into direct method and load method, according to whether the technique employs an external acoustic source or not. It has been known that the two methods yield different results and the load method used to come up with a negative source resistance, in spite of the fact that a very accurate prediction of radiated noise can be obtained by using any result. This paper is focused to the effect of time-varying nature of fluid machines on the output result. For this purpose, a simplified fluid machine consisting of a reservoir, a valve and a pipe is considered as representing a typical linear, periodic, time-varying system and the measurement techniques are simulated by utilizing the Hill equation and its steady-state forced response. In the load method, the source impedance turns out being dependent on the valve impedance at the calculation frequency and the valve and load impedances at other frequencies as well.

A centrifugal fan design code was developed and packaged together with iDesignFan/sup TM/ as new models. This code generate centrifugal forward curved and backward curved bladed impeller optimally. It also predicts the aerodynamic performance and the overall sound pressure level of the rotating fan by assuming steady blade loading. The overall sound pressure level is used as an input parameter from the third loop of the designing process to acquire the most silent fan for the given aerodynamic performance parameters. With this kind of inverse design concept used in the code, the period of designing a fan is significantly shortened. A centrifugal fan design code, developed in this study and included in iDesignFan/sup TM/, predicts the aerodynamic performance such as design flow rate and static pressure. The aerodynamic performance in the design and off-design conditions is calculated by using the mean line analysis. For the steady loading calculation, the lift force distribution in a blade is used.
