In most tunnel constructions in South Korea, blasting has been widely used as an excavation method. In tunnel blasting, the center-cut to induce first free surface is very important for enhancing excavation efficiency and reducing vibration caused by exploding. This paper introduces new center-cut method named SAV-cut (Stage Advance V-cut) developed on the concept of V-cut. Significant features of SAV-cut are the center hole and stepwise ignition. Many field tests and numerical analysis were carried out to analyze the mechanical behavior and blasting vibration. From the results, the newly developed SAV-cut was proved as an effective center-cut method for both increasing blasting efficiency and decreasing blasting vibration.

To reduce noise inside an elevated railroad station, the vibration of the station structure should be lowered, and to establish more effective anti-vibration measures it is required that, reflecting the track-bridge-structure interaction, the transfer characteristics of vibration induced by a train is well identified. In this paper, the current status of domestic railroad stations is classified, and the vibration transfer characteristics is analyzed via measurement data from representative elevated stations. From the analysis results on the measurement data, in transferring vibration from the track to the structure, remarkable vibration reduction in higher frequency range is observed, and, in some stations, amplified response characteristics in lower frequency range is identified. Also, for stations with floating track system or TPS type, relatively greater reduction in transferred vibration is observed.

Magnetic gears have the same characteristics as mechanical gears, and each rotor does not come in contact, which is advantageous over mechanical gears in friction noise, heat generation, and maintenance. In addition, when the rotor using the coil-winding is applied, it is possible to control the output of the gear as well as to cut off its own drive in the emergency situation and to change its gear ratio. So the application of the magnetic gear is infinite. However, when the coil-winding rotor is used, cogging torque due to the attraction force between the permanent magnet and the iron core appears, which leads to an increase in the torque ripple component causing the rotor vibration. Therefore, in this paper, various shapes of the coil-winding rotor are analyzed to reduce the torque ripple of the rotor, and the optimum shape for reducing the torque ripple of the magnetic gear is presented.

In this study, the effects were analyzed by applying the vibration absorption liner into the guide rail bracket as a part of method to reduce the vibration and noise on the high-rise apartment. As the result of vibration absorption liner performance, it was checked that the level of vibration and noise was reduced around 65.49% in the car side and around 90.05% in the counterweight side. Therefore, the vibration absorption effect by the vibration absorption liner of elevator guide rail bracket became fairly good. In case of the vibration absorption liner application, there was an effect on the reduction of 7.26 to 22.22% at hoistway section area, 3,840,000 to 9,780000 KRW at the cost of material and installation by comparing with the damping beam application. Also, in case of the vibration absorption liner application with light weight instead of damping beam with heavy weight, it was thought to become significant effect at preventing the safety from the accidents on installation site.

At the fuel processing system (FPS) of fuel cell vehicle, hydrogen recirculation blower (HRB) is used for the recirculation of remained hydrogen after reaction. In this paper, noise and vibration improvement of HRB is studied by changing design and control. It is checked the campbell diagram and critical speed for stability of rotor, and housing stiffness is improved using simulation of frequency response function (FRF). A method is suggested that can decrease the unbalance amount of the rotor and impeller which main source of noise and vibration. In order to reduce the noise during deceleration of blower, electrical braking is applied and tested the risk impact of durability. Founded the optimum switching frequency of the motor control, and reduced the idle rpm by increasing of aerodynamic performance. The superiority of paper is proved by measurement of the improved product's noise and vibration.

In this study, a new hybrid mount with a moving-coil-type electromagnetic actuator is developed to reduce the vibration transmitted from naval shipboard equipment to the ship hull structure. The detailed design of the hybrid mount is determined through several design stages with electromagnetic numerical analysis using Maxwell software. The hybrid mount, which combines a rubber mount with an electromagnetic actuator, has a fail-safe function for shock resistance. The mount is fabricated and tested using a universal testing machine to check the design specifications. Finally, control tests are carried out on the hybrid mount to confirm its performance and applicability.

In this study floor impact noise and structure acceleration response of bare concrete slabs were predicted by using Finite Element Analysis(FEA). Prediction results were compared with experimental results to prove the accuracy of numerical model. Acoustic absorption were addressed by using panel impedance coefficients with frequency characteristics and structural modal damping of numerical model were applied by modal testing results and analysis of prediction and test results. By using frequency response function, the floor acceleration and acoustic pressure responses for various impact sources were calculated at the same time. In the FEA, the natural frequencies and the shapes of vibration and acoustic modes can be estimated through the eigen-value analysis, and it can be visually seen the vibration and sound pressure field and the contribution of major modes.

It is necessary to minimize ground vibration and noise due to blasting work in urban environment. The blast induced ground vibration and noise are generally generated by a portion of detonation energy, where most of the energy is utilized for rock breakage and movement of rock mass. Recently a blast method utilizing U-shaped steel charge holder was suggested to reduce the ground vibration without decreasing destructive power toward the free surface. In this study, single hole blasting utilizing U-shaped steel charge holder were simulated and the stress waves caused by the detonation of explosives were monitored using AUTODYN software. In order to examine the fragmentation efficiency of the U-shaped steel charge holder, one free face blasting models which adapt the blast induced stress waves were simulated by dynamic fracture process analysis (DFPA) code. In addition, the general blasting models were also simulated to investigate the fragmentation effectiveness of the U-shaped steel charge holder in rock blasting.

In a link motion punch press, numerous links are interconnected and each link executes a constrained motion at high speed. As a consequence, dynamic unbalance force and moment are transmitted to the main frame of the press, which results in unwanted vibration. This degrades productivity and precise stamping work of the press. This paper presents an effective method for reducing dynamic unbalance in a link motion punch press based upon kinematic and dynamic analyses. Firstly, the kinematic analysis is carried out in order to understand the fundamental characteristics of the link motion mechanism. Then design variable approach is presented in order to automate the model setup for the mechanism whenever design changes are necessary. To obtain the inertia properties of the links such as mass, mass moment of inertia, and the center of mass, 3-dimensional CAD software was utilized. Dynamic simulations were carried out for various combinations of design changes on some links having significant influences on kinematic and dynamic behavior of the mechanism.

The present study deals with the investigation about the improvement of performance of tidal stream turbine blade (HAT) with tip rake. HAT impeller has sometimes experienced noise and vibration by Tip vortex which causes even erosion and severe efficiency loss to the blade, The newly proposed tip rake impeller can make the tip vortex week compared with a normal impeller by preventing the three dimensional effect at tip region. In order to find out the optimum rake impeller, three cases have been designed and the performance of the designed rake impellers has been validated by the commercial CFD code(Fluent). The efficiency of optimized rake impeller was up to 4.6% higher than the conventional impeller. The more parametric study for high efficiency and good cavitation performance is expected to be conducted in a near future.
