This paper (Part II) provides the application results of the method presented in a companion paper (Part I) where the dynamic equation for rotating polar orthotropic disk is formulated and its solution method is considered. The natural frequencies and critical speed of polycarbonate CD are calculated to validate the present method and are shown to by very accurate. The critical speeds of typical GFRP and CFRP CD's are computed by aligning the fibers in radial and circumferential directions. The radially reinforced CFRP CD is shown to have the five times higher critical speed than that of the polycarbonate CD. The natural frequencies and critical speeds of disks with various elastic modulus ratios are obtained. The results show that the radially reinforced disk is more effective in increasing critical speed than the circumferentially reinforced disk.

This paper presents the free vibration analysis of a circular plate with a concentric square hole. The present problem deals with the numerical calculation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of vibration of the structure by means of Independent Coordinate Coupling Method (ICCM). In this study, the boundary condition is the edge of the square hole is free and the outer circular plate is simply supported. Due to the geometric abnormality, this analysis does not permit an exact solution. Since the ICCM employs coordinate systems corresponding to each domain independently, the kinetic and potential energy expressions necessary for the Rayleigh-Ritz method can be easily obtained. Lastly, the kinematic relation is imposed. In this way, the eigenvalue problem can be easily set up. The numerical results show the efficacy of the ICCM and changes in natural frequencies and modes due to the square hole size.

The pumping characteristics of a single-stage disk-type drag pump (DTDP) are calculated for the variation of the vertical clearance between a rotor and stator by the three-dimensional direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The gas flow mainly belongs to the molecular transition flow region. Spiral channels of a DTDP are cut on the both the upper and lower sides of a rotating disk, but a stationary disk is planar. The interaction between molecules is described by the variable hard-sphere model. The no time counter method is used as a collision sampling technique. The vertical clearance has a significant effect on the pumping performance. Experiments are performed under the outlet pressure range of 0.4∼533 Pa. When the numerical results are compared with the experimental data, the numerical results agree well quantitatively

The shrouded corotating disk flow has a simple figure on geometric basis, but has various and complicated forms of flow. this complicated flows can be variously applied to not only information storage device, but also turbomachinery which is greatly influenced by centrifugal force. This study measured its velocity to measure inner flow field with unique flow field univluenced, using LDV and subminiature hot-wire. The result of experiment shows that distribution limits of solid body rotation region, dimensionless velocity gradient and distribution limits of disk surface boundary layer(Ekman layer) are changed by the gap of disks and rotating speed. Circulating vortex which is near the shroud is effected by the gap of disks and rotating speed.

A circular plate is the main part of a circular saw blade, which is widely used in industrial cutting tools. In experiments using a circular saw containing slots, we observed that a number of natural frequencies are simultaneously emerged in specific frequency regions. The interesting phenomenon is called the frequency convergence. Effects of design parameters such as the number, the length and the width of slots, on the frequency-convergence phenomenon are analyzed by FEM simulations using ALGOR. The frequency-convergence phenomenon will be intensified when the number, length and width of slots increase.

The rate of wear of cam followers in a valve train system is mainly a function of contact stress between the cam and the follower, sliding velocity and hydrodynamic film thickness between the two mating surfaces. The wear or surface fatigue can be reduced by maximizing the elastohydrodynamic film thickness. In this paper, an attempt has been made to estimate the optimal specific film thickness of cam-follower system quantitatively. A general TES polynomial function with real values of exponents is developed and genetic algorithm (GA) is used as optimization techniques for maximizing the minimum specific film thickness. The optimization programs enumerate values of the exponents for synthesis of cam displacement curves. The results show that the minimum film thickness can be increased considerably, e.g. approximately 7% in this paper.

Rotating annular disks are widely used in data storage devices such as CDs, DVDs(digital versatile disks), and HDs(hard disks). Higher data transfer rate in data storage disks could not be achieved by polycarbonate disks in the present market. The problem can be solved by applying the fiber-reinforce composite materials to the disks. In this paper, an application of composite materials to rotating disks is proposed to increase the critical speed. Dynamic equation is formulated in order to calculate the natural frequency and critical speed for rotating composite disks by the Galerkin method. The orthogonal functions are used in series solution. A companion paper(Part II) presents and discusses the numerical results of vibration analysis and critical speed for rotating polar orthotropic disk using the formulation and solution method given in this paper (Part I).

The stress of the rotating disc with several types of hole was investigated in detail in this paper. Maximum circumferential stress of rotating disc by changing hole shape with same area, were studied using FEM. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The disc which rotates at high speed is subjected to circumferential stress remarkably. 2. When the number of circular holes in rotating disc is four, stress reduction effect is maximum. 3. When shape of holes in rotating disc is cylindrical elongated hole, maximum circumferential stress of the rotating disc decreased most.

In order to examine the validity of an asymptotic solution for nonlinear interaction in asymmetric vibration modes of a perfect circular plate, we obtain the numerical solution. The motion of the plate is governed by nonlinear partial differential equation. The initial and boundary value problem is solved by using the finite difference method. The numerical solution is compared with the asymptotic solution. It is found that traveling waves relating clockwise and counterclockwise as well as standing wave are depicted by the numerical solution.

Piezoelectric torsional transducers have been fabricated to generate torsional waves in a rod. The principle of generating torsional wane is based on the use of the circumferential shear motion derived by axial voltage exerted on the piezoelectric disk poled in the circumferential direction. The natural frequency or the piezoelctric torsional dish has been reduced by fabricating Langevin-type torsional transducers. The natural frequecies of the fabricated transducers have been measured and have shown good agreement with the characteristics predicted by analysis.
