This study provided the analytical model describing the friction-induced noise in the ball joint system under the edge loading condition. The frictional and conformal contact kinematics between the spherical bearing and the hemispherical socket was derived and the dynamic equations of the perturbed motion were established. The numerical results revealed that the bending modes of the ball joint system can become unstable due to friction, and the axial load and contact stiffness strongly influenced the dynamic instability. In contrast, the tilting angle of the socket was not found to significantly contribute to the dynamic instability of the ball joint.

This paper deals with the comparison of analysis methodologies by applying both Euler angle and quaternion to observe the kinematical behavior of the universal joint system used as an automotive drive-shaft. At first, conventional approaches are applied to predict a kinematical behavior by introducing only Euler angles into the universal joint system, but turns out to be lack in consistency and reliability of the analysis. Then to overcome this deficiency in numerical analysis a different methodology is proposed by using quaternion in this system. Its corresponding advantage is discussed in terms of kinetic energy, rotational velocity and rotational displacement. The application of quaternions in the numerical experiment is shown to be a more useful and valid way of establishing the ideal analytical model of the universal joint system.

An experimental method based on contact resonance is developed to extract the contact parameters of mechanical joints under various clamped conditions. Mechanical joint parameters of shear contact stiffness and damping were extracted for different physical joint parameters such as surface finish of the mating surfaces, the presence of lubrication, the effect of the clamping pressure, and shear load. It was found that the shear contact stiffness values decreased with increasing clamping load and increased with increasing shear loading. Contact damping ratio values were almost constant with clamping load, but decreased with increasing shear load. Moreover, rough surfaces exhibited the highest shear stiffness and contact damping compared to smooth surfaces.

We present a P-type iterative learning control(ILC) scheme for uncertain robotic systems that perform the same tasks repetitively. The proposed ILC scheme comprises a linear feedback controller consisting of position error, and a feedforward and feedback teaming controller updated by current velocity error. As the learning iteration proceeds, the joint position and velocity mrs converge uniformly to zero. By adopting the learning gain dependent on the iteration number, we present joint position and velocity error bounds which converge at the arbitrarily tuned rate, and the joint position and velocity errors converge to zero in the iteration domain within the adopted error bounds. In contrast to other existing P-type ILC schemes, the proposed ILC scheme enables analysis and tuning of the convergence rate in the iteration domain by designing properly the learning gain.

A general formulation of the long cylinder tolerance design for the joint structure is here presented. The aim of this paper is to calculate the tolerance of joint by defining tolerance as a kind of uncertainty and to obtain the robustness of the joint structure. It is formulated on the bases of the minimum sensitivity theorem. The objective function is the tolerance sensitivity for the Von-Mises stress. It also took into full account the stress, displacement and weight constraints. PLBA(Pshenichny-Lim-Belegundu-Arora) algorithm is used to solve the constrained nonlinear optimization problem. The finite element analysis is performed with CST(Constant-Strain-Triangle) axisymmetric element. Sensitivities for design variables are calculated by the direct differentiation method. The numerical result is presented for the cylindrical structure where the joint tolerance is treated as random variables.

The constant velocity joint(CVJ) used for transmitting torque to the front wheels is an important part in automotive drive system. There are several types of constant velocity joints. Typically, they are classified by fixed and plunging constant velocity joints. The axial force generated in plunging constant velocity joints influences significantly the noise, vibration and harshness. For heaps of time, many constant velocity joint markers have been studying and developing a valid method to reduce the axial force and extensive tests have been carried out on rigs. This paper presents the analysis method to predict the axial force of a double offset constant velocity joint(DOJ), a kind of plunging constant velocity joint, and the influence of ball-cage dimension tolerance on the axial force.

해양구조물의 원통형 조인트에 대한 파괴역학적 피로수명 산출방법이 개발되었다. 개발된 방법을 이용해서 2평면 K형 조인트에 대한 피로수명을 구체적인 파괴역학적 방법으로 산출 하였다. 이 분석을 위해 용접부위 표면균열의 응력확대 계수를 3차원 유한요소법에 의해 계산하였다. 계산된 결과에 의하면 용접부위 표면균열 첨단은 단순한 Mode I형태를 보이지 않고 Mode I, II, III이 복합된 형태임이 입증되었다. 계산된 응력확대 계수를 사용해서 16개의 용접부위균열 성장형태를 일반적인 피로균열 성장법칙을 적용해서 계산하였고, 균열성장의 안정분석을 통해 각 균열의 최종 파괴상태를 파괴해석도면(failure assessment diagram)법을 이용해서 계산하였다.

Lower Arm은 전차축식 현가장치에 사용되는 자동차부품으로 바퀴에서 발생되는 제동력이나 코너링력 등을 지탱하는 장치이다. V형의 상하 2개의 서스펜션암의 축에 의해 츠레임에 장착되고 좌우에 있는 Lower Arm끝부분은 볼조인트 및 부싱에 의해 스티어링 너클에 부착된다. 압입부품들은 자동차의 주행중 발생하는 외력에 의하여 이탈될 수 있는 위험성에 항상 노출되어 있어 자동차에 사용하는 압입부품들의 이탈력은 매우 중요하지만 한번 이탈시킨 Lower Arm은 이탈력이 현저히 저하되기 때문에 이탈력 측정에 의한 품질관리는 전량검사가 불가능하게 된다. 본 연구는 Lower Arm에 압입되는 볼조인트의 압입력을 압입거리에 따라 측정하여 Lower Arm에 뚫어진 볼조인트 압입구멍의 크기와 압입력의 상관관계를 실험적으로 구할수 있는 크기와 압입력의 상관관계를 실험적으로 구할 수 있는 모니터링 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.
