The primary suspension system of a railway vehicle restrains the wheelset and the bogie, which greatly affects the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle depending on the stiffness in each direction. In order to improve the dynamic characteristics, different stiffness in each direction is required. However, designing different stiffness in each direction is difficult in the case of a general suspension device. To address this, in this paper, an optimization technique is applied to design different stiffness in each direction by using a conical rubber spring. The optimization is performed by using target and analysis RMS values. Lastly, the final model is proposed by complementing the shape of the weak part of the model. An actual model is developed and the reliability of the optimization model is proved on the basis of a deviation average of about 7.7% compared to the target stiffness through a static load test. In addition, the stiffness value is applied to a multibody dynamics model to analyze the stability and curve performance. The critical speed of the improved model was 190km/h, which was faster than the maximum speed of 110km/h. In addition, the steering performance is improved by 34% compared with the conventional model.

기계명면시일의 접촉 운동면에서 유체가 비압축성이고, 점서의 영향을 받는 경우에 대한 체적 누설 유동량과 마찰 토오크를 멱급수의 방법을 이용하여 추정하였다. 본 연구에서 고려되고 있는 설계인자로 시일의 경사도, 접촉 운동면에서의 사인파형, 코우닝, 열탄성 변화량, 마모량, 시일의 스프링 강성도에 따른 축방향의 변화량을 종합적으로 고려하여 해석하였다. 계산된 결과에 의하면 특히 회전속도가 증가되면 열탄성 변화량에 의한 시일의 누설 유동량과 마찰 토오크는 커다란 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타나고 있다.

In order to meet the growing demands for higher storage density as well as lower noise level, the spindles in hard disk drives are to be supported by hydrodynamic bearings in place of conventional ball-type ones. However, the existing models are inappropriate to apply to accurate prediction of vibration characteristics because the HDD spindle tends to take quite a complex shape to secure its performance and cost-effectiveness. In this context, this paper treats analysis of free and forced vibrations of such-designed HDD spindles based on more sophisticated models and validations via experiments. Remarkably, to this end all the components in the system are modeled as elastic adopting the finite element method.

공작기계의 정밀도는 가공물의 최종 치수 정밀도와 직접적으로 연계되는 공작기계의 전체적 성능 평가를 위한 주요인자 중의 하나이다. 공작기계 위치 결정 정밀도에가장 큰 영항을 주는 인자로서는 이송계의강성, Back lash, 안내면의 습동저항 그리고 이송 계의 자세변화등이 해당된다. 본 연구에서는 이송나사로구동되는 CNC 원통 연삭기의 숫돌대(Wheel Head)축 이송 구동계의 오차발생 요인에 대해 실험적인 검토를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 이송 구동계의 정강성에따른 영향과 이송 안내면의 각운동에 의한 위치정밀도 영향 및 위치 검출 장치의 종류에 따른 위치오차의 재현성(Repeatatility)의 유무를 레이 저 간섭계를 이용한 정밀 측정을 통하여 비교 검토함에 의해 이송 오차를 최소화 시킬 수 있는 CNC 공작기계이송 구동축 설계의 기본 방향을 마련하는데 역점을 두고 연구를 수행하게 되었다.

The longitudinal steel connection of reinforced concrete bridge column is sometimes practically unavoidable, however the current Korean bridge design specifications have no special provisions about lap-splices of longitudinal steel. This paper reports experimental results of a research program investigating the seismic performance of circular RC bridge columns with respect to longitudinal steel connection detailing. Twenty-one circular column specimens were tested under quasi-static test. The columns with the entire longitudinal steel lap-spliced within plastic hinge region show relatively sudden strength degradation and low ductility than the columns with continuous longitudinal steel and the columns with half of longitudinal steel lap-spliced. However, the seismic performance of the column with mechanically connected longitudinal steel is similar to that of the column with continuous longitudinal steel. The final objectives of this study are to suggest appropriate longitudinal reinforcement connection details for the limited ductility design concept and to provide quantitative reference data and tendency for performance or damage assessment based on the performance levels such as cracking, yielding, collapse, etc. Ultimate displacement/drift ratio, displacement ductility, response modification factor, equivalent viscous damping ratio, residual deformation index, and effective stiffness are investigated and discussed in this paper.

The general equation of equilibrium is presented for a stiffened plate on which the stiffeners having rectangular cross-sections are attached by one or both sides with arbitrarily angles. The principle of minimum potential energy is applied using the concept of adjusted-centroid to derive the equilibrium equation for the stiffened plate. Equivalent rigidities in the present theory are in good agreement with the experiments by the vibration method.

The extended tangent stiffness matrices and force-deformation relations of the elastic catenary element were initially derived through the addition of the unstrained length of cables to unknown nodal displacements. A beam-column element was then introduced to model the deck and pylon of cable-stayed bridges. The conventional geometric nonlinear analysis, initial force method, and TCUD method were summarized, with an effective method combining two methods presented to determine the initial shapes of cable-stayed bridges with dead loads. In this combined method, TCUD method was applied to eliminate vertical and horizontal displacements at cable-supported points of decks and on top of pylons, respectively. The initial force method was also adopted to eliminate horizontal and vertical displacements of decks and pylons, Finally, the accuracy and validity of the proposed combined method were demonstrated through numerical examples.

The mechanical characteristics of three types of core with two-dimensional isotropic patterns-triangular, hexagonal and starcell-were studied in applications to sandwich structures. The Young's modulus and shear modulus were calculated for the three core types in the direction normal to the faces. The compressive buckling strength and shear buckling strength were calculated by modeling each cell wall of the core as a plate under compressive or shear load. To verify this model, tests were conducted on scaled specimens to measure the compressive buckling strength of each core. The bending flexibilites of the three cores were also studied. Compliances for the three cores were measured using biaxial flexural tests. The three isotropic core patterns exhibited distinct characteristics. In the direction normal to the faces, all three cores had the same stiffness. However, the starcell core exhibited high flexibility compared to the other cores, indicating potential for application to curved sandwich structures.

The objective of the study in this paper was to develop a beam-column element to model members with purely flexural yielding, as well as members with yielding under combined flexure and axial force during severe earthquake ground motins. The developed element can be considered as an one-component series hinge type model. It has the capability to model plastic axial deformation and changes in axial stiffness, and employs hardening rules to handle monotonic, cyclic or arbitrary loading. In general, when compared to experimental results and fiber model predictions, the element showed significantly better performance than the bilinear hinger model and could properly model the beam-column behavior of bare steel members in moment resisting frames. The developed element can more accurately predict local deformation demands and overall responses of structural systems under earthquake loadings than the bilinear hinge element.

This study presented analytical and numerical solutions for spatial free vibration of nonsymmetric thin-walled circular curved beams. The closed-form solutions were obtained for in-plane free vibration analylsis of monosymmetric curved beams. Likewise, two types of thin-walled curved beam elements were developed using the third and the fifth order Hermitian polynomials. In order to illustrate the accuracy and usefulness of the present method, this study presented analytical and numerical solution and compared these with the results using the ABAQUS's shell elements. In particular, effects of the thickness-curvature as well as the inextensional condition were investigated on the free vibration of curved beams with nonsymmetric sections.
