Vibration of disk drive spindle is one of the major limiting factors in achieving higher track densities in hard disk drives. Vibration of a BLDC motor is a coupled phenomenon between mechanical characteristics and magnetic origins through the motor air-gap. In this paper, radial magnetic forces for symmetric and asymmetric BLDC motor are calculated with respect to the various rotor eccentricity using analytic method. Based on the results of the radial magnetic forces, transient whirl responses of the spindle motor are analyzed using finite element and transfer matrices. Results show that an asymmetric motor has a worse effects on unbalanced magnetic forces and vibration when mechanical and magnetic coupling exists.

In a companion paper as well as in earlier publications, it has been shown that in asymmetric frame buildings, designed in accordance with modern codes and subjected to strong earthquake excitations, the ductility demands at the so called "flexible" edges are consistently and substantially higher than the ductility demands at the "stiff" edges of the building. In some cases the differences in the computed ductility factors between elements at the two opposite building edges exceeded 100%. Similar findings have also been reported for code designed reinforced concrete buildings. This is an undesirable behavior as it indicates no good use of material and the possibility for overload of the "flexible" edge members with a consequent potential for premature failure. In the present paper, a design modification will be introduced that can alleviate the problem and lead to a more uniform distribution of ductility demands in the elements of all building edges. The presented results are based on the steel frames detailed in the companion paper. This investigation is another step towards more rational design of non-symmetric steel buildings.

In conventional RBF network, the activation functions of hidden layers generally are symmetric functions like gaussian function. This has been considered to be one of the limiting factors for the network to speed up learning of actuately describing a given function. To avoid this criticism, we propose a pseudo gaussian function (PGF) whose deviation is changed according to the direction of incoming pattern. This property helps to estimate the given function more effectively with a minimal number of centers because of its flexibility of functional representation. A level set method is used to describe the asymmetric shape of deviation of the pseudo gaussian function. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed network ...

Y-jet nozzle has a wide fuel flow rate range and turn-down ratio, thus, it is used in industrial boilers, furnace and agricultural atomizer. However, it has asymmetrical spray characteristics due to the nozzle design factors. Therefore, in this study, asymmetric spraying characteristics of the elliptical Y-jet nozzle was studied by using the lab-scale spray apparatus. As a result, the elliptical Y-jet nozzle had lower gas mass flow rate than circular Y-jet nozzle at same gas pressure, because of bigger shear stress due to the wider inner surface at the elliptical Y-jet nozzle. Larger SMD was measured on the elliptical Y-jet nozzle than the circular Y-jet nozzle. When SMD was measured in the X_Axis direction at the same gas mass flow rate, the elliptical Y-jet nozzle with an aspect ratio of 2:1 showed greater asymmetry than the others.

The main objective of this paper is to develop the finite element study on the nonlinear free vibration of functionally graded nanocomposite spherical shells reinforced with graphene platelets under the first-order shear deformation shell theory and von Kármán nonlinear kinematic relations. The governing equations are presented by introducing the full asymmetric nonlinear strain-displacement relations followed by the constitutive relations and energy functional. The extended Halpin-Tsai model is utilized to specify the overall Young's modulus of the nanocomposite. Then, the finite element formulation is derived and the quadrilateral 8-node shell element is implemented for finite element discretization. The nonlinear sets of dynamic equations are solved by the use of the harmonic balance technique and iterative method to find the nonlinear frequency response. Several numerical examples are represented to highlight the impact of involved factors on the large-amplitude vibration responses of nanocomposite spherical shells. One of the main findings is that for some geometrical and material parameters, the fundamental vibrational mode shape is asymmetric and the axisymmetric formulation cannot be appropriately employed to model the nonlinear dynamic behavior of nanocomposite spherical shells.

Background and Objectives: Bilateral microphones with contralateral routing of signal (BiCROS) hearing aid is an option for hearing rehabilitation in individuals with asymmetric sensorineural hearing loss (ASNHL). The clinical factors influencing the trial and purchase of BiCROS were investigated. Subjects and Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 78 patients with ASNHL who were recommended to use BiCROS and analyzed the demographic and audiological factors influencing the trial and purchase of BiCROS. Results: Among the 78 patients, 52 (66.7%) availed of the free BiCROS trial and 21 (26.9%) purchased BiCROS. The mean pure tone audiometry (PTA) air conduction (AC) threshold of the better- and worse-hearing ears were 44.2±12.8 dB and 90.7±22.5 dB HL, respectively. The decision for trial or purchase of BiCROS was not influenced by age, sex, duration of hearing loss of the worse-hearing ear, or PTA AC threshold or speech discrimination score of both ears. The first and third quartiles of the PTA AC thresholds for the better-hearing ear of BiCROS buyers were 38.75 dB and 53.75 dB HL, respectively. The counterpart values for the worse-hearing ear were 72.50 dB and 118.75 dB HL, respectively. Conclusions: The clinical factors analyzed in this study were found to be irrelevant to the trial and purchase of BiCROS in patients with ASNHL. Nevertheless, the distribution range of the auditory thresholds of the subjects using BiCROS can be a useful basis for the counseling of patients with ASNHL and selection of candidates for BiCROS use.

원형수직구의 경우 지형적인 요인과 지반의 불균질성으로 인하여 등분포의 대칭하중이 작용하는 경우보다는 비대칭의 편하중이 작용하는 경우가 많을 것으로 예상된다. 지금까지 지반조건에 따른 원형수직구 벽체에 작용하는 편하중 산정을 위한 정량적인 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 불연속암반의 불균질성을 고려한 불연속체 해석을 통하여 이방성 거동에 따른 원형수직구 벽체에 작용하는 편하중 분포특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 깊이에 따른 암반등급 및 초기응력이 편하중에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 검토 결과 절리특성에 따라 양호한 경암반에서는 25%이하의 편하중이 발생하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 수직구 깊이에 따른 암반등급의 영향을 검토한 결과 경암의 편하중비는 25%이하, 연암에서는 $30%{\sim}40%$로 나타났다. 또한, 풍화가 진행된 파쇄연암의 편하중비는 $40{\sim}50%$로 나타났다. 깊이 100m의 경암반에 대하여 초기응력을 나타내는 측압계수(Ko)를 변수로 한 불연속체 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 측압계수가 2.0보다 작은 경우의 편하중비는 약 25%의 값을 나타내나 측압계수가 2.0보다 큰 경우에는 편하중비가 점차 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다.

본 연구는 외식기업을 대상으로 원가의 비대칭적 행태를 검증하고 최근 경기 침체 현상과 관련된 코로나 19 팬데믹 현상과 유동성에 영향을 미치는 영업순환주기가 원가의 행태에 영향을 미치는지 검증하고자 하였다. 2019년과 2020년 외식기업을 대상으로 분석을 실시하였으며 원가는 매출원가와 판매비와 관리비의 합으로 측정하였다. 분석 결과, 외식기업은 활동수준 감소에 따라 원가탄력적인 행태로 나타났다. 또한 코로나 이후 이전보다 원가의 하방탄력적인 행태는 강화되었으며 영업순환주기가 짧을수록 원가는 하방탄력적인 행태로 나타났다. 마지막으로 영업순환주기의 구성요소인 재고자산 보유기간과 매출채권 회수기간 모두 짧을수록 원가의 하방탄력적인 행태는 강화되었다. 이러한 결과는 외식기업을 대상으로 원가의 구조 및 그러한 구조에 팬데믹 현상과 영업순환주기가 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인을 검증한 것에 의미가 있을 것으로 보인다. 코로나 19로 인하여 외식업체가 직면한 상황을 원가 측면에 접근하였으며 이러한 팬데믹 현상이 기업의 매출 감소에 원가절감으로 이어질 수 있다.

Damage detection methods using vibration modes are investigated on ring structures and. modal behavior of the slightly asymmetric rings is examined. Mode shapes changes, MSER(modal strain energy ratio) and MCR(modal curvature ratio) are applied to identify the locations of faults or damages. Parameters are calculated and compared by finite element analysis on rings with designed local damages. Damages are modeled as reduced stiffness in the analysis. The results show MSER and MCR can be proper factors to detect local damages in ring structures.

Purpose : Neck pain is commonly experienced by both adolescents and adults. The purpose of this study was to measure neck disability index(NDI) and the cervical range of motion(CROM) following spinal manipulation and mobilization techniques. Methods : Thirty participants(manipulation=15, mobilization=15) with mild neck disability volunteered for this study. It was used to measure NDI with NDI questionnaire and six motions(neck flexion and extension, left and right lateral flexion, left and right rotation) with the CROM instrument. Independent t-test and paired t-test were used to estimate NDI and CROM, and compared left with right motions. Results : A significant decrease in NDI were found after spinal manipulation and mobilization treatment(p<.05). A trend toward increase in all cervical motions(flexion, extension, left and right lateral flexion, left and right rotation), after interventions, were revealed(p<.05). The significant differences were not found on NDI and CROM between the group(p<.05). It was presented asymmetric motions in cervical lateral flexion(p<.05) before and after treatment. Conclusions : Our results suggest that manipulation and mobilization probably provide at least short-term benefits for patients with mild neck pain. It is needed to be studied the factors and preventive methods influencing the asymmetric cervical motion.
