  • Comparative study has been performed to investigate the behavior of dredged fills on rigid (Model 1) and flexible (Model 2) containers. The study was focused on the sedimentation of soil fills and the development of total stresses. Model 1 is made of an acrylic cylinder and Model two is a scale-size geotextile tube. Results indicate that for rigid containers, significant decrease of the sediment height is apparent during the dewatering process. On the other hand, because the geotextile is permeable, the water is gradually dissipated during the filling process on flexible containers. Hence, significant loss in the tube height is not apparent during the duration of the test. Pressure spikes are apparent on rigid containers during the filling process which can be attributed to the confining effect due to hydrostatic pressure. For the flexible containers, the pressure readings gradually increases with time during the filling process and normalize at the end on the filling stage. No pressure spikes were apparent due to the gradual dissipation of pore water pressure.

  • This paper shows the methods about an improvement of the sound quality, which is improvement for automobil market recently. Especially, the rumble noise in the passenger compartment makes driver uncomfortable. For an improvement of the rumble noise, in this paper, the increase of the number of balance weight of the crank shaft(from 4 to 8), the vibration constrainer of cylinder block and the flexible flywheel were applied to power plant. Among those kinds of applications, the application of the flexible flywheel to power plant makes not only the vibration of the engine mount boss reduce most effectly but also the interior noise. It also improves the sound quality and the rumble noise disappears in the passenger compartment.

  • The wakes of a cylindrical body have been investigated. The cylindrical body was attached with a thin film. The film is made of silicon with configurations of 50mm(W) ${\times}$ 150mm(L) ${\times}$ 0.3mm(T). The cylinder wakes have been measured with PIV experiments under the conditions with and without the thin film. The diameter of the installed cylinder body is 30mm and the Reynolds numbers are 2730, 6160 and 9750 with the diameter. The measurement system consists of an Ar-ion laser(6W), a high speed camera(1024 ${\times}$ 992 pixel, 500fps) and a host computer. FFT analyses have been carried out using the velocity vectors obtained by PIV measurements at the point X/D=1.52 and Z/D=0.52. For understanding the three-dimensional flow structures, a new Volumetric PTV(particle tracking velocimetry) has been constructed, in which the same four high-resolution cameras have been used. It has been verified that the flexible film suppresses or damps the vortices separated from the cylinder body, which makes the cylinder's wakes stable. With increase of Re numbers the intensity of the dominant frequency of the wakes become smaller.

  • A variety of approaches have been investigated for the application of spark-ignition engine knock control. The control method implemented, here as "Fuzzy Control", has the advantage of not requiring the knowledge of a mathematical model of the controlled object and is more robust and flexible than conventional approaches. Knock control in this study is performed using vibration signal which is measured with accelerometer attached to the cylinder block of a 1498cc four-cylinder spark-ignition engine. The experimental results obtained with this method are compared with those obtained with a knock interval controller and with those of a conventional controller. Those results illustrate better performance in torque than knock interval controller and conventional controller.ontroller.

  • For lightweight and flexible structures, it is important to suppress the vibrations induced by interactions between fluid and structures. This paper presents the PPF/Adaptive control of the vortex-induced vibration of composite beam with rigid cylinder in which the fluid force is considered as an external excitation on the structure. For the problems considered here, the excitation frequency (vortex-shedding frequency) is assumed to be equal to the natural frequency of the structure. A pair of piezoceramic devices attached bottom of the composite structure was used as actuators. Simulation and experiment were carried out with the designed controller and effectiveness of the PPF/Adaptive PPF control was verified by both experimental and simulation results.

  • Experiments have been performed to investigate fluid-elastic instability of tube bundles, subjected to twophase cross flow. Fluid-elastic is the most important vibration excitation mechanism for heat exchanger tube bundles subjected to the cross flow. The test section consists of cantilevered flexible cylinder(s) and rigid cylinders of normal square array. From a practical design point of view, fluid-elastic instability may be expressed simply in terms of dimensionless flow velocity and dimensionless mass-damping parameter. For dynamic instability of cylinder rows, added mass, damping and the threshold flow velocity are evaluated. The Fluid-elastic instability coefficient is calculated and then compared to existing results given for tube bundles in normal square array.

  • This paper describes a research work on the die design for the deep drawing & ironing(D. D. I) of high pressure gas cylinder. D. D. I die set is large-sized die used in horizontal press, which is usually composed of a drawing, and an ironing die. Design method of D. D. I die set is very different from that of conventional cold forging die set. Outer diameter of the die set is fixed because of press specification and that of the insert should be as small as possible for saving material cost. In this study, D. D. I die set has been designed to consider those characteristics, and the feasibility of the designed die has been verified by FE-analysis. In addition, the automated system of die design has been developed in AutoCAD R14 by formulating the applied methods to the regular rules.

  • Cylinder block is driven by tapered piston for bent-axis type piston pump, so that geometrical mechanism is very complicate. Piston rod must have not separated from shaft when shaft and piston rod is assembled. For this reason, shaft design is changed. Finite element analysis is performed for analyzed structural stability and flexible dynamic behavior. The result of the analysis, maximum equivalent stress occurred under yield stress, therefore structural stability is satisfactory. and flexible dynamic analysis give useful information about driving gear. These background data is avail of manufacture of piston pump.

  • The optimal mounting system for reciprocating comperssor supported on a flexible is designed. Four short hollow rubber cylinders are used as mounting pads, and so the thickness, diameter, height and location of the rubber mounts are considered as design parameters. The optimal mounts parameters which give the smallest force transmittance, are obtained by Constrained Rosenbrock Method.
