The tapered leaf spring is regarded as the adequate tool to improve ride quality and to reduce vehicle weight of commercial vehicles. These effects are due to minimizing the contact area of each leaf by reducing the number of leaves and by optimizing the thickness profile of each leaf. But in adapting the tapered leaf spring to improve ride quality, we often have some problems of bad pitching and bouncing motion. This paper shows the basic properties of tapered leaf spring by rig tests and how to improve ride quality of a vehicle with tapered leaf springs, compared with multi-leaf spring. From the results of vehicle tests and rig tests it is concluded that the ride quality was effected by the dynamic spring rate and the friction of the tapered leaf spring.

A hysteresis loop tracer using a pulsed high magnetic field of 113.4 kOe, which is suitable for rare earth based permanent magnets, is constructed. The high pulsed magnetic field is generated by discharging a large capacitance charge (5 mF) with a voltage of 600 V into an air solenoid with the inner diameter of 14 mm, outer diameter of 36 mm and the lingth of 34 mm. A computer simulation method is used for the construction of an electromagnet to optimize the many parameters such as the discharge current, generated pulsed magnetic field intensity, thermal dissipation, capacitance, charged voltage, period of damping oscillation and solenoid geometry. By using the hysteresis loop tracer constructed in this work, we are able to measure hystersis loops of several rare earth based permanent magnets with large values of the remanent magnetization, coercvity and energy product.

This paper proposes a systematic approach for an accurate control of the Terfenol-D actuator taking into account hysteresis, modeled by applying the classical Preisach operator with memory curve. A desired input displacement is calculated by using the hysteresis inverter, which is fed into the actuator. Then the PI compensator corrects the error between the commanded and actual displacements. Experiments with the step responses show that the PI controller settles in 70 ms and the hybrid controller in 20 ms. It means that the concurrent application of two control schemes is effective to control the actuator.

소성이론이의 연구방향은 일반적으로 두 가지 대별된다. 첫 째는 강재의 소성변형을 적절하게 나타내는 응력-변형도 관계를 정립하는 것이고, 둘 째는 위의 과정을 이용한 기법을 개발하고 구조물을 설계하는 것이다. 소성이론을 연구하는데 한 가지 중요한 문제는 복잡한 하중이력에 대하여 소성영역에서 경화재료의 거동을 묘사하는 것이다. 또한 구조물이 강한 지진이나 바람하중을 받을 경우, 비례하중보다는 복잡한 불비례하중에 의하여 영향을 받는다. 따라서 소성이론과 강재의 소성거동에 대한 연구는 불비례하중의 거동과 영향을 나타낼 수 있어야 한다. 지금까지 많은 연구자들이 이 분야에서 이론을 발표하였고, 지금도 계속하여 새로운 소성모델 연구를 하고 있다. 본 논문은 지금까지 가장 많이 쓰이고 있는 소성 모델을 two-surface 소성모델을 중심으로 분석하고 각 소성모델의 특징과 문제점을 파악하였고 앞으로의 연구과제를 제안하였다.
