The effective length factor of a framed column may be determined by means of the alignment chart procedure. This method is based on many unrealistic assumptions, among which is that all columns have the same stiffness parameter, which is dependent on the length, axial load, and moment of inertia of the column. A new approximate method is developed for the determination of effective length factors for columns in unbraced frames. This method takes into account the effects of inelastic column behaviour, far end conditions of the restraining beams and columns, semi-rigid beam-to-column connections, and differentiated stiffness parameters of columns. This method may be implemented on a microcomputer. A numerical study was carried out to demonstrate the extent to which the involved parameters affect the K factor. The beam-to-column connection stiffness, the stiffness parameter of columns, and the far end conditions of restraining members have a significant effect on the K factor of the column under investigation. The developed method is recommended for design purposes.

Exact solution for nonlinear behavior of clamped-clamped functionally graded (FG) buckled beams is presented. The effective material properties are considered to vary along the thickness direction according to exponential-law form. The in-plane inertia and damping are neglected, and hence the governing equations are reduced to a single nonlinear fourth-order partial-integral-differential equation. The von Kármán geometric nonlinearity has been considered in the formulation. Galerkin procedure is used to obtain a second order nonlinear ordinary equation with quadratic and cubic nonlinear terms. Based on the mode of the corresponding linear problem, which readily satisfy the boundary conditions, the frequencies for the nonlinear problem are obtained using the Jacobi elliptic functions. The effects of various parameters such as the Young's modulus ratio, the beam slenderness ratio, the vibration amplitude and the magnitude of axial load on the nonlinear behavior are examined.

In the conventional ship's structures, the stiffeners with asymmetric sections have been widely used, in spite of the disadvantage on the point of strength, compared to those with symmetric sections. So far, the stiffened plating was usually analyzed not considering the geometric unsymmetry characteristics of the section, including only the cross sectional area and moment of inertia. In this paper, the stiffened plating is devided into the strips having a thin-walled open cross section by using the concept of the effective width. The geometric characteristics of the sections are also included. The governing equations are derived, which can be applied to the arbitrary cross section beams, and the symmetric and the asymmetric section beams which have the same cross sectional areas are analyzed by using the finite element method. From that result, we obtain the allowable load of the two sections, and compared them.

This study is performed to evaluate and design the dynamic characteristics of the onboard machinery with resilient mounts. To avoid resonance with onboard machinery and external force, it is necessary to calculate natural frequencies of the resilient mounting system more accurately. Natural frequencies of on board machinery are determined by rigid body properties(mass, moment of inertia, center of mass) of machinery and stiffness of mounts. But it is very difficult to calculate rigid body properties theoretically. And stiffness properties of rubber mounts vary with dynamic displacement, pre load, frequency and temperature, and so on. In this study, we have identified rigid body properties using experimental modal analysis and estimated dynamic stiffness of rubber mount for onboard machinery using measured vibration response during seatrial. We measured displacement excitation through deck under mounts and evaluated relationship between modes of resilient mounting system and main excitation sources of a ship.

In this paper, the structural strengths of a rolling stock seat were numerically evaluated under several design load conditions based on the UIC requirements. The rolling stock seat was designed for the high speed train of a Chinese conventional line. To maximize its weight reduction and structural strength, some aluminium alloys like 6N01-T5 and ALDC8-T5 were applied to the base frame, side frame and armrest. The designed seat frame satisfied the strength requirements on inertia loads due to accelerations, and fatigue test conditions. However, it violated the requirements on the static test of UIC 566 OR. Some design modifications were suggested and numerically evaluated to satisfy the static test requirements.

This paper investigates the influence of mechanical energy storage on the interior permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) when it is operated in the generating mode. An IPMSM with six-poles and nine-slots employing concentrated coil winding type is considered as the analysis model, and a surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor directly connected to a heavy wheel is applied as the mechanical energy storage system by using the moment of inertia. Based on the constructed experimental set-up with manufactured machines and power converters, the generated electrical energy is converted into the mechanical energy, and the electromagnetic filed characteristics of IPMSM are subsequently investigated by applying the measured phase current of IPMSM based on finite element method. Compared to the characteristics in a no-load condition, it is confirmed that the magnetic behavior, radial force, and power loss characteristics are highly influenced by the harmonics of the phase current due to the mechanical energy storage system.

This Paper deals with the design of Moving Magnet type Linear Oscillatory Actuator(MM-LOA) using spring damper based on the design procedure and the characteristic analysis. MM-LOA is applied to variable load such as vaccum pump and compressor, The structure of piston type is selected to reduce a noise. MM-LOA has over-displacement in starting state because of the low inertia of mover To improve the starting characteristic, spring damper is used. The optimum spring constant of spring damper is detected and in consideration of spring damper, MM-LOA redesigned. The parameter is calculated by Finite Element Method(FEM). For the dynamic characteristic analysis, time differential method composed of voltage and kinetic equation is used. The propriety of the improved model is verified through the experimental results.

This paper proposes a method for frequency control of islanded microgrid with battery energy storage system. For frequency control of islanded microgrid, battery energy storage system uses a phase locked loop algorithm with positive sequence components for a fast frequency estimation. Microgrid is a power system with small inertia because it has small capacity generators and inverter systems for renewable energy. So, Islanded microgrid's frequency varies fast and large as small generation and load changes. To reduce frequency variation of islanded microgrid, it needs a device with fast frequency response. For fast frequency response, a fast frequency tracking is important. To show the validation of proposed fast frequency tracking algorithm, battery energy storage system with proposed algorithm is tested in microgrid pilot plant.

On the stability of Timoshenko cantilever beam subjected to a follower force, the influence of the characteristics of elastic constraints at the free end Is studied. The equations of motion and boundary conditions of this nonconservative elastic system are estabilished by using the Hamilton's principle. Upon evaluation of the stability of this system, the effect of shear deformation and rotatory inertia is considered in calculation. Using cowper's formulae Timoshenko's shear coefficient K'are determined. From this imvestigation it is found that the constrain parameter have an appreciable stabilizing effect in this nonconservative system. Moreover, it is obvious that the small values of K'decrease the flutter load of this system.

A counter balance valve is used as one part of hydraulic motor brake system. The function of this valve is to protect over-run or free falling of inertia load. But occasionally the brake system with counter balance valve makes some undesirable problems such as pressure surges or vibrations. In this study, for the purpose of easy estimation about dynamic chrcteristics of hydraulic system including counter balance valve, precise formulation describing fluid dynamics and valve dynamics under various boundary conditions were made. dynamic caracteristics were analysed by numerical intergration using Runge-Kutta method, because the equations in this circuit with counter balance valve contain various nonlinear terms. So the analyzing method developed in this study enabled very easy estimating the relation between the performance of counter balance valve and various physical parameters related to the valve.
