In this paper, a novel polishing tool mechanism with 3-axis compliance is presented, which consists of 2-axis rotational and 1-axis linear compliances in series. The 2-axis rotational compliance mechanism is made up of four cantilever beams for adjusting rotational stiffness and one flexure universal joint at the center for constraining the z-axis deflection. The 2-axis rotational compliance can mechanically adjust the polishing tool to machined surfaces. The polishing press force can be simply controlled by using a linear spring along the z-axis. The 2-axis rotational and 1-axis linear compliance design is decoupled. The stiffness analysis of the 2-axis compliance mechanism was performed based on link compliance matrix and rigid body transformation. A 3-axis polishing tool was designed by configuring the 2-axis compliance mechanism and one linear spring.

Rubber components are widely used in many application such as vibration isolators, damping, ride quality. Rubber spring is used in primary suspension system for railway vehicle. Characteristics and useful life prediction of rubber spring was very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability. Non-linear properties of rubber material which are described as strain energy function are important parameter to design and evaluate of rubber spring. These are determined by physical tests which are uniaxial tension, equi-biaxial tension and pure shear test. The computer simulation was executed to predict and evaluate the load capacity and stiffness for rubber spring. In order to investigate the useful life, the acceleration test were carried out. Acceleration test results changes as the threshold are used for assessment of the useful life and time to threshold value were plotted against reciprocal of absolute temperature to give the Arrhenius plot. By using the acceleration test, several useful life prediction for rubber spring were proposed.

A nonlinear gas-spring tuned mass damper is proposed to mitigate the seismic responses of the multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structure, in which the nine-story benchmark model is selected as the controlled object. The nonlinear mechanical properties of the gas-spring are investigated through theoretical analysis and experiments, and the damper's control parameters are designed. The control performance and damping mechanism of the proposed damper attached to the MDOF structure are systematically studied, and its reliability is also explored by parameter sensitivity analysis. The results illustrate that the nonlinear gas-spring TMD can transfer the primary structure's vibration energy from the lower to the higher modes, and consume energy through its own relative movement. The proposed damper has excellent "Reconciling Control Performance", which not only has a comparable control effect as the linear TMD, but also has certain advantages in working stroke. Furthermore, the control parameters of the gas-spring TMD can be determined according to the external excitation amplitude and the gas-spring's initial volume.

산업에서 널리 사용되고 있는 압축 원통 코일 스프링은 제작 시 스프링 고유의 특성을 유지할 수 있는지 실험을 통해 검증해야 한다. 이 과정에서 많은 시간과 비용을 소비한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 선형 정적 구조 해석 방법을 이용하여 스프링의 구조 건전성 평가를 수행하였다. 본 연구의 타당성을 입증할 목적으로 설계 규격 및 각종 국제적 평가 규격에 의한 실험적 방법과의 비교 및 검증을 수행하였다. 양 끝단 처리를 하지 않은 스프링 형상을 사용하여 구조 해석을 수행한 결과, 해석 모형 제작에 필요한 시간은 절감하고 격자의 질은 향상할 수 있었다. 푸아송 비는 구조 해석 결과에 별다른 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그리고 구조 해석만으로 스프링 구조 건전성을 검증할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다.

Electro-hydraulic spring return actuator(ESRA) is utilized for air conditioning facilities in a nuclear power plant. It features self-contained, hydraulic power that is integrally coupled to a single acting hydraulic cylinder and provides efficient and precise linear control of valves as well as return of the actuator to the de-energized position upon loss of power. In this paper, the algebraic equations of ESRA at steady-state have been developed for the analysis of static characteristics that includes control pressure and valve displacement of pressure reducing valve, flow force on flapper as well as its displacement over the entire operating range. Also, the effect of external load on piston deviation is investigated in terms of linear system analysis. The results of static characteristics show the unique feature of force balance mechanism and can be applied to the stable self-controlled mechanical system design of ESAR.

A chevron rubber spring is used in primary suspension system for rail vehicle. The chevron spring has function which support the load carried and reduce vibration and noise in operation of rail vehicle.

The paper presents the dynamic stability of a vertical cantilevered pipe conveying fluid and haying translational linear spring supports. Real pipe systems may have some elastic hanger supports or other mechanical attached parts. which can be regarded as attached spring supports. Governing equations are derived by energy expressions, and numerical technique using Galerkin's method is applied to the equations of small motion of the pipe. Effects of spring supports on the dynamic stability of a vortical cantilevered pipe conveying fluid are fully investigated for various locations and spring constants of elastic supports.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유강화 복합재를 적층각과 적층순서에 따라 C-channel 형상에서 발생하는 스프링-인을 유한요소해석(ABAQUS)을 통해 예측하였다. 복합재 제작공정에서 냉각시의 큰 온도차 및 적층각에 따른 열팽창계수 및 화학적 수축계수의 차이로 인해 변형(스프링-인)이 발생한다. 이러한 변형은 제품의 품질과 직결되는 문제이며, 반드시 고려되어야 할 사항이다. 유한요소해석 시 CHILE모델과 화학적 수축을 고려한 서브루틴을 제작하여 적용하였으며, [0/X/Y/90]s case에 대해 X,Y를 $0{\sim}90^{\circ}$까지 변화시키며 각 case에 대한 스프링-인 발생량을 예측, 분석하였다.

Structural failure due to seismic pounding between two adjacent buildings is one of the major concerns in the context of structural damage. Pounding between adjacent structures is a commonly observed phenomenon during major earthquakes. When modelling the structural response, stiffness of impact spring elements is considered to be one of the most important parameters when the impact force during collision of adjacent buildings is calculated. Determining valid and realistic stiffness values is essential in numerical simulations of pounding forces between adjacent buildings in order to achieve reasonable results. Several impact model stiffness values have been presented by various researchers to simulate pounding forces between adjacent structures. These values were mathematically calculated or estimated. In this study, a linear spring impact element model is used to simulate the pounding forces between two adjacent structures. An experimental model reported in literature was adopted to investigate the effect of different impact element stiffness k on the force intensity and number of impacts simulated by Finite Element (FE) analysis. Several numerical analyses have been conducted using SAP2000 and the collected results were used for further mathematical evaluations. The results of this study concluded the major factors that may actualise the stiffness value for impact element models. The number of impacts and the maximum impact force were found to be the core concept for finding the optimal range of stiffness values. For the experimental model investigated, the range of optimal stiffness values has also been presented and discussed.
