Vibration isolators and anti-vibration mounts are ideal, for example, in creating floating floors for gymnasiums, or performance spaces. However, it is well-known that there are great difficulties on isolating vibration transmission in structural steel components, especially steel floors. Besides, the selection of inertia blocks, which are usually used by engineers as an effective vibration control measure, is usually based on crude methods or the experience of the engineers. Thus, no simple method or indices have been available for assessing the effect of inertia blocks on vibration isolation or stability of vibratory systems. Thus, the aims of this research are to provide further background description using a FE model and present and implement a modal approach, that was validated experimentally, the latter assisting in providing improved understanding of the vibration transmission phenomenon in steel buildings excited by a velocity-source type of excitation. A better visualization of the mean-square velocity distribution in the frequency domain is presented using the concept of modal expansion. Finally, the variation of the mean-square velocity with frequency, whilst varying mass and/or stiffness of the coupled system, is presented.

Nowadays, the equipment for a semiconductor process is required to raise accuracy and productivity. Therefore, the natural frequency of the equipment has been lowered because it has been precise, rapid, large, and light. In order to improve the efficiency of production, it is necessary for the equipment to increase the operation speed, which causes inevitable vibration problems. In this paper, influence analysis of ball-screw in the equipment and evaluation method for the vibration on the base are presented based on the analyses of dynamic characteristics for the mechanical structure through the modal test.

Active vibration control of laminated composite plates has been carried out to design structure with maximum possible damping capacity, using piezoceramic sensor/actuators and passive constrained-layer damping treatment. The equations of motion are derived for symmetrical, multi-layer laminated plates. The damping ratio(ζ) and modal damping(2ζ$\omega$) of the first bending and torsional modes are calculated by means of iterative complex eigensolution method for both passive and active vibration control. This paper addresses a design strategy of laminated composite plate under structural vibrations.

Dynamic characteristic analysis is required in developing SMT mounter system with high installation speed and position precision, because of vibration source occurred by positioning head. This paper presents the method of improving dynamic characteristic of SMT(Surface Mount Technology) mounter with finite element method and modal test. The design direction is that natural frequencies of SMT mounter must be higher than the vibration source. In addition, the effect of input shaping on residual vibration reduction is investigated by simulating the response of a first-order system.

The vibration of a LP turbine casing may cause the problems of power generation and the life of its facility. In this study, we carried out on-site measurements of a LP Turbine in order to find the cause of the vibration and conducted experimental and numerical modal analysis of the turbine with its support frame. The measurement and the modal analysis show that the natural frequency of the turbine becomes close to 60 Hz due to the subsidence of the support. The elimination of the subsidence by shimming between the turbine and the support frame gave rise to the reduction of the vibration of the LP turbine case.

Vibration and sound characteristics of King Song-Dok Bell are measured and the modal property is investigated. The effect of striking position and modal property on the beat characteristics is examined. It is first found that the beat characteristics are quite different according to the position on the bell surface and clear beat is periodically generated on the circumference. It turns out that in King Song-Dok Bell, striking Dangjwa(the present striking position) makes a beat in the first vibration mode, as well as it produces very clear beat in the second vibration mode.

The vibration of Powertrain are one of the import design characteristics of a vehicle. Powertrain is mostly mounted to the front subframe and powertrain mounting has an important role in determining the vehicle vibration characteristics. In this paper, the accuracy of the vibration analysis for the front subframe is discussed. The dynamic characteristic of subframe are measured from vehicle test and the finite element model updating are performed that natural frequency, mass and MAC of the experimental and theoretical modal analysis are compared. The subframe mounting stiffness are obtained the iteration method based on the vibration of subframe from vehicle test. Finally, the result of dynamic analysis which is operated dynamic load is compared with experimental one of vehicle test.

Operation deflection shapes(ODS) is defined as a motion of structure at particular frequency. The ODS is eligible to show any types of structural motions while the modes supply solutions only to linear and stationary motion. The principal vibration source of an auto teller machine(ATM) case was occurred due to resonance which was found by modal analysis. To reduce the vibration of ATM case, the motion of the case was visualized using ODS analysis, which can suggest how to modify the structure. As a result the vibration of the ATM case was greatly reduced with a stiffening bar between the opposite plates.

Modal vibration characteristics of a thin annular disk containing narrow radial slots are studied numerically and experimentally. Existing analytical solution is examined based on these results revealing that it can not precisely predict eigenvalues of the disk with slots since it does not accurately consider change in the vibration modes and change in strain energy density distributions due to the slots. Parametric study on slot length found that distortions in the mode shape as well as changes in the corresponding natural frequencies are proportional to the slot length. Consequently, errors in the calculated eigenvalues are also proportional to the slot length and accurate data can not be obtained with existing analytical solution above a certain level of slot length. Same phenomena can be observed in both free-free disk and fixed-free disk.

In the quest for improved capacity and accelerated dehydration speed of drum type washing machines, an increase in vibration emerges as a major challenge. In an attempt to derive a new design with reduced vibration, a full finite element model of washing machine has been developed, with experimental verification. After modal analyses of several design variants, a new design of the cabinet has been proposed. Forced vibration analysis of the new model suggests that 19% reduction in cabinet vibration amplitude can be achieved with this design.
