The purpose of this study is to investigate experimentally the characteristics of rotational, radial, and axial vibration for helical gears with different contact ratios. For this purpose, the gear box is specially designed and manufactured. Two helical gears with different face widths and reduction ratios are investigated. The gear vibration in each direction is measured by accelerometers attached to the gear body. Rotational vibration is the highest and radial vibration is the lowest in the gear frequencies. While the increase of rotational speed increases gear vibration, it does not always increase with torque. It is not also linearly related to the contact ratio. In addition, axial vibration is not proportional to rotational vibration.

The paper deals with an ultrasonic transducer invented for measuring both flow velocity and pipe thickness. The structure of the transducer is based on the conventional transducers for measuring flow velocity by obliquely transmitting ultrasonic waves to the flow direction. The transducer additionally generates ultrasonic waves transmitting vertically to a pipe for measuring pipe thickness. By measuring flow velocity with the invented transducer and a conventional oblique-incidence transducer and comparing their results, the accuracy of the flow velocity measurement of the invented one was evaluated. By measuring specimen thickness with the invented transducer and a conventional normal-incidence transducer and comparing their results, the accuracy of the thickness measurement of the invented one was evaluated.

This study shows the vibration characteristics of an actuator with six wire-suspensions, used in optical pickups of optical disc drives (ODDs). In this paper, the vibration characteristics of this beam structure is induced mathematically. To obtain vibration modes of focusing direction, the vibration analysis is achieved in lateral and longitudinal directions of the structure. The accuracy of induced vibration characteristics is proved by comparing mode frequencies with a finite element analysis. Finally, it is shown that mode shapes can be modified by changing design parameters in mathematical expressions.

In this paper, the transient response analysis of the trapezoidal corrugated plate subjected to the pulse load is investigated by the theoretical method. Three types of pulse loads are considered: stepped, isosceles triangular and right triangular pulse loads. The corrugated plates can be represented as an orthotropic plate. Both the effective extensional and flexural stiffness of this equivalent orthotropic plate are considered in the analysis. The plate is stiffened by concentric stiffeners perpendicular to the corrugation direction. The stiffening effect is represented by the discrete stiffener theory. This theoretical results are validated by those obtained from 3D finite element analysis based on shell elements. Some numerical results are presented to check the effect of the geometric properties.

The heavy equipment such as tracter has been studied to improve rather the performance of engine than comfort. The mufflers of tracters have various specifications according to their uses. The exact analysis of various mufflers is needed to reduce the level of exhaust moise, a major noise source of engine, to improve the ride quality of tracter. In this study, a software based on Green's function is developed to predict the performance of sound transmission loss for a muffler according to the locations of inlet/outlet pipes. The locations of inlet and outlet pipes can be fixed at different position individually. The conventional muffler has the locations of inlet/outlet pipes on the direction of longitudinal axes. On other hand, the inlet and outlet pipes may be located at the circumferential surface of a test muffler such as one of tracter. The software is verified by analysis and experiment on current muffler of tracter and the improvement technique is proposed to reduce the level of exhaust noise.

In this paper, we propose a ne weighted backward covariance matrix method to enhance the resolution for direction-of-arrival(DOA) estimation. The proposed method (MEVM:modified eigenvector method) is an enhanced covariance matrix method which is an extended form of the conventional covariance matrix. We analyze the effect of using the weighted forward-baskward covariance matrix on the performance of the eigenvector method(EVM). By comparing the perturbation angle of the noise-subspace, we show that the spectral estimate obtained using the proposed method is less distorted than the spectral estimate obtained using the conventional EVM. The simulation results show that the new method is more accurate and has better resolution than the conventional EVM under the same noise conditions.

In the beginning of vehicle development, it is difficult to define the concept of engine mounting system. With only the property of vehicle, we have to find the direction of engine mounting system. And it is important to find common mounts for several engine variation in order to reduce the cost and manage mounts efficiently. This paper introduces the software which has developed for engine mounting system analysis. And its function and usefulness are explained in paper. The examples have correlated between the analysis model and real model to raise the accuracy during development of engine mounting system are shown in paper.

The vibration analysis of an axially moving membrane are investigated when the membrane has the two sets of in-plane boundary conditions, which are free and fixed constraints in the lateral direction. Since the in-plane stiffness is much higher than the out-of-plane stiffness, it is assumed during deriving the equations of motion that the in-plane motion is in a steady state. Under this assumption, the equation of out-of-plane motion is derived, which is a linear partial differential equation influenced by the in-plane stress distributions. After discretizing the equation by using the Galerkin method, the natural frequencies and mode shapes are computed. In particular, we put a focus on analyzing the effects of the in-plane boundary conditions on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the moving membrane.

Recently, the disturbance caused by an optical disk vibration and the external vibration/shock are more serious problem in an optical disk drives (ODD) as an ODD become small size and rotation speed increases. The conventional controller cannot cope with the mentioned problems properly when the disturbance and vibration are larger than some range. Therefore, we propose a new control scheme using a disturbance observer (DOB) and it can control the aforementioned problems. The designed the controller is applied to a commercial ODD in focusing direction, then its validity is proved by experimental method. By rising the disturbance observer theory, the focusing performance is conspicuously improved in the presence of sinusoidal vibrations or a shock disturbance. This algorithm also applies to a tracking structure also, because focusing structure is very similar to it.

When considering the effects of whole-body vertical vibration, it is valuable to have an understanding of the mechanical characteristics (mechanical impedance and apparent mass) of the body. This paper addresses experimental results carried out to investigate the characteristics of apparent masses fer 41 Korean. The apparent masses of the seated human body in vertical direction were measured during different experimental conditions, such as vibration excitation level (0.5-2 ms$\^$-2/ r.m.s). frequency range (1-50Hz), and upper body posture (relaxed, normal and backrest-upright). We showed the average of all subjects and all conditions and compared the results with ISO5982/DIS (2000).
