In order to evaluate a failure behavior of pipe with notch-type wall thinning, the present study performed full-scale pipe tests using the 102mm, Schedule 80 pipe specimen simulated notch- and circular-type thinning defects. The pipe tests were conducted under the conditions of both monotonic and cyclic bending moment at a constant internal pressure of 10 MPa. From the results. of experiment the failure mode, load carrying capacity, deformation ability, and fatigue life of a notch-type wall thinned pipe were investigated, and they were compared with those of a circular-type wall thinned pipe. The failure mode of notched pipe was similar to that of circular-type thinned pipe under the monotonic bending load. Under the cyclic bending load, however, the mode was clearly distinguished with variation in the shape of wall thinning. The load carrying capacity of a pipe containing notch-type wall thinning was about the same or slightly lower than that of a pipe containing circular-type wall thinning when the thinning area was subjected to tensile stress, whereas it was higher than that of a pipe containing circular-type thinning defect when the thinning area was subjected to compressive stress. On the other hand, the deformation ability and fatigue life of a notch-type wall thinned pipe was lower than those of a circular-type wall thinned pipe.

This study deals with hydraulic characteristics and their effects on upstream migration of fish by the weir type in a pool-weir fishway, and presents an optimal type of weir for an easy upstream migration. Experiment was performed to estimate hydraulic conditions by the weir type and to determine which type was good. The results showed that a rectangular weir with a small rectangular notch installed by a zig-zag type was preferable to a simple weir with no notch or to a trapezoidal weir, since it makes possible for upstream migration even when a water level draws down and moreover, it makes falling flow through a notch which facilitates upstream migration. It was proposed that the notch must be designed that the flow situation may keep the streaming flow so long as the maximum flow velocity does not exceed the critical swiming velocity, i.e., the dimensionless flow rate may exist whthin the range of 0.27 and 0.41.

The aerodynamic critical phenomenon of notch-back type automobile-like bodies was investigated experimentally. The aerodynamic forces were measured for the various bodies of different back-light rake angle at R$_{e}$0.8*10$^{5}$ , 1.0*10$^{6}$ and 1.4*10$^{6}$ . Also, surface flow visualization was effected by the oil mixture. It was found that the critical phenomenon for the notch-back type bodies was milder than for the hatch-back type bodies; the drag vs. slant angle curve for the notch-back type bodies exhibiting local maximum was much smoother. Surface oil flow visualization revealed that the flow pattern associated with the critical phenomenon was characterized by the reattachment of the separated flow on the boot. The effect of the forebody on the critical phenomenon was seen to be negligible.e.

We propose a simulation technique to estimate the reduction effect of the pressure/flow pulsation by analysis of the pulsation variables and notch shape of the valve plate of a swash-plate-type variable piston pump. First, using SimulationX$^{(R)}$, we perform a theoretical kinematic analysis according to the variable swash-plate angle and rotational velocity in order to design a single-piston pump. In designing the notch shape of the valve plate of the swash-plate-type variable piston pump as one of the pulsation variables, we investigate the effect of the pulsation by comparing two notch types (circular type and V type). Then, we extend our analysis to a nine-piston pump model. This paper not only confirms the effect of the pressure/flow pulsation according to pulsation variables but can also be applied to the development of a SimulationX$^{(R)}$-based simulation technique for notch-shape optimization for a swash-plate-type variable piston pump.

In this paper, a cogging torque of IPM(Interior Permanent Magnet)-type BLDC motor is analyzed by FE program and the optimized notch on the rotor surface is designed to minimize the torque ripple. A differential evolution strategy algorithm and a response surface method are employed to optimize the rotor notch. In order to verify the proposed algorithm, an IPM BLDC motor is used, which is 50 kW, 8 poles, 48 slots and 1200 rpm at the rated speed. Its characteristics of the motor is calculated by FE program and 4 design variables are set on the rotor notch. The initial shape of the notch is like a non-symmetric half-elliptic and it is optimized by the developed algorithm. The cogging torque of the final model is reduced to $1.5[N{\cdot}m]$ from $5.2[N{\cdot}m]$ of the initial, which is about 71 % reduction. Consequently, the proposed algorithm for the cogging torque reduction of IPM-type BLDC motor using the rotor notch design seems to be very useful to a mechanical design for reducing noise and vibration.

This study investigated the design factors of the opening area in order to consider the kinematic stability of a valve plate, conducting an analysis of the reduction effects of pressure pulsation and flow ripple depending on the design factors, using the $SimulationX^{(R)}$ (Germany) hydraulic analysis program. Further, we performed a structure analysis to confirm the kinematic stability of the valve plate in a swash plate type piston pump, and analyzed the effects of pulsation on a 1-step V-type notch, 2-step V-type notch, and 2-step U-type notch to determine the effects of pulsation reduction. Finally, we show the effectiveness of our proposed design of the pre-compression sections on a valve plate in terms of low pulsation by using the hydraulic analysis program, $SimulationX^{(R)}$.

By reason of variation magnetic field, cogging torque is generated. Cogging torque of Spoke type motor is bigger than other type permanent magnet motor. So, this paper presents a design notch on stator and variation rotor shape to reduce cogging torque of Spoke Type motor. Through Fourier formulation of magnetic field on air gap, we found position of notch. The validity of the proposed design is confirmed with FEM analysis method.

In this paper, the Radial Magnetic Force(RMF) and cogging torque which cause vibration and noise in IPM type BLDC motor were analyzed. The cogging torque and RMF cause electromagnetic vibration. So, a notch was installed for the equilibrium of RMF and cogging torque reduction. The notch was analyzed by using a Fourier Series for the energy distribution of the air-gap. The equilibrium of RMF and the reduction of cogging torque were performed by a Design Of Experiment(DOE) with the notch. Also, operating characteristics and efficiency were analyzed and compared.
