In this paper a thick cylindrical shell with varying thickness which is subjected to static non-uniform internal pressure is analyzed. At first, equilibrium equations of the shell have been derived by the energy principle and by considering the first order theory of Mirsky-Herrmann which includes transverse shear deformation. Then the governing equations which are, a system of differential equations with varying coefficients have been solved analytically with the boundary layer technique of the perturbation theory. In spite of complexity of modeling the conditions near the boundaries, the method of this paper is very capable of providing a closed form solution even near the boundaries. Displacement predictions are in a good agreement with the calculated finite elements and other analytical results. The convergence of solution is very fast and the amount of calculations is less than the Frobenius method.

This study presents a method for determining bearing stiffness and damping coefficients of air-lubricated slider bearing, and shows influences of air-bearing surface geometry(recess depth, crown an d pivot location) on flying attitude and dynamic characteristics. To derive the dynamic lubrication equation, the perturbation method is applied to the generalized lubrication equation which based on linearized Boltzmann equation. The generalized lubrication equation and the dynamic lubrication equation are converted to a control volume formulation, and then, the static and dynamic pressure distributions are calculated by finite difference method. The recess depth and crown of the slider show significantly influence on flying attitude and dynamic characteristics comparing with those of pivot location.

This paper proposes a method to calculate the stiffness and the damping coefficients of the coupled journal and thrust bearings. The Reynolds equations and their perturbation equations are transformed to the finite element equations by considering the continuity of pressure and flow at the interface between bearings. The Reynolds boundary condition is used in the numerical analysis to simulate the cavitation phenomena. The dynamic coefficients of the proposed method are compared with those of the numerical differentiation of the loads with respect to finite displacements and velocities of bearing center. It shows that the proposed method is more accurate and efficient than the differentiation method.

A molecular-thermodynamic model is developed for the salt-induced protein precipitation. The protein molecules interact through four intermolecular potentials. An equation of state is derived based on the statistical mechanical perturbation theory with the modified Chiew's equation for the fluid phase, Young's equation for the solid phase as the reference system and a perturbation based on the protein-protein effective two body potential. The equation of state provides an expression for the chemical potential of the protein. In a single protein system, the phase separation is represented by fluid-fluid equilibria. The precipitation behaviors are simulated with the partition coefficient at various salt concentrations and degree of pre-aggregation effect for the protein particles. In a binary protein system, we regard the system as a fluid-solid phase equilibrium. At equilibrium, we compute the reduced osmotic pressure-composition diagram in the diverse protein size difference and salt concentrations.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite orbital mechanics, and then to propose a novel long-term GPS satellite orbit prediction scheme including virtual planet perturbation. The GPS orbital information is a necessary prerequisite to pinpointing the location of a GPS receiver. When a GPS receiver has been shut down for a long time, however, the time needed to fix it before its reuse is too long due to the long-standing GPS orbital information. To overcome this problem, the GPS orbital mechanics was studied, such as Newton's equation of motion for the GPS satellite, including the non-spherical Earth effect, the luni-solar attraction, and residual perturbations. The residual perturbations are modeled as a virtual planet using the least-square algorithm for a moment. Through the modeling of the virtual planet with the aforementioned orbital mechanics, a novel GPS orbit prediction scheme is proposed. The numerical results showed that the prediction error was dramatically reduced after the inclusion of virtual planet perturbation.

The effects of oil supply conditions on the static and dynamic properties of journal bearings supporting high speed rotors were investigated. The initially unknown hydrostatic pressure in oil pockets were determined by iteration with the aid of the equation of oil flow balance for given oil supply pressure and flow coefficients of oil inlet. For the calculation of dynamic characteristics, the dynamic changes of pressure in lubricating gaps and oil pockets were linearised with a perturbation method.

본 연구는 정상류 Navier-Stokes 방정식에 섭동(perturbation) 이론을 적용하여 주기함수 간극에 대한 삼승법칙의 수정에 대해 논하였다. 이를 위해, 주기함수를 진폭과 파장에 대한 무차원 함수로 전환한 뒤 미소 계수에 대한 무차원 유동함수와 연속 방정식을 적용하였다. 이러한 과정을 통해 정상류 Navier-Stokes 방정식의 섭동 근사해를 구하였으며 이를 유한 차분법에 적용하였다. 단일 절리 모델에 대한유한 차분 수치해석을 통해, 수정된 삼승 법칙이 주기함수 간극의 유체 유동에 대한 정상류 Navier-Stokes 방정식의 섭동 근사해와 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서 제시된 삼승 법칙이 간극 분포에 따른 유체 유동의 평가에 있어 유용하게 적용될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study's purpose is to investigate the effects on leg muscle activity caused by perturbation, using a trapdoor system during the support phase of gait for healthy adults (n = 6, height $177.5{\pm}5.5cm$, weight $81.0{\pm}9.5kg$, age $30.0{\pm}3.3yrs$). The trapdoor had the functional ability of causing inversion or eversion. The release time for the trapdoor was specified for two times, 0.3 and 0.5 seconds after heel contact. While altering these variables, EMG was recorded for the leg muscles (rectus femoris, biceps femoris, vastus lateralis, tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, soleus). The following conclusions were derived. The steptime was longer for the 0.5s eversion than 0.3s inversion condition. So in order to regain stability after the perturbation the unsupporting leg reached forward rapidly. This quick reflex can be observed through the center of pressure (COP) and its rapid change in direction. The gastrocnemius was activated throughout the total experiment. There was a low amount of activity recorded in the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis and tibialis anterior except for the condition of inversion 0.3s. For most of the conditions, the highest average EMG peak values were recorded during the condition of inversion 0.3s. The iEMG patterns were similar for the conditions of inversion 0.3s and eversion 0.3s. To cope with the rapid change in these conditions, the biceps femoris was activated. During the experiment except for the condition of normal gait, the activity of the soleus and gastrocnemius was relatively high. Therefore, to prevent injury from perturbation of the lower leg strengthening of the soleus and gastrocnemius is required. Likewise to prevent injury to the thigh strengthening for the biceps femoris.

In this study, steady state and perturbed pressures are experimentally measured under inherently compensated restrictors in externally pressurized air bearings. A piezo actuator is used for simulating small displacement perturbation in the air film. The pressures under the restrictors are measured by a miniature type pressure transducer and the height of the air film is measured by capacitance type gap sensors developed by Chapman's method. The perturbed pressure is obtained through Fourier transformation of the two signals. The measured perturbed pressures are in good agreement with the calculated values.
