This paper presents measurement processes of rotational accuracy and comparison of theoretical values in the main bearing of scroll compressor. The main bearing is a type of oil journal bearing, but it has an axial or helical groove. The generalized coordinate system method, which can handle this groove, is applied to calculate the pressure profile in the journal bearing. The orbits of journal shaft are calculated corresponding to the compressed gas forces and bearing reaction forces. Then, the orbits are measured using three-point method. The results are compared to that from analyses.

The problem of sound radiation from curved beam under the action of harmonic line forces is studied. The reaction due to fluid loading on the vibratory response of the curved beam is taken into account. The curved beam is assumed to occupy the plane y=0. The curved beam material and the elastic foundation are assumed to be lossless including a tension force(T), damping coefficient(C) and stiffness of foundation($k_s$) will be employed. The non-dimensional sound power is derived through integration of the surface intensity distribution over the entire curved beam. The expression for sound power is integrated numerically and the results are examined as a function of wavenumber ratio($\gamma$) and stiffness factor($\psi$).

This paper presents the experimental study of the dynamic internal pressure within a vane pump. The measurement of the dynamic internal pressure acting on the line contact between the vane and the camring in a vane pump with intravanes have been investigated. The variations of the radial acting force of a vane are calculated from previously measured results of dynamic internal pressure in four chambers surrounding a vane, and the variations of the film thickness are estimated in both the rotational speed ranges from 600 to 1200 rpm and the delivery pressure ranges from 1 to 14 MPa. The experimental technic has been established to obtain the data for performance analysis, such as reaction forces between vane and camring, friction wear at the contact regions, leakage characteristics and net forces upon the pump shaft in case of the unsteady load which is forced to the intravane pressure balance type vane pump.

Fluid viscous dampers have been used as energy dissipators or STU's (Shock Transmission Unit) in earthquake resistant designs for bridges. Viscous dampers have many advantages compared to other friction type or visco-elastic type of dampers. They do neither increase internal pier forces due to their out of phase response, nor produce reaction forces at the low velocities associated with thermal movements. Therefore, they anable the super structure to restore itself perfectly after a severe movement dut to seismic excitations. This paper investigates the response of bridges designed with viscous dampers in regard to damping coefficients, properties of dampers, and arrangements of dampers. For this purpose, time-history dynamic analyses have been performed using a very simple model relevant to a typical bridge example. Based on the results, it presents some design duidelines on how to determine a proper damping ratio and on how to arrange dampers. In usual cases, damping coefficients corresponding to about 0.2-0.3 of damping ratios seem to be very effective in bridge designs.

The purpose of this study is to develop a force-platform system suitable for real situations in industry. The developed system is a 3-axis measurement type. It consists of force-transmission, force measuring circuit, and the software that analyzes the measured force. The force-transmission transmits forces to 3 axes, which has a physical structure to minimize the interference among those axes. Force measuring circuit consists of DSP (digital signal processor) for flexible disposal of change of measurement algorithm, elimination of noise and maintenance of precision. The functions of the software are the calibration which revises the measurement error occuring during data acquisition, and various analyses of forces. The result of the experiment shows that the developed system has about 1% measurement error, is stable for repeated experiments, and is not effected by temperature change.

This paper presents a 3D nonlinear analysis with slip in steel-concrete hybrid deck. In this study, it was founded that the limit slip modulus could classify the states of steel-concrete hybrid deck into three parts as full-composite, partial-composite, and non-composite, considering the longitudinal behavior and end-slip as well as the yield load and ultimate load of it. Also, it proved that the stress of lower steel plate at the support was increased, because of frictional forces by reaction forces in the steel-concrete hybrid deck. The end-slip did not occur near the full-composite state, but it was largely increased as the slip modulus decreased. On the basis of the EC 4, the state of steel-concrete hybrid deck classified into brittle behavior and ductile one using the end-slip of it

In This paper proposes the control algorithm for quadruped robots on irregularly sloped uneven surface. Body balance is important in stable running locomotion. Since the body balance is determined by the forces applied at the feet during touchdown phase, the ground reaction force is controlled for stable running. To control the forces at each foot, the desired force is generated. The generated desired force is compared with actual contact force, then, the difference between them modifies the foot trajectory. The desired force is generated by combination of the rate change of the angular and linear momentum at flight. Then the rate change of momentum determines each force distribution. The distribution of the force is carried out by fuzzy logic. The computer simulation is carried out with the commercial software RecurDyn$^{(R)}$. Dynamic model simulation program show that the stable running on the irregularly sloped uneven surface are accomplished by the proposed method.

For autonomous navigation, a legged robot should be able to walk over irregular terrain and adapt itself to variation of supporting surface. Walking through slope is one of the typical tasks for such case. Robot needs not only to change foot trajectory but also to adjust its configuration to the slope angle for maintaining stability against gravity. This paper suggests such adaptation algorithm for stable walking which uses feedback of reaction forces at feet. Adjusting algorithm of foot trajectory was studied with the estimated angel of slope without visual feedback. A concept of virtual slope angle was introduced to adjust body configuration against slope change of the supporting terrain. Regeneration of foot trajectory also used this concept for maintaining its stable walking against unexpected landing point.

The power steering pump bracket for a passenger car which is mounted on the engine block plays a role to support the inertia forces of the pump and the reaction forces of the belt assembly. The existing bracket which is made of FCD material has some demerits such as heavy weight, lower productivity and lower reliability. Recently, AI alloy bracket has been investigated to overcome these demerits. In this study, Stress analysis and modal analysis for a existing FCD bracket and two type of AI alloy brackets were performed, and strength and natural frequency of them were estimated by using finite element method to accomplish the weight reduction. As a result, the modified shape of AI alloy bracket is proposed, and it has achieved the 45% weight reduction and the improvement of its strength and vibration characteristics.

The problem of sound radiation from infinite elastic beams under the action of harmonic point forces is studied. The reaction due to fluid loading on the vibratory response of the beam is taken into account. The beam is assumed to occupy the plane z = 0 and to be axially infinite. The beam material and the elastic foundation re assumed to be lossless and Bernoulli-Euler beam theory including a tension force (T), damping coefficient (C) and stiffness of foundation $(\kappa_s)$ will be employed. The non-dimensional sound power is derived through integration of the surface intensity distribution over the entire beam. The expression for sound power is integrated numerically and the results are examined as a function of wavenumber ratio$(\gamma)$ and stiffness factor$(\Psi)$. Here, our purpose is to explain the response of sound power over a number of non-dimensional parameters describing tension, stiffness, damping and foundation stiffness.
