This paper presents the characteristics of the radial vibration of cylindrical piezoelectric transducers. The differential equations of piezoelectric radial motion have been derived in terms of the radial displacement and electric potential, which are functions of the radial and axial coordinates. Applying mechanical and electrical boundary conditions has yielded the characteristic equation of radial vibration. Numerical results of the natural frequencies have been compared with the experimental observations reported earlier for the transducers of several sizes, and have shown a good agreement for the fundamental mode. The paper discusses the dependence of the natural frequencies on the radius and thickness of the piezoelectric cylinders and the difference between Piezoelectric and elastic resonances

The paper experimentally deals with the radial in-plane vibration characteristics of disk-shaped piezoelectric transducers. The radial in-plane motion, which is induced due to Poisson's ratio in the piezoelectric disk polarized in the thickness direction, was measured by using an in-plane laser vibrometer, and the natural frequencies were measured by using an impedance analyzer. The experimental results have been compared with theoretical predictions obtained by simplified theoretical and finite-element analyses. It appears that the fundamental mode of a piezoelectric disk transducer is a radial mode and its radial displacement distribution from the center to the perimeter is not monotonic but shows maximum slightly apart from the perimeter. The theoretically-calculated fundamental frequencies agree well with the finite-element results for small thickness-to-diameter ratio, and they are accurate within 7 % error for the ratio up to 0.4.

Design and fabrication method of W-band 12-way radial power combiner is proposed in this paper. The proposed structure is used with TE₁₀ to TEM mode converter, which is realized using 2-step impedance transformer. The pin structure for mode converter is well bonded to the housing so that environment conditions such as vibration or shock are not affected. Proposed W-band power combiner has less than 0.7 dB insertion loss and more than 13 dB return loss from 88 GHz to 98 GHz. The measured output isolations between each other are greater than 7.5 dB from 82 to 100 GHz and phase differences are less than 10 degree from 88 to 96 GHz. Proposed power combiner is expected compact radar and various applications requiring for high power and stable environment conditions.

This study focuses on a detailed ball-bearing model for spur gears. The nonlinear ball-bearing stiffness with radial clearance is derived and calculated. The bearing stiffness is used to the 3-degree-of-freedom (DOF) spur gear system model. The mode characteristics of the gear system model are analyzed and verified by performing finite-element analysis (FEA). From the results, the bearing stiffness on the radial clearance was more sensitive under low-load conditions compared to high-load conditions. The bearing stiffness significantly affected the gear dynamics in the low-frequency region, while the mesh stiffness affected the high natural frequency.

In this paper, radial sheared eletronic shearopgraphy was studied in order to measure vibration characteristics of circular or radial symmetric objects. We calculated amplitude of vibration by using eletro-optic holography theory, and utilized a porror prism for optical arrangement of sheared two images in this experiment. In this case, the data measured by shearing interferometer give us a distribution of the gradient of vibration amplitude. This developed system is applied to symmetical objects such as fans of airconditioner and circular plates to test vibration characteristics.

The dynamic characteristics of a passenger radial tire were studied by the analytical method and the experiments. The purpose of this study is to obtain the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of a 2 ply steel belt radial tire fixed on the wheel in order to give datum of the dynamic design of tire. The governing equations are derived with the energy method. The composite toroidal finite elements with three degrees of freedom at each node are defined by specifying geometry, internal displacement functions, strain displacement and stress displacement relationships. In order to verify the capability of the present analysis, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the passenger radial tire are obtained experimentally by using the multi-channel F.F.T. analyser and compared the numerically obtained values. The results show that the analytically obtained values are in good agreement with the experiment and in addition they are in line with the Pott's experimental results.

The Lubrication Mode of line contacts between the vane and camring in an oil hydraulic vane pump with intravanes has been investigated. Variations of the radial acting force of a vane were calculated from previously measured results of dynamic internal pressure in four chambers surrounding a vane, and variations of the lubrication mode were estimated in both the rotational speed range from 500 to 1500 rpm and in the delivery pressure range from 1 to14 Mpa. The results indicate the variations of the radial acting force. It is found that the regimes of lubrication in the vane tip contacts cover rigid-isoviscous to rigid-variable viscosities.

There are many ways to detect the heart rate non-invasively such as ECG, PPG, strain gauge, and pressure sensor. In this paper, the pulse wave measurement system using bipolar biased head on mode of the Hall sensor is proposed for measuring the radial artery pulse. TMS320F2812 was used to implement the proposed system and a portable wireless network(zig-bee) was used to show the experimental result. It was confirmed from experiment that the performance of the implemented system was more stable and faster than PPG sensor or piezoelectric film pressure sensor.

Two kinds of experimental modal analyses have been performed on a radial tire for passenger car under fixed axle. One is the modal analysis to obtain three-dimensional modes of tire using accelerometers and the other is the one to identify cavity resonance frequency using a pressure sensor. From the first analysis, we have obtained three-dimensional natural modes and their decomposed 3-D modes in each direction, which make it possible to grasp the features of the modes that cannot be identified in the conventional 2-D modes and to classify the vibrationall modes into symmetric, non-symmetric, and antisymmetric modes in a simple way by using the experimental results. From the second experimental analysis, the cavity resonance frequency is found. Coomparing the results of the two analyses, we have Identified the three-dimensional mode of the cavity resonance. We also haute shown that natural frequencies of structural vibration depends on inflation Pressure while the cavity resonance does not.

This article proposes analytical solutions for sound radiation from radial vibration modes of a thick annular disk. Structural eigensolutions are calculated using the transfer matrix method. The far-field sound pressure distribution is obtained using two alternate methods. In the first method, pressure is calculated using the Rayleigh integral technique. The second method treats sound radiating radial surfaces as cylindrical radiators of finite length. The Sinc function approach is employed for calculations. Acoustic powers and radiation efficiencies of radial modes are also determined from the far-field sound pressure calculations. Analytical predictions match well with measured data as well as computational results from a finite element code in terms of structural eigensolutions and from a boundary element code in terms of sound pressure, directivity etc.
