As electrorheological fluid(ER fluid) has a characteristic that apparent viscosity varies when electric field applied, so rheological characteristic(yield stress & viscosity) changes in proportion to the electric field applied and the response time is very short within a few miliseconds . In case of using ER fluid for journal bearing as lubricant, it is estimated that it's possible to realize very effective journal bearing system that is not complicate and has a very quick response time. It is necessary to examine the influence of rheological characteristic that varies with electric field applied on bearing characteristic to apply ER fluid to journal bearing, however there are few studies for about that. As for the journal bearing, it comes under high shear flow mode that has shear rate range of $10^3\~10^4s^{-1}$ because rotational speed is very high and clearance is small. But most of the studies for about ER fluid issued until now is about the range of $10\~10^2s^{-1}$. So, there are a lot of difficulties to understand the characteristic offish shear flow mode and furthermore it is restricted to make an experiment for about the characteristic of ER fluid because of the limitation of experimental equipment. The equipment was prepared to make an experiment lot high shear flow mode that has the range of $10^3\~10^4s^{-1}$ using ER fluid that is composed of silicon oil with dispersed particle of starch. Using the above system, the fluid characteristic of ER fluid was studied.

When catilever beams rotate about axes perpendicular to the underformed beam's longitudinal axis, their bending stiffnesses change due to the stretching caused by centrifugal inertia forces. Such phenomena result in variations of natural frequencies and mode shapes associated with constant speed rotational motions of the beams. These variations are important in many practical applications such as helicopter blades, turbomachines, and space structures. This paper presents the formulation of a set of linear equations governing the lateral motion of rotating cantilever beams. These equations can be used to provide accurate predictions of the variations of natural frequencies and mode shapes associated with constant speed rotational motions of the beams. These variations are important in many practical applications such as helicopter blades, turbomachines, and space structures. This paper presents the formulation of a set of linear equations governing the lateral motion of rotating cantilever beams. These equations can be used to provide accurate predictions of the variations of natural frequencies and mode shapes due to rotation. This technique is simpler and more consistent than other conventional techniques which are commonly used in the literature.

In this paper, a problem of mechanical resonance between traction motor's rigid body mode and traction motor's excitation force is introduced, and a bogie design variable affecting the control of resonance response is reviewed numerically. To solve the resonance problem in rotating machinery with variable rotational speeds, resonance frequency should be out of rotational machine's operation range or dynamic stiffness of structures should be increased for resonance response enough to be low. In general, operation range of a traction motor is from 0 r/min to 4800 r/min. It is not possible that all bogie modes are more than 80 Hz. Therefore, it is very important to find design factor affecting resonance response of traction motor's rigid body modes. It is found that key design variable is the gab between transom pipes from finite element analysis. The larger gab is, the higher resonance response when resonance between traction motor's excitation force and traction motor's rigid body mode is happened.

The intention of this research is to give criteria of designing devices using ER fluids and MR fluids. The Properties of commercial ER fluids and MR fluids are compared using a rotational viscometer. The yield strength is compared upon changes of shear rate, temperature and applied fields. MR fluids seem less sensitive to temperature change than ER fluids. In cases of MR and ER fluid dampers, the time delay and damping force are measured in tension and compression mode when the applied field changes.

Serpentine belt drive system offers the advantages of light weigh, low cost, quientness, and efficiency. Since these belts are typically longer than conventional belts, a tensioner component is added to maintain acceptable belt tension levels and make no slippage between pulleys and belts. This paper addresses the modeling and analysis of the automotive belt drive systems and also addresses the predicton of slippage on rotational modes. Vibration characteristics are determined from the eigenvalue problem governing the free response. Under certain engine operating conditions, the dynamic tension fluctuations may be sufficient to cause the belt to slip on particular accessory pulleys, It is found that this slippage can be reduced by adding the tensioner component from the analysis of belt tension and belt compression.

The recent renaissance in controlled-stress rheometry has meant that more and more commercial models of this type of instrument have appeared in the (rheological) marketplace and many papers now deal with the results obtained by their use. It is therefore both timely and appropriate that this mode of rheometry should be reviewed for the sake of new and old users who are probably not be aware of its development. The history of controlled-stress measurements is therefore given, and the particular efforts of the late Jack Deer in the 1970s are chronicled, and then the later developments that have made it possible that such low torques can now be applied and such low rotational speeds measured. These have been mostly in the areas of air bearing and optical disc technologies. The typical results now obtained are illustrated.

The natural frequencies of a beam on elastic foundation are investigated in the present paper. The inhomogeneous elastic foundation can be modelled as a combination of distributed translational spring, rotational spring, intermediate supports and dampers. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the system are obtained by using the Galerkin's method, and also compared with the results in the literature. Furthermore, the natural frequencies of the beam with elastically mounted masses, which can be used as vibration absorbers, are obtained by an efficient numerical scheme suggested in the present paper.

As a major component of a power plant, a turbine generator must have sufficient reliability. Longer blades have lower natural frequency, thereby requiring that the design of the shaft and blade takes into account the coupling of the blade vibration mode, nodal diameter k=0 and k=1 with vibration of the shaft. The present work analyzes the coupling of the translation motion of the shaft with in-plane vibration of the blades with k=1 modes. At a rotational speed ${\Omega}_1=|{\omega}_s-{\omega}_b|$, the resonance of the blades has a relatively large amplitude. A violent coupled resonance was observed at a rotational speed ${\Omega}_2=|{\omega}_s+{\omega}_b|$. Resonance in blade vibration at ${\Omega}_1=|{\omega}_s-{\omega}_b|$ was experimentally confirmed.

To investigate the vortex induced vibrations the 2-d.o.f. spring mounted circular cylinder was tested in the wind tunnel. The circular cylinder was designed to have the translational and the rotational mode uncoupled to each other. During the wind tunnel tests the resonance behaviors of the translational and the rotational modes by the locking-on phenomena were observed. From the locking-on phenomena observed it is shown that the vortex shedding is correlated with the responses of the structures. And the forces generated by the vortex shedding are influenced by the amplitudes and the frequencies of the cylinders.

Several reactor system components, such as heat exchange tubes, fuel fins, controlrods, and various instruments are beam-like components. This study presents a simple solution method for calculating the natural frequencies and modes of beams supported by linear and torsional springs and attached concentrated mass and rotational inertia at some intermediate points. For a general multi-span beam, theoretical method is proposed to analyze the exact solution about vibrational characteristics with respect to the nondimensional parameters. And the results obtained using the numerical models are presented and discussed.
