This paper presents the improved procedure to assess static and dynamic strength of crawler type excavators. A fully integrated model including front attachment and chassis was prepared for structural analysis. In this paper, two types of loading input methods were investigated and the method imposing digging force directly on bucket tooth was more convenient than imposing cylinder reaction force on cylinder pin even if the two methods showed no discrepancy in analysis results. Static strength analysis was carried out for eight analysis scenarios based on two extreme digging positions, maximum digging reach position and maximum digging force positions. The results from static strength analysis were compared with measured stresses, cylinder pressures and digging forces and showed a good quantitative agreement with measured data. Dynamic strength analysis was carried out for simple reciprocation of boom cylinders. It was recognized that the effect of compressive stiffness of hydraulic oil was very important for dynamic structural behavior. The results from dynamic strength analysis including hydraulic oil stiffness were also compared with measured acceleration data and showed a qualitative agreement with measured data.

In general, the softer the stiffness of a linear vibration isolator the better the performance of isolation can be achieved. However, the stiffness of the isolator cannot be made too soft because it needs a sufficient stiffness to hold the load. This is the most critical limitation of a linear vibration isolator. Recently, a HSLDS (High-Static-Low-Dynamic-Stiffness) magnetic vibration isolator was proposed to overcome this fundamental limitation. The suggested isolator utilizes two pairs of attracting magnets that that introduces negative stiffness. Previously, this new type of vibration isolator was merely introduced and showed a possibility of practical use. In this paper, detailed dynamics of the HSLDS magnetic isolator are studied using computer simulations. Then, the isolation performance is examined for various design parameters to aid the practical use.

In this paper, an experimental study on porous air bearing stiffness for ultra precision positioning system was performed. In general manufacturer provide bearing stiffness under specific air pressure, but the air pressure used in the field is different. Therefore it is necessary to know the stiffness of air bearing under the pressure used in the field. In order to know that, experimental device which can realize actual operating conditions was made. Using this device, static and dynamic stiffness of air bearing can be obtained. As a result, displacement error occurred around 1 $\mu$m at recommended load.

In order to model a connection part between a control fin and actuator, the related characteristics of a dynamic stiffness were extracted from experiments. These characteristics include the static stiffness of a control fin and the dynamic stiffness of an actuator, so they are called the mixed dynamic stiffness here. This mixed dynamic stiffness is used as the boundary condition of a control fin connected to an actuator when the flutter characteristics are analyzed. The simulated stiffness of an actuator is corrected from the experiment results and the mixed dynamic is finally formulated in the domain of frequencies.

The paper deals with the applications of spectral finite element method to the dynamic analysis of framed foundations supporting high speed machines. Comparative performance of approximate dynamic stiffness methods formulated using static stiffness and lumped or consistent or average mass matrices with the exact spectral finite element for a three dimensional Euler-Bernoulli beam element is presented. The convergence of response computed using mode superposition method with the appropriate dynamic stiffness method as the number of modes increase is illustrated. Frequency proportional discretisation level required for mode superposition and approximate dynamic stiffness methods is outlined. It is reiterated that the results of exact dynamic stiffness method are invariant with reference to the discretisation level. The Eigen-frequencies of the system are evaluated using William-Wittrick algorithm and Sturm number generation in the $LDL^T$ decomposition of the real part of the dynamic stiffness matrix, as they cannot be explicitly evaluated. Major's method for dynamic analysis of machine supporting structures is modified and the plane frames are replaced with springs of exact dynamic stiffness and dynamically flexible longitudinal frames. Results of the analysis are compared with exact values. The possible simplifications that could be introduced for a typical machine induced excitation on a framed structure are illustrated and the developed program is modified to account for dynamic constraint equations with a master slave degree of freedom (DOF) option.

Elastomers, which are used engine mounts and body mount rubbers, are traditionally designed for NVH use in vehicles, and for vibration isolation in specific frequency range. According to the measurement of the characteristics of the SUV's engine mounts, there are variability in same engine mount properties. Static and dynamic stiffness of the SUV's engine mounts are changed due to the driving miles accumulated. The pre-load of body mount rubbers are changed due to the empty vehicle weight, passenger's weight and gross vehicle weight. And the dynamic stiffness of body mount rubbers are changed very hard above 150Hz frequency range.

Spindle design is very important for the improvement of the competitive power in production cost of high quality machine tools. The important factor in spindle design is not only to improve the natural frequency of spindle but also to reduce displacement of spindle end. In this paper, parameters those influence on static and dynamic stiffness of high-speed spindle have selected form preceding studies. And those selected parameters are applied to Taguchi Method. To perform FEM analysis, bearing conditions are selected with optimized condition. To know how to improve static and dynamic stiffness of machine tool spindle, natural frequency and displacement of spindle end are obtained by FEM analysis. The Taguchi Method was used to draw optimized condition of bearing position and it's stiffness. From these results, amplitude of vibration is enough good less than $3{\mu}m$ pk-pk of the spindle of 40,000rpm manufactured in this work by the optimal design.

For the same configuration, the stiffness of 6-node two dimensional isoparametric is stiffer than that of 8-node two dimensional isoparametric element. This phenomenon may be called 'Relative Stiffness Stiffening Phenomenon.' In this paper, the relative stiffness stiffening phenomenon was studied, and could be corrected by modifying the position of Gauss integral points used in the numerical integration of the stiffness matrix. For the same deformation (bending) energy of 6-node and 8-node two dimensional isoparametric elements, Gauss integral points of 6-node element have to move closer, in comparison with those of 8-node element, in the case of numerical integration along the thickness direction.

The isolation performance of a linear vibration isolator is limited to the ratio of stiffness to mass it supports. The stiffness of the isolator must be large enough to hold the weight. This results in the deterioration of the isolation performance. Recently, to overcome this fundamental limitation, the HSLDS(high-static-low-dynamic-stiffness) magnetic vibration isolator was introduced and its isolation characteristic was investigated theoretically. In this paper, the isolation performance of the HSLDS magnetic isolator is examined experimentally. Considerable amount of experiments are performed by carefully considering nonlinear characteristics. The experimental results verify the practical usability promisingly and agree with the theoretical studies, i.e. its performance is largely dependent on the key design parameter.
