The pressure reducing valve for water is controlled by the load of the compression spring and the force of the fluid acting on the diaphragm of the stem. Repeated upward and downward reciprocation of the pressure-reducing valve stem damages the diaphragm, resulting in leakage. In this study, we designed a stem without a diaphragm and adjusted the stiffness of the compressing spring. In order to select the spring stiffness, springs offering a stiffness of -20%, -10%, 0%, and 10% with respect to the stiffness of the compression spring attached to the existing pressure reducing valve stiffness. A prototype for the pressure reducing valve was fabricated and the pressure change was evaluated for the target static pressure (6 bar) by testing the pressure characteristics after mounting the modified stem and each compression spring. Evaluation of the pressure characteristics was carried out using ASSE 1003 and KS B 6153. In addition, the flow rates were compared by internal flow analysis of the conventional pressure reducing valve and the pressure reducing valve using the modified stems, and the flow analysis was performed using Solidworks flow simulation 2018. The spring stiffness was constantly discharged at the target static pressure of 3.793 kgf/mm, and the flow rate was increased by about 15% compared with the conventional pressure reducing valve.

The conventional impedance control has been known to have the following problems: it has lack of specifying force directly and unknown environment stiffness has to be known priori in order to specify the reference trajectory. In this paper, new impedance force control that can control a desired force directly under unknown stiffness is proposed. A new nonlinear impedance function is developed based on estimation of unknown stiffness from force and position measurements. The nonlinear characteristics of the proposed impedance function are analyzed based on unknown environment position. Simulation studies with robot manipulator are carried out to test analytical results.

A stiffness in a dynamical system is numerically studied to investigate a sensitivity of a reactor to the delayed neutron spectra with the Doppler feedback. To test numerical procedure, we adopted a case of a reactivity accident in a point reactor model. We found that the stiffness is sensitive to a reactivity insertion rate and the delayed neutron spectra in the Doppler feedback phase. Our numerical results show that global reactor characteristics are not very sensitive to the delayed neutron spectra even though their instantaneous ones are sensitive. We present the time evolution of each precursor group explicitly.

In this paper the linearzed stiffness and damping coefficients of tilting pad thrust bearing are calculated by the perturbation method. The coefficients are obtained for a wide range of pivot positions. The effects of exciting frequency and pad mass on stiffness and damping coefficients are investigated. Critical frequencies due to the tilting motions of the pad are presented and are shown to be strongly influenced by the pivot position and pad mass.

In order to control the transient torsional vibration of rotational shaft system, the torsional stiffness of it has been taken into account in modelling the plant. In this paper the observer and controller has been designed in two ways. One is to consider the torsional stiffness and the other is to idealize the rotational shaft as rigid body. The third order observer considering torsional stiffness shows stable response on computer simulation. When the observer is designed on assumption of the rotational shaft being rigid body, the reduced order observer shows stable response whereas the full order observer shows unstable response.

The conical bearing can be used to support the radial and thrust load simultaneously. Two circumferential grooves with discrete hole restrictions are made on the bearing surface in order to increase stiffness. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of this type of bearings are calculated such as stiffness and champing coefficients. As a results of theoretical analysis, it is verified that there exist the groove depth and distance between two grooves which produce the maximum stiffness at the given bearing dimensions.

In this paper, TVLEM is selected for the shear wall model which was proposed by Kabeyasawa and the characteristics of spring models composing TVLEM was studied. In axial stiffness spring model, the horizontal displacements when Kabeyasawa model and simple axial stiffness hysteresis model were used, were closely similar. When the large shear-displacement was occured, stiffness degrading model was more adquate to the shear wall modelling than OOHM. Also for the purpose of modelling the horizontally continuous wall, the seperational method for TVLEM was used. The results of nonlinear analysis by this method were closely similar to experimental results .

Instrumented indentation tests have been used for estimating material properties. In order to analyze deformation characteristics with various factors, the unloading stiffness should be properly determined from the elastic behaviour. In general, the unloading stiffness is obtained from shifted power functions fitting to indentation unloading curves. But, the functions give often a poor representation of actual data. In this study, control conditions for fitting unloading curves by shifted power functions were investigated. The current efforts may provide useful information about unloading process and valid unloading stiffness.
