The output power fluctuations of renewable energy power plants such as wind turbine generators and photovoltaic systems result in frequency deviations and terminal voltage fluctuations. Furthermore, these power fluctuations also affect the turbine shaftings of diesel generators and gas-turbine generators which are the main power generation systems on isolated islands. Therefore, it is important to achieve torsional torque suppression. Since the measurement of torsional torque is technically difficult, and there is an uncertainty in the mechanical constants of the shaft torsional system. This paper presents an estimation system that estimates torsional torque by using a developed $H_{\infty}$ observer. In addition to the above functions, the proposed shaft torque observer incorporates a parameter identification system that aims to improve the estimation accuracy. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed $H_{\infty}$ observer and the parameter identification.

A torsional damper comprised of two stage pre-dampers was used to reduce the rattle noise generated in the PTO gear box of a direct engine-PTO driveline of agricultural tractors. It was designed and mounted to the engine flywheel to reduce the torque fluctuation-induced speed variations at the driving gears in the PTO gearbox, which were found to be main cause of the rattle noise. The effects of a hysteresis torque and a torsional stiffness of the damper on the speed variation were analyzed using an 11 degree of freedom non-linear model of the damped PTO driveline. The torsional damper was represented by a single degree of freedom model with 7 parameters. Under a constant hysteresis torque, velocity variation was reduced with decrease in the torsional stiffness of the damper. The velocity variation was also decreased with decrease in the hysteresis torque under a constant torsional stiffness. Optimum values of the torsional stiffness and hysteresis torque were obtained by the model simulation for the PTO driveline under the study. When the optimum values of the damper were used, the sound pressure level of the rattle noise was reduced by 81%, resulting in a reduction of 15dB(A). The optimum damper also reduced the engine speed variation, resulting in a reduction of 80% at the driving gears in the PTO gearbox. The torsional damper showed a good performance in reducing the rattle noise caused by the speed variation in the direct engine-PTO driveline.

Eigenvalue analysis of vibration mode and an analysis by frequency response among the methods of predicting gear noise are related with transmitting sound of vibration. In this study we intended to reduce the vibration noise of differential gear by reducing torque fluctuation of drive pinion shaft which causes vibration noise of differential gear in rear wheel drive vehicles. For this we developed multi-degree of freedom analysis model in which mass moment of inertia and torsional spring combined and we examined the influence of torsional vibration of driveline elements by performing forced vibration analysis of engine excitation torque. We studied the methods for reducing torsional vibration of driveline according to the design factor of propeller shaft and examined the effects reducing vibration in differential gear by applying flexible coupling.

Turbine-generator torsional response is caused by interaction between electrical transient air-gap torque and mechanical characteristics of turbine-generator shafts. If torsional shaft torque exceeds a certain threshold, the loss of fatigue life may occur and, in the end, it is possible to happen permanent shaft failure. Therefore, it is required to understand the torsional response for reliable operation and protection of turbine-generator shaft system. In this paper, we introduced multi-mass modeling method of turbine-generator shaft system using mechanical-electrical analogy and state-space equation to verify the transient torsional response based on ElectroMagnetic Transient Program (EMTP). These simple realization methods for turbine-generator shaft torsional response could be helpful to understand torsional interaction phenomena and develop the transient torque reduction countermeasures for turbine-generator shaft system.

The input torque ripple induced by combustion engines is a significant source of NVH(noise, vibration and harshness) problem in automotive transmissions. Because this torque fluctuation is primarily transmitted to the input shaft of automotive powertrains(e.g., automatic transmissions) when the lock-up clutches are closed, a torsional damper with helical springs is generally inserted between engine and transmissions to isolate the input vibratory energy, which is essential for the passenger comfort. The torsional vibration isolator exhibits frequency ranges in which there is low vibration transmissibility. However, the isolation performance is currently evaluated through the static torsional spring characteristics. In this study, the transmissibility of torsional spring dampers, essential dynamic performance index for vibration isolator, is first experimentally evaluated.

In diesel engines, it is inevitable that the torsional vibration is produced by the fluctuation of engine torque. Therefore, if the occurence of torsional vibration is confirmed in the design stage or the torsional vibration is observed on the bed of test run, it is necessary to establish some preventive measures to avoid dangerous conditions. Major preventive measures are as follows : 1. Changing the natural frequency of shaft system. 2. Repressing the vibration amplitude by the damping energy. 3. Counterbalancing the exciting torque by the resistant torque. 4. Counterbalacing the harmonic component of exciting energy. In above methos, the damper is the last measure to be used for controlling the torsional vibration. In this thesis, the design of viscous damper that absorbs the exciting energy is investigated and a number of problems associated with the design of viscous damper are treated and a computer pregram for the process of damper design is developed. A viscous damper for a high speed diesel engine is designed and its effect is simulated by the author's computer program.

각형 호선이 edgewise 브라켓에 삽입되면 first, second order는 bending에 의해, third order는 torsion(비틀림)에 의해 3차원적인 force system이 발생한다. Bending에 관하여는 분석적 그리고 실험적인 많은 연구가 보고 되어 있는 반면 비틀림에 관해서는 상대적으로 많은 연구가 이루어 지지 않았다. 본 연구의 목적은 각형 와이어의 재료와 단면의 형태가 와이어의 비틀림 모멘트에 어떻게 영향을 주는지를 이론적, 실험적으로 밝혀서 임상적으로 적절한 모멘트를 가할 때 호선의 재료와 굵기를 합리적으로 선택할 수 있도록 하는데 있다. 실험재료로는 third order조절을 위해 가장 많이 사용하는 호선을 사용하였다. 크기별로 0.016x0.022, 0.017x0.025, 0.019x0.025인치 그리고 재료로는 stainless steel (Ormco), TMA(Ormco), NiTi(Ormco), 그리고 braided stainless steel(DentaFlex, Dentauum) 네 가지를 사용하여 총 12개의 조합을 사용하였다. Torsion formula를 이용하여 비틀림 강성 (torque/twist rate)을 계산하였고 torque gauge를 이용하여 비틀림 강성, 항복 비틀림 모멘트 (yield torsional moment), 그리고 최대 비틀림 모멘트 (ultimate torsional moment)를 측정하였다. Torsion formula에 의하면 비틀림 강성 (T/$\theta$)은 재료적인 특성(G)과 호선의 단면의 특성(J)에 비례하고 호선의 길이(L)에 반비례한다. 대부분의 실험치는 이론적인 값과 비슷하게 나타났다.

Marine reduction gears are usually used to increase the propulsion efficiency of propellers for ships powered by medium and small sized high speed diesel engines. Most of shaft systems adopt flexible couplings to absorb the transmitted vibratory torque from the engines to the reduction gears and to prevent the chattering phenomenon of reduction gears. However some elastic couplings show non-linear characteristics due to the variable torque transmitted from the main engines and the change of ambient temperature. In this study dynamic characteristics of flexible couplings sare investigated and their effects upon various vibratory conditions of propulsion systems are clarified. A calculation program of torsional vibration for the propulsion systems are clarified. A calculation program of Results of the program developed are compared with ones of the existing linear method and propulsion systems with the elastic couplings the transfer matrix method is adopted which is found to give satisfied results.

To have a better understanding of the torsional mechanism and influencing factors of PC composite box-girder with corrugated steel webs, ultimate torsional strength of four specimens under pure torsion were analyzed with Model Test Method. Monotonic pure torsion acts on specimens by eccentric concentrated loading. The experimental results show that cracks form at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the member's longitudinal axis in the top and bottom concrete slabs. Longitudinal reinforcement located in the center of cross section contributes little to torsional capacity of the specimens. Torsional rigidity is proportional to shape parameter ${\eta}$ of corrugation and there is an increase in yielding torque and ultimate torque of specimens as the thickness of corrugated steel webs increases.
