The work to raise the bridge plate by using two hydraulic cylinders is very dangerous when generating the unbalance state between cylinders. For solving this problem, one cylinder is forced to follow the trajectory of another cylinder instead of applying the same trajectory to two cylinders at once. In this paper, the control method for dynamic stable on lifting the bridge plate is proposed. The simulation model is derived by using commercial software, AMESim and MatLab/simulink. The PID controller is designed on one cylinder for following the reference trajectory and the adaptive controller is designed on another cylinder for tracking the displacement of one cylinder. The performance improvement is shown by comparing the simulation results through computer simulation.

HCCI engines fueled DME and natural gas have been studied on single-cylinder engine due to availability of reducing on $NO_X$ and PM simultaneously without deteriorating into high thermal efficiency, and thus it is clarified that higher maximum engine load is achieved as DME equivalence is smaller. In this study, combustion tests were accomplished on multi-cylinder engine for practical use of it. When minimum DME equivalence achieved maximum engine load on single-cylinder engine was applied to 4-cylinders engine, there was in unstable running condition that engine revolution fluctuated greatly and cyclically. It is the reason what misfire occurred intermittently with one the same as minimum DME equivalence on single-cylinder due to increase in energy for ignition at No. 1 cylinder with lower cylinder liner temperature. Maximum engine load was achieved by adopting EGR, though it decreased because of knocking at smaller engine load than single-cylinder due to increase in minimum DME equivalence.

The unbalance of the power output, noise, and vibration is happened by the disproportionate pressure variation in the cylinder. For this reason, decrease of the pressure in the cylinder and increase of the residual gas effect on the engine performance. If the abnormal combustion is continued, the crack would be occurred in the engine block. And it could be broken down. For the normal combustion of the SI engine, it is important to supply the balanced mixture by each operating condition. In this study, it was tested the combustion characteristics in the cylinder according to the abnormal adjusting of intake & exhaust valve. This test is willing to set a basic data's analysis fur developing an automotive diagnosis system by analyzing the pressure in the cylinder, the output signal of MAP sensor, the exhaust gas, etc.

Main focus on balance shaft module is to reduce the vibration triggered from engine block and compensate it from unbalance mass in balance shaft. Since the performance of balance shaft module is controlled by rotor shape including unbalance mass, a design strategy on rotor is key issue on determine the quality of balance shaft system. Even the design result on balance shaft mostly affect the lay-out of housing and other related components, its issue on balance shaft should be considered in advance throughout the total design procedure. In this paper, optimal design strategy focused on balance shaft is presented to make a design process efficiently with ensuring its high performance. And its method is verified with field design process of balance shaft in commonly adapted vehicle with 3-cylinder and 4-cylinder engine.

In four cylinder engine, the second order inertia force occurs due to the reciprocating parts of the cylinder. Because the magnitude of the inertia force is proportional to a square of the angular velocity of crank shaft, engine gets suffered from vibration excited by unbalanced inertia force in high speed. This vibration excited by the unbalanced inertia force can be canceled by applying a balance shaft. Balance shaft has one or more unbalance mass and rotates twice quickly than the crank shaft. In this paper, an unbalanced force caused by the rotating of unbalance mass of balance shafts was calculated. The directional equivalent stiffness and damping coefficients of the journal bearing of balance shafts was calculated. Equations of rotational vibration modes were derived using directional stiffness and damping coefficients. The dynamic stability of balance shafts was analyzed and evaluated for two type models using the equivalent stiffness and damping coefficients. An efficient procedure to he able to evaluate dynamic stability and design optimal balance shaft was proposed.

In this paper negative drift forces are discussed, which act on a two-dimensional cylinder exposed to slightly modulated waves in water of finite depth. By combining matched asymptotic expansion method with multiple scale technique, it is clearly shown that the slowly-varying drift force can be negative under certain circumstances: i) Incident waves are irregular or slightly modulated. ii) The water depth is finite compared to the wave length of carrier waves. iii) The gap between the keel of the cylinder and ocean floor is narrow. Then the negative drift forces are caused by the unbalance of hydrostatic force associated with set down. Real fluid and wave breaking effects are not considered.

The unbalance heavy-load elevation driving systems are composed of rotating link-mechanism and hydraulic cylinder which actuates elevation and compensates the static unbalance moment of supporting mechanism. Control and compensation of gun driving is very difficult because these mechanism imply highly nonlinearities due to hydraulic fluid characteristics and mechanical rotation of link-mechanism. In this study, through the analysis of manufactured link-mechanism, the optimal link-mechanism design of the elevating system is suggested. Also to estimate the control performance of the unbalance heavy-load elevation servo-control driving system, modeling and simulation of the system are carried out. To prove the reliability of performance estimation program,simulation results are compared with the experimental results. Both results are similar, therefore this program will be helpful to study the control performance improvement of the system.

Finite element scheme to analyze the vibration characteristics of the axisymmetric rotor system is developed. The rotor system of a large washer-extractor is analyzed as an example. Natural frequency obtained by FEM is in good agreement with experimental one by impact test. Also, parametric studies using FEM code developed are carried out for the investigation of the effects of the radii of the axis and the cylinder on the stiffness and the critical speed of the system. Larger radius of the axis makes the system stiffer and increases the critical speed at which the unbalance response has its maximum value. Whereas, the stiffness and the critical speed decrease at first and then increase as the radius of the cylinder increases.

Balance shaft module contributes to reduce the engine-born vibration by compensating it from a unbalance mass with opposite phase but practically, this device has some problems during the operation in a high speed owing to the considerable amount of unbalance mass that leads to the large quantity of bending deformation as well as torque fluctuation at the balance shaft. To tackle two main problems, the design strategy on balance shaft is suggested by addressing the optimal location of unbalance mass and supporting hearing based on the formulation of objective function that minimizes critical issues, both bending deformation as well as torque fluctuation. The boundary condition of balance shaft assumes to be free such that any external force or contact component is not taken into consideration in this study.

Large quantity of bending deformation as well as irregular rotating torque fluctuation are the main struggles of the balance shaft module during a high speed rotation. Since two issues are much sensitive to the location of both supporting bearing and unbalance mass at a balance shaft, it is recommended to construct a design strategy on balance shaft at the early stage so as to save developing time and effort before approaches to the detailed design process. In this paper, an optimal design formulation is proposed to minimize the elastic strain energy due to bending as well as the kinematic energy of polar moment of inertia in rotation. Case studies of optimal design are conducted for different mass ratio as well as linear combination of objective function and its consequence reveals that global optimum of balance shaft model is existed over possible design conditions. Simulation shows that best locations of both supporting bearing and unbalance are globally 20% and 80%, respectively, over total length of a balance shaft.
