This paper presents an optimal design of magnetorheological(MR) damper based on analytical methodology and finite element analysis. The proposed MR damper consists of MR valve and gas chamber. The MR valve is constrained in a specific volume and the optimization problem identifies geometric dimensions of the valve structure that maximize the pressure drop of the MR valve or damping force of the MR damper. In this work, the single-coil annular MR valve structure is considered. After describing the schematic configuration and operating principle of MR valve and damper, a quasi-static model is derived based on Bingham model of MR fluid. The magnetic circuit of the valve and damper is then analyzed by applying the Kirchoff' s law and magnetic flux conservation rule. Based on the quasi-static modeling and the magnetic circuit analysis, the optimization problem of the MR valve and damper is built. The optimal solution of the optimization problem of the MR valve structure constrained in a specific volume is then obtained and compared with the solution obtained from finite element method.

In this paper, Firstly, it is shown that the bending mode vibration of check valve is comparatively large because resonance. Secondly in order to decrese the bending mode vibration of check valve, some practical dynamic vibration absorber have been developed and its effectiveness is investigated as installing it at the check valve of piping system practically.

Numerical analysis of the three dimensional turbulent flow field in a complex valve shape is carried out to confirm the flow field whether the designed valve shape is good or not. The simulation of the incompressible flow in a constant flowrate control valve is performed by using the commercial code, FLUENT/UNS 6.0. The results of flow field show the designed valve has some problems, therefore these will be good data for new valve design.

This study is focused on the development of a new muffler. A control valve installed in the exhaust system is operated by torsion springs, and its open angle is controlled automatically corresponding to the engine operating conditions. A control valve and a control muffler sensing exhaust-gas pressure are made f3r developing a new muffler. The experiments were done using an exhaust system simulator having the same pulsation wave frequency and similar pulsation propagation characteristics of a real exhaust system. The purpose of this study is to develope a new muffler system which has improved noise reduction quality and less power loss than conventional mufflers and electronic-control mufflers. Finally the characteristic of noise compared with conventional muffler and muffler sensing exhuast-gas pressure.

A shaft of a reciprocating compressor receives bending force by piston, which makes movement of the shaft. The movement of the shaft affects durability and becomes a source of noise. In this paper, a cylinder is modeled by considering motion of a suction and discharge valve. The journal bearing is modeled by Bernoulli's equation. The trajectory of shaft which is considered cylinder and journal bearing can be calculated by finite element method. It will help a design of shaft to increase durability and reduce noise.

The goal of this research is the shape design of the valve using a computer simulation. For an analysis a basic mathematical model describing compression cycle is considered as consisting of five sets of coupled equations. These are the volume equation (kinematics), valve dynamic equation (dynamics), ideal gas equation (thermodynamics), Bernoulli equation (fluid dynamics), and dynamic equation of fluid particle based on Helmholtz equation (acoustics). Valve motion is made by the superposition of free vibration modes obtained by the finite element method. That is, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors are the sufficient modeling factors fur the valve in the simulation program. Thus, to design a shape of the valve, shape design sensitivity through chain-ruled derivatives is considered from two sensitivity coefficients, one is the design sensitivity of the capability of compressor with respect to the eigenvalues of the valve, and the other is the design sensitivity of the eigenvalue with respect to the shape change of the valve. In this research, the continuum design sensitivity analysis concepts are used for the latter.

Butterfly valves are popularly used in service in the industrial and water works pipeline systems with large diameter because of its lightweight, simple structure and the rapidity of its manipulation. Sometimes cavitation can occur. resulting in noise, vibration and rapid deterioration of the valve trim, and do not allow further operation. Thus, the monitoring of cavitation is of economic interest and is very importance in industry. This paper proposes a condition monitoring scheme using statistical feature evaluation and support vector machine (SVM) to detect the cavitation conditions of butterfly valve which used as a flow control valve at the pumping stations. The stationary features of vibration signals are extracted from statistical moments. The SVMs are trained, and then classify normal and cavitation conditions of control valves. The SVMs with the reorganized feature vectors can distinguish the class of the untrained and untested data. The classification validity of this method is examined by various signals that are acquired from butterfly valves in the pumping stations and compared the classification success rate with those of self-organizing feature map neural network.

Dynamic pressure is one of the major sources on noise emission in hydraulic axial piston pump. This paper reports an experimental study of dynamic pressure characteristics in the cylinder port of hydraulic axial piston pump. We investigated dynamic pressure with not only the effect of delivery pressure, rotational speed and temperature but also V-notches at the ends of the kidney ports in the valve plate. We experimented three valve plates with three type V-notches at the ends of the kidney ports, because V-notches of the valve plate is known of noise reduction. Finally, we hope this paper help to design of the valve plate in hydraulic axial piston pump.
