The vibration of meshing gear system is originated form teeth deformation, teeth contact ratio, profile error, etc. The gear vibration is classified as whine vibration during meshing and as rattle vibration during idling. In this study, the whine vibration is investigated under the assumption of piecewise linearity of elastic stiffness due to the variation of meshing. Numerical, theoretical and experimental investigations show the existence of the superharmonic components of the second and the third order. consistently It can be concluded that the superharmonic components in whine vibration of meshing gear is originated from the stiffness variation. It also shows that the higher order harmonics are reduced on the increase of motor speed.

The dynamic interaction between a translating flexible arm and a trapezoidal velocity profile of a cart to which the flexible arm is attached is presented. Vibration of the flexible arm due to translation is analytically solved, and the conditions for suppressing vibration is derived in terms of velocity profiles. To prove the validity of the solution and the conditions, numerical computation and experiments are camed out. Only a natural frequency of vibrating plant is needed to obtain the conditions for vibration reduction. With this results, a passive vibration regulator as an open loop control scheme can be designed and direct application to industrial plants such as overhead crane can be made.

High frequency excitation terms in a cam profile can excite vibration of a cam follower system. In this paper, modified smoothing spline curves are used to reduce the high frequency terms. The essential difference between the proposed method and other existing approaches is its ability to make the principal cam motions smooth while still exactly satisfying boundary conditions of follower displacement, velocity and acceleration. The boundary values usually depend on the ramp properties of a cam. Our method, thus, allows designers to smooth the existing cam motion without any damages on its ramp areas. Because the ramp height, velocity and acceleration are maintained exactly, more radical smoothing is possible. An example shows that the proposed method can be a powerful tool of cam profile smoothing, which removes high frequency components in the cam profile excitations without any changes in ramp properties.

This paper examines the flow characteristics around an inclined prism with a U-shaped cross-section ("U-profile") and investigates the connection between the flow and flow-induced vibrations. The study employs a combined approach that involves wind tunnel experiments and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) using an unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) turbulence model. Distinct vortex formation patterns are observed in the flow field surrounding the stationary inclined profile. When the cavity of the profile faces away from the incoming flow, large vortices develop behind the profile. Conversely, when the cavity is oriented towards the oncoming flow, these vortices form within the cavity. Notably, due to the slow movement of these large vortices through the cavity, the frequency at which vortices are shed in the negative inclination case is lower compared to the positive inclination, where they form in the wake. Wind tunnel experiments reveal an intermittent transition between the two vortex formation patterns at zero inclination. Large vortices sporadically emerge both in the cavity and behind the profile. The simulation results demonstrate that when these large vortices occur at a frequency close to the structure's natural frequency, they induce prominent pitch vibrations. This phenomenon is also sought after and presented in coupled vibration experiments. Additionally, the simulations indicate that when the natural frequency of the structure is considerably lower than the vortex shedding frequency, this type of vibration can be observed.

Corrugation of railway track can be caused by the various dynamic behaviors of traveling wheels and track. In this paper, the coupled vibrations of traveling wheel and railway track are analyzed as the cause of corrugations. To analyze the coupled vibration, the track supported by the sleepers and the traveling wheels are identified to the elastically supported infinite beam and the spring-mass system which runs at constant speed. The Hertzian contact spring is considered between the infinite beam and spring-mass system. The dynamic responses of elastically supported infinite beam and spring-mass system are calculated. The cause and development of rail corrugation are discussed in the view point of contact force fluctuation affected by the elastic supports and the corrugated surface profile on the track. By the obtained results, the possibilities of resonance are checked between the excitation by the corrugated surface profile and the natural frequency of contact spring-mass system. It may be thought to a development of railway corrugation.

In this study, flight tests were conducted to measure vibrations transferred from the helicopter's bomb rack to the external store. Hovering, S-turns, accelerating, decelerating, ascending, descending, and straight flight were performed according to the flight envelope. Vibration data was measured with 3-axial accelerometers mounted on the external store and converted into PSD(Power Spectral Density) using commercial data software. To identify the vibration level, G_RMS values were calculated for all flight conditions. The results confirmed that the measured vibration levels were significantly lower than the MIL-STD-810G vibration profile. Finally, a new vibration test specification was proposed using the VRS(Vibration Response Spectrum) method, which is expected to aid in the development of an optimized design for the external store.

Vibration test using the MAST(Multi Axial Simulation Table) is more reliable test than conventional testing process focused on one directional vibration test. The former test could be possible with a advanced control algorithm and hardware supports so that most of the operation is automatically conducted by MAST system itself except the input information that is derived from the measured data. That means the reliability of the vibration test is highly depended on the input profile than any other cases before. In this paper, the optimal algorithm based on energy method is introduced so that the best combination of candidated input PSD data could be constructed. The optimal algorithm renders time information so that the vibration fatigue test is completely possible for any measured signals one wants. The real road test is conducted in short intervals containing some rough roads and the candidated input PSD is obtained from the extra road in proving ground. The testing is targeted for the electronically operated door and seat.

Multi-axial simulation table(MAST) is widely used in motor companies as the multi-axial excitor for vibration fatigue of target component, which provides the vibrational condition as close as the vehicle test. However, the vibration fatigue performance of target component can be guaranteed with MAST system only in case the input profile covers the required severity of the target component on field test. In this paper, the signal processing for multi-axial vibration fatigue test on vehicle component is presented, from the data acquisition of the target component to the derivation of input profile. To compare the severity of vibration condition between field and proving ground, the energy principle of a equivalent damage is proposed and then, it is determined the optimal combination of special events on proving ground using a sequential searching optimal algorithm. To explain the vibration methodology clearly, seat and door component of vehicle are selected as a example.

Fabrication of large scaled mirror for the telescope application is the most challenging technology in recent year. Sophisticate technologies and know-how in fabrication and measurement are required to overcome the technological obstacles. KRISS(Korea Research Institute for Standards and Science) is now developing a large scaled mirror fabrication facility and KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) is supporting the development. High precision interferometric test is required during the grinding and polishing of mirror to identify the surface profile precisely. The required fabrication accuracy of the mirror surface profile is $\lambda$/50 ms($\sim$10 nm for visible wave length). Thus the measurement accuracy should be far less than 10 m. To get this requirement, it is necessary to provide vibration free environment for the interferometer system and mirror under test. Thus the vibration responses on the mirror supporting table due to external vibration should be minimized by using a special isolation system. And the responses on the top of the tower, which hold the interferometer during test, should be minimized simultaneously. In this paper, we propose the concept design of vibration suppression system for the KRISS mirror fabrication facility.
