Cross-flow existing in a shell-and-tube steam generator can cause a tube to vibrate. There are four regions subjected to cross-flow in Yonggwang units 3 and 4 (YGN 3 and 4) steam generators, which are of the same design as the steam generators for Palo Verde nuclear power plant Palo Verde units 1 and 2 steam generators have experienced localized oar at the comers of the cold side recirculating fluid inlet regions. A number of design modifications were made to preclude tube failure in specific regions of YGN 3 and 4 steam generators. Therefore, flow induced vibration experiments were done to determine the vibration magnitude of tubes in the economizer tube free lane region. The objective of this experiment is to demonstrate that the tube displacement is less than 0.01 inch rms at 100% of full power flow and to quantify the remaining design margin at 120ft and 140% of full power flow.

Vibration diagnosis of steam turbine generator is essential for safe operation. For a fast few decades, several data base systems for diagnosis of steam turbine generators have been developed and proved useful. However, there still remains a problem in using data base systems such that they require an expert engineer who has a deep insight or knowledg into the system. Moreover,such data base systems can not give any information if the input is not completely fit with data base. This paper presents an effective method for vibration diagnosis of steam turbine generators using fuzzy inference. The proposed method includes also a strategy to overcome the drawback of data base system such that one cannot obtain any information when the input is insufficient or not exact. A computer program is written to realize the entire procedure for the diagnosis. Three realistic problems are dealt with to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Recently, data centers are being established because IT and telecommunication industries are growing. The data centers have to install emergency generators to prevent unexpected shutdown of the electrical power supply. When the data centers are located in the densely populated urban area, the operating noise of the emergency generators can be a cause of people's complaints. In this case, it is necessary to establish effective countermeasure by noise & vibration specialists. To achieve this, noise reduction measure using noise measurement data and 3D noise analysis method have been employed in this study.

Modern steam turbine generators are being built as a higher power and larger system, experiencing more frequent starts and stops of operation due to a constant change of power demands. Hence, they are inevitably more vulnerable to various vibrations, and more often exposed to the danger of sudden vibration accidents than ever before. Even under the circumstances, in order to secure the system reliability of steampower plants and there by to supply safely the public electricity, it is important to prevent a sudden vibration accident in one hand and even when it happens, to raise an operating efficiency of the plants throught swift and precise treatments in the other. In this study, an interactive vibration diagnostic system has been developed to make the on-site vibration diagnosis of steam turbine generators possible and convenient, utilizing a note-book PC. For this purpose, at first the principal vibration phenomena, such as various unbalance and unstable vibrations as well as rubbing, misalignment, and shaft crack vibrations, have been systematically classified as grouped parameters of vibration frequencies, amplitudes, phases, rotating speeds at the time of accident, and operating conditions or condition changes. A new complex vibration diagnostic table has been constructed from the causal relations between the characteristic parameters and the principal vibration phenomena. Then, the diagnostic system has been developed to screen and issue the corresponding vibration phenomena by assigning to each user-selected combination of characteristic parameters a unique characteristic vector and comparing this vector with a diagnostic vector of each vibration phenomenon based on the constructed diagnostic table. Moreover, the diagnostic system has a logic whose diagnosis may be performed successfully by inputing only some of the corresponding characteristic parameters without having to input all the parameters. The developed diagnostic system has been applied to perform the diagnosis of several real cases of steam turbine vibration accidents. And the results have been quite satisfactory.

This paper presents results of coupled axial and torsional vibration analysis of shafting system in large diesel engines and generators for stationary power plants. Axial vibration of the shafting system takes place due to mainly torsional deformation or vibration and breathing effect of crank throws, caused by cylinder gas forces and reciprocating inertia of the engine. Cross-coupled stiffness matrix of the crank throws is calculated employing a finite element model of the crank throw and a static condensation method. Forced response analysis of the shafting system is performed using the calculated stiffness matrix and derived governing equations.

Recently, all the generators needed of the boats are being imported, so our objective is to make a national production of soundproof generators. We have already built a marine soundproof generator and it has also been hrough an endurance test for its commercialization. This paper has the noise vibration measurements needed for maintaining its durability and performance. We concluded that the difference of the noise values with and without the case was of 11.4dB.

능동 진동 제어 시스템(Active vibration control system, AVCS)을 이용하여 헬리콥터 기체의 능동 진동 제어 시 우수한 진동 제어 성능을 얻기 위하여서는 진동 상쇄 하중 발생기의 개수, 위치 및 하중 방향의 조합의 최적화가 중요하다. 따라서 고려 가능한 모든 하중 발생기의 조합에 대하여 헬리콥터 기체에 대한 AVCS의 진동 제어 성능을 조사하기 위해 Exhaustive 시험 기법을 적용한 AVCS 프레임워크를 구축하였다. 로터 진동 하중 해석, 기체 진동 응답 해석 및 AVCS 시뮬레이션 연구를 수행하기 위해 DYMORE II, MSC.NASTRAN 및 MATLAB Simulink 등 다양한 프로그램을 사용하였다. 이를 이용하여 비행 속도 158 knots의 UH-60A 헬리콥터에 대한 AVCS 적용을 위한 CRFG 조합을 최적화하였다. 최적의 CRFG 조합이 적용된 AVCS를 통해 UH-60A 헬리콥터의 4P 기체 진동 응답을 능동 제어한 결과, 기체의 주요 위치에서 4P 기체 진동 응답이 19.35~98.07%만큼 감소될 수 있었다.

Nowadays, source of MEMS, USN, Hybrid parts pay attention to energy harvesting. On this paper, energy harvesting was studied using piezoelectric effect. And, piezoelectric generator was designed and fabricated. Generators were designed by FEM simulation program and generators were made by attaching cymbal type metal plates on upper and bottom sides of a disc type piezoelectric ceramic. Output AC power was rectified to DC power by full bridge circuit and converted to regular voltage power by DC-DC converter. The final output power was charged to Ni-Cd battery. Using fabricated generators, output voltages dependant on thickness of ceramic, displacement of vibration, frequency of vibration were measured.

As the competition in the manufacturing market for small and medium sized generators is intensifying, there is increasing pressure to reduce production cost. Manufacturing the generator stator windings with global vacuum pressure impregnation (GVPI) is a very effective way to reduce costs. However, the stator winding has a fatal disadvantage in that the insulation wears due to vibration in the slot. KEPRI (KEPCO Research Institute) conducted insulation diagnosis for three generators in KOMIPO (Korea Midland Power Co., Ltd.) which were manufactured by GVPI and operated for about 17 years. Insulation diagnosis showed that deterioration of insulation has progressed significantly. Therefore, KEPRI recommended replacing the stator windings of all three generators. In this paper, the insulation properties of the generator stator winding with global GVPI are described by comparing and analyzing the insulation diagnosis results and visual inspection for stator windings.
