In accordance with the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (US NRC), Regulatory Guide 1.20, the reactor vessel internals comprehensive vibration assessment program (RVI CVAP) has been developed for an Advanced Power Reactor 1400 (APR1400). The purpose of the RVI CVAP is to verify the structural integrity of the reactor internals to flow-induced loads prior to commercial operation. The APR1400 RVI CVAP consists of four programs (analysis, measurement, inspection, and assessment). Thoughtful preparation is essential to the measurement program, because data acquisition must be performed only once. The optimized design of a vibration and stress measurement system for the RVI CVAP is essential to verify the integrity of the APR1400 RVI. We successfully designed a vibration and stress measurement system for the APR1400 RVI CVAP based on the design materials, the hydraulic and structural analysis results, and performance tests of transducers in an extreme environment. The measurement system designed in this paper will be utilized for the APR1400 RVI CVAP as part of the first construction project in Korea.

The stress distribution of a rotating cantilever beam in transient vibration is investigated in this paper. The equations of motion of the rotating bean are derived and numerical results are obtained. The tensile and bending stresses which occur when the beam rotates with the tuned angular speed or passes through the tuned angular speed are obtained. Since those stresses are usually significant during the rotational motion, it is important to estimate them accurately in the design of the rotating structure.

Free vibration characteristics of an initially stressed CD/DVD disk, which is designed for increasing critical speeds of current optical disks, are analyzed using the Rayleigh-Ritz technique based on variational formulations. Natural frequencies of the new disk depend on membrane stresses caused by disk rotation as well as residual stresses imposed during the cooling process of the injection molding. Critical speeds are calculated for the various initial patterns of radial and circumferential stresses. Initially imposed tensile stresses increase the natural frequencies of all the vibration modes except zero nodal diameter mode, whose natural frequency is independent of circumferential stress. A new disk with initial tensile stress of 0.5MPa is shown to have its critical speed about 30 % higher than the current optical disk.

This study investigates stress and deformation due to static and dynamic vibration analysis about various types of bike handles installed with smart phone depositories. When force is applied on the side of handle at the models of type 1, 2, 3 and 4, the maximum equivalent stress is highest at type 2. The stress or deformation becomes lowest among these 4 model types. At vibration analysis, type 1 becomes safest within the range of 500Hz and type 3 becomes stable within the range of 100Hz. The result of this study can be applied with the design of bike handle installed with smart phone depository. The damage or deformation due to vibration can be prevented when the bike falls down. This result can be widely utilized to investigate and predict the durability.

This paper has the object of investigating natural frequencies of tapered thick plate on pasternak foundation by means of finite element method and providing kinetic design data for mat of building structures. vibration analysis that tapered thick plate subjected to In-plane stress is presented in this paper Finite element analysis of rectangular plate is done by use of rectangular finite element with 8-nodes. In order to analysis tapered plate which is supported on pasternak foundation. The ratio of In-plane stress to critical load is varied with $0.2\sigma_{cr},\;0.4\sigma_{cr},\;0.6\sigma_{cr}$, and the Winkler parameter is 0, 10, 100, 1000 the shear foundation parameter 0, 10. The taper ratio is applied as 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 respectively. This paper is analyzed varying thickness by taper ratio with In-plane stress.

Pulsations, vibration and stress are the basic dynamic phenomena in power plant piping systems which directly affect system reliability. These phenomena are both acoustical and mechanical in nature and are closely interrelated. It was noticed that thermodynamic parameters were changed after replacing with new type tube bundles of reheat exchanger. It was reported later that the drain piping connecting the new bundle header with the associated drain tank is regularly pulsating at about every 3 second with 13.4㎐ and 7.5mm, p-p in amplitude. This amplitude is about 6 times higher than reference level of sound piping. The results of finite element analysis of the pipeline showed that its dominant natural frequency is 13.4㎐. The soundness is predicted whether the bending dynamic stress evaluated excesses the maximum allowable high cycle fatigue stress or not by the measured amplitude of vibration.

Free vibration analysis using the method of NDIF (non-dimensional dynamic influence function), which was developed by the author, is extended to arbitrarily shaped polygonal plates with free edges. Local Cartesian coordinate systems are employed to apply the free boundary condition to nodes distributed along the edges of the plate of interest. Furthermore, a new way for applying the free boundary condition to nodes located at corners of the plate is for the first time introduced by considering the phenomenon of stress concentration at the corners. Two case studies show that the proposed method is valid and accurate when the eigenvalues by the proposed method are compared to those by FEM(ANSYS).

Forced vibration analysis of a cracked functionally graded microbeam is investigated by using modified couple stress theory with damping effect. Mechanical properties of the functionally graded beam change vary along the thickness direction. The crack is modelled with a rotational spring. The Kelvin-Voigt model is considered in the damping effect. In solution of the dynamic problem, finite element method is used within Timoshenko beam theory in the time domain. Influences of the geometry and material parameters on forced vibration responses of cracked functionally graded microbeams are presented.

Acoustic vibration analysis has been performed using random vibration analysis module of MSC/NASTRAN to evaluate the safety of the composite satellite antenna structure under the acoustic pressure from the launch vehicle. It was found that maximum $3\sigma$ stress by acoustic excitation was less than allowable stress.
