This paper describes a method to find an optimal driving condition of vibratory gyroscope. Mechanical coupling between driving and sensing mode degrades the performance of vibratory gyroscope. When the resonant frequencies of driving and sensing parts are fixed, frequency and amplitude of driving source affect mechanical coupling. Thus, they should be optimally tuned. To investigate the influence of driving source on mechanical coupling, we measured frequency response and displacement of driving and sensing mode using laser vibromenter. The measured frequency response and displacement show that the gyroscope has minimum mechanical coupling when the frequency of driving source is set to the intermediate value of driving and sensing part resonant frequency. Measurement also shows that the mechanical coupling increases abruptly at a certain driving voltage as the voltage increases.

Driving and pick-off using electromagnetic force for a cylindrical vibratory gyroscope is considered. A gyroscope consisting of thin cylindrical vibrating element and electromagnetic drive and pick-off element is designed, fabricated and tested. The results of the proposed pick-off method were compared with the results of the highly precise laser interferometer and eddy current sensor as it was used as the reference standard. Through the experiment, it is verified that the proposed electromagnetic driving and pick-off method can be an effective alternative to conventional electrostatic or piezo-electric methods.

Many numerical analysis tools for predicting penetration speed of sheet pile are thought to be unreliable because they overestimate penetration speed for shallow depth of penetration. In order to overcome the defects of numerical analysis, lateral vibration model of sheet pile was suggested and energy consumption due to lateral vibration of sheet pile was estimated. Also, load reduction factor which explains reduction of vibratory driving force due to lateral vibration was introduced.

Behaviors of instrumented steel sheet piles which are installed in sand ground by vibratory hammer were investigated. Especially, stresses acting on the pile during vibratory driving, efficiency factor which reflects differences between theoretical driving force and actually delivered acting force, justifiability of rigidity of steel sheet pile, dynamic resistance characteristics of soil and penetration characteristics of sheet pile were analysed. According to the field test results it is justifiable that steel sheet pile behaves as a rigid body during vibratory driving. And it can be seen that maximum stress acting on sheet pile section is far less than tensile strength of the material. Value of the maximum section force at sheet pile head was 72% of that estimated from theoretical equation. Magnitudes of displacement amplitudes computed from displacement-time history curve corresponding to four penetration depths were in the range of 16 $\sim$ 75% of that specified by manufacturer.

Vibratory pile driving has an advantage of reduced noise pollutions compared to impact pile driving and it has been very widely used in the installation of sheet piles. However, very little has been known about the driveability characteristics of sheet pile under vibratory driving. So, the proper sheet piles and vibratory hammer for an given soil profile and depth are determined on a empirical basis. In this study. the driveability of U-type sheet piles are analytically estimated using the commercial WEAP(Wave Equation Analysis of Piles) program. The WEAP analysis shows that penetration rate of sheet pile decreases as N value increases. And if penetration length is not over 20 meters, the rate of penetration decreases as the sectional area of sheet pile increases.

In this research, a MEMS vibratory gyroscope with dual-mass system in the sensing mode has been proposed to increase the stability of the device using wide bandwidth. A wide flat region between the two resonance peaks of the dual-mass system removes the need for a frequency matching typically required for single mass vibratory gyroscopes. Bandwidth, mass ratio, spring constant, and frequency response of the dual-mass system have been analyzed with MATLAB and ANSYS simulation. Designed first and second peaks of sensing mode are 5,917 and 8,210Hz, respectively. Driving mode resonance frequency of 7,180Hz was located in the flat region between the two resonance peaks of the sensing mode. The device is fabricated with anodically bonded silicon-on-glass substrate. The chip size is 6mm x 6mm and the thickness of the silicon device layer is $50{\mu}m$. Despite the driving mode resonance frequency decrease of 2.8kHz and frequency shift of 176Hz from the sensing mode due to fabrication imperfections, measured driving frequency was located within the bandwidth of sensing part, which validates the utilized dual-mass concept. Measured bandwidth was 768Hz. Sensitivity calculated with measured displacement of driving and sensing parts was 22.4aF/deg/sec. Measured slope of the sensing point was 0.008dB/Hz.

A planar vibratory gyroscope using electrostatic actuation and electromagnetic detection is proposed. The gyroscope has large sensitivity and can be fabricated by using surface micrimachining, bulk micromachining and conventional machining technology. In this paper, the gyroscope and the electromagnetic detecting system equations are derived to determine the output characteristics for the planar vibratory gyroscope using electrostatic acturation and electromagnetic detection. The maximum output is obtained when the driving frequencyequals to the detecting frequency. The resonant frequencies of the resonator are determined by the beam stiffness, i.e. the material constants and spring dimensions. The dimensions of the beams are determined using the analytic vibration modelling. The expected resonant frequencies are 200Hz both and the sensitivity is 62mV/deg/sec with 4000 electronic circuit amplifying coefficient for an AC drive voltage of 3V bias voltage of 15V and DC field current of 50 mA.

This paper suggests the 2 D.O.F mathematical model of the High Frequency Vibro-Hammer (HFVH), introduces an experimental method for measuring of the attenuation of piling vibration and proves what experiments are coincident with the equation of wave propagation. As vibratory installation of piles and casings has many economic merits in the construction field, most of all contractors prefer to vibratory pile driving method than the other. Compared to impact pile driving, vibratory installation has the advantage of reducing vibration or noise pollution and can drive piles under high frequency. Experiments serve estimations of capabilities and limitations of the HFVH's excitation force and finding of sensitivity for important soil resistance parameters. Also, we discuss the HFVH that can drive with three kinds of input waves (triangular, sine and square wave) and propose the design of parameters to improve actuating performance in it.

Analytic solutions for pile driving system with and without suspension were presented and influences of suspension on the driving system were discussed. According to the results of analysis, magnitude of amplitude of vibratory pile driver with suspension increases as the mass of the suspension increases and soil dampening decreases. As a results of comparing power of vibratory pile driver with suspension with that of design criterion, power versus soil dampening reaches a peak value and then declines. The maximum power increases with mass ratio and the power is always below that of the Vulcan design criterion.

An industrial vibratory conveyor system is devised for large-scale feeding by the low-power, using natural frequency of the system. The important thing in this system is to determine the natural frequency and to drive by it. The purpose of this study is to build up reliance on the system with changing of element parameters for vibration characteristics of balancing type vibratory conveyor by using F.E.M. modeling. For investigating the natural frequency, modal testing is performed by using impact hammer, accelerometer and LMS/Vibration Analysis System. Experimental results are compared with F.E.M results. The results of the comparisons within the errors of less than 2 percent can verify the reliability of the F.E.M. analysis of the system. Also we can verify that the characteristics of natural frequency have linearly decreased(-6%) as adding the mass($50{\sim}600kg$). We can find that controlling driving frequency is necessary for triggering the natural frequency, but natural frequency is less affected by adding the mass on the balancing weight.
