The vibrational behavior of a front load washing machine is heavily influenced by the floor stiffness on which the washing machine is installed. In case the floor stiffness is extremely low like a wooden floor (we call it a 'soft floor, S/F'), it is quite probable that a washer's rigid body mode exists in the operating frequency range. In this case, the outer frame vibration level would be very high, but the mitigation scheme is quite limited except the excitation force abatement by acquisition of the optimal inertia in the internal vibratory system and the diaphragm's stiffness with the minimum force transfer.

Automotive industry requires high technologies to stabilize apparatuses for the EGR valve manufacturing. Vibrations of washing machine are one of the most critical factors for causing unwashed products, which are the main reasons of the defects.In this study, the structure of the washing machine was analyzed through the experiment and the computer simulation to investigate the main reasons of the vibrations, and further to alter the design for the improved stability. And the design alterations were applied to the machine to identify the effects of those alterations.The result of the study shows that design alterations of the washing machine can effectively suppress about 85% of the vibrations, and further can minimize the unwashed EGR valve.

In this paper, the magic formula model was applied for a friction damper in a drum-type washing machine. To describe characteristics of the hysteretic damping force, Physical tests were first carried out to get experimental results using an MTS machine. Then, parameters for the magic formula model were determined from the experimental curves. The ADAMS and MATLAB programs were used for the multibody modeling of the damper and process for parameter identification. The model of drum-type washing machine was applied for a dynamic model of friction damper, in which the accuracy of the proposed damper model was verified.

The market of the horizontal axis washing machine (drum washing machine) has been growing drastically in Korea by about 80% annually since 2000. As market grows fast, the customerTs demands concerning quality becomes more strict and various. Imbalance sensing is a key technology to reduce the NVH problem in a washing machine, because the laundry is time-variant and uncontrollable source of imbalance, which can cause more than 200kgf exciting force. In this paper, imbalance-sensing methods are briefly reviewed, new acceleration sensing circuits are examined, and finally the control algorithm of spinning process is proposed and validated.

Recently, customers interest about noise of household electric appliance is growing. so, designer of product must study to reduce noise of product. Specially, in case of household electric appliance such as washing machine, there was consumers' complaint about noise that is radiated under dehydrating condition. But, in the case of washing machine, identification of noise source is not easy when washing machine is under dehydrating condition. Because various noise source influence each other, it is difficult to find out pure contribution degree about output noise. Multi-Dimensional Spectral Analysis(MDSA) is method that can remove correlation between inputs each other and express pure contribution degree about output of single input. So in this study, we analyzed contribution of each noise source on transfer pass of noise that is radiated at dehydration of washing machine using MDSA.

The eccentric rotor system has various problems by vibration of unbalance mass. Specially, it is difficult to analyze vibration problem for the drum washing machine due to correlation of transmission paths. We analyze the mechanical structure by multidimensional spectral density to identify the maximum vibration magnitude at the frequency domain. It estimates the coherence function of the signals to pass the transmission paths. In case of the drum washing machine, because the transmission paths are correlated partially it needs to determinate the priority ranking. And the correlated parts are eliminated using conditioned spectral density function. Finally the shielding effect method confirms the reasonability of the modeling.

In this paper, the MR fluid damper to the application of the paramagnetic (paramagnetic) particles dispersed in the MR fluid inside the magnet current caused by the MR damper using the principles of the internal fluid delivery yield stress variation is characterized in Silky. In other words, the current strength of the MR fluid damper according to the internal friction coefficient varies phenomenon is to use. The MR fluid damper to control the MCU that you want to use Microchip's dsPIC chips, and current control in order to improve performance by using the PWM and UART communication to an external monitor to monitor the entire system was designed. In this study using MR fluid dampers and dsPIC chip dehydration process happens when a washing machine vibration and noise, vibration and noise reduction sikidorok washing machine protection systems are proposed.

The rotating of rotatory unit with its structural unbalance mass and laundry is making the main vibration problem in a vertical axis washing machine. For reducing vibration problem total washing system hung on the case by its suspension system which is constitute of spring, damper and suspension bar and hydraulic balancer is attached at the upper rim of spin basket. In this paper, we make the dynamic model of washing system of its rigid body motions by 6 degree of freedoms. Hydraulic balancer is modeled by one degree of freedom like auto ball balancer. Elastic motions of washing system have found by method of analytic, experimental and FEM. And we consider first bending mode of each suspension bar and first circumferential mode of assy tub. So, the total washing system is modeled by 12 degree of freedoms. Equations of motion for total washing system have derived, and we perform the dynamic simulation tests.
