This study pertains to damping device to reduce vibrational responses and shocks in multi-directions. To enhance the capability of disk spring damper which works for vertical vibration and shock, a multi-directional damper is proposed, which contains wedge system as well as disk spring stack. Wedge system converts horizontal load into vertical load. A mathematical model is proposed and investigated for the nonlinear behaviors of the disc spring damper containing wedge system. The results accord with the experimental results. Equivalent viscous damping in vertical and horizontal directions are found based upon energy dissipated.

Four different wedge angle absorptive tiles were designed and made, and the magnitudes of the reflected acoustic fields by the wedge shaped underwater sound absorptive tiles were measured. The minimum magnitude was found at the angle of 30$^{\circ}$ and the maximum of it was found at the wedge angle of 120$^{\circ}$ from measured the reflected acoustic fields at the front sides of the tiles. The fact that as wedge angle of the absorptive tile increases, the reflection coefficient is increasing is verified. The measured reflected acoustic fields were not dependent on the frequency in the range of 10kHz~30kHz used in this experiment for the same wedge angle tile. The measured reflected acoustic fields at the back sides of the tiles show that they are independent from both type of the absorptive tiles and the frequencies used in the experiments. The measured values and the computed values by the numerical model for the reflected acoustic fields of the wedge shaped absorptive tiles are fairly well comparable with one another.

In an annular injection supersonic ejector, the supersonic primary flow is injected along the side wall, therefore a funnel-shaped shock wave is generated by the contraction angle of the mixing chamber. In the present study, we developed a simple funnel shock wave model using 2-D wedge and conical shock wave relations. In result, the secondary flow pressure can be predicted more accurately than using a simple 2-D wedge shock wave model. Through the same analysis, the compression ratio and the adiabatic efficiency according to the entrainment ratio were calculated.

Estimating seismic displacements has a great importance for foundations on or adjacent to slope surfaces. However, dynamic solution of the problem has received little attention by previous researchers. This paper presents a new analytical model to determine seismic displacements of the shallow foundations adjacent to slopes. For this purpose, a dynamic equilibrium equation is written for the foundation with failure wedge. Stiffness and damping at the sliding surface are considered variable and a simple method is proposed for its estimation. Finally, for different failure surfaces, the calculated dynamic displacement and the surfaces with maximum strain are selected as the critical failure surface. Analysis results are presented as curves for different slope angles and different foundation distances from edge of the slope and are then compared with the experimental studies and software results. The comparison shows that the proposed model is capable of estimating seismic displacement of the shallow foundations adjacent to slopes. Also, the results demonstrate that, with increased slope angle and decreased foundation distances from the slope edge, seismic displacement increases in a non-linear trend. With increasing the slope angle and failure wedge angle, maximum strain of failure wedge increases. In addition, effect of slope on foundation settlement could be neglected for the foundation distances over 3B to 5B.

A numerical analysis is performed to analyze the reacting flow-field of an axisymetric coaxial ramjet combustor. Two dimensional Navier-Stokes equation with low Reynolds number $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model is utilized and finite-rate chemistry model is adopted. Eddy dissipation model is applied for a modeling of turbulent combustion. Two different types of combustors (combustor with a suddenly expanded dump and combustor with wedge-shaped flame holders) are compared in a view point of flame stabilizing.

The effects of the gravity field and the free surface on the cavity shape and the drag are investigated through a numerical analysis for the steady supercavitating flow past a simple two-dimensional body underneath the free surface. The continuity and the RANS equations are numerically solved for an incompressible fluid using a $k-{\epsilon}$ turbulence model and a mixture fluid model has been applied for calculating the multiphase flow of air, water and vapor using the method of volume of fluid and the Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model. Numerical solutions have been obtained for the supercavitating flow about a two-dimensional $30^{\circ}$ wedge in wide range of depths of submergence and inflow velocities. The results are presented for the cavity shape, especially the length and the width, and the drag of the wedge in comparison with those of the case for the infinite fluid flow neglecting the gravity and the free surface. The influences of the gravity field and the free surface on the aforementioned quantities are discussed. The length and the width of the supercavity are reduced and the centerline of the cavity rises toward the free surface due to the effects of the gravity field and the free surface. The drag coefficient of the wedge, however, is about the same except for shallow depths of submergence. As the supercavitating wedge is approaching very close to the free surface, it is found the length and the width of a cavity are shorten even though the cavitation number is reduced. Also the present result suggests that, under the influence of the gravity field and the free surface, the length of the supercavity for a certain cavitation number varies and moreover is proportional to the inverse of the submergence depth Froude number.

Saltwater intrusion in coastal aquifer was investigated using a laboratory model. Salt-wedge profiles were reproduced in a porous media tank 140 cm long, 70 cm high, and 10 cm wide. The experiments were performed with various conditions of porous media hydraulic conductivity, salinity, and ground surface slope to assess relationships on salt wedge location and inclination. Salt-wedge profiles induced by saltwater intrusion were observed in porous media equilibrium state, and compared with previously derived formulas of the Glover (1959), Henry (1959) and Strack (1976). It was found that salt-wedge shape and formations were affected by the water level ratio ($H_F/H_S$) due to high hydraulic conductivity, saltwater salinity and ground surface slope. High $H_F/H_S$ of porous media having high hydraulic conductivity shifted the saltwater interface toward the saltwater reservoir. Increasing surface slope of the porous media caused the salt-wedge profile inclination to decrease. Saltwater salinity also contributed to the location of saltwater interface, yet the impact was not more significant than hydraulic conductivity.

This paper concerns with a safe and efficient transportation method of hot-coils on cargo ship. An automatic loading and unloading system of hot-coils by cassettes, which secure the geometrically unstable cargo, hot-coil, by supporting with wedges on both sides, is considered efficient and profitable. Safety of hot-coil on cassette and subsequently safety of total cargo ship are directly affected by the wedge angle of cassette. For optimal design of the cassette wedge angle, a dynamic model of hot-coil/cassette cargo is developed with constraint of no relative motions between the coil and the cassette. Force equilibrium conditions between resultant alternating inertia forces on hot-coil due to motions of cargo ship in waves and reactions forces from cassette wedge surfaces are derived and consequently a numerical simulation code is implemented. Cassette wedge angle of 37 degree is taken as optimal by considering dynamic stability of hot-coil and strength of cassette structure. Performance of the designed cassette wedge angle is investigated by scaled bench test.

This study focuses on the effects of using open stator slots in an interior permanent magnet traction motor with a magnetic slot wedge design in order to increase the power density at its base speed. In addition, such a configuration reduces the torque ripple under field-weakening conditions. Five different wedge models were selected, each of which was evaluated using a finite element analysis (FEA). Based on the initial model, we designed magnetic slot wedges for maximum back-EMF and minimum cogging torque. In addition, the d-q axis inductance was slightly altered due to the magnetic slot wedges. Finally, we analyzed the performance of a traction machine under field weakening control. Moreover, we have outlined the requirements for an ideal magnetic slot wedge design.
