We have reported that an Fe-17wt%Mn alloy exhibits the highest damping capacity in the Fe-Mn binary system. In the present work, the effects of copper content on the damping capacity, atmospheric corrosion and mechanical properties were studied. The damping capacities were measured at room temperature for the air cooled Fe-17wt%Mn alloy having copper content from 0.1wt% to 1.1wt%. The damping capacity of the Fe-17wt %Mn alloy was decreased with increasing copper content. However, the addition of Copper was found to improve mechanical properties and atmospheric corrosion resistance. These mechanical properties were attributed to the formation of stress-induced martensite during tensile test.

To improve the operational stability of the 100 Watts class Micro Gas Turbine, the air foil bearing with additional damping material has been investigated. The key of structure is that a viscoelastic material is coated under the top foil. The compliant foil journal bearing and thrust bearing are designed to withstand high load of vibrations at the operational speed 870,000 rpm. Test is executed in room temperature. Rotor has stably operated above 480,000 rpm. It is over 55% of the designed speed 870,000 rpm. Synchronous and subsynchronous vibrations are both well controlled. Vibration amplitude diminished over 50%. With the help of increased damping resulting from the viscoelasticity, the rotor stability of Micro turbocharger has been improved.

For the stable operation of high speed air spindle, the low rotational inertia and high damping ratio of spindle shafts as well as high fundamental natural frequency are indispensable. Conventional steel spindles are net appropriate for very high speed operation because of their high rotational inertia and low damping ratio. In this study, a high speed spindle composed of carbon fiber epoxy composite shaft and steel flange was designed for maximum critical speed considering minimum static deflection and radial expansion due to bending load and centrifugal force during high speed relation. The stacking angle and the stacking thickness of the composite shaft and the adhesive bonding length of the 7teel flange were selected through vibrational analysis considering static and thermal loads due to temperature rise.

It has been reported that discrepancies exist in the case of double panels with an air layer when the measured sound transmission loss is compared with the calculated values. It has been known that the cause of this discrepancy is in major from the unavoidable dips associated with the double wall resonances. In this work, several correction methods to make up for such resonances are studied. In particular, the ‘boundary damping’concept is revisited and its effects are discussed by comparing with measured values. It is shown that the correction methods are necessary for the sound insulation analysis of double partitions with an air layer, in order to ascertain the quantitative correlation between measured and predicted values.

In this paper. the dynamic characteristics of a super high-speed tilting-pad air bearing(TPGB) used in a turbo expander with high expansion ratio are analyzed. The dynamic behavior and stability of a rotary system supported by two journal air bearings are investigated numerically. The transient response of the shaft is obtained by simultaneously solving the equation of motion of the shaft and the dynamic Reynolds equation. The stiffness and damping coefficients of the bearing are calculated from the loading coefficients of the bearing are calculated from the loading capacity. shaft velocity and displacement by using a curve fitting method. The natural frequencies of the 1st and 2nd rigid modes can be calculated from these coefficients. The theoretical method of a rigid rotor system is verified by experimentsut.

The systematic results of anti-rolling tanks tests obtained by bench tester and roll test in towing tank have been examined. The effects on the oscillating period of fluid transfer through the duct of U-tube tank due to damper plates and the effects on roll damping moment of the tank due to swash plates are alto evaluated from the results. A simple control algorithm for a forced fluid transfer in U-tube tanks if devised to active operation of the tank by air blower. The active performances of the tank are confirmed very effective through the tank tests carried out in the irregular waves.

Low frequency noises (up to about 200 Hz) mainly occur due to particular modes, resulting in booming noises, and in general the solutions may be found based on mode controls where conventional methods such as FEM can be used. However, at higher frequencies between 0.3~ 1 kHz, as the number of modes rapidly increase, radiation characteristics from structures, performances of damping sheets and sound packages may be more crucial rather than particular modes, and consequently the conventional FEM may be less practical in dealing with this kinds of structure-borne problems. In this context, so-called 'mid-frequency simulation model' based on FE-SEA hybrid method is studied and validated. Energy Transmission loss (i.e. air borne noise) is also studied. A dash panel component is chosen for this study, which is an important path that transfers both structure-borne and air borne energies into the cavity. Design modifications including structural modifications, attachment of damping sheets and application of different sound packages are taken into account and the corresponding noise characteristics are experimentally identified. It is found that the dash member behaves as a noise path. The damping sheet or sound packages have similar influences on both sound radiation and transmission loss. The comparison between experiments and simulations shows that this model could be used to predict the tendency of noise improvement.

New damping measurement equipment was designed using the dynamic strain gage and high speed analog to digital signal 12 bit converter and compared it with existing equipment. The damping properties of general material and high damping material were also studied by this machine. The SDC (specific damping capacity) was measured with various heat treatment condition, initial vibration amplitude and internal stress. The vibration amplitude of high damping material is decreased within nearly less than 0.4 second after applying the initial forced vibration. But that of general material is still vibrating at the same time. After furnace-cooling heat treatment, SDCmax of Fe-lGwt.%Cr system was more than 40% and that of Fe-5.5wt.%Al alloy was more than 30% after air-cooling heat treatment. Upon increasing of initial vibration amplitude, it is detected the migration of SDCmax into the region of small vibraton amplitude. Damping capacity is decreased rapidly as the internal stress Increases. Damping measurement equipment in the present study was ahln to give the more accurate results of damping properties in the small vibration amplitude region.

This paper presents two methods for designing a high-speed air spindle operated over the rotational speed of 50,000 rpm. The first method is an approximate method, which assumes a symmetric spindle shape even though it is not symmetric in reality. The second is an analysis of rotordynamics using beam and solid models. The approximate method can be used to calculate the bearing load capacities, stiffness and damping coefficients, stability of the shaft system, and response of the forced excitation from the unbalanced mass. Designers can use this method to determine the dimensions of the desired spindle at the first stage of the design. The more detailed behavior of the spindle can be calculated using the rotordynamics theory using beam and solid models based on the Finite Element Method. In this paper, a spindle, with two air bearings, one motor at the end, and two air thrust bearings, is newly developed. The solutions from the two rotordynamics theories are compared with the solution obtained using the approximate method. The three calculations are in agreement, and the procedure for the design of a spindle system, supported on the externally pressurized air bearings, ispresented and discussed.
