A new bandwidth reduction algorithm is developed by combining the two-step approach and the frontal ordering scheme. In the two-step approach, finite elements are numbered first, followed by nodal numbering based on the graph theory. The concept of wave front is incorporated into it to control the cardinality of the set of adjacent nodes and the bandwidth to be achieved. They are controlled systematically by rational selection of next candidates with the purpose of getting the smaller bandwidth efficiently. Eighteen meshes are renumbered and the results are compared with those of well-known algorithms. The results demonstrate the efficiency and the reliability of the proposed algorithm.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the principal causes of vibration problem and find out the method of vibration reduction in a chip-mount system. The principal causes are investigated through measurements of vibration spectrum and model parameters. Modal parameters are obtained by using an experimental model test. Based on the model parameters from experiments. a model of finite element method is formulated. The model presents effective redesign of increasing the natural frequencies in order to reduce the vibration of a chip-mount system. Further, through computer simulation for the behavior of head to be main vibration source, the best acceleration pattern of head movement can be verified to achieve effective head-positioning and reduce the vibration due to head movement.

This paper presents the multi-mode noise reduction of smart panels of which passive piezoelectric shunt damping is introduced. For the piezoelectric shunt damping, a passive shunt circuit composed of inductors and a load resistor is connected to the piezoelectric patch mounted on the panel structure. An electrical impedance model is introduced for the system based on the measured electrical impedance, and the criteria for maximum energy dissipation at the shunt circuit is used to find the optimal shunt parameters. For multi-mode shunt damping, the shunt circuit is modified by the introduction of a block circuit. Also the optimal location of the piezoelectric patch is studied by finite element analysis in order to cause the maximum admittance from the patch for each mode of the structure. An acoustic test is performed for the panels and a remarkable noise reduction is obtained in multiple modes of the panel structure.

The comer filling in shaped drawing process is an important characteristic, unlike the round drawing. It has also influence on the dimensional accuracy of the product. In this study, therefore, the shaped drawing process has been simulated by the three dimensional rigid-plastic finite element method in order to investigate the effect of process variables such as reduction in area and semi-die angle to the corner filling. The artificial neural network has also been introduced to reduce the number of simulations. To verify the results of simulations, experiments have been performed on the real industrial products. According to the results, the main process variable on the corner filling is the combination of semi-die angle in the irregular shaped drawing processes, but in the case of regular shaped drawing processes, reduction in area has great influence on the corner filling.

This paper deals with the reduction of cogging torque of a outer-rotor type BLDC motor mainly used for washing machines. The motor comprises permanent magnet outer-rotor and stator with coils and core. This structure inherently produces vibration and cogging torque because of uneven reluctance according to rotation of the rotor. Up to now, adopted a type of 24 magnet pole and 36 slot-stator. This generates high main torque but accompanies comparatively large cogging torque. This paper proposes a 32-pole 36-slot type motor which reduces cogging torque remarkably. The influence of cogging torque is varied according to pole-slot combinations. The characteristic of the motor was obtained by a two-dimensional finite element method coupled with a drive circuit. The performance of the proposed model is superior to that of the existing model because of the reduction of torque ripple and the improvement of back ernf wave form.

A method of weight evaluation of the load-bearing structural elements of cars is presented and the weight ratio of the analysis model is investigated. Replacing the materials of floor elements of the car into the high-strength steel, a considerable weight-reduction of the model has been obtained. The 1500cc model is selected for the present study and the stick model analysis is employed for the structural analysis. The torsional stiffness of the weight-reduced model is also evaluated and it is shown it has a reasonable rigidity. The ratio of the weight of the load-bearing structural elements to the unladen vehicle weight of cars is about 0.12for the 1500cc model and the weight-reduction of this study can be obtained around 17% of the weight of the load-bearing structural elements.

In this paper, the conventional linear induction motor(LIM) used in propelling the MAGLEV in Korea is redesigned in order to reduce its weight. The specifications of the newly designed model for base speed, acceleration, rated thrust and maximum output is respectively 45km/h, 4.0km/h/sec, 5,200[N] and 65 [kW]. Weight reduction effect of the LIM according to the change of pole number from 8 to 6 is shown. Equivalent circuit analysis considering end effect and finite element method are used for the analysis of the redesigned model. Finally the weight reduction ratio of the newly designed LIM to the conventional model, thrust, attraction force, line current, temperature rise, flux density distribution are presented.

In this paper, rotordynamic analyses of the Campbell diagram, critical speeds, and harmonic responses for a TMP rotor system are performed. Since the finite element model of the TMP rotor system has a very large number of degrees of freedom because of its complex geometry, and dynamic analyses for investigating the critical speeds, stability, and harmonic response are repeated for various design parameters, model order reduction (MOR) is necessary to reduce the computational cost. The Krylov-based model order reduction via moment matching significantly speeds up the rotordynamic analyses for the TMP rotor system.

This article presents the reduction of vibration generated by an automobile fuel pump. In order to analysis the vibration of the fuel pump, a simplified dynamic model is established, which is composed of a rigid rotor and a equivalent springs. The equivalent stiffnesses of the upper and lower assemblies are evaluated by the comparison of modal testing results and the finite element analysis. the stiffness for the oil film of the journal bearing is extracted by using Reynold's equation. In addition, the time responses for the vibration of the fuel pump are computed by using a commercial multi-body dynamics software, RecurDyn. Based on these results, some design suggestions are proposed to reduce the vibration of an automobile fuel pump.

This paper presents rational modeling and analysis method for complex structures with various structural joints. For modeling of structural joint, a general modeling technique is newly proposed by flexibility influence coefficient and inverse of flexibility matrix and static reduction concept which is applied to the retained DOFs(degrees of freedom) of detailed finite element model of struction joints. By this method,joint model with contact surface. which can not be reduced by the general reduction theory such as Guyan reduction theory ,can be reduced effectively. And in this method, the nonlinearity of the contact surface can be linearized within a proper range and the boundary effects of joint region can be excluded. Using the proposed method, screwed joint,glued joint and bolted joint are analyzed. And the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by experiments.
