A study was carried out to investigate the fluid-structure interaction phenomena of buried hydrophone system that exposed complex loads due to handling, transportation and installation. The buried hydrophone system has necessarily neighborhood structures for installation. Because of the neighborhood structure, acoustic field is deformed. We analyze the piezoelectric-structural-acoustic coupled problem and the results to use a finite element analysis software, ANSYS, which has an coupled field analysis capability. The effect of the component of hydrophone system is revealed altogether in pressure distribution. So, we classify and analyze the problem by four different compositions for decomposition.

The spatial focusing of time reversal Lamb waves on a plate has attracted considerable attention for identifying the location of an input source. This study investigates the spatial focusing performance on a plate with respect to the number of piezoelectric (PZT) sensors for varying locations of input sources. In particular, a small number of PZT sensors produce spatial focusing through the virtual sensor effect due to reflection of Lamb waves at plate edges. The spatial focusing performance with respect to the number of PZT sensors is quantified in terms of signal to noise ratio through numerical simulation and its implication is discussed.

A cylindrical constant volume combustion chamber was used to investigate the flow characteristics at spark plug and the combustion characteristics of homogeneous charge methane-air mixture under various initial pressure, excess air ratio and ignition times in quiescent mixture. The flow characteristics such as mean velocity and turbulence intensity was analyzed by hot wire anemometer. Combustion pressure development measured by piezoelectric pressure transducer and flame propagation acquired by ICCD camera were used to investigate the effect of initial pressure, excess air ratio and ignition times on pressure, combustion duration, flame speed and burning velocity. Mean velocity and turbulence intensity had the maximum value at 200 or 300ms and then decreased to near 0 value gradually after 3 seconds. Combustion duration, flame speed and burning velocity were observed to be promoted with excess air ratio of 1.1, lower initial pressure and ignition time of 300ms.

기본조성이 0.5[Pb(Ni$_{1}$3/Nb$_{2}$3/)O$_{3}$]-0.5[0.65PbTiO$_{3}$ -0.35PbZrO$_{3}$] (PNN-PT-PZ)인 압전세라믹스를 NaCl-KCI를 사용한 flux의 양 및 소결온도에 따른 생성반응과 소결특성, 유전 및 압전특성을 조사하였다. 이때 1몰의 산화물에 대한 flux의 양은 0.1, 2 및 5mole로 하였으며 소결온도는 1000-1200.deg.C로 하였다. 본 연구의 flux법은 고상반응법에 비해 낮은 하소온도에서 pyrochlore상을 현저히 줄일수 있었으며 고상반응법보다 낮은 온도에서 치밀화가 이루어질뿐 아니라 유전 및 압전특성을 개선할 수 있었으며 소결온도도 낮출 수 있었다. Flux의 양이 증가할수록 결정의 입성장이 빨랐으며 유전 및 압전특성이 가장 좋은 flux의 첨가량의 조건은 1mole이었다.

When marine lubricating oil began to be emulsified and oxidized through ingressive water that have leaked from cooling pump seal systems, cooler, purifier system and piping system, the cavitation erosion-corrosion in alloy metals of bearings remains to the various troublesome problem at effective engine performance. Therefore, applied the cathodic protection to the control test of cavitation erosion-corrosion, and appointed the marine system oil containing 3% sea water as test environments, with different conductibility. Also, used the piezoelectric vibrator with 20 KHz, 24 $\mu$m as the cavity generation apparatus, and examined the weight loss, potential value, current density etc. in specimens with those condition. According to this testing data, investigated influence of cathodic protection on the control characteristics of cavitation erosion-corrosion, and will serve those as an elementary design data of marine bearing.

For reduction of CO, NOx and soot emission emitted by diesel diffusion combustion, the authors focused on injection actuator to improve fuel availability inside combustion chamber. In this study, it was investigated the internal dynamic characteristics of two-stage injection with diesel injectors with different driving type for the common rail direct injection by using the AMESim simulation code. The analysis parameter defined such as fuel pressure, injection hole's diameter and driven voltage. As the results, it was shown that the piezo-driven injector had a faster response and had better control capability than the solenoid-driven injector. It was found the piezo-driven injector can be utilized effectively as multiple injector than solenoid-driven injector.

A broad-band underwater acoustic transducer that uses thickness vibration mode, derived from a disk type piezoelectric ceramic, has been proposed and designed for DVL (Doppler Velocity Log). Three different types of acoustic transducer were evaluated with respect to the transmitting voltage response, receiving voltage sensitivity and bandwidth of the transducer. The effect of the acoustic impedance matching layer and backing layer is discussed. The results demonstrated that three matching layer with lossy backing layer is the best configuration for underwater transducer. The trial underwater acoustic transducer with three matching layer has a frequency bandwidth of 55%, maximum transmitting voltage response of 200 dB and a maximum receiving voltage sensitivity of -187.3 dB.

The structural characteristics of the stiffened double cylinder was investigated through experiment and analysis. The outside cylinder was excited with piezoelectric actuator and the mode shape of the cylinder with stiffening T frame was obtained by using holographic interferometry. Finite element method was applied for further modal investigation of the stiffened cylinder. The experimental results showed that the mode shape of cylinder was dependent on the exciting frequencies and the T frame showed salient effect of damping at most of the resonent frequencies. In particular frequencies, the T frame worked as a transmitter. FFM showed similar results with the experiments. This paper showed that the laser-based method such as holographic interferometry is well suited for investigation of the whole-field mode shapes and FEM has good performance to estimate the medal characteristics of the mechanical structure.

In this study, a prototype piezo-driven Injector. as a new method driven by piezoelectric energy, has been designed and fabricated based on the concept of inverse piezo-electric effect to overcome the major drawbacks of conventional solenoid-driven injector with a fixed and slow control of injection rate. The effects of an electric control between the solenoid valve and piezo-ceramic stack for injector needle's driving on the dynamic characteristics were usually investigated. We found that this piezo-electric actuator has the main advantage to drastically reducing the time of injector nozzle opening, as well to exert higher force output levels.

Piezoactuator using a flexure hinge mechanism is often used in the precision stages. When the total size of the hinge mechanism become small compared with the deformation of the hinge mechanism, the geometrical nonlinearity makes a considerable error in the output displacement. In this research, the incremental method based on the matrix method is developed to model the effect of the geometrical nonlinearity. Developed modeling method is applied to derive the error of output displacement of the bridge-type hinge mechanism and its results are derived with respect to the design parameters. This method can be easily used to the design optimization of the hinge mechanism and analysis results show that the geometrical nonlinearity error should be considered to achieve a high accuracy to the piezoactuators.
