This study investigates improvement of torsional strength of special wrench for K-series self-propelled howitzer power-pack maintenance. In order to maintain the power-pack, special wrench is one of the essential tools for assembling/disassemblimg the engine and transmission. However, failures(plastic deformation, fracture phenomenon and etc.) have been frequently reported even though special wrench was used within recommended standard torque range. Therefore, in this study, finite element analysis using ABAQUS was performed and modification of design parameters have been proposed. Prototypes based on the proposed parameters were manufactured and torsional experiment(torque about 130 % of recommend maximum torque) validated the newly proposed design parameters. Special wrench based on this study is applied to mass production and currently used for the maintenance.

Design equations for calculating the lateral-torsional buckling moment resistances of I-section beams with continuous lateral top-flange bracing subjected to several loading conditions are investigated based on elastic finite-element analyses. The equations presented in this study are compared with current moment gradient modifiers presented by other researchers and specifications. The equation suggested in the SSRC Guides(1998) has a good agreement with the results of finite-element analyses. The moment gradient correction factors proposed in the SSRC Guides(1998) should be easily used to calculate the lateral-torsional buckling moment resistance of I-beams with continuous lateral top-flange bracing.

The main torsional vibration source of the powertrain is the fluctuation of engine torque. The gear rattle is impact generating in the backlash of the free gear due to this torsional vibration. Optimization of the clutch torsional characteristic is one of the effective method to reduce the idle gear rattle. Many researches have been reported on this problem but only few of them give sufficient consideration to the detailed clutch modeling and the experiment. This paper pays attention to the optimization of clutch design parameters and the experiment to reduce the idle gear rattle vibration and noise.

The rattle noise is the most significant in many kinds of manual gearbox noises, which is generated at the idle stage of the engine operation. The main torsional vibration source of the driveline is the fluctuation of the engine torque. The gear rattle is impacts generating in the backlash of the free gear due to this torsional vibration. Many researchers reported the clutch torsional characteristic optimization method to reduce the idle gear rattle but only few of them give sufficient consideration to the system parameters like gear backlash, drag torque, system inertia, inertia distribution, engine torque fluctuation, idle engine rotation speed, and accessory load. This paper pays attention to the gear impact mechanism and system design parameters to reduce the idle gear rattle with computer simulation.

The purpose of this study is to reduce the vibration noise of differential gear by reducing torque fluctuation of drive pinion shaft which causes vibration noise of differential gear in rear wheel drive vehicles. For this we developed multi-degree of freedom analysis model in which mass moment of inertia and torsional spring combined, the validity of the simulation model was checked by the field test and we examined the influence of torsional vibration of driveline elements by performing forced vibration analysis of engine excitation torque. We studied the methods for reducing torsional vibration of driveline according to the design factor of propeller shaft and examined the effects reducing vibration differential gear by applying flexible coupling.

A procedure for critical buckling moment of a tapered beam is proposed with the application of potential energy calculations using Ritz method. Respective solution allows to obtain critical moments initiating lateral buckling of the simply supported, modestly tapered steel I-beams. In particular, lateral-torsional buckling of beams with simultaneously tapered flanges and the web are considered. Detailed, numerical, parametric analyses are carried out. Typical engineering, uniformly distributed design loads are considered for three cases of the load, applied to the top flange, shear centre, as well as to the bottom flange. In addition simply supported beam under gradient moments is investigated. The parametric analysis of simultaneously tapered beam flanges and the web, demonstrates that tapering of flanges influences much more the critical moments than tapering of the web.

In this paper, a conventional refined plastic hinge analysis is improved to account for the effects of local buckling and lateral-torsional buckling. The degradation of flexural strength caused by these effects is implicitly considered using practical LRFD equation. The second-order effect is captured using stability functions to minimize modeling and solution time. An incremental-iterative scheme based on the generalized displacement control method is employed to solve the nonlinear equilibrium equations. A computer program is developed to predict the second-order inelastic behavior of space steel frames. To verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed program, the obtained results are compared with the existing results and those generated using the commercial finite element package ABAQUS. It can be concluded that the proposed program proves to be a reliable and effective tool for daily use in engineering design.

Torsional vibration analysis in a large two -stroke low speed diesel engine and generator system for stationary power plants is performed to verify that the vibration characteristics of shafting system meet design requirements. Our own developed S/W is employed for the analysis, whose results are evaluated comparing with measurements. Vibration analysis results of the system are presented according to the change of loading(unload, 100%load, 110% load) and operating(mis-firing, uneven firing) conditions of the stationary power plants.

A carbon/epoxy composite drive shaft used for the power transmission of the automobiles with steel joints. Compared with the metallic drive shaft, the composite one has the weight saving of 50% with equivalent torsional strength and fatigue characteristics. In this study, the filament winding technique for the composite tube and composite/metal joining technique are estabilished. The performance test of the drive shaft is carried out. The optimal condition of the surface roughness of the steel adherend was $1.5{{\mu}m}$ to $2.5{{\mu}m}$, and the optimal condition of the bonding thickness was 0.15mm. Maximum torque and torsional stiffness of the composite drive shaft manufactured by filament winding process were found to be $210kg{\cdot}m$ and $18.5kg{\cdot}m/deg$, respectively.

In the 2-mass system with flexible shaft, a torsional vibration is often generated because of the elastic elements in torque transmission as the newly required speed response which is very close to the primary resonant frequency. This vibration makes it difficult to achieve quick responses of speed and disturbance rejection. In this paper, 2-mass system is designed by using pole placement based on optimal control theory fur fast speed response and torsional vibration elimination and using neural network for disturbance rejection in particular. The simulation results show that the proposed controller based on neural network and full state feedback controller has better performance than 려ll state feedback controller, especially fur disturbance rejection.
