It is impossible to predict accurately the dynamic behavior of turbine-generator system because bearing, and rotor characteristics are nonlinear and different from temperature, load, operation speed and bearing lubricant oil property. Especially, the characteristics of turbine hoods affect much the entire vibration characteristics of turbine. As the dynamic stiffness of turbine hoods are changed, the critical speeds of rotor are shifted. In this paper, the vibration behavior of turbine-generator is analyzed by using component mode synthesis and the critical speeds measured during shut-down are compared with the analytic results. It is confirmed that the 1st natural frequency and the mode shape are well in agreement with actual measured data.

A rotating axis diagnostic system supported with journal bearing has been established that has been widely used in the industry. In order to measure the most sensitive signals that would be generated in the abnormal operation, sensors which measure AE(acoustic emission), gap and acceleration have been attached at the various location on the experimental apparatus. Data were obtained in the steady state operational condition of the system which was verified through the empirical measurement. Notable discrepancies were observed in RMS acceleration signal which could be utilized to predict the undesirable operational condition of the system.

In order to achieve high precision machine tools, Performance enhancement of feed drive systems is required. One of the important technical issues is how to decrease thermal expansion of ball screw in proportion to the increase of machining speed. When measuring force of stretch of ball screw, since not only actual expansion and the value of bending have to be considered, it is impossible to define the exact value of expansion. In addition, support bearings of ball screw gain considerable force in axial direction. It also generates thermal expansion on the ball screw, and deteriorates the performances of the hearings. In conclusion, it is impossible to give the pretension enough to absorb all the elongation due to thermal expansion generated during machine is running. If given bed column and saddle are all bent to chance machine accuracy, and the support bearings of ball screw is damaged.

The effects of the main bearing stiffness combined with vertical non-torque force on the input load and shaft deflection of a gearbox were investigated for the three-point suspension drive train of a wind turbine. A finite element analysis model for the drive train was studied experimentally, and its applicability to the present study was verified. The results show that, as the main bearing stiffness is increased, the input load of the gearbox decreases, whereas the input shaft deflection increases. The stiffness component for the pitch moment has the largest influence on the gearbox input load. Although the gearbox life increases at a higher main bearing stiffness, the economic efficiency and durability of the entire drive train system should also be considered in the selection of the main bearing stiffness.

This study was performed to evaluate the dynamic behavior of turbo pump unit. The acceptable separate margin of $1^{st}$ critical speed was obtained by the use of elastic-ring inserted ball bearing, while the poor separate margin of $1^{\st}$ critical speed was appeared in the case without the elastic-ring. In addition, the results show that the stiffness and damping of plain seals give more separate margin of $2^{nd}$ critical speed. However the wear or the failure of seals could reduce the $2^{nd}$ critical speed near the operating speed.

The development of techniques in diagnosing the state of the system is one of the essential tools in establishing the automation and unmanned manufacturing system for the realization of CIM/FMS in the fields. In this paper, we developed various diagnostic schemes for the journal bearing supported rotor system. Up to now, vibration of the shaft, measurement of the displacement and the temperature have been used for diagnostic tools, however, the statistical features only could not differentiate the state from states. Thus, we identified the sensor data f3r the steady state in the signal processing and then applied the fuzzy c-mean technology to cope with the nonlinear characteristics of the system. This will, in return, establish a possible diagnostic system for the rotor system in the fields.

Externally pressurized air journal bearing has been widely used in high-speed spindle system and precision machinery because of its characteristics such as substantially low frictional loss, low heat generation and averaging effect leading better running accuracy. But air journal bearing have a disadvantage of the low load capacity due to the low viscosity. In this paper, The air journal bearing design to overcome the defects of air bearing such as low stiffness and dimping coefficients was investigated theoretically.

This paper considers the vibration problem of vehicle driveline which consists of two propeller shafts and the center bearing. The excessive vibration occurs at the center bearing when the vehicle starts to run. Using the kinematic constraints at the universal joint between two propeller shafts, we develop an one d.o.f model which describes the radial motion of the center bearing. We find out the vibration occurs at the specific vehicle speed corresponding to the natural frequency of the model. Comparing the simulation results with test results we also show that the vibration at low vehicle speed is caused primarily by the joint angle and secondarily by the mis-aligned yoke flange rather than by the unbalance.

In this paper, the vibration of a rotating shaft with a thin rigid disk on bearing supports is considered. It is assumed that the shaft has uniform, circular cross-section. Based on the Timoshenko-beam theory, the transverse displacements and slops in two lateral directions, the axial displacement, and the torsional deformation are considered. And flexible supports are used to analyse the bearings. A spectral element model is developed for the vibration analysis of the rotating shaft with a thin rigid disk, which is modeled by two shaft elements and a thin rigid disk element. The result of vibration analysis by finite element method is compared to the result of this research.

In this thesis, the dynamic characteristic analysis of carriage structure supported by air bearings were peformed. Toward this end, the characteristics of air bearing were numerically analyzed to estimate the stiffness of the air bearing and the clearance between air bearing and guide surface. The modal analysis of the carriage structure was peformed by using finite element method, and the experimental modal analysis was also performed to validate the finite element model, where rigid body modes were compared to validate the stiffness of the air bearings. From the results, the air spring stiffness can be estimated within the range of acceptable accuracy under any pressure and clearance condition.
