SLA(Scanned Linear Array) is a portable display unit for implementing next-generation virtual realities, utilizes a design that light generated by a line of LEDs is reflected from the rapidly oscillating mirror to generate a raster display. Reaction forces generated by the motions of the mirror and counter-balance mass cancel each other at the device base, reducing vibration. Metal leaf springs have been extensively applied in such portable units. Magnetic springs have been developed and adopted that can replace the metal spring and can avoid many disadvantages of metal springs. We model and analyze the dynamics of the structure with magnetic springs and present the simulation and experimental analysis results, which can be utilized for identifying and eliminating possible problem sources in removing shaking forces and moments, and oscillating the mirror at the required amplitude and frequency. Finally, we present the improved novel magnetic actuator model which can be applied in portable display units.

This paper is studied on the effect of the bolt joint stiffness on the Thrust Measurement Stand(TMS). TMS is a test stand for thrust performance of the propulsion system, which depends on two factors: The $1^{st}$ is the parallel degree between directions of the thrust vector and action lines of the corresponding measuring load cells for the vector, and the $2^{nd}$ is the orthogonality between action lines of the measuring load cells. Therefore, it is essential to maintain the original shape of the TMS under operating conditions. In this paper, it is examined how the geometric tolerance of the bolt joints and threads of the load cell trains affect the performance of the TMS. Also, some techniques to overcome related problems are proposed.
