To detect faults and monitor thinning on a pipe, many people use ultra sonic sensors that are operated in high frequency range. Because there are many modes in high frequency range, it is difficult to find faults and monitor pipe thinning on a structure. If we deal with signals in a low frequency range which include only A0 wave and S0 wave, the information of monitoring and diagnosis can be easily obtained. In this paper, the technique for exciting low frequency range using ultra sonic sensors is proposed. The main idea of the proposed method comes from the beat phenomenon. The beat frequency is equal to the absolute value of the difference in frequency of the two waves. If the beat frequency is tuned by two ultra waves, we can excite A0 mode and S0 mode of structures. To verify the proposed method, we have performed a steel plate and pipe experiments. Experimental results show that two ultra sonic sensors can well excite low frequency range.

The experimental study was carried out to investigate the pressure fluctuation, operating frequency, noise emission and combustion characteristics in an aero-valved pulsating combustor. Measurements of the pressure fluctuation, mean temperature and ion current inside the combustion chamber indicate that combustion phenomena are characteristically similar to those in the diffusion flame. The measured frequency schedue indicates that the acoustic theory of the quarter wave tube can be approximated to give the operating frequency, but correction factor must be involved to estimate the correct operating frequency. The spectral behavior of the noise emission exhibits that frequency bands with high noise intensity are narrowly restricted to the neighborhood of the operating frequency signalling the low-frequency combustion characteristics of the pulsating combustor. Measurements of the operating characteristics as variation of the fuel nozzle diameter and injection angle with 4 fuel nozzles have been made, and it was found that the system produced the stable operating conditions up to the turn down ratio of 3 when the fuel nozzle diameter is 1.2mm, and the optimum fuel injection angle is thought to be in the neighborhood of 30.deg. radially.

The goal of this study is to analysis natural frequency for different static postures of human leg. To perform this research human leg is modeled by multi-body modeling for the musculoskeletal system. This leg model has biarticular muscles which acting on two joints and the muscles represents some of the major muscles, such as hamstring, of the upper and lower limbs. To obtain each static equilibrium position energy method is employed and to analysis natural frequency linearization method for constrained mechanical system is employed. Static equilibrium position depends on some parameter or condition such as hamstring stiffness or external force. Making a change these parameter the aim of this research can be performed.

In this paper, analytical study is performed to reduce residual vibration in seeking mode of optical pick-up. The conditions for acceleration adn deceleration time in trapezoidal velocity profile to reduce residual vibration are derived for undamped vibration system. To verify the validity of conditiosn two example studies are carried out. Numerical and experimental implementations for flexible arm system attached to moving part show that residual vibration is effectively reduced by calculated velocity profile. In addition, simulation study for optical pick-up reveals that by changing natural frequency to resonance frequency the conditions derived assuming undamped system can be applied to obtain velocity profile for minimum residual energy in damped vibration system.

A new mechanical-electrical hybrid passive damping treatment is proposed to improve the performance of structural vibration control. The proposed hybrid passive damping system consists of a constrained layer damping treatment and a shunt circuit. In a passive mechanical constrained layer damping, a viscoelastic material damping layer is used to control the structural vibration modes in high frequency range. The passive electrical damping is designed for targeting the nitration amplitude in the low frequency range. The governing equations of motion are derived through the Hamilton's principle. The obtained mathematical model Is validated experimentally. The presented theoretical and experimental techniques provide invaluable tools for controlling the multiple modes of a vibrating structure over a wide frequency band.

This paper presents the effectiveness of the dynamic vibration absorber consisting of a single mass, coil springs and oil damper on the resonance freauency ratio and amplitude ratio for damped linear systems, that is, primary vibration system with damping. The effects of the dynamic vibration absorber are investigated numerically and experimentally for values of mass ratio, natural frequency ratio, and damping ratio. The experimental results show good agreement with calculated ones. As a result, the characteristics shown by the present work are useful in optimal tuning the dynamic vibration absorber in practice.

This paper describes the natural frequencies obtained through FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and Numerical Analysis which uses the boundary conditions to each equation of motion and the consecutive conditions at each supporting point. And then. we studied on the optimal position determination of middle supporting points to maximize the natural frequency of a beam at 24 Models. We present the data of optimal condition for designing a beam.

Displacement response is one of the important parameter to determine vibration characteristics of bridge structure. Reliable estimate of displacement response is obtained economically from integration of measured acceleration data in frequency domain. Proper sampling rate of frequency in discretization process of measured acceleration is proposed. Comparison of integrated and directly measured displacement response from laboratory experiment for a cantilever beam shows good agreement each other. Mode shape obtained from estimated displacement response also closely match with analytical result, thus the developed method is proved to be effective in practical use.

A modeling method for the dynamic characteristic analysis of a translationally accelerated trapezoidal cantilever plate is presented in this paper. The equations of motion for the plate are derived and transformed into a dimensionless form. The effects of the inclination angles and the acceleration on the vibration characteristics of the plate are investigated. Incidentally, natural frequency loci veering and associated mode shape variations are observed and discussed.

Square beam type piezoelectric vibrating gyro is developed for the measurement of angular velocity, which is compact, small in size and mass- producible. It features that three pieces of piezoelectric ceramics and bonded onto one face of equilateral square bar type gyro head. Two of them are used as sentuators which drive the gyro head and measure Coriolis force. The third piece is used for the feedback signal in order to resonate the gyro head and measure Coriolis force. The third piece is used for the feedback signal in order to resonate the gyro head with its fundamental natural frequency. Matching two fundamental natural frequencies in the gyro head with its driving frequency is found critical in the design of vibration gyro. Calibration results show that the vibrating gyro developed has the dynamic characteristics of first-order system within the frequency range of interest, which can be easily compensated by a lead compensator.
