Railroad bridges account for 25% of the entire high-speed rail network. Railway bridges are subject to gradual structural degradation or fatigue accumulation due to consistent and repeating excitation by fast moving trains. Wireless sensing technology has opened up a new avenue for bridge health monitoring owing to its low-cost, high fidelity, and multiple sensing capability. On the other hand, measuring the transient response during train passage is quite challenging that the current wireless sensor system cannot be applied due to the intrinsic time delay of the sensor network. Therefore, this paper presents a framework for monitoring such transient responses with wireless sensing systems using 1) real-time excessive vibration monitoring through ultra-low-power MEMS accelerometers, and 2) post-event time synchronization scheme. The ultra-low power accelerometer continuously monitors the vibration and trigger network when excessive vibrations are detected. The entire network of wireless smart sensors starts sensing through triggering and the post-event time synchronization is conducted to compensate for the time error on the measured responses. The results of this study highlight the potential of detecting the impact load and triggering the entire network, as well as the effectiveness of the post-event time synchronized scheme for compensating for the time error. A numerical and experimental study was carried out to validate the proposed sensing hardware and time synchronization method.

To predict the noise and vibration characteristics of induction motor system, it is necessary to develop the mathematical model including all the mechanical elements such as shaft, blower, rotor, fan, bearing, case and mounting parts. Coupling effect between case-mount system and rotor- shaft system including shaft, blower, rotor, fan and bearing is examined. Impact exciting experimentation was done in order to verify vibration model of the induction motor system. From experimental results, we can appreciate that the natural frequencies of induction motor system are in good agrements with analysis.

A full scale hydrodynamic simulation that requires an accurate reproduction of shock-induced detonation was conducted for design of an energetic component system. A detailed hydrodynamic analysis SW was developed to validate the reactive flow model for predicting the shock propagation in a train configuration and to quantify the shock sensitivity of the energetic materials. The pyrotechnic device is composed of four main components, namely a donor unit (HNS+HMX), a bulkhead (STS), an acceptor explosive (RDX), and a propellant (BPN) for gas generation. The pressurized gases generated from the burning propellant were purged into a 10 cc release chamber for study of the inherent oscillatory flow induced by the interferences between shock and rarefaction waves. The pressure fluctuations measured from experiment and calculation were investigated to further validate the peculiar peak at specific characteristic frequency (${\omega}_c=8.3kHz$). In this paper, a step-by-step numerical description of detonation of high explosive components, deflagration of propellant component, and deformation of metal component is given in order to facilitate the proper implementation of the outlined formulation into a shock physics code for a full scale hydrodynamic simulation of the energetic component system.

현재 사용되고 있는 진동감쇠능 Mg-Zr 합금인 K1A는 우수한 진동감쇠능을 갖으나 열악한 기계적 특성과 Zr이 고가이면서 고융점 원소로 합금화가 어렵다는 문제점 때문에 진동테이블, 미사일 유도시스템 및 레코딩 장비 등에 소량만 적용되고 있다. Mg-Ni 합금의 경우Ni가 Mg 용탕 내에 고용되지 않아 우수한 진동감쇠능을 갖으나 Fe, Cu등과 함께 Mg의 부식을 가속시키는 원소로 사용이 제한적일 뿐 아니라 Zr과 마찬가지로 Ni도 고융점 원소로 합금화가 어렵다는 것도 문제점으로 작용하고 있다. Mg-Si 합금의 경우 Si이 극소량만 고용되어 우수한 진동감쇠능을 보이며 Ni과 달리 부식에 영향을 받지 않는 원소이지만 Zr, Ni와 마찬가지로 고가이면서 고융점 원소로 합금화가 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. Mg 용탕에 첨가하게 되면 용탕의 표면에 MgO, CaO 피막을 형성하여 발화현상을 억제할 뿐 아리라 첨가량의 증가에 따라 발화온도를 상승시키는 Ca의 경우 Mg 내에 고용되어 진동감쇠능을 감소시킬 뿐 아니라 유동성 저하 및 열간균열을 야기하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 CaO의 경우 Mg내에 고용되지 않고, 가격이 저렴하며 Mg 고유 특성의 변화가 적다. 또한 Ca와 같이 Mg 용탕의 발화를 억제하여 보호가스인 $SF_6$를 사용하지 않아도 된다. 이런 다양한 장점을 갖는 CaO를 첨가한 Mg합금이 진동감쇠능을 유지하면서 기계적 특성이 향상된다면 주행 시 안전성 및 정음성이 요구되는 수송기기 분야와 외부충격으로부터 데이터 보호가 필수적인 휴대용 전자정보통신기기 분야에서 적용이 증가할 전망이며 이에 따라 이 분야에 대한 지속적인 연구와 투자가 이루어져야 할 것이다.

Torsional vibrations, such as the gear rattle of the manual transmission in vehicle systems, are correlated with the firing stroke from the engine. These vibro-impacts can be examined based upon linear time-invariant analysis. In order to understand the gear dynamics, a specific manual transmission with a front-engine front-wheel drive configuration is investigated. A method to reduce the degrees of freedom is suggested based upon the eigensolutions and frequency response functions, which will lead to the development of an efficient matrix size. The dynamic characteristics of single- and dual-mass flywheels are then compared. The effect of the dual-mass flywheel is investigated based upon the mobility analysis, which will lead to understanding of the concepts for avoiding vibro-impacts. A linear time-invariant system model is examined by employing the effective clutch stiffness from a two-stage clutch damper. Thus, the relationship between the dynamic characteristics and the clutch damper can be predicted by assuming a combination of different stage stiffness levels.

쇽옵서버 피스톤로드(shock absorber piston rod)는 자동차의 충격과 진동의 흡수에 작용하는 자동차 현가장치(suspension equipment)부품의 일종이다. 피스톤로드는 자동차 충격흡수에 매우 밀접한 영향을 주기 때문에 제조에 있어서 고도의 정밀도와 표면 매끄러움이 요구된다. 피스톤로드의 제조공정은 선삭, 홈가공, 밀링, 전조 등 여러 공정으로 구성되는데, 여기서 품질불량에 가장 크게 영향을 주는 공정은 선삭공정(lathing process)이다. 이는 선삭공정의 가공공구(insert component)가 주원인으로서 반복되는 가공으로 인한 공구의 마모(abrasion)나 파손(breakage)이 주요 원인으로 지적되고 있다. 따라서 가공 데이터를 수집 분석하여 공구의 교체시기를 파악한다거나 가공 부품의 측정 데이터가 관리도 상하한선 내에 있는지 등 가공 공정 전반에 대한 체계적인 공정관리 시스템 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 자동차 쇽업서버 피스톤로드 제조공정의 가공 정보를 체계적으로 수집하여 관리하고 분석하는 자동차 쇽업서버 피스톤로드 제조공정에 대한 공정관리시스템을 개발하는 것이 목적이다. 개발결과 피스톤 로드의 측정 치수 변화 및 불량발생을 측정, 감지할 수 있었으며, 본 시스템을 통해 가공공구의 치수오차를 보정(compensation)하고 공정의 불량발생을 조기에 방지 함으로써 불량률은 1/5로 경감하고 작업자 수도 1/2로 감소시킬 수 있었다.

The railway turnout system is one of the most important systems that set train routes. Turnout system integrity should be guaranteed for robust train operation. To diagnose the turnout system status, LVDT and accelerometers are installed on a turnout system in a high speed line. The LVDT and accelerometers produce signals containing physical meaning of the turnout systems. The LVDT produces the displacement of the rail gauge and vibration when point moving or a train passes on turnout systems and the accelerometer produces impact forces induced by wheel sets. We performed data extraction from the measured signals and parameterized the extracted signals into meaningful quantities. The parameters are used for classifying whether the turnout status is normal. We proposed two methods for the classification, one uses probabilistic distribution and the other artificial neuron networks. The probabilistic distribution is used for the parameter being classified by the quantities and the artificial neuron networks for the form classification. Finally, we show how to learn the normal status of a turnout system.

A gas deflector cooling system plays an important role in the suppression of shock wave generated during the ignition of a launch vehicle engine. Also, this system decrease a large vibration of damaging the payload and structure of the launch vehicle. The gas deflector cooling system in the launch pad of NARO space center was constructed to directly inject water into the plume of the launch vehicle engine. The flight test result of NARO space launch vehicle showed that this method had a good performance on the viewpoint of cooling the gas deflector.
