Design for quite operation of fluid power system requires the understanding of noise and vibration characteristics of the system. This paper presents a dynamic response of design of hydraulic circuit. Experimental investigations on the attenuation of pressure ripple in automotive power steering hydraulic pipe line is examined. Also, a mathematical model of hydraulic pipe is p개posed to support a design of the hydraulic circuit. and the impedance characteristics of pressure ripple is analyzed. It is experimentally shown that power steering hydraulic pipe attenuates pressure ripple with high frequency.

This paper reports a method to modify the gear tooth profile of a wind turbine gearbox to reduce the noise caused by the impact of the gear teeth. The major causes of tooth impact are the elastic deformation of the gear teeth, shafts, and case of the gearbox under loading, and the fabrication tolerances in gear manufacturing. In this study, the tooth profile was modified considering the elastic deformation of the gear tooth and the tooth lead modification to compensate for tooth interference in the lead direction as a result of shaft deformations. The method was applied to the gearbox of a 2.5MW wind turbine, and the transmission error was characterized before and after modifying the gear teeth. For the modified gear teeth, the transmission error (67.6%) was lower by 17.8%. Additionally, the gear contact stress was reduced by 6.3%, to 22.3%.

This paper discusses the development of a 3.5 kW switched reluctance motor (SRM)-based electric air-conditioning (AC) compressor, focusing primarily on the design aspects of the SRM and the integrated controller. In addition to the increased price of rare-earth magnets, SRM's operation capability at high speed and high temperature makes the SRM a viable alternative to the permanent magnet motor for electrically driven automotive air conditioning compressors. A compact and energy efficient scroll compressor is designed and constructed. Two feasible SRM topologies are considered, in terms of efficiency, torque ripple, and acoustic noise. Compact drive electronics are designed and employed to drive the SRM-based compressor. The static and dynamic performance is validated by simulation and experiment.

A 3-dimensional helical rod finite element is devloped for the dynamic analysis of cylindrical springs. Element matrices are formulated using the Galerkin's method, and an exact static deflection curve is used as a shape function. Because the resultant mass and stiffness matrices of the model are symmetric, effective direct solution method can easily be applied for analysing dynamic behavior of springs. The model is used to analyze the dynamic characteristics of a typical automotive valve spring. The effectiveness of the developed helical rod element is verified by comparing the results of the proposed method with those of a classical theory and experiments. The helical element developed in this study is superior to a straight beam element and a 2-dimensional curved beam element for this problem.

This paper reports on the theoretical and expetimental study of the vane and cam ring motions in a variable displacement vane pump which is already used widely in various industrial and automotive applications. Dynamic equations of vane and cam ring motion and flow continuity equations are derived and then solved simultaneously using the numerical method. Vane detachment cause the pressure tipples, noise, wear in cam ring, and decrease the volumetric efficiency. Consequently, Vane detachment occurs due to excess compression in the pumping chamber, and it can be reduced by adjustment of design parmeters.

Resistance welding processes are widely used in automotive applications. In particular, Mash-Seam resistance welding is typically used in Tailored Blank process. If spot welds are changed to a continuous weld, it's easy to reduce noise and to be more stable in cars. A arc welding, laser welding, seam welding using wheel electrode are available to make continuous welds on a car body, but they demand operator with advanced skills and expensive cost to develop. Therefore, flat electrode continuous mash-seam resistance welding process has been used to improve the weak points in currently available system in lap seam welding. This developed process has much more strength and air tightability, and also has much better plastic workability than laser welding. Moreover, commercial RSW machine can be readily used in this welding process.

The goal of this paper is to minimize the weight of the T-structure supporting steering system in reducing the vibration level on steering wheel which could be amplified by the resonance. Presently, requirements for reducing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) in automotive area are more stringent than ever. One of them is the vibration of steering system which occurs sometimes at high speeds or when the engine is idling. Besides, the reduction of weight is also one of requirements for improvement of vehicle performance. This paper used the micro genetic algorithm as an optimization method to satisfy above two requirements. The whole T-structure assembly including steering column was used for frequency analysis.

This paper addresses experimental results carried out to investigate the characteristics of dynamic mass for Korean. Vertical seat vibration in the frequency range of 0.5-30 Hz was applied to a seated Korean male subject. To examine the intra-variable effects on dynamic mass, five different postures and three different vibration excitation levels were considered. The applied acceleration and transmitted force to the hip of the seated subject were measured simultaneously. Detailed experimental results of measured dynamic mass are illustrated for each posture and/or vibration excitation level. Maximum peaks of around 5 Hz were observed for most experimental cases. They are found to allow the identification of dynamic characteristics of Korean seated body for various real vibration environments. Furthermore, they are expected to be very useful in designing new seats for automotive and railway vehicles and in improving their vibration ride duality.
