A new theoretical derailment coefficient model of wheel-climb derailment is proposed to consider the influence of wheel unloading. The derailment coefficient model is based on the theoretical derailment model of a wheelset that was developed to predict the derailment induced by train collisions. Presently, in domestic derailment regulations, a derailment coefficient of 0.8 is allowable using Nadal's formula, which is for a flange angle of $60^{\circ}$ and a friction coefficient of 0.3. However, theoretical studies focusing on different flange angles to justify the derailment coefficient of 0.8 have not been conducted. Therefore, this study theoretically explains a derailment coefficient of 0.8 using the proposed derailment coefficient model. Furthermore, wheel unloading of up to 50% is accepted without a clear basis. Accordingly, the correlation between a wheel unloading of 50% and a derailment coefficient of 0.8 is confirmed by using the proposed derailment coefficient model. Finally, the validity of the proposed derailment coefficient model is demonstrated through dynamic simulations.

In order to design a reliable machine component efficiently, it is necessary to set up the process of durability analysis using computer simulation technique. In this paper, two methods for dynamic stress calculation, which are basis of durability analysis, are reviewed. Then, a user-oriented dynamic stress analysis program is developed from these two algorithms together with a general-purpose flexible body dynamic analysis and structural analysis programs. Finally, a slider-crank mechanism which has a flexible connecting-rod is chosen to show the special characteristics of these two dynamic stress calculation methods.

This paper presented is a case study of a real compressor rotor of a refinery plant for high speed balancing of flexible rotor. The rotor was tested in the expert high-speed balancing facility established by KIMM at early 2004. The capability of the facility can reach 40000rpm in rotation speed and 8 ton in rotor weight for high-speed balancing. The facility performs multi-plane at-speed balancing using influence coefficient from the vibration data measured at two pedestals. The test rotor had exceeded permissible criteria of vibration at initial run. But by processing a low-speed balancing at 1000 rpm and six trial run trying to calculate influence coefficient of rotor to the range of operating speed, the final result of high-speed balancing revealed a remarkable reduce of vibration at pedestal of the rotor.

The aim of this study was to explore the influence of structure coupling effect on structural damping of blade based on the blade vibration characteristic. For this purpose, the scaled blade model of NREL 5 MW offshore wind turbine was processed and employed in the wind tunnel test to validate the reliability of theoretical and numerical models. The attenuation curves of maximum displacement and the varying curves of equivalent damping coefficient of the blade under the rated condition were respectively compared and analyzed by constructing single blade model and whole machine model. The attenuation law of blade dynamic response was obtained and the structure coupling effect was proved to exert a significant influence on the equivalent damping coefficient. The results indicate that the attenuation trend of the maximum displacement response curve of the single blade varies more obviously with the increase of elastic modulus as compared to that under the structure coupling effect. In contrast to the single blade model, the varying curve of equivalent damping coefficient with the period is relatively steep for the whole machine model. The findings are of great significance to guide the structure design and material selection for wind turbine blades.

Under the rapid change of a new vehicle model, it is necessary to develop a durability analysis technique using computer simulation. In order to do this. reliable dynamic stress-time history for the vehicle components must be calculated on various road conditions. In this paper, a full vehicle simulation model which is composed of flexible frame and chassis components is proposed and verified its reliability from the comparison with field test data. Finally, dynamic stress-time history on the rear chassis components is predicted with hybrid and modal superposition method.

The dynamic response of crossing tunnels under heavy-haul train loads is still not fully understood. In this study, based on the case of a high-speed tunnel underneath an existing heavy-haul railway tunnel, a model experiment was performed to research the dynamic response characteristics of crossing tunnels. It is found that the under-crossing changes the dynamic response of the existing tunnel and surrounding rock. The acceleration response of the existing tunnel enhances, and the dynamic stress of rock mass between crossing tunnels decreases after the excavation. Both tunneling and the excitation of heavy-haul train loads stretch the tunnel base, and the maximum tensile strain is 18.35 µε in this model test. Then, the measured results were validated by numerical simulation. Also, a parametric study was performed to discuss the influence of the relative position between crossing tunnels and the advanced support on the dynamic behavior of the existing tunnel, where an amplifying coefficient of tunnel vibration was introduced to describe the change in acceleration due to tunneling. These results reveal the dynamic amplifying phenomenon of the existing tunnel during the new tunnel construction, which can be referred in the dynamic design of crossing tunnels.

Machine tool design concepts have evolved towards high efficiency, accurate precision. high structural integrity, and multi-functional systems. Like many other structures, machine tools are also composed of many parts. When these parts are assembled, many kinds of joints are used. In the finite element analysis of these assembled structures, most joints are commonly considered as rigid joints. But, to get the more accurate solution, we need to model these joints in a appropriate manner. In this study, rational dynamic modeling and analysis method for complex structures are studied with special attention to slide way joints. For modeling of slide way joints, a general modeling technique is used by influence coefficients method which is applied to the conversion of detailed finite element model to the equivalent reduced joint model. The theoretical part of this method is illustrated and the method is applied to the structure with slide way joint. In this method. the non-linearity of the contact surfaces is considered within a proper range and the boundary effect of the joint model can be eliminated. The proposed method was applied to finite element modal analysis of a clamp jointed cantilever beam and slide way joints of the vertical type lathe. The method can also be used to other kinds of joint modeling. The results of these analysis were compared with those of Yoshimura models and rigid joint models. which demonstrated the practical applicability of the proposed method.

Recently it is increased by degrees to produce complex and large lattice structures such as bridge, tower, crane, and space structures. In general, in order to analyse these structures we have used finite element method(FEM). In this method, however, it is necessary to use a large amount of computer memory and to take long computation time. For overcoming this problem, the Authors have developed the transfer dynamic stiffness coefficient method(TDSCM) which consists on the concept of the substructure synthesis method and transfer influence coefficient method. In this paper, the new free vibration analysis method for large type lattice structure is formulated by the TDSCM. And the results obtained by TDSCM are compared with those obtained by FEM, transfer matrix method and experiment. And it is confirmed for TDSCM to be the numerical high accuracy and high speed structure analysis method.

The durability test, along with the crashworthiness test, requires the most time and expense in the vehicle development process. The durability design using CAE tools reduces the time required for both the durability test and actual vehicle production. Existing dynamic stress analyses designed fir the analysis of vehicle fatigue mainly calculate the dynamic stress history and fatigue after performing dynamic analysis and stress analysis with relevant software applications and then superpositioning the dynamic load history and stress influence coefficient at each joint. This approach is a complex process, taking into account the flexibility of the parts. It is, however, incapable of giving accurate consideration to the contacts between components, the non-linearity of materials, and tire-road surface interactions. This approach also requires that the analysts have an expertise in software applications of various kinds or an expert in each area must perform the analysis. This requires as a great deal of manpower and time. In order to complement the existing approaches for dynamic stress analysis, this study aims at the following: (1) to suggest the simple and accurate analysis technique which is capable of producing all the possible necessary results; (2) to reduce dramatically the time and manpower needed to construct a model designed to analyze dynamics, quasi-static stress, and fatigue; and (3) to enable an accurate analysis of fatigue by improving the accuracy of dynamic stress. we verify the presented analysis method through durability evaluation of the knuckle of passenger car.

In the preceding research, the active balancing device, which is an electro-magnetic type, has been developed and active balancing method using influence coefficient method is also proposed. The stability of active balancing control is studied in this paper. A stable condition for active balancing control is derived by estimating errors of influence coefficients. A gain scheduling control using influence coefficients of the reference model is proposed when dynamic characteristic of rotor system is changed. The stability of the balancing method is verified by experiments.
