Severe fatigue and noise problems of modular bridge expansion joints (MBEJs) are often induced by vehicle loads. However, the dynamic characteristics of single-support MBEJs have yet to be further investigated. To better understand the vibration mechanism of single-support MBEJs under vehicle loads, a 3D finite element model of single-support MBEJ with five center beams is built. Successive vehicle loads are given out and the vertical dynamic responses of each center beams are analyzed under the successive loads. Dynamic amplification factors (DAFs) are also calculated along with increasing vehicle velocities from 20 km/h to 120 km/h with an interval 20 km/h. The research reveals the vibration mechanism of the single-support MBEJs considering coupled center beam resonance, which shows that dynamic responses of a given center beam will be influenced by the neighboring center beams due to their rebound after the vehicle wheels depart. Maximal DAF 1.5 appears at 120 km/h on the second center beam. The research results can be utilized for reference in the design, operation and maintenance of single-support MBEJs.

In dynamic analyses such as seismic ground response and soil-structure interaction problems, it is very crucial to obtain accurate dynamic shear modulus of soil deposit. In this study, an extensive data base of available experimental data is compiled and reanalyzed to establish a simple empirical formula for the dynamic shear modulus reduction curve to cover wide range of strain for sandy soils. The proposed empirical equation is to represent the dynamic shear modulus degradation with strain in terms of low-amplitude dynamic shear modulus and effective mean confining Pressure, since those factors have the most significant effect on the Position and shape of the shear modulus reduction curve for nonelastic soils. If low-amplitude shear modulus is measured, degraded modulus at any shear strain amplitude can be calculated using the proposed equation.

In this paper, the dynamic response of a CNC 5 Axles machining center was analyzed and then controlled passively by using the dynamic absorber. For the simplification of the theoretical approach, the CNC 5 Axles machining center was modeled as a flexible beam(Bed) having a point mass(Column), two discrete systems(a Table-set and a dynamic absorber). Specifically by using the dynamic absorber, the dynamic response of a Table-set which be caused by the vibration of a flexible beam, was reduced down to the infinitesimal level. The optimal design factors of the dynamic absorber were obtained from the minimization of the cost function. It was found that the natural frequencies of a UT-380 machining center be varied due to the movement of the Table-set. In view of the dynamic response of a Table-set, the larger spring stiffness and mass of the dynamic absorber were found to give the greater reduction.

In high-speed optical disk drive, the excitation caused by rotation of a mass-unbalanced disk is a major source of vibration. The vibration can be a disturbance to the servo system, which is sufficient to cause severe failures in the reading and writing process. The vibration also causes users to feel unpleasantness. The vibration reduction is therefore essential for the reliable operation of optical disk drive. One of the approaches to reduce the vibration is a dynamic vibration absorber(DVA). In this paper, we analyze the dynamic behavior of $DVD{\pm}RW$ combo drive system with DVA through 12-dof rigid multi-body dynamic model. The effective location and the optimal frequency ratio for the DVA are obtained from the analysis. The DVA are fabricated based on the analysis and its usefulness is confirmed.

The component mode synthesis method(CMS) used for vibration analysis has demerit that error becomes larger, as degree of natural frequency grows higher. The reason of error occurrence is that Guyan's static reduction is used and the number of modes taken in each component is deficient. This paper proposes the substructure synthesis method using dynamic reduction to solve the problem from the component mode synthesis method. Computer simulation for the proposed method. FEM and the component mode synthesis method(CMS) on a rectrangular plate has been carried out to prove the avilability of the proposed method.

Set-up reduction is an important aspect of the Japanese Just-In-Time (JIT) and Zero Inventory (ZI) concepts. In this paper, we first analyze the effects of set-up cost reduction on tatal inventory, average lot size and forecast horizon in the dynamic lot size model. We also examine the various effects of set-up cost reduction in the EOQ model and explain why many Japanese firms try to cut set-up cost and/or set-up time greatly.

Resilient materials are generally used for the floating floors to reduce the floor impact sound. Dynamic stiffness of resilient material have a close relation with the floor impact sound reduction. In this study, to examine the relationship between dynamic stiffness and lightweight impact sound level, the dynamic stiffness and floor impact sound level of 51 resilient materials were measured. The impact sound level of each of these resilient materials, whose dynamic stiffness was measured, was measured before and after installation, and the level difference (${\Delta}L$) was analyzed. The result of test showed that the dynamic stiffness of resilient materials decreased, the lightweight impact sound level also decreased, and there was a correlation between the dynamic stiffness and the lightweight impact sound, especially in the low frequency domain.

A pseudo 480-Hz drive method has been proposed to reduce the dynamic false contour noise that occurs on flat panel displays with displaying grayscale image in the digital mode, such as plasma display panels. The proposed method makes the image movements nearly continuous by rearranging the 8-bit image data displayed for 1 TV field into 8 subfields. The position of the image data rearranged in subfields has been optimized on the basis of the speed of the moving image by computer simulations for the dynamic false contour noise. It is verified that a significant reduction in the dynamic false contour noise is achieved with the proposed method as compared to the conventional noise reduction technologies. Moreover, to reduce the noise in digital mode displays, the proposed technology requires only 8 subfields. Therefore, there is no reduction in the brightness of the image.

Two kinds of polyurethane elastomers were prepared and their acoustical properties underwater investigated. Their dynamic mechanical properties were measured using a dynamic mechanical analyzer. The sound speed and echo reduction in the 1-50 kHz frequency range were calculated from the data obtained using the analyzer. The sound speed, transmission and attenuation cofficient in 300-800 kHz were measured in a water-filled tank. Impedance tube experiments were performed to determine the reflective coefficient and echo reduction in the 3-8 kHz range. The polyurethane elastomer containing a hollow glass sphere showed a lower reflective coefficient and a higher echo reduction than the polyurethane elastomer without a filler.
