This paper deals with structural analysis and vibration characteristics of scaffolding structures with a hoist according to payloads. In order to analyze the vibrational and structural characteristics for 20-step scaffolding structure, structural and vibrational characteristics for 2-step scaffolding structure were compared with some experimental results. The numerical results for natural frequencies of scaffolding structures have a good agreement with experimental ones. Through the numerical analysis, firstly, it is shown that the maximum stress of scaffolding structures is lower than von-mises yield criteria when four persons with total weight of 280 kgf are working at the top of the scaffolding structures. Secondly, vibration characteristics including natural frequencies and modes for scaffolding structures are shown in case of various kinds of moving masses.

Recently. a new technique called Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry(ESPI) has been developed to overcome the drawbacks of existing holography. This technique enable real-time interference fringes to be displayed directly on TV monitor without recourse to any form of photographic processing. This research was carried out for the purpose of applying the vibration analysis method employing Electronic Speckle Pattern Interference technique to the vibration analysis of uniform rectangular cantilever plate. The natural vibration frequencies found by ESPI were in fair agreement with theoretical eigen frequencies acquired using theoretical formula G. B. Warburton proposed.

Free vibration analysis of helical springs was performed by the use of the commercial finite element analysis program, ANSYS. The investigation of national frequency was focused on the effect of various parameters such as boundary conditions, spring indices, number of coil turns and helix angles which are considered to affect the free vibration of a spring. The finite element method was validated by comparison with the result of a previouosly published literature. The similarity of frequency trend was shown among three boundary conditions: clamped-clamped, free-free, simpliy supported-simply supported but there was no similarity in light of mode shapes among them. Several modes showed similar frequencies on and near the frequencies identified by the natural frequency formula of Wahl. Natural frequencies increased with spring indices and number of turns decreasing and with helix angles increasing. The results investigated by finiete element method were compared with the experemental result and theoretical result and showed a good agreement among them.

Recently, the damping effect of building structures are greatly reduced because the use of non-structures members as like curtain wall are decreased and large open space are in need for the service of buildings. Assembly and office buildings with a lower natural frequency have a higher possibility of experiencing excessive vibration induced by human activities as like jumping, running and walking. These excessive vibration make the occupants uncomfortable and the serviceability deterioration. The common method of application of walking loads for the vibration analysis of structures subjected to walking loads is to inflict a series unit walking load and a periodic function at a node. But this method could not consider the moving effect of walking. In this study, natural frequency and damping ratio of plate structure are evaluated by heel drop tests. And new application of equivalent walking loads are introduced for vibration analysis of real slab system subjected to walking loads. The response obtained from the numerical analysis are compared well to the results measured by experimental tests. It is possible to efficiently analyze the vibration of floor which is subjected to walking loads by applying equivalent walking loads.

The vibration of a mask degrades the color purity in CRT Therefore, a damping wire is put into contact with the mask to reduce the vibration in perfectly flat CRT. In this study, we analyzed the vibration of the mask contacting with the damping wire using FEM. First we calculated the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the mask by modal analysis, and compared them with the measured results to confirm our finite element model. The modal analysis of the wire was also performed to investigate resonance with the mask. Finally, the transient dynamic analysis of the mask contacting with the wire was performed. The vibration of the mask was measured to confirm our analysis, and the results are in good agreement with the analysis.

Finite element vibration analysis of the trial 5x5 partial fuel assembly in the still water was performed using the substructure method. ANSYS software was used as a finite element modeling and modal analysis tool. The calculated natural frequencies of the partial fuel assembly were more consistent with the experimental results for the identical test model compared to the much larger solid model. This modeling technique can be utilized for the fuel assembly dynamic behavior analysis under normal operation, seismic and loss-of-coolant-accident analysis.

According to the trends of construction of large size vessel with high power, the natural frequencies of the bending modes of propeller blades have been lower than the past. Therefore, it is expected that the noise and vibration problems of the marine propeller are frequently occurred. As main issue of the propeller noise and vibration problem, the cavitation noise and singing noise due to the flow induced excitation of the bending modes of propeller blade in the high frequency range has been studied by the hydrodynamic researchers in the view point of the excitation force reduction. In this paper, the vibration mode characteristics of propeller with a large diameter in very large vessel are investigated by the vibration analysis of the finite element method using MSC/Nastran and the vibration measurement by the impact test on the propeller blade. According to the results, the natural frequencies of various blade bending modes in water entrained condition could be estimated from the natural frequencies taken by the measurement and free vibration analysis in the dry condition, and it could be estimated how the high frequency noise such as singing is generated from the blade bending modes.

This paper is study of solving vibration problem occurred in moving hand of wafer transfer robot in semiconductor manufacturing line. Long settling time for decreasing vibration makes low production rate, and moreover the excessive vibration of hand sometimes breaks the wafer in a cassette. The ways of reducing the moving speed and changing the type of motion profile did not help for lessening vibration. Therefore, we analyzed the mechanical property of the hand such as natural frequency, and frequency component of the motion profile currently used in the manufacturing line. In several conditions of motion profile, we found the best condition of which the frequency component in near of natural frequency of the hand is minimal and this induced small vibration in moving hand. The results were verified theoretically and experimentally using frequency analysis.

In this paper, vibration sources of a car-holder are identified and the car vibrations are reduced by structural modification. For vibration identification, vibration signals are measured by an accelerometer when the car is moving. From some experiments and finite element analyses, it is also found that resonances occur because the natural frequencies of the car exist in usual driving speed range. To shift the natural frequencies outside the driving speed range, the connection part is modified to increase stiffness. It is verified that considerable amount of vibration are reduced by the structural modification.

This paper is concerned with the vibration analysis of a rectangular plate with multiple circular holes. On the contrary to the case of rectangular plate with multiple rectangular holes, it is very difficult to perform qualitative analysis on natural vibration characteristics because of geometrical inconsistency. In this paper, we applied the Independent Coordinate Coupling Method(ICCM) to the addressed problem, which was developed to compute natural vibration characteristics of the rectangular plate with a circular hole and proven to be computationally effective. The ICCM is based on Rayleigh-Ritz method but utilizes independent coordinates for each hole domain. By matching the deflection conditions for each hole imposed on the expressions, we can easily derive the reduced mass and stiffness matrices. The resulting equation is then used for the calculation of the eigenvalue problem. The numerical results show the efficacy of the Independent Coordinate Coupling Method.
