Pleasantness or quietness becomes one of the most important factors for residential and office building designs recently. Especially for apartments, the noise generated by falling objects becomes a sensitive issue these days. To overcome the problem of the impact noise in apartments, the floor design has been changed. To reduce the transmissibility of the noise. composite floor structures ate devised and implemented for the construction of apartments. In this paper. the noise reduction) performance of a composite floor plate with holes is analyzed. Computational models for the structures are developed and its Performance is evaluated by using the finite element method. The results show that the noise can be significantly reduced with the multi-layer composite floor plates with holes.

The conventional output filter design methods of a voltage source inverter includes two main problems: the performance is not sure to satisfy the specification under the nonlinear load; the designed filter must be occasionally modified when the controller is designed. In this paper, we analyze the relation between both linear and nonlinear loads, the output voltage magnitude, LC lowpass filter parameters, and the control response time. Upon the basis, both filter and controller are simultaneously designed for the performance to satisfy the specification under the nonlinear load as well as linear load. The proposed method sharply enhances the reliability of the performance. P.U is used for the method to be applied to all the quantities of the system. The simulation and the experiment of the proposed method carried out respectively to verify the validity.

The application of the compressive force path method for the design of earthquake-resistant reinforced concrete structural walls with a shear span-to-depth ratio larger than 2.5 has been shown by experiment to lead to a significant reduction of the code specified transverse reinforcement within the critical lengths without compromising the code requirements for structural performance. The present work complements these findings with experimental results obtained from tests on structural walls with a shear span-to-depth ratio smaller than 2.5. The results show that the compressive force path method is capable of safeguarding the code performance requirements without the need of transverse reinforcement confining concrete within the critical lengths. Moreover, it is shown that ductility can be considerably increased by improving the strength of the two bottom edges of the walls through the use of structural steel elements extending to a small distance of the order of 100 mm from the wall base.

In the Building Act, performance-based fire safety design is being promoted for institutionalization. The behavior of the structure against fire conditions can be predicted by using the advanced numerical analysis method based on the FEM (Finite Element Method) to predict the entire structural behavior including the behavior of the structure, but there is a limit to expressing the fire properties of the space and predicting the fire properties It is difficult to determine the variables to be transmitted to the FEM (Finite Element Method) model from the fire simulation results using FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator). Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to introduce the code user's manual for FDS and FEM unidirectional coupling analysis.

A typical disk brake system consists of caliper housing, piston, seal and two pads etc. The configuration of seal groove, dimension of piston and seal, and seal material properties are important ones for brake performance, as these affect the retraction of piston. The rubber seal is designed to perform dual functions of sealing the brake oil at brake-applied and retracting the caliper piston at brake-released. In this paper, the seal stress is analyzed using Finite Element Method and experiment is conducted by Taguchi's Method. We attempt to quantify the critical design factors in the seal groove and evaluate their impact on some of brake performance factors. The investigation obtained from this study can not only enhance the seal groove design optimization, but also reduce product prototype testing and development time.

An iterative tuning technique is derived for PID controllers which are widely used in industries. The tuning algorithm is based upon a fuzzy indirect reasoning method and an iterative technique. The PID gains for the first tuning action are determined by a method which is modified from the Ziegler-Nichols step response method. The first PID gains are determined to obtain a control performance so close to a design performance that the following tuning process can be made effectively. The design paramaters are given as time-domain variables which human is familiar with. The results of simulation studies show that the proposed tuning method can produce an effective tuning for arbitrary design performances.

The direct strength method adopted by the AISI Standard and AS/NZS 4600 is an advanced design method meant to substitute the effective width method for the design of cold-formed steel structural members accounting for local instability of thin plate elements. It was proven that the design strength formula for the direct strength method could predict the ultimate strength of medium strength steel welded section compressive and flexural members with local buckling reasonably. This paper focuses on the modification of the direct strength formula for the application to high strength and high performance steel welded section columns which have the nominal yield stress higher than 460 MPa and undergo local buckling, overall buckling or their interaction. The resistance of high strength steel welded H and Box section columns calculated by the proposed direct strength formulae were validated by comparison with various compression test results, FE results, and predictions by existing specifications.

A computerized axial flow fan design system is developed with the capabilities for predicting the aerodynamic performance and the noise characteristics of fan. In the present study, the basic fan blading design is made by combining vortex distribution scheme with camber line design, airfoil selection, blade thickness distribution and stacking of blade elements. With the designed fan blade geometry, the through-flow field and the performance of fan are analyzed by using the streamline curvature computing scheme with spanwise total pressure loss and flow deviation models. Fan noise is assumed to be generated due to the pressure fluctuation induced by wake vortices of fan blades and to radiate as dipole distribution. The vortex-induced fluctuating pressure on blade surface is calculated by combining thin airfoil theory and the predicted flow field data. The predicted performances, sound pressure level and noise directivity patterns of fan by the present method are favorably compared with the test data of actual fans. Furthermore, the present method is shown to be very useful in designing the blade geometry of new fan and optimizing design variables of the fan to achieve higher efficiency and lower noise level.

In this study, a method for the multi-objective optimization of an impeller for a centrifugal compressor using fluid-structure interaction (FSI) and response surface method (RSM) was proposed. Numerical simulation was conducted using ANSYS CFX and Mechanical with various configurations of impeller geometry. Each design parameter was divided into 3 levels. A total of 15 design points were planned using Box-Behnken design, which is one of the design of experiment (DOE) techniques. Response surfaces based on the results of the DOE were used to find the optimal shape of the impeller. Two objective functions, isentropic efficiency and equivalent stress were selected. Each objective function is an important factor of aerodynamic performance and structural safety. The entire process of optimization was conducted using the ANSYS Design Xplorer (DX). The trade-off between the two objectives was analyzed in the light of Pareto-optimal solutions. Through the optimization, the structural safety and aerodynamic performance of the centrifugal compressor were increased.

We introduce a new method for lens design that combines an eyepiece with the finite model eye, to make a corrected version of the accommodation-dependent Navarro eye. The optical system that we designed, which includes a human eye, takes into account the aberration of the eye and increases the performance of the image in the retina. In the design results, for the optimized eyepiece combined with the corrected Navarro eye, visual acuity is 1.40. Compared with the existing method of eyepiece design using inverse ray tracing with the corrected Navarro eye, MTF value was recorded as 0.079 to 0.283 at 160 lp/mm and visual performance was improved.
