A gas driven heat pump (GHP) core design comprises internal combustion engine, compressors incorporated to a cooling/heating system, rubber mountings and belt transmissions. Main excitation farces are generated by an engine, compressors themselves and belt fluctuation. It leads to high vibration level of the mount that can cause damage of GHP elements. Therefore an appropriate design of the mounting system is crucial in terms of reliability and vibration reduction. In this paper oscillation of the engine mount is explored both experimentally and analytically. Experimental analysis of natural frequencies and operational frequency response of the GHP engine mounting system enables to create simplified model for numerical and analytical investigations. It is worked out criteria f3r vibration abatement of the isolated structure. Influence of bracket stiffness between engine and compressors, suspension locations and damper performance is investigated. Ways to reduce excitation forces and improve dynamic performance of the engine-compressor mounting system are considered from these analyses. Implementation of the proposed approach permits to choose appropriate rubber mountings and their location as well as joining elements design A phase matching technique can be employed to control forces from main exciters. It enables to changing vibration response of the structure by control of natural modes contribution. Proposed changes lead to significant vibration reduction and can be easily utilized in engineering practice.

This paper describes the experimental analysis of the vibration and noise reduction for the washing machine of the home appliances. For the washing machine, the customers always feel electrical and mechanical noise and vibration. First of all, when the dehydration process is working, the washing machine has nonlinear problems and boundary conditions are varied with time. Therefore these problems are very complicated and difficult to analyze. We verify the sources of the noise and vibration and consider the countermeasure to reduce the noise and vibration level of the washing machine.

In this paper the characteristics of vibration induced by subway trains running on track is discussed. The quantitative prediction of the vibration level and the countermeasure for reduction of necessary, is of importance for the better environment. It was made the constructed Bundang line as first step with the modified Young-Dan type to basis on the Japanese Young-Dan type. In this paper it was measured and analyzed to two region (①Susuh-Bokjung, ②Chorim-Suhyun region) of this, at present operational Bundang line when averaging velocity of train is 60(㎞/h). As the response characteristics of frequency induced by subway operation, it was confirmed that frequency band of neighborhood of 30∼80Hz in generally dominant. Also to assess the quantitative vibration as response level to be measured for each point of two region in subway operation, the vibrational response level was measured at the state to be not subway operation. And the level was approximately 1/5∼1/10 level comparing to subway operation.

The vibration analysis of the automobiles has been a good subject for the engineers seeking solutions for more comfortable life. In the area of industrial vehicles, however, the seriousness of the vibration annoyance has not been considered so much. In this paper, a finite element model was built which was good for the low-frequency system(of fork-lift truck), and a forced vibration analysis was obtained for the component of 2n of harmonic orders from engine excitation to this model. Finally, a design optimization upon dynamic responses was made to minimize the vibration acceleration level at selected points representing the vibration level of the whole system.

The noise . vibration characteristics of Hypoid gears which were made from three seperate materials(SCM, TSCM, SNCM) under the identical process were investigated for the sake of durability improvement of differential gear compatible with low level noise gear set. For this study, we developed a rig experimental equipment which can perform close noise.vibration experiment of differential gear. Consequently, we could analyze the noise.vibration characteristics of final reduction gear by materials, and also we observed changes in both metallic structure and hardness according to the materials of pinion gear. In addition to this, the correlation between the vibration of the differential gear and the interior noise of the passenger vehicles was proved by analyzing the results of rig vibration experiment and field noise test.

In this work, vibration characteristics of a flue gas cooler(FGC) for a heavy oil upgrading are experimentally analyzed and an effective method is proposed to reduce the vibration level. Firstly, the vibration under the operation condition of the FGC is measured and analyzed to identify the generation phenomena of vibration. And the displacement of the outer wall of the FGC is also analyzed to identify dominant frequencies of vibration. Secondly, an effective design to reduce the vibration is suggested by using the modal analysis. Consequently an improved design of the FGC gas cooler, which has lower vibration level, is obtained and then verified though the analysis and test.

The failures of local structure of marine medium-speed diesel engine occurred in durability test. The vibration response of the whole engine was in an acceptance level, but the local structures were broken. ODS test and vibration measurement were carried out in order to investigate the root cause of durability problem. These tests revealed that the root cause of failures was excessive vibration by $4.5^{th}$ resonance between engine body and local structure. The best solution to reduce the vibration response is to change the type of mount. After a rigid mount was replaced by a flexible mount, maximum vibration level dropped to 72%.

Power transformers, air-intakes, stacks in a combined thermal power plant are the main noise sources. Power transformer noise among them has being get a target of public complaint due to 480Hz component of its pure tone. The source is mainly magnetostrictive vibration of the transformer core. The first countermeasures was installing sound barrier on the front of transformer. However, 500Hz, center of the frequency is not reduced. This paper includes the measurements of noise level at the near resident apartment, the identification of noise transfer and the countermeasures for noise sources. Cavity resonance type of noise reduction devices was installed on enclosuring wall of transformers. As a result, the noise level from transformer is reduced about 3dB.

For elevated railway station on which track is connected with superstructure of station, structural vibration level and structure-borne-noise level has exceeded the reference level due to structural characteristics which transmits vibration directly. Therefore, existing elevated railway station is in need of economical and effective vibration reduction method which enable train service without interruption. In this study, structural vibration non-transmissible system which is applied to vibroisolating material for column member is developed to reduce vibration. That system is cut covering material of the column section using water-jet method and is installed with vibroisolating material on cut section. To verify vibration reduction effect and structural performance for structural vibration non-transmissible system, impact hammer test and cyclic lateral load test are performed for 1/4 scale test specimens. It is observed that natural period which means vibration response characteristics is shifted, and damping ratio is increased about 15~30% which means that system is effective to reduce structural vibration through vibration test. Also load-displacement relation and stiffness change rate of the columns are examined, and it is shown that ductility and energy dissipation capacity is increased. From test results, it is found that vibration non-transmissible system which is applied to column member enable to maintains structural function.
