Transmission error (TE) is the most important cause of gear noise and vibration because TEs affect the changes of the force and the speed of gears. TE is usually expressed as an angular deviation, or a linear deviation measured at the pitch point and calculated at successive positions of the pinion as it goes through the meshing cycle. Accurate measurement of TE for gear transmission will provide a reasonable basis for gear design, manufacturing processes and quality control. Therefore, in order to study the accuracy of the gear transmission, stability, TE, vibration and noise after gear micro-geometry modification, a gear transmission test rig is proposed in this paper, which is based on the existing technical conditions, by using reasonable testing methods, hardware and a signal processing method. All of the details and the experience can be taken into consideration in the next upgraded test rig.

Elimination of squeal noise occurred during brake application is an important task for the improvement of comforts in an industrial forklift. In this paper, a test rig was developed which was possible for testing of brake noise and an experimental measurement on squeal noise was performed. The causes of the brake noise are identified by experimenting how the factors such as automatic transmission fluid and rpm of drive axle affect the squeal. In order to identify the squeal characteristics, the signal analyses for noise are performed by using frequency spectrums. Also, brake test using a forklift was carried out to confirm the reliability of test results by using a test rig comparing with the occurrence of squeal noise. Experimental results showed that the tendencies of occurrence of squeal noise are well agreed at two test methods by using the test rig and forklift.

The rotor dynamics and balancing technic for rotating equipment during engineering and manufacture stage are to be carefully considered in order to minimize the operation troubles regarding vibration during commissioning stage. In this paper, the test rig, which includes the disks as balancing plane, is designed and manufactured, so that the characteristic of rotor dynamics can be analyzed such as critical speed and mode shape. The critical speed predicted through natural frequency analysis is verified by the actual measurement on bearing housing vibration during start-up condition of test rig. The low speed balancing and the operating speed balancing test are performed respectively with consideration of first critical speed, and the residual unbalance amounts are estimated in accordance with the relevant method described in API standard. In addition, the single and dual plane balancing are carried out on main disk and trim disk depended on phase information at each balancing step.

Condensation is one of the common issues which we can easily see in everyday life. For example, the surface of glasses with cold water is easily moisturized. This wet surface gives us uncomfortable feeling and is sometimes dangerous because it is slippery. As the safety on working space is one of the most important issue on offshore project, condensation is also important matter to take care of with precaution. Since the bottom of vessel or offshore facility is submersed in the water, the risk of having condensate on the steel surface is getting higher because sea water temperature is normally lower than ambient temperature. And if there is any electric equipment or person working in that space, condensation is normally not allowed. The pontoon of semi-submersible drilling rig is such a space which is submersed, with electric and mechanical equipments and person working periodically. To prevent condensation in pontoon, study was conducted by checking several cases.

A development of landing gear drop test rig system for a small aircraft was studied and presented in this paper. Hydraulic actuators were considered in order to operate test system automatically and the wire winch system was applied to keep safety of test operators. This rig system was manufactured after checking the structural stability. Friction force measurement and drop velocity evaluation tests were done to confirm the confidence of test system. As a results of evaluation tests, it was confirmed that developed landing gear drop test system was adaptable.

This paper describes the steady flow characteristics due to PDA and tumble control valve in combustion chamber. We also investigated the flow inclination angle defined as the inverse tangent of non-dimensional rig tumble(NRT) devided by non-dimensional rig swirl(NRS) to find dominant flow direction. So we adapted two different types of PDA valve(port deactivation valve) to strengthen a swirl flow. The in-cylinder swirl flow different tendency between with/without PDA valve. It might be thought to be affected by swirl flow. We could find that tumble ratio and swirl ratio is different by PDA valve. The comparison are taked account of the swirl, the tumble ratio comparison in same mass flow rate. As a result, PDA valve is better than tumble control valve both in steady flow condition and swirl, tumble ratio. The data from present study are available for design of engine as the basic data.

This paper described operation and vibration characteristics of a 'tail-fan' anti-torque performance test system. KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) developed a 'tail-fan' anti-torque system of a helicopter and a performance test-rig to test the performance of the tail-fan. The performance test-rig consists of driving, supporting and rotating parts. In the process of the performance test, firstly, operation test of the test-rig were carried out to verify design specifications. Secondly, natural frequencies of fan blade and test-rig were measured respectively. Lastly, to find the operation rotating speed for the performance test, vibration test were carried out using accelerometers on tail gear box. The performance test conditions of the tail-fan to avoid a resonance were found from the fan-plot and vibration test results. The tail-fan performance tests were well done safely.

Pyroprocessing is an alternative method of reprocessing spent fuel, usually involving the dissolving spent fuel in a molten salt media. The National Nuclear Laboratory designed, built, and commissioned a molten salt dynamics rig to investigate the transfer characteristics of molten lithium chloride-potassium chloride eutectic salt. The efficacy and flow characteristics of a high-temperature centrifugal pump and argon gas lift were obtained for pumping the molten salt at temperatures up to $500^{\circ}C$. The rig design proved suitable on an industrial scale and transfer methods appropriate for use in future molten salt systems. Corrosion within the rig was managed, and melting techniques were optimized to reduce stresses on the rig. The results obtained improve the understanding of molten salt transport dynamics, materials, and engineering design issues and support the industrialization of molten salts pyroprocessing.
