A torsional vibration at driveline happens seriously at rapid vehicle acceleration. The torsional vibration at driveline can be reduced by optimization of joint angle and yoke phase angle of driveline. But, the joint angle of driveline is changed according to vehicle driving condition as acceleration, deceleration, forward and backward driving, so that excessive vibration is transmitted to vehicle body at specific driving condition. Especially under rapid acceleration condition, vibration transmitted to body could be maximized because excitation force at rapid acceleration is bigger than that at normal driving condition due to changed joint angle. The torsional vibration of driveline can be kept at low level by controlling suspension parameter to minimize rigid axle displacement as well as optimizing joint angles considering the vehicle acceleration condition.

A military vehicle undergoes normal to extreme driving conditions, which consequently induce the fatigue and fracture of cabin and frame. So, it is important to estimate the fatigue life of two components at an initial design stage. In this paper, Modal Superposition Method(MSM) was applied to evaluate the durability performance of a small-sized military truck. For reliable durability analysis, a Virtual Test Lab(VTL) Model was established by correlation with experimental results. These data were extracted from actual driving test, modal test, and SPMD(Suspension Parameter Measuring Device) test. This process shows that Virtual Fatigue Analysis can be a useful approach in the development of military vehicles as well as commercial vehicles.

A CFD software was used to simulate free surface flow of SCC in the T-Box test. In total, seven simulations were developed to study the effect of rheological parameters on the non-restricted flow performance of SCC in both horizontal and vertical directions. Different suspending fluids having five plastic viscosity values between 10 and 50 Pa.s, three yield stress values between 14 and 75 Pa, one density of $2500kg/m^3$, and one shear elasticity modulus of 100 Pa were considered for suspension of 178 spherical particles of 20-mm diameter and $2500kg/m^3$ density. The results of the simulations are found to correlate well to changes in rheological parameters of the suspending fluid. Plastic viscosity was shown to be the most dominant parameter affecting flowability and dynamic stability compared to the yield stress. A new approach was proposed to evaluate performability of SCC based on a trade-off between flowability and dynamic stability.

Rubber components are widely used in many application such as vibration isolators, damping, ride quality. Rubber spring is used in primary suspension system for railway vehicle. Characteristics and useful life prediction of rubber spring was very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability. Non-linear properties of rubber material which are described as strain energy function are important parameter to design and evaluate of rubber spring. These are determined by physical tests which are uniaxial tension, equi-biaxial tension and pure shear test. The computer simulation was executed to predict and evaluate the load capacity and stiffness for rubber spring. In order to investigate the useful life, the acceleration test were carried out. Acceleration test results changes as the threshold are used for assessment of the useful life and time to threshold value were plotted against reciprocal of absolute temperature to give the Arrhenius plot. By using the acceleration test, several useful life prediction for rubber spring were proposed.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder, characterized by varying or persistent hyperglycemia, which induces several changes in the erythrocyte membrane and its cytoplasm, leading to alteration in the deformability. Techniques applied to measure this are based on filtration of erythrocyte suspension through a membrane and to obtain diffraction pattern under sheared conditions. Ektacytometry requiring less quantity of blood with disposable flow chamber used to measure the deformability of erythrocytes obtained from patients with diabetes and also associated with nephropathy and retinopathy. A decreasing trend of deformability in these patients is observed. The shape parameter form factor, as determined by image processing procedure, increases with the increased of blood glucose levels and shows a pattern similar to filtration time of erythrocyte suspensions through cellulose membranes. Further work is suggested to detect micro-level changes in cell membrane in diabetic patients

Experimental study was conducted to characterize shear-induced lateral migration of $1.0-{\mu}m-diameter$ Brownian particles flowing through a rectangular microchannel which can be used to deliver small amount of liquids, drugs, biological agents and particles in microfluidic devices. Measurements were obtained by using a mercury lamp with a light of 532-nm wavelength, an inverted epi-fluorescence microscope, and a cooled CCD camera to record particle images. Peclet number was used as a parameter to assess the lateral distribution of the particles at a fixed volume fraction of $0.1\%$. It was shown that as Pe increased, particles were moved toward the centerline of the channel, which is in good agreement with previous studies.

Rubber spring is used in primary suspension system for railway vehicle. This rubber spring has function which reduce vibration and noise, support the load carried in operation of rail vehicle. The non-linear properties of rubber which are described as strain energy function are important parameter to design and evaluate of rubber components. These are determined by material tests which are tension, compression and shear test. The behaviors of load-displacement of rubber spring for rail vehicle are evaluated by using commercial FEA code. It is shown that the results by FEA simulations are in close agreement with the test results

The purpose of this study is to obtain a foundation data for chassis design and road noise reduction of automobiles. Using the combination of the automobile, radial tires and instrumentation equipment, experimental investigation were carried out to examine the characteristics of the structural vibration of tire as the key to obtaining the effective parameters for reducing road noise.

This study have been performed to investigate the dynamic behavior of the Korean High Speed Train(KHST) during the conceptual design process. This study gets a focus on the analysis of the rigid model, for which the yaw damper layout is modified in a nonlinear limit cycle analysis. In this study, influences of the system parameters such as stiffness of suspension and connection elements as well as damping coefficients were studied and an optimized parameter set is achieved. Throughout the dynamic calculation of KHST on the straight and the curved track, vibration accelerations in car body, ride comforts and wheel rail forces are investigated. Finally the vibration characteristics from rigid car body are compared with those due to the influence of elastic car body.

In this study, a mathematical model fur analyzing the shift characteristics is proposed. The proposed model comprises power transmission system and vehicle system, which are coupled. And On-road car test is carried out in order to extract model parameters. Tile model is composed of a detailed powertrain, an engine/AT housing, a simplified suspension system. tires and a vehicle body model. On the test, the vehicle accelerations and pitch ratio are measured by using accelerometers and gyro sensor. The other data, for example speeds, a throttle position and a brake signal, are taken from sensors which already exist in the vehicle. Using natural frequency and characteristic equation, vehicle model parameters are extracted from experimental data.
