The paper proposes to characterize the free vibration behaviour of non-uniform cylindrical shells using spline approximation under first order shear deformation theory. The system of coupled differential equations in terms of displacement and rotational functions are obtained. These functions are approximated by cubic splines. A generalized eigenvalue problem is obtained and solved numerically for an eigenfrequency parameter and an associated eigenvector which are spline coefficients. Four and two layered cylindrical shells consisting of two different lamination materials and plies comprising of same as well as different materials under two different boundary conditions are analyzed. The effect of length parameter, circumferential node number, material properties, ply orientation, number of lay ups, and coefficients of thickness variations on the frequency parameter is investigated.

The paper investigates the dynamic behaviour of stiffened panels. The coupled differential equations for eccentric stiffening configuration are first derived. Then a semi-analytical procedure for dynamic analysis of stiffened panels is presented. Unlike finite element or finite strip methods, where the plate is discretized into a set of elements or strips, the plate in this procedure is treated as a single element. The potential energy of the structure is first expressed in terms generalized functions that describe the longitudinal and transverse displacement profiles. The resulting non-linear strain energy functions are then transformed into unconstrained optimization problem in which mathematical programming techniques are employed to determine the magnitude of the lowest natural frequency and the associated mode shape for pre-selected plate/stiffener geometric parameters. The described procedure is verified with other numerical methods for several stiffened panels. Results are then presented showing the variation of the natural frequency with plate/stiffener geometric parameters for various stiffening configurations.

The effect of the joint condition of automotive muffler shell and baffle on radiated noise from muffler shell Is studied. Shell vibration characteristics, especially shift In natural frequency and change in of response amplitude, was identified from finite element analysis and modal tests for various joint conditions between shell and baffle. When there is heat expansion and inner pressure from the exhaust 9as in the muffler with elliptical cross section, the shell expands out, and construct gap with baffles. This gap causes more degrees of freedom of shell vibration and natural frequency shift. By welding the muffler shell to the baffles or using a dual shell muffler, the radiated noise problem could be mitigated supplying more a rigid joint and damping, respectively.

This paper addresses the effect of transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia on the natural frequency of beams under axial loads. It has been reported in the author's paper using a finite element analysis that the Timoshenko effect in a rotating disk deceases and then increases again with increasing rotation speed. To validate the phenomenon, the simply-supported beams under uniform tension are selected in this study since they have exact solutions in vibration problem. The results show that the axial tension in beams would not make the Timoshenko effect decrease monotonically but could make the effect increase again unlike the results reported in the other studies for beams.

This paper presents a two-stage electrohydraulic servovalve with a nozzle-flapper pilot stage, which is controlled by stack-type piezoelectric elements. The flapper moving mechanism developed in this research can compensate for the hysteresis problem and thermal expansion of the piezoelectric elements. The experimental result shows that this flapper moving mechanism has the frequency response of about 600 Hz. And a simplified servovalve system using this flapper moving mechanism has the frequency response of about 300 Hz at the supply pressure of 210 bar.

Many nonlinear controllers for the power system are based on nonlinear models involving the power angle as an element of the state, and therefore the reference value for the power angle is needed. As this reference value is not generally available, it is difficult to apply such nonlinear control methods in practice. To deal with this problem, we present an input-output feedback linearizing control scheme by selecting the output as a combination of the squared voltage and the relative frequency. It is shown that the internal dynamics are locally stable with controllable damping, and that the frequency remains bounded for all time. Simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

It is necessary to eliminate the broad band noise which frequency is in a few kHz to MHz in the AC line to supply the power to electrical and electronic control equipments. Because this kind of noise could damage the device or could be a source of malfunction, many devices like a filter and surge suppressor are developed to cut off the noise. But those device could not disconnected from the power line, so it remain some problem and on be used in limited area, In this paper, we present performance test results NCT(noise Cut Transformer) with excellent performance for reducing the high frequency noise and surge existing in the power line.

This paper presents a buck circuit topology of high-frequency with a single switching element. It solved the problem which arised from hard-switching in high-frequency using a resonant snubber and operating under the principle of ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutation schemes. In the existing circuit, it has the voltage stress which is twice of input voltage in free-wheeling diode. But in the proposed circuit, it has voltage stress which is lower than input voltage with modifing a location of free-wheeling diode. In this paper, it explained the circuit operation of each mode and confirmed the waveform of each mode with simulation result. Also the experiment result verified the simulation waveform and compared the existing voltage stress of free-wheeling diode with the proposed voltage stress of that. Moreover, it compares and analyzes the proposed circuit's efficiency with the hard-switching circuit's efficiency according to the change of load current.

This paper presents a new stochastic controller applied on the vibration control system under irregular disturbances based on the mode selection scheme. Measured displacement and frequency characteristics are simultaneously used in designing a mode selecting controller. This technique is validated by applying to the suppression problem of a flexible beam with randomly vibrated circumstances. The presented method, called Mode Selecting Stochastic Controller, uses the frequency measurement of the flexible system based on a Fast-Fourier transformation algorithm. This controller is constructed by combining mode selection method with previous known Stochastic Controller in real time: Numerical simulations and several experiments are conducted to validate the proposed method. The performance of the proposed method is compared with a stochastic controller developed recently. This method was improved compared with previous one.

Recently, the machine tools have been needed for high speed and accuracy to increase productivity. The most Important thing to get a more stabilized machine is to know the frequency response which has an effect on manufacture a lot. This problem should be considered seriously by many researchers. There are many application programs about FEM but Just using FEM program to get information of the object is not enough to put our confidence in the stability of the machine tool design. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to make a study for proving one of the ways to design to produce stabilized a machine more efficiently by comparing FRT method and FEM. At these two tests, we can learn about the frequency response area causing resonance and we can reconfirm the result to trust.
