For rarefied gas flow regimes, physical phenomena such as velocity slip and temperature jump occur on the solid body surface. To predict these phenomena accurately, either the Navier-Stokes solver with a slip boundary condition or the direct simulation Monte Carlo method should be used. In the present study, flow simulations of a wedge were conducted in Mach-10 flow of argon gas for several different flow regimes using a two-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver with the Maxwell slip boundary condition. The results of the simulations were compared with those of the direct simulation Monte Carlo method to assess the present method. It was found that the values of the velocity slip and the temperature jump predicted increase as the Knudsen number increases. Also, the results are comparatively reasonable up to the Knudsen number of 0.05.

Rubbing occurs when a rotor contacts with a stator during whirling motion of the rotor. Compared to full annular rub, partial rub against a nonrotating part is more common in practice. In this study, several partial rubbing phenomena of superharmonic and subharmonic vibrations and jump phenomenon are demonstrated experimentally for the cases of light and heavy rub for a flexible rotor. The orbit patterns of forward or backward whirling are also calculated using directional spectrum analysis. The occurrence if subharmonic vibration during heavy rub is demonstrated as one impact per two rotations both experimentally and numerically.

Small form factor optical disks for near-field optics using solid immersion lens were developed. Diamond like carbon film and lubricant film were coated on the small form factor optical disk to enhance the head-disk interface(HDI) characteristics. The disk durability properties in terms of HDI phenomena were investigated by drag test. Disks with glass substrates and the lubricant films experienced heat treatment showed more durable characteristics. Coverlayers made of UV resin were uniformly coated by spin coating in which the ski-jump could be removed by adopting outer ring technique

Partial rotor rub occurs when an obstacle on the stator of a rotating machinery disturbs the free whirling motion of the rotor, which is more common than full annular rub among the cases of rubbing in rotating machinery. The intermittent contacts and friction during partial rotor rub makes the phenomenon complex. The several nonlinear phenomena of superharmonics, subharmonics, and jump phenomenon are demonstrated for the partial rub using an experimental apparatus in this study. The orbit patterns are also measured experimentally. In order to explain the phenomena of partial rotor rub, the analytical model for the contact between the rotor and stator should be chosen carefully. In this respect, a piecewise-linear model and a rebound model using the coefficient of restitution are investigated on the basis of the experimental observations. Also, Numerical simulations for the two models of contact are done for the various system parameters of clearance, contact stiffness, and friction coefficient. The results show that the piecewise-linear model for partial rotor rub is more plausible to explain the experimental observgations.

This study presents nonlinear vibration of a cantilever beam subjected to electromagnetic forces. The dynamic responses of the beam show various nonlinear phenomena with the variation of the system parameters, such as the jump phenomenon, multiple solutions, and the movement of the natural frequency. In this study the nonlinear stiffness due to electromagnetic forces which depends on air gap size is measured experimentally, and the system is modeled by a single degree of freedom nonlinear dynamic system and solutions are solved numerically. The numerical results show good agreements with the experimental results, which demonstrate the nonlinearity of electromagnetic force. Finally the occurrences of the jump phenomenon and the first, second and fourth harmonic components are confirmed in using the method of multiple scales.

A numerical analysis is carried out for the nonlinear phenomena of the bubble oscillator. The model is based on the Keller's formulation for the bubble dynamics. Interpretation of the bubble interior is based on the formulation by Prosperetti. His formulation adopts the energy equation for the analysis of the bubble interior. The numerical simulation Shows typical nonlinear phenomena in its frequency response. Among such nonlinear aspects are the jump phenomenon, the shift of natural frequency of the system, and the appearance of superharmonic resonances. It is deduced that the nonlinear frequency response is dependent upon the initial condition of the bubble oscillator and some multi-valued frequency region can appear in the response curve. Nonlinear phenomena appeared in the bubble oscillator is compared with those of the Duffing equation and it may be said that the bubble dynamic equation has similar nonlinear aspects to the Duffing equation.

Concrete structures are generally cracked in flexural tension at working loads. Concrete beams with asymmetric section details and crack patterns exhibit different flexural rigidity depending upon the sense of the applied flexural moment. In this paper, three different models, having the same natural period, of such SDOF bilinear dynamical systems have been proposed. The Model-I and Model-II have constant damping coefficient, but the latter is characterized by two stiffness coefficients depending upon the sense of vibration amplitude. The Model-III, additionally, has two damping coefficients as well. In this paper, the dynamical response of Model-III to sinusoidal loading has been investigated and compared with that of Model-II studied earlier. It has been found that Model-III exhibits regular and irregular sub-harmonics, jump phenomena and strong sensitivity to initial conditions, forcing frequency, system period as well as the sense of peak sinusoidal force. The constant sustained load has been found to affect the natural period of the dynamical system. The predictions of Model-I have been compared with those of the approximate linear model adopted in present practice. The behaviour exhibited by different models of the SDOF cracked elastic concrete structures under working loads and the theoretical and practical implications of the approach followed have been critically evaluated.

The effect of reduction and re-oxidation firing on the PTCR properties of Sm-doped Barium Titanate ceramics was investigated for the application of multilayered PTC thermistor. The lattice parameter a, c decreases monotonically with increasing oxygen concentration in the reoxidation atmosphere, which seems to be related with the electrostatic Coulomb interaction between oxygen vancancy and nearest other atoms. With increasing oxygen concentration, the resistivity at room temperature and the magnitude of resistivity jump as a function of temperature increased in the region of oxygen concentration of 0 $\sim$ 10%. However, the resistivity at room temperature and the magnitude of resistivity jump is nearly constant and saturated in the region of oxygen concentration of 10 $\sim$ 20%. These phenomena is considered to be related with the variation of oxygen and barium-vancany concentration near the grain boundary.

The numerous application of scattered data include the modeling and visualization of physical phenomena. A tetrahedrization is one of pre-processing steps for 4-D surface interpolation. In this paper, various tetrahedrization methods are discussed including, Delaunay, least squares fitting, gradient difference, and jump in normal direction derivatives. This paper discriminates the characteristics of tetrahedrization through visualizing tetrahedral domain. This paper also, provides the tool that can compare and analyze the quality of 4-D space approximation over tetrahedral domain numerically, as well as graphically.

The nonlinear response statistics of an autoparameteric system under broad-band random excitation is investigated. The specific system examined is a vibration absorber system with internal resonance, which is known to be a good model for a variety of engineering systems, including ship motions with nonlinear coupling between pitching and rolling motions. The Fokker-Planck equations is used to generate a general first-order differential equation in the dynamic moment of response coordinates. By means of the Gaussian closure method the dynamic moment equations for the random responses of the system are reduced to a system of autonomous ordinary differential equations. The jump phenomenon was found by Gaussian closure method under random excitation.
