Magnetic flywheel system utilizes a magnetic bearing, which is able to support the shaft without mechanical contacts, and also it is able to control rotational vibration. Magnetic flywheel system is composed of position sensors, a digital controller, actuating amplifiers, an electromagnet and a flywheel. This work applies the neuro-fuzzy control algorithm to control the vibration of a magnetic flywheel system. It proposes the design skill of an optimal controller when the system has structured uncertainty and unstructured uncertainty, i.e. it has a difficulty in extracting the exact mathematical model. Inhibitory action of vibration was verified at the specified rotating speed. Unbalance response, a serious problem in rotating machinery, is improved by using a magnetic bearing with neuro-fuzzy algorithm.

By using the hollow shaft with $0.5^{\circ}$ internal taper, ball valve and rubber packing, charging the working fluid at engineering vacuum degree (vacuum pressure higher than 1 torr) and carrying out experiments, it was investigated the performance of rotating heat pipe with variant operating conditions. In this experiment, it was shown that it is impossible the internal liquid flow was laminar film flow which agree with the assumption of present theoretical analyses, but the internal vorticity makes the heat transfer increase and for the maximum heat transfer there is optimal mass loading for the given heat pipe geometry and operational conditions.

The helical pile is a manufactured steel pile consisting of one or more helix-shaped bearing plates affixed to a central shaft. This pile is installed by rotating the shaft into the ground to support structural loads. The advantages of helical piles are no need for boring or grout process, and ability to install with relatively light devices. The bearing capacity of the helical pile is exerted by integrating the bearing capacity of each helix plate attached to the steel shaft. In this paper, to estimate the bearing capacity of moderate-size helical piles, 6 types of helical piles were constructed with different shaft diameter, plate configuration and the penetration depth. A series of field loading tests was performed to evaluate the effect of helical pile configuration on the bearing capacity of helical pile, constructed in two different shaft diameters (i.e. 73 mm and 114 mm). In the same way, the diameter of bearing plate was also changed from 400mm to 250mm with one or three plates. As well, the penetration depth was varied from 3m to 6m to analyze the relation between the penetration depth and the bearing capacity. As a result, not only the increase of the shaft diameter, but also the number or diameter of helix bearing plates enhances the bearing capacity. Especially the configuration of the helix plate is more critical than the shaft diameter.

Tilting pad journal bearings(TPJBs) are widely used for high speed rotating machinery owing to their rotordynamic stability and thermal management feature. With increase in the rotating speed of such machinery, an increasingly important aspect of TPJB design is the prediction of their thermal behaviors. Researchers have conducted detailed investigations in the last two decades, which provided design tools for the TPJBs. Based on these previous studies, this paper presents a thermohydrodynamic(THD) analysis model for TPJBs. To calculate pressure distribution, we solve the generalized Reynolds equation and to predict the lubricant temperature, we solve the 3D energy equation. We employ the oil mixing theory to calculate pad inlet temperature; further, to consider heat conduction via the pad, we solve the heat conduction equation for the pads. We assume the shaft temperature as the averaged oil film temperature and apply natural convection boundary conditions to the pad side and back surfaces. To validate the analysis model, we compare the predicted pad temperatures with those from previous research. The results show good agreement with previous research. In addition, we conduct parametric studies on a TPJB which was used in a gas turbine simulator system. The predicted results show that film temperature largely depends on the rotating speed and oil supply condition.

This paper introduces the mechanism of the ESD (Electrostatic discharge) in the HDD spindle system using FDBs (Fluid Dynamic Bearings). When a HDD (Hard Disk Drive) spindle system is rotating, triboelectric charging occurs in the FDBs through the friction of the lubricant between the rotating shaft and stationary sleeve. And this electrostatic charge is accumulated in the rotating part of the HDD spindle system because it is insulated from the ground by the lubricant. This research shows experimentally that the behavior of electric charge and discharge in the FDB spindle system is the same as that of a capacitor. It also measures the electrostatic charge and discharge of the FDB spindle system due to the chanse of humidity, supporting load and motor speed. This research shows that the control of ESD is required in the HDD spindle system using FDBs, because the electrostatic charge accumulated in the FDB spindle system may cause the breakdown damage of the GMR head and data loss consequently.

Magnetic bearing system is frequently used for high-speed rotating machines because of its frictionless property. But the magnetic bearing system needs feedback controller for stabilization. This paper presents a robust controller design by using linear matrix inequality for magnetic bearing system which shows the control performance and robust stability under the physical parameter perturbations. To the end, the validity of the designed controller is investigated through computer simulation.

Natural vibration of the rotor system having multi-step cross-sections is analyzed. The rotary inertia and the shear deformation are considered. Torque is also included in order to simulate the power transmission system. The complex displacement and the variable separation are introduced. The exact solutions in uniform cross-section segment and the boundary conditions are used. Natural frequencies and mode shapes are obtained, especially the mode shapes are countinuous.

This paper presents the magnetic flux distributions of a ferrofluid seal at the sealing gap between the pole pieces and the rotating shaft. The optimized shape of pole pieces has been determined by using the computer simulations. The computed results indicate that the sloped pole piece of 27$^{\circ}$ shows good flux distributions compared with that of the conventional flat pole pieces and may reduce frictional heats due to a reduced surface contact areas of magnetic fluids.

To get accurate vibration analysis of rotor-bearing systems, finite element models of high speed rotating shaft, unbalance disk, and fluid film journal bearing are developed. The study includes the effects of rotary inertia, gyroscopic moment, damping, shear deformation, and axial torque in the same model. It does not include the axial force effect, but the extension is straighforward. The finite elements developed can be used in the analysis design of any type of multiple rotor bearing system. To show the accuracy of the models, numerical examples are demonstrated.
