  • This is a paper intended for initial stage of vehicle modeling and design. The needs to determine a variety of vehicle suspension parameters required for initial design has been difficult and time-consuming task. In order to facilitate a concise and efficient presentation of initial vehicle design procedure, this paper uses a mathematical model and physical geometry. Vehicle model consists of dimensions, inertias and mechanical constants. These vehicle model parameters divided into several categories : basic parameters, coefficients and constants, design specification, spring and damper, bush stiffness, stabilizer bar, suspension geometry, tire, and vehicle weights of various design condition. This paper uses a vehicle design fundamental (VDF) program running under Windows 95 graphical interface. The features of VDF will be briefly outlined in this paper.

  • Because of their superior mechanical properties to isotropic materials, composite laminated plates are used for many structural applications that require high stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios. Composite materials are always subject to a certain amount of scatter in their elastic moduli, but most analyses and designs with the materials are usually conducted by assuming that the material properties are fixed and have no uncertainties. In this paper, a convex modeling approach is introduced to take account of such uncertainties in elastic moduli. It is used with the finite element method to predict the onset of failures in composite laminated plates subject to in-plane loading. Numerical results show that failures begin at the smaller load when the uncertainties of elastic moduli considered and therefore, such uncertainties should be considered at the design stage for the safety and reliability of the structures.

  • A novel locomotion using the pneumatic impulsive actuator was proposed for robotic colonoscope. This locomotion showed good moving performance in the environment of rigid pipe, however, the displacement per one impact(step displacement) is greatly reduced due to the low stiffness and high damping characteristics of the colon. Therefore, the modeling technique based on spring and damping system is studied to predict the step displacement and some parametric studies are carried out to investigate main parameters that influence the step displacement of locomotion. Based on simulation result, a new locomotion to control the resistance force is suggested and fabricated. Through the experiment on the colon, the usefulness of modeling technique is confirmed and successful improvement of moving characteristics is achieved.

  • This article provides a dynamic modeling methodology of engines to be accurate with a small number of degrees of freedom for an active vibration control using a top bracing. First. a finite element (FE) model for the engine structure is constructed so that the size of model is as small as possible where the dynamic characteristics of engine are ensured. Second. a technique is studied to obtain the exact mass and stiffness matrices of the FE model. The size of matrices from the FE model is still too large to apply. Finally, a model reduction is. therefore. conducted to make an appropriate dynamic model for designing and simulating a top bracing. In this article, a dynamic model of a large 9 cylinder engine is constructed and reviewed by comparing its natural frequencies and steady state reponses with those of experimental data provided by manufacturer.

  • In this paper, we propose a new motion control technology to design robust control system of industrial robot. The system modeling of robotic manipulation tasks with constraints is presented, and the control architecture for unconstrained and constrained motion system with parametric uncertainties is synthesized. The optimal reference of robot manipulator is generated by the reference controller as a discrete state system and the control behavior of constrained system which has poor modeling information and time-invariant constraint function is improved motion control system is successfully evaluated by experiment to the desired tasks.

  • In substitution of beam-nonlinear spring model for real-car, it may have errors due to complicated characteristics of joint and overestimation of joints stiffness. In this research, a method for the joint modeling was suggested by nonlinear static and dynamic analyses of beam and shell joint models and verified by the application of accomplished joint modeling method to simplified full car model. In consequence, modified simplified full car model was improved in local acceleration and rigid wall force. Finally, the frontal crash analyses with the dummy were established and the accelerations of accelerations of head, chest and pelvis had good agreements with those of shell model.

  • Wind turbine industry is booming and spending a lot on research for improving the performance of its present machines and increasing their capacity. Wind turbine requires service life of about 20 years and each components of wind turbine requires high durability, because installation and maintenance costs are more expensive than generated electricity by wind-turbine. So the design of wind turbine must be verified in various condition before production step. For this work, high reliability model for analysis is required. Drivetrain model is modeled by multibody dynamic modeling method. The model constituted with rotor blades, hub, main shaft, gear box, high speed shaft and generator. Natural frequency and torsional stiffness of drivetrain are calculated and analyzed.

  • This paper presents the dynamic analysis of a cantilever beam undertaking impulsive force that undergoes rigid body motion. The transient response of the beam induced by the impulsive force and the rigid body motion is calculated based on hybrid deformation variable modeling method by applying the Rayleigh-Ritz assumed mode method. The stiffness variation effect caused by the rigid body motion is considered in this modeling. The effects of the impulsive force position and the angular velocity on the transient responses of the beam are investigated through numerical studies.

  • A modeling method for the modal and the transient vibration analysis of a multi-packet blade system excited by nozzle jet forces is presented in this paper. Blades are idealized as cantilever beams and the elastic structures like disc and shroud connecting blades are modeled as coupling stiffnesses. A modified Campbell diagram is proposed to identify true resonance frequencies of the multi-packet blade system. Different from the SAFE diagram that employs three dimensional space, the modified Campbell diagram proposed in this study employs a plane to find the true resonance frequencies. To verify the existence of true resonance frequencies, nozzle jet forces are modeled as periodic forces and transient vibration analysis were performed with the modeling method.

  • Spring constants (displacement per unit applied load) of MEMS socket pins of given structures were computed by theoretical analysis and confirmed by the finite element method (FEM). In the theoretical analysis, the displacement of pins was calculated based on the 2-dimensional bending theory of the curved beam. For the 3-dimensional modeling, CATIA was used. After modeling, the raw data were transferred to ANSYS, which was employed in the 3-dimensional analysis for the calculation of the stress and strain and loaddisplacement The theoretical analysis and the FEM results were found to agree, with each showing the spring constants as 63.4 N/m within a reasonable load range. These results show that spring constants can be easily obtained through theoretical calculation without resorting to experiments and FEM analysis for simple and symmetric structures. For the some change of shape and structural stiffness, this theoretical analysis can be applied to MEMS socket pins.
