In diesel engines, it is inevitable that the torsional vibration is produced by the fluctuation of engine torque. Therefore, it is necessary to establish preventive measures to diminish the torsional vibration. The sleeve spring type damper is one of the preventive measures for reducing the torsional vibration. In this study, the closed form equations to predict the spring constant of a sleeve spring and the torsional characteristics of the torsional vibration damper are proposed to calculate stiffness of the damper and verified their availability through the finite element analysis and experiments. And the stability of the sleeve spring torsional vibration damper is verified by analyzing the inner star and outer star, which are the core parts of the damper, and 2-roll bending process is proposed to manufacture sleeve spring. The program to calculate the initial radius including spring-back effect is developed, and the FEA method to analyze elasto-plastic problem was verified through analysis of 90$^{\circ}$bending process. The results of the analysis are in good agreements with those of the experiments. The newly proposed method can be used as an advanced technique that remarkably curtails cost of production and replaces the conventional forming.

The theoretical values have a good agreement with the results obtained by the finite element analysis. The results obtained from the equation derived enable the designers in actual fields to be more efficient.

The input torque ripple induced by combustion engines is a significant source of NVH(noise, vibration and harshness) problem in automotive transmissions. Because this torque fluctuation is primarily transmitted to the input shaft of automotive powertrains(e.g., automatic transmissions) when the lock-up clutches are closed, a torsional damper with helical springs is generally inserted between engine and transmissions to isolate the input vibratory energy, which is essential for the passenger comfort. The torsional vibration isolator exhibits frequency ranges in which there is low vibration transmissibility. However, the isolation performance is currently evaluated through the static torsional spring characteristics. In this study, the transmissibility of torsional spring dampers, essential dynamic performance index for vibration isolator, is first experimentally evaluated.

Radial Dual Mass Flywheel(RDMF) is designed to reduce torsional vibration and noise occurring in automotive powertrain. In this paper, finite element method is used to evaluate stress level and critical area of the torsional spring box, a major part of RDNF system. In finite element analysis, both static and dynamic loadings are considered and it is found that the most critical spot is the welded zone of spring box. Also, fatigue test is performed and fractured surfaces are examined to find fatigue stress level by experiment.

Conditions of stiffness for a steel spring torsional vibration damper are difficult and ambiguous. Nevertheless correct estimation of stiffness is essential and important in the damper design for the damper to activate properly in the field. In this paper, to build up the estimation method of steel spring torsional vibration damper a miniaturized model was developed for modelling between a spring and inner star of the damper. The method obtained from the results through the experiment and analysis of it was applied to the prototype torsional damper.

This paper deals with a development of 2-DOF flutter experiment equipment which represents a 2-DOF typical section model. For a conventional 2-DOF flutter experiment equipment, it is hard to observe flutter boundary clearly due to the complexity of the experiment equipment. To refine our flutter experiment equipment system, a compliant mechanism based torsional spring is used. Well-designed extruded aluminum pipe works as a torsional spring. SolidWorks and ANSYS are used for modeling, analysis and design of the torsional spring. With this designed torsional spring, the 2-DOF flutter experiment equipment is developed and wind tunnel tests are performed. Clear flutter boundary which is estimated by classical flutter analysis is observed in the experiments.

Built-in Eccentric Bearing-Torsional Spring (BEBTS) type Automatic Belt Tension Unit (ABTU) is one of typical belt tension units. The BEBTS type ABTU system frequently experiences torsional vibration about its pivot due to the variation of belt tension. However, it is very difficult to analyze the rotational (or torsional) vibration of the ABTU because the exciting moment varies according to the change of belt tension. To get over this difficulty, in this paper. the ABTU was simplified as 1-DOF translational motion model in the tangential direction. Its equation of motion was derived and solved. The time history and frequency responses were computed and examined for three of BEBTS type ABTUs which are made by different manufacturers but the tame kind.

Design routines of a torsional spring-viscous damper for a 1800 kW four cycle diesel engine-generator system are described. Modal techniques for system normalization and optimal equations for damper design are used to obtain proper design parameters of the damper. A prototype damper is manufactured according to the described design process and its two design parameters, stiffness and damping, are evaluated experimentally by torsional actuator test and free decay test. Experimentally obtained values of stiffness and damping coefficients showed good agreements with the designed values of the prototype damper.
