The link r2 of the press mechanism and the link r2' of the balancer mechanism are both driven by an identical input with constant angu1ar velocity. Ihus, two reciprocating motions of the sliders would go in opposite directionssimultaneously. INTRODUCTION The pTess operating speed is increasing for providing more eencient production capability. At high operating speeds, ranged ever 500 2000 SPM (stroke per minutes), mechanical presses exhibit dynarnic effects which may induce vibration and noise. For rnaintaining the relial)le performance and high productivity of high-speed press, the dynamic effects must be seriously coped with, i.e., an app]icahle dynamic balancing strategy is necessary. flie unbalancing of press mechanisms is categorized in reciprocating-type unbalancing since the ram keeps periodically upward/downward motion. A conyentional strategy for press balancing is applying a linkage balancer mechanism, Such linkage balancer is often a four-bar slider driven by a crank or a rocker, The reciprocating motion of the linkage balancer simply provides shaking forces opposite to the dynarnic unbalance of the press rnechanism. Based on our previous study [1], a well-designed slider crank balancer could effectively lessen the eritical shaking forces down to 5%.

Therefore, the development of a safe and sanitary method of preventing a corrosion and blockage inside pipes is desired. In this study, a vibration system, composed of a bolt-clamped Langevin transducer and a pipe, was employed to experimentally study the possibility of fouling removal. In the experiment, a flexural vibration was excited in a pipe containing fouling using ultrasonic waves. When the pipe was made to vibrate, with calcium carbonate or starch used as the fouling, it was shown that the fouling was di ff used into the air, and except at the node of the flexural vibration, the fouling was removed completely. Also, the result showed that a higher input voltage to the transducer was more e ff ective in removing the fouling.","PeriodicalId":151961,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series C-mechanical Systems Machine Elements and Manufacturing","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124776439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vibration signals and stator current signals are measured as the fault diagnosis media. Many sensors result in many features to ANN. In order to avoid the curse of dimensionality phenomenon and improve the classification rate, PCA and GA are employed to reduce the feature dimensionality of the measured data. PCA removes the relative features. Then the irrelative features after PCA are selected by GA to find better feature subset as inputs to the network under a few population and generations. GA is also used to optimize the ANN structure in that the selected PCs feature subset is evaluated by it. The efficiency of the proposed system is validated by comparison of other three systems: ANN only, ANN with PCA and ANN with GA. The classification success rate for the ANN with PCA and GA was 100% for validation, while the rates of ANN only, ANN with PCA and ANN with GA were 83.33%, 86.67% and 98.89%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":151961,"journal":{"name":"Jsme International Journal Series C-mechanical Systems Machine Elements and Manufacturing","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130271173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A dynamic characterization testing and finite-element analysis of the exhaust hangers were carried out to clarify the frequency responses of dynamic stiffness in the high-frequency range. A method of treating the viscoelasticity of the rubber material using the finite-element method is proposed to predict the dynamic characteristics of the exhaust hangers. The finite-element method results show a good agreement with the experimental results for the frequency response of dynamic stiffness.

It was found in the acoustic tests that the coating successfully reduces the sound pressure in the frequency range critical from the aspect of human audition. The wind tunnel experiments included laser Doppler anemometer studies on the development of the boundary layers and on the wake structure, and static pressure measurements on the blade surface and in the wake.
