In this work, each rail bracket is adjusted so that the cutting edge of the rail is in the specified horizontal position with respect to the piano wire. However, since the rail is bent at the joint, irregularities remain even if the brackets are lined up in a straight line. Such a method cannot suppress the lateral vibration of the car and may worsen it. In this research, we proposed a method of optimizing the rail shape to minimize the vibration of the car based on a rail behavior model in that adjustment process and a car vibration model. The effect was verified in an experiment using an actual elevator. In the elevator system, large vibration had been occurred because the periodic excitation force determined by the running speed and rail bending period matched the natural frequency of the car. By adjusting the rails based on proposed method, we avoided resonance and reduced lateral vibration by 37%. This verification showed that the use of the proposed method enabled significant vibration reduction in a short period of time.","PeriodicalId":485601,"journal":{"name":"Nihon kikai gakkai ronbunshu","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136207891","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}

However, the effects of such sterilization are not sufficiently understood. In this study, variations in the strength and color values of plush fabrics were measured and quantitatively evaluated following 50 cycles of sterilization by ethylene oxide gas (EOG). The fabrics were composed of boa fabric, which is commonly used in mascot suits and plush dolls, and cloth reinforced with polyurethane foam. The tensile strength and the elongation were measured by the tensile strength test for clothes or clothing seams, in accordance with the standard JISL1096. In terms of appearance, red-green-blue (RGB) color values were obtained from photographs taken under the same light conditions to evaluate the color tone. A friction test was used to evaluate the tactile sensation. These results showed that EOG sterilization did not notably affect the properties of the fabrics; however, a single cycle of autoclave sterilization degraded the fabrics. Notably, the boa fabric shrunk and hardened. Thus, EOG sterilization, which does not feature elevated temperatures, may be an effective sterilization approach for these materials.","PeriodicalId":485601,"journal":{"name":"Nihon kikai gakkai ronbunshu","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135448050","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}

Authors have developed a meso-scale based methodology for precise prediction of the burst pressure of Type 4 hydrogen tank, where carbon fiber bundles and matrix resin are perfectly distinguished for modeling. We investigate resin fracture model for the improvement of burst pressure prediction initiated by the rupture in the vicinity of metallic boss, assuming the reinforcement by means of Automated CFRP Tape Placement to realize ultimately light design of the tank.

Any failure of the overhead catenary system or pantographs will raise the long downtime of railway operation. Therefore, condition monitoring methods of pantograph failure is required with the overhead catenary system. Furthermore, wear mechanism of contact wire has not been clarified yet due to its complex kinematics between contact wire and pantographs. For preventing these failure efficiently and finding out the wear mechanism of contact wire, the authors have developed a method to measure contact forces of all pantographs during trains passing on sections with sensors installed on the catenary. In the developed method, the contact forces are measured from the sum of dropper forces, inertia force of the contact wire and vertical components of the tensile force of contact wire in measurement section. However, some difficult issues have been left in the method measuring the inertial force from contact wire acceleration at some measurement points. This paper proposes a method selecting effective measurement points of contact wire acceleration. LASSO regression, which is known as one of the sparse modelling technique, is applied to the proposed method so that suitable acceleration measuring points are selected to measure inertia force. The results obtained by the proposed method are shown using dynamic simulation data. It also reports that the proposed method is effective even when the measurement frequency is changed.","PeriodicalId":485601,"journal":{"name":"Nihon kikai gakkai ronbunshu","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135262043","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}

Reduction rates of the rigidity become large when the end-milling operations have large cutting stock such as carve out machining.

This research deals with transitional workpiece deformations considering workpiece rigidity reduction. At first, measured results of clamping force reduction during machining operations are investigated. Secondly, measured workpiece profiles during machining operations are investigated.

This study aims to develop knowledge that will contribute to the design of lattice structures with tailored and desired mechanical properties. Among the many unit cell topologies in the lattice structures that have been designed in numerous studies, there are several basic structures and a variety of additional structures that were derived from these basic structures. However, there is a degree of ambiguity as to which of these structures should be regarded as the basic structures. In this study, the basic structures of a lattice structure with orthogonal symmetry were derived by determining the edges of the struts using a mathematical combination approach. Then, the deformation characteristics of them were evaluated through elasto-plastic finite element analysis. Five basic structures were determined by designing the unit cell of the lattice structure such that the struts pass through the vertices, the midpoints of the edges, and the centers of the faces in the cubic design region. It was found that structures with the same strut directions in their unit cells have similar stiffness distributions, and the basic structures obtained can be classified accordingly into three types. Finite element analysis of the compression of a micro-lattice structure composed of these basic structures confirmed that different deformation characteristics appeared during plastic collapse for each type of classified basic structure, and that the strut deformation type determined the overall deformation characteristics. Evaluation of the stiffness and the plastic collapse stress showed that with stretch-dominant strut deformation, lattice structures can be made lighter in weight while still maintaining some stiffness and some plastic collapse stress.","PeriodicalId":485601,"journal":{"name":"Nihon kikai gakkai ronbunshu","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135505128","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}

First, macroscopic stress-strain curves are obtained from numerical material tests (NMTs) conducted on a unit cell model, i.e., a representative volume element of periodic microstructures, to which uniaxial and combined stress states are applied under various conditions of stress ratios and stress paths. Using the obtained NMTs results, the initial shape of the yield surface and its evolution are investigated in detail. The results suggest that even if a resin has isotopic hardening characteristics, UD-CFRTP exhibits complex anisotropic post-yielding or, equivalently, hardening behavior. Then, a constitutive model that can describe such material behavior is originally formulated, and a step-wise identification strategy is presented to determine the material parameters. Finally, by carrying out verification analyses, we confirmed that the macroscopic stress-strain curves represented by the proposed model can be fitted to those obtained by NMTs with sufficient accuracy for practical use and that the performance of the proposed model is much better than that of a conventional constitutive law.","PeriodicalId":485601,"journal":{"name":"Nihon kikai gakkai ronbunshu","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135267140","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}

Experiments were carried out on a pole mounted switchgears with load currents of 600 A and 800 A, and the heat transfer phenomenon was evaluated from the surface temperature of the iron arc splitter plate measured with a radiation thermometer. From the analysis results, it was found that the plate was cooled by forced convection due to the expansion of the air due to the arc for about 5 s after arc interruption, and then cooled by natural convection. Immediately after the start of the experiment (about 600 s from the start), the effect of the arc on the air is large, and the ratio of cooling by forced convection to total cooling amount is about 0.5 to 0.75. When the melting area of the iron arc splitter plate increases, the ratio of heat transfer rate by forced convection becomes about 0.3 to 0.55. In addition, after the experiment with a load current of 800 A, it was confirmed that the iron arc splitter plate melted and melted down over a wide area. It is thought that at a load current of 600 A, the melting area of the iron arc splitter plate was small enough to melt down, but at 800 A, when the arc energy increased, the melting area of the iron arc splitter plate increased and melted down.
