In this study, a vibrating nozzle using the waste vibration energy of the compressor body was installed in the suction flow path to improve the efficiency of the compressor through the pre-compression. To this end, the behavior of the suction valve according to the vibrating nozzle and the mass flow rate of the refrigerant entering the compression chamber were numerically analyzed. The results showed that the mass flow rate increased proportionally as the angle of the vibration nozzle increased. Among the profile shapes of the vibration nozzle, the concave or straight shape showed the highest mass flow rate. Considering the ease of machining, the straight shape is more favorable. On the other hand, as the operating frequency and stroke of the vibration nozzle increased, the mass flow rate also increased proportionally. It can be seen that the largest nozzle angle, operating frequency, and stroke are favorable for pre-compression unless the suction flow is restricted.. In the future, it is necessary to apply the vibrating nozzle system to an actual compressor model to experimentally check the compressor's cooling power, compression work and EER.

Abstract The compressor of a refrigerator accounts for approximately 60-80% of the total energy consumption necessary for the refrigeration cycle. This study investigates the implementation of a pre-compression system featuring a vibrating nozzle, with the goal of enhancing the efficiency of a linear compressor. By utilizing this pre-compression system, the cooling capacity and efficiency of the compressor are expected to improve. The numerical results show that the pre-compression system leads to an improvement of approximately 1.7% in cooling capacity compared to the baseline model. Furthermore, an increase of approximately 0.1 in EER was observed, confirming the feasibility of incorporating a pre-compression system with a vibrating nozzle.

Among the various causes of the vibration problem of the radial sluice gate used in Saemangeum, the effect of flow-induced vibration was studied by the method of computational fluid analysis. In this study, the effect on the flow-induced vibration of the Saemangeum radial sluice gate was evaluated by 2D unsteady flow numerical analysis using ANSYS Fluent. Gate opening cases of 0.2m, 0.3m, 0.4m, 0.5m, and 1.0m were analyzed. As a result, the flow-induced vibration characteristics due to the instability of turbulent flow were observed through FFT analysis. As the gate opening increases, the frequency of the maximum amplitude moves gradually to a lower frequency region with the reduction of the magnitude. Therefore the flow-induced vibration effects can be considered as small with the gate opening increase.

In this study, the seismic safety of nuclear power plant structures is evaluated and verified by performing a vibration test on a relatively simple shear wall structure. The shear walls are the prominent members of nuclear power plants and resist the seismic load. The shear wall structure is designed and manufactured to perform shaking table tests and is used to increase the accuracy of the analytical method by comparing them with the numerical analysis results. Different results will be checked and more efficient application methods will be studied depending on the method of designing reinforced concrete structures.

선박 및 해양구조물과 같은 대형 유한요소모델의 진동 특성을 평가하기 위해 고유치 해석 및 가진 주파수에 따른 응답 계산을 필수적으로 수행해야 한다. 하지만 이러한 해석들은 과도한 전산 장비와 계산 시간이 요구되어 고성능 해석 프로그램의 개발이 필요하다. 특히 선형연립방정식에서 발생하는 역행렬 계산 및 고유치 해석 시에는 상당한 전산 해석 시간이 발생하기 때문에 최신 고성능 라이브러리를 적용함으로써 이를 개선할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 병렬식 선형연립방정식 계산 라이브러리인 PARDISO와 고성능 고유치 해석 라이 브러리인 ARPACK을 적용하여 빠르고 정확한 해석이 가능한 진동해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 끝으로 개발된 해석 프로그램의 정확도와 효율성을 검증하기 위해 여러 선박해양공학 수치 예제를 사용하였고, 상용 유한요소 프로그램인 ABAQUS와의 결과 비교 검토를 통해 개발된 진동해석 프로그램의 신뢰성을 검증, 제시하였다.

A new lighting support structure composing of two-way wires and pulley, a pulley-type wireway system, was developed to improve the seismic performance of a ceiling type lighting equipment. This study verifies the seismic performance of the pulley-type wireway system using a numerical approach. A theoretical model fitted to the physical features of the newly-developed system was proposed, and it was utilized to compute a frictional coefficient between the wire and pulley sections under tension forces. The frictional coefficient was implemented to a finite element model representing the pulley-type wireway system. Using the numerical model, the seismic responses of the pulley-type wireway system were compared to those of the existing lighting support structure, a one-way wire system. The addition of the pulley component resulted in the increasement of energy absorption capacity as well as friction effect and showed in significant reduction in maximum displacement and oscillation after the peak responses. Thus, the newly-developed wireway system can minimize earthquake-induced vibration and damage on electric equipment.

Seismic qualification of instruments and devices mounted on electrical cabinets in a nuclear power plant is performed in this study by means of the in-cabinet response spectrum (ICRS). A simple method and two rigorous methods are proposed in the EPRI NP-7146-SL guidelines for generating the ICRS. The simple method of EPRI can give unrealistic spectra that are excessively conservative in many cases. In the past, the time domain analysis (TDA) methods have been mostly used to analyze a structure. However, the TDA requires the generation of an artificial earthquake input motion compatible to the target response spectrum. The process of generating an artificial earthquake may involve a great deal of uncertainty. In addition, many time history analyses should be performed to increase the accuracy of the results. This study developed a numerical analysis program for generating the ICRS by frequency domain analysis (FDA) method. The developed program was validated by the numerical study. The ICRS calculated by FDA thoroughly matched with those obtained from TDA. This study then confirms that the method it proposes can simply and efficiently generate the ICRS compared to the time domain method.

In this study, the structural stability of an align unit was studied to investigate the deformation and vibration characteristics of the upper and lower modules of the align unit during LCD panel transfer. The align unit consists of upper module and lower module. SolidWorks Simulation was used to analyze the structure, fatigue, and modes, to understand the deformation and vibration of the stiffness of the align unit. Because of the upper eccentric structure of the align unit, the main strain was large at the contact of the upper and lower modules and at the bottom of the support, and more pronounced at it’s front. The stress was large in the front support of the upper and lower modules, and the displacement was observed in the front of the upper module. The minimum life cycle that indicates the structural integrity of the align unit has exceeded its usable number. Also, the increase in natural frequency of the align unit gradually slowed down, as the vibration mode increased.

The study conducted finite element analysis in advance to understand the natural frequency, con-ducted static structural analysis and analyzed stress behavior occurring on the boundary of wheel and rail when passing the straight line and curve line. According to the FEA, the wheel had natural frequency of 1st mode 238.4Hz to 10th mode 1,320Hz, and the rail had natural frequency of 457.4Hz to 619.7Hz. When looking at the correlated frequency range, the natural frequency of 4th~6th mode of wheel and 3rd~9th mode of rail track were correlated. As for the result of stress behavior translation occurring on the boundary of wheel and track, it was 53.4MPa when passing the curve line, which was 16MPa higher than when passing the straight line.

In this study, the fatigue and vibration analysis were performed by using Solidworks program to investigate the damage percentage, life cycle and vibration mode depending on the types and positions of load applied to the table (Cases 1, 2, 3, 4). The farther the point of action of the load was, the more the fatigue damage and stability of the table were greatly reduced. The life cycles of Case 1 and 4 were over 100,000 cycles and the fatigue damage was less than 70%. From the vibration analysis, five modes and natural frequencies of Case 1 were confirmed. As the natural frequency increases, the shape of the corresponding mode is predicted not to be deformed.
