Abstract This paper refers to mathematical tuning, by the sinusoidal steady-state transfer function method, of an adjustable hydraulic rear engine mount for reduction of perceived vibration during engine idle situations. The problem being addressed, in particular, is the reduction of “idle shake”. The accuracy of this method is confirmed by individual component testing along with in situ vibration measurements. During this work, a general approach to transfer function calculation is given by evaluating the system components with the linear-graph system of modeling. This is complemented by component verification and curve-fitting to arrive at the final transfer function which reveals the inherent tendencies of the overall system. Secondary measurements are then employed to rectify the contradiction between mathematical values and subjective results.

An efficient automated milk detector based on freezing point depression is designed. This detector shares characters of high efficiency and good stability with accuracy and automation. Its main parts include temperature sensor of IC (Integrated Circuit), pinion-rack mechanism and crank-rocker mechanism and electronic control system. Monitoring in-situ change of milk freezing curve and developing efficiency of sampling can be available by means of pinion-rack mechanism and IC temperature sensor mechatronics design. As a result, adulterating status of milk can be discriminated in a rapid and accurate and automated way. The detector may be employed to detect liquid foods other than milk as well.

Dynamic characteristics of a prototype active engine mount (AEM), designed on the basis of a hydraulic engine mount, have been investigated and an adaptive controller for the AEM has been designed. An equivalent mass-spring-damper AEM model is proposed, and the transfer function that describes the dynamic characteristics of the AEM is deduced from mathematical analysis of the model. The damping coefficient of the model is derived by considering the non-linear flow effect in the inertia track. Experiments confirmed that the model precisely describes the dynamic characteristics of the AEM. An adaptive controller using the filtered-X LMS algorithm is designed to cancel the force transmitted through the AEM. The stability of the LMS algorithm is guaranteed by using the secondary path transfer function derived on the basis of the dynamic model of the AEM. The performance test in the laboratory shows that the AEM system is capable of significantly reducing the force transmitted through the AEM.

Vehicle Dynamic Model

In order to reduce the shock and vibration caused by torque disturbance of the gearbox in vehicles equipped with automatic transmission in the process of in situ shift, a novel semi-active hydraulic damping strut is introduced in the powertrain mounting system. The dynamic response evaluation indexes of vehicle in situ shift are put forward, and a 13-degree of freedom vehicle dynamic model including the semi-active hydraulic damping strut is established. The optimized dynamic characteristic parameters are acquired according to the principle of sharing force and the 13-degree of freedom vehicle dynamic model. The dynamic response evaluation indexes with and without the semi-active hydraulic damping strut are calculated using the 13-degree of freedom vehicle dynamic model in the process of in situ shift, and the calculation results show that the vibration of a vehicle can be reduced by the introduction of a semi-active hydraulic damping strut. Experiments are carried out to analyze the vibration response of the vehicle with and without a semi-active hydraulic damping strut, and the results show that the shock and vibration of the vehicle are reduced by introducing the semi-active hydraulic damping strut. The theoretical calculation values of active-side acceleration of the engine mount and torque strut are consistent with the experimental values, which show that the 13-degree of freedom vehicle dynamic model is reasonable.

Random Decrement Method

This paper presents a modified random decrement method to obtain the steady-state response of vibration system. The expressions are deduced. Two numerical simulations and verification are given. The efficiencies of the modified method and the conventional process are compared. It is shown that the method is more efficient than the conventional process to diminish the influence of the initial excitation on the transfer function calculation of the vibration system.

We developed a new method for isolating in situ baroreceptor regions of the rabbit aortic depressor nerve (ADN) and estimated the transfer function from pressure to afferent nerve activity in the frequency range of 0.01–5 Hz by a white noise technique. Complete isolation of the baroreceptor area of the right ADN was made in situ by ligation of the innominate artery and the right subclavian and common carotid arteries. We altered the pressure in the isolated baroreceptor area according to a binary quasi-white noise between 80 and 100 mmHg in 12 urethan-anesthetized rabbits. The gain increased two to three times as the frequency of pressure perturbation increased from 0.01 to 2 Hz and then decreased at higher frequencies. The phase slightly led below 0.2 Hz. The squared coherence value was >0.8 in the frequency range of 0.01–4 Hz. The step responses estimated from the transfer function were indistinguishable from those actually observed. We conclude that the baroreceptor transduction of the ADN is governed by linear dynamics under the physiological operating pressure range.

Experimental modal testing using an impact hammer is a commonly used method for obtaining the modal parameters of any structure for which the vibrational behavior is of interest. Natural frequencies and associated mode shapes of the structure can be extracted directly from measured FRFs (Frequency Response Functions) through various curve fitting procedures. This paper provides an overview of the modal testing conducted on an aerospace component. Testing set-up, experimental equipment and the methodology employed are all described in detail. Further validation of the testing procedure was done by ensuring that the experimental results satisfy the requirements of repeatability, reciprocity and linearity. The relevant ISO standard has been referenced and important concepts to modal analysis are expanded upon. Recorded natural frequencies, coherence and a description of the observed mode shapes are presented along with notable trends.
