The operational reliability of a rotary equipment train is dependent on the vibration of its components. All rotating machines experience some degree of vibration during all phases of operation. Often, the only evidence of this vibration is gear noise or coupling wear. However, these early indicators of vibration might eventually develop into high-amplitude vibration, resulting in gear wear, gear tooth failures, or broken shafts. The torsional response characteristics of rotating and reciprocating equipment should therefore be analyzed and evaluated to ensure system reliability. In vibration analysis of mechanical structures, it has become increasingly common to use lumped mass models combined with experimental measurements for vibration analysis. This approach can be expanded to develop more sophisticated models to allow the creation of a highly refined, realistic vibration analysis environment. This article illustrates the latter approach, using the advanced system-level modeling and simulation platform MapleSim™, from Maplesoft, as the modeling and analysis tool.

Analysis of the Relationship between Noise Emission and In-Cylinder Pressure in a Small Displacement Diesel Engine
Technical Paper
Abstract Many studies have demonstrated that an efficient control of the combustion process is crucial in order to comply with increasingly emerging Diesel emission standards and demanding for reduced fuel consumption. Methodologies based on real-time techniques are imperative and even if newly sensors will be available in the near future for on-board installation inside the cylinder, non intrusive measurements are still considered very attractive. This paper presents an experimental activity devoted to analyze the noise emission from a small displacement two-cylinder Diesel engine equipped by HPCR (high pressure common rail) fuel injection system. The signals acquired during stationary operation of the engine are analyzed and processed in order to highlight the different sources contributing to the overall emission. Particular attention is devoted to the specific samples of the signal that are mainly caused by the combustion process in order to extract the combustion contribution.
Technical Paper
Abstract When fuel is vaporized and mixed well with air in the cylinder of premixed diesel engines, the mixture auto-ignites in one burst resulting in strong combustion noise, and combustion noise reduction is necessary to achieve high load premixed diesel engine operation. In this paper, an engine noise analysis was conducted by engine tests and simulations. The engine employed in the experiments was a supercharged single cylinder DI diesel engine with a high pressure common rail fuel injection system. The engine noise was sampled by two microphones and the sampled engine noise was averaged and analyzed by an FFT sound analyzer. The engine was equipped with a pressure transducer and the combustion noise was calculated from the power spectrum of the FFT analysis of the in-cylinder pressure wave data from the cross power spectrum of the sound pressure of the engine noise.
Technical Paper
Abstract There is significant motivation to extend the operating range of naturally aspirated HCCI combustion to high load (8-12 bar IMEP) to attain a combustion strategy with the efficiency benefits of HCCI but without the lost power density of a lean or highly diluted charge. Currently, the high-load limit of HCCI combustion is imposed by a phenomenon commonly known as ringing. Ringing results when the kinetically-driven autoignited combustion process proceeds in such a way as to form strong pressure waves which reverberate in the engine. Inhomogeneities and gradients in mixture reactivity lead certain regions to react ahead of others, and as a result, coupling can occur between a pressure wave and the reaction front. This paper seeks first to sort several related but distinct issues that impose the high load limit: ringing, engine damage, peak in-cylinder pressure, peak rate of pressure rise, and engine noise.
Journal Article
This article presents an investigation of the sources combustion-generated noise and its measurement in HCCI engines. Two cylinder-pressure derived parameters, the Combustion Noise Level (CNL) and the Ringing Intensity (RI), that are commonly used to establish limits of acceptable operation are compared along with spectral analyses of the pressure traces. This study focuses on explaining the differences between these two parameters and on investigating the sensitivity of the CNL to the ringing/knock phenomenon, to which the human ear is quite sensitive. Then, the effects of independently varying engine operating conditions such as fueling rate, boost pressure, and speed on both the CNL and RI are studied. Results show that the CNL is not significantly affected by the high-frequency components related to the ringing/knock phenomenon.
Technical Paper
Abstract Light weighting is a critical objective in the automotive industry to improve fuel efficiency. But when redesigning parts for light weight, by changing from metal to plastic, the resulting design gives NVH issues due to differences in part mass and material stiffness. Many parts were not converted from metal to plastic because of NVH issues that could not be solved. Many engine parts such as cylinder head cover, air intake manifold, oil pan and etc. previously made of metal have since long been replaced with plastic. But timing chain cover has not been replaced because of the aforementioned issue. Sealing performance due to the dynamic characteristics of the application is another challenging factor. In this paper, the key aspects of the plastic timing chain cover as well as its advantage are presented.
Technical Paper
Abstract The main contribution of this paper is to employ a sound and vibration theory in order to develop a light and cost effective plastic intercooler pipe. The intercooler pipe was composed of two rubber hoses and one aluminum pipe mounted between an ACV (Air Control Valve) and an intercooler outlet. The engineering design concept is to incorporate low-vibration type bellows and an impedance-mismatched center pipe, which replaces the rubber hoses and aluminum pipe respectively. The bellows were designed to adapt powertrain movement for high vibration transmission loss to the intercooler outlet. Also, the impedance-mismatched center pipe was implemented to increase reflected wave by using relatively higher modulus than bellows part and applying a SeCo (Sequential Coextrusion) processing method.
An Initial Analysis on Sound Insulation Behavior of a Rubber Pipe between Turbocharger Compressor Outlet and Intercooler
Technical Paper
Abstract Subject to excitations from pressure pulsations in boost air, the rubber pipe connecting the turbo compressor outlet and the intercooler of an engine vibrates structurally and radiates noise. If the pipe is improperly selected, the resulted vibration may be strong enough to radiate noise which is sufficient to damage the sound quality of the vehicle. This paper presents an initial analysis on this issue. First, formulae are derived for predicting vibration and sound radiation of the pipe for a given pressure pulsation, resulting in sound transmission index for the pipe to quantify its sound insulation behavior. Then effects on the sound transmission index are investigated for pipe parameters such as pipe wall thickness, Young's modulus and density of pipe material.
Technical Paper
Abstract It is common knowledge that body structure is an important factor of road noise performance. Thus, a high stiffness of body system is required, and determining their optimized stiffness and structure is necessary. Therefore, a method for improving body stiffness and validating the relationship between stiffness and road noise through CAE and experimental trials was tested. Furthermore, a guideline for optimizing body structure for road noise performance was suggested.
Journal Article
Aiming at the abnormal vibration of driver seat of a passenger car in idle condition, vibration acceleration of engine, frame and seat rail was tested to identify vibration sources. Order tracking and spectrogram analysis indicated that the second order self-excitation of engine was the main cause. To solve the problem, semi-active controlled hydraulic engine mount with air spring of which characteristics could shift between a high dynamic stiffness and a low one was applied. Then the structure and principle of the mount with variable characteristics was introduced and control mode was analyzed. Dynamic characteristics were obtained by bench test. With sample mount applied, vibration of seat rail was tested again in multiple vehicle and engine working conditions. Dates showed that abnormal vibration in idle condition was extremely reduced and the mount could also meet the requirement of engine to dynamic stiffness in driving conditions.
Journal Article
Exhaust noise is a major contributor to the radiated noise level of a vehicle, especially at idle. The radiated noise level has to meet a certain criteria based on regulation and consumer demand. In many cases, the problem appears after the vehicle is manufactured and the tailpipe noise measurement is performed indicating a high noise level that needs to be reduced. This paper describes one of those cases where the radiated noise level of a certain passenger car at idle was required to be reduced by 6 dB(A). The exhaust system consists of one main muffler and one auxiliary muffler. A 1D two-port model of the exhaust system including the two mufflers was built using commercial software. This model was validated against the measurement of the two-port matrix of both mufflers. The model was then used together with tailpipe noise measurements to estimate the characteristics of the source strength and impedance.
Technical Paper
Abstract Achieving targeted global modes (torsion, vertical bending and lateral bending) is one of the main enablers in meeting desired NVH performance characteristics of a new vehicle program. The torsion mode of next generation Land Rover - Freelander was lagging behind its target while the development cycle was quite progressed beyond underbody freeze. There was a challenge to recover more than 8 Hz in BIW torsion mode. A combination of Nastran Sol 200 (design sensitivity and optimization) and iterative process was adopted to demonstrate how the mode could be recovered with optimum mass penalty to the program. The paper states the existing modal status when this work was taken up. Next it elucidates design sensitivity/optimization module outcome which identifies sensitive areas to improve torsion mode.
Vehicular Cabin Noise Source Identification and Optimization Using Beamforming and Acoustical Holography
Technical Paper
Abstract The automobile market is witnessing a different trend altogether - the trend of shifting preference from powerful to fuel efficient machines. Certain factors like growing prices of fuel, struggling global economy, environmental sensitiveness and affordability have pushed the focus on smaller, efficient and cleaner automobiles. To meet such requirements, the automobile manufacturers, are going stringent on vehicle weights. Using electric and hybrid power-plants are other options to meet higher fuel efficiency and emission requirements but significant cost of these technologies have kept their growth restricted to only few makers and to only few regions of the globe. Optimizing the vehicle weight is a more attractive option for makers as it promises lesser time to market, is low on investment and allows use of existing platforms.

Michael Douglas Collects Unicef Peace Award
Michael Douglas has picked up another shiny award - but not one for an acting role this time.
The Oscar-winner was recognised by Unicef for his nuclear disarmament campaign work, a cause he said was not "touchy-feely" with celebrities and their fans.
The actor has been a United Nations Messenger of Peace since 1998 and started looking at the nuclear issue in the 1979 film The China Syndrome.
Speaking before he picked up the Danny Kaye Humanitarian Peace Award, Douglas said: "I did a movie many, many years ago called The China Syndrome about a nuclear power plant having a meltdown, which gave me some sense of what was going on.
"I also went to visit, my father comes from Belarus, which is downwind from Chernobyl, and that's some of the earlier ways I became involved. I got involved with the United Nations as a Messenger of Peace."
It was the 69-year-old actor's second honour this week after winning a Golden Globe on Sunday for his acclaimed portrayal of the exuberant pianist Liberace in Behind The Candelabra.
His co-star in the film, Matt Damon, presented him with the award.
Douglas won an Oscar in 1988 for his role as ruthless corporate raider Gordon Gekko in Wall Street.
The recognition for his work both on and off screen comes in the wake of his successful treatment for stage IV cancer that made him so weak, as he said in his acceptance speech on Sunday that the Liberace biopic had to be put on hold.
He decided long ago that to deal with the overwhelming demand for him to show up for charity, that he would principally work with the elimination of nuclear weapons and small arms at the UN.
British actor Michael Sheen was also at the event in Beverly Hills and spoke about his experiences during a recent trip to Chad in West Africa with Unicef.
"I saw tiny little children scrambling around for tiny little bits, one grain of rice on the ground, and I said to someone 'When do they get food? How regularly does the food come around?' And they said 'There is no food, there's no food. These people aren't eating, they have no food'.
"And so, eventually someone came up to me and said 'Well we're going for lunch now, it's time to go for lunch'.
"That's a strange situation to be in where you're watching people who may well be dead for lack of food and off you go to have lunch. And so it made me want to see how quickly I could get money from my bank account into the place."

Wellington patients needing flights to get life saving treatment will be all wrapped up in a new plane decorated by Weta Workshop.
Life Flight Trust, which has provided fixed wing air ambulance services to the Wellington region since 1983, has replaced its ageing Metroliner with a J32 Jetstream aeroplane.
Its paintwork - criss-crossed bandages all neatly tied up with a shiny safety pin - was completed by artists from nearby Weta Workshop.
Staying with the theme, Prime Minister John Key cut a bandage to officially unveil the plane at the Life Flight hangar at Wellington International Airport today.
Life Flight, which also operates the Wellington-based Westpac Rescue Helicopter, flies an average of four emergency trips per day to hospitals all over New Zealand. Last year it made 1387 patient deliveries.
Life Flight chairman Bill Day said maintaining the previous Metroliner plane had become more challenging and expensive as it aged.
"We have today moved to a J32 Jetstream which enables us to continue providing the highest standards of patient care in the air at lower costs," Day said.
"This plane will save lives - We are proud of our pilots, staff and medical teams who do such an outstanding job."
One who owes his life to the service, Wayne Cherry, 17, was there to see the plane which will replace the one which transported him for life-saving cancer treatment in Christchurch five and six years ago.
He had 72 hours to live and Life Flight made it in time - a stressful time made all the better by a friendly, calm team, he said.
"They also stopped my mum from freaking out."

Sania: Controversies have helped me grow
Indian tennis star shrugs off incidents which have dogged her career
- Image Credit: Megan Hirons Mahon/Gulf News

Beijing: Controversies may have been a regular part of her life, but Indian star Sania Mirza has learned to shrug them off and concentrate on her tennis.
"I think that controversies have helped me grow in a lot of different ways," she told Gulf News after moving into the doubles final here at the China Open on Friday.
"I really don't know if the controversies were following me or they were being put on me. That's debatable and it's just a matter of opinion.
"But I think that's all in the past and there have not been too many controversies that have taken place in my life in the past two years or so now. I think it's really in the past."
The last controversy to cross her path, though unwittingly, was earlier this year after both Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna refused to partner Leander Paes in the men's doubles at the London Olympics.
In return, Paes demanded to have Mirza as his mixed doubles partner, leading a furious Mirza to lash out at the All India Tennis Association (AITA) for using her as 'bait' to keep Paes happy. She had originally decided to partner Bhupathi, with whom she has won two Grand Slams.
In the past, people have questioned Mirza's loyalty to the land of her birth following her marriage to Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malek, but she has time and again clarified her loyalty.
So when she was the only one seen without an Indian flag at the London Games opening ceremony, Mirza had to clarify her position. "To see the national flag go up while standing on the podium is the proudest moment in an athlete's life," she had said.
However, after years of consistently being mired in controversies, Mirza believes she has found the ideal way to circumvent them — by keeping away from unwanted tensions in her life. "Maybe people don't want to create any controversy about me any more. Who knows?" she said.
"I have no idea why, but perhaps you should ask the people who created the controversies. I didn't [create them]."

Wounded Warrior Project Participates in Demonization of Firearms
Those who treasure our priceless Second Amendment liberties need to be very careful where we donate, lest we shoot ourselves in the foot. Anti-Constitutional moonbats can be found behind even the most seemingly benevolent enterprises, including the Wounded Warrior Project, as Tom Gresham of Gun Talk Radio reveals:
We were disappointed when the Leslie Coleman, PR director for WWP, said they couldn't come on the show … because we "are related to firearms."
"While we appreciate the interest in having a WWP representative on your show on Veterans Day we are not able to participate in interviews or activities with media/organizations that are related to firearms," said Ms. Coleman in her email.
Coleman pules that returning vets have used guns to commit suicide. Apparently they would prefer suicides to fling themselves off bridges or the tops of buildings.
WWP also disapproves of knives, refusing to "co-brand" with manufacturers. Vets might cut themselves.
Keeping guns and knives company on the no co-brand list are alcohol and pornography.
Despite the great work WWP does, the gun issue is not trivial, especially in light of the firestorm of anti-gun propaganda the media has whipped up in response to Sandy Hook. Gresham has a "No Shrug" policy that entails never doing business with any outfit that labels gun-owners as undesirables, because to shrug and take the abuse is to participate in a campaign of demonization intended to result in the denial of our right to bear arms.
Good thing WWP doesn't have a monopoly. There is no shortage of organizations that help vets.

Classical review: Vox Luminis/Meunier, Wigmore Hall, London
Monday 30 September 2013
No family has ever rivalled that of the Thuringian Bachs for inherited musical talent: they were all either town pipers, organists, or instrument makers, and they frequently gathered together to sing and play; Johann Sebastian, though the greatest by a mile, was by no means the first significant Bach composer. He was so proud of his antecedents that he compiled his own genealogy, and he possessed a collection of motets by a medley of Bachs.
Six of those motets, plus two of Sebastian's own, formed the programme of the Belgian Baroque ensemble Vox Luminis under their director Lionel Meunier. It permitted fascinating comparisons as to how each Bach approached this choral form, and it also brought into high relief the particular church-music style which prevailed in Lutheran Germany: the religion itself may have been severe, but – following Luther's injunction to give the word of God 'life and truth' – the music itself was intensely dramatic and colourful.
The first two motets came from Sebastian's great-uncle Johann Bach, with his 'Our life is a shadow' reflecting people's worn-down mood after thirty years of incessant war. For his 'Jesu, my joy' the singers divided to create what was described in Johann's day as a 'Fernchor', a 'distant choir' serving as an echo, to charming effect. By now one could appreciate what it is that has earned this ensemble their celebrity in Europe, even if they are almost totally unknown in Britain (this concert was their UK debut). Their sound is warm and resonant, and they sing this 300-year-old music with the freshness and ardour of true believers; apart from the occasional nod from Meunier they are conductor-less, and therefore operate like chamber musicians. When they came to 'Hold fast what you have', a labyrinthine dialogue between two choirs by Sebastian's second-uncle Johann Michael, they set up a momentum so infectious that the motet's farewell to life acquired urgent immediacy.
As John Eliot Gardiner argues in his new book 'Music in the Castle of Heaven', it was Sebastian's great good fortune to be orphaned early, and to be accordingly apprenticed to his inspiring elder cousin Johann Christoph. And the motets we heard by that composer reinforced the point: his 'Be not afraid' was an astonishingly concentrated choral utterance, technically as daring as the great 'Jesu, my joy' by Johann Sebastian himself, which, with its whirling fugues and sublimely beautiful interwoven melodies, brought the evening to a rousing close.

The FBI has begun a probe into illegal gambling accusations surrounding an Oklahoma City man whose wife was brutally beaten to death, The Oklahoman has learned.
Slain Oklahoma City woman's husband faces FBI inquiry; grand jury helps again
An FBI special agent and an Internal Revenue Service investigator attempted to interview two friends of Teddy Mitchell earlier this month, attorneys for the friends confirmed Wednesday.
A state multicounty grand jury, meanwhile, helped again Wednesday in the separate investigation into Julie Mitchell's death. Oklahoma County prosecutors sought the grand jury's help because some witnesses have been reluctant to talk to Oklahoma City police detectives.
The grand jury heard Wednesday from two of the victim's stepsons, Nick Mitchell and Dryden Mitchell. Each testified about two hours. Grand jury testimony is not open to the public.
The grand jury also heard from David Loveland, a close friend of Teddy Mitchell. His attorney, Larry Cassil, said they were told to return May 25.
Another friend, Edmond insurance agent Michael Thomas, spent only a few minutes before the grand jury and refused to cooperate. The grand jury's judge excused him.
Thomas' attorney, Josh Welch, said "he exercised his Fifth Amendment right not to answer any questions that would incriminate him" primarily because of "a federal investigation of allegations of gambling … involving Mr. Mitchell."
"There's no inference that you can draw as to a person's guilt based on their invocation of the Fifth Amendment," Welch said. "We hope that his status may change, and he may answer questions and cooperate."
Welch confirmed an FBI agent and an IRS investigator came to Thomas' insurance office last week. Welch said Thomas did not answer their questions, either.
Welch said Thomas and Teddy Mitchell have been friends for years but "haven't spoke in some time."

HOUSTON- by KHOU staff
HOUSTON—A man already serving time for 10 counts of child pornography and sex assault has been linked to a teen's brutal murder three years ago, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office Homicide Division.
Joseph Michael Payne, 32, has been charged with capital murder in the stabbing death of 18-year-old Trang Michelle Van.
Van was found dead in her home in the 10100 block of Lazy Lagoon on July 2, 2009.
Van's family became concerned after she missed a planned meeting with a relative. After the relative called several times and could not reach her, family members went to find out what was wrong. That is when Van's father found her body inside a closet in the house.
Investigators searched for answers and Crime Stoppers offered a hefty reward, but the case went cold.
Investigators said Payne, who had been in jail since February 2012, began to leak information to other inmates. They were also able to link him to Van's death through an IP address on a computer.
Van had just graduated from high school and had hopes of becoming a teacher before her life was cut short.
This story comes to us through our partnership with KHOU News.

Snyder gets five-year deal
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder received a five-year contract that will keep him at the school through the end of the 2013 season.
Snyder will be paid $9.575 million over the course of the contract, which is retroactive to Feb. 1, 2009.
Big 12 blog
ESPN.com's David Ubben writes about all things Big 12 in his conference blog.
Snyder, who will turn 70 on Oct. 7, returned to coach the Wildcats last season after retiring in November 2005. He had said many times since his return that he came back to coaching to "smooth the waters" after the tumultuous tenure of Ron Prince.
But the announcement made after the K-State Athletics Inc. board of directors approved the contract on Friday revealed that he will apparently be in place for much longer than most expected.
"We are excited to have coach Snyder back on the sidelines and leading our football program," Kansas State president Kirk Schulz said. "No other coach in America has served his institution with greater dedication and loyalty, and we are confident about the future of K-State football."
Snyder will be paid a base salary plus supplemental licensing payments totaling $1.85 million in the 2009-10 contract year, $1.875 million in 2010-11, $1.925 million in 2011-12, $1.95 million in 2012-13 and $1.975 million in 2013-14.
The contract also has performance incentives that could add up to $455,000 annually, including $75,000 for winning the Big 12 championship and $250,000 for a BCS championship.
"The reason we came to Kansas State was because of the people, we have stayed here all of these years because of the people and our reason for returning was because of the people," Snyder said. "I am so very appreciative of the commitment and leadership of President Schulz and [KSU athletic director] John Currie and the vision they share with me for the direction of our football program."
Snyder helped orchestrate one of the most stunning turnarounds in college football history during his original tenure at Kansas State. After he was hired in 1988, he directed the Wildcats to eight consecutive seasons of nine or more wins from 1993 through 2000. The Wildcats made 11 straight bowl trips, finished in the top 10 six times and claimed the 2003 Big 12 title.
After his employment as coach, Snyder will continue to be paid $150,000 annually as special assistant to Kansas State's athletic director.
The Wildcats started the season last week with a 21-17 victory over Massachusetts, boosting Snyder's career record to 137-68-1.

I can't tell whether or not if Chris Dodd is telling the truth about the SOPA and PIPA bills being dead or not.
I guess we'll have to wait and see if it is true or not.

As we have seen its obvious they don't need any laws to do what the want anywhere in the world, it was a good way to legitimate their unscrupulous illegal actions however.
Of course they don't care about SOPA/PIPA anymore, they have in the TPP and gone a step further in criminalization and punishment, they are trying to pass the law as a supposed economic trade agreement now!
I think CISPA is still cooking...not sure yet, had to check to see whats going on with this one.
This **** is telling the truth, those laws are dead because they have taken in a new name now.

|It's always tough to fight things like that, because politicians are afraid of what their opponents will do come reelection time. It would have been so easy for campaign attack ads to change the facts without actually changing the facts. A vote against a law like that could be construed as, "Such-and-Such voted down legislation that would have protected our children." It's a very slimy tactic, and one that makes this sort of thing extremely difficult to fight. As for the trade bills, that's not much easier to fight considering these pieces of 'legislation' weren't even voted on. That makes them entirely unfair, and arguably a stretch of everyone's powers who were involved.

Women are still being discriminated against by employers despite comprehensive human rights legislation, a researcher says.
Research by University of Canterbury associate professor Annick Masselot questioned legal experts in the field of gender inequality and discrimination.
She found pregnant women, those with young children or of child-bearing age in "danger of becoming pregnant" were less likely to be considered for a job.
Masselot said this was largely because of "cultural stereotypes" where women were perceived as the main carers.
"Women are not merely discriminated against because they are pregnant and are about to take a period of parental leave; they are discriminated on the basis of the next 15 years of school holidays," she said.
She said discrimination appeared to be less common in large enterprises and the public sector compared with small businesses and the private sector.
"It has been suggested that the extent of pregnancy and maternity rights is directly linked to lower employment rates among women," she said.
"However, there is no clear evidence to suggest that discrimination against women is triggered by the existence of rights or that women are discriminated against because rights are too burdensome for employers."
Advanced Personnel Services national operations manager Ryan Densem said the firm did not discriminate on what candidates were put forward to a client for a job.
However, he was aware pregnancy was a "big factor" that his clients took into consideration when hiring, but they would never admit it. "They'd never say, 'Sorry, we won't hire you because you're pregnant'. They'd say, 'Sorry, your background and experience isn't exactly what we're looking for'."
Densem said he had dealt with employers left "frustrated" from employing a pregnant women after investing time and money into the hiring process and training, only to have to go through the same process a few months later to cover their maternity leave.
