The Japan Society for Occupational Health (JSOH) recommends the Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) as reference values for preventing adverse health effects on workers caused by occupational exposure to chemical substances, continuous or intermittent noise, impulsive or impact noise, heat stress, cold stress, whole-body vibration, hand-arm vibration and time-varying electric, magnetic and elec...

in this work an improved method for designing a linear vibrational absorber, excited by random vibrations is presented and analyzed. first, analytical expressions, for non-stationary white noise accelerations, are derived. the criterion is different from the conventional criteria, used for structural design under random vibration, and it is based on minimum displacement or acceleration response...

Vibration isolation and noise control technologies are used in submarines on multiple systems and there are various reasons for employing these technologies. One of the principal reasons is to minimise the acoustic signature of the submarine so that it is difficult to detect. This paper contains descriptions of conventional and emerging noise and vibration isolation technologies that have and c...

This paper presents a new control structure to reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. Although SRM possesses many advantages in motor structure, it suers from large torque ripple that causes some problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. In this paper another control loop is added and torque ripple is de ned as an objective function. By using fuzzy sliding mode strategy, the DC...

Aiming to improve survey accuracy of Measurement While Drilling (MWD) based on Fiber Optic Gyroscopes (FOGs) in the long period, the external aiding sources are fused into the inertial navigation by the Kalman filter (KF) method. The KF method needs to model the inertial sensors' noise as the system noise model. The system noise is modeled as white Gaussian noise conventionally. However, becaus...

This paper will review practical techniques and procedures employed to quiet gearboxes and transmission units. The author prefers solving the gear noise problem at the very source to introduce an enclosure as a means to reduce radiated noise, which seems to be easy but its effect on the sound pressure level is small. The gearbox noise problem solution is focused on the improvement of gear desig...

Multiple feedback systems are foreseen to ensure stable luminosity for the X-band linear collider. Beam-based train-by-train steering feedbacks will be used in the linac and at the IP. Active stabilization of the final doublet is being developed to counteract the possibility of excessive vibration from the detector. Another option is fast intratrain feedback that could recover a major part of t...
