Abstract A hydraulic piston/cylinder arrangement is connected to an externally located ER valve to provide a controllable vibration damper. This arrangement is analysed and a technique developed to predict the force/velocity characteristics under quasi-steady conditions. The basis of the technique is a generalised non-dimensional presentation of fluid-alone data. In the work described here fluid inertia, compressibility and temperature effects are not included. This limits the application of the results to cases where the excitation frequency is low whilst allowing a clear portrayal of the potential controllability of a long-stroke damping device.

The noise of the engine and torsional vibration of the engine’s shafting is been tested. The engine is a direct injection turbo charge inter-cooling four cylinders one. In the testing, the original pulley and three different torsional vibration dampers are compared.The result shows that it can reduce the vibration of the shafting, triangular belt, the accessory, and can reduce 1 to 2 decibel of the engine’s sound power level by using the torsional vibration damper.

The tilted beam illumination method is used to improve the resolution comparing with the axial illumination mode. Using this advantage, a restoration method of several tilted beam images covering the full azimuthal range was proposed by Saxton, and experimentally examined. To make this technique more reliable it seems that some practical problems still remain. In this report the restoration was attempted and the problems were considered. In our study, four problems were pointed out for the experiment of the restoration. (1) Accurate beam tilt adjustment to fit the incident beam to the coma-free axis for the symmetrical beam tilting over the full azimuthal range. (2) Accurate measurements of the optical parameters which are necessary to design the restoration filter. Even if the spherical aberration coefficient Cs is known with accuracy and the axial astigmatism is sufficiently compensated, at least the defocus value must be measured. (3) Accurate alignment of the tilt-azimuth series images.
