Fundamental experiment and theoretical analysis for subharmonic vibration in automatic transmission

In the torque converter, a damper with a piecewise-linear spring is used to reduce the forced vibration, and the subharmonic vibration occurs when the spring restoring torque characteristics approach the switching point. This research analyzed the effect of stiffness ratio between the neighboring piecewise-linear springs on the occurrence of the subharmonic nonlinear vibration in automatic transmission powertrain. The powertrain is modeled with multi degree-of-freedom nonlinear system as an actual vehicle. The result shows higher value of the stiffness ratio between the neighboring springs creates larger value of the subharmonic vibration.

Splitting Effect

The splitting effect that is observed in microdiffraction pat-terns of small metallic particles in the size range 50-500 Å can be understood using the dynamical theory of electron diffraction for the case of a crystal containing a finite wedge. For the experimental data we refer to part I of this work in these proceedings.

Parallel Case

Patients who have undergone several sessions of chemotherapy for cancer will sometimes develop anticipatory nausea and vomiting (ANV), these unpleasant side effects occurring as the patients return to the clinic for a further session of treatment. Pavlov's analysis of learning allows that previously neutral cues, such as those that characterize a given place or context, can become associated with events that occur in that context. ANV could thus constitute an example of a conditioned response elicited by the contextual cues of the clinic. In order to investigate this proposal we have begun an experimental analysis of a parallel case in which laboratory rats are given a nausea-inducing treatment in a novel context. We have developed a robust procedure for assessing the acquisition of context aversion in rats given such training, a procedure that shows promise as a possible animal model of ANV. Theoretical analysis of the conditioning processes involved in the formation of context aversions in animals suggests possible behavioral strategies that might be used in the alleviation of ANV, and we report a preliminary experimental test of one of these.
