This paper presents a study on the system identification of the in-situ output shaft torque measurement system using a non-contacting magneto-elastic torque transducer installed in a vehicle drivline. The frequency response (transfer) function (FRF) analysis is conducted to interpret the dynamic interaction between the output shaft torque and road side excitation due to the road roughness. In order to identify the frequency response function of vehicle driveline system, two power spectral density (PSD) functions of two random signals: the road roughness profile synthesized from the road roughness index equation and the stationary noise torque extracted from the original torque signal, are first estimated. System identification results show that the output torque signal can be affected by the dynamic characteristics of vehicle driveline systems, as well as the road roughness.

A numerical method is proposed to optimize automotive cam profiles. An acceleration curve of a cam follower motion is described by Hermite spline curves. Because of the intrinsic characteristics of the Hermite curve, it is possible to design an acceleration curve with arbitrary shape. Design variables in the optimization problem are location of control points which define the acceleration curve. Objective function includes dynamic performances as well as kinematic properties of a valve train. Similar optimization procedure was also performed using Polydyne cam profile synthesis method. Optimized profiles using the Hermite curve are proved to be superior to those using the Polydyne method.

The objective of this study is to understand the dynamic characterictics of OHV type valve trains and to design and optimal cam profile which will improve engine performance. A numerical model for valve train dynamics is presented, which aims at both accuracy and computational efficiency. The lumped mass model and distributed parameter model were used to describe the valve train dynamics. Nonlinear characterictics in the valve spring behavior were included in the model. Comprehensive experiments were carried out concerning the valve train dynamics, and the model was tuned based on the test results. The dynamic model was used in designing an optimal cam profile. Because the objective function has many local minima, a conventional local optimizer cannot be used to find an optimal solution. A modified adaptive random search method is successfully employed to solve the problem. Cam lobe area could be increased up to 7.3% without any penalties in kinematic and dynamic behaviors of the valve train.

For the practical use of a fuel injection system using solenoid, some mechanical and electrical problems should be explicitly analyzed. In our study, we have investigated these problems experimentally and have improved such that a solenoid driving circuit is liable to establish a fast reponse and a precise control of injection quantity. This proposed fuel injecton system is capable to control equivalence ratio from low level to high level. Therefore, we expect that this proposed system should be applicable to an actual engine.

We report the new design of a miniature electromagnetic actuator for probe-based data storage with anti-vibration mechanism. The actuator consists of a media substrate, silicon frame, 2 pairs of magnets, a spacer, and a printed circuit board (PCB). The total area of the device is $11.2{\times}11.2 mm^2$ while the data recording area is $7.4{\times}7.4 mm^2$. A net momentum fee structure was included for high vibration resistance. The simulation shows that the lateral vibration can be reduced to below 100 nm for 1 G acceleration if the counter mass is adjusted with $1\%$ difference. The peak power for ${\pm}50 {\mu}m$ displacement is below 50 mW for a actuator with a resonance at 200 Hz.

망원경을 사용하여 천체를 관측할 때, 망원경은 기계적인 오차, 구동제어 오차 등의 영향을 받는다. 제어를 위하여 천체영상을 획득하는 부분은 시간 지연, 상의 왜곡 등의 영향을 받는다. 더우기, 바람이나 진동 등 예기치 않은 외부적인 요인에 의한 오차가 유발되기도 한다. 이러한 다양한 요인들은 망원경이 천체를 정확히 찾아가고 추적하는 것을 어렵게 만든다. 우리는 추적오차에 주는 영향들을 정량적으로 분석하고 제어에 반영하여 가장 최적의 제어를 할 수 있도록 하고자 한다. 이전 연구에서 김해천문대 독일식 적도의 방식 200mm 망원경과 PLC 기반의 망원경 제어 장치 및 AP8 CCD 카메라를 사용하여, 지향 및 추적 관측 실험을 하였고, 그 결과를 분석하여 경험적 제어 모형을 만들었다(강용우 외, 2010). 이전 연구를 기반으로 이번 연구에서는 제어 전달을 해석적 함수로 시스템의 수학적 모델을 세워, 각 요인들의 영향을 분석하여, 그 내용을 소개하고자 한다.

The effect of sensor faults in direct torque control(DTC) based induction motor drives is analyzed and a new Instrument fault detection isolation scheme(IFDIS) is proposed. The proposed IFDIS, which operated in real-time, detects and isolates the incipient fault(s) of speed sensor and current sensors that provide the feedback information. The scheme consists of an adaptive gain scheduling observer as a residual generator and a special sequential test logic unit. The observer provides not only the estimate of stator flux, a key variable in DTC system, but also the estimates of stator current and rotor speed that are useful for fault detection. With the test logic, the IFDIS has the functionality of fault isolation that only multiple estimator based IFDIS schemes can have. Simulation results for various type of sensor faults show the detection and isolation performance of the IFDIS and the applicability of this scheme to fault tolerant control system design.

Secondly, the system has a technique of exited with modulation(EWM), bidirection control, and partial square wave control. Thirdly, the controller is designed for system stability Experimental results show the performance of the proposed controller of MPB BLDC motors for an electric bicycle.

This paper deals with a comparative evaluation of the reliability of control rod drive mechanisms including their driving methods for nuclear power plants. Basically there exist two types of electromagnetic-jack-type drive mechanisms in commercial use that are called as Control Rod Drive Mechanism and Control Element Drive Mechanism. Each type has corresponding drive sequence to make the movements of insertion and withdrawal. A state-space model is derived for each model graphically. Then the evaluation of the reliability is carried out on the programming tool called SHARPE. The evaluation does not give any meaningful numerical values for the reliability but just shows a relative degree to each other in view of reliability.
