Direct numerical simulations were performed to investigate the physics of a spatially developing turbulent boundary layer flow subjected to spanwise oscillating electromagnetic forces in the near wall region. A fully implicit fractional step method was employed to simulate the flow. The mean flow properties and the Reynolds stresses were obtained to analyze the near-wall turbulent structure. It is found that skin friction and turbulent kinetic energy can be reduced by the electromagnetic forces. The decrease in production is responsible fur the reduction of turbulent kinetic energy. Instantaneous flow visualization techniques were used to observe the response of streamwise vortices and streak structures to spanwise oscillating forces. The near-wall vortical structures are affected by spanwise oscillating electromagnetic forces. Following the stopping of the electromagnetic force, the flow eventually relaxes back to a two-dimensional equilibrium boundary layer.

The governing equations of micro double cantilever beam structures interacted by electrostatic forces are obtained employing Galerkin's method based on Euler beam theory. Variations of static and dynamic responses as well as natural frequencies are estimated for applied voltages. In particular, it is investigated how the variations of beam properties resulted by manufacturing process influence the deflections and the modal characteristics. This study can help to design MEMS structures and to predict the performances with respect to manufacturing tolerances.

This paper presents results of vibration analysis of a end-winding of large generator for fossil power plant. A finite element analysis using a commercial S/W is performed to calculate alternating electromagnetic forces, mainly of 120㎐ in 60㎐ machines, acting on the end-winding, and then to calculate forced response of the end-winding under electromagnetic forces. Also, this paper presents analytical and experimental modal analysis results of generator end-winding to validate FE model. We calculated forced response of end-winding on 120㎐, double rotating frequency. These results will be used to evaluate structural reliability of end-winding and applied to update model.

Static and dynamic responses of micro cantilever beam structures undertaking electrostatic forces are obtained employing Galerkin's method based on Euler beam theory. Variations of static and dynamic responses as well as resonant frequencies are estimated for several sets of beam properties and applied voltages. It is shown that the applied voltage influences the deflection and the modal characteristics significantly. Such information can be usefully employed for the design of MEMS structures.

This paper describes the levitation mechanism using magnetic wheel for a maglev planar transportation system. Rotation of the magnetic wheel where the permanent magnet array is embedded produces the time varying traveling magnetic flux density and the generated magnetic flux density creates the induced levitation force and drag force with the conductor. Because the net drag force is zero, magnetic wheel can only generate the levitation force. Thus, it always guarantees the stability in levitation direction and it does not disturb other directional motion. In this paper, levitation principle of the magnetic wheel is analyzed using distributed field approach and dynamic characteristics of the levitation in the magnetic wheel system are estimated. The feasibility of the proposed levitation mechanism is verified through the several experimental works.

일반적으로 에어로졸 상의 고체입자에 대한 분리기술은 크게 전기집진기술과 여과집진기술, 습식기술 등으로 나눌 수 있다. 최근 연료의 탈황으로 인해 배출되는 먼지의 비저항성이 높아져 전기집진기술의 효율이 크게 떨어져 여과집진기술로 조금씩 대체되어가고 있다. 그러나 여과집진기술의 경우, Flow Gas 포집기작의 영향이 지배적이지 못한 l㎛ 미만의 입자들에 대한 제어가 효과적이지 못한 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 1㎛ 미만의 입자들에 대해 정전기력을 부여해서 전기적응집에 의한 입자성장을 유도하여 여과집진시에 필터 표면에 Dendrites Structure를 형성하게끔 유도하여 AP 증가율을 낮추고자 한다. 이에 따른 직접적인 효과는 탈진회수의 감소로 탈진시 소요되는 동력비의 감소와 탈진시 마모나 파손되는 여과포의 수명연장으로 실제 산업공정에 적용시 운전유지비의 감소효과를 꾀할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Electromagnetic forming (EMF) technology, which is one of the high speed forming methods, has been used for the forming process in various industry fields. Numerical approach by finite element simulation of the EMF process is presented in this study. The implicit code is used to obtain the numerical model of the time-varying currents that are discharged through the coil in order to obtain the transient magnetic forces. In addition, the body forces generated in the workpiece are used as the loading condition to analyze deformation of thin sheet metal workpiece using explicit code. Numerical approach for a dimpled shape by EMF process is carried out and the simulated results of the dimpled shape by EMF are reviewed in view of the deformed shape and formability evaluation.

This paper presents the design and the control of three degree-of-freedom(DOF) fine positioning device based on an electro-magnetic force. The device is designed by use of a magnetic circuit theory and it is capable of fine motion due to the electro-magnetic force. The device consists of permanent magnets, yokes and coils. The magnetic fluxes generated from the permanent magnets constitute magnetic paths through steel, whereas the coils are arranged into the gap between two surfaces of the yokes. Therefore, by supplying current to the coils, the coils are capable of some motions due to Lorentz forces. For the optimal design of the actuating system, the system parameters are defined and investigated under the given constraints. From the system modeling in small displacement, three decoupled equations of motion are obtained. To get better performance of the system, a PID controller is implemented. Experimental results are presented in terms of time response and accuracy.
