This paper concerns servo filter design for KSR-III gimbal engine actuation system. When the actuator system is attached to engine mount frame, unexpected resonant modes in low frequency can occur and make the control system unstable. In order to prevent the resonance in the actuation system, a proper lowpass servo filter is designed. Based on the dynamic test data including the resonant effect, the shape of the servo filter is determined, and then the corresponding parameters are optimally designed. The best solution is finally selected via dynamic tests including the servo filter.

This paper describes the development of gimbals engine actuation system for KSR(Korean Sounding Rocket)-III which performs the attitude control of pitch and yaw axes by thrust vector control of liquid propellant gimbals engine. The development requirements of configuration, performance and environment are introduced, and the principles and details of components and system development are discussed. The developed system successfully fulfilled its own performance and environmental evaluation. It will be planned to perform verification of interface and integration compatibility with other related systems, and then mounted on KSR-III as a flight hardware system.

During dynamic flight by propulsion of rocket engine, in the atmosphere, the attitude control of flight vehicle can be accomplished by the aerodynamic fin actuator. But, in the outer space, the method of TVC(Thrust Vector Control) is only depend on for it. There are many systems which were developed for TVC. In our research, among them we adopted gimbal engine actuation system which could control the vector of thrust by swivelling rocket engine connected by gimbal. There are electro-hydraulic, electro-mechanical and pneumatic system which can be used as gimbal engine actuation system, but the electro-hydraulic system that has high ratio of output power to mass is preferred for the high power system. In this note, we made a mathematical model of the electro-hydraulic gimbal engine actuation system for the TVC of KSR-III in detail and on the base of this model we performed a simulation study. And then, we verified the model by making a comparison between the simulation and the experiments on the real system.

In this paper, we propose a state feedback robust controller of 2-axis gimbal system which have bounded parametric uncertainty. The proposed controller is robust against dynamics variations of gimbal system and contains a dynamic compensator in order to improve a steady state error and a transient response. The stability of the closed-loop system is proved by Lyapunov approach. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated by simulation on a 2-axis gimbal system.

The gimbal expansion joint for the pipe line of a liquid rocket engine undergoes high pressure and cyclic rotational displacement loadings. In present study, the moment analyses and tests of the internal-type gimbal expansion joint for the engine were performed. The moment components due to spring stiffness, friction and lateral force were obtained using a analytic method and their sums at low and high pressures were compared with the test results. Also, applying a $MoS_2$ dry film lubricant to the pin of a external hinge expansion joint, it is tested that the galling of the pin was removed and the friction coefficient was decreased for low pressures.

In this paper, in order to guarantee successful operation of KSR-III TVC actuator in the presence of excessive external disturbances, a relief valve is designed as a key component of the actuator. It is shown that the relief valve can resolve the stability problems which occur due to actuator failure in the presence of excessive disturbance torques on the actuator. Six degree-of-freedom simulation shows that relief valves with low operating pressure and low LOHM parameter may be better is stability and performance of the TVC actuator system.

In this paper, a servo filter design for the gimbal engine actuator system of KSR-III(Korea Sounding Rocket-III) is considered. A reasonable filter structure is determined based on the actuator analytic models. The servo filter consists of a 2-nd order lowpass filter and a 1-st order compensator. The lowpass filter is required to protect the actuator from high frequency vibration, and the compensator to enhance the resulting stability. A Butterworth type servo filter is considered as the simplest one. The final servo filter type is determined by evaluating simultaneously both high frequency gain reduction performance and the corresponding KSR-III stability margin. Consequently it is revealed that a notch type servo filter located on the error between command signal and feedback signal in the control loop is very effective. Later, based on the proposed servo filter type, an onboard servo filter hardware of KSR-III will be designed and tested.

Electronic equipments and make other electronic systems to operate abnormally by means of electromagnetic interference, or can operate abnormally themselves by electromagnetic interference of other electronic systems. Therefore, electronic equipments are required to reduce their electromagnetic interference as small as for other systems to operate properly and operate properly within electromagnetic interference from other electronic systems. In order to prove that electronic equipments meet such requirements, they should undergo electromagnetic environmental test. In this study, we introduce electromagnetic environmental requirements, test procedures and test results of gimbal engine actuation system of KSR-III.

항공기, 차량, 유도탄 둥과 같은 동적인 플랫폼에서 표적을 추적하기 위해서 시선을 안정화하는 외부의 추적 루프와 내부의 안정화 루프(또는 속도 루프)가 있고, 또한 표적을 추적하기 전 표적을 지향하고 포착하기 위해 김발을 동체에 대해 일정한 각도로 유지하기 위한 위치 루프도가지고 있다. 일반적으로 안정화 루프는 각속도를 측정하기 위한 검출기로 자이로를 사용하고, 위치 루프는 김발각을 제어하기 위한 위치 검출기를 사용한다. 그러나 안정화 루프에 사용되는 자이로는 루프 성능을 최적으로 하기 위해서 고성능/고가의 자이로가 사용되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 위치 루프에 사용되는 위치 센서인 리졸버를 사용하여 고성능/고가의 자이로 센서 없이 안정화 루프를 설계하였고, 리졸버를 사용하여 설계된 안정화 루프가 동적인 플랫폼에 사용될 수 있는지 시뮬레이션 결과와 실험 결과를 통해 분석하였다.
