This paper presents the power management strategies for a compound hybrid excavator. The compound hybrid excavator has been replaced the hydraulic swing motor to the electric swing motor. This excavator requires a proper control algorithm to regulate the energy flow between the mechanical coupling and the electric devices. The controller should improve fuel economy and maintain the super capacitor voltage within a proper range. A thermostat controller and ECMS controller are designed such that these objectives can be achieved. The thermostat controller regulates the power of the engine-assist motor on the basis of the super capacitor voltage, and the ECMS controller determines it using the real-time fuel minimization strategy based on the concept of equivalent fuel. Simulation results showed that by using the hybrid excavator, the fuel economy becomes about 20% higher than that obtained using the conventional excavator and that the ECMS controller outperforms the thermostat controller.

바퀴동력계는 차량에 지면으로부터 전달되는 힘과 모멘트를 측정하는 로드셀이다. 본 연구에서 개발한 바퀴동력계는 스트레인 게이지식 로드셀로써 이러한 로드셀을 설계하는데 있어서 몇가지 고려해야 하는 사항이 있다. 우선 스트레인 게이지를 부착하기 쉬운 구조가 되어야 하고 조립시의 오차를 줄이기 위하여 한 몸체로 제작되어야 한다. 이와 동시에 가장 중요하게 고려되어야 하는 인자로 감도를 위해 재료가 허용하는 응력내에서 되도록 큰 변형률이 발생해야 하고 상호 간섭 오차가 발생하지 말아야 한다. 본 연구에서는 수식을 이용하여 이론적으로 상호 간섭 오차를 0으로 만들 수 있었다. 또한 설계 변수 및 재료 물성치의 산포를 고려한 신뢰성 기반 최적설계 기법을 사용하였으며, 이를 통해 허용 응력하에서 최대의 변형률이 발생하는 바퀴동력계를 설계하였다.

The development of a Web-based powertrain performance simulation system is introduced. The development approach of system architecture and each module is introduced along with the H/W and S/W used. The interface with all users is developed via a JAVA Applet. The powertrain modeling and other job history data of a user is managed systematically on the server by database to increase the reusability of the data. A self-developed program using object-oriented programming is used as a solver for the performance simulation. The graph tool for the analysis of simulation results has the collaboration support developed based on JAVA so that synchronous users can view the same result. As a result, the powertrain simulation is possible only with Web-browser for the user and the collaboration support among the relevant engineers is possible.

The application of object-oriented modeling to develop a powertrain performance simulation program, called O-DYN, is introduced. Powertrain components, such as the engine, transmission, shaft, clutch are modeled as classes which have data and method by using object-oriented modeling methodology. O-DYN, a performance simulation program, based on the object-oriented modeling is made in C++. One powertrain simulation using O-DYN is proposed, and it is expected that the simulation program or individual class constructed in this paper would be useful for automotive engineers to predict the performance of powertrains and to develop a simulation program.

Main vibration problems of a transaxle type forklift truck are caused by the resonance of engine excitation force and natural mode shade of major components such as engine-mount system, mast, and main frame. But, it is well known that the reduction of vibration is very difficult because of the limitation of structural modifications. In this paper, the vibration characteristics of engine-mast system including engine mount were firstly identified by the experimental and simplified numerical methods. And also, the free and forced vibration characteristics of a whole forklift truck were surveyed with modal test and ODS(operation deflection shape) measurement. Based on these results, the reliable finite element model was developed. Finally, various countermeasures were considered and applied to a real forklift truck and then its effects were confirmed.

For this study, the multi-degree of freedom analysis model of torsional vibration was developed. This model is combined with mass moment of inertia and torsional spring in two wheel drive and four wheel drive vehicle. We compared and analyzed torsional vibration characteristics by natural frequencies and mode shapes which are obtained by free vibration analysis of this model. And we studied torsional vibration contribution of driveline elements by performing the forced vibration analysis of engine excitation torque. The validity of this model is demonstrated by the field test. The reduction effect of the torsional vibration along the driveline design factor is presented by the analytical results.

Automatic transmission for heavy duty vehicles is a part of the power pack which includes steering and braking systems. This transmission in different from the one for passenger car. Therefore, in order to understand the trend of the important design parameters, maneuverability, acceleration performance and maximum speed, we need to analyze the total performance characteristics of the power transmission systems. In this study, modeling of the automatic transmission in heavy duty vehicle is carried out and the performance analysis method is presented. Results can be used for performance estimation data in the analysis for several combination method which determines the optimal parameters on the basis of penalty functions and weightings. And the estimation method of the important performance parameters such as engine inertia or power loss of engine by experiments is presented.

The non-periodic fluctuation of the engine torque appears to be the major source of the torsional vibration of the automotive driveline. The reduction of this torsional vibration has become a significant problem along with the requirements of higher performance. The torsional vibration of the automotive driveline can be reduced by smoothing the fluctuation by adjusting the torsional characteristics of the clutch-disc. Computer simulation of the driveline is a useful investigative tool on studying the torsional characteristics of the clutch-disc. In this paper, a dynamic model for the automotive driveline was developed, and the engine torque of the model were evaluated with experimental data. By executing a simulation using the model, it has become possible to obtain the clutch-disc torsional characteristics for reducting the torsional vibration at creeping.
