Dynamic behaviors of the two-span continuous bridge which is one of prototypes on Gyoung-Bu high-speed railway are analyzed and some methods for reducing the resonance of the bridge are proposed. The bridge is modeled as a two-span continuous beam and the load is a vehicle of TGV-K (2p+18T) with length of 380.15 meter traveling on the railway bridge at some constant velocity. The equations governing the dynamic behaviors of the bridge are partial differential equations produced by using a system with distributed mass and elasticity. The analysis of the governing equations is performed by the mode superposition method which has modal coordinates solved by Duhamel's integral. Without considering the train velocity the dynamic reponses can be greatly reduced at some special lengths of bridge. It is different from the results of simple bridges researched so far. When the dynamic responses increase rapidly to make a resonance phenomenon depending on the train velocities, the several methods are proposed to deduce the resonance.

In this paper, a novel motor control method is proposed to improve the performance of sensorless drive of BLDC motors. In the terminal voltage sensing method, which is a great portion of sensorless control, a precise rotor position cannot be obtained when excessive input is applied to the drive during synchronous operation mode. Especially in the transient state, the response characteristic decreases. To cope with this problem, the unknown input (back-EMF) is modelled as the additional state of system in this paper. Taking into account the disturbance adopted by the back-EMF, the observer can be obtained by the augmented system equation. An algorithm to detect the back-EMF of the BLDC motor using the state observer is constructed. As a result, the novel sensorless drive of BLDC motors that can strictly estimate rotor position and speed is proposed.

Oxy-coal combustion for $CO_2$ capture in coal power plants entails a mode switching from air-firing to oxyfiring. In this study, procedure of the mode switching was investigated and discussed through experiments in pilot scale facilities: (1) a 0.3 $MW_{th}$ furnace with a vertical single burner and a FGR(Flue Gas Recirculation) system (2) a 1 $MW_{th}$ furnace with horizontal 4 burners and a FGR system. Principle of the mode switching was established and performed with control of FD fan, FGR fan, ID fan and oxygen flow rates. We have found that equivalence ratio in the oxy-firing mode should be increased more than that in the air-firing to achieve stable mode switching. Control of FD, ID and FGR fans should be performed carefully in the mode switching, in the sense of complete combustion and flame attachment. Moisture contents in the ash and the flue gas recycled to the primary oxidizer stream should be removed to prevent condensation, corrosion and duct clogging.

In the control of robot manipulators, this paper presents a design of a new variable structure model following controller(VSMFC) using computed torque method (CTM). A sufficient condition for the existence of a sliding mode is derived by Lyapunov function. The reference model is a double integrators and the acceleration input consists of a proportional-derivative controller for the purpose of the stabilization of system and the desired performance. The proposed control scheme which consists of upper bounded and estimated value of each term of the manipulator of matrix inversion. Therefore the simulation results show that this controller is improved to the convergence of desired trajectories.

본 논문에서는 전기유동유체(Electro-Rheological Fluid : ERF)를 함유하는 지능구조물의 동적 모델링 및 진동제어를 수행하였다. 먼저 실리콘 오일을 기본용매로 하여 조성된 ERF의 복소 전단모듈러스를 전장부하와 가진 주파수의 함수로 동적 회전모드 실험을 통하여 도출한 후, 이를 샌드위치 보 이론과 연계하여 동적 모델링을 실시하였다. 도출된 6차 편미분방정식 형태의 지배 방정식을 유한요소 모델로 이산화하여 전장부하에 따른 지능구조물의 동탄성 특성값인 감쇠 고유 주파수 및 모달 손실계수를 주파수 영역에서 얻었다. 그리고 ERF를 함유한 샌드위치 형태의 지능구조물을 제작한 후 실험적으로 얻은 동탄성 특성값과 모델에 의해 예측된 동탄성 특성값을 비교 고찰하여 제시된 동적 모델에 대한 타당성을 입증하였다. 또한 모델을 통해 전장부하 함수로 예측된 주파수 응답곡선 중에서 각 주파수 대역에 대해 최소 변위가 되는 응답곡선을 요구응답으로 설정한 후, 그에 해당하는 전장부하를 선정하는 논리적인 능동 진동제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제어알고리즘의 유용성을 입증하기 위해 실험적으로 수행된 능동 진동제어 결과를 주파수영역과 시간영역에서 제시하였다.

In this paper, we design a dynamic state feedback smooth stabilizer for a nonlinear system whose Jacobian linearization may have uncontrollable mode because its eigenvalues are on the right half-plane. After designing an augmented system, a dynamic exponent scaling and backstepping enable one to explicitly design a smooth stabilizer and a continuously differentiable Lyapunov function which is positive definite and proper. The convergence of the designed controller is proved by the new notion 'degree indicator'.

In this paper, the equations of the scaled boundary finite element method are derived for non-homogeneous half plane and analyzed numerically In the scaled boundary finite element method, partial differential equations are weaken in the circumferential direction by approximation scheme such as the finite element method, and the radial direction of equations remain in analytical form. The scaled boundary equations of non-homogeneous half plane, its elastic modulus varies as power function, are newly derived by the virtual work theory. It is shown that the governing equation of this problem is the Euler-Cauchy equation, therefore, the logarithm mode used in the half plane problem is not valid in this problem. Two numerical examples are analysed for the verification and the feasibility.

In underwater environment, the control of AUV is difficult, because of the existence of parameter uncertainties and disturbances as well as highly nonlinear and coupled system dynamics. The requirement for the simple and robust controller which works satisfactorily in those dynamical uncertainties, call for a design using the PD or sliding mode controller. The PD controller is very popular controller in the industrial field and the sliding mode controller has been used successfully for the AUV controller design. In this paper, the two controllers arc designed for ISiMI(Integrated Submergible Intelligent Mission Implementation) AUV and the performances are compared by numerical simulation under the modeling uncertainty and disturbances. The design process of PD and sliding mode controller for ISiMI AUV and simulation results are included to compare the performances of the two controllers.

The conventional noise control attempts to simply reduce the level of product noise. But it is very straight forward way that we have considered human perception on noise. Since human listening is very sensitive to sound. Evaluation of the sound quality of a vacuum cleaner is studied base on human sensibility engineering. In this paper, we choose six vacuum cleaners that are sold in Korea and reduced noise control. The sound quality of vacuum cleaner noise is analyzed by employing the subjective evaluation and by representing them in terms of the objective quantities. Semantic differential method is used to study sound quality Evaluation. To analyze the sound quality of vacuum cleaner noise, consider the coefficients of correlation between sound metrics and subjective rating. The linear regression models were obtained for the subjective evaluation and sound quality metrics.

This paper presents a technique to control a robot which has a flexible manipulator moving in a vertical plane. The flexible manipulator is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam. Elastic deformation is represented using the assumed modes method. A comparison function which satisfies all geometric and natural boundary conditions of a cantilever beam with an end mass is used as an assumed mode shape. Lagrange's equation is utilized for the development of a discretized model. A control algorithm is developed using a simple PID control technique. The proportional, integral and derivative control gains are determined based on the dominant pole placement method and tuned to show no overshoot and having a short settling time. The effectiveness of the developed control scheme is showed experimentally. In the position control experiment, three different end masses are used. The experimental results shows little overshoot, no steady state error, and less than 2.5 second settling time in case of having an end mass which is equivalent to 45% of the total system weight. Also the residual vibration of the end point is effectively controlled.
