The accurate prediction of leakage flow through the brush element of brush seal at the steam turbine is important to find optimum design parameters for increasing an efficiency. In this study, CFD analysis method using commercial software FLUENT is proposed to predict leakage through the brush element. Since the brush element has a complex three-dimensional shape with many bristle assemblies, it is difficult to analyze the flow field. Therefore, if the brush element is assumed to be porous medium region, the analysis time can be shortened. Two determination methods of resistance coefficients of the Darcian porous medium equation are suggested. By comparing the 2D and 3D CFD analysis results for the leakage of the brush element using the two resistance coefficient determination methods, the effectiveness of the analysis for the porous medium assumption is proved.

The DC motor in a vehicle may cause noise and vibration because of high speed revolution, which can make a driver feel uncomfortable. There have been various studies attempting to solve these problems, focusing mostly on the causes of and ways to reduce noise and vibration. It is suggested that the noise in a DC motor may be primarily due to interaction between a brush and a commutator. Brush noise, the most common noise in a DC motor, results from a brush bounced from the surface of the commutator, fluctuation of the friction between the brush and the commutator, and the impact on the brush when passing over slots of the commutator. Based on the noise test, one of the most important design parameters was shown to be the roundness of the commutator. As the DC motor is used, the roundness of the commutator gets bigger with subsequent increase of the level of brush noise and vibration. There must be a threshold in order to prevent the brush noise from getting worse. Using the method of CAE is more efficient than the real test for purposes of looking for various design parameters to maintain the roundness of the commutator. In this study, the design process to reduce the brush noise is presented with the use of a computer model. The design parameters to reduce the brush noise and vibration are proposed by using FEM. The design parameters are used to reduce the noise and vibration of a DC motor and it is verified with the test results on a fan DC motor in a vehicle. This method may be applicable to various DC motor.

본 논문에서는 브러쉬없는 직류전동기의 위치제어를 위한 직접적응 퍼지가변구조제어기를 설계한다. 가변구조제어는 시스템의 파라메터 변화나 외란에 둔감한 특성을 갖는 반면 떨림현상의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 떨림현상의 진폭은 시스템의 불확실정보를 최악의 상태로 가정한 후 결정되므로, 기존의 가변구조제어에서는 그 크기가 너무 크다. 또한 이런 불확실한 요소들의 최대값은 찾아내기도 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 불확실한 요소의 최대값을 최적으로 추정하기 위하여 퍼지 추론 기법을 사용한다. 아울러 소속함수의 원소들을 직접적응 기법에 의하여 자동 조정할 수 있는 기법을 추가한다. 이를 통하여 우수한 제어 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 확인한다.

Vibration of a BLDC motor is a coupled phenomenon between mechanical characteristics and magnetic origins through the motor air-gap. When a relative misalignment of rotor in the air-gap center exists on the assemblage it is considered to influence the motor system characteristics, depending on the degree of misalignment. The rotor-motor system used in a washing machine is modeled using FE-TM and a magnetic force of BLDC motor with radial rotor eccentricity is analyzed. And the transient whirl responses of a rotor system with relative misalignment in the motor air-gap are investigated considering mechanical origins and magnetic effects. Results show that rotor misalignment in the air-gap affect the vibration of the rotor-motor system.

With the wide use of mobile phones, a paging signal by a sound transducer acts as an environmental noise on many occasions, thus necessitating an alternative paging signal by a vibration motor. Conventional vibration motors employ three-phase windings with mechanical brushes for commutation. In this paper, a new one-phase brushless and sensorless vibration motor is introduced utilizing digital signal processor chips in cell-phones. For electromagnetic field analysis, two-dimensional modeling can be implemented to determine the back electromotive force using axisymmetric boundary conditions. Geometric design parameters, such as coil pitch and magnet pitch. are considered for performance optimization. Through the experiments, it is shown that the proposed design has the equivalent performance with reduced number of parts, thus enhancing manufacturing productivity and reducing manufacturing cost.

Vibration of disk drive spindle is one of the major limiting factors in achieving higher track densities in hard disk drives. Vibration of a BLDC motor is a coupled phenomenon between mechanical characteristics and magnetic origins through the motor air-gap. In this paper, radial magnetic forces for symmetric and asymmetric BLDC motor are calculated with respect to the various rotor eccentricity using analytic method. Based on the results of the radial magnetic forces, transient whirl responses of the spindle motor are analyzed using finite element and transfer matrices. Results show that an asymmetric motor has a worse effects on unbalanced magnetic forces and vibration when mechanical and magnetic coupling exists.

As enforced the regulation of fuel efficiency, the electrification of automotive components in internal combustion vehicle has been applied instead of hydraulic pressure. A typical example of such parts is the EPS (electric power steering), and it is applied to most automotive at present. In electric power steering system, the core component is motor. The reduction of cogging torque and torque ripple is required to improve steering feeling and reduce NVH (Noise Vibration Harshness) in EPS. Generally the skewed design of stator or rotor is applied in order to reduce cogging torque and torque ripple. This paper propose the design and analysis methodology of Brusheless PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) which is applied to skewed stator. The proposed methodology is as follows: First Intial Design PMSM with skewed stator for EPS, Second Optimal design using RSM (Response surface method), Third Performance Analysis such as Phase Back EMF, Inductance, Load torque using FEA (Finite Element Method). Finally, the reliability of proposed design methodology will be verified through the experiments of prototype sample.

기존의 페인팅 소프트웨어들은 결과적인 면에서 실제 그림과 유사한 결과를 추구할 뿐, 실제 붓의 움직임이나 터치를 사실적으로 재현하려고 하지는 않았다. 이 논문에서는 수묵화를 그리는데 중요한 두 가지 요소 용묵법(用墨法)과 운필법(運筆法)중에서 붓을 운용하는 방법인 운필법(運筆法)을 컴퓨터 그래픽을 통해서 사실적으로 재현하고자 하였다. 이를 위해서 붓을 운용하는데 필요한 수묵 운필의 모든 동작을 캡쳐할 수 있는 5개의 자유도를 가지는 타블렛을 이용하였다. 손으로부터 붓으로, 붓으로부터 물과 먹을 매개로, 종이에 먹이 전달되는 전체 과정을 재현할 수 있는 모델을 설정하고, 이에 따라 사실적인 수묵화 필법을 구현하기 위해 3차원의 붓의 모델, 3차원의 변형 모델, 붓의 털 모델, 교차면 모델), 먹물의 침전 모델 (Ink Deposition Model)로 설정하였고, 이를 통해 실제 수묵화를 그리는 과정과 동일한 제작과정을 통해서 사실적인 붓의 움직임과 번짐이 구현된 수묵화와 유사한 결과물을 얻어낼 수 있었다. 또한 종이에 전달되는 먹과 물의 양을 정확하게 조절하기 위해서 붓의 털과, 교차지점 그리고 종이 모델을 제작하였고, 이들을 통해서 실제 수묵화의 필법을 사실적으로 시뮬레이션 하였다.

Acoustic noise and vibration of a BLDC motor is a coupled phenomenon between mechanical characteristics and electromagnetic origins through the motor air-gap. When a relative misalignment of rotor in the air-gap center exists on the assemblage, it is considered to influence the motor system characteristics. In this paper, the back electro motive force(BEMF) is analyzed by Finite Element Method(FEM) and verified by experiments for the SPM and IPM type motors. For magnetic field analysis, a FEM is used to account for the magnetic saturation. Using these results, the FEM is made to determine the appropriate electromagnetic field analysis in BLDC motors with rotor eccentricity ratio. A radial magnetic imbalance force of BLDC motor with rotor eccentricity is analyzed. Results demonstrate that the imbalance force is increased according to the degree of misalignment. An IPM motor, mostly chosen to realize high-speed operation, shows a worse effect on magnetic unbalanced forces and dynamic responses compared with SPM motor due to magnetic saturation when the rotor eccentricity exists.
