An ambient hot-firing test was carried out for the hydrazine thruster which may be employed in the space launch vehicles. The thruster is designed to produce 67 N (15 $lb_f$) of nominal steady-state thrust at an inlet pressure of 2.41 MPa (350 psia). A scrutiny into the performance characteristics of thruster is made in terms of thrust, propellant supply pressure, mass flow rate, chamber pressure, and temperature at the steady-state firing mode. As a result, it is ensured that the practical performance efficiencies are above 89.1% compared to its ideal requirements.

This paper proposes a novel type of pressure control mechanism which can apply to vehicle ABS (anti-lock braking system) utilizing the piezoactuator based valve system associated with the pressure modulator. As a first step, a flapper-nozzle of a pneumatic valve system is devised by integrating the piezoacuator to the flexible beam structure. The dynamic modeling of the valve system is then undertaken and subsequently the governing equation of pressure control is derived considering the pressure modulator. A sliding mode controller is designed in order to achieve accurate pressure tracking control in the presence of actuator uncertainty as well as input pressure variation. It is shown through computer simulation that an accurate pressure tracking for sinusoidal motion whose magnitude is 40 bar is achieved by utilizing the proposed pressure control mechanism.

하이드라진 단기액체엔진을 장착하고 궤도에서 임무를 수행하고 있는 다목적실용 위성 추진시스템 궤도비행 초기운용 자료에 근거하여 추진제 소모율을 산정 한다. 추진시스템은 위성의 궤도각과 비행고도 조정을 위한 속도증분($\Delta$V) 및 자세제어를 위한 추력을 발생시킨다. 단기액체 추진시스템에서 추진제 소모량은 추력기 밸브의 개폐시간에 비례하고 추력 생성 효율은 추진제의 연소기 유입압력에 종속한다. 일정질량의 가압 기체 압력에 의해 연료를 공급하는 추진시스템에서 잔류 추진제 량의 감소는 연소기 유입압력의 감소를 유발하고 추진기관의 효율을 저하시키는 요인으로 작용하여 임무말기로 진행함에 따라 동일한 운동량 생성에 보다 많은 연료소모가 이루어진다.(중략)

An experimental study was carried out to control a shock-induced boundary layer separation by utilizing the supersonic sweeping jet from the fluidic oscillator. High-speed schlieren, surface flow visualization, wall pressure measurement and precise Pitot tube measurement were applied to observe the influences of the location and the supply pressure of the fluidic oscillator on the characteristics of the oblique-shock-induced boundary layer separation. The characteristics of the separation control by the present supersonic fluidic oscillator was quantitatively analyzed by comparing with a conventional control method utilizing an air-jet vortex generator.

In this paper, prototype dynamic modeling scheme to control ramjet propulsion systems were proposed. From the physical understandings of engine system, a typical 2nd-order system model was applied to simulate the dynamic characteristics of fuel supply system. The shock location varience in diffuser to chamber pressure fluctuation is calculated so that the out of phase between two signals was observed.

High-speed trains have been developed widely in European countries and Japan in order to transport large quantity of people and commodities in short time. Additionally, a high speed train is one of the most desirable and environmentally friendly transportation methods. When a high speed train enters a tunnel, aerodynamic resistance is generated suddenly. This resistance causes micro pressure wave and discomfort to passengers. Due to this aerodynamic pressure against the train, a large amount of traction is required for the operation of a train in a tunnel. Therefore, it is essential to incorporate a pressure relief system in a tunnel in order to reduce aerodynamic resistance caused by a high-speed train. A pressure relief duct and a vertical shaft are representative measures in a tunnel. This study represents the effect of pressure relief ducts in order to alleviate positive and negative normal pressures acting on a train. One-dimensional numerical simulations were carried out in order to estimate the effect of pressure relief systems.

This paper proposes a new type of piezoactuator-driven valve system. The piezoceramic actuator bonded to both sides of a flexible beam surface makes a movement required to control the pressure at the flapper-nozzle of a pneumatic valve system. After establishing a dynamic model, an appropriate size of the valve system is designed and manufactured. Subsequently, a robust H$_{\infty}$ control algorithm is formulated in order to achieve accurate tracking control of the desired pressure. The controller is experimentally realized and control performance for the sinusoidal pressure trajectory is presented in time domain. The control bandwidth of the valve system, which directly represents the fastness, is also evaluated in the frequency domain.

In this paper, a primary pressure regulating type ratio control system is developed for a metal belt CVT, and the CVT ratio changing characteristics are investigated by simulation and experiment. The hydraulic part of the ratio control system has a simple structure with one 3-way spool valve as a main ratio control valve and one bleed type variable force solenoid as a pilot valve. The mathematical modelling of the CVT hydraulic system is derived by considering the CVT shift dynamics. Simulation results of CVT speed ratio and the primary pressure agree with the experimental results demonstrating the validity of the dynamic models. It is found from the simulation and experimental results that the response time of speed ratio and primary pressure can be shortened by increasing the ratio control valve port area, and the size of feedback orifice of ratio control valve gives a damping effect on the primary pressure oscillation.

본 논문은 로봇이 처한 환경의 실시간 상황 인식을 위한 지능형 센서 인터페이스를 연구 개발하여 다양한 환경에서의 안정되고 유연한 이족 보행 로봇의 동적 보행 제어를 수행하였다. 자이로 및 가속도 센서를 적용한 실험을 통하여 간단한 보상만으로도 로봇의 안정도가 확연히 개선되는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 미지의 외력이 가해져 로봇이 불안정한 상태가 계속될 때 상체의 기울기 보정이 무게중심을 보다 안정된 영역쪽으로 이동시켜 곧바로 균형을 잡아준다. 또한 압력센서를 이용한 ZMP 측정과 이를 통한 균형 제어 실험 결과 뛰어난 보행을 구현할 수 있었다. 불규칙적인 지면에서도 발바닥에 가해지는 압력 분포가 변화하는 것을 이용하여 ZMP가 항상 로봇의 발바닥 지지 영역 안으로 오도록 제어하였다. 이것을 통해 로봇은 경사면을 보행하거나 기울기가 변하는 바닥에서 쓰러지지 않고 안정한 상태를 유지하였다.
