The degradation of durability and increase of fatigue on the ship are mainly caused by vibration of the engine and rotating machineries. The damper to minimize the influence from vibration is usually attached between the machineries and its base. General damper applied on the vessel is passive damper which is designed to attenuate specified frequency signals, i.e, high frequency vibration signals. But it is hard to anticipate its performance for low frequency signals. In this research, active vibration isolator using VCM is developed to suppress wide band vibration signals. Routh-Huritz's stable condition, ultimate sensitivity method and parameter tuning are applied to derive PID parameters and 2 and 4 phase choppers are also adapted to drive VCM. Simulation and experiments are executed to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes.

A study is performed for the effective detection method of a fault which is occurred during operation in a small turbojet engine with non-linear characteristics used by unmanned air vehicle. For this study the non-linear dynamic model of the engine is derived from transient thermodynamic cycle analysis. Also for inducing real operation conditions the controller is developed associated with unscented Kalman filter to estimate noises. Sequential probability ratio test is introduced as a real time method to detect a fault which is manipulated for simulation as a malfunction of rotational speed sensor contaminated by large amount of noise. The method applied to the fault detection during operation verifies its effectiveness and high feasibility by showing good and definite decision performances of the fault.

The purpose of this study is to design the adaptive speed control system of a marine diesel engine by combining the Model Matching Method and the Nominal Model Tracking Method. The authors proposed already a new method to determine efficiently the PID control Parameters by the Model Matching Method. typically taking a marine diesel engine as a non-oscillatory second-order system. But. actually it is very difficult to find out the exact model of a diesel engine. Therefore, when diesel engine model and actual diesel engine are unmatched as an another approach to promote the speed control characteristics of a marine diesel engine, this paper Proposes a Model Reference Adaptive Speed Control system of a diesel engine, in which PID control system for the model of a diesel engine is adopted as the nominal model and Fuzzy controller and derivative operator are adopted as the adaptive controller.

In this paper, an integrated nonlinear sliding mode observer and controller has been designed in order to control of an automotive engine idle speed. The primary objective of the engine idle speed control is to maintain the desired engine idle speed despite of various torque disturbances via estimating air mass flow at the location of the injector in intake manifold by using a sliding mode observer. Simulation results show that the case where both throttle angle and ignition time are used as control inputs outperforms the case where just only throttle angle is used as a control input.

The propulsion marine diesel engine has been widely applied with a mechanical-hydraulic governor to control the ship speed for long time. But it was recently very difficult for the mechanical-hydraullic governor to control the speed of engine under the condition of low speed and low load because of jiggling and hunting by rough fluctuation of rotating torque. To solve these problems of control systems, the performance improvement of mechanical-hydraulic governor is required. In this paper, in order to analyze the speed stability of control systems, the influence of parameters of the engine dead time, gain, damping ratio was discussed on the view of control engineering. The performance improvement of a conventional mechanical hydraulic governor is confirmed to be possible by fuzzy control scheme.

An effective real time fault diagnosis approach for UAV engine is drawn from IMM filter and GLRT methods. For this purpose based on the linear diagnosis model derived from engine dynamic performance analysis the Kalman filter for residual estimation and each method are applied to the fault diagosis of the actuator for engine control sensors. From the process of the IMM filter application the effective FDI measure is obtained and the state responses due to actuator fault are estimated. Likewise from the GLRT method the fault magnitudes of actuator and sensors are estimated associated with some FDI functionings. The numerical simulations verify the effectiveness of the IMM filter for FDI and the GLRT in estimating the fault magnitudes of each fault mode.

Since sea state changes engine load instantaneously, the speed governing apparatus is essential for marine engine to maintain constant speed regardless of the load. As governing apparatuses, mechanical, pneumatic, and electric governors have been employed. But, recently, according to the introduction of low speed-ling stroke engines to increase thermal efficiency, the development of governor which has better response characteristics is requisite. In this paper, to design the governor that meets above requirement, author made a performance test for the existing PID control digital governor with the aid of computer simulation, and investigated digital governor applying the optimal control algorithm, then, executed computer simulation by the same way. As the result of simulations, found that the former let engine have large overshoot and long settling time at low speed, on the other hand, the latter made engine have better response. If we design and invent a good observer for delay time element so that the optimal control theory can be applied, better governor will be expected.

Compressors in Large Multi-room air conditioning system are often driven by gas heat pumps. The advantages of GHP are their high level of heating performance and low cost because they use the LNG fuel to drive engine. We developed engine control system. The developed system controls engine speed based on proportional, integral and derivative (PID) method. This controller is designed to eliminate the need for continuous operator attention on engine revolution control. The control system includes 4 spark coil drivers, fuel drivers and relay drivers to make engine's operating more stable. The experiments of control engine revolution of this system are based on the various load conditions.

This paper presents vibration control performance of a passenger vehicle installed with olectro-rheological(ER) engine mounts. As a first step, a mixed-mode ER engine mount is modeled and manufactured. After verifying the controllability of the dynamic stiffness by the intensity of the electric field, ER engine mounts are incorporated with a full-car model. The governing equation of motion is then formulated by considering engine excitation force. A skyhook controller to attenuate vibration motions is designed. The controller is implemented through hardware-in-the-loop simulation and control responses are presented in the both frequency and time domains.

The conventional PID controller has been widely used in many industrial control system because engineers can easily understand how to deal with three parameters of PID controller. The conventional tuning methods, however, have a tendency depend on experience and experiment. In this paper a real-coded genetic algorithm is used to search for the optimal parameters of PID controller for marine diesel engine. Simulation results compared with conventional PID controller tuning methods show the effectiveness and good performance of proposed scheme.
