Torque ripple of the motor used in EPS raises vibration problem on steering system. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a optimum design for torque ripple reduction of Surface-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(SPMSM) in EPS. Through analyis back-EMF using Finite element method as changing the shape of permanent magnet and stator shoe, we presented the method of torque ripple redution.

In next-generation electric vehicles, research is being conducted on an in-wheel motor system that directly controls torque by each wheel to improve total cost and driving performance. Accordingly, in this paper, a study was conducted on an algorithm that distributes the torque applied to each wheel in a torque vectoring system applied to an in-wheel motor for driving an electric vehicle. In order to implement a vehicle model that applies actual vehicle characteristic parameters according to vehicle driving and steering, a simulation was conducted in the MATLAB Simulink environment, and it was confirmed that torque distribution was performed according to the proposed algorithm.

본 논문은 3상 PMSM 동작 중 한 개의 상이 고장이 났을 경우, 2상을 통하여 고장허용 동작을 하는데 있어서 발생하는 토크 리플 저감 방법에 대하여 연구를 하였다. 기존의 방법들이 기본파 주파수로 회전하는 동기좌표계상에서 전향 보상 방식으로 교류 성분의 전류를 제어함으로써 토크 리플을 보상하는 데에 반해 제안한 방법은 기본파 주파수의 2배수로 회전하는 동기좌표계상에서 직류 성분의 전류로 토크 리플을 보상하기 때문에, 저속 운전뿐만 아니라 고속 운전시에도 그 보상 특성이 매우 우수하다. 제안한 방법은 자동차용 전동식 조향 시스템에 적용하여 그 유효성을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

This paper describes a fault-tolerant driving control strategy for an independent steer-by-wire system in sixwheel-drive/six-wheel-steering vehicles. An algorithm has been designed to realize vehicle maneuverability that is as close as possible to that of non-faulty vehicles by inducing high slip ratio of the wheel through a faulty steer-by-wire system in order to reduce the lateral tire force, which is resistant to the yaw motion. Considering the transition of the longitudinal tire force of a wheel with a faulty steer-by-wire component, the longitudinal tire forces are optimally distributed to the other wheels. Fault-tolerant driving performance has been investigated via computer simulations. Simulation studies show that the proposed algorithm can significantly improve the maneuverability of a vehicle with a faulty steer-by-wire system as compared to the optimal traction distribution method.

Biomechanical analysis of arm motion during steering was performed using a motion analysis technique. Three-dimensional position data for each part of arm are fed into an interactive model combining a musculoskeletal arm model and the mechanical steering system to calculate joint angles and torques using inverse kinematic and dynamic analyses, respectively. The analysis shows that elbow pronation/supination, wrist flexion/extension, shoulder adduction/abduction, and shoulder flexion/extension have significant magnitudes. Sensitivity analysis of the arm joint motion with respect to seating posture and steering wheel configuration is carried out to investigate the qualitative influence of the seating posture and driver's seat configuration on the steering behavior.

In this study, the loader was completed that has 4-wheel gear driven drivetrain of study (Ⅰ), the 4-wheel steering with power wheel type, all-wheel traction system, and joy-stick type lever for hydraulic control valve. From driving test of the developed 4WD and 4WS type loader, we obtained that the minimum circling radius and the necessary width in circling motion reduced about 40% and 33% compared with 2WS type loader. Also, all-wheel traction system could keep the tires glued to the ground with greater stability, the power steering allowed a smoother operation, and the joy-stick type lever offered easily to control. Thus, the developed loader having these functions was very fit in a small cattle shed or rugged ground.

This study proposes and validates a new column type electric power steering system (EPS-TT). It is driven by a uni-directional motor and two electro-magnetic clutches. The assist motor produces assist torque in only one direction and two clutches transmit the torque to the column of steering system in either left or right direction with respect to the steering input. A full order and a reduced order models are developed to evaluate the EPS-TT. Models are also used to investigate the vehicle responses. A PID control logic is designed to control the torque of the assist motor. A driver model is applied to the system and the resulting performances are analyzed. The results show that the performances of the full order model are similar to those of reduced order model. The results also prove that the performances achieved by the EPS-TT are improved compared to those of a conventional EPS-TT across the frequency domain.

In this paper, a new structure to improve the resolution of an inductive torque sensor is proposed. The new coupling structure and the change of number of turns for the receiving coil increase the resolution of the torque sensor. Because this torque sensor has non-contact points, it has no abrasion at the contact point, and is very durable. Also, the torque sensor has less variation due to vibration or strain, and it has a good EMC(Electromagnetic Compatibility) and thermal characteristics.
