Tuning of the speed controller in the linear servo applications needs the accurate information of a mover mass including a load mass. Therefore this paper proposes the mass estimation method of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor(PMLSM) applied at the vertical axis by using the recursive Least-Squares estimation algorithm. First, this paper derives the deterministic autoregressive moving average(DARMA) model of the mechanical dynamic system used at the vertical axis. The application of the Least-Squares algorithm to the derived DARMA model gives the mass estimation method. Matlab/Simulink-based simulation and experimental results show that the total mover mass of a PMLSM applied at the vertical axis can be accurately estimated at both no-load and load conditions.

In order to tune the speed controller in the linear servo applications an accurate information of a mover mass including a load mass is always required. This paper suggests the mass estimation method of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor(PMLSM) 4y using the parameter estimation method of Least-Squares algorithm. First, the deterministic autoregressive moving average(DARMA) model of the mechanical dynamic system is derived. Then the application of the Least-Squares algorithm shows that the mass can be accurately estimated both in the simulation results and in the experimental results.

Sco OB1의 핵심성단 NGC 6231를 호주 Siding Spring 천문대 1m 망원경을 사용하여 -40'${\times}$40' 영역을 관측하였다. 측광자료를 바탕으로 성단의 반경, 성간소광 법칙, 나이 및 초기질량함수를 결정하였다. 성단의 반지름은 구성원의 질량에 상관없이 거의 10' ($R{\approx}4.6pc$)으로 동일한 값을 보였다. 전체적으로는 정상적인 성간소광 법칙을 따르지만, 성단의 중심으로 갈수로 큰 $R_V$를 보여주며, 이는 과거에 있었을 것으로 추정되는 초신성의 효과로 추정된다. 질량이 큰 별과 X-선으로 선택된 성단의 전주계열성은 비슷한 평균나이를 보이지만 전주계열성은 훨씬 큰 나이분산을 보였다. 성단전체 초기질량함수의 기울기는 Salpeter 초기질량함수의 기울기와 매우 유사한 ${\Gamma}$=-1.1${\pm}$0.1을 보였으며, 성단 중심거리에 따른 초기질량함수의 기울기는 -1.0${\pm}$0.2에서 -1.8${\pm}$0.5까지 체계적으로 변화를 하였다. 질량이 큰 O형 별의 쌍성비율이 중심거리에 따른 변화를 보이지 않음에 비추어 볼 때, NGC 6231의 질량분리 양상은 역학적 진화의 결과가 아니라 원초적 질량분리현상으로 결론을 내릴 수 있다.

The lifetime of a geostationary satellite depends on the residual propellant amount and therefore the precise residual propellant gauging is very important for the mitigation of economic loss arised from premature removal of satellite from its orbit, satellites replacement planning, slot management and so on. In this paper, the thermal mass method and its uncertainty are described. The residual propellant analysis of a geostationary satellite is simulated based on the KOREASAT data and the uncertainty of thermal mass method is calculated by using the Monte Carlo method. The results of this study show the importance parameter of estimation residual propellant using the thermal mass method.

Structural health monitoring involves performance evaluation based on measurements for maintenance purposes. By back-calculating measured Frequency Response Function (FRF) data, the concept of effective mass was introduced and applied to the performance evaluation of structural members. An identification method was proposed that uses participation factors to estimate the dynamic parameters and the strength of concrete of structural members. The appropriateness of these methods for identifying dynamic parameters and concrete strength of structural members was validated through experimental results, proving their utility in non-destructive testing for concrete strength.

Vehicle rollover is a serious kind of accident, particularly for sport utility vehicles, and its occurrence can be minimized by utilizing active rollover prevention systems. The performance of these protection systems is very sensitive to vehicle inertial parameters such as the vehicle's mass and center of mass. These parameters vary with the number of passengers and in different load situations. In this paper, a unified method for vehicle mass estimation is proposed that takes into account the available driving conditions. Three estimation algorithms are developed based on longitudinal, lateral, and vertical vehicle motion, respectively. Then, the three algorithms are combined to extract information on the vehicle's mass during arbitrary vehicle maneuvering. The performance of the proposed vehicle mass estimation method is demonstrated through real-time experiments.

In this paper, we propose a turbine mass flow rate model for a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) using an artificial neural network (ANN). The model predicts the turbine mass flow rate using the VGT vane position, engine rotational speed, exhaust manifold pressure, exhaust manifold temperature, and turbine outlet pressure. The ANN is used for the estimation of the effective flow area. In order to validate the results estimated by the proposed model, we have compared estimation results with engine experimental results. The results, in addition, represent improved estimation accuracy when compared with the performance using the turbine map.

The estimated slosh model parameters are in good agreement with the results of the theoretical calculations for various liquid depths. Furthermore, this methodology will be applied to predict the sloshing parameters for a liquid propellant tank using ground experimental test-bed.

This paper deals with the estimation method on the initial pole position of a z-axis permanent magnet linear synchronous motor(PMLSM) without magnetic pole sensors such as Hall sensors. The proposed method takes account of the gravitational force at z-axis and also the load conditions. The algorithm consists of two steps. The first step is to approximately estimate the initial q-axis by monitoring the movements due to the test current at predefined different test q-axes. The second step is to estimate the real q-axis as accurately as possible by using the outputs corresponding to torques due to the test current at three different test q-axes in order to avoid the effect of load mass variations. Experimental results on the z-axis PMLSM show good estimation characteristics of the proposed method irrespective of load mass conditions.
