This paper presents a method of optimizing the blade pitch and generator torque controllers which have been already designed for an existing wind turbine generator system. Since the highly nonlinear and uncertain characteristics of the wind turbine generator can not be fully considered in the controller design phase, some parameters such as control gains must be tuned during the field implementation phase. In this paper, nonlinear simulation software, which is based high fidelity wind turbine model, and optimization technique are effectively combined and used to tune a set of gains for the blade pitch and the generator torque controllers. Simulation results show that the baseline controllers can be effectively optimized to reduce the errors in wind turbine rotor speed and generator power output controls as well as twisting of the high and low speed shafts.

반도체 공정 등에서 10-6~10-8 Torr의 고진공 환경을 제공하기 위하여 사용되는 고진공 터보분자펌프 (Turbomolecular Pump, TMP)는 다층의 회전깃을 갖는 로터를 회전시켜 분자를 배출시키는 방식을 사용하는 진공펌프이다. 또한 최근에는 디스플레이 및 반도체 공정에서 높은 진공도뿐만 아니라, 높은 배기속도를 요구하는 추세에 따라, 터보 펌프와 드래그 펌프부분을 동시에 가지고 있어 상대적으로 작동 진공도 영역이 넓은 복합 분자펌프(Compound Turbomolecular Pump, CMP)의 활용도가 넓어지고 있다. 이러한 분자펌프가 장시간의 고속회전에 적합하도록 비접촉 방식인 자기부상 방식의 적용이 최근 거의 표준화되어 있다. 자기베어링 시스템은 전자기력을 이용하여 자성체인 회전축을 부상지지 함으로써 비접촉 고속 회전이 가능하여 윤활이 용이하지 않은 진공 환경 등 가혹한 환경에 적합하며, 터보분자펌프는 자기베어링이 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 분야이기도 하다. 자기베어링 시스템의 설계는 크게 하드웨어와 소프트웨어로 나누어질 수 있는데, 하드웨어의 경우 전체 로터 시스템의 특성을 고려하여 설계되어야 하며, 주로 자기베어링 코어와 코일, 변위센서 및 전력 증폭 시스템 등의 기전적인 요소들이 이루어져 있다. 하드웨어 설계와 함께 제어시스템의 설계도 매우 중요하며, 이는 자기베어링 시스템이 불안정한 특성을 갖는 개루프계를 갖고 있으므로 안정화를 위한 능동제어 시스템이 필수적이며 진동제어 등 여러 가지 기능이 요구되기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 자기부상형 고진공 복합분자펌프의 제어를 위한 선형제어시스템의 구성을 실제 시스템의 적용을 통하여 설명하였다. 각 제어기는 DSP 를 이용한 디지털 제어시스템으로 구성되었으며, 2, 500 l/s 급의 복합 분자펌프 시작품에 적용하여 10,000 rpm까지의 기본성능시험을 수행하였다.

In the equipment industry such as chemical plants, high temperature, high pressure, and toxic fluids move between various facilities through piping. The movement and damage of pipes due to changes in the surrounding environment such as temperature changes, vibrations, earthquakes, and ground subsidence often lead to major accidents involving personal injury. In order to prevent such an accident, various types of expansion joints are used to absorb and supplement various shocks applied to the pipe to prevent accidents in advance. Therefore, it is very important to measure the deformation of the used expansion joint and predict its lifespan to prevent a major accident. In this paper, the deformation of the expansion joint was understood as a kind of motion, and the change was measured using a Hall Effect Sensor and a 9-Axis Sensor. In addition, we studied a system that can predict the deformation of expansion joints by collecting and analyzing the measured data using a general-purpose microcomputer (Arduino Board) and C language.

This study was carried out to analyze the properties of the gel propellant and spray characteristics according to the addition of fine particles. The multi-hole diameter was 0.4 mm to induce a high shear rate, and a kerosene gel propellant was prepared using 5 wt% of the Thixatrol ST and SUS304 of 100 nm. The experiment was conducted by fixing the supply pressure in the axial direction to 0.7 MPa and adjusting the supply pressure in the radial direction from 0.7 MPa to 2.1 MPa. Due to the addition of fine particles, pressure vibration during spraying, a small TMR(Total Momentum Ratio) of up to 0.19, and a phenomenon that the spraying angle rapidly increased to more than 70 degrees occurred.

Korean bell is a macroscopically axi-symmetrical structure, but has a slight asymmetry due to complex patterns and casting irregularity. Small asymmetry separates one vibration mode into a mode pair with slight frequency difference. The mode pair interferes and creates a beat. The vivid beat with an appropriate period makes the bell sound magnificent and lively feeling. In this study, we propose a method to make the vivid beat using artificial dumshoi. This method creates the vivid beat by designing artificial dumshoi that overwhelms the bell asymmetry. To this end, the asymmetry of Korean bell is quantified by analyzing the beat period data of a number of Korean bells cast in modern times. Based on the measured beat period data, the magnitude of asymmetry is quantified using an equivalent bell model and artificial dumshoi is applied. The movement of mode pair by dumshoi is predicted through finite element analysis. Finally, a design example of the artificial dumshoi for clear beat is introduced.

In this paper, we propose a WiFi-based joystick with an acceleration sensor and a vibration sensor that can be used in flight simulators and VR fields. The flight simulator is a technology belonging to the ICT and SW application field and provides a simulation environment that reproduces the aircraft environment. Existing flight simulator control devices are fixed to a specific device and the user's activity area is limited. In this paper, a 3D space manipulation device was implemented for the user's free use of space. In addition, the proposed control device is designed as a WiFi communication board and display that displays information and performs 3-axis sensing for accurate and sophisticated control compared to existing VR equipment controllers. And the applicability was confirmed by implementing a Unity-based virtual environment. As a result of the implementation device verification, it was confirmed that the control device operates normally through the communication interface, It was confirmed that the sensing values in the game and the sensing values measured on the implemented board matched each other. The results of this study can be used for VR and various metaverse related contents in addition to flight simulators.

In this paper, we propose a method to improve texture recognition performance from haptic acceleration signals representing the texture characteristics of object surface materials by using a Conformer model that combines the advantages of a convolutional neural network and a transformer. In the proposed method, three-axis acceleration signals generated by impact sound and vibration are combined into one-dimensional acceleration data while a person contacts the surface of the object materials using a tool such as a stylus , and the logarithmic Mel-spectrogram is extracted from the haptic acceleration signal similar to the audio signal. Then, Conformer is applied to the extracted the logarithmic Mel-spectrogram to learn main local and global frequency features in recognizing the texture of various object materials. Experiments on the Lehrstuhl für Medientechnik (LMT) haptic texture dataset consisting of 60 materials to evaluate the performance of the proposed model showed that the proposed method can effectively recognize the texture of the object surface material better than the existing methods.

The ultrasonic transient fields and B-mode images of a point target which were simulated for a medical ultrasonic probe with a few defective piezo-elements were compared with those for a normal probe. The present study considered a 3.5 MHz linear array probe whose acoustic beam was formed by the 64 active elements of total 192 elements. The results showed that the maximum amplitude and -3 dB width of the acoustic fields by main-lobes decreased linearly as the defective element number increased from one to four. However, the depths of foci remained almost unchanged, and the pressure differences between main-lobes and side-lobes tended to decrease due to rise in pressures in side-lobes. Such changes in ultrasonic fields affected the B-mode images of point targets. So the artifacts were formed in the right and left side of the target, and the lateral spatial resolutions were decreased while the axial resolution was almost the same.

The Iksan Jurassic Granite shows relatively less fractures and homogeneous rock fabrics, and is one of the most popular stone materials for architectures and sculptures. Almost mutually perpendicular rift, grain, and halfway in the Iksan Jurassic Granite are well known to quarrymen based on its splitting directions, and therefore it should exhibit orthorhombic symmetry. Theoretically, there are 9 independent elastic stiffness coefficients $(C_{1111},\;C_{2222},\;C_{3333},\;C_{2323},\;C_{1313},\;C_{1212},\;C_{1122},\;C_{2233},\;and\;C_{1133})$ for orthorhombic anisotropy. In order to characterize the static and dynamic elastic properties of the Iksan Jurassic Granite, triaxial strains under uniaxial compressive stresses and ultrasonic velocities of elastic waves in three different polarizations are measured. Both experiments are carried out with six directional core samples from massive rock body. Using the results of experiments and the densities measured independently, the static and dynamic elastic coefficients are computed by simple mathematical manipulation derived from the governing equations for general anisotropic media. The static elastic coefficients increase ar uniaxial compressive stress rises. Among those, the static elastic coefficients at uniaxial compressive stress of a 24.5 MPa appear to be similar to the dynamic elastic coefficients under ambient condition. Although some deviations are observed, the preferred orientations of microcracks appear to be parallel or subparallel to the rift, the grain, and the hardway from microscopic observation of thin sections. This indicates that the preferred orientations of microcracks cause the elastic anisotropy of the Iksan Jurassic Granite. The results are to be applied to the effective use of the Iksan Jurassic Granite as stone materials, and can be used for the non-destructive safety test.

Today, in order to improve fuel efficiency and dynamic behavior of automobiles, an era of light weight and simplification of automobile parts is being formed. In order to simplify and design and manufacture the shape of the product, various components are integrated. For example, in order to commercialize three products into one product, product processing is occurring to a very narrow area. In the case of existing parts, precision die casting or casting production is used for processing convenience, and the multi-piece method requires a lot of processes and reduces the precision and strength of the parts. It is very advantageous to manufacture integrally to simplify the processing air and secure the strength of the parts, but if a deep and narrow pocket part needs to be processed, it cannot be processed with the equipment's own spindle. To solve a problem, research on cutting processing is being actively conducted, and multi-axis composite processing technology not only solves this problem. It has many advantages, such as being able to cut into composite shapes that have been difficult to flexibly cut through various processes with one machine tool so far. However, the reality is that expensive equipment increases manufacturing costs and lacks engineers who can operate the machine. In the five-axis cutting processing machine, when producing products with deep and narrow sections, the cycle time increases in product production due to the indirectness of tools, and many problems occur in processing. Therefore, dedicated machine tools and multi-axis composite machines should be used. Alternatively, an angle spindle may be used as a special tool capable of multi-axis composite machining of five or more axes in a three-axis machining center. Various and continuous studies are needed in areas such as processing vibration absorption, low heat generation and operational stability, excellent dimensional stability, and strength securing by using the angle spindle.
