The solenoid valve is used widely across various industries; however, solenoid valves for use in high-temperature environments have to be highly specified, such as those used in thermal power plants and steel mills. As such, we have developed a solenoid valve, using an already developed solenoid, to allow for more specific use. In this type of development method, use of 3D printing is very effective, allowing for a reduction in errors in design and production. This study includes a mathematical model of the solenoid valve. Then, the simulation from the mathematical model was performed using the AMESim (Advanced Modeling Environment for Simulation of Engineering Systems). We made a prototype valve using the simulation results and also measured the flow rate and dynamic performance.

Although the upland field area of Korea is high as 44.8%, the platform optimized for the upland field is insufficient. It is necessary to develop an optimized platform for the upland field because the upland field environment is an irregular environment with many slopes. In addition, due to the characteristic of agricultural operations, the traction power and torque of the platform have to be sufficient. Therefore, in this study, a simulation model that can predict the traction power and driving torque of a crawler-type platform for the upland field was developed and validated using the specifications of the crawler platform. The simulation model was developed using Amesim (19.1, Siemens, Germany). The development of the model was conducted using the specifications of the platform. A measurement system was developed to validate the simulation model. The traction power data of the simulation model was validated with the traction force and vehicle speed. The driving torque data of the simulation model was validated with the torque of the sprocket on the crawler system. As a result of the analysis, the error between measurement and simulation results occurred within 10%, and it was determined that the traction power and driving torque prediction of the crawler platform using this model was possible.

전기자동차에 사용되는 리튬이온 배터리의 성능은 배터리 온도에 따라 큰 차이를 보인다. 본 논문에서는 유한차분법을 이용하여 배터리의 발열량에 따른 배터리의 온도변화를 평가하고, 배터리의 충전량, 내부저항 및 전압변화를 조사하였다. 이 배터리 모델을 1차원 해석 프로그램인 AMESim과 연동하여 전기자동차가 NEDC 모드로 주행 시, 배터리의 온도 변화에 따른 전기자동차의 주행거리를 산출하였다. 배터리는 온도가 $25^{\circ}C$ 이하로 감소하면 내부저항이 증가하기 때문에 발열량이 증가하여 주행거리는 줄었다. 또한, 배터리의 온도가 $25^{\circ}C$ 이상이 되면, 배터리의 충전량이 감소하여 배터리의 성능이 떨어지고 그 결과로 주행거리가 줄었다. 배터리의 성능을 최적으로 유지할 수 있는 온도인 $25^{\circ}C$를 기준으로 배터리의 온도가 $-20^{\circ}C$와 $45^{\circ}C$일 때, 전기자동차의 주행거리는 각각 33%와 1.8% 감소하였다. 배터리의 최적 온도를 유지하기 위해 효율적인 배터리 열관리를 통하여 저온에서는 가열, 고온에서는 냉각이 이루어져야 한다. 해석 결과 외기온이 $-20^{\circ}C$인 경우 500 W의 열을 공급해주어야 하며, 외기온이 $45^{\circ}C$ 경우에는 냉방을 통해 250 W의 열을 방출해줌으로써 배터리 구동의 최적 온도인 $25^{\circ}C$를 유지할 수 있다.

A double-end rod hydraulic cylinder is widely used with a steering valve for the steering control system in large tractors. For the development of automatic steering controller, the feasibility of using a proportional control valve replacing the conventional manual steering valve to control the position of hydraulic steering cylinder was investigated in terms of the max. overshoot, the steady-state error and the rise time. A simulation model for the electrohydraulic steering system with load using AMESim package was developed to be valid so that the proper control algorithm could be chosen through the computer simulation. It could be concluded that the P-control algorithm was sufficient to control the electrohydraulic steering system, where the control frequency should be no greater than 20 Hz at the P-gain of 5. In particular, the performance of the developed steering controller was satisfactory even at the conditions of varying flow rates and loads.

In this paper, a hydropneumatic modeling and dynamic analysis of a heavy truck semi-active cabin air suspension system is presented. Semi-active cabin air suspension system improves driver's ride comfort by controlling the damping characteristics in accordance with driving situation. So it can reduce vibration between truck frame and cabin. Semi-active cabin air suspension system is consist of air spring, leveling valve and CDC shock absorber, and full cabin system are mathematically modelled using AMESim software. Simulation results of components and full cabin system are compared with experimental data of components and test results of a cabin using 6 axis simulation table. It is found that the simulation results are in good agreements with test results, and the hydropneumatic model can be used well to predict dynamic characterics of heavy truck semi-active cabin air suspension system.

Bent-axis piston pump have been commonly used in hydraulic systems because of high pressure level, best efficiency, low shear force on pistons and low operating costs. The other side, they have a few demerits like that they have the relatively high number of moving parts and more discharge pressure ripples. Especially, the discharge pressure ripples bring about vibrations and noises in hydraulic system components such as connecting pipes and control valves, so that these deteriorate the stability and accuracy of the systems. Therefore, the hydraulic systems having the bent-axis piston pump require the methods to reduce the discharge pressure ripples. So, the purpose of this paper is to reduce the discharge pressure ripples by the phase interference of pressure wave and to develope the analysis model of the pumps to predict the discharge pressure ripples. In this paper, the analysis model of the bent-axis piston pump was developed using the AMESim software, and the reliability of that was verified by the comparison with the experimental results. The hydraulic pipeline with a parallel line was used as the method to generate the phase interference of pressure wave. the dynamics characteristics of the hydraulic pipeline with a parallel line were analyzed by a transfer matrix method. the usefulness of the phase interference of pressure wave was investigated through the experiment and simulation. The results from the experiment and simulation said that the phase interference of pressure wave by the hydraulic pipeline with a parallel line could reduce the discharge pressure wave of the pump well. The analysis model of the bent-axis piston pump developed in this paper and the method of the phase interference by the hydraulic pipeline with a parallel line are expected to be helpful to achieve the design of the pump and to reduce the discharge pressure wave of the pump effectively.

Purpose: A simulator for the design and performance evaluation of a tractor with a hydro-mechanical transmission (HMT) was developed. Methods: The HMT consists of a hydro-static unit (HSU), a swash plate control system, and a planetary gear. It was modeled considering the input/output relationship of the torque and speed, and efficiency of HSU. Furthermore, a dynamic model of a tractor was developed considering the traction force, running resistance, and PTO (power take off) output power, and a tractor performance simulator was developed in the co-simulation environment of AMESim and MATLAB/Simulink. Results: The behaviors of the design parameters of the HMT tractor in the working and driving modes were investigated as follows; For the stepwise change of the drawbar load in the working mode, the tractor and engine speeds were maintained at the desired values by the engine torque and HSU stroke control. In the driving mode, the tractor followed the desired speed through the control of the engine torque and HSU stroke. In this case, the engine operated near the OOL (optimal operating line) for the minimum fuel consumption within the shift range of HMT. Conclusions: A simulator for the HMT tractor was developed. The simulations were conducted under two operation conditions. It was found that the tractor speed and the engine speed are maintained at the desired values through the control of the engine torque and the HSU stroke.

디젤 분사시스템의 고압펌프는 저압으로 공급된 연료를 압축하여 고압 연료로 만들고 엔진 작동조건에 따라 커먼레일의 연료를 요구되는 압력수준으로 유지한다. 고압펌프는 차량의 전체 수명기간 동안 연료를 2000 bar에 달하는 고압으로 압축하여 원활히 동작해야 하므로 설계기술, 재료의 내구성, 고도의 가공정밀도가 요구된다. 이 연구에서는 1-플런저 레이디얼 피스톤 펌프 형태의 고압펌프에 대한 시뮬레이션 모델을 상용 소프트웨어인 AMESimpp의 서브 모델들을 이용하여 개발하고, 고압펌프의 동작특성을 살펴보기 위해 시뮬레이션을 실시한다. 주요한 시뮬레이션 내용들은 입구 및 출구 밸브의 변위, 유량, 압력 특성, 캠의 토크 특성, 그리고 연료 미터링밸브의 압력 제어 특성과 오버플로밸브의 동작 특성이다. 또한 입구 밸브의 구멍지름과 스프링 초기력 등의 파라미터 변화에 따른 입구 및 출구 밸브의 유량과 커먼레일 압력 등의 고압펌프의 동작 특성과 응답 특성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검토한다. 이를 통해서 개발된 펌프 모델의 동작이 논리적으로 타당함을 제시하고, 고압펌프를 설계변경하거나 개발초기에 설계변수들의 설정과 튜닝에 활용할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 모델을 제안한다.
