Auto-Pilot System uses heading angle information via the position sensor and the rudder device to control the ship direction. Most of the control logics are composed of the state estimation and control algorithms assuming that the measurement device and the actuator have no fault except the measurement noise. But such asumptions could bring the danger in real situation. For example, if the heading angle measuring device is out of order the control action based on those false position information could bring serious safety problem. In this study, the control system including improved method for processing the position information is applied to the Auto-Pilot System. To show the difference between general state estimator and F.D.F., BJDFs for the sensor and the actuator failure detection are designed and the performance are tested. And it is shown that bias error in sensor could be detected by state-augmented estimator. So the residual confined in the 2-dim in the presence of the sensor failure could be unidirectional in output space and bias sensor error is much easier to be detected.

Electro-mechanical actuator system for aircraft has advantages in compactness and its lightweight, compared to the hydraulic actuator system. Hinge line actuator has low air resistance and is suitable for special purpose such as stealth. This paper describes design contents of 10,000 lbf-in class dual redundant hinge line electro-mechanical actuator system for performance test. The control structure was designed to minimize impact of torque fighting. A mathematical model is proposed to analyze and validate the performances of actuator by comparison with experiment results.

In this paper, the dynamics of actuators for generating the input of plants is considered in a design of the variable structure systems. While the input for plants is usually implemented by means of a certain actuator, the actuator dynamics is not incorporated in most of the VSS researches until now. The control algorithm of a VSS incorporating actuator dynamics is presented, and the simulation is given to show the usefulness of the algorithms.

mathematical models for a hydraulic brake actuator and a brake control law for vehicle collision warning/collision avoidance (CW/CA) systems will be presented in this paper. The control law have been designed for optimzied safety and comfort. A solenoid-valve-controlled hydraulic brake actuator system for the CW/CA systems has been investigated, A nonlinear computer model and a linear model of the hydraulic brake actuator system have been developed. Both models were found to represent the actual system with good accuracy. Uncertainties in the brake actuator model have been considered in the design of the control law for the roubustness of the controller. The effects of brake control on CW/CA vehicle response has been investigated via simulations. The simulations were performed using the hydraulic brake system model and a complete nonlinear vehicle model. The results indicate that the proposed brake control law can provide the CW/CA vehicles with an opimized compromise between safety and comfort.

This paper presents application possibility of Lightweight Piezoceramic Composite Actuator(LIPCA) to suppress vibration of dynamic structures as an actuator. LIPCA is composed of a piezoelectric layer, a carbon/epoxy layer and glass/epoxy layers. When compared to the bare piezoelectric ceramic(PZT), LIPCA has advantages such as high performance, durability and reliability. In this study, performances of LIPCA have been estimated in an active vibration control system. Experiments were performed on an aluminum beam with cantilever configuration. In this test, strain gages and single LIPCA are attached on the aluminum beam with epoxy resin. Digital ON-OFF control algorithm is applied into the system to exhibit performance of LIPCA as actuator in active vibration control system. First, we performed static actuation test of bare PZT and LIPCA in order to show the superiority of LIPCA. Secondly, we carried out beam vibration control test using LIPCA. The results showed LIPCA could suppress free vibration of the aluminum beam, which means that LIPCA can be applied as an actuator to control vibration of dynamic structures.

In order to design a system a process or plant must be put into a mathematical form for analysis and evaluation, and an appropriate controller must be designed to attain the desired system response. In this paper, the mathematical model for an optical pickup actuator is proposed and an H .inf. controller is employed to obtain the optimal focusing/tracking servo system behavior. Simulation and experiments are carried out to verify the performance of the proposed model.

In this paper, we design the H$\infty$ optimal controller satisfying robust stability and performance in spite of the plant uncertainty for an electro-mechanical actuator system and analyze the controller in frequency domain. H$\infty$ optimal controller K was designed using iteration algorithm suggested by DOYLE. Using the controller in an electro-mechanical actuator system, the joint with very small coupling rigidity coefficient was used to vary the control parameter. The plant unstructured uncertainty was assumed to be a multiplicative type.

Piezoelectric(PZT) actuator can substitute for solenoid which is used in fluid control field because it has faster response times and no possibility of explosion. Besides, it is available in a high temperature and it has low energy consumption. In this study, pneumatic micro valve, bimorph type PZT actuator using the softner type PZT, carbon plate as a shim and its controller circuit were suggested and investigated. Performance tests and characteristics analysis, such as displacement, force, hysteresis and frequency properties, were carried out. The displacement of the actuator measured at the end point was 63 ${\mu}m$., force of the actuator was 0.052 N and maximum operating frequency was 15Hz. Also, characteristics of the micro valve with PZT actuator were evaluated in a testing system. The results show that the suggested PZT actuator is suitable for micro valve.

This paper presents a proof-concept investigation on the active vibration control of two hybrid smart structures (HSSs). The first one is consisting of a piezoelectric film (PF) actuator and an electro-rheological fluid(ERF) actuator, and the other is featured by a piezoceramic (PZT) actuator and a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator. For the PF/ERF hybrid smart structure, both the increment of the damping ratios and the suppression of the tip deflections are evaluated in order to demonstrate control effectiveness of the PF actuator and ERF actuator and the hybrid actuation. For the PZT/SMA hybrid smart structure, the PZT actuator takes account of the high frequency excitation, while the SMA actuator exerts large vibration control force. The experimental results exhibit superior abilities of the hybrid actuation systems to tailor elastodynamic responses of the HSS rather than a single class of actuation system alone.
