This paper presents the nonlinear characteristics of the oil lubricated hydrodynamic journal bearing. The traditional approach is to characterize the behavior and performance of fluid film hydrodynamic journal bearings by means of linearized bearing analysis. The objective of this paper is to examine the nonlinear characteristics of the journal bearing when an external sinusoidal shock is given to the system. The oil film force is obtained by solving the finite width Reynolds equation at each time step by the solution of the column method. Frequency response function and journal orbit obtained from both linear and nonlinear bearing simulations are compared with each other.

Most of rotating machineries supported by contact bearing accompany lowering efficiency, vibration and wear. Moreover, because of vibration, which is occurred in rotating shaft, they have the limits of driving speed and precision. The rotor system has parametric variations or external disturbances such as mass unbalance variations in long operation. Therefore, it is necessary to research about magnetic bearing, which is able to support the shaft without mechanical contact and to control rotor vibration without being affected by external disturbances or parametric changes. Magnetic bearing system in the paper is composed of position sensor, digital controller, actuating amplifier and electromagnet. This paper applied the robust control method using quantitative feedback theory (QFT) to control the magnetic bearing. It also proposed design skill of optimal controller, in case the system has structured uncertainty, unstructured uncertainty and disturbance. Reduction of vibration is verified at critical rotating speed even external disturbance exists. Unbalance response, a serious problem in rotating machinery, is improved by magnetic bearing using QFT algorithm.

We analyzed the measured acoustic field to explore the characteristics of a horizontal coherence in shallow water. Signal spatial coherence data were obtained in the continental shelf off the east coast of Korea using a horizontal line array. The array was deployed on the bottom of 130 m water depth and a sound source was towed at 26 m depth in the source-receiver ranges of 1-13 ㎞. The source transmitted 200 ㎐ pure tone. Topography and temperature profiles along the source track were measured to investigate the relationship between the horizontal coherence and environment variations. The beam bearing disturbance and array signal gain degradation is examined as parameters of horizontal coherence. The results show that the bearing disturbance is about ± 8° and seems to be affected by temporal variations of temperature caused by internal waves. The array signal gains show degradation more than 5㏈ by the temporal and spatial variations of temperature and by the down-sloped topography.

This paper illustrates the feasibility and the effectiveness of the disturbance feedforward compensation control proposed in the previous paper. The compensator is designed experimentally by means of the Multiple Filtered-x Least Mean Square algorithm. A 2-DOF active magnetic bearing system subject to base motion is built and the compensation control is applied. The experimental results demonstrate that the compensation control reduces the air-gap responses within 10$%$ of those by the feedback control alone without increasing the control inputs.

Nonlinear characteristics of the hydrodynamic journal bearing with circumferentially groove are analyzed numerically considering cavitation region, when an external sinusoidal shock is given to the system. The oil film force is obtained by solving the finite width universal Reynolds equation at each time step. Frequency response function and journal orbit obtained from both linear and nonlinear bearing simulations are compared with each other. The vibration response of the journal is different from the expectation obtained from the linear analysis as increase the vibration amplitude of external disturbance. Therefore, the linear theory is not adequate, and the nonlinear calculation such as used in this research is needed to design safety rotor systems.

This article describes the development on a new style active hybrid bearing system including both merits of an aerostatic bearing system and a magnetic bearing system. The developed active hybrid bearing system has several advantages: exact rotation, robust controller against the variation of a disturbance, improvement of stiffness and a damper of the system at a high-speed operation, and constraints of the heat generated by a bias current. In order to measure a rotating error due to the change of a cutting force and the variation of a system parameter, a CCS (Cylindrical Capacity displacement Sensor) was used.

When modeling error is large of plant is time-varying, it is hard to obtain good robust performance and robust stability by conventional contorl methods. Here, we need to design a robust controller bearing modeling error. In this paper, based on recently developed Time Delay Control(TDC) and Disturbance Observer the output feedback Robust Disturbance Observer(RDO), which is easily combined with general linear control, is proposed. Proposed RDO is derived from extending the main idea of Disturbance Observer to multi-input multi-output linear system. RDO solves robust stability problem of Disturbance Observer and has the robust performance same as nominal performance. RDO controlled dual stage positioning system shows excellent robust performance.

In this paper, we design the state feedback gain using linear matrix inequality(LMI) to the multiobjective synthesis, in the magnetic bearing system with integral type servo system. The design objectives can be a H$\_$$\infty$/ performance, asymptotic disturbance rejection, time-domain constraints, on the closed-lnp pole location. To the end, we investigated the validity of the designed controller through results of simulation.

Magnetic bearing has been adopted to support a rotor by electromagnetic force without mechanical contact and lubrication process. The recent growth of magnetic bearing applications in many industrial fields requires more accurate design of bearing-rotor system. Due to external forces and uncertainties of magnetic bearing system the actual performance and stability my be worse than it is designed. This paper describes the governing equations of rotor magnetic bearing systems and/or the designing of robust controller via standard $H_{\infty}$ control problem. The system stability and response characteristics are studied by simulations and verified with experimental results.

In this paper, a spindle system using an electromagnetic exciter is proposed to compensate a spindle disturbance such as unbalance and machining force etc A spindle compliance can be readily varied with a disturbance which is generated by the interact ion between the spindle / workpiece structure and the cutting process dynamics. The varied compliance is one of the major constraints that deteriorates the surface quality of workpiece. This paper suggests a compliance compensation by using the EME in the proposed spindle system. To compensate the varied compliance, firstly a spindle system modeling was conducted by using the bond graph. Then the model is simulated by numerical analysis method and an optimal EME position is determined to compensate a disturbance effectively through simulation, which makes the bearing load to be minimized
