In this paper, adaptive controller with switching action is designed for rigid body robot manipulators to ensure the uniform stability of the manipulator system without a priori knowledge of the unmodeled dynamics. It will be shown that the parameter estimates are bounded independent of the other closed-loop signals boundedness, and also shown that the tracking error belongs to the normalized error bound via mathematical analisys. The robustness and performance of the proposed adaptive controller is investigated for the two-link direct drive manipulator actuated by VRM(Variable Reluctance Motor).

We have studied a tiled-aperture coherent-beam-combining system based on constructive interference, as a way to overcome the power limitation of a single laser. A 1-watt-level, 3-channel coherent fiber laser and a 3-channel fiber array of triangular tiling with tip-tilt function were developed. A monitoring system, phase controller, and 3-channel phase modulator formed a closed-loop control system, and the SPGD algorithm was applied. Eventually, phase-locking with a rate of 5-67 kHz and peak-intensity efficiency comparable to the ideal case of 53.3% was successfully realized. We were able to develop the essential elements for a tiled-aperture coherent-beam-combining system that had the potential for highest output power without any beam-combining components, and a multichannel coherent-beam-combining system with higher output power and high speed is anticipated in the future.

To use effectively the solar energy in greenhouse heating, a high performance solar collector should be developed. And then the size of the solar collector and thermal storage tank should be determined through the calculation of heating load. The solar collector must be set in the optimum tilt angle and direction to take daily solar radiation maximally, and the flow rate of heat transfer fluid through the solar collector should be kept in the optimum range. In this research, the performance tests of a capillary tube solar collector were performed to determine the optimum water flow rate and the results summarized as follows. 1. The regressive equations for efficiency estimations of the capillary tube solar collector in the open loop were modeled in the water flow rate of 700-l,000 $\ell$/hr. 2. The optimum water flow rate of the solar collector was estimated by the second order polynomial regression and the maximum efficiency was 80% at the water flow rate of 850 $\ell$/hr. 3. The solar thermal storage system consisted of a capillary tube solar collector and a water storage tank was tested at the water flow rate of 850 $\ell$/hr in the closed loop, and obtained the solar thermal storage efficiency of 55.2%. 4. As the capillary tube solar collector engaged in this experiment was made of non-corrosive polyolefin tubes, its weight was as light as 1/30 of the flat plate solar collector made of copper tubes. Therefore it was considered to be suitable for the greenhouse heating system.

Purpose: Groundwater heat pump (GWHP) system has high coefficient of performance than conventional air-source heat pump system and closed-loop type geothermal system. However, there is problem in long-term operation that groundwater raise at the diffusion well and reduced at the supply well. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately predict the groundwater flow, groundwater movement and control the groundwater level in the wells. In this research, in consideration of hydrogeological characteristic, groundwater level and groundwater movement were conducted analysis in order to develop the optimal design method of the two-well system using the pairing pipe. Method: For the optimum design of the two-well system, this research focused on the design method of the pairing pipe in the simulation model. Especially, in order to control the groundwater level in wells, pairing pipe between the supply well and diffusion well was developed and the groundwater level during the system operation was analyzed by the numerical simulation. Result: As the result of simulation, the groundwater level increased to -2.65m even in the condition of low hydraulic conductivity and high pumping flow rate. Consequently, it was found that the developed system can be operated stably.

The delta operator approach and the singular perturbation technique are introduced. The former reduces the round-off error in the numerical computation. The latter reduces computing time by decoupling the original system into the fast and slow sub-systems. The aircraft dynamics consists of the Phugoid and short-period motions whether its model is longitudinal or lateral. In this paper, an approximated solutions of lateral dynamic model of Beaver obtained by using those two methods in compared with the exact solution. For open-loop system and closed-loop system, and approximated solution gets identical to the exact solution with only one iteration and without iteration, respectively. Therefore, it is shown that implementing those approaches is very effective in the flight dynamic and control.

In this paper the Gamma guidance law, which was used for IUS (Inertial Upper Stage), is applied for solid-motor guidance of a upper stage of a satellite launch vehicle. The RCS (Reaction Control System), which activates after burnout of the upper stage, is employed for the convergence of the guidance algorithm and compensation of velocity errors induced by the solid motor. The algorithm is also simplified by replacing the time-consuming numerical integration process to predict final vehicle states with Keplerian trajectories. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated by conducting 3-DOF computer simulations for off-nominal flight conditions. The numerical results show that Gamma guidance can reduce the orbit injection accuracy in comparison with that obtained by applying open-loop commands.

국제해사기구(IMO, international maritime organization)는 2015년부터 배출규제해역(ECA, emission control area)을 운항하는 선박은 황 함유량이 0.1%(m/m) 이하로 강화된 기준을 만족하는 연료를 사용해야 하며, 2020년부터는 모든 선박에 대해 황 함유량이 0.5%(m/m) 이하인 연료를 사용하거나 동등 이상의 성능을 갖는 배출가스 후처리 장치의 설치를 의무화하였다. 이에 따라, 선박에서 배출되는 오염물질을 제어할 수 있는 다양한 기술이 개발되고 있으며, 후처리 관점에서 습식 스크러버(wet scrubber)는 선박의 디젤 엔진에서 배출되는 이산화황(sulfur dioxide)을 저감시키기 위한 가장 적합한 해결책으로 알려져 있다. 습식 스크러버는 해수를 사용하는 개방형 스크러버(open loop scrubber)와 화학세정수를 사용하는 폐쇄형 스크러버(closed loop scrubber)로 구분된다. 습식 스크러버는 오염물질의 효율적인 처리가 가능하지만 유지보수비가 비싸고, 폐수 발생으로 인한 2차 오염발생 및 부식에 매우 취약한 단점이 있다. 따라서 최근에는 스크러버 내부의 부식을 방지하기 위한 내부식성 재질에 관한 연구와 흡수제(absorbent)의 고도화 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 또한, 하이브리드형 스크러버(hybrid scrubber)는 개방형과 폐쇄형 스크러버의 장점을 결합한 기술로 황산화물의 배출을 규제하는 배출규제해역에서는 폐쇄형 스크러버를 가동하고, 선박이 공해상으로 진입할 경우 개방형 스크러버로 전환함에 따라 황산화물 배출 및 반응 후 세척수의 폐수배출 기준을 동시에 만족할 수 있다.

Interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM) adjustable speed drives offer significant advantages over induction motor drives in a wide variety of industrial applications such as high power density, high efficiency, improved dynamic performance and reliability. This paper proposes efficiency optimization control of IPMSM drive using adaptive fuzzy learning controller(AFLC). In order to optimize the efficiency the loss minimization algorithm is developed based on motor model and operating condition. The d-axis armature current is utilized to minimize the losses of the IPMSM in a closed loop vector control environment. The design of the current based on adaptive fuzzy control using model reference and the estimation of the speed based on neural network using ANN controller. The controllable electrical loss which consists of the copper loss and the iron loss can be minimized by the optimal control of the armature current. The minimization of loss is possible to realize efficiency optimization control for the proposed IPMSM. The optimal current can be decided according to the operating speed and the load conditions. This paper considers the design and implementation of novel technique of high performance speed control for IPMSM using AFLC. Also, this paper proposes speed control of IPMSM using AFLC1, current control of AFLC2 and AFLC3, and estimation of speed using ANN controller. The proposed control algorithm is applied to IPMSM drive system controlled AFLC, the operating characteristics controlled by efficiency optimization control are examined in detail.

This paper proposes an optimum design method of structural and control systems, taking a 2-D truss structure as an example. The structure is supposed to be subjected to initial static loads and disturbances. For the structure, a FEM model is formed, and using modal transformation, the equation of motion is transformed into that of modal coordinates in order to reduce the D.O.F. of the FEM model. The structure is controlled by an output feedback $H^$\infty$$ controller to suppress the effect of the disturbances. The design variables of the simultaneous optimal design of control-structure systems are the cross sectional areas of truss members. The structural objective function is the structural weight. The control objective function is the $H^$\infty$$ norm, that is, the performance index of control. The second structural objective function is the energy of the response related to the initial state, which is derived from the time integration of the quadratic form of the state in the closed-loop system. In a numerical example, simulations have been carried out. Through the consideration of structural weight and $H^$\infty$$ norm, an advantage of the simultaneous optimum design of structural and control systems is shown. Moreover, while the optimized performance index of control is almost kept, we can acquire better design of structural strength.

Semi-active devices use the building's own motion to produce resistive forces and are thus strictly dissipative and require little power. Devices that independently control the binary open/closed valve state can enable novel device hysteresis loops that were not previously possible. However, some device hysteresis loops cannot be obtained without active analog valve control allowing slower, controlled release of stored energy, and is presents an ongoing limitation in obtaining the full range of possibilities offered by these devices. This in silico study develops a proportional-derivative feedback control law using a validated nonlinear device model to track an ideal diamond-shaped force-displacement response profile using active analog valve control. It is validated by comparison to the ideal shape for both sinusoidal and random seismic input motions. Structural application specific spectral analysis compares the performance for the non-linear, actively controlled case to those obtained with an ideal, linear model to validate that the potential performance will be retained when considering realistic nonlinear behaviour and the designed valve control approach. Results show tracking of the device force-displacement loop to within 3-5% of the desired ideal curve. Valve delay, rather than control law design, is the primary limiting factor, and analysis indicates a ratio of valve delay to structural period must be 1/10 or smaller to ensure adequate tracking, relating valve performance to structural period and overall device performance under control. Overall, the results show that active analog feedback control of energy release in these devices can significantly increase the range of resetable, valve-controlled semi-active device performance and hysteresis loops, in turn increasing their performance envelop and application space.
