본 연구에서는 도로용 발전장치 최적화 설계를 위해 실험과 수치해석을 다루었으며, 도로용 발전장치는 패드, 축, 토셔널 댐퍼, 일방향 클러치, 기어, 발전기 등의 여러 가지 기계요소를 포함한다. 본 수치해석은 도로용 발전장치의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 개발되었으며 소프트웨어에 의하여 이론적으로 계산된 결과값을 사용하여 최적화 설계의 변수인자를 결정하게 된다. 이러한 변수는 장치의 용량, 길이, 각도 등이며, 차량의 운전상태에 따라서 토오크, 출력 및 생성된 에너지값 등의 결과값을 비교하여, 도로용 발전장치를 설계하기 전 수치해석을 통해 제안된 개념과 시스템이 효율성과 신뢰성을 갖도록 한다.

In this study, friction characteristics using elastomeric actuator with Magneto-rheological (MR) materials are identified. Typically, Magneto-rheological materials are divided into two groups by MR fluid in fluid state and MR elastomer in solid state like rubber. The stiffness characteristics of Magneto-rheological material can be changed as magnetic field is applied. MR fluid has been applied to various industry fields such as to brake, clutch, damper, engine mount and etc. However, MR fluid has been used under the sealed condition to prevent leaking issues. In order to overcome these problems, MR elastomer that has same property as MR fluid has been developed and studied. MR elastomer mainly consists of polymer material such as natural rubber or silicon rubber with particles that can be polarized with magnetic field. And it is called as a smart material since its stiffness and damping characteristics can be changed. In this study, MR elastomer is produced and pin-on-disc tests are carried out to identify the friction characteristics of the material. Several test conditions are applied to evaluate the feasibility to use as a smart actuator in the field of vibration control.
