This paper presents the sliding mode control methods for anti-lock brake system (ABS) with the friction force observer. Using a simplified quarter car model, the sliding mode controller for ABS is designed to track the desired wheel slip ratio. Here, new method to find the desired wheel slip ratio which produces the maximum friction force between road and tire is suggested. The desired wheel slip ratio is varying according road and tire conditions to produce maximum friction force. In order to find optimum desired wheel slip ratio, the sliding mode observer for friction force is used. The proposed sliding mode controller with observer is evaluated in simulation, and the control design is shown to have high performance on roads with constant and varying adhesion coefficients.

This study deals with progressive collapse of a structure retrofitted with MR dampers. In order to assess their effect of mitigation which prevents progressive collapse, control force ratio is defined by friction force of MR dampers divided by external force. First, simple model of a structure with MR dampers is suggested. Using the model, exact solution with the control force ratio is obtained. When and where the system is stopped is predicted by the derived solution. Through the dissipated energy by MR dampers during collapse event, equivalent damping ratio is derived. Finally, comparison of exact and equivalent solutions is presented.

In the prestressed concrete structures, the effective prestressing force of tendon is basically most important item for structural safety and serviceability. The frictional loss is one of the major items for determinating the effective prestressing force and depend on the construction accuracy of the structures. In this thesis, it will be analyzed and found through measured hydraulic jack pressure, tendon elongation and prestressing control system that the tendancy of apparent curvature friction coefficient, the ratio of jacking force and required prestressing force, the ratio of initial jacking force and required prestressing force and compatibility of specified friction loss coefficient. The specified control limit for curvature friction coefficient of prestressing control system is about 0.25 and wobble friction coefficient 0.005. Thus, the control limit should be modified according to changed vale of friction coefficient.

The heavy duty power manipulate generally has high ratio gear reducers at its joints. When it is used as a slave manipulator in the teleoperation system, therefore, the control input saturates frequently and its tracking performance and stability ate also likely to be deteriorated. This paper proposes a force reflecting control scheme for the manipulator with control input saturation. A series of experiments are shown to give excellent tracking performance with force reflection regardless of control input saturation.

This paper presents a control method for the performance improvement of a proportional solenoid actuator using a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal. It is very difficult to obtain excellent response performance from a proportional solenoid actuator using a simple proportional controller with no PWM signal or dither because the mass and structure of a proportional solenoid actuator changes according to the application target, friction force in the proportional solenoid tube, operating force and displacement range. To solve the above problems, first, a controller with a PWM function for experimenting with attraction force characteristics was designed and manufactured. Secondly, an experimental setup for solenoid performance measurement with a force sensor and a displacement sensor was also manufactured. The attraction force characteristics according to the frequency and duty ratio variations of a PWM signal were tested and the relationships among the frequency, duty ratio, plunger mass and friction characteristics were analyzed. Finally, response characteristics improvements for proportional solenoid actuators are discussed.

In order to achieve high flexibility in manufacture, chip control is one of the most serious problems at present. The continuous type chip (uncontrolled chip), which interrupts the normal cutting process and damages the operator, tool and workpiece have a higher force ratio. while the controlled chip which is 6 or 9 type and C type, has the values of the force ratio below 0.6 The chips were classified by 4 types. in chip formation and by described chip history during the cutting process. Finally, the feasibility of utilizing force ratios in chip control will be pointed out while comparing generated force signals during the cutting process.

In this study, for estimating responses of a controlled structure and determining the maximum control force of velocity-dependent damping devices, three estimation models such as Fourier envelope convex model, probability model, and Newmark design spectrum are used. For this purpose, a procedure proposed by Gupta (1990) for estimating spectral velocity using pseudo-spectral velocity which is given by the estimation models is used and modified to consider the effects of increased damping ratio by the damping device. Time history results indicate that Newmark design spectrum gives the best estimation of maximum control force for over all period structures.

Approximate analysis for a building installed with a friction damper is performed to get insight of its dynamic behavior. Energy balance equation is used to have a closed analytical form solution of dynamic magnification factor(DMF). It is found out that DMF is dependent on friction force ratio and resonance frequency. Approximation of DMF and equivalent damping ratio of a friction damper is proposed with such assumption that the building with a friction damper shows harmonic steady-state response and narrow banded response behavior near resonance frequency. Linear transfer function from input external force to output building displacement is suggested from the simplified DMF equation. Root mean square of a building displacement is derived under earthquake-like random excitation. Finally, design procedure of a friction damper is proposed by finding friction force corresponding to target control ratio. Numerical analysis is carried out to verify the proposed design procedure.

This paper proposes a force reflection control method with a speed saturation compensation scheme for the slave manipulators having a speed saturation due to the high reduction ratio joints. When speed saturation is generated, the proposed force reflection control method not only shows an anti-windup feature in controlling the slave manipulator but also makes the master manipulator move slowly using the force reflection caused by saturation. In this way, the position of the slave manipulator tracks the reference position regardless of speed saturation. The experimental results show that the proposed control method provides excellent performance.

This paper considers the seismic performance of lever-type tuned mass damper(TMD). The lever-type TMD is designed utilizing the seismic-performance of TMD and the control force required for constraining story drift. The TMD is basically designed by tuning the frequency of primary structure. Thus, the TMD plays an important role to reduce the dynamic responses. The lever-type TMD has a merit to control more displacement responses than the existing TMD due to the control forces. It is shown that the optimum design of lever-type TMD is affected by the ratio of the TMD mass with respect to the mass of the primary structure, the damping ration of the primary structure, and the length ratio of the lever. A numerical example exhibits the effectiveness of the dynamic control by the lever-type TMD and its validity is illustrated in a three-story building structure subjected to earthquake.
