This paper proposes the explicit tuning rule of multi-loop PID controller for brushless direct current motors to predict the system behaviors in time and frequency domains, using properties of the convex combination method. The convex set of the proposed controllers formulates the envelope to satisfy the performances in time and frequency domains. The final control parameters are determined by solving the convex optimization problem subject to the constraints which are represented as convex set of time domain performances. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is shown in the numerical simulation, in which controller tuning algorithm and dynamics of brushless DC motor are well taken into account.

This paper presents robust control performance of a direct current(DC) motor with brake system adopting a giant electrorheological(GER) fluid, whose distinguished feature is an extremely high value of yield stress. As a first step, Bingham characteristics of the GER fluid is experimentally investigated using the Couette type electroviscometer. A cylindrical type of ER brake is then devised based on the Bingham model, and its braking torque is evaluated. Structural analysis of ER break is performed using ANSYS. After formulating the governing equation of motion for the DC motor with ER brake system, a sliding mode control algorithm, which is very robust to external disturbances and parameter uncertainties, is synthesized and experimentally realized in order to achieve desired rotational speed trajectories. The tracking responses of the control system are then evaluated and verified by presenting speed control performance.

The use of voltage source converter multi-terminal direct current (VSC-MTDC) systems is anticipated to increase from the introduction of wind farms and super grids in the near future. Effective control of the DC voltage in VSC-MTDC systems is an important research topic. This paper proposes a new dynamic reference-based voltage droop control to control the DC voltage in VSC-MTDC systems more effectively. The main merit of the dynamic reference-based voltage droop control is that it can reduce the steady-state error in conventional voltage droop control by changing references according to the system operating conditions. The performance of the proposed control was tested in a hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) system based on the OPAL-RT real-time digital simulator and four digital signal processing boards.

The speed and torque control performance of the DC motor used in the industrial field is affected by the change of parameters. In particular the change of armature resistance can be greatly originated from various load conditions. Accordingly a large number of studies to estimate those problems in the servo motor control field have already been under way. In this paper, the armature resistance on the DC motor under several load and speed conditions is estimated by the Artificial Neural Network(ANN), and the validity is proven by the speed estimation of sensorless speed control system.

This paper proposes two types of subharmonic RF receiver front-end (called LMV) where, in a single stage, quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO) is stacked on top of a low noise amplifier. Since the QVCO itself plays the role of the single-balanced subharmonic mixer with the dc current reuse technique by stacking, the proposed topology can remove the RF mixer component in the RF front-end and thus reduce the chip size and the power consumption. Another advantage of the proposed topologies is that many challenges of the direct conversion receiver can be easily evaded with the subharmonic mixing in the QVCO itself. The intermediate frequency signal can be directly extracted at the center taps of the two inductors of the QVCO. Using a 65 nm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, the proposed subharmonic RF front-ends are designed. Oscillating at around 2.4 GHz band, the proposed subharmonic LMVs are compared in terms of phase noise, voltage conversion gain and double sideband noise figure. The subharmonic LMVs consume about 330 ㎼ dc power from a 1-V supply.

In current study, surface/interface effects for pull-in voltage and viscous fluid velocity effects on dimensionless natural frequency (DNF) of fluid-conveying piezoelectric nanosensor (FCPENS) subjected to direct electrostatic voltage DC with nonlinear excitation, harmonic force and also viscoelastic foundation (visco-pasternak medium and structural damping) are investigated using Gurtin-Murdoch surface/interface (GMSIT) theory. For this analysis, Hamilton's principles, the assumed mode method combined with Lagrange-Euler's are used for the governing equations and boundary conditions. The effects of surface/interface parameters of FCPENS such as Lame's constants (λI,S, μI,S), residual stress (τ0I,S), piezoelectric constants (e31psk,e32psk) and mass density (ρI,S) are considered for analysis of dimensionless natural frequency respect to viscous fluid velocity u̅f and pull-in voltage V̅DC.

The surface modification and treatment using thermal plasma were reviewed in academic fields. In general, thermal plasma is generated by direct current (DC) and radiofrequency (RF) power sources. Thermal spray coating, a typical commercial process using thermal plasma, is performed by DC thermal plasma, whereas other promising surface modifications have been reported and developed using RF thermal plasma. Beyond the thermal spray coating, physical and chemical surface modifications were attempted widely. Superhydrophobic surface treatment has a very high industrial demand particularly. Besides, RF thermal plasma system for large-area film surface treatment is being developed. Thermal plasma is especially suitable for the surface modification of low-dimensional nanomaterial (e.g., nanotubes) by utilizing high temperature and rapid quenching. It is able to synthesize and modify nanomaterials simultaneously in a one-pot process.

Given that induced polarization (IP) and direct current (DC) resistivity surveys are similar in terms of data acquisition, most DC resistivity systems are equipped with a time-domain IP data acquisition function. In addition, the time-domain IP data include the DC resistivity values. As such, IP and DC resistivity data are intimately linked, and the inversion of IP data is a two-step process based on DC resistivity inversions. Nevertheless, IP surveys are rarely applied, in contrast to DC resistivity surveys, as proper inversion software is unavailable. In this study, through numerical modeling and inversion experiments, we analyze the problems with the conventional inverse mapping technique used to invert time-domain IP data. Furthermore, we propose a modified inverse mapping technique that can effectively suppress inversion artifacts. The performance of the technique is confirmed through inversions applied to synthetic IP data.

The ion-exchange membrane, Nafion, remains as the benchmark for a majority of research and development in IPMC technology. In this research, we employed a novel ionomer named by sulfonated poly(styrene-ran-ethylene) (SPSE) that is crosslinked by UV irradiation. The sulfonic acid groups were stable during the UV irradiation crosslinking process. Water uptake, ion exchange capacity, and proton conductivity are characterized for both pure SPSE and crosslinked SPSE membrane. The bending responses of SPSE actuators under both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) excitations were investigated. The voltage-current behaviors of the actuators under AC excitations are also measured. Results showed the crosslinked SPSE actuators have better electromechanical performance than that of pure SPSE actuator with regard to tip displacement as a novel smart material.
