In this paper, dynamic displacement is estimated with high accuracy by blending high-sampling rate acceleration data with low-sampling rate displacement measurement using a two-stage Kalman estimator. In Stage 1, the two-stage Kalman estimator first approximates dynamic displacement. Then, the estimator in Stage 2 estimates a bias with high accuracy and refines the displacement estimate from Stage 1. In the previous Kalman filter based displacement techniques, the estimation accuracy can deteriorate due to (1) the discontinuities produced when the estimate is adjusted by displacement measurement and (2) slow convergence at the beginning of estimation. To resolve these drawbacks, the previous techniques adopt smoothing techniques, which involve additional future measurements in the estimation. However, the smoothing techniques require more computational time and resources and hamper real-time estimation. The proposed technique addresses the drawbacks of the previous techniques without smoothing. The performance of the proposed technique is verified under various dynamic loading, sampling rate and noise level conditions via a series of numerical simulations and experiments. Its performance is also compared with those of the existing Kalman filter based techniques.

Heat dissipation technology using flow resonant phenomenon is a kind of new concept in heat transfer area. A vibration exciter is needed to generate air turbulence which has the natural shedding frequency of heat system. A mechanical vibrating device for the air flow oscillation is introduced, which is driven by a moving coil actuator. An analytical dynamic model for this mechanical vibration exciter is presented and its' validity is verified by the comparison with experimental data. Values of some unknown system parameters in the analytic model are estimated through the system identification approach. Based on this mathematical model, the vibration exciter using strain displacement estimator is developed. And in the experiment, the feedback control is used. During the experimental verification phase, it turns out the high modal resonant characteristics of vibrating plate are the major barrier against obtaining a high bandwidth vibration exciter.

This paper proposes a robust discrete time Kalman filter (RDKF) for the dynamic compensation of nonlinearity in a homodyne laser interferometer for high-precision displacement measurement and in real-time. The interferometer system is modeled to reduce the calculation of the estimator. A regulator is applied to improve the robustness of the system. An estimator based on dynamic modeling and a zero regulator of the system was designed by the authors of this study. For real measurement, the experimental results show that the proposed interferometer system can be applied to high precision displacement measurement in real-time.

Tip position control of a flexible cantilever is difficult due to the non-minimum phase dynamics that result from the finite propagating speed of a mechanical wave along the cantilever. In this paper, we propose a method for the tip position control using a light and cheap accelerometer that does not bring any significant change to the dynamics of the cantilever system. The linear system identification model of the flexible cantilever is obtained with measurements by a laser displacement sensor. A Kalman estimator is designed with this model and calculates the estimated tip position with the acceleration data of the accelerometer that is attached on the tip of the cantilever. To verify reliability of the estimator, the estimated tip position is used to the feedback control system that uses a fuzzy logic controller. The control results are compared with those of the fuzzy control system where the real tip position is measured by a laser displacement sensor. Also, the performance of the estimator with the accelerometer is presented and discussed.

본 논문에서는 차륜형 역진자에 적용되는 속도 추정기 기반 제어기 설계와 다양한 수치 시뮬레이션이 수행되었다. 차륜형 역진자는 불안정한 평형점과 안정한 평형점을 동시에 갖는다. 불안정한 평형점에 대하여 평형을 유지하기 위하여 차륜형 역진자는 지속적으로 제어되어야 한다. 제어기의 입력으로 차륜형 역진자 몸체의 각도, 각속도, 변위 속도 등이 필요하다. 필요한 속도는 모터에 부착된 에코더 신호를 차분하여 얻어지며, 엔코더의 해상도에 민감하게 의존한다. 저해상도 엔코더와 속도 추정기에 기반하여 개선된 속도 검출법이 제안되고 경사면에서 유효함을 보이기 위해서 다양한 수치 시뮬레이션이 수행되었다.

A concept of hierarchical modeling, the newest modeling technology. has been introduced early In 1990. This nu technology has a goat potential to advance the capabilities of current computational mechanics. A first step to Implement this concept is to construct hierarchical models, a family of mathematical models which are sequentially connected by a key parameter of the problem under consideration and have different levels in modeling accuracy, and to investigate characteristics In their numerical simulation aspects. Among representative model problems to explore this concept are elastic structures such as beam-, arch-. plate- and shell-like structures because the mechanical behavior through the thickness can be approximated with sequential accuracy by varying the order of thickness polynomials in the displacement or stress fields. But, in the numerical analysis of hierarchical models, two kinds of errors prevail: the modeling error and the numerical approximation errors. To ensure numerical simulation quality, an accurate estimation of these two errors Is definitely essential. Here, a local a posteriori error estimator for elastic structures with thin domain such as plate- and shell-like structures Is derived using element residuals and flux balancing technique. This method guarantees upper bounds for the global error, and also provides accurate local error Indicators for two types of errors, in the energy norm. Comparing to the classical error estimators using flux averaging technique, this shows considerably reliable and accurate effectivity indices. To illustrate the theoretical results and to verify the validity of the proposed error estimator, representative numerical examples are provided.

This paper presents a novel smart MEMS accelerometer which employs a hybrid control algorithm and an estimator. This scheme is realized by adding a sliding-mode controller to a conventional PID closed loop system to achieve higher stability and higher dynamic range and to prevent pull-in phenomena by preventing finger displacement from passing a maximum preset value as well as adding an adaptive nonlinear observer to a conventional PID closed loop system. This estimator is used for online estimation of the parameter variations for MEMS accelerometers and gives the capability of self testing to the system. The analysis of convergence and resolution show that while the proposed control scheme satisfies these criteria it also keeps resolution performance better than what is normally obtained in conventional PID controllers. The performance of the proposed hybrid controller investigated here is validated by computer simulation.

재료 및 부재의 내진성능평가 실험 시 재하속도와 수직하중은 성능에 중대한 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 반복 가력 및 하이브리드 실험 시 재하속도는 입력 변위와 출력 변위 사이의 시간 지연현상으로 인해 고속으로 제어하기 어려우며 횡방향 변위에 의해 수직하중을 일정하게 유지하는 것이 어려워 일정한 수직하중이 유지되는 고속 및 실시간 실험은 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 면진받침의 속도 의존성과 수직하중의 영향을 조사하기 위해 저속 및 고속 반복 가력 실험과 실시간 하이브리드 실험을 수행하였다. 실험에서 수평 변위와 수직 하중의 실시간 제어를 위해 Adaptive Time Series(ATS) 보정 방법과 State estimator가 포함된 FLB System을 구축하였다. 고속 또는 실시간으로 재하되는 수평 변위 제어 속도와 상부구조물에 의한 수직하중은 면진받침의 강도 및 지진 시 거동에 상당한 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 확인하였으며 내진성능평가를 위한 실험 시 실제와 유사하도록 구현되어야함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 내진성능평가를 위해 구축하고 사용된 시스템의 우수한 성능을 보여주며 정확하고 효율적인 내진성능평가가 가능하도록 하였다.
