The road simulator system can simulate the longitudinal, lateral, and vertical movement changed by road conditions and vehicle dynamic characteristics while driving. This system provides the durability evaluation of vehicle suspensions. The system consists of hydraulic actuators, link mechanism, and servo controller. The hydraulic actuators are specially manufactured using low friction seals to endure high speed movement. The link mechanism is designed in order to minimize the dynamic effect during motion and remove the interference between 3axes actuators. The servo controller is composed of sensors, sensor amplifiers - displacement transducers and load cells, and an industrial PC with DSP board which calculates the control algorithm to control hydraulic actuators. The test results are included to evaluate the performance of this simulator comparing vehicle driving test.

A design of aeroload simulator is proposed which is used for the dynamic test of guided missile servoactuation system. Since the simulator is linked to the servoactuation system, it is a two-input one-output system. The mathematical model of the aeroload simulator is derived and the root-locus method is applied to design compensator to improve the stability, response speed and accuracy of the system. Computer simulations are done to verify the goodness of the system design.

The objective of this study is to develope a satellite dynamic simulator, which can test and analyze the performance of spacecraft attitude control, antenna pointing instruments, communication equipments and spacecraft components under the space environment. The satellite simulator can be used to predict the events such as malfunction and failure of satellites in space during operation and can be used to protect against emergencies. At first, the performance test system of attitude control is investigated which can simulate motion and verify stability of spacecraft. Our system consists of an attitude control main processor and a sub-processor including some real hardwares such as attitude sensors and actuators. In this paper, we describe the procedure of designing and manufacturing the dynamic simulator hardware, which consists of the central processor board, the sub-processor board and the sun sensor, and also communication between the components.

The dynamic stability of railway vehicle has been one of the important issues in railway safety. The dynamic simulator has been used in the study about the dynamic stability of railway vehicle and wheel/rail interface optimization. Especially, a small scale simulator has been widely used in the fundamental study in the laboratory instead of full scale roller rig which is not cost effective and inconvenient to achieve diverse design parameters. But the technique for the design of the small scale simulator about the dynamic characteristics of the wheel-rail system and the bogie system has not been well developed in Korea. Therefore, the research using the small-scaled derailment simulator and the 1/5 scaled bogie has been conducted. In this paper, we did running stability test of 1/5 scaled bogie using small-scaled derailment simulator. Also, for the operation of the small scaled simulator, it is required to investigate the performance and characteristics of the simulator system. This could be achieved by a comparative study between an analysis and an experiment. This paper presented the analytical model which could be used for verifying the test results and understanding of the physical behavior of the dynamic system comprising the small- scaled derailment simulator and the 1/5 scaled bogie.

The safety and reliability of nuclear power plant operations relies heavily on the plant operators ability to respond to various emergency situations. It has become standard industry practice to utilize simulators to improve the safety and reliability of nuclear power plants operations. The simulators built for Younggwang#3,4, which is the basic model of the Korean Nuclear Power Plant design, has been developed precisely for this purpose. Dynamic Model and Display Model are developed under US3(UNIX Simulation Software Support System) environment in simulator for Younggwang#3,4. Since these two models are developed under each own operating system, it is necessary to develop a method for transporting data between these two systems. This paper descirves communication environment between Dynamic Model and Display Model, and addresses a file generation method for the Display Model, which will be necessary for designing MMI of MCR(Main Control Room) in the furture.

In this paper we present the Bimodal-tram simulator using the PXI embedded real-time controllers. The Bimodal-tram is developed in KRRI (Korea Railroad Research Institute). The vehicle can be automatically operated by navigation control system (NCS). For the automatic driving, the vehicle lanes will be marked with permanent magnets that are placed in the ground. The vehicle is controlled by NCS. NCS governs the manual mode and automatic mode driving. The simulator is designed by an identical conception with the real control condition. The dynamic motion of vehicle is simulated by the nonlinear dynamic model. The control computer calculates the control values. The signal interface is linked by CAN communication. The simulation is processed by real-time base. The test driver can see the graphic motion of vehicle and can operate the steering wheel, gas and brake pedal to control direction and velocity of vehicle during the simulation. At present, the simulator is only operated by manual mode. The automatic mode will be linked after the control algorithm is finished. We will use the simulator to develop the control algorithm in the automatic mode. This paper shows the simulator designed for Bimodal-tram using real-time based controller. The results of the test using the simulator are presented and discussed.

A blood flow simulator is one of the experimental devices used to better understand the cardiovascular system. Time-Domain analysis is not sufficient to understand the cardiovascular system because of the effects related to pulsating flows. Even when the mean pressure and mean flow rate of the blood flow simulators are satisfied, the dynamic properties can differ from the desired performance. In this paper, the Windkessel model, a well-known mathematical model of the cardiovascular system, was employed to obtain optimized pressure using initial values. The Windkessel parameters, including flow resistance, R, are expected to lead to a better understanding of the dynamic behavior of cardiovascular systems.

Control systems in machinery equipment provide correction signals to motion units in order to reduce or cancel out the mismatches between sensor feedback signals and command or desired values. In this paper, we introduce a simulator for control characteristics of machinery equipment. The purpose of the simulator development is to provide mechanical system designers with the ability to estimate how much dynamic performance can be achieved from their design parameters and selected devices at the designing phase. The simulator has a database for commercial parts, so that the designers can choose appropriate components for servo controllers, motors, motor drives, and guide ways, etc. and then tune governing parameters such as controller gains and friction coefficients. The simulator simulates the closed-loop control system which is built and parameter-tuned by the designer and shows dynamic responses of the control system. The simulator treats the moving table as a 6 degrees-of-freedom rigid body and considers the motion guide blocks stiffness, damping and their locations as well as sensor locations. The simulator has been under development for one and a half years and has a few years to go before the public release. The primary achievements and features will be presented in this paper.

Many researches on the identification of a system have been carried out using a least square method, an adaptive filter, and so on. However, it is difficult to apply these methods in a nonlinear system. In the case of a nonlinear system, it is known that the signal compression method is able to estimate uncertain parameters of linear element in a nonlinear system because it is able to separate linear element and nonlinear element in a nonlinear system. However, the signal compression method cannot be applied to a motion simulator because actuators of the simulator is single-rod cylinders which includes expansion and compression dynamic properties. Therefore, this paper proposes a modified signal compression method which is able to estimate uncertain parameters of the motion simulator dynamics. The dynamic properties of this system are identified by separating expansion and compression properties when applying the signal compression method. And then, the identified parameters are applied to design a sliding mode controller for the simulator. The performance of the designed sliding mode controller is evaluated experimentally.
