This paper concerns the design and application of an electro-rheological (ER) fluid damper to semiactive vibration control of rotor systems. In particular, the system under present study is constructed structurally flexible in order to explore multiple critical speeds within operation range. To this end, the dynamic models of the proposed ER damper and its associated amplifier are derived in the first place. Subsequently entire rotor system model is assembled along with the dynamics of the end effector based on a finite element method enabling prediction as to its free and forced vibration characteristics. Next, an artificial intelligent (AI) feedback controller is synthesized taking into account the peculiarity of Coulomb damping effect in rotor applications. Finally, computational and experimental results are presented including model validation and control performances. In practice, such an AI control proved effective whether the spin speed was either before or after critical speeds.

This paper presents vibration control of a CD-ROM(compact disc-read only memory) drive feeding system consisting of a new type of CD-ROM mount using an electro-rheologocal(ER) fluid. Chemically treated starch particles and silicon oil are used for EF fluid, and its field-dependent yield stresses are experimentally distilled under both the shear and the flow modes. On the basis of the yield stress, an appropriate size of ER CD-ROM mount adapted to conventional feeding system is designed and manufactured. Vibration isolation performance of the proposed mount is evaluated in the frequency domain and compared with that of conventional rubber mount. The ER CD-ROM mount is then installed to the drive feeding system and the system equation of motion is derived. The skyhook controller is then incorporated with the fuzzy technique to improve the performance of ER CD-ROM mount. A set of fuzzy parameters and control rules are obtained from a relation between vertical displacement and pitching motion of the feedng system. Followingthe formulation of the fuzzy-skyhook controller, computer simulation is undertaken in order to evaluate vibration suppression of the CD-ROM drive feeding system subjected to various excitations.

In the recent, electro-rheological fluid has been used for micro polishing of the 3-dimensional micro-aspherical lens and some sectional parts with defects on the wide flat wafer. The ER fluid has the properties that its viscosity has drastic changed under some electric fields. Therefore, ER fluid can be applicable to the micro polishing fur some parts using these properties. In this paper, the experimental device has been constructed using the precision milling machine in order to micro polishing far some sectional parts of a 4 inches wafer It is consisted of a small steel electrode, a wafer fixture, DC10mA and 5KV power supply unit, and a controller unit. Using the ER experimental device, possibility of amending for wide flat wafer and micro polishing of some micro part has been analyzed.

This paper presents a position control of a platform at the seaport cargo handling system. After brief description of the operating principles of the cargo handling system, the governing equation of the moving platform is derived. The equation is described in the state space model, and a robust H$_{\infty}$ controller to achieve position tracking of the moving platform. which can carry 200ton of containers, is formulated. In the synthesis of the controller, the weight of the container is treated as uncertain parameter. Both regulating and tracking control responses are analyzed for the loading and unloading procedures of the proposed automatic cargo handling system.

This paper presents a parametric study and an optimal design of the ER-SFD supporting a rigid rotor system. An attempt is made to obtain the optimal design of an ER-SFD for a two degree-of-freedom rotor model. Such a simple model is used in order to get a better insight into the physics of the problem. A maximum whirl amplitude, supply pressure and voltage are considered, and a maximum whirl amplitude is minimized over a range of speeds and presented f3r some values of unbalance mass. The results presented in this paper provide important design information necessary to reduce a whirl amplitude of an ER-SFD.

Aminated polyacrylonitrile as the new organic disperse phases of the anhydrous ER fluid has been synthesized and ER effect of the suspension composed of aminated polyacrylonitrile in silicone oil investigated. The suspension showed a typical ER response (Bingham flow behavior) upon application of an electric field. The shear stress for the suspension exhibited the dependence with a factor equals to 1.6 power on theelectric field. The current density and the conductivity of the of aminated polyacrylonitrile suspension increase with the electric field intensity and moreover the conductivity of the suspension is about 8 order of magnitude higher than that of the silicone oil. On the basis of the the results, aminated polyacrylonitrile suspension showed the ER flow behavior upon application of the electric field due to the polarizability of the branched amine polar group of the aminated polyacrylonitrile particles.

This paper presents a new concept of a semi-active suspension system for a commercial vehicle seat. The proposed suspension system features an ER(electro-rheological) damper which can produce continuously tunable damping forces by control electric fields. A dynamic model of the ER damper is first achieved by incorporating Bingham property of the ER fluid, followed by the formulation of governing equations of motion for the suspension system. A sliding mode controller is then designed on the basis of the hyper-plane sliding mode scheme. The effectiveness of the proposed control system is evaluated by investigating control performance for vibration isolation.

Electro-Rheological(ER) fluid is applied to a controllable squeeze film damper(SFD) for stabilizing a flexible rotor system. ER fluid is a class of functional fluid whose yield stress varies according to the applied electric field strength, which is observed as viscosity variation of the fluid. In applying ER fluid to a SFD, a pair of rings of the damper can be used as electrodes. When the electrodes are divided into a horizontal pair and a vertical one, the SFD can produce damping force in each direction independently. A prototype of the directionally controllable SFD was constructed and its performance was experimentally and numerically investigated in the present work.

In this work, performance analysis to improve ride comfort of an ER (electrorheological) fluid damper for a mid-sized passenger vehicle in terms of tire pressure is presented. An ER damper by considering specification for a mid-sized commercial passenger vehicle is proposed and mechanically designed. After manufacturing and assembling the proposed ER damper with design parameters, their performance such as field-dependent damping forces are experimentally measured. A quarter-vehicle ER ECS (Electronic Control Suspension) system consisting of the ER damper, sprung mass, spring, sky-hook controller and tire is constructed to analysis the ride comfort performances. Vertical tire stiffness with different tire pressure is experimentally measured and investigated. In addition, ride comfort analysis such as vertical acceleration root mean square (RMS) of sprung mass is investigated under bump road using quarter-vehicle test equipment.

간헐 회전식 약실 계가 화력 대 무장 공간의 비율 관점에서 볼 때 중구경 자동포에 크게 유익하다고 보고되었다. 그러나 약실계의 핵심 부품인 평행 인덱스가 인덱스 터릿에 설치되는 캠종동절의 상대적으로 낮은 횡 강성으로 인하여 비틀림 방향으로 유연해지는 경향이 있으며, 이는 결국 터릿과 약실 사이의 연결 축이 상당한 크기의 비틀림 잔류 진동에 노출되어 탄 장전과 발사 시에 심각한 비정렬 문제를 야기시킬 수 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 논문에서는 상기 진동을 억제하는 ER 유체 작동기와 그에 적합한 반능동 제어 알고리듬을 제안하게 되었으며, 전체 계의 수학적 모델링과 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통하여 그 성능이 만족스러움을 입증하였다.
