The objective of this paper is to propose a new velocity measurement method for an electro-mechanical fin actuator. The model of the electro-mechanical fin actuator includes uncertainties such as unknown disturbances and parameter variations in flight condition. So, an electro-mechanical fin actuator system needs robust control algorithm which requires not only position information but also velocity information. Usually, analog tachometers have been used for velocity feedback in an electro-mechanical fin actuator. However, using these types of sensors have problems such as the cost, space, and malfunction. These problems lead to propose a new velocity measurement method using linear type Hall-effect sensor. In order to verify the proposed method, several experiments are performed using Model Following Sliding Mode Controller(MFSMC). It is shown that the MFSMC with a new velocity measurement method using linear type Hall-effect sensor can satisfy the requirements without using of velocity sensor.

This study investigated the structural behaviors and safety of an electro-mechanical linear actuator and a load simulator with a plate spring. The material and dimensions of the plate spring were determined by theoretically calculating the stress and torsional angle for the rating load of the actuator. Thereafter, a flexible multibody dynamics (FMBD) analysis was conducted on the linear actuator and load simulator to confirm the performance of the load simulator and acquire the reaction forces acting on the actuator and simulator. The structural safety of the linear actuator and load simulator was evaluated via finite element analysis using the aforementioned reaction forces. Consequently, the proposed linear actuator and load simulator were determined to be structurally safe; however, the safety factors for the actuation rod and the housing on the actuator were excessively high. Therefore, the weight and cost must be reduced to improve their design parameters in the future.

In this study, we improved control performance of an EMV (electromechanical valve) system using a PM/EM (permanent magnet/electromagnet) hybrid EMA (electromagnetic actuator) and showed the feasibilities of both soft landing and fast transition of the EMV system using a simple PID control. The conventional EMV systems using only EM show significant nonlinear characteristics. Therefore, it is very difficult to control the valve position and several complex control schemes are used. This paper focused on the control performance improvement using a PM/EM hybrid actuator. In particular, a PM is used as a key design parameter such as a bias current of a magnetic bearing in order to improve the linear characteristic of the actuator, although most PM/EM hybrid actuators use a PM as a power saver during valve-open and -closed states. First, a FE (finite element) analysis was performed to confirm its linear static force characteristics. Then, both a test rig and a valve control system were built in order to prove experimentally the control performance improvement of the actuator. Finally, feasibilities of both soft landing and fast transition of the system were shown experimentally through gain-scheduled PID (proportional derivative integral) control.

In this study, an extended-state-observer (ESO) based non-linear servo control is introduced for an electro-hydrostatic actuator (EHA). Almost hydraulic systems not only are highly non-linear system that has mismatched uncertainties and external disturbances, but also can not measure some states. ESO that only use an output signal can be used to compensate these uncertainties and estimate unmeasurable states. To improve the position tracking performance, the barrier Lyapunov function (BLF) that can guarantee an output tolerance is introduced for the position tracking error signal of back stepping control procedures. Finally, the proposed servo control is compared with the proportional-integral (PI) control.

최근 항공분야에서는 온실가스 배출 저감을 위한 친환경 기술이 강조되면서 전기를 주동력원으로 기계적인 직진, 회전 운동을 제어하는 전기식 작동기의 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 단일통로 항공기 전륜조향용 전기식 작동기의 피로수명을 평가하였다. 구조해석을 통해 작동기의 취약부위들을 선정하여 이들에 대한 단위하중 응력표를 구축하였고, 각 하중 프로파일에 대한 대표응력을 계산하였다. 또한 낙수계수법으로 대표응력 그룹의 개별 프로파일을 추출하고, 이를 소재의 S-N 선도에 적용하여 개별 프로파일에 대한 손상을 계산하였다. 최종적으로 손상누적법칙으로 취약 부위들에서의 총 손상을 산출하였고, 단일통로 항공기 전륜조향용 전기식 작동기의 취약 부위들에 대한 피로수명을 평가하였다.

Electro-hydraulic spring return actuator(ESRA) is utilized for air conditioning facilities in a nuclear power plant. It features self-contained, hydraulic power that is integrally coupled to a single acting hydraulic cylinder and provides efficient and precise linear control of valves as well as return of the actuator to the de-energized position upon loss of power. In this paper, the algebraic equations of ESRA at steady-state have been developed for the analysis of static characteristics that includes control pressure and valve displacement of pressure reducing valve, flow force on flapper as well as its displacement over the entire operating range. Also, the effect of external load on piston deviation is investigated in terms of linear system analysis. The results of static characteristics show the unique feature of force balance mechanism and can be applied to the stable self-controlled mechanical system design of ESAR.

In this paper. the lumped electrical circuit approach of mass/spring system is used to model the mechanical aspects according to the frequency. Therefore, the mass/spring system can be dealt with here and linked with the equivalent circuit of electric linear oscillatory actuator(LOA). Analysis models are double-coil type linear compressor for stirling refrigerator. The compressor consists of the moving coil LOA, piston, and spring. The electro-mechanical system with mass and spring can be represented using the lumped electrical circuit. We present the system impedance and dynamics of moving coil linear compressor.

In this study, the back-drivability of the single-rod and double-rod type EHAs (Electro-Hydrostatic Actuators) was compared by computer simulation and experiments. The back-drivability of EHAs exhibit non-linear behavior like their force tracking performance. In case of the double-rod type EHA, the back-drivability was mostly influenced by the bulk modulus of oil that changes with the working pressure due to entrapped air. The back-drivability of the single-rod type EHA was directly affected by the operation states of its pilot-operated check valves, while the asymmetrical piston geometry and the non-linear bulk modulus of oil also made the dynamic response in building up the cylinder pressure dependent on the operating conditions.

In this study, the force tracking performance of the single-rod and double-rod type EHAs (Electro-Hydrostatic Actuators) was compared by computer simulation and experiments. The force-controlled EHAs exhibit non-linear behavior that are significantly dependent on operation conditions. The investigation focused on localizing the parameters that provide significant rise to the non-linearity. For this, the single-rod and double-rod type EHAs were mathematically expressed to derive their linear models. In parallel, they were modeled by a commercial simulation program including non-linear properties based on experimental results. It was shown that the dependency of the bulk modulus of oil with entrapped air on working pressure dominated the non-linearity in force control performance in case of the double-rod type EHA. The force control of the single-rod type EHA was influenced by much more elements. Besides the asymmetrical piston geometry and the non-linear bulk modulus of oil, its pilot-operated check valves made it dependent not only on the magnitude of reference input but also on its direction.
