In this study, a high-speed servo valve with no outer leakage is developed, which is used to drive flexible hydraulic actuators (FHA) for extreme environments. In the valve, multilayered PZT devices are used to drive a spool directly and quickly. A bellows is also used to prevent outer leak from the clearance between the spool and the sleeve. Employing a disturbance observer, the lack of the system damping of the valve is improved by feeding back the estimated velocity of the spool, as well as the estimated disturbance is fed back to eliminate effectively the hysteresis between input voltage and output displacement of the PZT devices.

According to the recent increase of demands for multi-function and economics on hydraulic excavator, it is required that excavator should have simple operation, higher and operational efficiency, however the modeling of engine/pump system of excavator is not prescribed by the paper. So, in this paper the modeling of engine/pump system of excavator is suggested by identification method from step response and verified effectiveness of identification system by comparing with experimental results which was conducted using PID controller. To improve the problem of parameter variation and modeling error in the system, sliding mode control was introduced and new switching surface was designed. This control algorithm was applied to a hydraulic excavator by simulation, and its effectiveness was verified, and the results of variable structure system for the excavator system using a output component was compared with that of full state feedback when load disturbances and system paramenter variation exist.

The position control of the electro-hydraulic servo indexing system in a flexible forging machine was investigated. The role of an Electro-hydraulic servoindexing system is to rotate a workpiect fast and accurately to a desired position. Since the inertia of a workpiece changes during each forging step, an adapt control scheme could be adopted to the position control of the workpiece. A generalized predictive control method which depends on predicting the plant output over several steps ahead based on the assumption about future control actions is proposed. The perormance of the proposed GPC algorithm is investigated experimentally and compared with that of PID control. Experimental results show that the proposed GPC algorithm is satisfactory for the position control of the workpiece of an electrohydraulic indexing system.

This study suggests a new type shaft generator driven by hydraulic power suitable for small size vessels. Since the shaft generator system is very easy to be affected by disturbances such as speed variation of the main engine and the load variation of the generator, a robust servo control must be performed to obtain stable electric power with constant frequency. So, in this study the robust servo control method is adopted to the controller design. Dynamic characteristics on the frequency variations of the electric power output according to the disturbances are investigated by computer simulations. From the considerations of the computer simulation results, it is ascertained that the shaft generator system proposed in this study had good control performances.

It is widely noted that pressure feedback systems have been devised to damp the fluid resonance effectively in precision speed control-for large inertia system. A compensation technique preserving the natural output disturbance discrimination characteristics at lower frequencies is proposed The load pressure across positive displacement acceleration. The technique involves feeding back load differential pressure, sensed by pressure transducers, though a simple analog compensatory circuit (high pass filter). The effectiveness of the damping is determined by the filter time donstant and loop gain. Nonlinear total hydraulic simulation results verify the possibility of linear model predictions of extending the closed loop bandwidth beyond the uncompensated frequency.

The sludge grown up in steam generators of nuclear power plants shortens the life-cycle of steam generators and reduces the output of power plants. So KHNP(Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power), the only nuclear power utility in Korea, removes it periodically using a steam generator lancing system during the outage of plants for an overhaul. KEPRI(Korea Electric Power Research Institute) has developed lancing systems with high pressured water nozzle for steam generators of nuclear power plants since 2001. In this paper, the design of a partial inter-tube lancing system for model F type steam generators will be described. The system is actuated without a DC motor inner steam generators because the motors in a steam generator make a trouble from high intensity of radioactivity as a break down.

Hydraulic system is difficult to obtain a suitable performance due to the nonlinearity load pressure change and system parameter variation. The requirement of control a1gorithm has been complex in order to satisfy the performance. The adaptive control is a control method which is suggested to achieve the control object under the plant characteristics change. In spite of the case that plant characteristics and the degree of variation are difficult to grasp. the adaptive control could keep the characteristics of closed-loop system generally. In this study. a method of combined generalized minimum variance adaptive control (GMVAC) and output error feedback is proposed, in order to solve the problem of non-minimum phase of plant and the vibration and overshoot in initial response. The control performance according to the variation of characteristics of plant is evaluated by changing the supply pressure. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Autonomous speedsprayer operation was conducted using the developed FLC(Fuzzy Logic Controller). Orchard image and signals of ultrasonic sensors were processed in real time. The speedsprayer was modified to be steered by two hydraulic cylinders. The FLC has two inputs, direction of running and distance from obstacles. The operation time of hydraulic cylinders were inferred as output of the FLC. Field test results showed that the speedsprayer could be autonomously operated by the FLC along with the image processing and the ultrasonic sensors. The ultrasonic sensors didn't contribute to the improvement of guidance performance, but the speedsprayer could avoid trees or obstacles in emergent situations with them.

Up to now, there has been a lot of researches on the sliding mode control which has the insensitive characteristics to the variations of plant parameters, nonlinearities and external disturbances. One difficulty in applying the sliding mode control is the need for the knowledge of the full-state vector. The use of state observer is a natural step towards the relaxation of this condition. However, the exact plant-modeling is assumed to be known. Recently, there has been a remarkable advance in the microprocessor and one can construct the controller which could not realize due to hardware restriction in the past. Therefore in this paper, the PID sliding mode controller which has only one output feedback signal is suggested by means of microprocessor and the performance of electro-hydraulic servosystem compensated with this controller is proved.

In this study, the function of a hydraulic brake system with a vacuum booster is systematically analyzed according to the mutual relations which follow : - the brake pedal force vs. booster cylinder input force - the booster output force vs. master cylinder input force - the hydraulic line pressure vs. braking deceleration. A computer program is developed based on the theory which is able to predict and analyze the pedal force characteristics at the beginning of the initial stage of brake system design. Analytical results show good agreement with the experimental vehicle test.
