Soft magnetic composites (SMCs) are especially suitable for the construction of low-cost, high-performance motors with 3-D magnetic fields. The main advantages of SMCs is that the iron particles are insulated by the surface coating and adhesive used for composite bonding, the eddy-current loss is much lower than that in laminated steels, especially at higher frequencies, and the hysteresis loss becomes the dominant component of core losses. These properties enable machines to operate at higher frequencies, resulting in reduced machine size and weight. In this paper, 3-D topologies are proposed that enable the application of SMCs to effectively reduce losses in high-speed permanent magnet (PM) motors. In addition, the electromagnetic field characteristics of the motor topologies are evaluated and compared using a non-linear finite element method (FEM) based on 3-D numerical analysis, and the feasibility of the motor designs is validated.

This paper deals with the power loss and thermal characteristics of induction motor for machine tools according to the rated power and speed. To reduce the fabrication error by thermal strain in rotational machine tools, we calculated the power loss and thermal behavior of induction motors. Firstly, the inverse design of general induction motors for machine tool spindle has been performed. The inverse design results are compared with the torque-speed characteristic curve in motor's catalog. The power loss are calculated by finite element method(FEM) at rated condition. Secondary, the transient thermal characteristics of induction motors are calculated by equivalent thermal resistance model from Motor-CAD S/W. The inverse design, power loss and thermal behavior calculation for induction motors with various rated power and speed has been performed. Finally, to verify the design and calculation process of induction motor, we implemented the experimental set with 0.4kW 1710rpm class industrial induction motor model. The obtained thermal characteristics of experimental model confirmed that the design and power loss calculation processes are appropriate to the prediction of thermal strain in rotational machine tools.

Achieving high-level technology in fields such as IT-related industry, semiconductors, mobile phones, LCD, automobile, shipbuilding, etc., Korea has become an international market leader in those fields. In results, there are the increasing numbers of technology leakage attempts in various manners. Recently, technology leakages are not limited to illegal industrial espionage, but also occur during usual corporate proceedings such as technology transfer, joint research and M&A. In fact, there was a technology leakage issue in the M&A between Ssangyong Motors of Korea and Shanghai Motors of China. Current M&A regulations of Korea are not independent laws, but are spread over various laws, such as commercial law, Capital Markets and the Financial Investment Services Act, Foreign Trade Act, etc. This paper focuses on whether the current Korean regulations regarding M&A are able to effectively restrict the leakage of major information of corporate during M&A and seeks the complements.

This paper presents a robust speed control method of induction motors(IM) using a Non-linear PI controller(NPI). NPI is high gain controller in region of small error, and low gain controller in region of large error. So in steady state, system will be robust against variation of load torque. The simulation and experiment results confirm the validity of proposed control scheme.

Coating materials for Evaporative Pattern Casting (EPC) process have been developed to investigate the effect of refractories on coating material properties. Three types of developed and one foreign coating materials were used. The former designated as A, B, C and the latter named S.K. The refractory of coating material A is spherical shape of zirconia, and the ones of B, C and S.K. is flake shape of mica. Strength, permeability at room and elevated temperature, anti-sand attachability and carbon residuary were evaluated at each coating materials. Permeability measurement device for elevated temperature was also designed. The zirconia type of coating material had excellent permeability, on the other hand the mica type had good strength and anti-sand attachability. It was found that the refractories were not broken during casting, so permeability indicated same trend at both room and elevated temperature. Based on results, coating material contained small size of mica which is designated as B has the best combination for cast iron.

The torque ripple of switched reluctance motors (SRMs) is the main disadvantage that limits the industrial application of these motors. Although several methods for smooth-toque operation (STO) have been proposed, STO works well only within a certain torque and speed range because of the constraints of the supply voltage and peak current. Based on previous work that sought to expand the STO range, a scheme is developed in this study to determine the maximum smooth torque range at each speed. The relationship between the maximum smooth torque and speed is defined as the smooth torque speed characteristics (STSC), a concept similar to torque speed characteristics (TSC). STSC can be utilized to evaluate torque utilization by comparing it with TSC. Thus, the concept benefits the special design of SRMs, especially for the generation of smooth torque. Furthermore, the torque sharing function (TSF) derived from the proposed method can be applied to STO, which produces a higher smooth torque over a wider speed range in contrast to four typical TSFs. TSimulation and experimental results verify the proposed method.

This paper presents the effective and reliable speed control of PMDC motors under variable loads and reference speeds. As is known DC motors are more preferred in industrial practices. This is that, the PMDC motors don’t require brush and commutator care and to increase in torque per motor depending on developments in power electronics. In this study, proportional-integral controller (PI) and fuzzy logic controller (FL) have been designed for speed control of PMDC motor. In the design of these controllers, characteristics such as minimum overrun time, response time to the load, settling time and ideal rise time have been taken into consideration for better stability performance. In this design, the best system response was searched by examining the effect of different defuzzification methods onto the fuzzy logic system response. In conclusion, it has been seen that FL controller has a better performance for variable speed-load control of PMDC motor compared to PI controller.
