The increased demand for a higher performing magnetic suspension and balance system (MSBS) resulted in an increase in costs for the efforts necessary for achieving an improved MSBS. Therefore, MSBS performance should be predicted during the design in order to reduce risk. This paper presents the modeling and simulation of an MSBS that controls 6-degree of freedom (DOF) of an aerodynamic body within the MSBS. Permanent magnets and electromagnets were modeled as coils, and this assumption was verified by experimental results. Finally, an MSBS simulator was developed, predicting that the MSBS is able to contain the model within a bounded region as well as measure external forces acting on the body during wind tunnel tests.

자기부상 비접촉식 밸런스(MSBS: Magnetic Suspension and Balance System)는 자기력 및 자기모멘트를 이용하여 기계적 접촉 없이 시험 대상체의 위치 및 자세각을 정밀하게 변경하며 외력을 측정하는 것이 가능하다. MSBS를 활용한 풍동실험의 신뢰도 및 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 위치 및 자세각 제어시스템의 명령 추종 성능과 구성장비의 고장에 대한 강건성을 높일 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 실제 개발된 풍동실험용 MSBS의 시뮬레이션을 통해 Iterative Feedback Tuning (IFT)과 $L_1$ adaptive output feedback 알고리즘을 활용하여 제어 이득값을 자동적으로 최적화하고 전류공급장치의 고장에 강건한 제어시스템을 설계하는 방법의 유효성을 검증하였다.

This paper introduces an experimental device which can measure accurate aerodynamic forces without support interference in wide experimental region for wind tunnel test of micro aerial vehicles (MAVs). A stereo pattern recognition (SPR) method was introduced to a magnetic suspension and balance system (MSBS), which can eliminate support interference by levitating the experimental model, to establish wider experimental region; thereby MSBS-SPR integrated system was developed. The SPR method is non-contact, highly accurate three-dimensional position measurement method providing wide measurement range. To evaluate the system performance, a series of performance evaluations including SPR system measurement accuracy and 6 degrees of freedom (DOFs) position/attitude control of the MAV model were conducted. This newly developed system could control the MAV model rapidly and accurately within almost 60mm for translational DOFs and 40deg for rotational DOFs inside of $300{\times}300mm$ test section. In addition, a static wind tunnel test was conducted to verify the aerodynamic force measurement capability. It turned out that this system could accurately measure the aerodynamic forces in low Reynolds number, even for the weak forces which were hard to measure using typical balance system, without making any mechanical contact with the MAV model.
