Track shoes improve the off-road driving ability of tanks. The strength of the track shoe body directly affects the driving ability of tanks, self-propelled artillery, and armored vehicles. In this study, the design technique for track shoe body was investigated. To select the optimal design of track shoe body, three track shoe body models were suggested and compared. Tensile strength was calculated using computer-aided engineering (CAE) analysis. Compressive tests were conducted using the original tank sprocket because sprocket compression is critical to the lifespan of the track shoe body. As a result, one track shoe body design was selected and the process of track shoe body design was described.

Unwanted vibrations are inevitably induced in other directions when pure unidirectional vibration motion is desired for the vertical scratching mechanism. Pure vertical vibration motion of the scratching machine can be obtained by driving identical two motors with symmetrically positioned eccentric unbalance masses. The desired optimal condition for driving pure vertical vibration for the scratching machine is assumed to be the resonance condition in that direction. Imposing the flexibility of the scratching machine in the horizontal direction, we can find out the amount of horizontal vibration component while maintaining the resonance in vertical direction. The desired stiffness in horizontal direction which produces the minimum vibration in horizontal direction are defined which can be used as a guide line to design the supporting structure of the scratching machine.

Optimizing the performance of a composite sensor array is necessary when the number of sensors to choose from is large. In this paper, we present a chemical sensors array optimization method using Wilks Lamda algorithm applicable a device to detect low concentration of alcohol from driver's exhale breath for interlocking engine ignition preventing drink-driving. More than 20 chemical sensors fabricated different synthetic stuffs and heater temperatures by collaborators were nominated, 5 sensors were selected for optimal sensors array using the method, and alcohol samples were well discriminated from the interference gases inside the vehicle. It has been confirmed by Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

Automotive transmission is the principle component of vehicle driving system, which transmits the adjusted engine power. The automation of transmission arises from the annoyance of transmission operation such as the frequent stop/start of vehicle and the shifting transients. The study on the optimal shifting condition for the automation of transmission needs the investigation of shifting transients. However, the dynamic modeling theory during transient period is not well-established. In this study, the techniques of dynamic modeling for the power transmission system with Merrite-Wilson gear train are presented. To predict the shifting transients, a driving simulation program is developed, and the results of the analysis are cross-checked in the field test.

This paper describes design procedure and control strategy of HDC(High side DC/DC Converter) and MCU(Motor Control Unit) for diesel hybrid electric vehicle. In designing HDC and MCU for HEV high power density and reliability is strongly needed to meet the demand of automotive industry. In order to achieve the high performance of a controller, MPC5554 based control board is developed. An optimized film capacitor and inductor are also developed for high efficiency driving. Skim 63 IGBT module of SEMIKRON for automotive is used for power switching device. The most efficient cooling model for optimal size and reliability were verified by simulation. These procedures are verified by bench or driving test and the results are present in this paper.

The linear actuator has the inherent drawback of air gap variation because its linear motion is usually guided by the springs, which destabilizes the dynamic performance. In order to design the linear actuator to be insensitive to air gap, this paper describes the robust design of the air compressor driving linear actuator using Taguchi method. The orthogonal arrays are constructed with selected control factors and noise factor for minimum experiment. The control factors are thickness of inner magnet, height of upper yoke, thickness of outer magnet and thickness of lower yoke while noise factor is airgap. The finite element analysis using commercial electromagnetic analysis program "MAXWELL" are performed instead of experiment. ANOVA are performed to investigate the effects of design factors. In result, the optimal robust linear actuator which is insensitive to air gap variation is designed.

Mobility of an indoor wheeled robot is affected by adhesion force that is related to various floor conditions. When the adhesion force between driving wheels and the floor decreases suddenly, the robot has slip state. First of all, this paper models adhesion characteristics and slip in wheeled robot. Secondly, the paper proposes estimation method of adhesion force coefficient(AFC) according to slip velocity. In order to overcome this slip problem, optimal slip velocity must be decided for stable movement of wheeled robot. The paper proposes an anti-slip control system based on an ordinary disturbance observer, that is, the re-adhesion control is achieved by reducing the driving torque enough to give maximum adhesion force coefficient. fuzzy logic controller(FLC) is petty useful with slip through that compare fuzzy with PI control for the controller performance. These procedure is implemented using a Pioneer 2-DXE parameter.

In this paper, a controller design method for the DC motor driving system is described emphasizing the specified degree of accuracy undergoing large time varying disturbances, coulomb friction and arm-load resonance. A feedforward compensation technique using the current controller is proposed, and resulting in the performance improvement as well as the implementational simplicity. A time-weighted quadratic performance index is used in the optimization of the controller, which is a salient way of obtaining better closed-loop performance in a simple manner. Computer simulations are also given to show the usefulness of the proposed techniques.

This paper presents a simple torque estimation method and the switching angle control of SRM using Neural Network. SRM has gaining much interest as industrial applications due to the simple structure and high efficiency. Adaptive switching angle control is essential for the optimal driving of a SRM because of the driving characteristic varies with the load and speed. The proper switching angle which can increase the efficiency was investigated in this paper Neural Network was adapted to regulate the switching angle and nonlinear inductance modelling. Experimental result shows the validity of the switching angle controller.

This paper represents the study on the development of semi-active bicycle suspension system. The road vibration and transmissibility of front suspension are obtained by driving test on proving ground. The numerical simulation is evaluated by dynamic system modeling and equation of motion. The numerical simulation are performed to estimate the optimal damping force for minimal vibration transmission. And oscillating displacement is calculated and analyzed. Therefore the stoke which convert the damping characteristics is suggested from the driving test and numerical simulation.
