Recently, conventional hydraulic car lift systems face the technological limitations due to a lack of height control. The demand for height controllability is required in many tasks such as wheel alignment, and requires compensation for the structural deformation of the lift caused by irregular load distribution. In order to resolve this limitation of the conventional car lift, in this work, a new type of a hydraulic vehicle lift using a magneto-rheological (MR) valve system is proposed and analyzed. Firstly, the dynamic model of vehicle lift is formulated to evaluate control performance; subsequently, an MR valve is designed to obtain the desired pressure drop required in the car lift. Next, a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is formulated to achieve accurate control of the lifting height and then computer simulations are undertaken to show accurate height control performances of the proposed new car lift system.

Unlike general unmanned aerial vehicles, the quad-rotor is attracting the attention of many people because of simple structure and very useful value. However, as the interest in drones increases, the safety and location of vehicles are becoming more important provide against aviation safety accidents or lost accidents. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a tracking system that stabilizes the model with a simple controller by linearized modeling and grasp tilt angle data from various sensor through the filter. The developed tracking system transmits the position of the quad-rotor in flight to the computer and shows it through the route, so it can check the flight path and various information such as flight speed and altitude at the same time. Then the sensor used in the actual quad-rotor can not measure exact sensor data for disturbance and vibration. So we use sensor fusion of Kalman filter and Complementary filter to overcome this problem and the stability of the quad-rotor hovering is realized by PID control. Through simulation, various information such as the speed, position, and altitude of the quad-rotor were confirmed in real time.

For a missile with a strapdown seeker, line-of-sight rate for guidance is obtained by compensating the look angle rate from the strapdown seeker by the body angular rate from rate gyros. However, the body angular rate from rate gyros has different signal properties when it compared to the body angular rate implicitly included in the look angle rate. Typically this discrepancy causes instability of homing loop. In this paper, we propose a design method of homing loop where seeker delay is compulsively placed in the output signal of the rate gyros for accordance of both body rates. Also, PID control loop is considered for obtaining stabilized guidance command even though uncertainties of seeker delay is associated. The stability analysis for the linear homing loop before and after the compensation has been done. The stability and performance of the designed terminal homing loop is verified through full nonlinear 6-DOF simulations.

This paper resents a novel cargo system adapted for a sea port subjected to severe time-varying tide. The proposed system can perform loading or unloading by using a sort of hydraulic elevator associated with real-tim position control. As a preliminary phase, a small-sized model of the cargo system is designed and constructed. The model consists of three principal components ; container palette transfer(CPT) car, platform with lifting columns and cargo ship. The platform activated by the electro-rheological(ER) valve-cylinder is actively controlled to track the position of the cargo ship subjected to be varied due to the time-varying tide and wave motion. Following the derivation of the dynamic model for the platform and cargo ship motions, an appropriate control scheme incorporating time sequence and PID(proportional-integral-derivative) controller is formulated and implemented. Both the simulated and the measured control results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed cargo system.

The development of a large-scale thermal power plant control simulator consists of water/steam systems, air/combustion systems, pulverizer systems and turbine/generator systems. Modeling is possible for all systems except mechanical turbines/generators. Currently, there have been attempts to develop neural network simulators for some systems of a boiler, but the development of simulator for the whole system has never been completed. In particular, autoTuning, one of the key technology developments of all power generation companies, is a technology that can be achieved only when modeling for all systems with high accuracy is completed. The simulation results show accuracy of 95 to 99% or more of the actual boiler system, so if the field PID controller is fitted to this simulator, it will be available for fault diagnosis or auto-tuning.

An active mount is devised in same geometric constraints with a conventional rubber mount. The proposed mount features the piezoelectric actuator which can be used to reduce the vibration at marine vessels or automotive vehicles. As a first step, a passive rubber mount is adopted and its dynamic characteristics are experimentally evaluated. Based on the geometry of the rubber mount, a rubber element for the active mount is manufactured and integrated with two piezostacks in series, in which the piezostack is operated as an inertial type of actuator. A conventional PID controller featured by the simple and easy implementation, is then designed to attenuate the non-resonant high frequency vibration transmitted from the base excitation. Finally, the control performances of a proposed active mount are evaluated in the wide frequency range and compared with those of the conventional rubber mount.

To help solve the problems of how to set the optimal sawing force and the optimal controller parameters for different sawing conditions, a mathematical model of a proposed sawing system was established according to the principle of sawing force control. The conventional PID control method was then used for further research of the closed-loop control of the sawing force. Finally, through simulation and experimental research, the influence rule of the controller parameters and sawing load on the control performance and the relationships between the sawing width and controller parameters (proportion coefficient) and the sawing force setting value were obtained, from which a system scheme for intelligent sawing control of a band sawing machine was proposed. The research shows that the sawing efficiency of the intelligent sawing system was 18.1 (48%) higher than that of the original sawing system when sawing a grooved section sawing material, which verifies the good control effect of the proposed scheme.

This paper developed the algorithm for improving the performance the auto pilot in the autonomous vehicle system consisting of the Track keeping control, the Automatic steering, and the Automatic mooring control. The automatic steering is the control device that could save the voyage distance and cost of fuel by reducing the unnecessary burden of driving due to the continuous artificial navigation, and avoiding the route deviation. During the step of the ship autonomic navigation control, since the wind power or the tidal force could make the ship deviate from the fixed course, the automatic steering calculates the difference between actual sailing line and the set course to keep the ship sailing in the vicinity of intended course. first, we could get the transfer function for the modeling of ship according to the Nomoto model. Considering the maneuverability, we propose it as linear model with only 4 degree of freedoms to present the heading angle response to the input of rudder angle. In this paper, the model of ship is derived from the simplified Nomoto model. Since the proposed model considers the maximum angle and rudder rate of the ship auto pilot and also designs the Fuzzy controller based on existing PID controller, the performance of the steering machine is well improved.
