Pneumatic damping through a orifice type duct for OWC type wave energy device is studied experimentally. Forced oscillation tests are made to measure chamber pressure and velocity of air flaw through orifice. Pneumatic damping coefficient are deducted from the experimental research, and discussion are made far the influence of frequency, heave amplitude, and orifice size. Finally two formula are proposed for the estimation of non-dimensional pneumatic damping coefficient by regression analysis. The proposed formula proves to be a reliable method far practical application.

A method for the position control of a pneumatic cylinder using a linearized controller is proposed. Pneumatic cylinder has highly nonlinear characteristics and modelling of the system has been difficult. Compliance of the pneumatic cylinder is materially changed according to the operating position. So, in the case that fixed gain controller obtained by a linearized model at a specified position is used, response of the cylinder should be changed according to the operating position. In order to get a designed results regardless of operating positions, a controller for compensation of the nonlinear characteristic with a linearlization compensator is designed and simulation results show that this method is appropriate for the control object.

Pneumatic control systems have the potential to provide high output power to weight and size ratios at a relatively low cost. However, they are mainly employed in open-loop control applications where positioning repeatability is not of great importance. This paper presents precision positioning control of pneumatic servo cylinder with on-off valve, Pneumatic low-friction cylinder with servo valve and DC servo motor under parameter variations. Basically positioning control uses PID controller, where needs a linearized model. A neural network is added to a PID controller to compensator nonlinearity of the system and an influence of friction force is consider as disturbance. The performances of the proposed algorithms were compared by experiments with them of PID controller. From those experiments is was shown that the proposed algorithms are more efficient about settling time, steady 7tate error and overshoot than PID control algorithm.

In industry pneumatic control system has become a important means to obtain automation because of its simplicity, fast speed and low cost. However Due to of the compressibility of air and damping friction between moving parts, it is difficult to achieve high speed driving, accurate positioning and stopping without overshoot in one pneumatic control system. This paper describes the dynamic behaviors of pneumatic linear actuator. The results will be very useful in the prediction of actuated dynamics and for the manufacturers to improve the techniques in their redesign and get better performance. Also, the experimental data is very important for the dynamic simulation and theoretical analysis.

This paper is concerned with effective operating method of pneumatic on-off valves for improving position control accuracy, valve life-time and position settling time using modified pulse width modulation with dead-zone (MPWMD). The pneumatic system using on-off valves has advantage of simple construction and low cost compared with a system with servo-valves. The performance of the proposed control method is investigated experimentally for the position control of a pneumatic cylinder using on-off valves. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm for valve operation can be used to obtain fast and accurate position control compared to the conventional PWMD algorithm. It is also shown that the use of the proposed MPWMD algorithm for the position control significantly reduces the number of valve switching and noise.

Pneumatic damping through an orifice-type duct for an OWC-type wave energy device is studied experimentally. Forced oscillation tests are used to measure chamber pressure and velocity of air-flow through an orifice. Pneumatic damping coefficients are deducted from the experimental research, and the influence of frequency, heave amplitude, and orifice size are discussed. Finally, two formulas are proposed for the estimation of non-dimensional pneumatic damping coefficient by regression analysis. The proposed formula proves to be a reliable method for practical application.

In this paper, a model reference adaptive control (MRAC) scheme is applied for the precise and robust motion control of a pneumatic system with load variation. The reference model for MRAC is designed systematically using linear quadratic Gaussian control with loop transfer recovery (LQG/LTR). The sigmoid function of inverse velocity is used to compensate for the nonlinear friction force between the sliding parts. The experimental results show that MRAC effectively overcame the limit of the PID controller when there was unknown disturbance, including abrupt load variation and model uncertainty in the pneumatic control system.

The benefits of the pneumatic valve with piezoelectric element are faster response times, low energy consumption, and the ability to be used in hazardous environments and field bus systems. In this paper, PZT actuator, 2 and 3 stages pneumatic valve were designed and manufactured. Also. characteristics of the pneumatic valve with piezoelectric element were tested with a testing system. It is confirmed that the PZT actuator is useful one for controlling the direction of pilot valve.

A cold gas blow-down hydraulic actuation system is widely used in missiles that require an actuation system with a fast response time under a limited space with a short operating time and large loads on the actuators. The system consists of a pneumatic part that supplies the regulated high-pressure gas to a reservoir, and a hydraulic part that supplies pressurized hydraulic oil to the actuators by the pressurized gas in the reservoir. This paper proposes a mathematical model to analyze and simulate the pneumatic part of an actuation system that supplies the operating power to the actuators. The mathematical model is based on the ideal gas equation and also considers the models for heat transfer. The model is applied to the pressure vessel and the gas part of the reservoir, and the model for the pneumatic part is established by connecting the two models for the parts. The model is validated through a comparison of the simulation results with the experimental results. The comparison shows that the suggested model could be useful in the design of the pneumatic part of a cold gas blow-down type hydraulic actuation system.

Exhaust brake system for Diesel engines is composed of gate valve, pneumatic cylinder and exhaust brake valve with on-off solenoid. Exhaust brake valve which is core component of exhaust brake system should have characteristics such as high reliability and long life. In this paper. exhaust brake valve with on-off solenoid which is used for vehicle brake system was studied. For the performance evaluation of on-off solenoid, electromagnetic characteristics and dynamic characteristics are analyzed. As a basic study for the performance improvement of exhaust brake system, pneumatic circuit and pneumatic valve with on-off solenoid were suggested and the performance of the pneumatic valve was evaluated through tests.
