In this work, the semi-active control of a large-sized bus suspension system with an MR damper was studied. An MR damper model that can aptly describe the hysteretic characteristics of an MR damper was adopted. Parameter values of the MR damper model were suitably modified by considering the maximum damping force of a passive damper used in the suspension system of a real large-sized bus. In addition, a fuzzy logic controller was developed for semi-active control of a suspension system with an MR damper. The vertical acceleration at the attachment point of the MR damper and the relative velocity between sprung and unsprung masses were used as input variables, while voltage was used as the output variable. Straight-ahead driving simulations were performed on a road with a random road profile and on a flat road with a bump. In straight-ahead driving simulations, the vertical acceleration and pitch angle were measured to compare the riding performance of a suspension system with a passive damper with that of a suspension with an MR damper. In addition, a single lane change simulation was performed. In the simulation, the lateral acceleration and roll angle were measured in order to compare the handling performance of a suspension system using a passive damper with that of a suspension system using an MR damper.

In the design of a combat vehicle, various performances such as firepower, mobility and survivability, etc., should be considered. Furthermore, since these performances relate to each other, design framework which can treat an integrated system should be employed to design the combat vehicle. In this paper, we use empirical interior ballistic and 3D combat vehicle analyses for predicting firepower and mobility performances which are developed in previous study (1) integrated performance modeling. In firepower performance, pitch and roll angle by sequential firing are considered. In mobility performance, vertical acceleration after passing through a bump is regarded. However, since there are many design variables such as mass of vehicle, mass of suspension, spring and damping coefficient of suspension and tire, geometric variables of vehicle, etc., for firepower and mobility performance, we utilize analysis of variance and quality function deployment to reduce the number of design variables. Finally, integrated design optimization is carried out for integrated performance such as firepower and mobility.

The global performance of the 5MW OC4 semisubmersible floating wind turbine in random waves was numerically simulated by using the turbine-floater-mooring fully coupled and time-domain dynamic analysis program FAST-CHARM3D. There have been many papers regarding floating offshore wind turbines but the effects of second-order wave-body interactions on their global performance have rarely been studied. The second-order wave forces are actually small compared to the first-order wave forces, but its effect cannot be ignored when the natural frequencies of a floating system are outside the wave-frequency range. In the case of semi-submersible platform, second-order difference-frequency wave-diffraction forces and moments become important since surge/sway and pitch/roll natural frequencies are lower than those of typical incident waves. The computational effort related to the full second-order diffraction calculation is typically very heavy, so in many cases, the simplified approach called Newman's approximation or first-order-wave-force-only are used. However, it needs to be justified against more complete solutions with full QTF (quadratic transfer function), which is a main subject of the present study. The numerically simulated results for the 5MW OC4 semisubmersible floating wind turbine by FAST-CHARM3D are also extensively compared with the DeepCWind model test results by Technip/NREL/UMaine. The predicted motions and mooring tensions for two white-noise input-wave spectra agree well against the measure values. In this paper, the numerical static-offset and free-decay tests are also conducted to verify the system stiffness, damping, and natural frequencies against the experimental results. They also agree well to verify that the dynamic system modeling is correct to the details. The performance of the simplified approaches instead of using the full QTF are also tested.

본 논문은 피치 바이어스 모멘텀 방식을 사용하는 HAUSAT-2 위성의 모멘텀 휠 초기구동(Start-up)을 위한 방안을 연구 분석하고 초소형위성 HAUSAT-2에 적합한 새로운 초기구동 방법을 제안하였다. HAUSAT-2는 25kg급의 나노 위성으로 모멘텀 휠과 마그네틱 토커를 사용하여 3축 제어를 수행한다. 자세제어를 위해 모멘텀 휠은 공칭 속도로 회전하거나 회전속도가 변하게 된다. 모멘텀 휠을 장착한 위성에서 휠의 초기구동방법은 휠을 발사 전에 미리 일정한 속도로 회전하게 하거나, 궤도상에서 추력기와 같은 구동기로 자세를 안정화 시킨 이후에 휠을 공칭속도에 도달하게 하는 방법이 있다. 하지만 HAUSAT-2와 같은 초소형위성의 경우 전력제한으로 발사 전 휠을 구동하기 힘들며, 궤도상에서 자세 안정화 이후 휠을 구동하기 위해서는 자기토커만으로 자세를 안정화 해야 하는데 이 경우 시간이 오래 걸리는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 좀더 빠르고 효율적으로 휠의 초기구동과 자세안정화를 하기 위해서 모멘텀 휠 구동 방안을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 위성이 발사체에서 분리된 후 초기 각속도 제어를 할 때 일정한 속도 증가율로 모멘텀 휠의 속도를 올려주어 공칭 속도에 도달하게 하며, 이 후 자세 안정화를 수행하게 된다. 이 방식을 사용하면 약 4 궤도 이내에 휠 초기구동과 자세 안정화를 성공적으로 이룰 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다.
