This report describes the analytical characteristic of sinewave air gap flux density for the brushless AC motor with surface permanent magnet. The analysis of sinewave air gap flux density is the key to expect the performance of back EMF for the design of brushless AC motor. The numerical analysis and FEM analysis are performed to adopt radial and parallel flux magnetization of magnet on the rotor. And it is also executed to vary the magnet arc angle and arc radius for the condition of constant and non constant air gap. This report is focused on the characteristic of sinewave air gap flux density for permanent magnet of surface brushless AC motor. This results also have more reliable data against the previous paper which had the representative numerical analysis of air gap flux density[1][2].

Mobile Robot climbing stairs needs high power and high efficiency. one of the high power type motor is Transverse Flux Motor (TFM). Moreover, TFM is a high force density per volume. We analyzed a characteristic for the TFM and simulated the parametric research of the TPM by using 3D FEM solutions. It presents to design the basis of the TPM. design parameters are Radius of outer rotor, pole height, pole depth, pole depth, airgap, and Magnetomotive force.

In this paper, a novel MR brake with permanent magnet is developed. This system consists of rotary disk, permanent magnet, spring and MR fluid. Permanent magnets are attached to the rotary disk and moves in the direction of radius. The magnets are linked to rotor axis by spring. As rotation speed increases, the magnets move outward from the center of the system by centrifugal force in the MR fluid. A proper design of stator or case makes the system have unique torque characteristics. To show the performance of the system, the research is performed by following procedure. First, the electromagnetic characteristic of the system is analyzed using FEM and commercial code, Maxwell is used for this analysis. Then, torque is calculated using the result of the electromagnetic analysis to validate the performance of the system.

A new type of rotational motor which is developed has a resolution smaller than 10 $^{-4}$ radian and can be accessed for full rotational angles. The operation principle of the motor is based on inchworm motion of two belt driving mechanism. Flexure hinge mechanism, which is pertinent to symmetry construction of the motor, is designed to minimze the effort to frame and is analyzed by using finite element method. Depending on input signal amplitude, rotational angle by one cycle is varied form 0.2*10 $^{-4}$ rad to 9.76* $^{-4}$ rad. This shows that it has the capability of getting very small rotational angle by considering radius of rotor and amplitude of input signal.

This paper deals with characteristic analysis of axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) machines with axially magnetized PM rotor using quasi-3-D analysis modeling. On the basis of magnetic vector potential and a two-dimensional (2-D) polar-coordinate system, the magnetic field solutions due to various PM rotors are obtained. In particular, 3-D problem, that is, the reduction of magnetic fields near outer and inner radius of the PM is solved by introducing a special function for radial position. And then, the analytical solutions for back-emf and torque are also derived from magnetic field solutions. The predictions are shown in good agreement with those obtained from 3-D finite element analyses (FEA). Finally, it can be judged that analytical solutions for electromagnetic quantities presented in this paper are very useful for the AFPM machines in terms of following items : initial design, sensitivity analysis with design parameters, and estimation of control parameters.

In this study, the instability of a centrifugal compressor with vaned diffuser was investigated. During unstable operation of the test compressor, pressure fluctuations at different diffuser radius ratios were measured by using high frequency pressure transducers. Two different types of stall, mild and deep stalls, were observed alternately and irregularly at some flow rates where the compressor performance was steeply deteriorated. In this transient zone, the size of rotating stall cell was estimated through the wavelet transform analysis. It was about 45 percents of rotor circumferential space at 300 rpm and not dependent on flow rate.

Resident time of the continuous and Instantaneous centrifugal separator using that separates the light and heavy liquids by use of density difference is the orptical factor that affects significantly the chemical metial extraction and the productivity in the chemical and mechanical process. In this paper, the overflow of the device is investigated under consideration of the relationships between inclination angle of liquid feeding screw and the centrifugal force. From the design of the length of a centrifugal separator, the radiuses of rotor and housing, theoretical formulation on the contact radius of separation weir is established through the experiments. From the experiments, it is identified that how much the capacity of inlet impeller and the emulsion phenomenon depend on the screw angle of inlet impeller. Also, we investigate the separation condition and the resident times that are functions of the phase ratio and density.

An ultraprecision rotary motor is developed using inchworm motion of two belts actuated by elongation of piezoelectric elements. A symmetric lever mechanism with flexure hinges is designed to connect belts with piezoelectric elements. The lever mechanism is used not only to amplify the elongation of piezoelectric element but also to minimize the numbers of components and the effort for assembly. By experiment, the rotational angle by one cycle is varied from $0.2{\times}10-4 rad to 9.76{\times}10-4$ rad depending on input signal amplitude. Further, the motor has the capability of getting more precise rotational resolution by enlarging the radius of the rotor.
