This paper presents vehicle road test of a semi-active suspension system equipped with continuously controllable magnetorheological (MR) dampers. As a first step, front and rear MR dampers are designed and manufactured based on the optimized damping force levels and mechanical dimensions required for a commercial middle-sized passenger vehicle. After experimentally evaluating dynamic characteristics of the MR dampers, the test vehicle is prepared for road test by integrating current suppliers, real-time data acquisition system and numerous sensors such as accelerometer and gyroscope. Subsequently, the manufactured four MR dampers (two for front parts and two for rear parts) are incorporated with the test vehicle and a skyhook control algorithm is formulated and realized in the data acquisition system. In order to emphasize practical aspect of the proposed MR suspension system, road tests are undertaken on proving grounds: bump and paved roads. The control responses are evaluated in both time and frequency domains by activating the MR dampers.

This paper proposes a hydraulic circuit for a Magnetorheological (MR) damper that can be used for semi-active and active controls. Methods are presented for obtaining reliable damping force displacement and velocity data, and hysteresis loop data corresponding to applied current. In order to get reliable data, analysis using electric and electronic software, a series of tests. and comparative evaluations are required. A hydraulic circuit model is proposed that can be applied to analyze a MR damper without any assumptions where the yield stress data according to the applied current are known. Analysis results of the proposed hydraulic circuit are confirmed by experimental results within acceptable tolerance. This hydraulic circuit model can be applied to various MR dampers and systems.

This paper presents a portable tele-assessment system designed for remote evaluation of the hypertonic elbow joint of neurologically impaired patients. A patient's upper limb was securely strapped to a portable limb-stretching device which is connected through Internet to a portable haptic device by which a clinician remotely moved the patient's elbow joint and felt the resistance from the patient. Elbow flexion angle and joint torques were measured from both master and slave devices and bilaterally fed back to their counterparts. In order to overcome problems associated with the network latency, two different tele-operation schemes were proposed depending on relative speed of tasks compared to the amount of time delay. For slow movement tasks, the bilateral tele-operation was achieved in real-time by designing control architectures after causality analysis. For fast movement tasks, we used a semi-real-time tele-operation scheme which provided the clinicians with stable and transparent feeling. The tele-assessment system was verified experimentally on patients with stroke. The devices were made portable and low cost, which makes it potentially more accessible to patients in remote areas.

This paper presents experimental performance evaluation of a magnetorheological (MR) damper for integrated isolation mount for ultra-precision manufacturing system. The vibration sources of the ultra-precision manufacturing system can be classified as follows: the one is the environmental vibration from the floor and the other is the transient vibration occurred from stage moving. The transient vibration occurred from the stage moving has serious adverse effect to the process because the vibration scale is quite larger than other vibrations. Therefore in this research, a semi-active MR damper, which can control the transient vibration, is adopted. Also the stage needs to be isolated from tiny vibrations from the floor. For this purpose, a dry-frictionless MR damper is required. In order to achieve this goal, a novel type of MR damper is originally designed and manufactured in this work. Subsequently, the damping force characteristics of MR damper are evaluated by simulation and experiment. In addition, the vibration control performance of the MR damper associated with the stage mass is evaluated.

This paper presents a new prototype of an engine mount for a passenger vehicle featuring ER(elector-rheological) fluids and piezoactuators. Conventional rubber mounts and various types of passive or semi-active hydraulic engine mounts have their own functional aims on the limited frequency band in the board engine operating frequency range. However, the proposed engine mount covers all frequency range of the engine operation. A mathematical model of the proposed engine mount is derived using the bond graph method which is inherently domain, the ER fluid is activated upon imposing electric field for vibration isolation while the piezoactuator. Computer control electric fluid for the ER fluid H.inf. cotrol technique is adopted for the piezoactuator. Computer simulation is undertaken in order to demonstrate isolation efficiency of the engine mount over wide operating frequency range.

Recently MR CDC damper has been applied to semi-active suspension control system gradually. Compared to former hydraulic CDC damper, it has rapid time response performance as well as simple internal structure and wide range of damping force. In order to develop control logic algorithm which enables to take maximum advantage of unique characteristics of MR CDC damper, it is inevitable to perform a thorough investigation into its nonlinear performance. In many previous researches, MR fluid model was either simply assumed as Bingham Plastic, or a phenomenological model based on experiment was established instead to predict damping performance of MR CDC damper. These experimental flow model which is not based on flow analysis but intentionally built to fit damping characteristics, may lead to totally different results in case of different configuration or structure of MR CDC damper. In this study, a generalized flow formula from mathematical flow model of MR fluid for annular orifice is derived to analyze and predict damping characteristics when current is excited at piston valve.

3차원 지도(3D Map)를 구축하기 위해서는 지형정보와 지도상에서 건물 영역 및 건물 형상 정보가 필요하다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 개선된 스네이크(Snake) 알고리즘으로 건물 영역을 반자동으로 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 방법은 전처리, 제어점의 초기화, 개선된 스네이크 알고리즘 적용 세 단계로 구성한다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 위생영상을 그레이 영상으로 변환 후 근사 에지를 추출하여 그레이 영상과 합성한다. 두 번째 단계에서는 사용자가 건물의 중심점을 설정한 후 원형 또는 사각형 모양의 초기 제어점을 계산하여 설정한다. 세번째 단계에서는 개선된 스네이크 알고리즘을 적용하여 건물영역을 추출한다. 이러한 과정에서 스네이크 에너지 계산식의 한 항을 새로운 방법으로 설정하여 건물영역 추출용으로 특화하였다. 그리고 스카이 뷰의 위성영상을 이용하여 제안된 방법을 건물영역 매칭율을 평가하였는데 75%의 매칭율을 보였다.

택싱모드 상태에서 노면의 가진으로 발생하는 기체 가속도는 조종사와 탑승객의 탑승감을 해치는 주 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 MR댐퍼 착륙장치의 탑승감을 향상시키기 위해 제어기법을 연구하였다. 제안된 제어기법은 Skyhook Control Type2 로 기존의 스카이훅 제어와는 달리 추가적으로 상부질량가속도를 피드백 받아 제어력을 구성한다. Skyhook Control Type2는 상부질량의 속도와 가속도를 모두 고려하기 때문에 상부질량속도만을 고려하는 스카이훅 기법의 제어한계를 개선하는 효과가 있다. 시뮬레이션을 위해 범퍼형태의 노면을 활주노면으로 선정하였으며, 리커다인(RecurDyn)으로 구성한 착륙장치 모델과 시뮬링크(Simulink)로 설계한 제어기를 연동해석 하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해, 상부질량가속도의 RMS값과 최대값을 활주속도 및 제어기법에 따라 비교 분석하여 Skyhook Control Type2에 대한 제어효과를 검증하였다.
