Steam turbines, gas turbines, multistage centrifugal compressors are operated over the range of the first critical speed. In these rotors flexible rotor balancing technique is necessary. In such balancing, influence coefficients are measured by rotating a rotor with trial weight. But for the large rotor, the measurement of influence coefficient takes much time and it reduces the cost efficiency. In this paper the new influence coefficient with rotation of rotor is proposed. First the theoretical background of the method is presented and it is applied to the simple flexible rotor model. Then the experiments are performed and the results of presented method are compared with those of analytical method. By using the obtained influence coefficient, balancing of the flexible rotor is performed.

This paper proposes a compensation algorithm for the analog rotor position errors caused by nonideal sinusoidal encoder output signals including offset and gain errors. In order to achieve a much higher resolution, position sensors such as resolvers or incremental encoders can be replaced by sinusoidal encoders. In practice, however, the periodic ripples related to the analog rotor position are generated by the offset and gain errors between the sine and cosine output signals of sinusoidal encoders. In this paper, the effects of offset and gain errors are easily analyzed by applying the concept of a rotating coordinate system based on the dq transformation method. The synchronous d-axis signal component is used directly to detect the amplitude of the offset and gain errors for the proposed compensator. As a result, the offset and gain errors can be well corrected by three integrators located on the synchronous d-axis component. In addition, the proposed algorithm does not require any additional hardware and can be easily implemented by a simple integral operation. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through several experimental results.

Three-dimensional unsteady numerical analysis has been performed to observe aerodynamic characteristics of a H-rotor. Generally, the structure of the H-rotor is simple but the aerodynamic characteristics are exceptionably complicated since the angle of attacks and incident velocities to a blade are considerably varied according to the azimuth angles and solidities. The blade in the upwind revolution between 0 to 180 degree obtains aerodynamic energy from the free stream but the blade in the downwind revolution between 180 to 360 degree does not. When the rotating speed increases, the blade in the downwind revolution accelerates the air around the blade like a fan and it consumes the energy and shows negative torque in the area. On the other hand, the direction of the free stream is bent because of the interaction between blade the free stream. Therefore, the operation point (highest power coefficient) appears at a lower tip-speed-ratio what it is expected.

A helicopter rotor brake system stops or reduces the speed of the rotor by transforming the kinetic energy into the heat energy. The frictionally generated heat has a considerable effect on the frictional property of material itself and causes the change of the friction coefficient which may affect the breaking time significantly. In this paper, to take into account the effect of change of friction coefficient according to temperature on braking time, thermo-mechanically coupled analysis is carried out by commercial software ABAQUS. Further, simple theoretical equation is derived considering thermo-mechanical behaviors. The predicted braking times both from theoretical and numerical methods are compared and validity of proposed theoretical equation is investigated.

The single-phase switched reluctance motor(SRM) generates the positive torque in the restricted section. So, it can not started by itself and the torque ripple is heavier than poly-phase. For self-starting and fixing rotating direction, the rotor should be placed at the rising inductance slope when stationary. The parking permanent magnet locates the rotor in the fixed position, which can be started by it-self. It is very simple and cost effective but has some drawbacks. It affects the rotor during the operation, so the characteristics of motor, such as a torque, speed, and ripple are changed to go bad. This paper presents the detent torque of parking magnet starting device through the finite element analysis and experiments. The finite element analysis is performed at incremental rotor positions over one detent torque cycle for any one pole. The prototype, fabricated in the previous research, is used for the experiments. The inductance, instant torque, and detent torque are calculated using the terminal voltage and phase current. Finally, the finite element analysis result and the experiment result are compared for analysis and validity.

During helicopter rotor system development process, whirl tower test is conducted basically. For conducting whirl tower test during bearingless hub development process, design new blade or using existing blade with repair or remodeling. Because simple shape and efficient aerodynamic characteristic, BO-105 blade is used for hub system development widely. Originally BO-105 blade is used for hingeless hub, ho flap stiffness and lag stiffness on blade root area is relatively low. So applying BO-105 blade to bearingless hub whirl tower test, root area have to be reinforce. In this process, blade root area's section property will be changed. In this paper, suggest reinforcement method of BO-105 blade root area and study dynamic characteristic of bearingless rotor system with reinforcement BO-105 blade.

Single phase SRM(switched reluctance motor) is very simple in structure and in driving circuit than three phase SRM. But it can't be started by itself. The prototype of salient pole rotor type single phase SRM was fabricated in former research and the starting device was installed in bottom of the rotor for generating start torque. The starting device is composed of permanent magnet and it is placed the rotor at specific position which is generated positive torque when the prototype is started. Therefore the prototype was started by itself but it is also affected the torque and the speed in operation. On this paper, the influence of the starting device on no-load speed of the prototype was confirmed by measurement of no-load speed according to installation of the starting device or not.

Vibration characteristics which are typical in a cracked rotor can be utilized for detection of crack. The changing trend of harmonics at the second harmonic resonant speed according to the crack depth and the unbalance orientation has been discussed. To characterize the vibration depending on crack orientation, the unbalance and gravitational responses of the cracked rotor are calculated. An algorithm for crack orientation identification is also introduced. A trial mass is attached step by step with even angle interval along a certain circumference, and then the synchronous and second horizontal harmonic compenents of vibration are measured and curve-fitted using least square method. Numerical simulations using this method show good results.

Salient pole rotor type single phase SRM(switched reluctance motor) uses the magnetic fluxes of radial and axial direction at the same time. Therefore the output power per unit volumn is very high and shaft length can be shorter than any other types of SRM with same output. Also, It can be manufactured with low cost thanks to simple structure and driving circuit. We already designed and manufactured prototype using the dynamic output equation of general rotating machine but the effect by salient pole structure was not considered. The most optimal design parameters for salient pole rotor type single phase SRM will be selected by comparing and analyzing the results from 3D FEM analysis, experimental values of the torque versus speed characteristics. and the nux linkage of prototype. Results for the former 3D FEM analysis and torque vs. speed characteristics were already obtained. Finally, we will measure the nux linkage of salient pole rotor type single phase SRM.
