For the robust design of Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) systems, it is important to consider energy efficiency from every aspect such as system configuration and current flow, etc. If design optimization is not considered, it has many problems on a vehicle. For example, when evaluating steering test, particularly the Catch-up test which turning the steering wheel left or right quickly, steering effort should be increased rapidly. Also a vehicle might have poor fuel efficiency. In this study, it is calculated energy consumption for each component of the steering system and analyzed factors of energy consumption. As a result, this paper redefines a method to estimate steering input torque using characteristics of vehicle electric components and then conducts an analysis of contribution for the Catch-up.

Steering gear is the part of an automobile that change circular movement of steering wheel to lateral movement of rack to change driving direction. This can be classified with manual and power steering gear. Manual steering gear is operated only with human power while power steering gear use oil pressure support. These days power steering gear is more common to almost of the car. Recently a korean company manufactures a speed sensitive power steering which provide variable steering feel depend on the speed of car. The Broens company of Australia produces and exports the test equipments for the manufacture of power steering valves and assemblies to major vehicle manufactures. Some korean companies imported the test equipments from Australia, thus increasing the cost. The purpose of this study is development of the valve balance test equipment to measure the valve torque of the power steering gear. This study designed and manufactured the valve balance test equipment to take hold of the power steering valve using CAE analysis. In order to evaluate the performance of the developed valve balance test equipment, the R&R tests have been conducted.

최근 차량의 연비규제 강화로 인해, 기존 내연기관의 차량 부품 구동방식이 유압방식 대신 전동방식으로 대체되어 가고 있다. 이러한 부품의 대표적인 예가, Electronic Power Steering(EPS)이며, 현재 대부분의 차량에 적용되고 있다. EPS의 핵심 부품으로서는 전동기가 있으며, EPS의 조향감 개선 및 진동/소음 저감을 위해 전동기의 Cogging torque 및 Torque Ripple 저감이 요구된다. 일반적으로 Cogging torque 및 Torque ripple을 저감하기 위해서, 고정자 또는 회전자에 스큐를 적용한다. 본 연구에서는 고정자에 스큐가 적용된 Bushless PMSM(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor)의 설계 방법 및 해석방법에 대해 소개한다. 고정자 skew가 적용된 EPS용 PMSM에 대해 초기 설계를 진행하고, RSM(Response Surface Methodology)을 이용한 최적설계를 수행한다. 유한요소해석을 통해 역기전력, Inductance, Load torque 등의 성능을 확인한다. 마지막으로 시제품 제작 및 실험을 통해 설계 방법에 대한 신뢰성을 검증한다.

Cogging torque is often a principal source of vibration and control difficulty in permanent magnet motors, especially at low speeds and loads. For example, reduction of cogging torque is an important specification for DC motors used for electric power stee- ring. This paper examines two motor design techniques, stator tooth notching and rotor pole skewing with magnet pole shaping, for reduction of cogging torque, and the effect of each method on the airgap flux, and the use of the Maxwell stress method and Fourier decomposition to calculate the periodic cogging torque. The analyses show that the cogging torque can be nearly eliminated by the suggested designs, with minimal scacrifice of output torque.

The steering gear box for mid-heavy duty electric vehicles are usually produced by only a few specialized companies. The special techniques, such as designing, producing and testing technology have been veiled. For this reason, steering gear boxes are imported from other country. The durability test with the electric vehicle which is satisfies the design parameters takes several years, and a prototype is installed in the real vehicle for the test. In this research, the steering gear box of the steering system was developed based on the reverse engineering and the testing methods and the steering gear box development process have been suggested. The prototype is also developed with the CAD and CAE tools. Developed steering gear box have been tested in torque tester and have satisfied requied torque. As a result, the process and testing methods studied in this research are useful in the development processes of electric vehicles steering system.

This paper focuses on the design of a flux-biased rotary electromagnetic actuator with compact structure for fast steering mirror (FSM). The actuator has high force density and its torque output shows linear dependence on both excitation current and rotation angle. Benefiting from a new electromagnetic topology, no additional axial force is generated and an armature with small moment of inertia is achieved. To improve modeling accuracy, the actuator is modeled with flux leakage taken into account. In order to achieve an FSM with good performance, a design methodology is presented. The methodology aims to achieve a balance between torque output, torque density and required coil magnetomotive force. By using the design methodology, the actuator which will be used to drive our FSM is achieved. The finite element simulation results validate the design results, along with the concept design, magnetic analysis and torque output model.

Geometric singularity problems are principle difficulties of single-gimbal control moment gyros in spacecraft attitude control. To overcome these singularities, many steering logics have been studied. In this paper, a new null motion steering law is suggested, which is based on the minimization of the directional components of output torque with respect to the required torque. The suggested steering law has been simulated and verified to work well around several critical singular points which have been classified as testing points of avoidance algorithm in previous literatures.

The steel wheels are widely used in the passenger cars because of their low cost of production although the aluminum wheels have many advantages in their performance and appearance. It is known that the steering wheel vibration with steel wheels is generated more often than one with aluminum wheels. Both the constant velocity driving test and the m up test are carried out in this study to analyze the causes and path of the steering wheel vibration generated from the steel wheels. And this study shows that the steering wheel vibration is affected by the fastening torque of the wheel mounting bolts between the steel wheel and the suspension disk.

본 연구는 트랙터 변속기의 성능평가, 내구성 향상 및 최적 설계 등을 위한 기초 연구로써 로타리 작업에 따른 78 kW급 농업용 트랙터의 엔진 토크를 CAN 통신을 이용하여 수집하고, 등가 토크를 분석하였다. 신뢰성 높은 트랙터 개발을 위해서는 실제 농작업 환경에서 발생하는 부하를 등가 토크로 변환하여, 분석하는 것이 필요하다. 등가 토크는 대표적인 누적 손상법인 Palmgren-Miner 식으로 작업 및 선회구간에 대하여 계산되었으며, 각각 229.2, 136.7 Nm로 나타났다. 로타리 작업구간에서 최대 및 평균 토크는 각각 336.0, 234.4 Nm로 나타났으며, 선회구간의 최대 및 평균 토크는 288.0, 134.6 Nm로 나타났다. 로타리 작업구간에서의 엔진 토크는 PTO를 통해 토양을 경운하기 때문에 선회구간보다 높게 나타났다. 엔진의 최대 및 정격 토크는 각각 387.0, 323.0 Nm로, 로타리 작업 및 선회구간의 등가 토크보다 각각 183%, 136% 높게 나타났다. 국내 트랙터 회사는 일반적으로 엔진의 정격 토크를 기준으로 변속기를 설계하기 때문에, 실제 작업 토크와 다소 차이가 있다. 그러므로 최적 설계를 위해 실제 작업 토크를 고려하는 것이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
