In this paper, the issue of pitch control in a vertical axis wind turbine was tackled. Programming the Actuator Cylinder model in MATLAB, a theoretical optimum pitch solution was found and then a classic four-bar mechanism was adapted to that theoretical solution to achieve a simple and elegant control of the pitch in the turbine. A simulation using the mechanism worked to find the optimum pitch cycles, where it was found that the mechanism would, in fact, increase the efficiency of the VAWT, by at least 11% and in the best case, over 35%. Another aspect that is studied is the possibility of self-start of the turbine by only changing the pitch on the blades. This analysis, however, proved that a further individual pitch control must be used to surpass the cogging torque. All analyses conducted were done for a specific wind turbine that is 2 m² in the swept area.

The wind industry grew in the first decade of the 21st century at rates consistently above 20% a year. For wind turbine, gearbox failure can be extremely costly in terms of repair costs, replacement parts, and in lost power production due to downtime. In this paper, gear tooth micro-modification for the high speed stage was used to compensate for the deformation of the teeth due to load and to ensure a proper meshing to achieve an optimized tooth contact pattern. The gearbox was firstly modeled in a software, and then the various combined tooth modification were presented, and the prediction of transmission under the loaded torque for the helical gear pair was investigated, the normal load distribution and root stress were also obtained and compared before and after tooth modification under one torque. The simulation results showed that the transmission error and normal load distribution under the load can be minimized by the appropriate tooth modification. It is a good approach where the simulated result is used to improve the design before the prototype is available for the test.

This study deals with numerically comparing performance according to rudder shape called 'Twisted rudder and Wavy twisted rudder'. In comparison with conventional rudder, rudder with wavy shape has showed a better performance at high angles of attack($30^{\circ}{\sim}40^{\circ}$) due to delaying stall. But most of study concerned with wavy shape had been performed in uniform flow condition. In order to identify the characteristics behind a rotating propeller, the present study numerically carries out an analysis of resistance and self-propulsion for KCS with twisted rudder and wavy twisted rudder. The turbulence closure model, Realizable $k-{\epsilon}$, is employed to simulate three-dimensional unsteady incompressible viscous turbulent and separation flow around the rudder. The simulation of self-propulsion analysis is performed in two step, because of finding optimization case of wavy shape. The first step presents there are little difference between twisted rudder and case of H_0.65 wavy twisted rudder in delivered power. So two kind of rudders are employed from first step to compare lift-to-drag ratio and torque at high angles of attack. Consequently, the wavy twisted rudder is presented as a possible way of delaying stall, allowing a rudder to have a better performance containing superior lift-to-drag ratio and torque than twisted rudder at high angles of attack. Also, as we indicate the flow visualization, check the quantity of separation flow around the rudder.

This paper describes a coordinated control algorithm for rear-side collision avoidance. In order to assist driver actively and increase driver's safety, the proposed coordinated control algorithm is designed to combine lateral control using a steering torque overlay by Motor Driven Power Steering (MDPS) and differential braking by Vehicle Stability Control (VSC). The main objective of a combined control strategy is twofold. The one is to prevent the collision between the subject vehicle and approaching vehicle in the adjacent lanes. The other is to limit actuator's control inputs and vehicle dynamics to safe values for the assurance of the driver's comfort. In order to achieve these goals, the Lyapunov theory and LMI optimization methods has been employed. The proposed coordinated control algorithm for rear-side collision avoidance has been evaluated via simulation using CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink.

로봇 매니퓰레이터를 이용한 대부분의 작업은 환경과의 상호작용을 요구하며, 위치제어, 충돌제어 그리고 힘제어로 구성된다. 위치제어는 환경에 도착하는 방법을 의미하고, 환경에 접촉하는 순간은 충돌제어 문제를 야기하며, 힘제어는 환경과의 충돌후에 원하는 힘궤적을 유지하는 것이다. 이러한 세 가지 제어문제는 순차적으로 발생하므로, 각각의 제어 알고리즘은 독립적으로 개발되어야 한다. 특히 여자유도 매니퓰레이터에서 이러한 세 가지 제어문제는 독립된 중요한 연구 주제이다. 예를 들어, 관절 토크 최소화와 충격힘 최소화는 여자유도 매니퓰레이터의 대표적인 연구주제이다. 본 논문에서는 단일 작업을 통하여 세 가지 제어문제를 구성하였다. 위치제어는 각 관절의 토크와 토크변화 그리고 충돌 시의 충돌힘 최소화를 위하여 개발되었다. 따라서 충돌제어의 초기조건은 이전의 위치제어 알고리즘으로부터 최적화 되고, 그러한 제어 전략은 충돌제어의 결과를 개선시킨다. 유사하게, 힘제어 문제의 초기조건은 이전의 위치제어와 충돌제어로부터 간접적으로 최적화된다. 힘제어 알고리즘은 각 관절 토크와 힘외란 최소화시키는 개념을 사용하였다. 모의실험 결과는 제안된 알고리즘의 타당성을 보여준다.

벨트 구동 방식의 소프트 하이브리드 자동차에 적용될 TAS(Torque Assist System)의 성능을 평가하기 위해서는 가속 성능과 연비 성능이 기존 차량보다 우수하여야 한다. 엔진, 모터, 그리고 배터리와 같은 벨트 구동 TAS의 핵심 구성 요소들은 자동차 연비 성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 따라서, 전체 시스템 관점에서의 효율을 향상시키기 위해서는 핵심 동력원들을 제어하는 동력 분배 알고리즘에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 등가 연료 관점에서 통일된 해석 방법을 적용한 연료 소모량을 최소화하는 동력 분배 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘이 차량의 상태 정보 및 요구 동력을 고려한 구속 조건을 만족하면서 엔진의 연료소모량을 최소화하는 제어 변수들을 통해 연비 성능을 높이는 데 기여하는 것을 확인하였다. 제안한 운전 전략의 최적화 과정은 연구 개발 과정에서 시행 착오를 줄일 수 있고 제어 변수들의 특성을 빠르고 정확하게 관찰할 수 있다. 따라서 연료 소모량을 최소화하는 운전 전략을 도출해내는 방법으로 활용 가능하다.

A theoretical formulation based on the linearized potential theory, the Descartes' rule and the extremum optimization method is presented to calculate the critical distance of lifting points of the fully balanced hoist vertical ship lift, and to study pitching stability of the ship lift. The overturning torque of the ship chamber is proposed based on the Housner theory. A seven-free-degree dynamic model of the ship lift based on the Lagrange equation of the second kind is then established, including the ship chamber, the wire rope, the gravity counterweights and the liquid in the ship chamber. Subsequently, an eigenvalue equation is obtained with the coefficient matrix of the dynamic equations, and a key coefficient is analyzed by innovative use of the minimum optimization method for a stability criterion. Also, an extensive influence of the structural parameters contains the gravity counterweight wire rope stiffness, synchronous shaft stiffness, lifting height and hoists radius on the critical distance of lifting points is numerically analyzed. With the Runge-Kutta method, the four primary dynamical responses of the ship lift are investigated to demonstrate the accuracy/reliability of the result from the theoretical formulation. It is revealed that the critical distance of lifting points decreases with increasing the synchronous shaft stiffness, while increases with rising the other three structural parameters. Moreover, the theoretical formulation is more applicable than the previous criterions to design the layout of the fully balanced hoist vertical ship lift for the ensuring of the stability.

This paper presents a new methodology to improve movement database for a humanoid robot. The database is initially full of human motions so that the kinetics characteristics of human movement are immanent in it. then, the database is updated to the pseudo-optimal motions for the humanoid robot to perform more natural motions, which contain the kinetics characteristics of robot. for this, we use the evolutionary algorithm. the methodology consists of two processes : (1) the offline imitation learning of human movement and (2) the online generation of natural motion. The offline process improve the initial human motion database using the evolutionary algorithm and inverse dynamics-based optimization. The optimization procedure generate new motions using the movement primitive database, minimizing the joint torque. This learning process produces a new database that can endow the humanoid robot with natural motions, which requires minimal torques. In online process, using the linear combination of the motion primitive in this updated database, the humanoid robot can generate the natural motions in real time. The proposed framework gives a systematic methodology for a humanoid robot to learn natural motions from human motions considering dynamics of the robot. The experiment of catching a ball thrown by a man is performed to show the feasibility of the proposed framework.

An induction motor is one of the most popular electrical apparatuses owing to its simple structure and robust construction. Parameter identification of the induction motor has long been researched either for a vector control technique or fault detection. Since vector control is a well-established technique for induction motor control, this paper concentrates on successive identification of physical parameters with on-load data for the purpose of condition monitoring and/or fault detection. For extracting six physical parameters from the on-load data in the framework of the induction motor state equation, unmeasured initial state values and profiles of load torque have to be estimated as well. However, the analytic optimization methods in general fail to estimate these auxiliary but significant parameters owing to the difficulty of obtaining their gradient information. In this paper, the univariate dynamic encoding algorithm for searches (uDEAS) newly developed is applied to the identification of whole unknown parameters in the mathematical equations of an induction motor with normal operating data. Profiles of identified parameters appear to be reasonable and therefore the proposed approach is available for fault diagnosis of induction motors by monitoring physical parameters.

외전형 유도전동기 모터는 내전형에 비해 소형화 및 경량화 시킬 수 있는 장점이 있다. 하지만 회전자와 고정자간의 공극사이에 이심률이 있을 때, 불균형 모멘트로 인한 토크 리플이 내 전형보다 더 크게 일어나는 단점이 있다. 이러한 토크리플은 모터의 정속적인 운전을 방해시킬 뿐만 아니라 불규칙한 출력토크로 인한 작동상의 오류를 초래한다. 본 논문에서는 의전형 모터에서 이심률에 따른 불균형력이 최소화 될 수 있는 슬롯 형태에 대해서 연구하기 위해, 전폐형, 반폐형, 개구형태의 3가지 슬롯 형태에 대한 특성을 비교 하였다. 개구형의 경우 슬롯 누설 리액턴스가 낮아져 토크 형성율이 매우 높아 높은 토크를 발생시킬 것을 예상 하였지만, 토크 리플에 따른 출력 감소로 오히려 출력토크가 감소할 뿐만 아니라 이심률 증가에 따른 불균형력 또한 매우 컸다. 이에 비해 전폐형태의 슬롯은 누설리엑턴스의 영향으로 토크 형성 자체는 10% 정도 저감 되었으나, 이심률 증가에 따른 분균형력이 가장 적어 의전형 모터에 가장 적함한 형태임을 알 수 있었다.
