본 논문은 직류전동기 속도제어를 위해 매트릭스 컨버터의 적용 가능성을 제안한다. 매트릭스 컨버터는 크게 직접 매트릭스 컨버터와 간접 매트릭스 컨버터로 나뉘는데 본 논문에서는 다양한 출력 단을 구성할 수 있어 향후 많은 활용이 예상되는 간접 매트릭스 컨버터를 이용하였다. 제안한 방식은 기존의 방식보다 입력 전류의 파형을 개선하고, 부피가 크고 비용이 많이 들며 수명단축의 원인이 되는 에너지 저장 요소를 가지지 않는 이점이 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 기존 방식과 본 논문에서 제안하는 방식의 특징을 비교 분석하여 제안한 방식의 유효성을 입증하였다. 속도제어, 토크제어, 부하전류제어에서는 유사한 성능을 보이며, 입력전류는 정류단의 스위치를 직접 제어함으로써 정현파와 유사하게 제어되기 때문에 고조파가 크게 감소되었다.

장애자나 노약자가 이동형의 재활보조 시스템을 조이스틱을 이용하여 직접 조작할 경우, 정상인과 달리 조이스틱 제어시 떨림이나 순간적인 오조작 (예를들면 조이스틱으로 손에서 놓치는 경우)이 자주 발생 하게 된다. 이러한 오조작이 그대로 전달될 경우 이동형 재활 보조시스템의 진동잉나 오동작을 초래하고, 특히 장애자나 노약자의안전성의 측면에서 문제로 대두된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 장애자의 오조작 및 주위 환경과의 충돌을 방지하기 위하여 초음파 센서를 사용하여 물체와 이동 로봇의 접근 정도를 측정하고 이에 따라 이동 로보트가 물체에 접근하는 것을 방해할 수 있도록 모터부착형 조이스틱에 토오크를 걸어주는 조이스틱을 사용한 힘 반향 주행 기법을 제안하였다. 제안될 힘 반향 기법의 유효성을 입증하기 위하여 원통형의 전방 장애물과 복도의 벽면을 가상으로 만들고 이를 따라 조이스틱을 조작하여 주행실험을 하였으며, 그 결과 조작자의 숙련도의 차이는 있었으나 장애물 정보를 조이스틱을 통하여 조작자에게 전달됨을 확인함으로써 조작성능과 장애물에 대한 안전성이 향상됨을 알수 있었다.

The objective of this paper is to optimize the design parameters of a novel mechanism for a robotic knee orthosis. The feature of the proposed knee othosis is to drive a knee joint with independent actuation during swing and stance phases, which can allow an actuator with fast rotation to control swing motions and an actuator with high torque to control stance motions, respectively. The quadriceps device operates in five-bar links with 2-DOF motions during swing phase and is changed to six-bar links during stance phase by the contact motion to the patella device. The hamstring device operates in a slider-crank mechanism for entire gait cycle. The suggested kinematic model will allow a robotic knee orthosis to use compact and light actuators with full support during walking. However, the proposed orthosis must use additional linkages than a simple four-bar mechanism. To maximize the benefit of reducing the actuators power by using the developed kinematic design, it is necessary to minimize total weight of the device, while keeping necessary actuator performances of torques and angular velocities for support. In this paper, we use a SGA (Simple Genetic Algorithm) to minimize sum of total link lengths and motor power by reducing the weight of the novel knee orthosis. To find feasible parameters, kinematic constraints of the hamstring and quadriceps mechanisms have been applied to the algorithm. The proposed optimization scheme could reduce sum of total link lengths to half of the initial value. The proposed optimization scheme can be applied to reduce total weight of general multi-linkages while keeping necessary actuator specifications.

In recent years, the size of plane substrates and semiconductor wafers has increased. As conventional contact transportation systems composed of, for example, carrier rollers, belt conveyers, and robot hands carry these longer and wider substrates, the increased weight results in increased potential for fracture. A noncontact transportation system is required to solve this problem. We propose a new noncontact transportation system combining acoustic viscous and aerostatic forces to provide damage-free transport. In this system, substrates are supported by aerostatic force and transported by acoustic viscous streaming induced by traveling wave deformation of a disk-type stator. A ring-type piezoelectric transducer bonded on the stator excites vibration. A stator with a high Q piezoelectric transducer can generate traveling vibrations with amplitude of $3.2{\mu}m$. Prior to constructing a carrying road for substrates, we clarified the basic properties of this technique and stator vibration characteristics experimentally. We constructed the experimental equipment using a rotational disk with a 95-mm diameter. Electric power was 70 W at an input voltage of 200 Vpp. A rotational torque of $8.5\times10^{-5}Nm$ was obtained when clearance between the stator and disk was $120{\mu}m$. Finally, we constructed a noncontact transport apparatus for polycrystalline silicon wafers $(150(W)\times150(L)\times0.3(t))$, producing a carrying speed of 59.2 mm/s at a clearance of 0.3 mm between the stator and wafer. The carrying force when four stators acted on the wafer was $2\times10^{-3}N$. Thus, the new noncontact transportation system was demonstrated to be effective.

During normal operating conditions, a motor vehicle is constantly subjected to a variety of forces, which can adversely affect its straight-ahead motion performance. These forces can originate both from external sources such as wind and road and from on-board sources such as tires, suspension, and chassis configuration. One of the effects of these disturbances is the phenomenon of vehicle lateral-drift during straight-ahead motion. This paper examines the effects of road crown, tires, and suspension on vehicle straight-ahead motion. The results of experimental studies into the effects of these on-board and external disturbances are extremely sensitive to small changes in test conditions and are therefore difficult to guarantee repeatability. This study was therefore conducted by means of computer simulation using a full vehicle model. The purpose of this paper is to gain further understanding of the straight-ahead maneuver from simulation results, some aspects of which may not be obtainable from experimental study. This paper also aims to clarify some of the disputable arguments on the theories of vehicle straight-ahead motion found in the literature. Tire residual aligning torque, road crown angle, scrub radius and caster angle in suspension geometry, were selected as the study variables. The effects of these variables on straight-ahead motion were evaluated from the straight-ahead motion simulation results during a 100m run in free control mode. Examination of vehicle behavior during straight-ahead motion under a fixed control mode was also carried out in order to evaluate the validity of several disputable arguments on vehicle pull theory, found in the literature. Finally, qualitative comparisons between the simulation results and the test results were made to support the validity of the simulation results.

This study presents a novel two­phase eight stator poles and six rotor poles (8/6) switched reluctance machine (SRM) that can compensate for the vibration and noise problems of two­phase 6/3 SRM and compare the characteristics of two SRMs. In the case of two­phase 6/3 SRM, the short flux path and the flux direction inside the stator are not reversed, so they have high efficiency characteristics. However, the use of three rotor poles causes problems of vibration and noise because the radial force applied to the rotor poles is not balance. The proposed two­phase 8/6 SRM has advantages of 6/3 SRM such as the flux­reversal­free stator and it can improve vibration and noise by using six rotor poles due to balanced radial force acting on the rotor poles. In order to make a reasonable comparison between two SRMs, the electromagnetic field structure of 8/6 SRM is designed to have equivalent torque characteristic to 6/3 SRM and then the copper loss and core loss are compared and analyzed. Finally, we compare the effieicney of two SRMs using finite element analysis and compare the distribution of radial force acting on the rotor poles based on Maxwell's stress method.

A simple on-line elimination strategy of the dead time and inverter nonlinearity using the current slope information is presented for a PWM inverter-fed IPMSM (Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) drive. In a PWM inverter-fed IPMSM drive, a dead time is inserted to prevent a breakdown of switching device. This distorts the inverter output voltage, resulting in a current distortion and torque ripple. In addition to the dead time, inverter nonlinearity exists in switching devices of the PWM inverter, which is generally dependent on operating conditions such as the temperature, DC link voltage, and current. The proposed scheme is based on the fact that the d-axis current ripple is mainly caused by the dead time and inverter nonlinearity. To eliminate such an influence, the current slope information is determined. The obtained current slope information is processed by the PI controller to estimate the disturbance caused by the dead time and inverter nonlinearity. The overall system is implemented using DSP TMS320F28335 and the validity of the proposed algorithm is verified through the simulation and experiments. Without requiring any additional hardware, the proposed scheme can effectively eliminate the dead time and inverter nonlinearity even in the presence of the parameter uncertainty.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation between intentionally induced internal stress and cyclic fatigue failure of .06 taper ProFile. Materials and Methods: Length 25 mm, .06 taper ProFile (Dentsply Maillefer), and size 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 were used in this study. To give the internal stress, the rotary NiTi files were put into the .02 taper, Endo-Training-Bloc (Dentsply Maillefer) until auto-stop by torque controlled motor. Rotary NiTi files were grouped by the number of induced internal stress and randomly distributed among one control group and three experimental groups (n = 10, Stress 0 [control], Stress 1, Stress 2 and Stress 3). For cyclic fatigue measurement, time for separation of the rotary NiTi files was recorded. The fractured surfaces were observed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, SU-70, Hitachi). The time for separation was statistically analyzed using two-way ANOVA and post-hoc Scheffe test at 95% level. Results: In .06 taper ProFile size 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40, there were statistically significant difference on time for separation between control group and the other groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In the limitation of this study, cyclic fatigue failure of .06 taper ProFile is influenced by internal stress accumulated in the files.

엔진의 성능이 향상될수록 엔진 내부에서 연소되는 연료의 양이 증가하고 그에 따라 엔진의 온도는 증가하게 된다. 특히 피스톤 헤드의 경우 냉각이 어려우므로 피스톤 헤드의 온도가 높아지게 된다. 그러나 피스톤 헤드의 온도가 너무 높게 되면 피스톤 헤드 표면에서 이상 연소가 발생하기 쉬워 토크 저하 및 엔진 파손과 같은 결과를 가져온다. 피스톤 헤드의 온도를 낮게 하기 위하여 오일을 피스톤 헤드 하단부로 분사하는 오일 제트가 사용되는데, 본 연구에서는 오일 제트에 의한 피스톤 헤드 냉각 효과를 확인하기 위하여 템플러그를 사용하여 엔진 작동시 피스톤 헤드의 온도를 측정하였다. 템플러그는 일종의 센서로 피스톤 헤드의 온도에 따라 템플러그의 경도가 변화하여 변화된 경도를 이용하여 피스톤 헤드의 온도를 측정한다. 템플러그를 사용하여 피스톤 헤드의 최고 온도를 오일 제트가 없는 상태와 설치된 상태에서 측정하였다. 오일 제트가 설치됨에 따라 피스톤 헤드의 온도는 변화되었다. 최고 온도 부위가 중앙부위에서 전후부위로 변경되었다. 또한 피스톤 헤드 내에서 온도 편차가 감소하여 좀 더 균일한 피스톤 헤드 온도 분포를 얻을 수 있었다.

In electric agricultural machine the gearbox is used to increase torque and lower the output speed of the motor shaft. The gearbox consists of several shafts, helical gears and spur gears works in series. Optimization plays an important role in gear design as reducing the weight or volume of a gear set will increase its service life and improve the bearing capacity. In this paper the basic design parameters for gear like shaft diameter and face width are considered as the input variables. The bending stress and material volume is considered as the objective function. ANSYS was used to investigate the bending stress when the variable was changed. Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was used to obtain the mathematical model of the system based on the bending stress behaviour. The ANN was used since the output system is nonlinear. The Genetic Algorithm (GA)　technique of optimization is used to obtain the optimized values of shaft diameter and face width on the pinion based on the ANN mathematical model and the results are compared as that obtained using the traditional method. The ANN and GA were performed using MATLAB. The simulation results were shown that the proposed algorithm was successfully calculated the value of shaft diameter and face width to obtain the minimal bending stress and material volume of the gearbox.
