  • The dynamics of the vehicle system has highly nonlinear components such as an engine, a torque converter and variable road condition. This thesis proposes a Fuzzy Logic Algorithm that shows better control performance than Antiwindup PI in the highly nonlinear vehicle system. Traction Control System(TCS), which adjusts throttle valve opening by Fuzzy Logic Algorithm improves vehicle drivability, steerability and stability when vehicle is starting and cornering. When a throttle valve is opened at large degree, Fuzzy Logic Algorithm shows better performances like a small settling time and a small oscillation than Antiwindup PI in simulation. The decreased desired slip ratio improves steerability in the simulation when a vehicle is cornering. The Fuzzy Logic Algorithm has been tested by a 1/5-scale vehicle for tracking the constant desired velocity.

  • Automotive suspension system is a mechanism for isolation of the vibration coming from the road inputs. Recently, the electronically controlled suspension systems which may improve ride and handling performance have been developed. Here, the continuously controlled semi-active suspension system is focused. As a mechanism to control damping forces continuously, a solenoid valve is used. The modeling for the solenoid valve is introduced briefly, a vehicle dynamics modeling is constructed, and then combined system model is completed. To design the efficient control algorithm for the semiactive suspension system the knowledge based fuzzy logic is applied and the technique how to apply the sky-hook theory to the fuzzy logic is developed. Finally, to confirm the improvement of performance the computer simulation is carried out.

  • This paper deals with control design method having anticipation delay which is proposed for the discrete nonlinear engine where system dynamics is not accurate. Due to the induction-to-power delay in internal combustion(IC) engine having abrupt torque loss, underdamping and chattering in engine idle speed becomes a serious problem and it could make drivers uncomfortable. For this reason, Three types of the closed-loop controller are developed for the stable engine idle speed control. The inputs of the controllers are an engine idle speed and air conditioning signal. The output of the controllers is an duty cycle to operate the idle speed control valve(ISCV). The proposed controllers will be useful for improving actual vehicles since these shows good test

  • 2-stroke marine diesel engine has generally one exhaust valve and three fuel injection nozzle which are key component for engine's performance and combustion. Fuel injection and exhaust valve driving system are driven by rotating of camshaft. Rotation of crank shaft drives the cam shaft through gear train that is composed of $3{\sim}4$ gear wheels. Gear column supporting the gear wheel has to bear against the dynamics forces by engine running as well as gearing forces. In this paper, structural analysis for engine structure and fatigue strength assessment of welded joint is shown. Repeatedly full cyclic simulation during one cycle is performed to investigate the structural behavior of engine. Fatigue analysis is carried out based on IIW using submodeling technique to obtain more detailed stress distribution.

  • A siumlator had been developed and used for reliability verification on medium size steam turbine control programs prior to its actual operation in field. A mathematical model on thermal dynamics pertaining to prime mover steam turbine and electrical generator was realized and included in this simulator. Also, many operating data acquired from fields was utilized in order to decide mechanical and thermal dynamic characteristics such as friction loss, windage loss and inertia. A user can decide closing or opening velocity of steam stop valve and steam regulation valve. This simulator is able to generate steam pressure, turbine speed, electrical power, and power system frequency.

  • A nuclear power plant (NPP) is a highly complex system-of-systems as manifested through its internal systems interdependence. The negative impact of such interdependence was demonstrated through the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. As such, there is a critical need for new strategies to overcome the limitations of current risk assessment techniques (e.g. the use of static event and fault tree schemes), particularly through simulation of the nonlinear dynamic feedback mechanisms between the different NPP systems/components. As the first and key step towards developing an integrated NPP dynamic probabilistic risk assessment platform that can account for such feedback mechanisms, the current study adopts a system dynamics simulation approach to model the thermal dynamic processes in: the reactor core; the secondary coolant system; and the pressurized water reactor. The reactor core and secondary coolant system parameters used to develop system dynamics models are based on those of the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station. These three system dynamics models are subsequently validated, using results from published work, under different system perturbations including the change in reactivity, the steam valve coefficient, the primary coolant flow, and others. Moving forward, the developed system dynamics models can be integrated with other interacting processes within a NPP to form the basis of a dynamic system-level (systemic) risk assessment tool.

  • In this paper, an active vibration control of a translating tensioned string with the use of an electro-hydraulic servo mechanism at the right boundary is investigated. The dynamics of the moving strip is modeled as a string with tension by using Hamilton’s principle for the systems with changing mass. The control objective is to suppress the transverse vibrations of the strip via boundary control. A right boundary control law in the form of current input to the servo valve based upon the Lyapunov’s second method is derived. It is revealed that a time-varying boundary force and a suitable passive damping at the right boundary can successfully suppress the transverse vibrations. The exponential stability of the closed loop system is proved. The effectiveness of the control laws proposed is demonstrated via simulations.

  • Gas Turbine combustors for power plant can be reduced NOx emissions using lean premixed combustion technology. But the combustors are likely to occur combustion oscillations which damage operation reliability and mechanical life of the gas turbines. In this paper, characterizations of oscillation in a gas turbine combustor for power plant are presented. Combustion dynamics occur $1{\sim}1.5$ psi in amplitude with low frequency less than 140Hz during normal operation. An abnormal high level dynamics, 2.0 psi amplitude occur at 125 Hz frequency. Abnormal combustion oscillation is reduced by modulation of fuel supply valve control schedule.

  • HILS(Hardware-ln-the-Loop Simulation) is a scheme that incorporates hardware components of primary concern in the numerical simulation environment. Due to its advantages over actual vehicle test and pure simulation, HILS is being widely accepted in automotive industries as test benches for vehicle control units. Developed in this study is a HILS system for VDC(Vehicle Dynamics Control) with a valve control system that modulates the brake pressures at low wheels. Two VDC control logics were developed and tested in the HILS system. Test results under various driving conditions are presented in this paper.

  • This parer presents a CVT line pressure control strategy for the increased shift speed. Firstly, an algorithm to increase the CVT shift speed is suggested based on a modified CVT shift dynamics and shift speed maps are constructed. In addition, simplified dynamic models of the line pressure and the ratio control valve are derived by considering the CVT shift dynamics, and low level control algorithms for the ratio and the line pressure control are proposed. Using the shift speed maps and the simplified dynamic models of the CVT system, shift performance is investigated. It is found from the experimental and simulation results that improved shift speed can be achieved by increasing the lilly pressure.
