Dancer system is typically used equipment for attenuation of tension disturbances. In industrial converting machines, a composite type of dancer system is applied which is mixture of active and passive dancer. It includes feedback position control loop of roll with pendulum dancer and its characteristics is different from passive and active one. In this paper, a mathematical model of the pendulum dancer was derived including PI position feedback controller and it was analyzed by using a pole-zero map and bode plot under various conditions. It was found out that velocity, length of span and inertia were associated with the performance of regulation. It was suggested that the length of upstream span should be greater than that of the downstream and the inertia should be smaller for improvement of the performance. The results can be used for design guidelines of the industrial dancer system.

This paper presents a new loop shaping technique for design of robust optimal PID controllers in order to satisfy the performance requirements. PID controller can be designed by selecting the suitable weighting factors Q and R. This technique is developed by pushing all two zeros formed by PID controller closely to a larger pole of the second order plant. As a result, a good loop shaping is achieved in the high frequencies region on the Bode plot. For the robust optimal tuning of PID controller for second order system, a new loop shaping procedure is developed via LQR approach.

Rubber components are widely used in many application such as vibration isolators, damping, ride quality. Rubber spring is used in primary suspension system for railway vehicle. Characteristics and useful life prediction of rubber spring was very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability. Non-linear properties of rubber material which are described as strain energy function are important parameter to design and evaluate of rubber spring. These are determined by physical tests which are uniaxial tension, equi-biaxial tension and pure shear test. The computer simulation was executed to predict and evaluate the load capacity and stiffness for rubber spring. In order to investigate the useful life, the acceleration test were carried out. Acceleration test results changes as the threshold are used for assessment of the useful life and time to threshold value were plotted against reciprocal of absolute temperature to give the Arrhenius plot. By using the acceleration test, several useful life prediction for rubber spring were proposed.

The aim of this work is the analysis, design and hardware implementation of the fractional-order point kinetics (FNPK) model along with its closed-loop controller. The stability and closed-loop control of FNPK models are critical issues. The closed-loop stability of the controller-plant structure is established. Further, the designed PI/PD controllers are implemented in real-time on a DSP processor. The simulation and real-time hardware studies confirm that the designed PI/PD controllers result in a damped stable closed-loop response.

In an attempt to get basic data for the utilization of saltwort powder (Salicornia herbaceae L.) as a ingredient in the Sulgidduk. D-optimal design of mixture design showed 14 experimental points including 4 replicates for three independent variables. The three independent variables selected for the experiment were water ($13{\sim}18%$), saltwort powder ($2{\sim}6%$), and sugar ($8{\sim}13%$). The optimum responses variables such as color value. texture, and sensory characteristics were evaluated. The compositional and functional properties of test were measured, and these values were applied to the mathematical models. According to the result of measuring probability of the color value, texture and sensory characteristics were respectively and significance was acknowledged (p<0.05). According to the result of F-test, color values (L, a, b), textural properties (gumminess, chewiness) and sensory characteristics (taste, softness) decided linear model, textural property (hardness) and sensory characteristics (color, smell, moistness, overall acceptance) decided quadratic model. A canonical form and trace plot showed that the influence of each ingredient on the mixture final product. An optimum formulation by numerical and graphical methods were similar. Water, saltwort powder, and sugar were 15.2%, 3.0%, and 9.8% respectively by numerical method, and 15.2%, 3.1%, and 9.7% respectively by graphical method.

In this paper, the characteristics of an inverted-F antenna for the 2.4GHz local wireless communication system have been analysed in terms of the variation of design parameters. The antenna can be integrated on printed circuit board, and the characteristics in terms of the variation of the gap between feed line and shorting stub, gap between antenna's leg and ground plane, antenna leg's width, substrate's height and dielectric constant are analysed. By using these characterization plot of design parameter, the tuning techniques are proposed to design optimum antenna. The designed antenna has 6.4% frequency bandwidth for VSWR under 1.5 and 3dB gain.

The high-switching-frequency operation of power converters can achieve high power density through size reduction of passive components, such as capacitors, inductors, and transformers. However, a small-output capacitor that has small capacitance and low effective series resistance changes the small-signal model of the converter power stage. Such a capacitor can make the converter unstable by increasing the crossover frequency in the transfer function of the small-signal model. In this paper, the design and implementation of a high-frequency LLC resonant converter are presented to verify the power density enhancement achieved by decreasing the size of passive components. The effect of small output capacitance is analyzed for stability by using a proper small-signal model of the LLC resonant converter. Finally, proper design methods of a feedback compensator are proposed to obtain a sufficient phase margin in the Bode plot of the loop gain of the converter for stable operation at 500 kHz switching frequency. A theoretical approach using MATLAB, a simulation approach using PSIM, and experimental results are presented to show the validity of the proposed analysis and design methods with 100 and 500 kHz prototype converters.

This paper proposes a controller design of a distributed source inverter in stand-alone mode or grid-connected mode to compensate the current or voltage harmonics caused by local nonlinear load. The PR-based multi loop controller has been used to improve the dynamic performance of the system and to compensate the output voltage or grid current harmonics. The multi-loop controller consists of an outer current controller and an inner voltage controller for the output voltage control in stand-alone mode. In grid-connected mode, an outer current controller is added to the output voltage controller for the grid current control. The design performance of each controller is described through the Root locus and Bode plot of the transfer functions. The validity of the proposed control algorithm and design parameters has been verified through the PSiM simulation and experimental results.
