The accurate information of mass properties is required for the precise control of the spacecraft. The mass properties, mass and inertia, are changeable by some reasons such as consumption of propellant, deployment of solar panel, sloshing, environmental effect, etc. The gyro-based attitude data including noise and bias reduces the control accuracy so it needs to be compensated for improvement. This paper introduces a real-time inertia estimation method for the attitude determination of STSAT-3, Korea Science Technology Satellite. In this method we first filter the gyro noise with the Extended Kalman Filter(EKF), and then estimate the moment of inertia by using the filtered data from the EKF based on the Recursive Least Square(RLS).

This paper presents the inertial force problem of ultrahigh-speed injection molding machine using linear motors, and presents its solutions. To make very thin products by injection molding, very high injection speed is required, and linear motors are used for this purpose. However, direct drive by linear motors may cause brief nozzle separation from the sprue bushing because of the inertia force which is as large as the total output thrust of the linear motors, and this momentary separation can cause molten plastic to leak. In this paper, two solutions are proposed for this inertia force problem. One is the mechanical cancellation of the inertia force, and the other is to increase the nozzle contact force. With the latter solution, the stationary platen bending worsens, so a new nozzle contact mechanism is also proposed, which can prevent the stationary platen bending.

Free vibration analysis of plates is necessary for the field of structural engineering because of its wide applications in practical life. Free vibration of plates is largely dependent on its thickness, aspect ratios, and boundary conditions. Here we investigate the natural frequencies of simply supported tapered isotropic rectangular plates with internal cutouts using a nine node isoparametric element. The effect of rotary inertia on Eigenfrequencies was demonstrated by calculating with- and without rotary inertia. We found that rotary inertia has a significant effect on thick plates, while rotary inertia term can be ignored in thin plates. Based on comparison with literature data, we propose that the present formulation is capable of yielding highly accurate results. Internal cutouts at various positions in tapered rectangular simply supported plates were also studied. Novel data are also reported for skew taper plates.

The effects of weight and axial inertia of a beam are taken into account for studying the nonlinear vibration of the Timoshenko beam due to external loads. The combination of Galerkins method and Runge-Kutta method are employed to obtain the dynamic responses of the beam. A concentrated force and a two-axle vehicle traversing on the beam are taken as two examples to investigate the response characteristics of the beam. Results show that the effect of axial inertia of the beam increases the fundamental period of the beam. Further, both the dynamic deflection and the dynamic moment of the beam obtained with including the effect of axial inertia of the beam are greater than those of the beam without including that effect of the beam.

The ordinary differential equations governing free vibrations of elastic horizontally curved beams are derived, in which the effects of rotatory inertia and shear deformation as well as the effects of both vertical and torsional inertias are included. Frequencies and mode shapes are computed numerically for parabolic curved beams with the hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped and clamped-clamped ends. Comparisons of natural frequencies between this study and ADINA are made to validate the theories and numerical methods developed herein. The lowest three natural frequency parameters are reported. with and without the effects of rotatory inertia and shear deformation. as functions of the three non-dimensional system parameters: the horizontal rise to span length ratio. the slenderness ratio and the stiffness parameter.

In this paper, reorientation based on angular momentum exchange is applied for a bias momentum stabilized satellite, which is equipped with a spherical fuel tank, and the effect of liquid slosh on the attitude properties such as inertia tensor and angular rate is investigated. In order to represent the slosh motion of liquid an equivalent mechanical model is adopted and full nonlinear equations of motion for three-body system are derived. Computer simulations are performed for several cases, which use the viscosity of liquid and the center location of the tank as input parameters, mainly in order to observe how the viscosity of liquid and the center location of the tank influence the spacecraft’s attitude. The investigation includes observing time-variations of the inertia tensor, especially presence of components of product of inertia during the maneuver.

A railroad vehicle(Light weight electric rail car, Urban railroad, High-speed railroad) need to construct propulsion- system capacity experiment equipment to test performance or to estimate confidence. Experiment equipment in interior have been used Flywheel which is equal to the same inertia as railroad straight moment. But mechanical inertia using flywheel don't change inertia and can't embody traveling-struggle which is similar to actual traveling-struggle. We propose the method to embody electric railroad load system with inertia using electric servo motor in order to get the characteristic of real vehicle load, and confirm this algorithm with simulation and experiment.

Generally, fuzzy PI controller that regulates the gains using fuzzy algorithm shows high performance in speed response. However, it has some problems to the load inertia variation, because the change of speed error(CE) is in a fixed range. As load inertia increases, CE is decreased and the usuage of fuzzy table is limited. Therefore, the output of the fuzzy controller has a limited range. This paper proposes an improved fuzzy PI controller. To reduce the speed overshoot, we adapt a control method that selects a proper CE range with respect to the load inertia variation. The proposed controller is applied to the vector controlled system with 2.2kW induction motor. Some simulation and experimental results are exhibited. With these results, we can easily find that proposed PI controller is more robust than the conventional fuzzy PI controller against the load inertia variation.

An investigation was made for the added mass moment of inertia induced by the rotational motion of the cylinder with hull section on water in order to obtain the information to estimate the natural frequency of the torsional vibration of ships. The special consideration to the effect of the draught upon the added mass moment of inertia is taken into account in the study. In this paper, the general expression for the added mass coefficients of moment of inertia of arbitary two dimensional forms induced by the torsional vibration, was derived by the author. Hence, the coefficients for these forms are represented as functions of parameters, the section area coefficient and draft beam ratio, from which the added mass coefficients for arbitrary forms can be obtained. The result was shown in a chart for estimation of the added mass moment of inertia induced by the torsional vibration, as first trial, for the convenience of practical use.
