There is an intensifying demand fur linear motors in vast range of industry applications such as in factory automation and semi-conductor manufacturing equipment due to their high positioning accuracy, high static stiffness, high thrust and excellent dynamic characteristics. This paper presents an iron core type linear motor for machine tool whose rated thrust is up to 6000N. For electromagnetic field and dynamic analysis, finite element method (FEM) is implemented to predict motor performance. Various design parameters are considered to reduce thrust ripple and to improve dynamic performance with the least sacrifice of effective thrust. Experimental results on thrust and static stiffness are also followed to confirmed the validity of the analysis.

This paper presents the vibrational characteristics of linear damped vibrational systems with a linear dynamic absorber. The amplitude ratios of main vibrational system are derived from the equation of motion for the system, and optimal natural frequency ratio and damping ratio of dynamic absorber are obtained by computer simu- lation, which minimize the amplitude ratio of main vibrational system for the whole range of the frequency ratio. And, the effects of the parameters on the amplitude ratios are investigated. As the results, the effect of the natural frequency ratio on the amplitude ratio of main vibrational system is more important than that of the damping ratio of dynamic absorber as damping ratio of main vibrational system becomes larger. For the case of large damping ration of main vibrational system becomes larger. For the case of large damping ratio of main vibration system, the amplitude ratios are not decreased dramationally in spite of inoreasing mass ratio.

In Underwater Linear Sensor Networks (UW-LSN) routing process, nodes without proper address make it difficult to determine relative sensor details specially the position of the node. In addition, it effects to determine the exact leakage position with minimized delay for long range underwater pipeline monitoring. Several studies have been made to overcome the mentioned issues. However, little attention has been given to minimize communication delay using dynamic addressing schemes. This paper presents the novel solution called Hop-by-Hop Dynamic Addressing based Routing Protocol for Pipeline Monitoring (H2-DARP-PM) to deal with nodes addressing and communication delay. H2-DARP-PM assigns a dynamic hop address to every participating node in an efficient manner. Dynamic addressing mechanism employed by H2-DARP-PM differentiates the heterogeneous types of sensor nodes thereby helping to control the traffic flows between the nodes. The proposed dynamic addressing mechanism provides support in the selection of an appropriate next hop neighbour. Simulation results and analytical model illustrate that H2-DARP-PM addressing support distribution of topology into different ranges of heterogeneous sensors and sinks to mitigate the higher delay issue. One of the distinguishing characteristics of H2-DARP-PM has the capability to operate with a fewer number of sensor nodes deployed for long-range underwater pipeline monitoring.

본 논문에서는 양방향 필터와 (bilateral filter) 선형 사상 함수를 (linear mapping function) 이용한 역 톤매핑 (inverse tone mapping, iTMO) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 상용 HDR (high dynamic range) 디스플레이가 (display device) 보급됨에 따라 이미 존재하는 수 많은 LDR (low dynamic range) 영상을 활용하여 HDR 디스플레이에서 시청할 수 있도록 동적 범위를 (dynamic range) 확장하는 (expand) 역 톤 매핑 방법이 개발 되어야 한다. 여러 논문을 통해 다양한 역 톤 매핑 방법이 제안되어 왔는데, 대부분의 방법이 HDR 디스플레이의 동적 범위에 맞춰 LDR 영상의 동적 범위를 확장하는 것에 그쳤다. 확장하는 방법은 다양하지만, 동적 범위의 한계로 인해 LDR 영상에서 사라진 세부 사항을 (detail) 복원하는 것에는 전혀 효과적이지 않았다. 이에 본 논문에서는 LDR 영상의 동적 범위를 확장하는 것뿐만 아니라 LDR 영상에서 표현되지 못한 디테일을 복원하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 입력 영상에 양방향 필터를 적용하여 영상을 기본 계층과 (base layer) 세부 계층으로 (detail layer) 분해한 후 기본 계층에 대해서는 동적 범위에 맞게 확장하고, 세부 계층에 대해서는 디테일을 복원하기 위해 선형 사상 함수를 적용하였다. 실험을 통해서 다른 iTMO 방법에 비해 세부 사항을 효과적으로 복원할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Using a current-mode multiple reset, a current-to-voltage(I-V) converter with a wide dynamic range was produced. The converter consists of a trans-impedance amplifier(TIA), an analog-to-digital converter(ADC), and an N-bit counter. The digital output of the I-V converter is composed of higher N bits and lower bits, obtained from the N-bit counter and the ADC, respectively. For an input current that has departed from the linear region of the TIA, the counter increases its digital output, this determines a reset current which is subtracted from the input current of the I-V converter. This current-mode reset is repeated until the input current of the TIA lies in the linear region. This I-V converter is realized using 0.35 ${\mu}m$ LSI technology. It is shown that the proposed I-V converter can increase the maximum input current by a factor of $2^N$ and widen the dynamic range by $6^N$. Additionally, the I-V converter is successfully applied to a photometric sensor.

With the development of micro-technology, the demand for micro actuator is increasing. But, it is difficult to achieve high resolution and long travel range simultaneously with the conventional actuators. So, the noncontact surface actuator was proposed. This actuator can realize high dynamic range and the planar motion without complex cross-axis linear slides. This paper describes a magnetically suspended linear actuator for developing a non-contact surface actuator. The operating principle and the structure of the proposed linear actuator are similar to switched reluctance motor, but the proposed linear actuator utilizes normal force and propulsion force simultaneously. With this characteristic, the system can be simpler than other non-contact surface actuator.

Using a strain-controlled rheometer, the dynamic viscoelastic properties of aqueous xanthan gum solutions with different concentrations were measured over a wide range of strain amplitudes and then the linear viscoelastic behavior in small amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields was investigated over a broad range of angular frequencies. In this article, both the strain amplitude and concentration dependencies of dynamic viscoelastic behavior were reported at full length from the experimental data obtained from strain-sweep tests. In addition, the linear viscoelastic behavior was explained in detail and the effects of angular frequency and concentration on this behavior were discussed using the well-known power-law type equations. Finally, a fractional derivative model originally developed by Ma and Barbosa-Canovas (1996) was employed to make a quantitative description of a linear viscoelastic behavior and then the applicability of this model was examined with a brief comment on its limitations. Main findings obtained from this study can be summarized as follows: (1) At strain amplitude range larger than 10%, the storage modulus shows a nonlinear strain-thinning behavior, indicating a decrease in storage modulus as an increase in strain amplitude. (2) At strain amplitude range larger than 80%, the loss modulus exhibits an exceptional nonlinear strain-overshoot behavior, indicating that the loss modulus is first increased up to a certain strain amplitude(${\gamma}_0{\approx}150%$) beyond which followed by a decrease in loss modulus with an increase in strain amplitude. (3) At sufficiently large strain amplitude range (${\gamma}_0>200%$), a viscous behavior becomes superior to an elastic behavior. (4) An ability to flow without fracture at large strain amplitudes is one of the most important differences between typical strong gel systems and concentrated xanthan gum solutions. (5) The linear viscoelastic behavior of concentrated xanthan gum solutions is dominated by an elastic nature rather than a viscous nature and a gel-like structure is present in these systems. (6) As the polymer concentration is increased, xanthan gum solutions become more elastic and can be characterized by a slower relaxation mechanism. (7) Concentrated xanthan gum solutions do not form a chemically cross-linked stable (strong) gel but exhibit a weak gel-like behavior. (8) A fractional derivative model may be an attractive means for predicting a linear viscoelastic behavior of concentrated xanthan gum solutions but classified as a semi-empirical relationship because there exists no real physical meaning for the model parameters.

The dynamic behavior of power systems is affected by the interactions between linear and nonlinear components. To analyze those complicated power systems, the linear approaches have been widely used so far. Especially, a synchronous generator has been designed by using linear models and traditional techniques. However, due to its wide operating range, complex dynamics, transient performances, and its nonlinearities, it cannot be accurately modeled as linear methods based on small-signal analysis. This paper describes an application of the Takaki-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy method to model the synchronous generator in a single-machine infinite bus (SMIB) system. The T-S fuzzy model can provide a highly nonlinear functional relation with a comparatively small number of fuzzy rules. The simulation results show that the proposed T-S fuzzy modeling captures all dynamic characteristics for the synchronous generator, which are exactly same as those by the conventional modeling method.

Though the technology on the ultra-precise machining has been developed intensively, the high speed and high precision for large machining range is still very hard to achieve. The linear motor system fur the universal machining center is proper fur high speed and high precision, but it has drawback of sensitivity to disturbance. In this research, two degrees of freedom controller based on the zero phase error tracking controller (ZPETC) and disturbance observer are proposed to improve the tracking performance and dynamic stiffness of linear motor system. The proposed controller is verified in simulations and experiments on a nano-positioner system, and the experimental result shows that the tracking performance improved. In addition, the PID optimization method is proposed for the commercialized controller such as the PMAC based system. The tracking as well as impedance is included in the cost function of optimization.

The objective of the present study is to systematically characterize a linear viscoelastic behavior of petroleum jelly in small amplitude oscillatory shear flow fields correspondent to the rheological ground state. With this aim, using a strain-controlled rheometer, the dynamic viscoelastic properties of commercially available petroleum jelly have been measured at $37^{\circ}C$ (body temperature) over a wide range of angular frequencies at an extremely small strain amplitude of 0.1 %. In this article, the linear viscoelastic behavior was reported in detail and then explained from a structural view-point of petroleum jelly and discussed in depth with respect to the consumer's requirements. Main findings obtained from this study can be summarized as follows : (1) The storage modulus is always greater than the loss modulus over an entire range of angular frequencies studied, meaning that the linear viscoelastic behavior of petroleum jelly is dominated by an elastic nature rather than a viscous nature. (2) Petroleum jelly shows a desirable linear viscoelastic behavior with respect to the consumer's requirements because it is undesirable for the product to flow down from the skin at an initial stage upon contact with the human skin. (3) A fractional derivative model shows an excellent applicability to describe a linear viscoelastic behavior of petroleum jelly. However, this model should be used with a special caution because there exists no physical meaning for the model parameters. (4) A modified form of the Cox-Merz rule gives a good ability to predict the relationship between steady shear flow properties (nonlinear behavior) and dynamic viscoelastic properties (linear behavior) for petroleum jelly.
