This paper presents the analysis and optimization of air-core permanent magnet linear synchronous motor with overlapping concentrated windings to achieve high thrust density, high thrust per copper losses and low thrust ripple. For the motor design, we adopt equivalent magnetizing current (EMC) method to analyze the magnetic field and give analytical formulae for calculation of motor parameters such as no-load back EMF, dynamic force, thrust density and thrust per copper losses. Further, we proposed a multi-objective optimization by genetic algorithm to search for the optimum parameters. The design optimization is verified by 2-D Finite Element analysis (FEA).

이 논문에서는 광대역 CDMA방식이 이동통신 시스템의 성능을 떨어뜨리는 다경로 페이딩현상의 영향을 근본적으로 줄일 수 있다는 것을 보였다. 광대역 CDMA 시스템은 높은 chip rate(약 10Mbps 이상)를 갖는 PN코드를 사용하여 신호를 대역확산하고, 수신단에서 신호를 복조할 때에 이와 똑같은 코드로 자기상관관계를 얻어 수신신호를 역확산한다. 이것은 수신단에서 확산코드를 동기화할 때 처음으로 도달하는 신호에 비해 한 칩 간격이상의 지연시간을 가지고 수신되는 다경로 신호는 상관관계가 없으므로 제거할 수 있어서 다경로파에 의한 페이딩현상의 영향을 원천적으로 줄일 수 있다는 것이다. 여기서 사용되는 광대역 페이딩 채널은 UHF대역에서 실측데이타와 비슷하게 모델한 채널모델을 참고하여 적절한 선형필터라고 가정하고, 신호의 송·수신을 컴퓨터 모의실험으로 행하였다. 그리고 성능확인을 위하여 협대역 시스템과 광대역 시스템에서의 수신신호에 대한 눈패턴을 도식적으로 비교·검토하었다.

One of the most effective countermeasures for mitigating cable vibration is to install mechanical dampers near the anchorage of the cable. Most of the dampers used in the field are so-called passive dampers where their parameters cannot be changed once designed. The parameters of passive dampers are usually determined based on the optimal damper force obtained from the universal design curve for linear dampers, which will provide a maximum additional damping for the cable. As the optimal damper force is chosen based on a predetermined principal vibration mode, passive dampers will be most effective if cable undergoes single-mode vibration where the vibration mode is the same as the principal mode used in the design. However, in the actual engineering practice, multi-mode vibrations are often observed for cables. Therefore, it is desirable to have dampers that can suppress different modes of cable vibrations simultaneously. In this paper, MR dampers are proposed for controlling multi-mode cable vibrations, because of its ability to change parameters and its adaptability of active control without inquiring large power resources. Although the highly nonlinear feature of the MR material leads to a relatively complex representation of its mathematical model, effective control strategies can still be derived for suppressing multi-mode cable vibrations based on nonlinear modelling, as proposed in this paper. Firstly, the nonlinear Bouc-wen model is employed to accurately portray the salient characteristics of the MR damper. Then, the desired optimal damper force is determined from the universal design curve of friction dampers. Finally, the input voltage (current) of MR damper corresponding to the desired optimal damper force is calculated from the nonlinear Bouc-wen model of the damper using a piecewise linear interpolation scheme. Numerical simulations are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm for mitigating multi-mode cable vibrations induced by different external excitations.

Over the past few decades, seismic retrofitting of structural systems has been significantly improved by the adoption of various methods such as FRP composite wraps, base isolation systems, and passive/active damper control systems. In parallel with this trend, probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) for structural and nonstructural components has become necessary for risk mitigation and the achievement of reliable designs in performance-based earthquake engineering. The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect on piping fragility at T-joints due to seismic retrofitting of structural systems with passive energy-dissipation devices (i.e., linear viscous dampers). Three mid-rise building types were considered: without any seismic retrofitting; with distributed damper systems; with optimal placement of dampers. The results showed that the probability of piping system failure was considerably reduced in a Multi Degree of Freedom (MDOF) building retrofitted with optimal passive damper systems at lower floor levels. This effect of damper systems on piping fragility became insignificant as the floor level increased.

Recently, the demand of maglev systems in the manufacturing industry for LCD and OLED display panels, which are required to be very clean and possess vacuum systems, has been increasing due to their characteristics such as being non-contact, noise free and eco-friendly. However, it is still a challenge to simultaneously control both the propulsion and levitation for their interactive effect difficult to be exactly measured. In this paper, we proposed a new tuning method for controlling the magnetic levitation force robustly against the levitation disturbance caused by a propulsion system, based on LQ servo optimal control. The disturbance torque of the LSM propulsion system is calculated through FEM analysis in such a way that the LQ servo controller is determined in order to minimize the effect of the disturbance. The robust performance of the proposed LQ servo control method for the in-track type magnetic levitation systems is demonstrated via simulations and experiments.

An ultraprecision multi-axis machine tool has been designed and developed in our laboratory. The machine tool has four moving axes which are composed of three linear axes and one rotational axis. It has a gantry type structure and the Z-axis is on the X-axis and the C-axis, on which a workpiece is located, is inside the Y-axis. This paper shows control performance improving method and procedure for the ultra-precision positioning control of a hydrostatic bearing guided linear axis. Through improvements of electrical and mechanical components for the control system such as control electronics and oil pumping systems, the control disturbing noise is decreased. Also by the frequency domain analysis of control system those problem-making system components are identified and modified with analytical methods. The controller is analyzed and designed from frequency domain data and system information. In the experimental control results the nanometer order control result is successfully presented.

This paper presents the design methodology of an unknown input observer for Lipschitz nonlinear systems with unknown inputs in the framework of convex optimization. We use an unknown input observer (UIO) to consider both nonlinearity and disturbance. By deriving a sufficient condition for exponential stability in the linear matrix inequality (LMI) form, existence of a stabilizing observer gain matrix of UIO will be assured by checking whether the quadratic stability margin of the error dynamics is greater than the Lipschitz constant or not. If quadratic stability margin is less than a Lipschitz constant, the coordinate transformation may be used to reduce the Lipschitz constant in the new coordinates. Furthermore, to reduce the maximum singular value of the observer gain matrix elements, an object function to minimize it will be optimally designed by modifying its magnitude so that amplification of sensor measurement noise is minimized via multi-objective optimization algorithm. The performance of UIO is compared to a nonlinear observer (Luenberger-like) with an application to a flexible joint robot system considering a change of load and disturbance. Finally, it is validated via simulations that the estimated angular position and velocity provide true values even in the presence of unknown inputs.

The complexity and severe nonlinearity of multi-machine power systems make it difficult to design a control input for voltage regulation using modern control theory. This paper presents a model-based PID control scheme for the regulation of the bus voltage to a desired value. To this end, a fourth-order linear system is constructed using input and output data obtained using the TSAT (Transient Security Assessment Tool); the input is assumed to be applied to the grid through the STATCOM (STATic synchronous COMpensator) and the output from the grid is a bus voltage. On the basis of the model, it is identified as to which open-loop poles of the system make the response to a step input oscillatory. To reduce this oscillatory response effectively, a model-based PID control is designed in such a way that the oscillatory poles are no longer problematic in the closed loop. Simulation results show that the proposed PID control dampens the response effectively.

Luenberger observer (LO)-based sensorless multi-loop control of a converter requires an iterative trial-and-error design process, considering that many parameters should be determined, and loop gains are indirectly related to the closed-loop characteristics. Robust H∞ control adopts a compact sensorless controller. The algebraic Riccati equation (ARE)-based and linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based H∞ approaches need an exhaustive procedure, particularly for a low-order controller. Therefore, in this study, a novel robust H∞ synthesis approach is proposed to design a low-order sensorless controller for boost converters, which need not solve any ARE or LMI, and to parameterize the controller by an adjustable parameter behaving like a "knob" on the closed-loop characteristics. Simulation results show the straightforward closed-loop characteristics evaluation and better dynamic performance by the proposed H∞ approach, compared with the LO-based sensorless multi-loop control. Practical experiments on a digital processor confirmed the simulation results.

본 논문에서는 다중사용자 다중입출력 시스템에서 대역폭 효율의 감소 없이 페이딩에 대한 수신 성능을 향상시키는 부호화 알고리듬을 제안한다. 기존의 다중사용자 다중입출력 방식으로 사용되는 공간분할다중화 방식은 페이딩 경로에 취약하며, 이를 극복하기 위한 시공간블록부호화 방식은 전송량이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 제안 부호화 알고리듬은 페이딩 환경에 강인하고 전송량이 송신 안테나 개수에 비례하여 증가하는 LDC(linear dispersion code) 기법을 이용하여 송신 심벌을 부호화하고, 예측한 채널 이득의 특이값 분해 값을 LDC 부호화 심벌에 전처리하여 성능을 개선한다. 그리고 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 기존 알고리듬과 제안하는 알고리듬의 성능을 비교 평가한다.
