This paper presents the process of the needle lift estimation ova common-rail injector fur HSDI(High Speed Direct Injection) diesel engines. A nonlinear mathematical model of dynamic behaviors of common-rail injector is established at first. Based on the mathematical model of the common-rail injector, the methodology of estimating the injector needle lift is introduced. A sliding mode observer is applied to overcome the model uncertainties. The common-rail injector model and the needle lift estimator are verified by simulations and experiments. The simulation and experimental results indicate that the model outputs are in a good agreement with experimental data, and the proposed nonlinear sliding observer can effectively estimate the needle lift.

Variable structure control (VSC) can be used for the control of power plants required stability and robustness such as elevator control. It has no overshoot and is insensitive to parameter variations and disturbances in the sliding mode where the system structure is changed with the sliding surface in the center. But in the real system, VSC has a high frequency chattering which has a bad influence upon the control system proformances. In this paper, to alleviate the high frequency chattering, a binary controller (BC) with inertial type external loop is implemented by DSP and applied to position control of brushless DC motor. Binary controller has external loop to generate the continuous control input with the flexible variation of primary loop gain. Thus it has the property of chattering alleviation in addition to advantages of the conventional variable structure control.

The position information of the rotor are required while the SRG(Switched Reluctance Generator) is drived. The position information is generally provided by shaft encoder or resolver. But it is weak in the dusty, high temperator and EMI environment. Therefore, the sensor is able to required to eliminated from the SRG. In this paper, a estimation algorithm for the rotor position of the SRG is introducted and a constant DC-link voltage is controled by PID controller. The estimation algorithm is implemened by the adaptive sliding observer and that it is able to estimate the rotor position well is proved by the simulation.

Characteristics of joint orientation, length, spacing and their distribution are very important factors for slope stability, Especially, the effect of joint spacing is an essential factor of slope stability. This study is to analyze the effect of joint spacing in cases of sliding and toppling, which is a typical failure mode. Joint spacing can divided into vertical spacing(spacing) and horizontal spacing(gap). And then, the spacing/length ratio of joint directly affect rock slope failure. When the ratio is below 0.05, the possibility of failure is rapidly increased. In case of toppling, the possibility of failure depends on the ratio of spacing to height of slope ratio slope. As the ratio decreases, the possibility of toppling failure increased. The critical ratio of spacing to height of slope is determined by the dip angle of the slope and the orientation of joint sets.

The purpose of this study is ID form the required force for measurements of the performances of the equipments or testpieces. For the generation of the required force, ft difference of pressures in each chamber of the hydraulic cylinder was controlled and Variable Structure Control theory was adopted to control it. Besides, observers -Luenberger Observer and nonlinear Variable Structure Observer - were designed to estimate the derivative of the load pressure which is necessary ID determine the sliding surface in VSC theory. As a consequence of the computer simulation, it was shown that VSC had better performance than classical control theory(P, PD control) and VSO performed better than the Luenberger Observer at the load pressure control.

Although the general sliding model control has the robust property, bounds on the disturbances and parameter variations should be known a prior to the designer of the control system. However, these bounds may not be easily obtained. Fuzzy logic provides an effective way to design a controller of the system with disturbances and parameter variations. Therefore, combination of the best feature of the fuzzy logic control and the sliding mode control is considered. In this paper, the adaptive fuzzy variable structure controller developed for variables of fuzzy logic. A variable length pendulum system is used to demonstrate the availability of the proposed algorithm.

This paper investigated the speed sensorless indirect vector control of a two-phase induction motor to implement adjustable-speed drive for low-power applications. The sliding mode observer estimates rotor speed. The convergence of the nonlinear time-varying observer along with the asymptotic stability of the controller was analyzed. To define the control action which maintains the motion on the sliding manifold, an 'equivalent control' concept was used. It was simulated and implemented on a sensorless indirect vector drive for 150W two-phase induction motor. The simulation and experimental results demonstrated effectiveness of the estimation method.

This paper presents a new stable composite control law for the flexible joint robot manipulators, which incorporate an additional stabilizing control law with the sliding property. The singularly perturbated models in this paper include inertia moments which are functions or the deformations of actuators as well as link positions. The values of renewedly defined fast controller variables are computer from the corrected reduced-order model without additional computational loads. Proposed schemes are compared with the conventional one. The simulations for 2 DOF flexible joint manipulator show that the proposed schemes are more stable than the conventional scheme, and especially effective for the manipulator with high joint-flexibilities.

The chattering phenominon is the one of the problems on Variable Structure Controller(VSC). To alleviate this problem, Modified Variable Structure Controller(MVSC) with sliding sector is presented in this paper. This controller is adopted to the position drive system of brushless dc motor. For the simplification of hardware, the current controller also uses the sliding mode control method. Computer simulations are presented to show chattering alleviation of the proposed control scheme.

In this paper, new sliding mode control method is proposed to reduce the input chattering. In this procedure, virtual state is defined and augmented system is constructed based on it. For the augmented system, new SMC is designed and low pass filtered. The actual input to the system is the filtered SMC. The reaching phase problem is solved by setting the virtual state to make the initial value of sliding function equal to zero.
