Optimal aerodynamic design for the pitch-controlled horizontal axis wind turbine and its aerodynamic performance for various pitch angles are performed numerically by using the blade element momentum theory. The numerical calculation includes effects such as Prandtl‘s tip loss, airfoil distribution, and wake rotation. Six different airfoils are distributed along the blade span, and the special airfoil i.e. airfoil of 40% thickness ratio is adopted at the hub side to have structural integrity. The nonlinear chord obtained from the optimal design procedure is linearized to decrease the weight and to increase the productivity with very little change of the aerodynamic performance. From the comparisons of the power, thrust, and torque coefficients with corresponding values of different pitch angles, the aerodynamic performance shows delicate changes for just $3^{\circ}$ increase or decrease of the pitch angle. For precisive pitch control, it requires the pitch control algorithm and its drive mechanism below $3^{\circ}$ increment of pitch angle. The maximum torque is generated when the speed ratio is smaller than the designed one.

This paper presents the experimental torque disturbance analysis of a missile hatch system by spline backlash. The missile hatch system uses a spline and gear train for vertical elevation of the heavy hatch. The spline used for the rotation shaft of the hatch is generally used for automotive driving parts that transmit high amounts of power. It has an angular backlash, which results in jerks. Backlash of the hatch spline influences hatch swinging. The spline backlash and hatch swing are experimentally analyzed by measuring the hatch's rotation angle and acceleration. Hatch swing is visually observable for a short period, and it is measured by measuring the rotation angle variation and hatch acceleration. The shape of fluctuation and duration time of hatch angle variation are similar to those of torque. This shows that the hatch swing due to spline backlash generates torque disturbances.

CMG cluster which consists of four CMGs can be used to produce 3-axis torque. There are many issues that we have to investigate and validate when CMG cluster itself is developed. Thus, its ground validation and verification processes are essential. Therefore, CMG simulator which uses a torque sensor to calculate satellite attitude is proposed in this paper. Update and kalman filter are also proposed for gimbal angle problem occurred in development. The first way uses a calculated gimbal angle as a primary and a sensor angle as a scondary to reduce error. Also, the test results of specific CMG steering law as well as attitude control logic are presented as an example.

The necessity of six axis force-torque sensors is well recognized in the fields of automatic fine assembly, deburring polishing, and automatic fish processing using robotic manipulators. The paper proposes a simple and compact elastic structure of the force-torque sensor which senses externally applied three force and three torque components. Rough surface strain distribution of the elastic structure is examined analytically, and then more accurate surface strain are obtained from finite element analysis. The compliance matrix which is a linear relationship between force components and strain measurements is obtained for the proposed sensor. Some basic principles of measuring 3 force and torque components are also presented.

A stewart platform-based force/torque sensor with 6 elastic legs was designed and manufactured Kinematic design parameters were determined so that the force/torque sensor might have the isotropic force/torque properities. In a force/torque analysis, it was used the solution of forward kinematics by linearization of the solution of the inverse kinematics. The performance of te force/torque sensor was investigated by measurement experiments. The gravity compensation was conducted to reduce the force and torque effects by the weights of the upper plate, joints and other sensor parts.

Transverse flux machine (TFM) has been considered as a promising driving machine especially at the low-speed applications because it has higher power density, torque and efficiency than the conventional electrical motors. However, it has complicated structure, large torque ripple and sometimes unbalanced magnetic force due to its inherent structure. This paper investigates the characteristics of torque ripple and unbalanced magnetic force of a rotatory two-phase TFM due to the teeth geometry by using the 3-dimensional finite element method, and it develops a rotatory two-phase TFM with herringbone teeth to reduce the torque ripple as well as to eliminate the unbalanced magnetic force.

초고속 정전유도형 정전전동기의 개발의 위한 기초연구로서 회전자 물질의 표면저항률, 비유전율 및 전하완하시정수의 변화에 따른 회전자의 회전속도특성을 조사하였다. 회전자표층물질의 비유전율 및 표면저항률은 클수록 회전자의 회전속도는 증가하였으며, 또한 이 두 요소를 곱한 회전지표면에 유도된 전하의 완화시정수가 클수록 회전속도는 증가하였다. 한편 회전자표층물질로서 도전성물질(Ti)을 폴리프로필렌 위에 불연속적으로, 즉 띠의 모양으로 증착한 시료를 사용하여 띠의 폭 및 경사각의 변화에 따른 회전자의 회전속도특성 및 토크 특성을 조사하였다. 이 경우 띠의 폭이 적어질수록 회전자의 회전수는 지수함수적으로 증가하였으며, 등간격으로 세분화한 것을 회전자의 축에 대해서 회전방향으로 경사각$\theta$만큼 기울였을 때 $\theta$=60。 및 150。일 때 회전자의 회전속도가 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 경사각 $\theta$=0。일때에 비해서 약 125[%]정도 높은 회전속도를 보였다. 최대토크 및 최대출력은 각각 {{{{25$\times$ { 10}^{ -6} [Nm]}}}}및 11.5[mW]이었다.

본 논문에서는 신호주입을 이용하여 매입형 영구자석 동기전동기(IPMSM)의 벡터제어에 필요한 d,q축 인덕턴스를 전동기가 정지한 상태에서 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다. IPMSM의 경우 초기 기동토크를 제대로 발생시키고 d,q 축 인덕턴스의 차이에 의해 발생하는 릴럭턴스 토크를 효과적으로 이용하기 위해서 이 인덕턴스 값은 반드시 필요하다. 제안하는 추정방법은 매우 짧은 시간에 수행되어지며 복잡한 연산이 필요하지 않으므로 산업현장에서 매우 유용하게 적용 될 것이다.

The paper presents the experimental analysis of a Stewart platform-based force-torque senor. The closed-form solution of forward kinematics of the Stewart platform is derived approximately by way of a linearization technique, and the solution is used in the force analysis of the force-torque sensor. An exper- mental studies show that the proposed method including gravity compensation algorithm is valid for Stew- art platform-based force-torque sensors. The performance of the developed force-torque sensor is evaluated in view of accuracy and linearity in measurements.
