The real-time characteristic of the adaptive leaning control algorithms is validated based on the applied results of the hydraulic servo system that has very strong a non-linearity. The evolutionary strategy automatically adjusts the search regions with natural competition among many individuals. The error that is generated from the dynamic system is applied to the mutation equation. Competitive individuals are reduced with automatic adjustments of the search region in accordance with the error. In this paper, the individual parents and offspring can be reduced in order to apply evolutionary algorithms in real-time. The feasibility of the newly proposed algorithm was demonstrated through the real-time test.

This paper presents a control strategy of 4 wheel drive (4WD) vehicles. Proposed control strategy has simple structure and can easily apply to various vehicles with low cost and time. It is consist of feedforward control for traction ability, fedback control for minimizing the wheel speed difference and yaw control for lateral stability. In addition, to integrate the traction and stability control, a blending function is applied. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed control strategy, actual vehicle experiment is conducted after deciding the tuning parameter through the simulation. The simulation is accomplished by CarSim and Matlab/Simulink and the actual vehicle test is conducted using full size Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) equipped rear wheel based solenoid type 4WD device.

The MPC (Model Predictive Control) is one of the techniques that can be used to control an unmanned vehicle. It predicts the future vehicle trajectory using the dynamic characteristic of the vehicle and generate the control value to track the reference path. If some obstacles are detected on the reference paths, the MPC can generate control value to avoid the obstacles imposing the inequality constraints on the MPC cost function. In this paper, we propose an obstacle modeling algorithm for MPC with inequality constraints for obstacle avoidance and a method to set selective constraint on the MPC for stable obstacle avoidance. Simulations with the field test data show successful obstacle avoidance and way point tracking performance.

A hybrid electromagnetic actuator with an air mount is designed so as to achieve the desired isolation reduce the vibration efficiency on the floor vibration. The performance specification of the hybrid electromagnetic actuator is determined based on the vibration criterion for vibration-sensitive equipment. In the design stage of the electromagnetic actuator, the simple reluctance method is adapted to analyze magnetic circuits. The result is verified by finite element analysis using ANSYS Emag. Finally, in order to confirm the design performance, a dynamic characteristic test is carried out for the prototype of a hybrid electromagnetic actuator.

The dynamic characteristics of Viscoelastic(VE) damper are experimentally studied. An experimental test was carried out to study the effects of frequency on the damping and stiffness of VE damper. Various cyclic loading tests are conducted. A good agreement was achieved between the experimental results and analytical model proposed by Kasai et al. Also the damping of acrylic rubber is compared with that of PNR material. It was concluded that the damping value of acrylic rubber is higher than that of PNR material.

Most maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control algorithm is based on Perturb and Observe(P&O) and Incremental Conductance(IncCond). In comparison with P&O and IncCond algorithm, the dynamic and tracking characteristic of IncCond algorithm is better than P&O algorithm in condition of rapidly changing solar radiation. But in the case of digital implementation, the InCond algorithm has error en decision of maximum power operation point(MPOP). To solve this problem, this paper proposes a improved IncCond algorithm, which can determine the MPOP correctly by inserting the test signal in control input. This paper proposes a novel MPPT control algorithm for the digitally implemented photovoltaic system in condition of rapidly changing solar radiation. To verify the validity of the proposed control algorithm. the computer simulation and experiment are carried out.

Printed Circuit Boards for satellite are composed of multi-layered copper plate and glass epoxy. Each copper layer have the complicated and different pattern to operate correctly for its mission. Especially. copper layer give effect on the PCB stiffness seriously. But It can make more complicate to predict the exact stiffness of PCB. In KOMPSAT-2 program, too many type of PCB are used for each electronic unit, and they have different type of pattern of copper layer. Solar array regulator has two type of PCB and it will be considered for this study. In this study. we calculate the PCB board stiffness of KOMPSAT-2 SAR unit considering the concept of simplified representative volume element. It will be correlated with the test results under KOMPSAT-2 vibration environmental condition to increase the reliability of this study.

This paper presents a discrete analysis approach to investigate the performance of dual mass flywheel (DMF). In the discrete analysis, arcspring installed between the flywheels is modeled as N- discrete elements. Each element consists of mass, spring and nonlinear friction element. LuGre friction model is used to describe nonlinear friction characteristic. Based on the dynamic models of the DMF, clutch, engine, manual transmission and vehicle, a DMF performance simulator is developed using MATLAB Simulink. Simulation results of the engine speed, driveshaft torque and vehicle velocity are compared with test results. It is found that the discrete DMF model describes the vehicle behavior closely, especially during the clutch actuation period.

Heat release characteristics of live fire load are an important parameter for performance oriented fire safety design of a building. While investigations have been carried out on the fire load and its burning behavior in office, residential and commercial buildings and so on, little effort has been paid for the rational treatment of fire load in post office buildings in Japan. In this report, burning behavior of typical combustible objects in post office buildings are studied by measuring heat release rates of plastic palettes with and without postal envelopes or packages and special containers loading numbers of palettes. The test results suggest that dynamic heat release rate is highly dependent on the condition of palettes especially if they load appropriate amount of postal envelopes or not.

In many countries the slab track of railroads is mostly applied on the railroad bridges and tunnels, however it hasn't been constructed in the tunnel in Korea. Presently the Korea high speed railway construction authority is planning to construct slab track in the tunnels to minimize the cost of maintenance and repair. In this study, dynamic characteristics of the railroad roadbed which was constructed using crushed stones obtained from tunnel construction was investigated through the field investigation, real scale model test and numerical analysis. As a conclusion, the roadbeds built with the crushed stones produced at the tunneling site satisfy the requirement of roadbed in terms of displacement and earth pressure for the slab track in tile tunnel.
