In this study, a semi-active isolator was constructed from applying a MR damper that used the MR fluid to an isolator. The parameter identification was also performed to determine the characteristics of this semi-active isolator during which the least squares method and the auxiliary variable method were applied to produce a value closest to the true value. In addition, the MR damper's nonlinear damping force was closely analyzed to greatly reduce the range of error. Based on this analysis, it was discovered that the parameter tended to increase with more electric current. Such analysis of the dynamic properties of semi-active isolator proved that constructing an isolator that provides a more stable operation could be achieved.

Lots of semi-active control devices have been developed in recent years because they have the best features of passive and active system. Especially, controllable magneto-rheological(MR) fluid devices have received significant attention in these area of research. The MR fluid is the material that reversibly changes from a free-flowing, linear viscous fluid to a semisolid with a controllable yield strength in milliseconds when exposed to a magnetic field. If the magnetic field is induced by moving a permanent magnet instead of applying current to a solenoid, it is possible to design a MR damper consuming low power because the power consumption is reduced at steady state. This paper proposes valve mode MR damper using permanent magnetic circuit that has wide range of operation with low power consumption and small size. To design a MR damper that has a large maximum dissipating torque and a low damping coefficient, a design parameter is adopted. The magnetic circuit, material of choke and choke type are selected experimentally with the design parameter. The behaviors of the damper are examined and torque tracking control using PID feedback controller is performed for step, ramp and sinusoidal trajectories.

In this paper, a new opposition based charged system search (CSS) is proposed to be used as a parameter identification of highly nonlinear semi-active magneto-rheological damper. By replacing the opposition particles with current solutions, the mentioned strategy is used to enhance the search space and to increase the exploration of CSS. To investigate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a nonlinear modified Bouc-Wen model of MR damper is considered to find its parameters, and compare it with those achieved from experimental model of MR damper. Also, by exploiting the sensitivity analysis and using the importance vector, the less importance parameters in the Bouc-Wen model are eliminated which makes the MR damper model simpler. Results demonstrate the new proposed algorithm (OBLCSS) has a high ability to tackle highly nonlinear problems. Based on the results of the α importance vector, a simplified model is proposed and its parameters are identified by using the presented OBLCSS algorithm. The simplified proposed model also has a high capability of estimating damper responses.

In this study, a control method of MR(magneto-rheological) damper for a cruise bus is investigated. A virtual dynamic damper and a sky-hook algorithm are employed to control the damping characteristics of MR damper. Coefficients for a virtual dynamic damper are determined through the parameter identification. A quarter car model of a cruise bus is established by using ADAMS/Car program for the computer simulation. Sine wave excitation and random excitation are used to compare the controlled MR damper with the passive damper. From the simulation results, the performance of MR damper with a virtual dynamic damper is better than that of the passive damper.

일반적으로 MR 감쇠기를 이용한 준능동 제어 시스템을 구축하기 위해서는 감쇠장치의 동적모델이 요구된다. 여기서, 동적모델링은 감쇠장치의 발생 감쇠력 및 거동 성향 등을 수치적으로 예측하는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 MR 감쇠기의 동적거동을 실무적인 관점에서 합리적으로 모델링하기 위하여 다양한 동적모델 중 Power 모델 및 Bingham 모델을 적용해 MR 감쇠기의 동적거동특성을 예측 평가하였다. 이때 활용한 MR 감쇠기의 실험결과는 압착식 형태로 개발된 MR 감쇠기를 대상으로 동하중 실험을 수행하여 획득하였으며, 힘-변위 이력곡선으로부터 준능동 제어장치로의 타당성을 확인하였다. 또한, 각 동적모델의 예측성능을 평가하기 위하여 우선 실험결과를 이용해 각 동적모델 별 모델변수를 규명하였고, 이를 바탕으로 힘-속도 관계곡선 및 예측된 발생 감쇠력의 오차율을 산출하여 개발된 압착식 MR 감쇠기의 실험결과와 상호 비교 평가하였다. 최종적으로 본 연구에서 개발한 압착식 MR 감쇠기는 준능동 제어장치로 활용 가능함을 확인하였고, 평가된 두 가지 동적모델은 모두 우수한 예측성능을 보임으로써 본 연구에서 개발한 압착식 MR 감쇠기는 물론 MR유체를 이용한 다양한 형태의 감쇠장치의 거동특성을 수치적으로 예측하기 위하여 간단히 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

감마분포에 따르는 K($\geq$2)개의 처리들 중에서 최대 척도모수를 갖는 처리를 선택하는 제거형 이단 선택방법을 제안하고 주어진 $(\delta^*, p^*)$에 대하여 Kim(1985)이 제안한 선택확률의 하한을 만족할때 설계상수(nr, mr, c)와 총실험횟수의 평균을 Monte Carlo 방법으로 구하였다. 또한 총실험횟수를 작게한다는 점에서 일단 선택방법보다 유용함을 밝혔다.

This paper evaluates the performance of a Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluid mount. The mount incorporates MR fluid in a conventional fluid mount to open and closed the inertia track between the fluid chambers of the mount. It is shown that such switching of the inertia track improves the mount's isolation effect, by eliminating the large transmissibility peak that commonly exists at frequencies higher than the notch frequency for conventional fluid mounts. The switching frequencies of the MR mount is evaluated, based on the parameters of the mount. A simple control scheme for switching the mount between the open and closed states is proposed, and the performance of the controlled mount is compared with conventional mounts. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the effect of parameter errors in estimating the switching frequencies and mount performance. The results show that the switching frequencies can be accurately determined from mount parameters that are easily measured or estimated.

The aim of this study is to develop a 3D registration algorithm for positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) images acquired from independent PET/CT and MR imaging systems. Combined PET/CT images provide anatomic and functional information, and MR images have high resolution for soft tissue. With the registration technique, the strengths of each modality image can be combined to achieve higher performance in diagnosis and radiotherapy planning. The proposed method consists of two stages: normalized mutual information (NMI)-based global matching and independent component analysis (ICA)-based refinement. In global matching, the field of view of the CT and MR images are adjusted to the same size in the preprocessing step. Then, the target image is geometrically transformed, and the similarities between the two images are measured with NMI. The optimization step updates the transformation parameters to efficiently find the best matched parameter set. In the refinement stage, ICA planes from the windowed image slices are extracted and the similarity between the images is measured to determine the transformation parameters of the control points. B-spline. based freeform deformation is performed for the geometric transformation. The results show good agreement between PET/CT and MR images.
