The engine cooling system is a device that maintains the temperature in the engine room at an appropriate level by driving a cooling fan when the temperature in the engine room generated during the vehicle operation occurs over a certain temperature. In recent years, the vehicle cooling system has changed to an electronic system. Therefore, in this paper, we design and develop a hall sensor based electronic engine cooling system. In this paper, a hall sensor module and an actuator module for engine cooling control system are designed. In order to verify the performance of the designed module, the magnetic field control was verified through the simulation of the diameter and the head of the coil.

This paper presents a dynamic modeling and a sliding mode controller for the high-speed/high-accuracy position control system. The selected target system is the wire bonder assembly which is used in the semiconductor assembly process. This system is a reciprocating one around the pivot point that consists of VCM(voice coil motor) as an actuator and transducer horn as a bonding tool. For the modeling elements, the sys-tem is divided into electrical circuit, magnetic circuit and mechanical system. Each system is modeled using the bond graph method and united into the full system. Two major aims are considered in the design of the controller. The first one is that the horn must track the given reference trajectory. The second one is that the controller must be realizable by using the DSP board. Computer simulation and experimental results show that the designed sliding mode controller provides better performance than the PID controller.

In this study, byusing EMAT(Electro Magnetic Acoustic Transducer) the artificial slit is installed on 12B-SUS pipe test piece. By mading 4 cycle SH-bust wave (EMA) incidence to 45 .deg. angle, the signaldata of pulse, which is recevied from EMAT translated intodigital-signal-processing-method SSP and Deconvolution method by using FACOM. Results of these indicated that (1) this method of this study shows exellent result more than Ultrasonic testing method; (2) noise is well removed by SSP using signal dataa and resolving power and S/N ratio are advanced; (3) regradless of Ultrasonic wave, whichhas properties of generalstainless steel is generated into multiscattering and reflection phenomena, the resolving power of more than two times is progressed by being translated into Decon-volution method; and (4) as addition-averaging-processing number is increaing, the resolving power and S/N ratio are improved and the satisfactory signal is obtained.

A rig was constructed to test the performance characteristics and compare the hydraulic forces exerted on a centrifugal type artificial heart impeller. A conventional shaft. seal and bearing system. while driven by a small electric motor. supported the impeller which was separated from the pump casing by a six degree of freedom force transducer (JR3 Ine). Radial (x. y) and axial (z) hydraulic forces were recorded and compared. At physiological operating conditions. the results indicate that the double entry/exit centrifugal pump encounters a smaller radial force and significantly reduced axial thrust. These experimental results are valuable in the design of a magnetic bearing system to suspend the impeller of a centrifugal artificial heart pump. This experimental technique may also be applied to evaluate the required capacity and predict the lifetime of contact bearings in marine pumps.

Ultrasonic guided waves are gaining increasing attention for the inspection of platelike and rodlike structures. At the same time, inspection methods that do not require contact with the test piece are being developed for advanced applications. This paper capitalizes on recent advances in the areas of guided wave ultrasonics and noncontact ultrasonics to demonstrate a superior method for the nondestructive detection of thinning defects simulating hidden corrosion in thin aluminum plates. The proposed approach uses EMAT(electro-magnetic acoustic transducer) for the noncontact generation and detection of guided plate waves. Interesting features in the dispersive behavior of selected guided modes are used for the detection of plate thinning. It is shown that mode cutoff measurements provide a qualitative detection of thinning defects. Measurement of the mode group velocity can be also used to quantify of thinning depth.

본 논문은 위치 및 속도 검출기가 없는 매입형 영구자석 전동기(interior permanent magnet motor, 이하 IPMM)의 위치 제어 기법에 관한 것이다. IPMM은 기본적으로 자기적인 돌극성(magnetic saliency)을 가지고 있지만, 그것은 부하 조건에 의해 쉽게 변하는 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 제어 성능이 쉽게 떨어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 방법과 같이 그 돌극성. 혹은 임피던스 차이를 이용한다. 하지만, 회전자 위치 정보를 나타내는 임피던스 차이를 극대화하고 어떤 부하 조건에서도 성능을 유지하기 위한 고주파 신호 주입 방법이 제안된다. 제안된 방법은 IPMM의 위치 및 속도 검출기가 없는 센서리스 제어를 가능하게 한다. 단위 전류 당 최대 토오크 제어도 제안한다. 제안된 방법을 위해 다양한 부하 조건에서 IPMM의 토오크와 고주파 임피던스 특성을 분석한다. 그 특성을 기본으로 하는 속도 및 위치 추정 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 회전자 위치와 관련된 고주파 임피던스 성분을 추출한다. 실험 결과를 통해 여러 부하 조건에서 제안된 방법의 성능을 확인하였다.

This paper investigates a magnetoelectric (ME) vibration energy harvester that can scavenge energy in arbitrary directions in a plane as well as wide working bandwidth. In this harvester, a circular cross-section cantilever rod is adopted to extract the external vibration energy due to the capability of it's free end oscillating in arbitrary in-plane directions. And permanent magnets are fixed to the free end of the cantilever rod, causing it to experience a non-linear force as it moves with respect to stationary ME transducers and magnets. The magnetically coupled cantilever rod exhibits a nonlinear and two-mode motion, and responds to vibration over a much broader frequency range than a standard cantilever. The effects of the magnetic field distribution and the magnetic force on the harvester's voltage response are investigated with the aim to obtain the optimal vibration energy harvesting performances. A prototype harvester was fabricated and experimentally tested, and the experimental results verified that the harvester can extract energy from arbitrary in-plane directions, and had maximum bandwidth of 5.5 Hz, and output power of 0.13 mW at an acceleration of 0.6 g (with $g=9.8ms^{-2}$).

In this study, we analyzed the plantar shear stress and normal pressure in lateral heel diabetic foot patients during walking by using in-shoe local shear stress and plantar pressure measurement systems. The shear force transducer based on the magnetic-resistive principle, was a rigid 3-layer circular disc. Shear transducers were mounted on the locations of four metatarsal heads and heel in the insole. Twelve normal subjects and three diabetic foot patients with diabetic neuropathy in the lateral heel participated in this study. The center of pressure in lateral heel diabetic foot patients moved more medially and directed toward the first, medial to the second metatarsal heads, and the hallux during late stance, making pressure at the medial heel and the second metatarsal head significantly larger than in the normal. Shear stress at the heel changed significantly in early stance and the magnitude of shear stresses in each metatarsal head also changed. Further studies would be very helpful to design foot orthoses in patients with diabetic neuropathy or other diseases.
