The maximum speed is one of the most important performance in high speed railway vehicle. The higher the train speed is, the worse the ride comfort is, In order to solve this problem, a semi-active or active suspension can be applied to high speed railway vehicle. The variable damper with hydraulic solenoid valve is used in the semi-active suspension. But the variable damper with hydraulic solenoid valve requires tank for supplying fluid. The MR(Magneto Rheological) damper can be considered instead of hydraulic variable damper which needs additional device, i.e. reserver tank for fluid. In the case of active suspension, hydraulic actuator or electro-mechanical one is used to suppress the carbody vibration in railway vehicle. In this study the MR damper and electro-mechanical actuator was considered in secondary suspension system of high speed railway vehicle. The dynamic analysis was performed by using 10-DOF dynamic equations of railway vehicle. The performance of the semi-active suspension and active suspension system were reviewed by using MATLAB/Simulink S/W. The vibration suppression effect of semi-active and active suspension system were investigated experimentally by using 1/5-scaled railway vehicle model.

A fuzzy-sliding mode controller is presented to control the dynamics of semi-active suspension systems of vehicles using magneto-rheological (MR) fluid dampers. A full car model is used to design and evaluate the performance of the proposed semi-active controlled suspension system. Four mixed mode MR dampers are designed, manufactured, and integrated with four independent sliding mode controllers. The siding mode controller is designed to decrease the energy consumption and maintain robustness. In order to overcome the chattering of the sliding mode controllers, a fuzzy logic control strategy is merged into the sliding mode controller. The proposed fuzzy-sliding mode controller is designed and fabricated. The performance of the semi-active suspensions is evaluated in both the time and frequency domains. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed fuzzy-sliding mode controller can effectively suppress the vibration of vehicles and improve their ride comfort and handling stability. Furthermore, it is shown that the "chattering" of the sliding mode controller is smoothed when it is integrated with a fuzzy logic control strategy. Although the cost function of the fuzzy-sliding mode control is a slightly higher than that of a classical LQR controller, the control effectiveness and robustness are enhanced considerably.

This paper proposes a hydraulic circuit for a Magnetorheological (MR) damper that can be used for semi-active and active controls. Methods are presented for obtaining reliable damping force displacement and velocity data, and hysteresis loop data corresponding to applied current. In order to get reliable data, analysis using electric and electronic software, a series of tests. and comparative evaluations are required. A hydraulic circuit model is proposed that can be applied to analyze a MR damper without any assumptions where the yield stress data according to the applied current are known. Analysis results of the proposed hydraulic circuit are confirmed by experimental results within acceptable tolerance. This hydraulic circuit model can be applied to various MR dampers and systems.

MR 댐퍼는 자기장의 영향으로 인한 MR 유체의 응집현상으로 자기전단력을 발생한다. MR 유체는 기존유체와 자기입자로 구성되어 있다. 본 연구에서 밀도 1.3, 1.5, $1.7g/cm^3$ 그리고 점도 1,000, 10,000cP를 가지는 MR 유체 6종과 오리피스 형상 6종에 대한 MR 댐퍼의 댐핑력을 조사하였다. MR 유체의 밀도와 점도 변화에 따라서 MR 댐퍼의 댐핑력이 변하였다. 오리피스 형상변화에 대한 댐핑력은 오리피스 갭이 적고 길이가 짧을수록 크게 나타났다. 이들 연구결과로부터 MR 댐퍼의 최적설계를 위해서는 MR 유체의 선정과 오리피스 형상이 중요한 설계변수임을 확인하였다.

MR 유체의 물리적 특성은 자기장에 의해 영향을 받으며, 베이스 오일에 마이크로 크기의 자성 파우더가 분산되어 있다. 그러므로 오일과 파우더의 밀도 차이로 MR 댐퍼에 사용되는 MR 유체의 분산 안정성은 중요한 문제이다. 본 실험연구에서는 MR 댐퍼에 사용되는 MR 유체의 화학적 조성에 따른 물리적 특성을 규명해보고자 MR 유체를 제조하여 분산 안정성과 물리적 특성을 조사하였다. 216종의 MR 유체는 자성파우더(2종), 계면활성제(2종), 베이스오일(2종), 특성첨가제(3종), 밀도(3종), 점도(3종)을 이용하여 제조되었다. 실험결과로부터 SEM, 자속밀도, MR 유체의 상등액과 침강층의 분산 자료를 확보하였다.

With the progress in virtual reality technology, various virtual objects can be displayed using head-mounted displays (HMD). However, force feedback sensations such as pushing against a virtual object are not possible with an HMD only. Focusing on force feedback, desktop-type devices are generally used, but the user cannot move in a virtual space because such devices are fixed on a desk. With a wearable force feedback device, users can move around while experiencing force feedback. Therefore, the authors have developed a wearable force feedback device using a magnetorheological fluid clutch and pneumatic rubber artificial muscle, aiming at presenting the elasticity, friction, and viscosity of an object. To date, we have developed a wearable four-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF) force feedback device and have quantitatively evaluated that it can present commanded elastic, frictional, and viscous forces to the end effector. However, sensory evaluation with a human has not been performed. In this paper, therefore, we conduct a sensory evaluation of the proposed method. In the experiment, frictional and viscous forces are rendered in a virtual space using a 4-DOF force feedback device. Subjects are asked to answer questions on a 1- to 7-point scale, from 1 (not at all) to 4 (neither) to 7 (strongly). The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used for all data, and answer 4 (neither) was used as compared standard data. The experimental results confirmed that the user could feel the presence or absence of viscous and frictional forces. However, the magnitude of those forces was not sensed correctly.

This paper is concerned with a study on the control effect of the MR damper using the cutout piston. The MR damper has passive damping force by the oil pressure and controllable damping force by the magnetic effect. As the velocity of the MR damper's piston increases the passive damping force increases and the ratio of the controllable damping force to the total damping force is decreased. Consequently, the control performance of the MR damper is reduced according to the increase of the velocity. In this paper, the cutout piston concept is applied to the MR damper to improve MR damper's control performance by reducing the passive damping effect. The MR damper with the cutout piston has been designed and manufactured and its hydraulic and electromagnetic analysis has been performed to predict its performance. The control performances of the MR damper with the cutout piston are verified through the comparison of experiment results and simulation results.

When an aircraft is taxiing, excitation force is applied according to the shape of the road surface. The sprung mass acceleration caused by the excitation of the road surface negatively affects the feeling of boarding. This paper addresses the verification process of the semi-active control method applied to improve the feeling of boarding. The Magneto-Rheological damper landing gear model is employed alongside the control method. It is a Oleo-Pneumatic damper filled with a fluid having the characteristics of increasing yield stress when subjected to a magnetic field. The control method involves verifying Skyhook Control Type2 developed by Skyhook control. The Sinozuka white noise model that considers runway characteristics was employed for the road surface in the simulation. The runway road surface obtained through this model has stochastic characteristics, so the dynamic characteristics were analyzed by applying Monte-Carlo simulation. A dynamic analysis was conducted by co-simulating the landing gear model made by RecurDyn and the control method designed by Simulink. Simulation results show that the Skyhook Control Type2 method has the best control effect in the low speed range compared to the passive type (without control) and skyhook control.

의료 현장에서의 최소침습수술(MIS)의 어려움 때문에 시뮬레이터 훈련이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 S-chain모델을 사용하여 가상 장기와 변형과정을 표현하고 반발력 제공이 가능한 햅틱 시뮬레이터를 개발하고자 한다. S-chain알고리즘의 주요 원리는 반발력이 체인 요소의 수에 비례하는 것이며, 대상인 장기의 변형이 클수록 많은 계산시간을 요구한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 계산속도가 개선된 S-chain알고리즘을 회전움직임에 적용하여 제어성능을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서는 자기 점성 점성(MR) 유체를 사용하는 햅틱 마스터 시스템을 제안하고 S-chain모델을 개발한다. 결과적으로, 이 S-chain모델을 사용하여 가상의 장기와 실제 마스터 장치를 결합함으로써 반발력과 수술로봇의 좌표 위치를 서로 전달하는 햅틱 시스템을 구축하여, 햅틱 시뮬레이터의 제어 성능을 실험을 통해 평가하였다.
