It is well known that the five-axis machining has advantages of tool accessibility and machined surface quality when compared with conventional three-axis machining. Traditional researches on the five-axis tool-path generation have addressed interferences such as cutter gouging, collision, machine kinematics and optimization of a CL(cutter location) or a cutter position. In the paper it is presented that optimal CL data for a face-milling cutter moving on a tool-path are obtained by incorporating TSS(tool swept surface) model. The TSS model from current CL position to the next CL position is constructed based on machine kinematics as well as cutter geometry, with which the deviation from the design surface can be computed. Then the next CC(cutter-contact) point should be adjusted such that the deviation conforms to given machining tolerance value. The proposed algorithm was implemented and applied to a marine propeller machining, which proved effective from a quantitative point of view. In addition, the algorithm using the TSS can also be applied to avoid cutter convex interferences in general three-axis NC machining.

In this study, TMD(Tuned Mass Damper) is installed in a retractable-roof spatial structure in order to investigate dynamic response characteristics according to mass ratio and installed position of TMD on large spatial structures. The example analytical model is generated based on the Singapore sports hub stadium. Twenty eight analytical models are used to investigate optimal installation position of TMD for the example retractable-roof spatial structure using 4 to 16 TMDs. The mass of one TMD is set up 1% of total mass at the example analytical model. Displacement response ratio of model with TMD is compared with that of base model without TMD. It has been found from numerical simulation that it is more effective to install TMD at the edge of the spatial structure rather than to concentrate the TMD at the center of the spatial structure.

This paper propose a position-speed controller with an estimator which can estimate states and disturbance. The overall control system consists of two parts: the position-speed controller and an estimator. The Kalman filter applied as state-feedback controller is an optimal state estimator applied to a dynamic system that involves random perturbations and gives a linear, unbiased and minimum error variance recursive algorithm to optimally estimate the unknown state. Therefore, we consider the error problem about the servo system modeling and the measurement noise as a stochastic system and implement a optimal state observer, and enhance the estimate performance of position and speed using that. Using two-degree-of freedom(TDOF) conception, we design the command input response and the closed loop characteristics independently. The servo system is to improve the closed loop characteristics without affecting the command imput response. The characteristics of the closed loop system is improved by suppressing disturbance torque effectively with the disturbance observer using a inverse-transfer matrix. Therefore, the performance of overall position-speed controller is enhanced. Finally, the performance of the proposed controller is exemplified by some simulations and by applying the real servo system.

This paper proposes a robust optimal nonlinear control with an observer to reject the offset errors of position tracking for surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors. We provide the control method to reject offset errors and load torque for designing field oriented control (FOC) based the alternating current (AC) frame. The proposed method consists of a torque generator, a commutation scheme, an electrical controller, and a load torque observer. The mechanical controller is designed to compensate for load torque and the offset error and generate the desired torque. The commutation scheme is proposed to create the desired currents for the desired torque. The electrical controller is developed to guarantee the desired currents. The observer is designed to estimate both the velocity and the load torque. In order to obtain the robustness to parameter uncertainties and a gain tuning guide, the linear quadratic regulator method is applied to the proposed method. The closed-loop stability is proven. A detailed process for the FOC design and an analysis of the control methods based on the AC frame are presented. The performance of the proposed method was validated via experiments. The proposed method obtains the FOC based on the AC frame. Furthermore, the position tracking performance of the proposed method is superior to that of the conventional method.

Submerged breakwaters can be installed underneath floating structures to reduce the external wave loads acting on the structure. The objective of this study was to establish an optimization analysis framework to determine the corresponding shape and position of the submerged breakwater that can minimize or maximize the external forces acting on the floating structure. A two-dimensional frequency-domain boundary element method (FD-BEM) based on the linear potential theory was developed to perform the hydrodynamic analysis. A metaheuristic algorithm, the advanced particle swarm optimization, was newly coupled to the FD-BEM to perform the optimization analysis. The optimization analysis process was performed by calling FD-BEM for each generation, performing a numerical analysis of the design variables of each particle, and updating the design variables using the collected results. The results of the optimization analysis showed that the height of the submerged breakwater has a significant effect on the surface piercing body and that there is a specific area and position with an optimal value. In this study, the optimal values of the shape and position of a single submerged breakwater were determined and analyzed so that the external force acting on a surface piercing body was minimum or maximum.

This study evaluates the sensitivity of a ferrous particle sensor in response to changes in viscosity in a gearbox. Composed of various gears, the gearbox typically occurs significant ferrous wear due to gear contact. Condition monitoring is primarily implemented by measuring the number of ferrous wear particles in the lubricant. Gearboxes are critical in many systems, including wind turbines, for facilitating changes in speed and torque. Therefore, technology to monitor ferrous particles in gearboxes is essential. In this study, a simplified gearbox is numerically modeled to assess sensor sensitivity based on viscosity and sensor position. Three sensor positions are considered: one directly beneath the gear and two at locations farther from the gear. Analyses are conducted using lubricants with low viscosity and gear oil. Sensor sensitivity is defined by the number of ferrous particles adhering to the sensor, where more particles indicated higher sensitivity. The evaluation reveals that the position directly beneath the gear exhibits the highest sensitivity due to direct influence from the main flow. To achieve optimal sensitivity, sensors should be installed in the main flow path as determined by flow analysis. Evaluation of sensor sensitivity with changes in viscosity shows that a higher viscosity results in a lower sensor sensitivity. Therefore, for ease of analysis, performing an analysis under low-viscosity conditions is useful for understanding the main flow and for identifying the optimal location for proper sensor position.

Purpose : 체내에서 optimal한 dose distribution을 얻기 위해 도입된 IMRT를 시행할 때 사용하는 MLC는 기계특성상 장기적인 check와 교정을 요한다. 또한 MLC는 static하지 않고 dynamic하기 때문에 leaf position의 실제 위치가 매우 중요하다. MLC QA를 위해 QA 소요시간 및 노력이 많이 MLC position check 요구되는 불편이 있어, 삼성서울 병원에서 필름을 이용한 MLC position check device를 제작하여 간편하게 사용하고 그 우수성에 대해 결과를 보고하고자 한다. Materials and Method : MLC position을 check하기위해 사각형 의 device(acryl:$40{\times}40{\times}5cm$)를 제작하였다. position check device의 정확도를 위해 표면에 real scale 표시용으로 Pb marker를 2cm 간격으로 부착하였다. MLC QA film은 마주보는 (opposite) MLC leaf의 간격이 4mm로 set up한 상태에서 double exposure하여 marker를 이용하여 오차를 분석하였다. MLC position check device의 효율성을 평가하기위해 6MV photon으로 10번 반복 실험을 실시하여 MLC leaf의 평균오차를 조사하고 조사에 걸린 시간을 비교하여 유용성을 평가하였다. Results : 실험결과 MLC leaf의 평균오차를 조사하고 조사에 걸린 시간을 비교하여 유용성을 평가하였다. 범위는 1.45mm였고, 최소 오차는 0.34mm로 나타났다. 1회 조사에 걸린 시간은 평균적으로 약 30분 정도 소요되었다. MLC position check device의 효율성을 평가한 결과오차의 반복성은 관찰되지 않았다. Conclusion : MLC leaf position의 정기적인 check와 교정을 위해 본원에서는 주1회 정기 position error를 check하고 있으며, 평균 월1회 교정을 한다. 본 실험을 통해 MLC position check device를 사용하여 leaf 오차가 2mm이하의 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었다. 또한 MLC position check device를 사용하면 짧은 시간에 모든 leaf의 position error를 쉽게 측정할 수 있고 한 장의 필름으로 모든 결과를 평가할 수 있어 경제성 및 업무의 효율성도 높일 수 있었다.
