Most turbo machines, which operate at high speeds, such as gas turbines, jet engines, pumps, and compressors are prone to perrturbing vibrations. The best vibration control method for rotors is to eliminate destabilizing factors. Careful balancing application of "more stable" oil-lubricated bearing, such as tilting pad bearings or use of anti-swirl devices in seals, are examplse of passive vibration control methods. the use of magnetic bearing is an active control method. An obvious advantage of active control is that it provides damping (or modifies system stiffness or other parameters) only when there is a need for that, i.e., in emergency states, while not affecting the rotor normal operational conditions. Moreover, active control methods provide exact position control through on-line control. In this study, a magnetic actuator, digital contrliier using DSP, and bipolar operational power supply/amplifiers were developed to show the effectiveness of reducing robot vibration. Also the curve fitting procedure to obtain the transfer function of frequency dependent component was developed. Results presented in this dissertation will provide a well-defined technical parameters in designing magnetic damper system.er system.

Superconductor flywheel energy storage system (SFESs) is an electro-mechanical battery with high energy storage density, long life, and good environmental affinity. SFESs have been developed for application to a regenerative power of train, the storage of distributed power sources such as solar and wind power, and a power quality improvement. As superconductor bearing is completely passive, it is not necessary to control a system elaborately but accurate analysis in mechanical properties of the HTS bearing is very important for application to SFESs. Stiffness and damping properties are the main index for evaluation the capacity of HTS bearings and make it possible to adjust rotordynamic properties while operating the rotor-bearing system. The superconductor bearing consists of a stator containing single grain YBCO bulks, a ring-type permanent magnet rotor with a strong magnetic field that can reach the bulk surface, and a bearing support for assembly to SFESs frame. In this study, we investigated the stiffness and damping properties of superconductor bearings in 35 kWh SFESs. Finally, we found that 35 kWh superconductor bearing has uniform stiffness properties depend on the various orientations of rotor vibration. We discovered total damping coefficient of superconductor bearing is affected by not only magnetic damping in superconductor bulk but also external damping in bearing support. From the results, it is confirmed that the conducted evaluation can considerably improve energy storage efficiency of the SFESs, and these results can be used for the optimal capacity of superconductor bearings of the SFESs.

Magnetorheological elastomer (MRE), a smart material, is an innovative material for base isolation system. It has magnetorheological (MR) effect that can control the stiffness in real-time. In this paper, a new hybrid base isolation system combining two electromagnetic closed circuits and the roller bearing is proposed. In the proposed system, the roller part can support the vertical load. Thus, the MRE part is free from the vertical load and can exhibit the maximum MR effect. The MRE magnetic loop is constructed in the free space of the roller bearing and forms a strong magnetic field. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed hybrid base isolation system, dynamic characteristic tests and performance evaluation were carried out. Dynamic characteristic tests were performed under the extensive range of strain of the MRE and the change of the applied current. Performance evaluation was carried out using the hybrid simulation under five earthquakes (i.e., El Centro, Kobe, Hachinohe, Northridge, and Loma Prieta). Especially, semi-active fuzzy control algorithm was applied and compared with passive type. From the performance evaluation, the comparison shows that the new hybrid base isolation system using fuzzy control algorithm is superior to passive type in reducing the acceleration and displacement responses of a target structure.

In order to extract bearing information from the directional sensors of DIFAR(directional frequency analysis and recording) that is a kind of passive sonobuoy, the cardioid beamforming algorithm applicable to DIFAR system was studied in the frequency domain. the algorithm uses narrow-band signals propagated though the media from the acoustic sources such as ship machineries. The proposed algorithm is expected to give signal to noise ratio of 6dB when it uses the maximum response axis(MRA) among the Cardioid beams. The estimated bearings agree very well with those from GPS data. Assuming the bearings from GPS data to be real values, the estimation errors are analyzed statistically. The histogram of estimation errors in each frequency have Gaussian shape, the mean and standard deviation dropping in the ranges -1.1~$6.7^{\circ}$ and 13.3~$43.6^{\circ}$, respectively. Estimation errors are caused by SMR degradation due to propagation loss between the source and receiver, daily fluctuating geo-magnetic fields, and non-stationary background noises. If multiple DIFAR systems are employed, in addition to bearing, range information could be estimated and finally localization or tracking of a target is possible.

본 논문에서는 환형 영구자석을 이용한 스러스트 베어링의 최적설계에 대하여 기술하였다. 영구자석형 스러스트 베어링은 두 조의 환형 영구자석으로 이루어지며, 한 조의 영구자석이 다른 한 조의 영구자석 내부에위치한다. 영구자석간의 축방향 변위 (엇갈림)에 의해 축방향 힘이 발생하고 이를 통해 스러스트 베어링 역할을 하게 된다. 최소한의 영구자석으로 베어링 부하용량을 만족하는 베어링 설계 파라미터를 구하기 위해 본 논문에서는 등가전류판 방법을 이용하여 해석적 설계식을 유도하고, 적절한 제한 조건을 설정하여 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 최적 설계 결과는 3 차원 유한요소해석을 통해 검증하였다. 본 논문에서 고려한 축방향 배열과 Halbach 배열의 스러스트 베어링 중 Halbach 배열이 축방향 배열에 비해 동일한 부피의 영구자석으로 더 큰 부하용량을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다. 등가전류판 방법의 유효성을 3 차원 유한요소해석을 통해 검증하였고, 축방향 배열보다Halbach 배열이 등가전류판 방법의 가정에 좀 더 민감하게 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다.

최근 들어 지진발생 빈도의 증가와 더불어 초고층 빌딩, 장대교량 등과 같은 대형구조물의 경량화, 유연화로 인해 발생하는 구조물의 과도한 동적거동을 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 제진시스템의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지진으로부터 구조물을 보다 효과적으로 보호하기 위해 자기장에 의해 역학적 성질을 변화시킬 수 있는 제어가 가능한 지능형재료인 자기민감 고무(Magneto-Sensitive Rubber)를 이용한 반 능동 기초격리 시스템을 제안하였다. 제안된 기초격리 시스템은 기존의 LRB(Lead-Rubber Bearing) 시스템과의 비교 분석을 통해 면진성능을 평가하였으며 이를 위해 몇 가지 역사적 지진들을 이용수치해석을 수행하였다. 제안된 자기민감 고무를 이용한 반 능동 기초격린 시스템은 기존의 수동 시스템보다 기초전단력이나 상부구조물에 가속도 전달을 차단함과 동시에 기초변위를 현저하게 감소시킬 수 있음을 보였다. 그러므로 자가민감 고무를 이용한 반 능동 기초격리 시스템은 지진으로부터 구조물을 효과적으로 보호할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, as large structures become lighter and more flexible, the necessity of structural control for reducing excessive displacement and acceleration due to seismic excitation is increased. As a means to minimize seismic damages, various base isolation systems are adopted or considered for adoption. In this study, a base isolation system using Magneto-Sensitive(MS) rubbers is proposed and shown to effectively protect structures against earthquakes. The MS Rubber is a class of smart controllable materials whose mechanical properties change instantly by the application of a magnetic field To demonstrate the advantages of this approach, the MS Rubber isolation system is compared to Lead-Rubber Bearing(LRB) isolation systems and judged based on computed responses to several historical earthquakes. The MS Rubber isolation system is shown to achieve notable decreases in base drifts over comparable passive systems with no accompanying increase in base shears or in accelerations imparted to the superstructure.
