In this paper, the problem of designing a feedback controller for a robotic manipulator, which is activated by a D.C. motor through a gear train and a flexible shaft or chain, is considered. When the response of the closed loop control system is relatively slow, a satisfactory controller may be designed as a PID controller. As the speed of the control system increases, however, the spring effect of the linkage becomes profound, and as a result, the transient response exhibits a substantial oscillation. To eliminate this oscillation, it is necessary to design the controller based on at least a fourth order system model. This, in turn, requires the feedback of the entire state variables. In practice, however, only the position of the manipulator and the velocity of the motor are readily measurable. The state variable reconstruction method or a state observer cannot be used because of the system nonlinearities such as the Coulomb frictions. In this study, an alternative controller, which is based on delayed feedback of the output variable only, is proposed, and a successful delayed feedback controller is designed and implemented on an actual experimental manipulator.

A procedure for the prediction of the off-design performance of a gas turbine engine is proposed. The system performance at off-design speed is predicted by coupling the thermodynamic models of a compressor and a turbine. The off-design performance of a compressor is obtained using the stage-stackimg method, while the Ainlay-Mathieson method is used for a turbine. The procedure is applied to a single-shaft gas turbine and its predictability is found satisfactory. The results also show that the net work output increases with the increase of the turbine inlet temperature, while the thermal efficiency is marginal. The maximum thermal efficiency at design point is obtained between the highest pressure ratio and design pressure ratio.

The design of multi-stage gear drives is a time-consuming process that includes additional design problems, which are not considered in the design of single-stage gear drives. In the previous research works, the authors have proposed a new algorithm to design multi-stage gear drives at the preliminary design phase. The proposed design algorithm automates the design process by integrating the dimensional design and the configuration design process. In the configuration design process, the positions of gears and shafts are determined by minimizing the geometrical volume (size) of a gearbox. However, various types of spatial constraints should be satisfied in practical design situation. To locate input and output shaft in specified positions is the typical example of such problems. In this paper, the authors show the formulations of spatial constraints applied to the design of four-stage gear drives. The design solution shows considerably good results, and the design system is confirmed to be readily applicable to practical design situation.

This thesis presents the design method using CAE(Computer Aided Engineering) with the consideration of reliability for optimal gear driving system. The validity and feasibility of the proposed method are verified by the application to transmission of machine tool. The reliability and life analysis is based on the two-parameter Weibull distribution lives of the gears and bearings. Ninety-percent of reliability life is the life of the component or system in million output rotations or hours at which ninety percent of identical components or system would survive under the given loading conditions.

Numerous connectors are used in automobiles for transmission of electrical signals across various electro-mechanical components. The connectors must operate with high reliability in order to minimize failures due to signal degradation. In this work, the effects of contamination at the contact interface of connectors used fur automobile crankshaft position sensor on the impedance change were investigated. An experimental set-up was built to simulate the electrical signal transmitted from the sensor to the engine control unit through a connector. Output from the connector was investigated using connectors contaminated with engine block residues and water droplets. It was found that slight contamination of the connectors could lead to significant signal degradation which can lead to engine failure. Also, the effect of water in the connector altered the signal severely. However, the signal gradually regained the original state as the water evaporated from the interface.

Salient pole rotor type single phase switched reluctance motor is of simple and rigid structure, short shaft and simple driving circuit. Especially, the output power per unit volume of salient pole rotor structure is comparatively high because the magnetic fluxes of axial and radial direction are simultaneously used. Therefore, this motor will be used at small space and difficult maintenance situations. In this paper, the selecting method of proper pole arc, stator, and rotor dimension of salient pole rotor type single phase SRM is proposed.

This study was conducted to detect faults in a gearbox comprised of gears, bearings and shafts. The envelope analysis was used as a method of detection, which could detect breakage and pitting of gears and bearings, and misalignment of shafts effectively. Vibration measured at the increaser was analyzed to characterize the faults. When the increaser has a defect, peaks with a constant period appear in the time history of vibration and its harmonic components also in the envelope spectrum. The envelope analysis showed that a crack in the stepped output shaft caused the increaser to generate the abnormal peaks.

Applying more features gives us better accuracy in modeling; however, increasing the inputs causes the curse of dimensions. In this paper, a new structure has been proposed for fault detecting and identifying (FDI) of high-dimensional systems. This structure consist of two structure. The first part includes Auto-Encoders (AE) as Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) to produce feature engineering process and summarize the features. The second part consists of the Local Model Networks (LMNs) with LOcally LInear MOdel Tree (LOLIMOT) algorithm to model outputs (multiple models). The fault detection is based on these multiple models. Hence the residuals generated by comparing the system output and multiple models have been used to alarm the faults. To show the effectiveness of the proposed structure, it is tested on single-shaft industrial gas turbine prototype model. Finally, a brief comparison between the simulated results and several related works is presented and the well performance of the proposed structure has been illustrated.

The objective of this study is an understanding of the effect of inlet flow angle on the output power performance of a Francis hydraulic turbine, An optimum induced angle at the inlet of the turbine is one of the most important design parameters to have the best performance of the turbine at a given operating condition, In general. rotating speed of the turbine is varied with the change of water mass flowrate in a volute, The induced angle of the inlet water should be properly adjusted to the operating condition to have maximum energy conversion efficiency of the turbine, In this study. a numerical simulation was conducted to have detail understanding of the flow phenomenon in the flow path and output power of the model Francis turbine. The indicated power produced by the model turbine at a given operating condition was found numerically and compared to the brake power of the turbine measured by experiment at KIER. From comparison of two results, turbine efficiency or energy conversion efficiency of the model turbine was estimated. From the study, it was found that the rotating power of the turbine linearly increased with the rotating speed. It means that the higher volume flow rate supplied. the bigger torque on the turbine shaft generated. The maximum brake efficiency of the turbine is around 46$\%$ at 35 degree of induced angle. The difference between numerical and experimental output of the model turbine is defined as mechanical efficiency. The maximum mechanical efficiency of the turbine is around 93$\%$ at 25$\∼$30 degree of induced angle.
