In this paper, a pressure control type ratio control valve(RCV) is designed for a metal belt CVT. Steady state and transient characteristics of the pressure control CVT are investigated by simulations and experiments. In addition, P-line is proposed to predict the shift performance. It is found that the bigger the pressure margin, the faster the shift response. It is expected that the P-line can be used in design of the RCV to meet the desired shift performance.

Most of feedback shift controllers developed in the past have fixed control parameters tuned by experts using a trial and error method. Therefore, those controllers cannot satisfy the best control performance under various driving conditions. To improve the shift quality under various driving conditions, a new self-organizing controller(SOC) that has an optimal control performance through self-learning of driving conditions and driver's pattern is designed in this study. The proposed SOC algorithm for the shift controller uses simple descent method and has less calculation time than complex fuzzy relation, thus makes real-time control passible. PCSV (Pressure Control Solenoid Valve) control current is used as a control input, and turbine speed of the torque converter is used indirectly to monitor the transient torque as a feedback signal, which is more convenient to use and economic than the torque signal measured directoly by a torque sensor. The results of computer simulations show that an apparent reduction of shift-transient torque is obtained through the process of each run without initial fuzzy rules and a good control performance in the shift-transient torque is also obtained.

Shift quality of an automatic transmission in a vehicle is mainly affected by transient pressures in the hydraulic system during shifting. In this study, dynamic modelings of the hydraulic system and the power train of an automatic transmission are made systematically by a bond-graph method. The dynamic characteristics of the line pressures and clutch/brake pressures during shiftings are investigated by simulations and verified by experiments. The effects of clutch/brake pressures on the shift torque are also investigated through driving simulation.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of design parameters of modulating valve and hydraulic clutch on the shift quality of a power shuttle transmission using a computer simulation. Computer simulation models of a hydraulic control system and a power shuttle drive train were developed and verified by an experimental power train in a laboratory. The software EASY5 was used for the modeling and simulation of the power shuttle transmission. Results of the study were summarized as follows: For a good shift quality. it is required to reduce the transient torque transmitted to the output shaft of the transmission as much as possible. This may be achieved by reducing the modulating time and clutch pressure. It was found that the design parameters most significantly affecting the modulating time and clutch pressure were the spring constant and displacement of a load piston of the modulating valve, and the spring constant and damping of the clutch piston. The modulating time decreased as the spring constant increased and increased as the displacement of the load piston decreased. The transient torque decreased as the modulating time increased. However their relationships were not always linear. As the damping decreased, both the modulating pressure and time decreased, which also resulted in a decrease in the transient torque. The spring constant of the clutch piston affected the modulating time and the peak transient torque. As the spring constant of the clutch increased, the peak transient torque decreased.

The lockup clutch is embeded on torque converter of automatic transmission to prevent the efficiency deterioration of torque converter in high speed. For improving fuel consumption rate, it is desirable to engage the lockup clutch earlier. But, it results in degrading shift quality, due to the transient torque. The transient clutch pressure which affects the shifting quality, should be controlled properly. In this study, to solve the problem, it is analysed the hydraulic circuit of lockup system including line pressure regulating circuit, established the nonlinear model, and designed the PID controller. The line pressure is supplied to the lockup clutch through the lockup control valve by switching the lockup solenoid valve on. In order to control the transient pressure actively, it is needed to control the lockup solenoid valve by closed loop control. The lockup solenoid valve is 2-way on-off valve, and is adequate for PWM control. To reduce the pressure chattering, the carrier frequency is increased. Target pressure profile is computed from optimized velocity difference profile throuth dynamic equation of vehicle system.

Hydraulic power shifting systems of hydraulic travel motor may be far safer than mechanical power transmission systems. Thus, hydraulic power shifting systems are widely used for speed control on the hydraulic equipments. In the case of liquid shifting lines, the rapid change of area, such as valve closing, can result in a large pressure transient. It is necessary to assure proper control method in order to obtain the smallest shift shock. This study conducts the shock characteristics of hydraulic power shifting system of the hydraulic travel motor. Experimental results show that shock pressure depends on the operating pressure, flow rate and pipe line area. The shock characteristics can be applied for reducing shocks.

In this paper, the belt-pulley mechanical loss is investigated. A bondgraph model for the mechanical loss is developed from the viewpoint of the power flow by assuming that all power losses are attributed to the torque loss. The mechanical loss model consists of transient and steady state part. The coefficients of the power loss model are obtained from the experiments. It is found from the simulations and experiments that the steady state loss depends on the line pressure, input torque and rotational speed while the transient loss depends on the rotational speed, shift speed and the inertial torque.

The radiation driven response function (R$\_$q/) for AP and HMX propellant was obtained and compared with experimental results by using a simple $\alpha$$\beta$γ flame model rather than with detailed chemistry. For an AP propellant, the profile of heat release was assumed by the experimental data. The calculated R$\_$q/ shows a frequency shift of the peak amplitude to the higher frequency and a decrease in the maximum amplitude as radiation increases. In addition, it was found the increase in the total flux could enhance the mean burning rate γ$\_$b/ while the phase differences between the radiation and resulting conduction could consequently reduce the fluctuating amplitude Δγ$\_$b/. Fortunately, this is the qualitative duplication of the behavior recently observed in the experiments of RDX propellants. For HMX, the response function R$\_$q/ has been calculated and showed a quite good agreement with the experimental data. Even though the fairly good agreement of R$\_$q/ with experimental ones, the unsteady behavior of HMX was not reproduced as the radiation input increased. This is due to lack of the material properties of HMX or the physical understanding of HMX burning at high pressure.

Mathematical models for various steps in coal gasification reactions were developed and applied to investigate the effects of operation parameters on dynamic behavior of gasification process. Chemical reactions considered in these models were pyrolysis, volatile combustion, water shift reaction, steam-methane reformation, and char gasification. Kinetics of heterogeneous reactions between char and gaseous agents was based on Random pore model. Momentum balance and Stokes' law were used to estimate the residence time of solid particles (char) in an up-flow reactor. The effects of operation parameters on syngas composition, reaction temperature, carbon conversion were verified. Parameters considered here for this purpose were $O_2$-to-coal mass ratio, pressure of reactor, composition of coal, diameter of char particle. On the basis of these parametric studies some quantitative parameter-response relationships were established from both dynamic and steady-state point of view. Without depending on steady state approximation, the present model can describe both transient and long-time limit behavior of the gasification system and accordingly serve as a proto-type dynamic simulator of coal gasification process. Incorporation of heat transfer through heterogenous boundaries, slag formation and steam generation is under progress and additional refinement of mathematical models to reflect the actual design of commercial gasifiers will be made in the near futureK.
