The construction of a Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) is simple and also highly economical because a stator from the existing AC motor can be used. Since the synchronous inductance in the Synchronous Reluctance Motor is an element that is proportional to torque, its exact value must be experimentally or analytically found for accurate control and performance development of the motor. In this paper, direct torque control (DTC) simulation is carried out to maximize the torque of the Synchronous Reluctance Motor and the fast response characteristics with the inductance value by the Finite Element Method (FEM). The response characteristics are compared through the proposed direct torque control and torque response characteristics that are based on the existing PI Control in order to confirm the fast response features. To test the performance of the direct torque controller, the torque response is analyzed with variable speed and load condition.

Rotating machinery often encounters excessive vibration due to various excitation sources. Among others, the synchronous excitation due to rotating unbalance and initial deformation is acknowledged to be one of the major sources of vibration in rotor-bearing systems. In this paper, a synchronous response analysis method in the presence of the initial deformation is proposed to investigate the peculiar effect of the initial deformation on the response of general flexible rotor-bearing systems with rotational speed dependency and the anisotropy. Experiments are performed and compared with computational results to verify the proposed analysis method. Two numerical examples are also provided to illustrate the characteristics of the synchronous response of general rotor-bearing systems due to the initial deformation.

Objective: This work aimed to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) combined with c-arm cone-beam CT guided synchronous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in treatment of large hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods: 21 patients with large HCC were studied from January 2010 to March 2012. TACE combined with synchronous C-arm cone-beam CT guided RFA were performed on a total of 25 lesions. Conventional imaging examination (CEUS, enhanced CT or MRI) and AFP detection were regularly conducted to evaluate the technical success rate of combined treatment, complications, treatment response, time without disease recurrence and survival rate. Results: The technical success rate of combined treatment was 100%, without any significant complication. After 1 month, there were 19 cases with complete response and 2 cases with partial response, with an complete response rate of 90.4% (19/21) and a clinical effective rate of 100% (21/21). The complete response rates of single nodular lesions (100%, 17/17) was significantly higher than that of multiple nodular lesions (50%, 2/4) (P<0. 05). During 2 to 28 months of follow-up, in 19 cases with complete response, the average time without disease recurrence was $10.8{\pm}6$ months. The total survival rates of 6, 12 and 18 months in 21 patients were 100%, respectively. Conclusion: TACE combined with synchronous C-arm CT guided RFA is safe and effective for treatment of large HCC. The treatment efficacy for single nodular lesion is better than that for multiple nodular lesions.

Reluctance torque is generated by the rotor of the rugged construction in Synchronous Reluctance Motor. Its construction is simple, and it is very economic because a rotor in existed AC motor can be used. As the Synchronous inductance in Synchronous Reluctance Motor is an element that is proportional to torque, the exact value must be experimentally or analytically found for controlling and the performance development of motors. In this paper, direct torque control simulation to maximize the torque of the Synchronous Reluctance Motor and fast response characteristics was carried out with the inductance value by the Finite Element Method. For the simulation results, there are torques and fluxs response characteristics when controlling speed.

This paper deals with optimum design criteria to minimize the torque ripple of a concentrated winding Synchronous Reluctance Motor(SynRM) using Response Surface Methodology(RSM). The feasibility of using RSM with the finite element method(FEM) in practical engineering problem is investigated with omputational examples and comparison between the fitted response and the results obtained from an analytical solution according to the design variables of stator and rotor in concentrated winding SynRM(6slot). The focus of this paper is the efficiency evaluation on the basis of load condition in a Concentrated Winding Synchronous Reluctance Motor and distributed Winding Synchronous Reluctance Motor.

In this paper synchronous whirl of bearing is employed as control algorithm of actively controlled hydrodynamic journal bearing to suppress the whirl instability and unbalance response of a rotor-bearing system. Also, the cavitation algorithm implementing the Jakobsson-Floberg-Olsson boundary condition is adopted to predict cavitation regions in the fluid film more accurately than conventional analysis which uses the Reynolds condition. The stability and unbalance responses of a rotor-bearing system are investigated for various control gain and phase difference between the bearing and journal motion. It is shown that the unbalance response of a rotor-bearing system can be greatly improved by synchronous whirl of the bearing, and there is an optimum phase difference, which gives the minimum unbalance response of the system, at given operating condition. It is also found that the speed at onset of instability can be greatly increased by synchronous whirl of the bearing.

In this study, a methodology of synchronous control which can be applied to position synchronization of a two-axes driving system has been developed. The synchronous error is caused by model uncertainties and torque disturbance of each axis. To overcome these problems, the proposed synchronous control system has been composed of two speed controllers, disturbance observers, and one synchronous controller. The speed controllers, based on the PID control law are aimed at the following to speed reference. And the parameters of speed controllers have been designed in order for the speed response fo the second axis to correspond with the one of the first axis. The disturbance observer has been designed to restrain the torque disturbance. The synchronous controller eliminates the synchronous error by controlling the speed of the second axis. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been verified through simulation.

This paper presented an optimum design of a perpendicular PMDSLSM (Permanent Magnet Double-sided Linear Synchronous Motor) to minimize the detent force. As an optimum method, the response surface method was used and 3D finite element method for the calculation. The design variables of the machine were the primary core width and thickness, and magnet width, thickness and length. Object functions were to minimize the detent force and maximize the thrust of the basic model. The results showed that the thrust force of the optimum design increased from 82.1N to 90.2N and detent force decreased from 15.2N to 2.8N, respectively, compared to the basic model.

In this study, the effect of load torque on the synchronous whirling of a rotor system has been studied analytically. Results show that the critical value of load torque to damping exists above which synchronous response decreases with increasing load torque. It has been also shown that the synchronous whirling amplitudes are more sensitive to the value of eccentricity and the ratio of disk radius to shaft length of the rotor system than other design parameters for a fixed value of load torque.
