In order to eliminate TPM(Total Particulate Matter) from a diesel engine, we designed and developed a particulate trap system using a burner, which was named as AEFR(Active Exhaust Feeding Regeneration) system. We have considered the temperature distributions and gradients in the filter being regenerated according to regeneration control schemes Ⅰ, Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Schemes Ⅲ has shown the most desirable peak temperature and temperature gradients in AFER system. Finally, it was concluded that much lower peak temperature and temperature gradients in the filter could be obtained than that of other advanced research results by our AEFR system.

Cogging torque is often a principal source of vibration and control difficulty in permanent magnet motors, especially at low speeds and loads. For example, reduction of cogging torque is an important specification for DC motors used for electric power stee- ring. This paper examines two motor design techniques, stator tooth notching and rotor pole skewing with magnet pole shaping, for reduction of cogging torque, and the effect of each method on the airgap flux, and the use of the Maxwell stress method and Fourier decomposition to calculate the periodic cogging torque. The analyses show that the cogging torque can be nearly eliminated by the suggested designs, with minimal scacrifice of output torque.

The rattle noise is the most significant in many kinds of manual gearbox nioses, which is generated at the idle stage of the engine operation. The main torsional vibrat- ion source of the driveline is the fluctuation of the engine torque. The gear rattle is impacts generating in the backlash of the free gear due to this torsional vibration. Many researchers reported the clutch torsional characteristic optimization method to reduce the idle gear rattle but only few of them give sufficient consideration to the system parameters like gear backlash, drag torque, system inertia, inertia distribution, engine torque fluctuation, idle engine rotation speed, and accessory load. In this paper, influence rate of system parameters on the gear rattle is presented and counterplans like backlash reduction, drag torque increase, inertia addition, inertia distribution modification and engine torque characteristic control are suggested.

According to the stringent exhaust emission regulation control of air fuel ratio is one of the most important issues on gasoline engine. Although many researches have been carried out to identify the fuel transport phenomena in a port fueled gasoline engine, complexity of fuel film behavior in the intake port makes it difficult. The fuel film behavior was investigated recently by using visualization method and these gave us qualitative understanding. In this paper, the quantitative measurement method for the port fuel film is studied by using Fast Response Flame Ionization Detector(FRFID). The mass of fuel film on the port wall was measured by using the methods of fuel injection off, injection on and regression. The Fuel film mass was increased with incresing load at the same engine speed.

In this study, a cycle simulation program of a Unit-Injection(UI) system was developed to estimate the injection performance of newly designed injection system. A fundamental theory of the simulation program is based on the conservation law of mass. Loss of fuel mass in the system due to leakage, compressibility effect of the liquid fuel and friction loss in the control volume was considered in the algorithm f the program. For the evaluation of the simulation program developed, the experimental result which was offered by the Technical Research Center of Doowon Precision Industry Co. was incorporated. Two main parameters; the maximum pressure in the plunger chamber and total fuel mass(kg) injected into the engine cylinder per cycle, were measured and compared with the simulation results. It was found that the maximum error rate of the simulation result to the experimental output was less than 3% in the rated rotational speed (rpm) range of the plunger cam.

This work verifies the chaotic motion of a steer-by-wire vehicle dynamic system, and then elucidates an application of dither smoothing to control the chaos of a vehicle model. The largest Lyapunov exponent is estimated from the synchronization to identify periodic and chaotic motions. Then, a bifurcation diagram reveals complex nonlinear behaviors over a range of parameter values. Finally, a method for controlling a chaotic vehicle dynamic system is proposed. This method involves applying another external input, called a dither signal, to the system. The designed controller is demonstrated to work quite well for nonlinear systems in achieving robust stability and protecting the vehicle from slip or spin. Some simulation results are presented to establish the feasibility of the proposed method.

Performance of DI diesel engine with high fuel injection method is directly related to its emission characteristics and fuel consumption. In this study, numerical model of 3rd generation piezo-driven injector was designed to analyze the hydraulic performance. Also the injection response characteristics was investigated by using the AMESim simulation code. From this study, it was shown that 3rd generation piezo-driven injector had a faster response and had better control capability due to its hydraulic bypass-circuit that has potential to higher hydraulic characteristics and improved accuracy of injected fuel quantity.

This paper presents the effects of design and operating parameters to meet the static and dynamic performances of the electro-mechanical valve(EMV) actuator which can provide more flexible controllability of valve events compared to conventional variable valve actuation devices. The model of the EMV system was also set up and applied to identify the dynamic behavior of the system. And the effects of external disturbances were also investigated such as cylinder pressure, armature neutral position and current supplying time effects and so on. Experiments were carried out to verify the model using the prototype actuator on test bench, it was found that there is a relatively good agreement between experimental data and modeling results. Also, the actuators meet the general engine speed range (over 6000rpm) and the variable valve event control for various VVT effects.

It is a present situation that the control on automobile emission is getting more restrictive and also the regulations for emission are changing greatly up to level of those advanced foreign countries. Specially, it has been many years that exhaust gases from gasoline automobile rather than from diesel is the major object concerned by Korea and other countries, and it is strongly required on the reduction techniques on harmful NOx and PM among those compositions. Thus, this research focused on the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) and the target for this research is heavy-duty turbo-diesel engine with Cooled EGR. Furthermore, this research has been made efforts to accomplish the regulation on emission for heavy duty diesel engine.

The quality and productivity in machining automobile parts are influenced by various factors such as cutting conditions, vibration, and used tool. To improve the quality and productivity of the automobile parts(torsion beam), lots of research on the evaluation of tool life and control of surface roughness has been required. Therefore, the width of flank wear, cutting force, and surface roughness are monitored to analyse the characteristics of tool wear and surface roughness at different tools. This experimental investigation is mainly focused on the characteristics of the tool wear, tool life and surface roughness in multi-insert milling of automobile parts(torsion beam) by using uncoated tungsten carbide tool(WC), TiN coated tool, and cermet tool.
