This paper describes the effect of ultrasonic frequency(f) on the atomization and deformation characteristics of single water droplet in an acoustic levitation field. To achieve this, the ultrasonic levitator that can control sound pressure and velocity amplitude by changing frequency was installed, and visualization of single water droplet was conducted with high resolution ICCD and CCD camera. At the same time, atomization and deformation characteristics of single water droplet was studied in terms of normalized droplet diameter($d/d_0$), droplet diameter(d) variation and droplet volume(V) variation under different ultrasonic frequency(f) conditions. It was revealed that increase of ultrasonic frequency reduces the droplet diameter. Therefore, it is able to levitate with low sound pressure level. It also induces the wide oscillation range, large diameter and volume variation of water droplet. In conclusion, the increase of ultrasonic frequency(f) can enhance the atomization performance of single water droplet.

In the semiconductor and optical industry. a new transport system which can replace the conventional transport system is required. The Transport systems are driven by the magnetic field and conveyer belts. The magnetic field may damage semiconductor and the contact force may scratch the optical lens. The ultrasonic wave driven system can solve these problems. In this semiconductor and optical industry, the non-contact system is required for reducing the damages. The ultrasonic transportation is the solution of the problem. In this paper, the ultrasonic levitation system for levitation object are proposed. The 3D vibration profiles of the beam are measured by Laser Scanning Vibrometer for verifying the vibration characteristics of the system and the amplitudes of the beam and the levitation heights of object are measured fore evaluating the performance.

Due to the characteristics of the vehicle structure, the magnetic levitation train has a confined bottom space thus a study on miniaturization and weight reduction of auxiliary power unit is essential. This auxiliary power unit is an essential device used for illumination, air conditioning, heating and air brake equipment excluding the motor. The previous auxiliary power unit for magnetic levitation train has used the hard switching having a high switching frequency with heavy loss in order to reduce the size of filter reactor and transformer but the reduction in volume was not significant. In this paper, by reducing the loss, reducing the size of the cooling unit and by increasing the switching frequency using the soft switching of resonant converter, it has miniaturized and reduced the weight of filter reactor and transformer which occupy significant space in the auxiliary power unit. This study has verified the performance of 50KVA grade prototype through simulated interpretation and analysis, and compared the size and weight of auxiliary power unit of the previous magnetic levitation train.

In this study a general Galerkin FE lubrication analysis method was utilized to analyze the complex lubrication performance of a spiral groove seal having an additional inner circular groove, which was designed for a chemical process mixer operating at a low speed of the maximum 500 rpm. Equilibrium seal clearance analyses under varying outer pressure revealed that the seal maintains a certain levitation seal clearance under the outer pressure of more than about 1.5 bar, regardless of a rotating speed. Also, under the normal outer pressure of 11 bar, the axial stiffness of the seal was predicted to have a high value of more than 7.0 e + 07 N/m, regardless of a rotating speed and thereby, the seal is expected to maintain a stable thickness of lubrication film under a certain external excitation acting. A seal levitation test rig was designed and constructed. Experimental results at 500 rpm agreed well with analytical predictions and the applied lubrication analysis method was verified.

In the present study, a feasibility study on an innovative satellite attitude control actuator is performed. The actuator is specially designed to generate the reaction torque in an arbitrary axis, so that a satellite attitude can be controlled by using itself. It consists of a spherical flywheel and electromagnets for levitation and rotation control of the ball. As the earlier study, a rotating performance test on the spherical actuator is conducted in a single rotating axis and vertical levitation condition. From the test results, it can be confirmed that the maximum speed and torque of the innovative device are 7,200rpm and 0.7Nm, respectively. Using torque-voltage characteristics of the spherical motor, an open-loop control (V/f constant control) is performed, and the test results show excellent control performance in acceleration and deceleration phases.

To investigate various running performances of the magnetic levitation train systematically, the performance evaluation system based on Modeling & Simulation(M&S) technology is demanded essentially When the VR(virtual reality) techniques are involved, we can not only evaluate the M&S results more effectively and realistically, but also make optimum engineering decision. At the viewpoint of visualization of core engineering data like the train's running performance, there are no many cases of study which provide optimum decision information with the maximized reality and immersion environments through computer user interactions. In this study, the running performance simulation system which provides the VR based 3-dimensional visual information from the M&S results is being developed.

In this paper, the improvement of control performance for a magnetic levitation system is presented. The model of a single-magnet system with rail is derived. As a conventional controller, PID controller is designed and implemented. This controller has a narrow stability margin due to low-order controller structure so that it cause unstability for a flexible rail. So to improve the control performance and stability margin, a robust controller as a new controller is designed and implemented using a VME-based digital controller. As a result, the controller performance of the new designed controller is better than that of the conventional controller.

본 논문에서는 시간영역 및 주파수영역 성능지수와 클론 선택기반 유전자 알고리즘을 이용한 자기부상 RGV(Rail-Guided Vehicle)의 최적 PID 제어기 설계 기법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 RGV에 적용되는 흡인식 자기부상시스템은 시스템 자체의 불안정성을 내포하고 있으며, 오버슈트 및 정착시간을 고려한 설계가 요구되기 때문에 기존의 성능지수함수로는 원하는 성능을 얻기에 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 PID 제어기 설계에 사용되는 성능지수함수를 분석하고, 자기부상 RGV에 적합한 시간영역 및 주파수영역 성능을 고려한 새로운 성능지수 함수를 제안하였다. 또한, 클론선택 최적화기법을 적용하여 성능이 향상된 클론 선택기반 유전자 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 최적화 알고리즘과 성능지수함수의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 단순 유전자 알고리즘과 기존의 군집 최적화 기법인 PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization)를 이용하여 비교 시뮬레이션을 하였다. 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 최적화 기법들에 비해 자기부상 RGV의 최적 제어기 설계에 더 효과적임을 시뮬레이션을 통해 보였다.

In this paper we propose a controller which has the capability of disturbance measurement calibration for Cds array sensors in a magnetic levitation system. Steady state error due to environment light condition or external disturbance is corrected constantly. The correction is made by the sensors to measure the ball position of the system without additional deployment of sensors.
