The magnetic levitation system is utilized in the magnetic bearing of high-speed rotor system because of little friction, no lubrication, no noise and so on. The magnetic levitation system needs the feedback controller for the stabilization of system, and gap sensors are generally used to measure the gap. The use of sensor easily goes into troublesome caused by sensor failure discord between the measurement point and the control point etc. This paper gives a controller design method of magnetic levitation system which satisfies the given $H_{\infty}$ control performance and the robust stability of the presence of physical parameter perturbations. To the end, we investigated the validity of the designed controller through results of simulation.

DC Motors have been widely used in industry as driving power motors for electrical vehicles cranes and winches due to their strong starting torques and as servo-motors for position and speed control systems due to their convenience of speed control etc. Generally in the speed control systems of motors speed sensors are required and this fact results in he increased price and operating cost and in the limitted applications. This paper presents a new speed control method for sensorless DC motors. In this scheme the speed signal is estimatd by the measurement values of the armature voltage and current. A Fuzzy feedback controller instead of the conventional PID controller. Through simulations the effectiveness and usefullness of the proposed method are illustrated.

Aeroelastic response and control of airfoil-flap system exposed to sonic-boom, blast and gust loads in an incompressible subsonic flowfield are addressed. Analytical analysis and pertinent numerical simulations of the aeroelastic response of 3-DOF airfoil featuring plunging-pitching-flapping coupled motion subjected to gust and explosive pressures in terms of important characteristic parameters specifying configuration envelope are presented. The comparisons of uncontrolled aeroelastic response with controlled one of the wing obtained by feedback control methodology are supplied, which is implemented through the flap torque to suppress the flutter instability and enhance the subcritical aeroelastic response to time-dependent excitations.

Recent trend changes a criterion for evaluation of burner that environmental problem is raised as global issue. For efficient driving problem, the higher thermal efficiency and the lower oxygen in exhaust gas, burner is evaluated the better. For environmental problem, burner must satisfy $NO_{X}$ limit and CO limit. Consequently, 'good burner' means on whose thermal efficiency is high under the constraint of $NO_{X}$ and CO consistency. To make existing burner satisfy recent criterion, it is highly recommended to develop feedback control scheme whose output is the consistency of $NO_{X}$ and CO. This paper describes development of real time flame diagnosis technique that evaluate and diagnose combustion state such as consistency of components in exhaust gas, stability of flame in quantitative sense. This study focuses on wave length of luminescence from chemical reaction measurement of the luminescence via optical measuring apparatus and derive correlation with consistency of components in exhaust gas by image processing technique.

This paper concerns an articulated space robot with flexible links. The equations of its motion are derived by means of the Lagrangian mechanics. Assuming that magnitude of elastic motions are relatively small, the perturbation approach is taken to separate the original equations of motion into linear and nonlinear equations. Th effect the desired payload motion, open loop control inputs are first determined based on the nonlinear equations. One the other hand, in order to reduce the positional errors during the maneuver, vibration suppression is actively done with a feedforward control for disturbance cancellation to some extent. Additionally, for performance robustness against residual disturbance, an LQ control modified to have a prescribed degree of stability is applied based on the linear equations. Measurement equations are formulated to be used for the maximum likelihood estimator to reconstruct states from the original robot equations of motion. Finally, numerical simulations show effectiveness of the proposed control design scheme.

Combustion response function of a solid propellant is measured and calculated to study and model the feedback process between acoustic waves and combustion field. Standard Pulsed DB/AB method and related one-dimensional approximate analysis of T-burner are used to obtain the response function at a driving natural frequency. The problems related with simultaneous ignition of propellant samples are also mentioned and treated.

In this study, we collected data used to formulate the relationship between quantitative metrological parameters in CRT display and the perceived focus quality. Human perception of the focusing quality was evaluated in terms of user feedback scores regarding the character legibility from four highly trained inspectors. Thirteen CRT monitors from five different manufacturers were compared relatively with respect to the norm monitor. The profile of electron beam such as spot size and the shape of distribution made by electron beam, contrast, convergence of RGB beams, and luminance characteristics were measured using a precision measurement system. Linear regression analysis and artificial neural network models were used to formulate the relationship between human perception and the quantitative measurements. The accuracy of the formulated linear regression model ($R^2$=0.515) was not satisfactory but the nonlinear neural network model ($R^2$=0.716) was fairly convincing and robust even the utilized data included subjective differences.

This paper considers a speed control problem of DC motor under load variations. In order to reduce the effect of load variation, a disturbance observer has been designed for the given system. With a cheap encoder there exists considerable measurement noise in the velocity feedback and it should be reflected in designing the disturbance observer. The authors have obtained the nominal transfer function of a DC motor and designed a disturbance observer for the control purpose. With the disturbance observer a digital controller has been implemented using a DSP(TMS320F2812). Some experiments show the enhanced performance of the control system with the proposed method.

In the previous study, temperature monitoring of case about shrinkage fit process was performed and heat transfer model was developed in detail by feedback and tuning among monitoring result, process investigation, and analysis result. The gap element in contact between case and core was effectively used in analysis model. In present study, following things are performed to solve deformation of case due to shrinkage fit process on the basis of previous result. Above all, mechanical material properties of case are measured by case specimen for deformation analysis considering weldment of case. Deformation of case before and after shrinkage fit process is measured, too. Three dimensional deformation model is developed by the comparison and inspection between these experimental data and analysis results. Deformation analysis is simulated with the result of heat transfer analysis, in other words, non-coupled analysis is used. Finally the countermeasure for deformation is brought up through those.

To accurately extract absolute distance information from a self-mixing interferometry (SMI) signal, in this paper we propose an approach based on a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm instead of frequency estimation for absolute distance. The algorithm is utilized to search for the global minimum of the fitness function that is established from the self-mixing signal to find out the actual distance. A resolution superior to $25{\mu}m$ in the range from 3 to 20 cm is obtained by experimental measurement, and the results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach in comparison with interpolated FFT. The influence of different external feedback strength parameters and different inertia weights in the algorithm is discussed as well.
