This paper proposes a method of estimating the actuator faults of a hexacopter without using encoders when one or more of six actuators do not operate normally. In the case of the hexacopter, a Pseudo-Inverse matrix is generally used to obtain the rotational speed of the actuators because the matrix that transforms the rotational speed of the actuators into the thrust and torque of the body coordinate system is not a square matrix. However, the method based on the Pseudo-Inverse matrix cannot detect the actuator faults correctly because the Pseudo-Inverse matrix is approximate. In the proposed method, the actuator faults are estimated by modifying the transform matrix using the property that the actuators of the hexacopter are symmetrical. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method when faults occur in one or more of the six actuators.

An accurate tip position control of a single-link flexible manipulator subjected to torque disturbance is achieved by utilizing so called sliding mode controller with disturbance estimation (SMCDE). After formulating the governing equation of motion in the state 1pace representation, a stable sliding surface is designed via the LQR method. The SMCDE is then synthesized by integrating equivalent sliding mode controller with the disturbance estimator which is featured by an integrated average value of the imposed disturbance over a certain sampling period. The regulating tip motion of the flexible manipulator is evaluated by employing the proposed SMCDE.

In this paper, a novel method of sensorless control scheme is proposed to apply on a single phase hybrid SRM used in high speed operation. The proposed method utilizes beneficially permanent magnet field whose performance is motor parameter independent to estimate the rotor position. Also, the current slope is adopted to complete the sensorless control when the motor running with heavy torque at high speed condition. Through this approach, the adjustable turn on/off position can be achieved without prior knowledge of inductance profile which is always employed by many sensorless schemes. And this paper may offer an available method to do the sensorless control in hybrid SRM used for high speed running.

High performance laser printer requires high speed scanning motor, which can operate up to 40,000 rpm. However, development of high speed scanning motor has been restricted due to the practical problems such as use of high speed bearing, compact circuit design and high cost. In this study, we designed a high speed scanner motor for use on laser scanning unit and discussed some design principles including the reduction method of cogging torque of the motor, development of hemispherical aerodynamic bearing, windage loss estimation, and operating circuit design to reduce noise.

This paper combines the adaption of MRAS with the ability of NN for better modeling of nonlinear systen It presents an MRAS using an NN in the adaption mechanism. The technique is applied to a IPMSM drive. The torque constant and stator resistance variations on the speed and position estimations over a wide speed range has been studied. The NN estimators are able to track the varying parameter of different speeds with consistent performance. The validity of the proposed estimator is confirmed by the operating characteristics controlled by neural networks control.

In this paper, authors introduce an application of a nonlinear rotor flux observer, known under the name of ELO(extended Luenberger Observer), for direct rotor field oriented control(DRFOC) of induction motor. ELO requires no solution of nonlinear partial differential equation for its coordinate transformation and linearization used for the nonlinear observer design. Its simulation results concerned to different level of unknown variables of load torque and rotor resistance show high accuracy on rotor flux estimation in steady state.

다상 유도 전동기(Multi phase induction motor)의 고성능 제어를 수행하기 위해서는 정확한 파라미터 계산이 필수적이다. 특히 전동기의 벡터제어(FOC, Field oriented control)나 직접토크제어(DTC, Direct torque control)와 같은 고성능 제어 시스템의 경우, 슬립 계산이나 자속관측기 그리고 PI 제어기 게인 추정에서 전동기 상수들이 필수적으로 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 실험용으로 집중권(Concentrated winding) 구조를 가지는 2kW, 5상 유도전동기를 제작하였으며, 5상 유도전동기 파라미터 추정에 대한 방법을 제시하였다. 일반적으로 다상 유도전동기의 경우 1차 공간 고조파(1st space harmonic) 성분에 대한 파라미터만을 추정하여 제어에 사용하지만, 본 논문에서는 1차 공간 고조파 성분과 3차 공간 고조파(3rd space harmonic) 성분에 대한 파라미터 추정 방법을 제시한다. 결과적으로 제안된 파라미터 추정 방법의 타당성을 확인하기 위해서 설계값과 실험값을 비교하였다.

We proposed the above-knee prosthesis using rotary MR damper in which knee joint is semi-actively controlled by microprocessor. Dissipation torque in the knee joint can be controlled by the magnetic field which is induced by applying current to a solenoid, Tracking control of knee joint angle was tested by 3-DOF Leg simulator. The experimental results show that the proposed above-knee prosthesis system had good performance in swing phase tracking and repetitive controller in conjunction with a computed control law and PD control law, reduced RMS tracking error as the repetitions of tracking. Moreover, desired knee angle trajectory was generated based on the estimation of gait period with the gyro signal and the tracking control was performed.

Since Outerrace is one of the components of driving shaft for power train of automobile and transmits high torque, high strength and high toughness are necessary so forging process is adopted to manufacture such parts. Therefore, in order to improve strength and toughness, heat treatment is accomplished after plastic deformation(forging). Because Each component of driving shaft is mounted to automobile after a series of forging, machining and heat treatment, in order to evaluate mechanical properties of such components in use, plastic deformation and heat treatment must be considered. So, in this paper, tensile tests are performed with tensile specimens which have passed through a series of upsetting, machining and heat treatment to evaluate mechanical properties of such components.

The failures such as flaking, wear, crack and seizing caused by the high contact pressure accompanied with sliding motion between inner or outer ring and ball are potential failures of ball bearing. In this research, we have qualitatively selected the efficient test items through the analysis of the life and potential failures of ball bearing. The bearing's failures are related closely to the whole system in using the bearing. So, the bearing itself requires an estimation of life in order to opreate the system safely. We have tested ten ball bearings. Our research has applied both radial and axial direction force of maximum torque conditions simultaneously for the accelerated life testing. The result is established by employing the weibull plot and compared the predicted life of ball bearing to the experimental result.
