This paper presents a modified PI control algorithm using pole placement for DC-to-DC converter of a magnetic levitation system(MAGLEV). The gains of the control algorithm were selected based on pole locations formulated from a prototype Bessel transfer function model. The design incorporate tradeoffs in DC-to-DC converter hardware parameters and pole locations. In order to confirm the superiority of the proposed pole selection and controller, simulation and experiment results are presented.

근래에 DSP설계기술은 하루가 다르게 성장 해가고 있다. 기존에 많은 양의 소수점 연산이 필요한 기기에 자주 사용되어왔던 TMS320C3x DSP시리즈는 소수점연산에는 유리하지만 DSP를 사용하기 위해 외부메모리 및 A/D컨버터, PWM제너레이터, 엔코더 카운팅 회로 등 주변회로를 설계하는데 많은 시간과 비용이 소비되었다. TMS320LF2407은 기존에 사용하던 복잡한 주변회로가 모두 하나의 컨트롤러에 내장되어 있어 사용하기가 편리하며 고속의 연산능력이 있다. 본 논문에서는 자기부상시스템을 모델링하고 이산시간에서 처리 가능한 다이나믹필터와 상태궤환제어기를 설계한 뒤 DSP를 이용한 부상실험셋트를 구성하여 실험을 통해 DSP의 효용성을 검증하고자 한다.

콤플라이언스는 인간의 촉감에 관계된 주요한 기계적 성질중의 하나이다. 물체의 콤플라이언스가 효과적으로 제시되는 경우 인간에게 보다 현실적인 물체의 가상촉감을 제공할 수 있을 것이다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 마찰을 최소화하기 위하여 자력 부공을 이용한 오직 수직방향으로 콤플라이언스를 재현할 수 있는 콤플라이언스 에뮬레이터 시스템을 구현하였다. 구현된 시스템은 아날로그 LVDT 센서를 위치센서로 활용하며 주어진 콤플라이언스를 재현하기 위하여 중력보완을 포함한 간단한 PD 제어기법을 활용하였다. 시스템에 의해 재현된 콤플라이언스의 범위는 제한됨을 보였는데 이를 보완하기 위하여 다양한 크기의 강성을 가지는 스프링을 시스템에 추가로 부착하는 방법을 활용하였으며 이러한 방법의 적합성을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

This paper presents the design for improving performance of the high-precision Magnetic levitation system. Motor performance on various design schemes such as thickness and magnetizing patterns of the permanent magnets, pole pitch, length of air gap, turn number of windings, and thickness of the aluminum-core has been investigated in detail by using FEM(Finite Element Method) Simulation-based DOE(Design of Experiments) method is also applied in order to reduce the large number of analysis according to each design variable and consider the effect among variables. The design in all aspects is proposed by an optimization algorithm using regression equation derived from the simulation-based DOE.

In the transverse flux linear induction motor(TFLIM) with the general secondary composed of conductor and back-yoke, there exists a magnetized force into the normal direction or the air-gap direction of the thrust motion as well as the thrust force. Therefore, the various methodologies have been tried to use the normal force by the two independent control variables of the multi-phase input. But, as the force depends inevitably and strongly on the thrust force, it is essential to decouple both forces for two control index. In this paper, we suggest a novel approach capable of compensating the couple between both forces and the control index by using the DC-biased multi-phase input, and then realizing the independent control of TFLIM.

Emergency tracks are necessary in case a broken down train evacuates, a train needs to make way for a faster train behind it, or a train suddenly stops and following trains must avoid colliding with it. Magnetic Levitated (maglev) Trains can change track to enter an emergency track using a segmented switch or a traverse switch. On a traverse switch, a train can change its track when the part of the track that the train is on moves to the other track. Currently manufactured Maglev trains have two bodies and the total length is 25 meters. If a traverse switch is used, it will only require 30 meters of track to move the train to the other track, so, when it comes to efficiency of costs and space, the traverse switch surpasses the articulated switch. Therefore, in this paper, an optimized design to secure structural safety and weight lightening is suggested. To achieve these results, the heights of the piled concrete and girders which are both placed on the top of the traverse switch, are set as design variables. The Finite Element Method (FEM), in application of kriging and in the design of the experiments (DOE), is used. Maximum stress, deformation, and structural weight are compared with the results, and through this process structural safety and weight lightening is proven.

When a radial wheel is placed so as to partially overlap a conductive plate and rotated, a lift force is generated on the wheel, a thrust force along the edge, and a lateral force which tends to reduce the overlap region. When several of these wheels are combined, it is possible to realize a system in which the stability of the remaining axes is ensured, except in the traveling direction. To validate the overall characteristics of the multi-wheel system, we propose a transfer system levitated magnetically using radial electrodynamic wheels. The proposed system is floated and propelled by four wheels and arranged in a structure that allows the thrusts generated by the front and rear wheels to offset each other. The dynamic stability of the wheel and the effect of the pole number on the three-axial forces are analyzed by the finite element method. At this time, the thrust and levitation force are strongly coupled, and the only factor affecting them is the wheel rotation speed. Therefore, in order to control these two forces independently, we make use of the fact that the ratio of the thrust to the levitation force is proportional to the velocity and is independent of the size of the gap. The in-plane and out-of-plane motion control of the system is achieved by this control method and compared with the simulation results. The experimental results show that the coupled degrees of freedom can be effectively controlled by the wheel speed alone.

Large single grain $Gd_{1.5}Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Gd1.5) bulk superconductors were fabricated by a top-seeded melt growth (TSMG) process using an $NdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ seed. The seeded Gd1.5 powder compacts with a diameter of 50 mm were subjected to the heating cycles of a TSMG process. After the TSMG process, the diameter of the single grain Gd1.5 compact was reduced to 43 mm owing to the volume contraction during the heat treatment. The superconducting transition temperature ($T_c$) of the top surface of the single grain Gd1.5 sample was as high as 93.5 K. The critical current densities ($J_cs$) at 77 K and 1T and 1.5 T were in ranges of 25,200-43,900 $A/cm^2$ and 10,000-23,000 $A/cm^2$, respectively. The maximum attractive force at 77 K of the sample field-cooled using an Nd-B-Fe permanent magnet (surface magnetic field of 0. 527 T) was 108.3 N; the maximum repulsive force of the zero field-cooled sample was 262 N. The magnetic flux density of the sample field-cooled at 77 K was 0.311T, which is approximately 85% of the applied magnetic field of 0.375 T. Microstructure investigation showed that many $Gd_2BaCuO_5$ (Gd211) particles of a few ${\mu}m$ in size, which are flux pinning sites of Gd123, were trapped within the $GdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Gd123) grain; unreacted $Ba_3Cu_5O_8$ liquid and Gd211 particles were present near the edge regions of the single grain Gd1.5 bulk compact.
