abstract: a continuously variable transmission (cvt) is a transmission which may change step less by way of an infinite variety of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values. this contrasts with different mechanical transmissions that solely permit just a few different distinct gear ratios to be selected. continuously variable transmissions (cvts) are mechanical devices that allow...

Two methods for estimating the mechanical parameters of a rotating drive system that can be treated as a resonant 3-inertia system, are proposed. The accuracy of the estimation results is sufficient in order to design a state controller, which damps both resonances actively. Synopsis The mechanics of rotating drive systems normally consist of several inertias, which are joined together by elast...

In the article, mechanical and electromechanical starting characteristics of an asynchronous electric drive a two-piston ship compressor are investigated by numerical method. A distinctive feature operation reciprocating is that its load torque changes with certain frequency. The dependence on shaft piston angle rotation presented in form Fourier series. Moments inertia reduced to single system...

The electro-mechanical (E/M) impedance method for structural health monitoring, damage detection and failure prevention is a new technology utilizing the emitter-detector properties of active material sensors and the structural drive point mechanical impedance. In previous work, the authors showed that changes in the drive point mechanical impedance of a structure or machinery can be sensed in ...

The first part of paper describes step by step installation of Switched Reluctance Motor & its drive. A special procedure for installation (Mechanical as well as Electrical) is developed in 1 / 4

this paper develops new results on the use of model predictive control to regulate the attitude of a ground station antenna. two degree of freedom az-el pedestal is considered as ground station antenna. permanent magnet synchronous motors are taken into consideration as the best choice for satisfaction of control objectives as actuators. the design is based on a two cascade controller consist o...

The UQ RoboRoos have been developed to participate in the RoboCup robot soccer small size league over several years. RoboCup 2001 saw a focus on the mechanical design of the RoboRoos, with the introduction of an omni-directional drive system and a high power kicker. The change in mechanical design had implications for the rest of the system particularly navigation and multi-robot planning. In a...

For a p ractical direct torque controlled (DTC) permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive system, the information of the initial rotor position, which is usually obtained by a mechanical position sensor, is essential for starting under the full load. In order to avoid the disadvantages of using mechanical position sensors, great efforts have been made on the development of sensorless cont...

In this paper, using a personal computer (PC), the practical implementation of scalar and vector control methods on a three–phase rotor surface- type permanent magnet synchronous machine drive is discussed. Based on the machine dynamic equations and the above control strategies, two block diagrams are presented first for closed-loop speed controlling of the machine drive/system. Then, the desig...
