Steering system is an important man-machine interface, for which transmits driver's lateral control intention to the vehicle. In order to improve the vehicle lateral stability, a double closed-loop control scheme of yaw rate for active front steering system was proposed in this paper. To investigate the control effects of the double closed-loop control scheme of yaw rate, a two degree-of-freedo...

In this paper, a novel controller for brushless DC (BLDC) motor has been presented.

The performance of the motor with proposed ANFIS controller is analyzed and compared with classical Proportional Integral (PI)...

During the past five years, cogging torque in HDD spindle motors has decreased drastically as designers and manufacturers have developed a better understanding of the cogging phenomenon. This paper examines various methodologies of cogging torque reduction. Timing techniques such as dead zones and tooth notching, smoothing techniques such as sinusoidal magnetization, and geometric techniques su...

For the past two decades, Brushless DC motor has become more efficient and robust motor in industrial applications due to their simplicity in structure, reliability, good mechanical properties. The absence of brushes features these motors similar to AC motors whereas their speed performance is nearly equal to that of the DC motors. Thus the combined advantages of AC and DC motors make these mot...

This paper uses a new position sensor less drive for brushless DC (BLDC) motors. In conventional sensor less control methods such as the back-EMF detection method, the performance is high only at a high speed range due to the fact that the magnitude of the back-EMF is dependent on the rotor speed. A solution is derived that estimates the rotor position by using an unknown input observer over a ...

This paper presents a fuzzy logic controller for brushless direct current (BLDC) permanent magnet motor drives. Initially a fuzzy logic controller is developed using MATLAB Fuzzy-Logic Toolbox and then inserted into the Simulink model. The dynamic characteristics of the brushless DC motor such as speed, torque, current and voltage of the inverter components are observed and analyzed using the d...

This paper presents a power factor correction (PFC) based canonical switching cell (CSC) converter-fed brushless dc motor (BLDCM) drive for low-power household applications. The speed of BLDCM is controlled by varying the dc-bus voltage of voltage source inverter (VSI). The BLDCM is electronically commutated for reduced switching losses in VSI due to low-frequency switching. A front-end CSC con...

The faulty performance of permanent-magnet (PM) brushless dc motor drives is studied under one and simultaneous two open-switches faults conditions. This DC motor is supplied with a three phase two level six IGBT voltage source inverter. The three phases currents mean values of the DC motor are used as diagnostic indices. A knowledge algorithm is based to get information on which IGBT is in ope...
