Owing to the benefits of programmable and parallel processing of field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), they have been widely used for the realization of digital controllers and motor drive systems. Furthermore, they can be used to integrate several functions as an embedded system. In this paper, based on Matrix Laboratory (Matlab)/Simulink and the FPGA chip, we design and implement a stepper motor drive. Generally, motion control systems driven by a stepper motor can be in open-loop or closed-loop form, and pulse generators are used to generate a series of pulse commands, according to the desired acceleration/run/deceleration, in order to the drive system to rotate the motor. In this paper, the speed and position are designed in closed-loop control, and a vector control strategy is applied to the obtained rotor angle to regulate the phase current of the stepper motor to achieve the performance of operating it in low, medium, and high speed situations. The results of simulations and practical experiments based on the FPGA implemented control system are given to show the performances for wide range speed control.

Abstract Control of thermally induced bearing loads remains an important but unsolved problem for precision, high-speed, metal cutting, machining spindles. Spindle dynamic performance, as well as spindle life, depends on bearing loads. Because these loads can change drastically with a change in process conditions, poor spindle dynamic performance, and dramatically reduced bearing life can result. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the feasibility of controlling bearing loads by controlling the heat generated by a thermal actuator placed around the housing of the spindle. A mathematical model of the open loop response of a laboratory prototype spindle is developed and validated. The model is then used to evaluate the closed loop performance. The results show that closed loop control of the bearing load is achievable in steady state and under bandwidth limited transient conditions. The proposed system has reasonable command authority when additional heat is required, however, it is possible for the system to lose control when the heater is required to “provide” negative heat. This situation can be mitigated by proper choice of initial preload. As expected, measurement noise limits the control gain but is not a limiting factor. More open loop tests are suggested to validate the model under a broader set of conditions. In addition, closed loop validation is suggested. However, based on results obtained it appears bearing load control is achievable by controlling the thermal field around the spindle.

Drag reduction on airfoils using arrays of micro-actuators is one application of so-called Aero-MEMS. These microactuators interact with TS instabilities (Tollmien-Schlichting waves) inside a transitional boundary layer by superimposing artificially generated counterwaves in order to delay the transition process. These actuators need to exhibit a relatively large stroke at relatively high operational frequencies when operated at high Mach numbers. For this purpose, a novel micromachined mechanical amplification unit for increasing the stroke of piezoelectric microactuators up to high frequencies is proposed. The mechanical lever is provided by a sliced nickel titanium membrane. In this work, the actuator is explained in detail and wind tunnel experiments are carried out to investigate the effect of this mechanically amplified piezoelectric microactuator on thin transitional boundary layers. The experiments have been carried out in the transonic wind tunnel facility of the Berlin University of Technology on an unswept test wing with an NACA 0004 leading edge. The effectiveness of the actuator for flow control applications is determined in an open-loop setup consisting of one actuator having a relevant spanwise extension and a microstructured hot film sensor array located downstream. The aerodynamic results at Mach 0.33 are presented and discussed. It is shown that the actuator influences TS wave specific frequencies between 2.5 kHz and 7.4 kHz. The actuator amplitude is large enough to influence a transitional boundary layer significantly without bypassing the natural transition process which makes this type of micromachined actuator a candidate for high speed TS-control.

A three-stage, low speed axial research compressor has been actively stabilized by damping low amplitude circumferentially travelling waves which can grow into rotating stall. Using a circumferential array of hot wire sensors, and an array of high speed individually positioned control vanes as the actuator, the first and second spatial harmonics of the compressor were stabilized down to a characteristic slope of 0.9, yielding an 8% increase in operating flow range. Stabilization of the third spatial harmonic did not alter the stalling flow coefficient. The actuators were also used open loop to determine the forced response behavior of the compressor. A system identification procedure applied to the forced response data then yielded the compressor transfer function. The Moore-Greitzer, 2-D, stability model was modified as suggested by the measurements to include the effect of blade row time lags on the compressor dynamics. This modified Moore-Greitzer model was then used to predict both the open and closed loop dynamic response of the compressor. The model predictions agreed closely with the experimental results. In particular, the model predicted both the mass flow at stall without control and the design parameters needed by, and the range extension realized from, active control.
