As switched reluctance machines (SRM) generally offer a simple and robust design, they are very suitable for electromechanical actuation systems which need to be actuated by fault tolerant drives. This paper investigates dual-channel, dual-redundancy, lacking phase schemes of SRM guaranteeing fault tolerance and the corresponding control systems in detail are compared to point out the advantages and disadvantages of them., a new lacking phase scheme for 12/8 SRM is proposed and the finite element model based on field-circuit coupling is established, results indicate that this scheme have superior fault tolerant performance and suit tasks in electro-mechanical actuation system of aerospace environments.

Improved electrical power generation and actuation systems offer new design approaches for performing the engine control and accessory functions in helicopter propulsion systems. Present helicopter technology utilizes turboshaft engines with mechanically driven accessories. These accessories perform the functions of starting, fuel and lube pumping, variable stator actuation, and inlet particle separation. This paper discusses the applicability of replacing the mechanically driven accessories with their electrically driven counterparts. An electric accessory system is defined, which includes a switched reluctance starter/generator and its associated control unit; an electric pumping and actuation system; and the engine mounting for the starter/generator. A comparison between the mechanically and electrically driven accessory systems is performed on the basis of cost, weight, and reliability. Experience to date with switched reluctance machines and electrically driven turbo shaft accessory systems is summarized. The benefits of electrically driven accessories are shown and recommendations for future activity for his important technology are discussed.

Increasing performance in modern hydraulics is achieved by a close investigation of possible enhancements of its components. Prior research has pointed out that electromechanical actuators can form suitable alternatives to hydraulically piloted control systems. Since the requirements at these actuation systems depend on the operating conditions of the system, each actuator can be optimized to the respective hydraulic system. Considering that many different conceptual designs are suitable, the phase of conceptual design plays a decisive role during the design process. Therefore, this paper focuses on the process of developing new conceptual designs for electromechanical valve actuation systems using the method of function structures. Aiming to identify special design features, which need to be considered during the design process of electromechanical actuation systems, an exemplary actuator was designed based on the derived function structure. To highlight the potential of function structures for the development of new electromechanical valve actuation systems, two principal concepts, which allow the reduction of the necessary forces, have been developed by extending the function structure. These concepts have been experimentally investigated to identify their advantages and disadvantages.

Mechanical Actuation

Tracking the path of development in different Engineering disciplines, it can be easily observed that, right from the primitive stage, several tools, devices, and techniques may be identified, which happened by virtue of the evolution of human intelligence, getting transformed into various engineering applications. Although, later different engineering disciplines evolved, where most of the exhaustive development could be undertaken in that discipline. Likewise, in the field of mechanical engineering to various types of mechanical systems, according to the requirement in that field, were developed, in order to provide support of mechanization. Prime movers used to be an important part of these mechanical systems, which provided energy input as well as actuation required for providing the machines the desired kinematics. Most of the mechanical systems developed has been operated by conventional engine system using one or other fuel. Apart from the actuation by mechanical means, there are other means also through which mechanical actuation with better control, flexibility, and manipulation may be utilized in mechanical systems. A different category of systems, called Mechatronic systems has been developed in the recent past, which involves the vivid scope of use of techniques, devices, and components generally used in various other engineering fields of electrical, electronics, hydraulics, and pneumatics, etc. Subsequently, there have been several inventions, design & development which have added new levels in every field. Mechanical systems have been generally composed of various mechanical elements, which are designed to follow certain kinematics. The performance of the Actuation system plays an important role in the overall performance of the mechanical systems. There are several alternative actuation systems, which are not mechanical. These actuation systems may be categorized into electrical, electronics, hydraulic and pneumatic types. The features of these actuation systems, are so peculiar, that typical kinematic movement may be manipulated that too with more precision. Better control of mechanical systems may be realized, which is otherwise difficult with mechanical systems. In this paper, an effort has been made to review the possibilities, prospects as well as scope with various actuation systems.

Two Machines

This article presents the results of a comparative analysis of two electronically commutated brushless direct current machines intended for fault-tolerant drives. Two machines designed by the authors were compared: a 12/14 dual-channel brushless direct current motor (DCBLDCM) with permanent magnets and a 12/8 dual-channel switched reluctance motor (DCSRM). Information is provided here on the winding configuration, the parameters, and the power converters of both machines. We developed mathematical models of the DCBLDCM and DCSRM which accounted for the nonlinearity of their magnetization characteristics in dual-channel operation (DCO) and single-channel operation (SCO) modes. The static torque characteristics and flux characteristics of both machines were compared for operation in DCO and SCO modes. The waveforms of the current and the electromagnetic torque are presented for DCO and SCO operating conditions. For DCO mode, an analysis of the behavior of both machines under fault conditions (i.e., asymmetrical control, shorted coil, and open phase) was performed. The two designs were compared, and their strengths and weaknesses were indicated.
