In this paper, the dynamic movement of a driveshaft with imbalance is calculated from the bending stress of a driveshaft at a vehicle test. The synthesis movement is simulated using vertical and horizontal bending models with the centrifugal force induced by the imbalance. Thus, the mechanism that bending stress arises at a driveshaft of a general power train is clarified. The analysis using the simulation shows the relationship between vertical and horizontal stiffness of a power train and dynamic movement of a driveshaft. As a result, a method to reduce bending stress of a driveshaft is proposed.

This paper deals with a case where H∞ control is applied to a basic control logic of a rack-assisted Electric Power Steering (EPS) system. In the body, the following three key features are described: Construction of the target controlled model including a vehicle Controller design for the model H∞ controller performance verification In this paper, it has been confirmed that H∞ control is valid as a basic control logic for the EPS system.
