In this study, we designed the metallic reception part of a patch antenna using the phase field design method. The design object function is formulated with the S-parameter value which represent the return loss so that it is targeted to maximize radiation efficiency at a target frequency. The initial model of a patch antenna was designed via the ordinary theory based approach and its performance was enhanced by changing the structural configuration of the metallic part using the phase field design method combined with the double well potential functions. The final shape was proposed by removing the gray scale area along the structural boundary by employing a cut-off method. The proposed shape shows that the radiation efficiency at target frequency is significantly improved compared with the initial patch shape. The finite element analysis and optimization precess was performed using the commercial package COMSOL and Matlab programming.

Improved methodology of Synthetic Unit Hydrograph (SUH) utilized generally in hydrologic design work was suggested. In this study, regression analysis between peak hydrological data and geospatial data was applied to estimate specific peak flow and peak time for determining shape of SUH. Regression formulas for specific peak flow with respect to shape factors show higher coefficient of determination (0.73~0.81) than the ones with geospatial components only (0.52~0.69). The areal limitation of unit hydrograph application is regarded as 500~700 $km^2$. The validation through rainfall-runoff simulation shows encouraging results that relative error is 1.7~29.0%(Avg. 11.6%) for the case of using SUH developed in this study and 35.0~ 64.9% (Avg. 46.7%) for the SUH in the previous study except for the extraordinary cases.

This paper examines the design for improving the wiper system of rotorcraft. During rotorcraft operation, the wiping performance and excessive clearance can decrease. The wiper system consists of a wiper arm assembly, motor, convertor and flex drive. If there is a problem with the wiper system, the operation ability decreases because the operation is restricted in a rainy environment. There are two main causes of the problem of the wiper system: the lifting forces acting on the wiper arm in aircraft flight and the excessive gap of the components. To remedy these two problems, the wiper arm was improved. The improvements included increased contact pressure on the wiper arm (spring tension), improved gear clearance, and material and shape changes. Durability test, aircraft ground test and flight test were carried out to verify the improved shape, and it was confirmed that the wiping performance and clearance problems were solved. Currently, the rotorcraft is operated without problem by applying the improved shape, and this design improvement process will be a useful reference for future rotorcraft development.

This study aims to determine the cause of structural defects occurring during aircraft operations and to verify the structural integrity of the improved features. The fracture plane was analyzed to verify the characteristics of the cracks and the fatigue failure leading to the final fracture was determined by the progress of the cracks by the repeated load. During aircraft operations, the comparative analysis of the load measurement data at the cracks with the aircraft design load determined that the measured load was not at the level of 30% of the design to be capable of being damaged. A gap analysis resulted in a significant stress of approximately 32 ksi at the crack site. Pre-Load testing also confirmed that the M.S. was reduced by more than 50% from +0.71 to +0.43, resulting in a sharp increase in aircraft load and the possibility of cracking when combined. Thus, structural reinforcement and the removal of the gap for aircraft cracking sites improved the defect. Based on the structural strength analysis of the improvement features, the bulkhead has a margin of about +0.88 and the fitting feature is about +0.48 versus allowable stress. In addition, the life analysis results revealed an improvement of approximately 84000 hours.

In this study, we analyzed the resistance performance and running attitude of a catamaran by numerical analysis with a conventional bow, which is generally applied, and a reverse, protruding bow. The shape of the reverse bow was compared through numerical analysis and model tests. The reverse bow shape showed an improved wave pattern by shifting the generation position of the forward divergent wave to the aft in comparison with a conventional bow shape. This effect was found to be effective in determining resistance and stable running attitude. The hull resistance improved by about 2.95 %. The comparative numerical analysis and model test for the reverse bow shape completed in this study should be useful for future hull design application.

A calibration technique is proposed to improve the performance of 2-D towed array shape estimation using the Kalman filter. In the case of using displacement sensors, 2-D hydrophone positions estimated by the Kalman filter are calculated by assuming that the adjacent hydrophones are horizontally equi-spaced so that maximum distance is equal to the array length. The assumption causes errors in estimating hydrophone positions. The proposed technique using linear model approximation or spline interpolation can reduce the errors by exploiting the fact that the whole length of array is preserved whatever the array shape is. The numerical experiments show that the proposed method is very effective.

VOF 방법에 의한 자유표면 유동계산의 정확성을 개선하기 위해 이차정도 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 이차원 모델의 정확성을 비교하기 위하여 여러 가지 크기의 원형 및 Solitary wave형상의 자유표면 유동을 통하여 기존에 개발된 두 가지의 일차정도 모델과 비교하였다. 비교결과 반경이 큰 원과 같이 곡률이 작은 형상의 경우에는 일차정도 모델도 비교적 정확한 결과를 보여주고 있으나 작은 반경의 원형이나 Solitary wave와 같이 곡률이 큰 형상의 경우 일차정도 모델은 많은 오차를 보여주는 반면에 이차정도 모델은 어느 경우에나 매우 정확한 결과를 보여준다.

주물이 대형이고 난이한 자유곡면으로 이루어진 형상의 목형 제작에는 기준이 되는 각 단면의 도형 정보를 기초로 골격을 세워 그 틈새를 유연한 재료(모래, 시맨트, 스티로폴, 목재)로 메워 모형을 만드는 골격형 목형(Skeleton pattern)를 사용하여 왔다. 그러나 기준 단면사이의 형상보간 및 필요단면 정보는 틈새 메움시 현장 작업자의 수작업에 의존하여 작업되므로 제품 완성시 두께 분표불량등 정확한 주물을 제작할 수 없었다. 그러나 3차원 CAC 시스템의 발전과 더불어 자유곡면의 생성 및 조작이 손쉽게 이루어 짐으로써 정확한 형상 정의 및 처리가 가능하게 되어 기존 목형방법을 개선할수 있는 시스템을 개발하여, 프로펠라 목형을 대상으로하여 적용하였다.
