기계적 장치의 도움 없이 오직 사람의 힘으로만 비행을 해야 하는 인간 동력 항공기는 높은 동력 효율 및 최소한의 무게를 지니며 고세장비(High Aspect Ratio)날개 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 공력 및 구조적 최적화가 필요하며 고세장비 날개 특성에 따른 대변위 해석이 필요하다. 비행가능한 특정 순항속도에서 3차원 날개에 작용하는 양력에 대해, Edison Solver(Educational program for finite element analysis (CASADSolver))를 이용하여 2차원 spar에 분포하중으로 적용하였을 때의 응력 분포 및 끝단 변위 분석하고자 한다. 또한, 2차원 spar에 일정한 간격으로 집중하중을 작용하였을 때 생기는 변위와 3차원 spar를 이용한 하중해석 결과의 변위를 비교하고자 한다. 위의 두 분석 결과로 비교적 계산자원이 많은 3차원 해석이 아닌 2차원 해석으로 인간 동력 항공기 날개 설계 초기단계에 적용가능한 지에 대해 비교한다.

In this study, an aerodynamic performance analysis code has been developed as a part of rotorcraft comprehensive program. Airloads on rotor blades are calculated based on the blade element theory with look-up tables of aerodynamic coefficients of 2-D airfoils. In order to calculate rotor induced inflow, various inflow prediction methods such as linear inflow, dynamic inflow, prescribed wake and free wake model are integrated into the present module. The aerodynamic characteristics of each method are compared and validated against available experimental data such as Elliot's inflow distribution and sectional normal force coefficients of AH-1G.

This study presents computational analysis of aerodynamic characteristics of two-dimensional airfoil sections with elastic flap attached at the trailing edge. EDISON_CFD was utilized to simulate the incompressible turbulent flow around the foil and MIDAS_IT was employed to estimate the deflection of the flap under the pressure loading. Using iterative procedure, the terminal deflection was estimated and the resulting lift-drag ratio indicates that the favorable effect of the flap is expected within certain amount of angle of attack.

In this study, structural design of the propeller blade for turboprop aircraft was performed. The propeller shall have high strength to get the thrust to fly at high speed. The high stiffness and strength carbon/epoxy composite material was used for the major structure and skin-spar-foam sandwich structural type was adopted for improvement of lightness. As a design procedure for the present study, firstly the structural design load was estimated through investigation on aerodynamic load and then flanges of spars from major bending loads and the skin from shear loads were preliminarily sized using the netting rule. In order to investigate the structural safety and stability, stress analysis was performed by finite element analysis code MSC. NASTRAN. Finally, it is investigated that designed blade have high efficiency and structural safety to analyze of aerodynamic and structural design results.

The wind can be stronger and steadier further from shore, but water depth is also deeper. Then bottom-mounted towers are not feasible, and floating turbines are more competitive. There are additional motions in an offshore floating wind turbine, which results in a more complex aerodynamics operating environment for the turbine rotor. Many aerodynamic analysis methods rely on blade element momentum theory to investigate aerodynamic load, which are not valid in vortex ring state that occurs in floating wind turbine operations. So, vortex lattice method, which is more physical, was used in this analysis. Floating platform's prescribed positions were calculated in the time domain by using floating system RAO and waves that are simulated using JONSWAP spectrum. The average value of in-plane aerodynamic force increase, but the value of out-of-plane force decrease. The maximum variation aerodynamic force abruptly increases in severe sea state. Especially, as the pitch motion of the barge platform is large, this motion should be avoided to decrease the aerodynamic load variation.

Recently renewable energy such as offshore wind energy takes a higher interest due to the depletion of fossil fuel and the environmental pollution. This paper deals with multi-body dynamics (MBD) analysis technique for offshore wind turbine system considering aerodynamic loads and Thevenin equation used for determination of electric generator torque. Dynamic responses of 5MW offshore wind turbine system are evaluated via the MBD analysis, and the system is the horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) which generates electricity from the three blades horizontally installed at upwind direction. The aerodynamic loads acting on the blades are computed by AeroDyn code, which is capable of accommodating a generalized dynamic wake using blade element momentum (BEM) theory. In order that the characteristics of dynamic loads and torques on the main joint parts of offshore wind turbine system are simulated similarly such an actual system, flexible body modeling including the actual structural properties are applied for both blade and tower in the multi-body dynamics model.

In this study, an assessment is made for the helicopter vibration reduction of composite rotor blades using an active twist control concept. The piezoceramic shear actuation mechanism along with elastic couplings of composite blades is used for vibration reduction. The rotor blades are modeled as composite box-beams with actuator layers bonded on the outer surfaces of the thin-walled section. The governing equations of motion for helicopter blades are obtained using Hamilton's principle. A time domain unsteady aerodynamic theory with free wake model is used to obtain the airloads. Various rotor configurations with different elastic couplings with appropriate actuator placement are used to investigate the hub vibration characteristics. Numerical results show that a substantial reduction of $N_b$/rev hub vibration can be achieved using the optimal control algorithm.

축류 압축기 블레이드(blade)와 베인(vane)이 정하중(static load)에서 충분한 강도를 지니고 있더라도 반복하중이나 교번하중을 받게되면, 그 하중이 작더라도 파괴가 일어날 수 있다. 축류 압축기 블레이드와 베인의 피로파괴(fatigue failure) 현상은 개발 중인 가스터빈엔진 뿐만 아니라 현재 운용중인 엔진에서도 발생할 수 있는 엔진손상의 주요 원인이다. 블레이드나 베인의 동적 안정성 평가는 에어포일(airfoil)의 피로특성과 엔진운용조건에 따라서 발생하는 복잡한 공력가진과의 연관성을 고려하여 수행되어야 하기 때문에, 해석과 구성품 시험을 통하여 우선적으로 강도 평가를 실시하여야 한다.(중략)

2단 또는 3단형으로 설계되고 있는 KSLV-I 발사체의 단연결부는 직경의 변화에 따라 원뿔대(Truncated cone) 구조물이 필요하다. 원뿔대형 구조물이 발사체의 외피일 경우에는 일반적인 실린더형 동체와는 다르게 공력에 의한 버페팅(buffeting)과 공력가열 등이 추가적인 설계인자로 고려되어야 한다. 복합재료 샌드위치 구조물은 외피의 굽힘 강성이 크고, 일체성형으로 실린더형 혹은 원뿔대형 구좁물을 쉽게 제작할 수 있어 단연결부에 적용되고 있다. 또한 위성어댑터(Payload Adapter)등에도 사용되어 우주발사체에는 매우 일반적인 구조물이다. 복합재료 샌드위치 구조물의 제작과 정적시험을 통하여 구조 특성을 알아보았다. 일체형 샌드위치 구조물의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 프레임과의 체결부를 효율적으로 설계하여야 하며 하중의 종류에 따라서 면재의 적층각도가 중요함을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents the rotating test techniques and the results of the roating test of the small-scaled hingeless rotor system with composite paddle blades in hover and forward flight conditions. The small-scaled rotor system was designed using froude-scaled properties of full scale rotor system. Metal flexures and composite flexures were made as hub flexures by the same dynamic properties of rotor system. The rotating tests of hingeless rotor system installed in GSRTS at KARI were carried out to get lead-lag damping ratios and aerodynamic loads of the hingeless rotor system. MBA(Moving Block Analysis) technique was used for the estimation of lead-lag damping ratio. 6-components balance was installed between hub and main shaft and straingauges on blades were instrumented for the measurements of aerodynamic loads of rotor system. Tests were performed on the ground and in the wind tunnel according to the test conditions of hover and forward flight, respectively.
