The static aeroelastic analysis and optimization of flexible wings are conducted for steady state conditions while both aerodynamic and structural parameters can be used as optimization variables. The system of multidisciplinary design optimization as a robust methodology to couple commercial codes for a static aeroelastic optimization purpose to yield a convenient adaptation to engineering applications is developed. Aspect ratio, taper ratio, sweepback angle are chosen as optimization variables and the skin thickness of the wing. The real-coded adaptive range multi-objective genetic algorithm code, which represents the global multi-objective optimization algorithm, was used to control the optimization process. The support vector regression(SVR) is applied for optimization, in order to reduce the time of computation. For this multi-objective design optimization problem, numerical results show that several useful Pareto optimal designs exist for the flexible wing.

Modern advanced-turboprop propellers are required to have high structural strength to cope with the thrust requirement at high speed. The high stiffness and strength carbon/epoxy composite material is used for the major structure and skin-spar-foam sandwich structural type is adopted for advantage in terms of the blade weight. As a design procedure for the present study, the structural design load is estimated through investigation on aerodynamic load and then flanges of spars from major bending loads and the skin from shear loads are sized using the netting rule and Rule of Mixture. In order to investigate the structural safety and stability, stress analysis is performed by finite element analysis code MSC. NASTRAN. It is found that current methodology of composite structure design is a valid method through the static structural test of prototype blade.

항공용 가스터빈엔진 개발은 전문성과 경험을 요하는 많은 요소기술과 시험설비, 그리고 상당한 개발기간과 세부단계별 검증을 필요로 하는 복잡한 프로세스로 구성된다. 고온/고압 및 고속 회전 등 매우 가혹한 조건에서 운용되는 제품 특성 때문에 장납기 및 고가의 내열/고강도 소재 혹은 주단조 개발, 정밀한 제작 치수 및 공정관리, 코팅/브레이징/용접 등 고 난이도의 특수공정관리, 정교한 조립 및 다양한 종류의 엔진 검증 시험 등을 필요로 하며 이러한 이유로 상세설계 이후의 조립/시험 단계에서 설계변경이 발생할 경우 개발일정 및 비용 관점에서 제품개발에 큰 부담을 초래하게 된다. 공력/이차유로/열전달/구조/동특성/시스템 설계 등 개발 단계별 다양한 기법의 시뮬레이션 및 사전 검증시험 등의 중요성이 크게 부각된다. 이 글에서는 한화테크윈(혹은 HTW 로 표기)의 엔진개발 경험에 기반한 단계별 개발 시험의 종류, 필요 시험 설비 및 한화테크윈의 설비 운용 특징에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

In this research, a MDO(multi-disciplinary design optimization) framework, which integrates aerodynamic and structural analysis to design an aircraft wing, is constructed. Whole optimization process is automated by a parametric-modeling approach. A CFD mesh is generated automatically from parametric modeling of CATIA and Gridgen followed by automatic flow analysis using Fluent. Finite element mesh is generated automatically by parametric method of MSC.Patran PCL. Aerodynamic load is transferred to Finite element model by the volume spline method. RSM(Response Surface Method) is applied for optimization, which helps to achieve global optimum. As the design problem to test the current MDO framework, a wing weight minimization with constraints of lift-drag ratio and deflection of the wing is selected. Aspect ratio, taper ratio and sweepback angle are defined as design variables. The optimization result demonstrates the successful construction of the MDO framework.

In recent years, wind energy has been the world's fastest growing source of energy. This paper describes the structural design and analysis of composite blade for 2 kW-level HAWT (horizontal axis wind turbine). The aerodynamic design and force, which are required to design and analyze a composite blade structurally, are calculated through BEMT(blade element momentum theory) implemented in public code PROPID. To obtain the equivalent material properties of filament wound composite blades, the rule-of-mixture is applied using the basic material properties of fiber and matrix, respectively. Lay-up sequence, ply thickness and ply angle are designed to satisfy the loading conditions. Structural analysis by using commercial software ABAQUS is performed to compute the displacement and strength ratio of filament wound composite blades.

미사일 수직발사 시스템은 공간을 작게 차지하고 간편하여 각국이 선호하고 있다. 그러나 수직발사 초기에는 매우 낮은 속도로 상승하므로 Fin의 공력이 발생하지 않기 때문에 추력방향을 직접제어하지 않으면 안된다. 추력방향 제어장치는 Gimbal, Jet Vane, Jet Tab, Secondary Injection 등 여러 방식이 있으나 Jet Vane Type의 추력 방향 제어장치는 응답이 빠르고 경량화가 가능하며 후방 Fin과의 연동 및 작동 후 분리가 가능하다는 장점으로 인해 수직발사 미사일의 초기 방향제어에 주로 사용한다. 이 장치는 Vane이 화염 속에서 직접 구동되므로 고내열성 재료의 기술이 필요하며 미사일의 전체 System에 요구되는 Side Force를 발생시키기 위한 Vane의 최대 받음각 및 회전속도를 결정해야 한다. 따라서 초음속 유동해석을 통해서 Vane의 받음각에 대한 Side Force와 Torque를 계산하며, 구조해석을 통해 Side Force가 가해지는 동안의 Housing의 굽힘, 비틀림 하중 등을 계산하였다. 또한 Controller는 기존의 유압방식보다도 소형이며 복잡하지 않고 가격이 싼 DC Motor와 감속기를 이용하여 빠른 응답성에 부합토록 설계하였다. 본론에서는 성능과 관련된 초기 요구조건에 대한 최적설계의 변수들을 해석하고. 그에 따른 개발사양, 개발 과정, 구조, 시험방법 등에 대해 고찰하고자 한다.

This study describes the aerodynamic design procedure for the axial turbines of a small heavy-duty gas turbine engine being developed by Doosan Heavy Industries. The design procedure mainly consists of three parts: namely, flowpath design, airfoil design, and 3D performance calculation. To design the optimized flowpath, through-flow calculations as well as the loss estimation are widely used to evaluate the effect of geometric variables, for example, shape of meridional plane, mean radius, blades axial gap, and hade angle. During the airfoil design procedure, the optimum number of blades is calculated by empirical correlations based on the in/outlet flow angles, and then 2D airfoil planar sections are designed carefully, followed by 2D B2B NS calculations. The designed planar sections are stacked along the spanwise direction, leading to a 3D surfaced airfoil shape. To consider the 3D effect on turbine performance, 3D multistage Euler calculation, single row, and multistage NS calculations are performed.

For the design of this control unit, the proper geometry of the hub was designed and the calculation of the mechanics was carried out. Especially, It is expected that the operational efficiency will be improved because of additional high pitch starting function by using 2 step spring structure.

This paper discusses a one-way fluid structural interaction (FSI) analysis and shape optimization of the impeller blades for a 15,000 HP centrifugal compressor using the response surface method (RSM). Because both the aerodynamic performance and the structural safety of the impeller are affected by the shape of its blades, shape optimization is necessary using the FSI analysis, which includes a structural analysis for the induced fluid pressure and centrifugal force. The FSI analysis is performed in ANSYS Workbench: ANSYS CFX is used for the flow field and ANSYS Mechanical is used for the structural field. The response surfaces for the FSI results (efficiency, pressure ratio, maximum stress, etc.) generated based on the design of experiments (DOE) are used to find an optimal shape for the impeller blades, which provides the maximum aerodynamic performance subject to the structural safety constraints.

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.
