본 논문에서는 해상풍력발전기와 선박의 충돌시 타워와 기초보강재의 거동에 대하여 연구하였다. 풍력발전기는 5MW급 풍력발전기를 나셀, 타워, 보강재, 바닥판, 기초로 나누어서 모델링 하였다. 나셀은 집중질량으로 타워의 상부에 위치하였고 타워, 보강재, 바닥판은 탄소성거동을 한다고 가정하여 Shell 요소로 모델링 하였다. 선박은 풍력발전기와 마찬가지로 탄소성거동을 한다고 가정하였고 실제모델에 대해 풍력발전기와의 정면충돌로 고려하였으며, 충돌속도는 2.0m/sec로 가정하였다. 선박과 풍력발전기의 충돌 해석은 비선형 해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS/Explicit을 이용하여 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 선박충돌시 타워와 보강재의 거동을 분석하였다. 해석결과 타워에서 대부분의 에너지를 소산하는 것으로 나타났다.

이 연구에서는 100인승 항공기 급의 저익-주익장착나셀(wing mounted nacelle)의 추진기관 장착설계 방법을 제시하였다. 장착설계 방법을 구체적으로 설명하기 위해 세부적인 설계제한조건(design constraint)과 설계요구조건(design requirement and objectives)을 정의하고, 그러나 기준을 근거로 실례의 항공기(K100)를 사용하여 주익장착방식의 장착설계를 수행하였다. 장착설계는 간접항력(interference drag), roll clearance, ground clearance, nose gear collapse margin, rotor burst, 연료탱크용량 등의 설계제한 사항들을 고려하여 엔진성능을 만족시킬 수 있는 최적의 나셀 장착위치(spanwise, FS, WL)와 장착각도(toe-in, incidence, droop angle), wing day의 위치와 크기를 결정하여 향후에 개발될 주익장착방식의 추진기관 장착설계에 활용될 수 있는 설계절차를 구축하였다.

This paper describes the conceptual design and development test procedure of a unmanned scaled-down personal air vehicle(PAV) with drive and flight dual mode capability. Trade studies on operational requirements led to the suggestion of a quad tilt prop platform which has nacelle tilt capability with multi rotor configuration. Motors for propeller propulsion and driving mechanism were integrated into a single nacelle, then they were implemented by nacelle tilt mechanism for conversion between the drive and the flight modes. Primary design parameters and initial specifications were confirmed through conceptual design, then functional tests were performed with the test platforms for the drive and the flight modes.

To improve the aerodynamic efficiency of Smart Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (SUAV), vortex generators and flow fence are applied on the surface and the tip of wing. The initially applied vortex generator increased maximum lift coefficient and delayed the stall angle while it produced excessive increase in drag coefficient. It turns out reduction of the airplane's the lift/drag ratio. The new vortex generators with L-shape and two different height, 3mm and 5mm, were used to TR-S4 configuration to maintain the desired level of maximum lift coefficient and drag coefficient. Flow fence was also applied at the end of both wing tip to reduce the interaction between nacelle and wing when nacelle tilting angles are large enough and produce flow separation. To examine the effect of flow fence, flow visualization and force and moment measurements were done. The variation of the aerodynamic characteristics of SUAV after applying flow control devices are summarized.

The nacelle anemometer mounted behind the blade roots of a wind turbine measures distorted wind speed comparable with free-stream wind because of the wake effects caused dependent upon the operation of the wind turbine and the rotation of its blades. The field campaign was carried out to measure free-stream wind speed at a height identical to the height of the nacelle anemometer by deploying a ground-based remote-sensing equipment, LIDAR. It is derived that a third-order polynomial equation for correcting wind speed measured by the nacelle anemometer to undistorted free-stream wind speed incident to a wind turbine. It is anticipated that the derived correction equation enables wind speed measured by the nacelle anemometer to be used as a precise input for a wind turbine performance test and for developing an active control logic.

In this study, low velocity impact analysis on Turbo Fan Engine composite sandwich structure was performed. Sandwich structure configuration is made of carbon/epoxy face sheets and foam cores. For validating study, the results of an experimental and of a Finite Element Method analysis were compared previously. From the Finite Element Method analysis results of sandwich panel, it was confirmed that the result of analysis was reasonable. Impactor velocity to initiate damage was estimated, and in order to investigate the damage at the predicted velocity, impact analysis using Finite Element Method was performed. According to the impact analysis results of sandwich panel, it was confirmed that the damage was generated at the estimated impact velocity.

Tilt rotor aircraft is a multi-configuration airplane which has three independent flight modes; helicopter, conversion, and aiplane. The control surface mixer resign is reqctired to generate and distribute efficient control forces and moments in each flight mode. In the conversion mode, the thrust vector is changed from helicopter mode to airplane, therefore the thrust vector makes undesired forces and moments which affect on pitch, roll and yaw dynamics. This paper describes the design results of control surface mixer design which minimize the undesired forces and moments due to nacelles tilting angle change for 4O% scaled model.

A study on Nacelle Lidar (Light detection and ranging) measurement error and the data reliability verification was carried out at Haengwon wind farm on Jeju Island. For measurement data error processing, the characteristics of Nacelle Lidar measurements were analyzed by dividing into three parts, which are weather conditions (temperature, humidity, atmosphere, amount of precipitation), mechanical movement (rotation of wind turbine blades, tilt variation of Nacelle Lidar) and Nacelle Lidar data availability. After processing the measurement error, the reliability of Nacelle Lidar data was assessed by comparing with wind data by an anemometer on a met mast, which is located at a distance of 200m from the wind turbine with Nacelle Lidar. As a result, various weather conditions and mechanical movement did not disturb reliable data measurement. Nacelle Lidar data with availability of 95% or more could be used for checking Nacelle Lidar wind data reliability. The reliability of Nacelle Lidar data was very high with regression coefficient of 98% and coefficient of determination of 97%.

A method to detect rotor mass imbalance, which is one of the typical faults of wind turbine, is presented for effective condition monitoring of wind turbine. Dynamic analysis for a three-bladed horizontal-axis wind turbine was carried out with adding mass to a blade for inflicting the rotor mass imbalance. It has been found that the added mass induce a resulting centrifugal force to nacelle and this leads to a transverse (relative to the rotor axis) oscillation of the nacelle. It has been also found that the amplitude of the oscillation is almost linearly increased as the added mass is increased.

Installation design methods and results of an aircraft engine on the wing-mounted-nacelle type aircraft has been presented in this paper. The design process starts from design requirements and constraints and covers some major aspects of the engine installation design such as wing-nacelle interference drag, roll clearance, ground clearance, nose gear collapse margin, rotor burst and fuel tank capacity. The method was applied to 100-seat class airplane(K100). Results of the design suggest optimum nacelle location and nacelle installation angle(toe-in, incidence, droop angle) which satisfies in stalled engine performance and size/location of wing dry day.
