The wing in ground effect (WIG) ship is an energy saying vessel that uses the lift from its air-wing along with the lift increase from the ground effect by flying low above the sea surface. The WIG Ship should consist of thin plate in order to float on the sea and to fly in the air. Therefore, the structure of WIG, Ship has very thin and light shell plate and stiffener like stringer and frame has comparatively large cross section area. This structure makes shell plate nearly pure shear field when shell plate is pressed by in-plane load. This complex thin plate structure of WIG Ship can he considered as a closed section beam which makes it possible to analyze structure response of WIG Ship affected by shear load and bending load. In this respect, the present study will show basic theory for analysing shear stress and focus on the analysis of structure strength of model WIC Ship's wing.

This study was conducted to experimentally investigate the seismic retrofitting performance of non-ductile reinforced concrete (RC) frames by introducing engineered cementitious composite (ECC) wing panel elements. Non-ductile RC frame tested in this study were designed and detailed for gravity loads with insufficient or no consideration to lateral loads. Therefore, Non-ductile RC frame were not satisfied on present seismic code requirements. The precast ECC wing panels were used to improve the seismic structural performance of existing non-ductile RC frame. A series of experiments were carried out to evaluate the structural performance of ECC wing panel elements alone a non-ductile RC frame strengthened by adding ECC panel elements. Failure pattern, strength, stiffness and energy dissipation characteristics of specimens were evaluated based on the test results. The test results show that both lateral strength and stiffness were significantly improved in specimen strengthened than non-ductile RC frame. It is noted that ECC wing wall elements application on non-ductile RC frame can be effective alternative on seismic retrofit of non-ductile building.

해상용(offshore) 부이(bouy)는 선박의 항로를 지시하거나 암초, 침몰선 등 항해상의 위험물을 알리기 위해 사용 되며, 야간을 위해 등화장치를 설치한 것을 등부표라 한다. 등부표는 야간 점등을 위해 자체 전력 생산시스템을 갖추고 있으나, 기존의 태양광을 이용한 전력 시스템은 해상 환경에 따른 제약이 많아 안정적인 운영이 어려우므로 풍력 발전기(wind turbine)를 이용한 하이브리드 전력 생산시스템으로의 전환이 필요한 실정이다. 선행 연구는 수직축(vertical axis) 양력(lift) 및 항력(drag) 조합형 해상용 풍력발전기 개발에 대하여 수행하였으나, 본 논문에서는 풍력발전기의 효율 증대를 위해 날개 길이 및 후면부 절개 비율에 따른 수직축 풍력발전기 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 풍력발전기의 설치조건은 선행연구와 동일하게 등명구 교체 작업을 원활하게 하기 위하여 설치 공간을 $1m{\times}1m$로 제한하였으며, 등부표의 구조를 고려하여 최상단에 지지 프레임을 별도로 구성 하였다. 풍력발전기의 블레이드는 0.6mm의 알루미늄 박판을 절곡하여 NACA 4418의 외형을 가지도록 제작하였고, 블레이드 설계 시 에어포일의 후면부를 절개하여 양력과 항력을 효과적으로 이용하며 저속과 고속에서 높은 효율을 가지도록 설계하였다. 또한 블레이드 날개 길이와 후면부 절개 비율에 따른 풍력발전기 특성을 실험을 통해 비교하여 기준 해상 풍속에서 블레이드 설계 최적화를 수행하였으며 비교 모델 대비 약32% 발전량이 증가한 설계변수 조합을 구하였다.

The aeroelastic characteristics of a wing with control surface freeplay are investigated. The transonic small disturbance equation is used for unsteady aerodynamic forces in subsonic/transonic region. The fictitious mass method is introduced to apply a modal approach to nonlinear structural models. Nonlinear aeroelastic time responses are calculated by the coupled time integration method. Using these methods, an efficient aeroelastic analysis is achieved for aerodynamic and structural nonlinearities simultaneously. The effects of the aerodynamic nonlinearity, initial flap amplitude, and freeplay magnitude in aeroelastic characteristics are investigated in this study.

Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) occurs owing to the vortex generated from the back side of the appendages of ships and submarines during operation. Recently, the importance of high-order modes (HOMs) vibration and fatigue failure has become increasingly emphasized by increasing the speed of ships and the size of structures. In addition, predicting the vibration of HOMs is significantly necessary as the VIV becomes stronger in the fast flow speed condition than in the low flow speed condition. This study introduces a methodology according to HOMs hybrid Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) for predicting the HOMs VIV on the hydrofoils. The HOMs FSI system is verified by comparing the VIV results from the FSI simulation with the experimental results. Finally, the effectiveness of the HOMs FSI is determined by applying the maximum von-Mises stress obtained from the VIV on the hydrofoil to the S-N curve released from Det Norske Veritas (DNV). VIV results from the HOMs FSI include the lock-in characteristics as well as a significant increase of more than 10 times compared with that of low-order modes (LOMs) FSI. In the future works, advanced studies will be required for improving cantilever boundary conditions and the shape of hydrofoils.

The process of designing and building a human-powered aircraft (HPA) and its performance analysis are introduced in this paper. Light Bros, the Chungnam National University HPA team, has developed Volante, a HPA, to compete in the 2012 exhibition of human-powered aircraft hosted by Korea Aerospace Research Institute. The power train system is composed of a two-blade propeller and Bevel-type gear and the ground test bed is built to simulate the operation. A study has been made to find a efficient propeller based upon the test result of thrust and power available from a pilot under various propeller conditions and running time. The load and structural analysis is conducted for the glider-shaped wing made of composite material which has very high aspect ratio. The spar is analyzed using finite element modeling followed by the comparison of its displacement and strain on structural test. As a result, the performance and safety is confirmed.

This paper presents a procedure for designing command to maneuver flexible structure with very little residual vibration, even in the presence of modeling errors. For the open loop maneuver, the various shaped profiles using multiple step inputs delayed in time are considered for robustness and compared with the responses of rigid body and flexible body in virtue of simulations and experiments. Input shaping generates vibration-reducing shaped commands through convolution of an impulse sequence with the desired command. A flexible model with a cylindrical hub and four symmetric appendages is considered to examine the responses to real plant, and to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed shapers. The appendages are long and flexible, leading to low frequency vibration under any control action. It is shown by a series of simulation that a properly designed feedback controller with input shaper performs well, as compared with open loop controller with input shaper. The control objective is to achieve a fast settling time of residual vibration to flexible structure and robustness (insensitivity)to plant uncertainty, to eliminate residual vibration.

A canard type aircraft, which has good wing stall and stall/spin proof characteristics, is being developed. The previous first and second prototypes, having full depth core sandwich type wing and fixed landing gear, was built for test flights. Newly developing Firefly will be equipped with retractable landing gear and conventional foam core sandwich laminate for wing and fuselage. For manufacturing, composite material process has been studied including coupon tests. Wet lay-up onto foam core with glass fabric using lay-up mold has been chosen, and composite material parts are cured under room temperature and atmospheric pressure condition. In general, molded parts show so good surface smoothness and standardized quality that are best in mass production. In this study, we present the mold technology and development status for small aircraft firefly.

A 3-dimensional unsteady numerical analysis has been performed to evaluate the aerodynamic characteristics of a Giromill. Generally, the structure of a Giromill is simple and therefore easy to develop. In addition, the high solidity of the Gironmill helps improve the self-starting capacity at a low tip speed ratio (TSR). However, contrary to the Darrieus wind turbine which has a TSR of 4-7, a Giromill has a low TSR of 1-3. In this study, the aerodynamic characteristics of the Giromill are investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Three straight-bladed wings are used, and the solidity of the Giromill is 0.75. In contrast to a Darrieus wind turbine having low solidity, the Giromill shows a sudden decrease in the aerodynamic performance because of the interference between the wings and an increase in the drag on the wings in the downstream direction where wind flow is significantly reduced. Consequently, the aerodynamic performance decreased at a TSR value lower than 2.4.
