In order to investigate transient behaviour of the CRW(Canard Rotor Wing) type UAV(Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle) propulsion system during flight mode transition considering flow control valve operation, the propulsion system was modelled using SIMULINK commercial program. For transient simulation of the main engine system, the ICV(Inter-Component Volume) method was applied. The valve system is to control the gas flow of the rotary duct system and the main duct system, and the analysis was performed with an assumption that the total gas mass flow of the main engine is the same as summation of the rotary duct flow and the main duct flow, and with consideration of valve loss, flow rate and effective area in valve angle variation. The performance analysis was carried out during flight mode transitions from the rotary flight mode to the fixed wing flight mode and vice versa mode at altitude of 1Km, flight Mach number 0.1 and maximum engine rpm.

가정용 룸에어컨이나 가정, 점포, 사무실에 사용하는 패키지에어컨은 쾌적한 주거 사무공간을 실현할 수 있기 때문에 최근 10년 동안에 광범위하게 보급되었고, 그 기술도 해마다 진보하고 있다. 그림 1에서 나타나듯이 2001년 가정용 룸에어컨의 국내생산 수량은 연간 600만대 수준이며, 패키지에어컨은 연간 약 80만대 수준이다. 2001년 기준으로 에어컨의 국내시장규모는 약 130만대로 세대 보급률이 약 40%에 도달하고 있다. 비록 패키지에어컨은 생산 수량면에서는 룸에어컨과 비교할 수 없지만, 한대의 냉방능력이 룸에어컨의 수배에서 수십배로 크기 때문에 전력에너지소비, 환경 등에 미치는 영향은 룸에어컨과 비견될 수 있다. 공조장치 보급에 따른 환경, 에너지 측면에서의 사회적 영향과 관심이 점차 커지고 있고, 이것을 개선하기 위한 기술개발이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 에어컨을 포함한 공조장치의 다수는 효율이 좋은 증기 압축식 냉동사이클로써 구성되어 있으며, 증기 압축식 사이클에서 냉매가스를 압축하여 순환시키는 심장역할을 하고 있는 것이 압축기이다. 또한 압축기는 공조장치 전체의 전력소비의 80%에서 90%을 차지하고 있어 에너지절감 기술개발과 환경기술개발의 포인트가 되는 기구이다. 최근에 에어컨용 냉매압축기의 기술적인 개발동향을 정리하면 다음과 같은 경향으로 진행되고 있다.

Recently, noise reduction in room air conditioners has been one of the important issues as well as cooling efficiency. The rotary compressor is the dominant noise source in an air conditioner. A number of studies have been conducted on reducing compressor noise through improving muffler and resonator design. However the noise from the accumulator, a noise delivering path between compressor and air conditioner, is not fully taken into consideration. The accumulator contains a large inner cavity, and usually generates additional resonance noise during operation. This paper aims to conduct an optimal design for reducing accumulator noise by maximizing the transmission loss within the target frequency range that represents high-order nonlinearity. Design of experiments and radial basis function neural network are used in the context of approximate meta-models, and genetic algorithm is used as an optimization tool.

Conventional bus system architectures are composed of several components such as master, arbiter, decoder and slave modules. The arbiter plays a role in bus arbitration according to the selected arbitration method, since several masters cannot use the bus concurrently. Typical priority strategies used in high performance arbiters include static priority, round robin, TDMA and lottery. Typical arbitration algorithms always consider the bus priority primarily, while the bus utilization is always ignored. In this paper, we propose an arbitration method using bus utilization for the operating block of each master. We verify the performance compared with the other arbitration methods through the TLM(Transaction Level Model). Based on the performance verification, the conventional fixed priority and round-robin arbitration methods cannot set the bus utilization. Whereas, in the case of the conventional TDMA and lottery arbitration methods, more than 100,000 cycles of bus utilization can be set by the user, exhibiting differences of actual bus utilization up to 50% and 70%, respectively. On the other hand, we confirm that for the proposed arbitration method, the matched bus utilization set by the user was above 99% using approximately 1,000 cycles.

A rotary table is a positioning device used in metalworking for the multiple axes of machine tools, and the utilization trend is increasing with machining efficiency. In the construction of a rotary table, the core technology is a power transfer unit that drives the table, typically a gear type and a roller gear cam type. As the rollers installed on the turret column have rolling movement on the contact surface of the roller gear cam, the roller gear cam type has the advantage of low wear, high load, and fast driving. Therefore, it is currently being replaced by a roller gear cam type. In this study, we researched a 5-axis machining method for the roller gear cam on a rotary table and a new method of applying double roller gear cam curve to reduce the noise and shock between the roller and the cam surface. We implemented the 5-axis machining process in this study using software to generate NC-code and machined the roller gear cams using a Mazak Integrex-200IV. We found that the roller gear cam and turret were able to identify mutual touch status and the noise from the operation of the roller gear cam was substantially reduced.

Rotary swaging is one of the incremental forming process which is a chipless process using the reduction of cross-sections of bars, tubes and wires. The TDS(Tube Drive Shaft) of monobloc used in automotive has been developed by the rotary swaging process. The mechanical characteristics of swaged parts such as the hardness, thickness and roughness are also estimated to conduct experimental analyses of rotary swaging process with the materials of 34Mn5 Furthermore the change in the vibration mode of TDS due to design parameters, which are the tube length, diameter and thickness, has been investigated and analysed. The weight of the TDS product is smaller by about $12.8\%$ than that of SDS with the same performance. It could be evidently found that the TDS is designed to be much lighter than SDS (Solid Drive Shaft). This advantage might give some possibility to improve the NVH (Noise-Vibration-Harshness) characteristics. A maximum torque and a total number of torsional repetitions for the TDS is checked and measured to know the torsional intensity and fatigue strength through the static torsion test and torsional durability test, respectively. A total number of the torsional repetitions up to the fracture for the TDS is greater than 250,000 times.

Usually piston or rotary engines are installed at UAV's under 100 kg payload class. Those engine are less expensive and easy to get, but they require higher operating and maintenance costs due to shorter life and unique fuel usage. They are also too noisy to operate in urban area and have too strong vibration to carry sophisticated payloads. On the contrary, a gas turbine engine has drawbacks like higher specific fuel consumption and weight to power ratio, even it has many operating and maintenance benefits. This study aims to design a small turboshaft engine with a recuperator to overcome those demerits. A tilt rotor UAV(TR-60) developed by KARI was chosen as an imaginary target aircraft, and engine power and size were derived from it. This paper describes engine requirements, design process, and initial reference point cycle design.

The rotary joint connecting the upper and lower structures of construction machinery and special vehicles transmits hydraulic pressure as the shaft and housing rotate, and multiple seals are assembled to prevent oil leakage into the oil flow channel. Because the seal material is rigid and difficult to assemble, we sought a method to assemble it after cutting. The shapes of the cutting surface are L-shaped and / shaped, and the leakage standard when hydraulic pressure is applied is the contact pressure generated on the cutting surface. The structure and material of the seal are composed of a double elastomer, and nonlinear contact structural analysis is performed when only the high-rigidity PE material is cut. Studies have shown that the shorter the cutting length, the better the leakage prevention and the higher the possibility of leakage to the bottom surface where NBR and PE come into contact rather than the top surface where the PE and the housing come into contact.

Various type of rotary unions are widely used to provide fluids between rotating parts. To prevent fluid leakage, most of the rotary unions adopt mechanical seals which is highly reliable but too expensive and complicate. In this paper, a simple lip seal system made of PTFE is adopted in designing of a compact rotary union. Using MARC, the behavior characteristics of lip seal are investigated for seal mounting process, and obtained variations of contact pressure distribution and contact width with interferences and fluid pressures. The results showed that contact width are increased with interference and pressure. The maximum contact pressure are also increased up to a certain interference and pressure, however, then decreased. The numerical methods and results can be applied in designing and performance improvement of lip seal adopted rotary union, and further extensive studies are required.
