Dome shape design methods of Filament Winding (FW) composite pressure vessel, which can suggest various dome contour according to the external loading conditions, were investigated analytically and numerically. The performance indices(PV/W) of the pressure vessels with same cylinder radius and boss opening but different dome shape were evaluated by finite element analysis under the internal pressure loading condition. The analysis results showed that as the dome shape becomes flat, the performance index decreases significantly due to the reduced burst pressure. Especially, for the case of the high value of the parameter ro, the ratio between the radii of the cylinder part and the boss opening, the flat dome is disadvantageous in the aspect of the weight reduction, and additional reinforcing dome design technique should be required to increase the burst pressure. For example, above ro=0.54 condition, the dome shape change according to the loading condition could cause the low burst pressure and increase of composite weight in dome region and is not recommendable except for the special case that maximum inner volume or sufficient space between skirt and dome is the primary design objective. However, at ro=0.35, the dome shape change brings not so significant differences in the performance of FW vessel.

Inductive sensors are versatile and economical devices that are widely used to measure a wide variety of physical variables, such as displacement, force, and pressure. In this paper, we propose a simple inductive sensor consisting of a thin partial ring and a coil set. The self-inductance of the sensor was estimated using magnetic circuit analysis and validated through finite element analysis (FEA). The natural frequency of the ring was estimated using Castigliano's theorem and the method of equivalent mass. The estimation was validated through experiments and FEA. A prototype sensor with a signal processing circuit is built and applied to noninvasively sense the pressure inside a flexible tube. The obtained sensor outputs show quadratic behavior with respect to the pressure. When fitted to a quadratic equation, the least-square measurement error was less than 2%. The results confirm the feasibility of pressure sensing using the proposed inductive sensor.

In this study, the design method of a 155 mm Solid Fuel Ramjet projectile is proposed and a flight performance analysis program through mathematical modelling is developed. Through flight performance analysis, ramjet performance during flight, which is comprised of thrust, specific impulse, pressure recovery ratio, location of shock waves, and magnitude of drag, was predicted. The results show that compared to Rocket Assisted Projectile(RAP), the range was increased by 90 %. Furthermore, how variations in nozzle exit area ratio and the intake area cause variations in range was observed. This research on modeling and simulation methodology will provide useful data for future development of solid fuel ramjet projectiles.

일반적인 제어대상 시스템을 모델링하여 제어기를 설계할 경우 시스템을 제어하는 액츄에이터의 saturation 현상을 무시하고 설계하는 경우가 자주 있다. 만일 시스템이 SISO이며, 충분히 안정하고 동적 특성이 빠른 경우에는 saturation 무시가 주는 영향이 크게 나타나지 않지만, 만일 시스템이 MIMO이며 비선형일 경우 비선형 요소인 입력 saturation에 의하여 시스템의 특성이 변형되고 크게는 불안정화 된다.

An experimental study was carried out, in order to set up the procedure for evaluation of hot fire test, to investigate the effect of mixture on combustion performance and combustion stability , and to determine the optimum design condition for designing the liquid rocket engine. $HNO_3$/Kerosene uni-element liquid rocket engine(thrust 24 $\iota{b}_f$, chamber pressure 200 psia) using impinging streams doublet injector was designed, and ground hot-fire test was carried out. To prevent or reduce the hard start during ignition period, two step ignition method was used. This was accomplished by maintaining about 25% of the designed operating pressure doting transient period, then chamber pressure was built up to the designed operating pressure. Maximum combustion efficiency was at O/F ratio 3.6, and combustion efficiency is decreased with increasing momentum ratio.

Dome shape design method of filament wound (FW) composite pressure vessel, which can create various dome shape with fixed boss opening, was suggested. And, the performance indices (PV/W) for composite pressure vessel with same boss opening but different dome shape were investigated by finite element analysis (FEA) and hydro-test. The FEA showed good agreement with test results for burst pressure. Generally, as the dome shape of pressure vessel was changed to flat dome, the inner volume is increased and the burst pressure is decreased. In the case of above ${\rho}_o$=0.54, the performance index showed decreased value due to the low burst pressure. However, at ${\rho}_o$=0.35, the dome shape change brings not significant reduction of burst pressure and performance index.

In this Paper, we present a method for designing fuzzy $H_2/H_{\infty}$ controllers of delayed nonlinear systems with saturating input. Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model is employed to represent delayed nonlinear systems with saturating input. The fuzzy control systems utilize the concept of the so-called parallel distributed compensation(PDC). Using a single quadratic Lyapunov function, the globally exponential stability and $H_2/H_{\infty}$ performance problem are discussed. And a sufficient condition for the existence of fuzzy $H_2/H_{\infty}$ controllers is given in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). The designing fuzzy $H_2/H_{\infty}$ controllers minimize an upper bound on a linear quadratic performance measure. Finally, a design example of fuzzy $H_2/H_{\infty}$ controller for uncertain delayed nonlinear systems with saturating input.

Performance test of the 30-ton class liquid rocket engine turbopump turbine has been conducted using high pressure cold air. Overall performance of the two kinds of turbine rotors - rotor with knife-edged L.E blades and with rounded L.E blades - has been measured for various rotational speed and turbine pressure ratio. The effect of rotational speed and turbine pressure ratio on the turbine axial force behavior also has been measured in parallel. Test results have revealed that the efficiency of knife edged L.E. turbine is a little bit higher than that of rounded L.E. turbine. The axial force of the turbine varied linearly with respect to rotational speed and its magnitude largely depended on turbine pressure ratio.

In this study, we propose an supersonic diffuser that is one of test facilities for hypersonic propulsion engine, and conduct numerical analyses and cold flow test using each diffuser as the corresponding variable. Specifically, inner flow characteristics are computed based on mach number and pressure by the numerical analyses. Also, we test through cold flow test the pressure in the vacuum chamber and the inner pressure that is formed by the wall pressure. Finally, we compare the results from cold flow test and the numerical analyses, and report a preliminary result that might be useful to construct a better test facility of hypersonic propulsion engine in the future.

자동수문이란 설정된 관리수위 이하에서는 수문이 개방되지 않고, 유량이 증가하여 관리수위 이상이 되면 수문이 개방되어 관리수위까지 방류하게 되면 다시 수문이 닫히게 되어 자동으로 관리수위를 유지한다는 것을 의미한다. 이러한 연직 자동수문의 방류특성이 수동식 연직수문과 다른 점은 유량에 따라서 수문 개방고의 증감과 수문개폐가 자동으로 이루어진다는 것이다. 따라서 자동수문의 운영 중 수문개방고의 거동과 자동개폐 시점을 예측하는 것은 정밀한 수문설계를 위해 매우 중요하다. 수문 개방 시 흐름이 정지되어있다고 가정하면, 정수압 상태의 부력이론에 의한 부력수문의 개방고는 어렵지 않게 계산할 수 있다. 그러나, 흐름이 정지되어 있다가 수문의 하단으로 방류가 시작되면 수문 선단을 포함한 주변에 압력 차이로 인해 동수압 하중이 발생하게 되어 수문에 진동을 유발하고, 수문개방을 억제하는 힘이 발생하여 수문 운영에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 부력식 수문의 모형실험을 통하여 정수압 상태의 부력이론에 의한 수문 개방율과 측정에 의한 수문 개방율을 비교하였으며, 압력계수를 이용하여 이론과 측정 수문 개방고의 차이는 동적하중에 의한 효과임을 확인하였다. 모형실험에서 측정된 자료와 수치모형 ANSYS - Fluent의 사용성을 검증하였고, 부력식 수문의 형상에 따른 동적하중을 분석하였다. 수문 형상비는 0.24~1.09로 설정하였고, 분석결과 부력식 수문은 수문 개방율이 커짐에 따라 압력계수는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 동적하중은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 부력식 수문의 형상비에 따라서는 형상비가 증가함에 따라 동적하중이 감소하는 관계를 확인하였다.
