The objective of the KA-32 Helicopter Training Simulator Development Program, executed by the Republic of Korea Government, is to acquire a helicopter simulator which meets level C requirements in accordance with the FAA AC 120-63. The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) manages the development program and is supposed to develop and validate the flight dynamics model based on simulator design data and flight test data. The helicopter chosen for this project is the Kamov KA32T, operated by the Korean Forest Aviation Office. This paper presents the test program and information about the installation and execution of the flight tests. The program consist of tests for the simulator qualification, additional tests for model data and additional tests for model validation. The flight trials were performed from 30 July to 31 August at the Iksan airbase of the Forest Aviation Office (FAO).

We suggest the image recognition algorithm for automatic decision of EUT malfunction using computer vision in the radiant electromagnetic field. We monitor and analyze the EUT malfunction through the numerical value change of electro-measurement and medical instruments, or the image distortion of PC monitor. We could decide EUT malfunction by comparing the object image in the electromagnetic field with the reference image or by recognizing the numerical value change on the video camera monitor. We can show the evidence of EUT malfunction decision and reduce the possibility of malfunction in the tolerance test.

Sea gives us a lot of benefits and one of them is a role of transporting goods easily by ship. Accordingly the industrial area or the container yard is constructed either on the low sea or near the sea. Sea dredging ground is made by pumping them using dredge pump to the inside of embankment after dredging undersea soils. The dredging ground after pumping is in the slurry state but as time goes, consolidation by the own weight happens and evaporation happens at the surface of dredging ground. The evaporation causes the crest layer in the upper side of dredging ground. Under the crest layer there is still a soil of slurry state which has just little bearing resistance. This kind of characteristics makes it difficult to get a exact bearing capacity using the equations proposed until now. In this study we have performed simultaneously both the field loading tests and the cone penetration tests on the sea dredging ground. From the result of field tests, new experimental equation for the ultimate bearing capacity has been proposed. If we use the new equation, it is believed that some design of sea dredging ground could be more accurate.

Micro-vibration induced by on-board appendages that have mechanical moving parts has always been treated as an useless objective that has to be isolated, in order to comply with a high-resolution mission requirement of the observation satellite. In this study, we proposed a tuned mass damper energy harvester combined with a conventional passive vibration isolator for exhibiting dual functions of both electrical energy harvesting and micro-vibration isolation. The feasibility of the proposed dual-function complex system has been demonstrated through the comparison with numerical simulations, based on the results of basic characteristic tests, and experiments of the harvested power and micro-vibration.

As the scale of explosions diversifies along with the expansion of gas handling and storage facilities, studies on explosion-proof facilities in preparation for accidents is being actively conducted. The gastight door blocks the expansion pressure caused by blast waves or internal fires, and at the same time protects the personnel and equipment inside. For gastight doors, the regulations related to explosion-proof design are not clearly presented, and studies on the explosion pressure resistance performance evaluation of the facility are insufficient. In this study, the gastight door was modeled in a 3D shape with reference to the regulation ASTM regarding the gastight door standard. Afterwards, evaluation for blast-resistant performance of gastight door using Numerical simulation was evaluated by using ANSYS Explicit Dynamics to compare the deformation.

In this study, an experiment on an air conditioning test bench was performed to verify the possibility of fuel economy simulation for the SC03 mode, North America fuel economy certification mode with a/c on condition, one of the vehicle fuel economy evaluation modes. The air conditioning test bench used in this study had each chamber simulating the actual vehicle air conditioning system and the controlling temperature, humidity, and air flow velocity to reproduce environmental conditions. Reliable results were obtained about the compressor RPM and inlet air velocity in front of the condenser corresponding to vehicle speed and air velocity in front of the vehicle, respectively, in the simulation of the SC03 mode, previously performed in CWT, in an air conditioning test bench. It was also discovered that there was a distinct difference in the fuel economy depending on the difference in the compressor displacement in the simulation test of the SC03 mode in the air conditioning test bench under various displacement conditions of the compressor.

Estimating the thermal conductivity of clayey soils is important for enhancing the performance of geoengineering structures in cold regions and clay barriers for nuclear waste repositories, but specimen disturbance, saturation, and heat boundary conditions of the test apparatus hinder reliable measurements of the thermal conductivity of saturated clayey soils. This paper presents the results of an experimental study carried out using modified consolidation tests with the needle probe method to measure thermal conductivity. Experimental consolidation tests with saturated kaolinite were performed to investigate the effect of effective stress and dry density on thermal conductivity for saturated kaolinite. In addition, thermal conductivity of soil particles were thoroughly investigated and experimental results were used to evaluate the accuracy of the models to predict thermal conductivity.

국책사업이나 SOC의 확충을 위한 도로 및 철도의 건설에서 적용되는 터널의 단면크기를 보면, $50m^2$에서부터 $100m^2$이상의 중 대단면 터널이 주를 이루고 있으나, 전력구, 통신구, 소규모로 운영되는 광산의 채광용 터널, 용수를 위한 도수로터널 등 특수한 용도로 설계, 시공되고 있는 터널에서는 $20m^2$이하의 단면크기를 갖는 경우가 있다. 이러한 소단면 터널의 경우에는 협소한 작업공간으로 인하여 적용공법 뿐만 아니라 장비의 사용 또한 제약을 받게 되어 작업효율이 저하되고 공사기간이 늘어나게 되는 등 여러 가지 문제점을 안고 있다. 특히, 에멀젼 폭약을 사용하는 발파에서 먼저 기폭된 발파공의 충격압력에 의해 인접공의 폭약이 예비압축(Precompression)되어 사압현상을 일으키고 잔류약을 발생시키는 사례가 종종 발생하고 있다. 사압현상은 당해 발파의 실패와 함께 2차적인 사고의 위험요인이 될 수 있으므로 이를 방지하기 위한 대책을 수립하여야 한다. 이를 위해 기존 문헌을 통하여 사압현상의 원인과 발생 가능성을 검토하였고, 국내에서 주로 사용되는 에멀전폭약의 수중 내충격성시험과 충격압력 전달시험을 실시하여 사압현상의 발생정도를 측정하였으며, 사압현상이 발생한 소단면 터널현장을 대상으로 대책을 수립하여 적용하였다. 심발방법을 변경하여 전단의 충격압력을 견딜 수 있는 공간격을 확보하고 뇌관의 초시간격을 적절하게 배치한 발파패턴을 적용한결과, 사압현상을 억제하고 잔류약의 발생을 감소시켜 계획 굴진장을 확보하고 파쇄석의 크기를 감소시키는 등 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The non-destructive testing equipment using an eddy current was developed to check for defect in the vehicle transmission component. A defect master sample was made to test all types of defects that occur in the component and also an eddy current detector was manufactured and used to test and detect all kinds of defects. In addition, testing was held against the actual defective items to investigate the cause and type of defects, and a comparative study was conducted based on results from the examination. The software system of the eddy current detector was developed so that even a non-specialist can make assessment of detect in the component from the test results displayed on the monitor.

This paper discusses the methods of estimating the punch penetration indices and data analysis punch penetration test to estimate the TBM normal force and penetration rate. In punch penetration test is known as a useful test to estimate penetration rates and normal force of TBMs directly with several slope indices indicated drill-ability and brittleness of rocks. However, the standard methods and indices for punch penetration test are not suggested yet. The main purpose of punch penetration test which is prediction of normal force of TBM disc cutter when cutters excavate rock mass. In this study, the punch penetration tests were performed for 6 representative Korean rock types and variety length and diameter of rock core specimens. Among slope indices were obtained from punch penetration test, PLI and MLI which is suggested in this study show high correlation with cutter force measured by full-scale cutting test. The results show that the predicted normal force of a single disc cutter and the experimental error was 10%. Based on these results, it is concluded that punch penetration test is reliable laboratory test for estimating thrust and penetration rates of TBM.
