Redesign of the mounting system to minimize vibration of a variable displacement engine through computer simulation is considered. A three degree of freedom model is established for an in-line four-cylinder automobile engine with a three point mounting system. The engine mount locations and angles, and isolator sizes are chosen as design parameters. Constraints on isolator deformations and design parameters are imposed. The gradient projection method is utilized for optimization. Simulation studies show significant vibration reduction can be obtained especially at idling speed.

Engine lubrication system is generally affected by vehicle driving conditions; acceleration, braking deceleration, and cornering. The oil supply system such as oil pan, baffle plate, and oil pick-up pipe should be optimized to cope with severe driving conditions. The main purpose of this paper is to understand the effect of the engine tilting angle on the oil supply system using engine tilting test rig. For the purpose, the oil pressure fluctuation and oil aeration in the main gallery are measured at various engine tilting angles. In addition, the oil flow is visualized by using transparent oil pan to investigate the cause of the formation of oil aeration. The test results show there is a strong correlation between the main gallery oil pressure fluctuation and oil aeration. It is also found that the visualization technique is helpful to stabilize the oil supply system at severe driving conditions.

Using the T3 free-piston shock tunnel in ANU, the cavity frequency and flow characteristics of no mass-injection, inclined mass-injection before the cavity, parallel or reverse mass-injection in the cavity are investigated in the case of Mach 3.7 inflow condition. No mass-injection doesn't have the harmonic frequencies but has high amplitude of pressure spectrum at 10 kHz. Inclined mass-injection attenuates the cavity flow fluctuation as disturbing the shear layer reflection at the trailing edge. Parallel mass-injection flow reflects at the trailing edge of the cavity directly hence, increases the cavity flow fluctuation at high injection pressure.

As a new suspension is being designed, the designer should consider that the vehicle has a good ride and handling performance. It is not easy for a yound desigineer to decide the design parameters. In this study, the design process of a suspension system is described. the method of optimized design to achieve the target of vehicle performance from the initial layout to detailed design stage is also described. As a result, the effects of design parameters in the vehicle dynamic performance are mentioned by the synthesized program

In present study, a supersonic inlet for dual mode ramjets or RBCC/TBCC engines with a wide range of flight Mach numbers is designed. A conical variable inlet configuration is chosen for the inlet design. Geometric relations with angles of compression cones and conical shock waves are used for the design of the inlet configuration. The performance of the supersonic inlet is confirmed by the numerical analysis. The capture area ratio is maintained around 100% from Mach 3 to 8 conditions.

The strategy to develop a launch vehicle family by bundling multiple rocket engines of a single type has been proven by SpaceX and their reusable fleet comprised of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy. In this study, we revisit a potential launch vehicle family out of a 35 tonf-class methalox staged combustion cycle engine and evaluate their utility and performance in various space missions. For example, a Korean version of Falcon 9 can deliver 4.7 tons of payload into 500 km SSO in an expendable mode while the payload is reduced to 2.16 tons in a sea-landing reusable mode. A Korean version of Falcon Heavy can deliver 4.4 tons into GTO when launched from the Naro Space Center, indicating that this common booster core configuration can handle Cheollian 2 albeit the high inclination. Once developed, the same methaloax engine can power the first-stage of smallsat launch vehicles and air launch vehicles.

최근의 차량 연비는 엔진, 파워트레인 등 차량의 구성품들을 성능 개선하여 많이 향상 되었으나 연비 측정은 현재도 주어진 모드(LA-4, FTP-75 등)에서 컴퓨터 모의시험 및 다이나모에서 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 차량에 미리 장착된 지리정보데이터와 현재 주행하면서 수신되는 GPS 데이터를 이용하여 약 213Km 영동고속도로를 주행하면서 실제 도로의 연비 향상 방안을 도출한다. 지리정보데이터와 주행하면서 수신한 GPS 데이터 중에서 거리와 고도 데이터를 추출하여 각 구간의 경사도, 주행저항을 계산, 연비향상 알고리즘에 따른 속도 프로파일을 영동고속도로 전 구간에 대해서 완성하고 이 속도 프로파일로 컴퓨터를 이용한 AVL사의 CRUISE 프로그램으로 모의 주행하여 연비를 산출하고 연비 향상 방안을 제안한다.

The object of this study is to find new evalution index for in-cylinder flow characteristics insteady of current swirl, tumble coefficient using steady flow test rig on intake port system. To this end, port flow rig test was conducted on DOHC head varying intake valve lift respectively. Finally combination angular coefficient and inclination angle were introduced as new evaluation index for in-cylinder angular flow characteristics.

In order to improve the performance of the air breathing engines, it is important to maximize the total pressure recovery through air intake. In this study, we investigated whether the Oswatitsch method, which guarantees the maximum pressure recovery for supersonic intake, is effective at hypersonic speed by compressing the intake air with the same intensity at each ramp. The non-linearity of the shock wave normal Mach number at each ramp stage was analyzed by comparing the compression ramp angle and the number of ramp to the inflow Mach number in terms of compressible thermodynamics and the operation limits of the inlet. Based on this analysis, the Oswaitisch technique yields valid conditions not only in supersonic but also hypersonic flight regime.

A vehicle fuel economy is very important issue in view of fuel cost and environmental regulation. The technology development for the fuel economy improvement improved the engine, power train and many components of vehicle. So, the fuel economy is much improved, but up to now the measurement of it tests the given mode(LA-4, FTP-75, etc) within computer simulation program and engine dynamo. In this paper, to deduct the method of its improvement of real road, the test vehicle ran 213Km Youngdong real highway using 3 different algorithms in computer simulation. For this, I extracted the distance and altitude data from received GPS data and calculated the grade angle, road load and accomplished the velocity profiles according to algorithms in all 213Km distance. The vehicle runs in computer with AVL Cruise simulation program using velocity profile. I calculate the fuel economy using AVL Cruise simulation result and propose the Eco-driving method of them.
