As a numerical analysis technique to predict the radar cross section of an aircraft, a full wave method or an asymptotic method is mainly used. The full-wave method is expected to be relatively accurate compared with the asymptotic method. The asymptotic method is numerically efficient, and it is more widely used in the RCS analysis. However, the error that occurs when estimating the RCS using the asymptotic method is difficult to predict easily. In this paper, we analyze the allowable limits of physical optics by constructing a wedge-cylinder model and comparing the RCS prediction results between the method of moment and physical optics while changing the edge shape. Finally, this study proposes a criterion for allowable limit of physical optics in the RCS estimation.

In this paper, an analytic solution method is proposed to overcome the numerical problems when the slewing dynamics of hybrid coordinate systems is investigated via time finite element analysis. It is shown that the dynamics of the hybrid coordinate systems is governed by the coupled dual differential equations for both slewing and structural modes. Structural modes are transformed into the time-based modal coordinates and analytic spatial propagation equations are derived for each space-dependent time mode. Slew angle history is obtained analytically by appropriate applications of the boundary conditions and structural propagation is re-calculated using the slew angle. Numerical examples are demonstrated to validate the proposed analytic method in comparison to the existing state transition matrix method.

In the solid rocket propellant combustion, the dynamic phase change from solid to liquid to vapor occurs across the melt layer. During the surface burning, liquid and gas phases are mixed in the intermediate zone between the propellant and the flame to form micro scale bubbles. The known thickness of the melt layer is approximately 1 micron at $10^5$ Pa. In this paper, we present a model of the melt layer structure and the dynamic motion of the melt front derived from the classical phase field theory. The model results show that the melt layer grows and propagates uniformly according to exp(-1/$T_s$) with $T_s$ being the propellant surface temperature.

This paper represents an simplified design method of hybrid composites. The proposed method is very simple compared to conventional design approaches and easy to apply to practical design problems. The method is based on not complex optimization approaches but conventional theories. The equivalent dielectric properties concept and multi-layered dielectric slab theory are an important theoretical background of the proposed method. This approach divide the design domain into several domain which have theoretically different electro- agnetic functionality. Then, the domains are expressed by equivalent dielectric properties. Numerical analysis are performed several types of design candidates. S-parameter test for final design was conducted for validate the proposed approach indirectly.

In this study, the analysis of electromagnetic environment of goheung aviation center was performed. If the test object has restrictions to be tested in indoor test facility, open area test site can be used to perform EMC test. Open area test site shall have no obstacles that can generate or reflect the electric field so as to prevent the measurement result from being influenced by unnecessary field. Goheung aviation center is surrounded by fields, and has no buildings that can reflect electric field, so the center can be a good candidate for open area test site. Ambient noise at Goheung aviation center was measured, and the result show that the center has good electromagnetic environment to perform EMC test for large volume object.

Particulate reinforced composite is composed of hard particles and polymer matrix. This material has been widely applied for engineering industry such as automobile, construction and aerospace. For the safe application, it is important to assess crack resistance behavior. Especially in aerospace industry, crack could cause significant problem when the material is used for solid rocket fuel. Therefore, it is inevitable to estimate the characteristics of the crack propagation. In this study, crack propagation tests were conducted using particulate reinforced composite under crosshead rate 2.54 mm/min in the range of temperature $-60^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$. The strain contour of surface for specimen was generated using digital image correlation method.

KVN 수신기는 22/43/86/129GHz 주파수 대역의 우주전파를 관측할 수 있는 4채널 동시 관측 시스템의 핵심으로 다수의 제어 및 모니터 항목이 존재한다. 대표적인 예로 Synthesizer, Pcal, LO, Vacuum, Cryogenic Temperature 등이 있으며 이와 관련된 여러 인스트루먼트가 21m 전파망원경의 하부단에 위치한 수신기실 내에 분산 배치되어 있다. 이에 대한 효율적인 제어를 위해서는 사용자 컴퓨터 관점에서 두 가지 조건이 충족되어야 한다. 첫째, 물리적으로 분산된 인스트루먼트에 대한 접근 및 변경이 용이해야 하고, 둘째는 단일 인터페이스 상에서 다양한 인스트루먼트를 하나로 통합하는 확장성이 보장되어야 한다. 이러한 요건을 고려하여 KVN은 산업 분야에서 널리 쓰이고 있는 프로피버스를 수신기 시스템의 제어를 위한 기반 인터페이스로 활용 중에 있고, 추가 기능 요구에 효율적으로 대처하고 있다. 본 발표에서는 먼저 KVN 수신기 시스템을 구성하는 인스트루먼트에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. 그리고 이를 효율적으로 제어하기 위한 기반 인터페이스로서 프로피버스 구축 및 활용 현황에 대해 논하고자 한다.

Power transmission shafts in rotary wing aircraft use a hollow shaft to reduce weight. We can apply linear elastic fracture mechanics to predict crack propagation behavior. This paper predicted crack growth life of a hollow shaft with a circumferential through-type crack by finite element analysis. A 2D finite element model was created by applying a torsion and forming elements considering cracks. We defined the initial crack length and performed the finite element analysis by increasing the crack length to derive stress intensity factor at crack tips. We defined the length just prior to the stress intensity factor exceeding the fracture toughness as the crack limit length. We calculated the crack limit length using a handbook and numerically integrated the crack growth rate equation to derive growth life of each crack. The growth life of each crack was compared to verify the proposed finite element analysis method.

In World War II, the solar eruption (solar flare) was revealed to make a significant effect to radar systems. The radio disturbance in February 28, 1942 was due to increased cosmic ray during solar maximum. Since such phenomena had been disclosed, many studies were accomplished on solar flare and solar particle event. Now various researches about the effects of solar flare on the spacecrafts, the airplanes flying across the pole, the radar systems, and wireless communication systems are studied. In this paper we analyzed the relationship between the harmful effect on the wireless communication by the solar eruption and the period of solar activity from the sunspot number data and the solar radio burst data for last 40 years.

APT(Asian-Pacific Telecommunity)는 아시아-태평양지역 국가의 공동이익을 도모하기 위하여 결성된 아-태지역 전파협의체 조직으로, WRC(세계전파통신회의)회의에서의 아-태지역 주관청의 공동이익을 얻기 위해 APG(APT Conference Preparatory Group for WRC)회의를 연간 1회의 비율로 개최하고 있다. WRC-12회의에 대비하여 결성된 APG-12 회의가 2010년 3월 태국 방콕에서 개최되었으며, 전파천문업무 보호 및 22 GHz 대역 달탐사, 38 GHz 대역 Space-VLBI운용대역과 관련된 WRC-11 의제 1.6, 1.11, 1.12 등에 대해 활발한 토론이 있었다. WRC-12 의제 1.11은 22.55-23.15GHz 대역을 달탐사의 관측자료 전송, 명령 및 제어링크 등을 위한 우주연구업무(지구대우주) 용도로 분배 검토하기 위한 의제이다. 따라서 한국천문연구원에서는 국가정책의 일환으로 추진되는 달탐사계획의 향후 원활한 자료전송, 자세링크, 명령을 원활히 수행하기 위해, WRC회의에서 최종적인 규정개정을 함에 있어서 필요한 아-태지역 국가의 공동의견을 창출하기 위한 APT회의에서 주도적인 역할을 담당하고 있다. 본 발표에서는 APG-12 3차 회의에 제출한 우리나라의 기고서 제출 결과 및 동 회의에서의 최종결과 및 향후 대응책에 대해서도 알아보고자 한다.
