Forcing at the rotor blade passing frequencies is responsible for the majority of vibration related problems on helicopters. Blade passing frequencies of helicopters are generally in the range 10~30 Hz and the interest modes of the helicopters also exist in the range. By the way, the installation of a heavy sensor at the front extremities of an imported helicopter may change the modal characteristics of the airframe and results in the resonance with rotor passing frequencies. To avoid too large a change in the dynamics of the overall airframe, we determined how to install a heavy sensor through conceptual approach and finite element analysis. The results of a ground vibration test for airframe with sensor mount system clearly demonstrate that the installation design is acceptable dynamically.

Carbon nanofiber exhibits superior and of ien unique characteristics of mechanical, electrical, chemical and thermal properties. Despite of the excellent properties of carbon nanofiber, the properties of carbon nanofiber filled polymer composites were not increased largely. The reason is that it is still difficult to ensure the uniform dispersion of carbon nanofiber in a polymer matrix. In this study, for improvement of the mechanical properties of composites, carbon nanofiber reinforced hybrid composites was investigated. For the dispersion of carbon nanofiber. solution blending method using ultrasonic was used. Dispersion of carbon nanoifiber was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEH). Mechanical properties were measured by universal testing machine(UTM).

본 논문에서는 출력 인덕터 전류의 리플을 저감할 수 있는 새로운 방식의 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 회로는 2개의 풀 브리지 인버터가 연결된 구조로 되어 있으며 하나의 풀 브리지 인버터가 고정 위상($0^{\circ}$)으로 동작할 때, 다른 풀 브리지 인버터의 위상을 조절하여 출력 전압을 제어하는 방식이다. 정상 동작 시, 제안회로는 기존 위상천이 풀 브리지 컨버터에 비해 출력 인덕터 전류 리플이 매우 작고, 2차 측 정류기의 공진 전압도 작아져 출력 LC 필터의 소형화 및 고효율화가 가능하여 대전류 사양에 매우 적합한 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로의 이론적인 특성을 분석하고, 450W 전원장치를 시작품으로 제작하여 그 우수성을 확인하였다.

핸드폰, 노트북 빛 태블릿 PC와 같이 휴대할 수 있는 전자기기의 사용량이 높아질수록 대용량의 배터리를 필요로 하게 된다. 배터리 사양이 높아질수록 대용량의 배터리를 빠르게 충전시키는 어댑터 (Adapter)는 필수 요구 사항이 되었다. 고속 충전을 하기 위해선 높은 전류 공급 능력이 필요하며, 휴대성을 높이기 위해서 사이즈를 최소화하여 설계되어야 한다. 고효율 및 고밀도를 요구하는 시장에 걸맞게, 어댑터 시장 역시 Topology부터 사용 소자까지 많은 발전 중에 있다. 어댑터에 사용되는 대표적인 Topology는 절연에 용이하며 회로구조가 간단한 저비용, 고효율 Flyback Converter 회로가 기본적으로 사용된다. 하지만, 이 구조는 스위칭 주기마다 스위치 양단 전압 및 전류의 중첩에 의한 스위칭 손실이 불가피 하다는 단점이 존재한다. 그 단점을 보완하기 위해 RCD 스너버로 클램핑을 시켜줌과 동시에 변압기의 자화 인덕턴스와 스위치의 기생 커패시터의 공진 현상을 이용하여 스위치 양단 전압 V_DS가 최소화되는 지점에서 다음 스위칭 동작을 수행하는 QR(Quasi-Resonant) Flyback Converter를 사용한 어댑터가 시장에서 주로 보였다. 하지만 QR Flyback Converter 역시 기존 방식보다 유리하지만 이 또한 스위칭 주파수 증가에 따른 한계가 존재한다. 따라서 현재는 영전압 스위칭 (Zero Voltage Switching, ZVS)이 가능한 ACF(Active Clamp Flyback) Converter 회로의 연구 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이때 스위칭 특성이 우수한 GaN-FET를 적용한 어댑터가 시장에 출시되고 있다. 특히, 이 시장에서는 GaN 소자를 적용한 어댑터를 차세대 전력 반도체 적용이라는 마케팅에도 이용되는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a three-level LLC resonant converter using integrated magnetics (IM). Given that the switch voltage stress of the proposed converter is guaranteed to be half of the input voltage, the switching losses can be greatly reduced, thereby benefitting the high-frequency operation. To reduce the volume of reactive components such as transformers, high-frequency driving and planar core are applied. However, two resonant inductors and one transformer are required because of the three-level structure and the limited leakage inductance of the planar transformer for the resonant operation. Therefore, the effect of volume reduction is not very large. In order to solve these drawbacks, this paper proposes a new IM that integrates all magnetic elements used in the proposed three-level resonant converter by using the magnetizing inductor as a resonant inductor. The experimental results are presented by conducting a theoretical analysis of a prototype with 350 W to 800 kHz.

When a wind turbine is designed, the dynamic stability of the system as well as the dynamic characteristics of the main components such as blades, hub, main shaft and tower must be evaluated. In particular, the natural frequencies of a blade, as a main load-generating component, need to be measured and assessed by component level testing. In conventional practice, the natural frequencies of a blade are determined as the measured frequencies near the reference frequencies provided by FE analysis results. But the reference frequencies are also uncertain since designers have difficulty distinguishing the torsional mode shape among the analysis results due to the complexity of its mode shape. So, in conventional practice, the determination of a measured torsional frequency inevitably contains uncertainty. Therefore, a novel method to definitely determine the torsional frequencies from the experimental data itself is necessary. In this paper, a new methodology to measure the torsional frequency of a blade was studied from the perspective of a modal test procedure, data processing method and mode determination logic. Finally, the validity of the method that can measure torsional frequency without reference FE analysis results was verified by applying it to an actual large wind turbine blade

In this paper, we have proposed a magnetic resonant 6.78MHz WPT(wireless power transfer) technique which can be applied to a fixed transmitter and a receiver of varying relative distance and coil alignment, Power transmission characteristics are studied with the relative distance and misalignment ration of coil area between the transmitting and receiving coils. The coils are designed with the size of 60×80mm² by direct feeding method, and the characteristics are derived with the maximum relative distance of 50mm and horizontal area misalignment state of 0-40mm misalignment of coil center axis in the XY plane. The power transmission characteristics are compared between the 3D EM simulation and the measured data, and the power transmission shows larger than -3dB performance with the vertical distance of up to 30mm and 50% area misalignmment ratio. This work showsthe transmission characteristics according to relative distance and misalignment state between the cols and that direct feeding has advantage for the short relative distance and small misalignment ratio.

This paper presents a design approach for passive vibration control to reduce vertical vibrations transmitted to the control unit during hovering flight of a quadrotor drone. Ground vibration test simulation based on finite element model was performed for forced vibration analysis of the quadrotor drone. First, modal analysis was performed to evaluate dynamic characteristics. Forced vibration response analysis was then performed to obtain the steady-state response within the operating frequency range under the hovering flight condition. Furthermore, to obtain the vibration reduction effect, a viscous damping tape was applied at positions that could induce vibrations transmitted to the control unit under the same conditions. Such a passive vibration control approach was investigated. Relevant vibration reduction effect was assessed with respect to the application of damping materials and the attachment position.
