달착륙선 등과 같은 특수 목적을 위해 제작된 우주용 착륙선에는 착륙 시 전달되는 충격하중이 탑재장비로 전달되지 못하도록 연착륙(soft-landing)을 위한 충격흡수 메커니즘이 구현되어 있어야 한다. 일반적으로 자동차 및 항공기에서는 실린더와 피스톤으로 구성된 유공압식 완충장치를 주로 사용하여, 피스톤 압축으로 실린더 내부 오일 또는 압축공기가 오리피스를 통하여 분출됨에 따라 유체마찰 에너지를 활용한 충격 흡수장치가 일반적이다. 그러나 이와 같은 지상 장비용 유공압식 충격흡수 메커니즘은 진공 및 무중력 우주 환경하에서 오리피스 기능 상실, 유압유 기화 현상 및 극저온/고온 환경에서의 성능저하 등의 문제점으로 인하여 우주용 착륙선 충격완충장치로 적용이 불가능하다. 따라서 기존의 우주용 착륙선의 대부분은 충격에너지를 기계적인 좌굴 소성 변형에너지로 변환하여 충격을 흡수할 수 있도록 알루미늄 허니콤을 주로 많이 사용하여 왔다. 본 연구에서는 진공 및 무중력 우주환경에서 착륙선 충격완충 장치로 적용이 가능하도록 실리콘 포옴과 스프링을 조합하여 구성하였으며, 충격완충 매체로 유압유 및 공압을 대체할 수 있도록 실리콘 포옴을 후방 사출 성형 방식으로 적용하여 오리피스를 통과한 실리콘 포옴의 변형에너지로 충격에너지를 흡수하게 함으로서 착륙 완충효율을 극대화 할 수 있도록 검토하였다.

In this paper, we conducted high velocity impact test for Carbon/Epoxy composite laminates and proposed advanced method for predicting the absorbed energy of composite laminates. During high-velocity impact test, we discovered loss of projectile mass macroscopically using high speed camera, thus we calculated the absorbed energy of composite laminates by taking loss of projectile mass into account. We proposed a model for predicting the absorbed energy of composite laminates subjected to high-velocity impact, the absorbed energy was classified into static energy and dynamic energy. The static energy was calculated by the quasi-static perforation equation that is related to the fiber breakage and static elastic energy. The dynamic energy can be divided by the kinetic energy of deformed specimen and fragment mass. Finally, the predicted absorbed energy considering loss of projectile mass was compared with experimental results.

In this paper, a system of falling weight impact tester was built up to evaluate the impact energy absorbing characteristics and impact strength of CFRP laminate plates in consideration of stress wave propagation theory. Delamination area of impacted specimens for the different ply orientation was measured with ultrasonic C-scanner to find correlation between impact energy and delamination area. Absorbed energy of quasi-isotropic specimen having four interfaces was higher than that of orthotropic laminates with two interfaces. The more interfaces, the more absorbed energy. Hybrid specimen containing GFRP layer was higher than that of normal specimens.

In the present study, impact tests were carried out to investigate the crashworthy behaviour of the expanded polypropylene under the constant incident energy (100 J and 200 J) with five different combinations of striker mass and velocity. Also, preliminary quasi-static test was performed to obtain basic characteristics of the expanded polypropylene. MTS 858 and Instron dynatup 9250 HV were used for the quasi-static test and impact tests, respectively. In consequence, it was found that the impact energy absorption characteristics of the expanded polypropylene was more influenced by the striker mass instead of the velocity of the striker.

Crash cushions are protective devices that prevent errant vehicles from impacting on fixed objects. This function is accomplished by gradually decelerating a vehicle to a safe stop in a relatively short distance. Commonly used crash cushions generally employ one of two concepts to accomplish this function. The first concept involves the absorption of the kinetic energy of a moving vehicle by crushable or plastically deformable materials and the other one involves the transfer of the momentum of a moving vehicle to an expendable mass of material located in the vehicle's path. Crash cushions using the first concept are generally referred to as compression crash cushions and crash cushions using the other concept are generally referred to as inertial crash cushion. The objective of this research is the development of a compression-type crash cushion by employing the two concepts simultaneously. To minimize the number of full-scale crash tests for the development of the crash cushion, preliminary design guide considering inertial and frictional energy absorption was constructed and computer simulation was performed. LS-DYNA program, which is most widely used to analyze roadside safety features, was used for the computer simulation. The developed crash cushion satisfied the safety evaluation criteria for various impact conditions of CC2 performance level in the Korean design guide.

The evaluation and prediction for the absorbed energy, residual velocity, and impact damage are the key things to characterize the impact behavior of composite laminated panel subjected to high-velocity impact. In this paper, the method to predict the residual velocity and the absorbed energy of Carbon/Epoxy laminated panel subjected to high velocity impact are proposed and examined by using quasi-static perforation test and high-velocity impact test. Total absorbed energy of specimen due to the high-velocity impact can be grouped with static energy and kinetic energy. The static energy are consisted of energy due to the failure of the fiber and matrix and static elastic energy, which are related to the quasi-static perforation energy. The kinetic energy are consisted of kinetic energy of moving part of specimen, which are modelled by three modified kinetic model. The high-velocity impact test were conducted by using air gun impact facility and compared with the predicted values. The damage area of specimen were examined by C-scan image. In the high initial impact velocity above the ballistic limit, both the static energy and the kinetic energy are known to be the major contribution of the total absorbed energy.

In this paper, the microwave absorbing characteristics after the impact of the radar-absorbing structure (RAS) consisting of periodic pattern sheet (PPS) and glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) were experimentally investigated. The fabricated RAS effectively absorbed the microwave in the X-band (8.2-12.4 GHz). In order to induce the damage to the RAS, a low-velocity impact test with various impact energy of 15, 40, and 60 J was conducted. Afterward, the impact damage was observed by using visual inspection, non-destructive test, and image processing method. Moreover, the absorbing performance of intact and damaged RAS was measured by the free-space measurement system. The experiment results revealed that the delamination damage from the impact energy of 15 J did not considerably affect the microwave absorbing performance of the RAS. However, fiber breakage and penetration damage with a relatively large damaged area were occuured when the impact energy was increased up to 40 J and 60 J, and these failures significantly degraded the microwave absorbing characteristics of the RAS.

The purpose of this paper is to predict the shock absorbing characteristics of the aluminum honeycomb in a lunar lander. Aluminum honeycomb has been used for shock absorbers of lunar lander due to its characteristics such as light weight, high energy absorption efficiency and applicability under severe space environments. Crush strength of the honeycomb should have strength to endure during shock energy absorbing process. In this paper, the crush strength, which depends on the shape of honeycomb and impact velocity, is estimated using FEM. Ls-dyna is used for finite element analysis of the honeycomb shock absorber. The unit cells of the honeycomb shape are modeled and used for the finite element analysis. Energy absorption characteristics are decided considering several conditions such as impact velocity, foil thickness and branch angle of the honeycomb.
