A tailless or Blended-Wing-Body(BWB) shaped configuration is highlighted for UCAV with low RCS characteristics. The BWB configuration is characterized by its directional static instability and low controllability. To control the directional movement of the BWB configured vehicle, directional thrust vectoring equipment or drag rudder typed control surfaces which utilize the drag differences of the wing can be considered. This paper deals with a BWB shaped configuration using a spoiler and describes the lateral-directional aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle. In addition, it is shwon that the lateral-directional motion can be controlled effectively by using the classical PI control structure. This control law is verified by flight test and showed adequate for the tailless BWB shaped UAV.

In this study. the time varying boundary control using the right boundary transverse motion on the basis of the energy flux between the moving string and the boundaries is suggested to stabilize the transverse vibration of an axially moving string. The effectiveness of the active boundary control is showed through experimental results. Sliding mode control is adopted in order to achieve velocity tracking control of the time varying right boundary to dissipate vibration energy of the string effectively. For the unmoving and moving string at various velocity under various tension the performance of the transverse vibration control using the time varying right boundary control with the suggested control scheme is experimentally demonstrated.

A demand of high bearing capacity of piles to resist heavy static loads has been increased. For this reason, the utilization of large diameter PHC piles including a range from 700 mm to 1,200 mm have been increased and applied to the construction sites in Korea recently. In this study, in order to increase the flexural strength capacity of the PHC pile, the large diameter composite PHC pile reinforced by in-filled concrete and reinforcement was developed and manufactured. All the specimens were tested under four-point bending setup and displacement control. From the strain behavior of transverse bar, it was found that the presence of transverse bar was effective against crack propagation and controlling crack width as well as prevented the web shear cracks. The flexural strength and mid-span deflection of LICPT specimens were increased by a maximum of 1.08 times and 1.19 times compared to the LICP specimens. This results indicated that the installed transverse bar is in an advantageous ductility performance of the PHC piles. A conventional layered sectional analysis for the pile specimens was performed to investigate the flexural strength according to the each used material. The calculated bending moment of conventional PHC pile and composite PHC pile, which was determined by P-M interaction curve, showed a safety factor 1.13 and 1.16 compared to the test results.

In this study, the time varying boundary control using the right boundary transverse motion is suggested to stabilize the transverse vibration of an axially moving string on the basis of the energy flux between the moving string and the boundaries. The effectiveness of the active velocity boundary control is showed through the FDM simulation results. Sliding mode control is adopted in order to achieve velocity tracking control of the time varying right boundary to dissipate vibration energy of the string effectively. Optical sensor system for measuring the transverse vibration of an axially moving string is developed, and the angle of the incident wave to the right boundary, which is the input of the velocity boundary controller, is obtained. Experimental research is carried out to examine the validity and the performance of the transverse vibration control using the suggested velocity right boundary control scheme.

The control objectives in this paper are to move the gantry of a container crane to its target position and to suppress the transverse vibration of the payload. The crane system is modeled as an axially moving string equation, in which control inputs are applied at both ends, through the gantry and the payload. The dynamics of the moving string are derived using Hamilton's principle for systems with changing mass. The Lyapunov function method is used in deriving a boundary control law, in which the Lyapunov function candidate is introduced from the total mechanical energy of the system. The performance of the proposed control law is compared with other two control algorithms available in the literature. Experimental results are given.

차세대 비행체가 갖추어야 할 요건으로 다양한 작동 범위에서 다목적으로 사용될 수 있어야 한다는 점이다. 비행체는 작전시 초음속으로 순항해야 하며, 폭탄으로 손상된 비행장에서도 이륙하여 작동할 수 있도록 짧은 이륙과 착륙 거리를 가져야 하기 때문에 현재 비행체보다 더 큰 받음각에서 작동하여 비행시 뛰어난 기동성을 가져야 한다. 제어력을 향상시키기 위해서 받음각과 동압에 의존하지 않고 큰 제어 모멘트를 제공하는 차세대 방법은 엔진의 배기가스를 원하는 비행 방향으로 제어하는 것으로 이러한 방법을 추력 편향 제어(Thrust Vector Control)라고 한다. 기존 공력에 의한 비행 자세제어 방법은 속도의 2승에 비례하는 제어력을 발생하지만, 실속을 피해야하기 때문에 공기력을 이용한 날개 및 비행체의 받음각에 한계가 있어 비행체의 선회능력을 제한하며 고공에서 저속비행 하는 경우에는 공기의 밀도가 낮고 동압이 작게 작용하여 선회능력은 낮아진다. 그러나, 추력 편향 장치는 공력을 이용하지 않고 추력을 이용하기 때문에 실속에 의한 제한이 없어 큰 받음각(70$^{\circ}$-90$^{\circ}$)으로 선회할 수 있어 월등한 기동성을 발휘할 수 있다. 이러한 추력 편향 장치 중 제트 베인형은 소형화가 가능하고, 하나의 노즐로 수직, 수형 및 횡 방향의 3축 제어를 할 수 있어 많이 사용되고 있다.

Slippage of beam longitudinal reinforcement at beam-column connections is an important cause of damage to reinforced concrete frames under static and dynamic loads, This paper summarizes the results of an experimen¬tal study on the effects of confinements and compressive strength of concrete on the local bond stress-slip cha¬racteristics of deformed bars. I t is concluded from experimental results that, as far as the bond splittmg cracks are restrained by the vertical column reinforcement, confinement of concrete by transverse reinforcement has insignigicant direct effect on the local bond behavior. The ultimate bond strength, however, Increases pro¬portionally with the square root of concrete compressive strength. An empirical model was developed for local bond st ressslip relationslip of deformed bars in confined concrete of different compressive strengths.

It is reported that an intermittently rotating chamber system will improve the ratio of firepower to armament space in the case of mid-calibre automatic guns. However, the parallel index, which is a main component of the system, tends to be torsionally flexible due to the low lateral stiffness of cam followers on the index turret. This may cause the shaft system connecting the turret with the chamber prone to considerable residual torsional vibration so that serious misalignment problems occur during ammunition loading and firing processes. Herein, an electrorhelogical (ER) fluid actuator that can suppress such vibrations and the associated semiactive control algorithm are proposed. By mathematical modeling and computer simulations, the performance of the entire system is proved satisfactory.
