Electro-mechanical actuator system for aircraft has advantages in compactness and its lightweight, compared to the hydraulic actuator system. Hinge line actuator has low air resistance and is suitable for special purpose such as stealth. This paper describes design contents of 10,000 lbf-in class dual redundant hinge line electro-mechanical actuator system for performance test. The control structure was designed to minimize impact of torque fighting. A mathematical model is proposed to analyze and validate the performances of actuator by comparison with experiment results.

A dynamic model for flexure hinge-based compliant mechanisms is derived. The dynamic model of the previous works do not well describe the behaviors of rigid bodies in the compliant mechanism when the length of the flexure hinge is long. In this study, the effect on the length of the flexure hinge is pointed out and then the dynamic model is derived to overcome the length effect. For verification, modal analyses are carried out using the proposed dynamic model and FEM (Finite Element Method). Finally they are compared by the terms of modal frequency. As the result, the proposed dynamic model can be used in design and analysis of the compliant mechanism.

The thickness of original hinge model is changed for structural stability in this study. The front end with the largest deformation of 9.8813 mm or the rear middle part with the largest equivalent stress of 6082.6 MPa is respectively shown at door hinge. The lower part of joint pin head with the largest deformation of 0.17499 mm and the largest equivalent stress of 1540.2 MPa are shown. The advanced model with more thickness and stability is shown to have smaller displacement in half and smaller equivalent stress by 3 times by comparing with the original model.

For application to drag-based propulsion system, the dynamics of a segmented structure with multiple hinges undergoing oscillatory motion are investigated. The side flaps are connected to a centre rod with elastic plates acting as hinges. The hinges bend to only one direction so that the structure behave asymmetrically between the power stroke and the recovery stroke. An analytical model is proposed, which estimates the asymmetric deformation of the segmented structure coupled with hinges. Using the proposed model, the effects of key geometric and kinematic parameters on the dynamics of the structure are analyzed.

The numerical analyses were performed to investigate the curling behavior of the post-tensioned prestressed concrete approach slab (PTAS) under environmental loads. A technique to include properly the boundary conditions of one end of PTAS that was connected to the bridge abutment using hinges was proposed for the numerical model. The applicability of a simplified model not having hunches was also investigated. By using the developed models, the curling behavior of PTAS was analyzed when the foundation settlement occurred. The analysis results showed that the maximum tensile stress obtained from the simplified model involving a simplified hinge connection was very closed to that obtained from a rigorous model. When the slab curled up, the maximum tensile stress occurred in the model including no foundation settlement, but when the slab curled down, the maximum stress occurred in the model including partial settlement of the foundation. Therefore, the design of PTAS should be performed considering those maximum tensile stresses.

This paper studied HART II in descending flight using rotorcraft analysis code based on geometrically exact beam (GEB) model. The present GEB model expressed by a mixed variational formulation could capture the geometrically nonlinear behavior of the blade without arbitrary assumptions. In previous results, correlation of airloads with structural moments for HART II was not as good as blade deflections. However, in present results, predictions of airloads and structural loads are fairly correlated with measured data.

구조물에서의 소음은 일반적으로 볼트, 스냅, 힌지, 용접 등과 같은 체결부에서 발생한다. 이러한 소음을 정확히 예측하기 위해서는 구조물이 갖는 실제적인 동적특성(고유진동수, 주파수응답함수) 해석기술이 필수적으로 선행되어야 한다. 그러나 현재의 동적특성 해석기술은 체결부 특성을 무시하거나 많은 시간을 수반되는 상세모델을 적용하여 해석한다. 본 연구에서는 간단한 요소를 사용하여 체결부 상세모델을 대처할 수 있는 등가모델 개발을 수행하였고 실제모델과의 비교를 통해 타당성을 검증하였다. 또한, Monte-Carlo Simulation(MCS)을 사용하여 구조물의 확률기반 해석을 수행하였다.

The main objective of this study is to develop an discrete optimization algorithm of plane steel frames with rigid using second-order-elastic-plastic hinge analysis which is considering panel zone. Conventional analyses of steel frame are usually tarried out without considering the effect of panel zone deformation on frame behavior The validity of this model is established by comparison without panel zone on joint models is analyzed numerically to demonstrate the importance of using realistic models in steel frame analysis. The objective function is taken as Weight of steel frames and the constraints we formulated based on AISC-LRFD(1994). The validity of the developed algorithm we demonstrate by comparing the result with those of SAP2000. The result of the study indicates that the optimal design algorithm considering of panel zone behavior more economic design than simple steel frame design methods.

Hinge driving type holding and release mechanism based on the burn wire release for application of cubesat is main payload of STEP Cube Lab. (Cube Laboratory for Space Technology Experimental Project) to be launched at 2015. It has high constraint force, low shock level as well as surmounting drawbacks of conventional nichrome burn wire release method that has relatively low constraint force and system complexity for application of multi-deployable systems. In this paper, we have proposed a flight model of holding and release mechanism for the verification of the constraint force and deployment status signal acquisition. To validate the effectiveness of the flight model, launch and on-orbit environment verification test have been performed.

In this study, the seismic fragility curve according to the boundary conditions is created for a two-pylon concrete cable-stayed bridge, and the effect of the boundary conditions on the seismic fragility of the target bridge is evaluated. An analysis model for the target bridge is constructed using Midas Civil, and a nonlinear time history analysis is performed by applying the fiber element, concrete and rebar material models. The boundary conditions between the pylon and the stiffened girder are classified into four types: rigid, unconstrained, pot bearing, and seismic isolation bearing, and the seismic fragility curves are created for each boundary condition. The plastic hinge section of the pylon, the connection part, and the cable are selected as weak members, and the earthquake vulnerability curve is created for them. As a result of the analysis, it is found that the seismic isolation bearing model shows the lowest damage probability in the pylon and the connection part, and the seismic fragility of the cable is less affected by the boundary conditions than other members.
