The most important factor in an aircraft manufacturing is stability and weight reduction. Most of aircraft components are designed with thin plate type to satisfy weight reduction needs. The thin plate is difficult to be machined because it is apt to be vibrated by dynamic force generated in milling process. The most critical factor in machining of aluminum thin plate is width and thickness between stiffeners. So we tested many cases to find out the machinable minimum thickness at different width between stiffeners. And with the data obtained from many tests, this papers suggested the standard width thickness relation that is machinable without vacuum fixture. Machinist will be able to reduce the cost of aircraft thin plate parts by reducing the number of vacuum fixture used by the help of this standard.

Personal air vehicle (PAV) is considered by aviation engineers as a solution to provide fast urban mobility. The purpose of designing a optionally piloted PAV (OPPAV) is to provide an individual air vehicle. The airframe structure is designed with high strength carbon fiber composite to reduce the aircraft weight. This paper presents an overview of sizing process for OPPAV at the conceptual design level. It consists of load analysis, structural sizing and development of efficient design allowable values for composite material. The weight is estimated based on sizing process, including strength and stiffness requirements. The objective of this study is to present a overview of structural sizing procedure and fast tool for preliminary design phases.

The fatigue analysis for cutout panel used for the weight reduction of aircraft has been conventionally performed through the open hole concept using the reference stress and stress concentration factor (Kt). However, in the actual structure cases, the goal of weight reduction might be less meaningful due to the conservative approach induced by the difficulties of extracting the confident reference stress from FE-Analysis in the complicated loading behavior. Therefore a new approach is proposed in order to secure the effectiveness of weight reduction and validate the confidence of the analysis results using the interaction of max-min principal stress at the critical location of open hole edge line.

Crashworthiness design concept in the helicopter development is still under evolutionary stage. Survivability in the event of a crash was remarkably improved and this fact can be recognized by the analysis results on the AH-64 Apache and UH-60 Black Hawk crash accidents. Those two models are the first ones in which the crashworthiness design concept was applied with a full-scale requirement. Here we need to notice that under-design of the system results in unexpected injuries and deaths while over-design of the crashworthy elements result in unnecessary weight and costs. If landing gear system would be verified to have enough energy absorption capability in the specified vertical velocity interval, then design requirements of the airframe, fuel system and seats could be modified positively. In this paper, the right and systematic crashworthiness design concept is reviewed on the assumption that design requirements of some crashworthy elements could be partially tailored.

A significant source of vibration in helicopters is the main rotor system, and it is a technical challenge to reduce the vibration in order to ensure the comfort of crew and passengers. Several types of passive devices have been applied to conventional helicopters in order to reduce the vibration. In recent years, helicopter manufacturers have increasingly adopted active vibration control systems (AVCSs) due to their superior performance with lower weight compared with passive devices. AVCSs can also maintain their performance over aircraft configuration and flight condition changes. As part of the development of AVCS software for light civil helicopter (LCH) applications, a test bench is constructed and vibration control tests and simulations are performed in this study. The test bench, which represents the airframe, is excited using a pair of counter rotating force generators (CRFGs) and a multiple input single output (MISO) AVCS that consists of three accelerometer sensors and a pair of CRFGs; a filtered-x least mean square (LMS) algorithm is applied for the vibration reduction. First, the vibration control tests are performed with uniform sensor weights; then, the change in the control performance according to changes in the sensor weight is investigated and compared with the simulation results. It is found that the vibration control performance can be tuned through adjusting the weights of the three sensors, even if only one actuator is used.

Ti-6Al-4V alloy is a critical strategic metal used in aerospace structure due to the high specific strength, toughness, durability, low density, corrosion resistance. Examples of application of this alloy are airframe structural components, aircraft gas turbine disks and blades. Forming of this alloy is not easy due to its high strength and low formability. However, this alloy shows superplastic properties that allow for large plastic deformation under certain conditions. Combination of superplastic forming and diffusion bonding(SPF/DB) processes of this alloy has been widely used to replace mechanically fastened structures with reduced weight and fabrication costs. In this study, superplastic forming/diffusion bonding technology has been developed for fabricating lightweight sandwich panels with Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The experimental results show the forming of titanium lightweight sandwich structure is successfully performed from 3 and 4 sheets of Ti-6Al-4V.

목표 대상을 치명적이거나 파괴하지 않고 제압할 수 있는 무기를 비살상무기라 하며, 그중 고섬광발생장치는 강한 섬광으로 적의 광학센서를 무력화시키거나 시력을 일시적으로 마비시키는 무기체계이다. 본 연구에서는 고폭화약에 의한 충격파로 인해 발생한 플라즈마를 이용한 폭발형 고섬광발생장치의 형상에 대한 설계 방안을 도출하여 시료를 제작하고 광학센서를 사용한 기초시험을 수행하였다. 또한, 시험결과를 분석하여 설계 변수에 따른 고섬광 효과를 최대화시키는 방안을 도출하고자 한다. 충전가스 종류로 아르곤보다 제논의 경우 2배 가량 광도가 높게 나타났으며, 비활성가스가 광도에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 비교로써 공기보다 제논의 경우 4배 가량 광도가 높게 나타났다. 또한, 화약량이 증가할수록 원주방향으로 전달되는 충격파가 도달할 수 있는 단면적이 증가할수록 광도가 증가함을 알 수 있었으며, 단일기폭보다 이중기폭의 경우 광원이 2배가 되어 광도도 2배됨을 입증하였다.
