A small unmanned helicopter was suggested to replace the conventional spray system. Aerial application using an agricultural helicopter helps precise and timely spraying, and reduces labor intensity and environmental pollution. In this research, a rotor system (SW05) was developed and its lift capability was evaluated. Lift force for the dead weight of the helicopter was obtained at the grip pitch angle of $12^{\circ}$. As the pitch angle increased to $14^{\circ}$ and $16^{\circ}$, the payload increased to 176 N and 216 N, respectively. Compared with SW04 airfoil performance in the total lift, the SW05 airfoil showed nearly the same capacity, but the payload of the SW05 was reduced because of the increased dead weight. A rated flight condition was defined as lifting mean payload of 294 N with the grip pitch angles of $16{\sim}17^{\circ}$ at the rotor rotating speed of 850~950 rpm for the adjusted engine power. The fuel consumption would be 4.8~6.0 L/hr, and the air temperature of cooling fan should be kept below $160^{\circ}C$.

본 연구는 폐수처리용 원심 펌프 설계과정에서 수행하는 3차원 유동해석에 있어서 표면 거칠기를 고려한 해석 결과와 고려하지 않은 해석 결과가 성능 예측에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 수행하였다. 이를 위해 비교적 기하학적 형상이 복잡한 폐수처리용 원심펌프의 표면 거칠기 변화가 유동 해석 결과에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 그리고 실제 해석 대상 펌프를 사용한 실험 결과 값과 해석 결과 값을 서로 비교 해봄으로써 표면 거칠기를 고려한 펌프의 해석 값과 고려하지 않은 해석 결과 값 차이에 대한 정량적인 분석을 제시하였다. 그 결과, 해석 시 표면 거칠기를 고려한 해석결과는 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 함을 보였으며, 표면 거칠기는 펌프의 성능해석에 약 7% 범위에서 영향을 준다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The elastic modulus and the apparent density of the trabecular bone were evaluated from spherical indentation tests and Computed Tomography (CT) and their relationship was quantified. The femurs were prepared for trabecular bone analysis. Embedded with respect to their anatomical orientation, the transverse planes of the trabecular bone specimens were scanned at 1㎜ intervals using a CT scanner. The metaphyseal regions of femurs were sectioned with a diamond-blade saw, producing 8㎜ cubes. Using a specially made spherical indentation tester, the cubes were mechanically tested in the anterior-posterior (AP), medial-lateral (ML), and inferior-superior (IS) directions. After determination of modulus from the mechanical testing, the apparent densities of the specimens were measured. The results showed that the IS modulus was significantly greater than both the AP and ML moduli with the AP modulus greater than the ML modulus. This demonstrated that orthogonality was a structural characteristic of the trabecular bone. The power relationship between the modulus and the apparent density was also found to be statistically significant.

For a nanoscale Cu/low-k wafer, inter-layer dielectric (ILD) and metal layers peelings, cracks, chipping, and delamination are the most common dicing defects by traditional diamond blade saw process. Sidewall void in sawing street is one of the key factors to bring about cracks and chipping. The aim of this research is to evaluate laser grooving & mechanical sawing parameters to eliminate sidewall void and avoid top-side chipping as well as peeling. An ultra-fast pico-second (ps) laser is applied to groove/singulate the 28-nanometer node wafer with Cu/low-k dielectric. A series of comprehensive parametric study on the recipes of input laser power, repetition rate, grooving speed, defocus amount and street index has been conducted to improve the quality of dicing process. The effects of the laser kerf geometry, grooving edge quality and defects are evaluated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and focused ion beam (FIB). Experimental results have shown that the laser grooving technique is capable to improve the quality and yield issues on Cu/low-k wafer dicing process.

A Tsunami damper, which is installed on the outer wall of a nuclear power plant, is usually used as a ventilation window of the machine room, but can serve as a device for preventing flooding of the machine room when large waves flow over the outer wall. The sealing strip, which is inserted between the casing and the blades, plays an important role in maintaining a watertight environment. In this study, in order to ensure an effective watertight performance of the tsunami damper, FE analysis is conducted to compare the contact characteristics of sealing strips with three different section shapes. In the analysis, the casing and the blade of Tsunami damper are assumed to be rigid bodies; the sealing strip is assumed to be a flexible body. The stress, the strain, and the contact pressure are investigated to examine the sealing performance of each model.

As a core component of a hydropower station, hydro turbines play a vital role in the integration of a power station. Research on the technology of hydro turbine is continuously increasing with the development of water electricity. On the basis of one-dimensional loss analysis, for three-dimension design, there are a lot of dimension of the internal flow passage shapes that are determined by experience. Therefore, the effect of the internal flow passage shapes on the performance and internal flow characteristics of a Francis hydro turbine model is investigated in this study. In this study, the small curvature of runner blade trailing edge shape is good for improving the efficiency of Francis turbine. The straight stay vane leading edge is good for suppressing the secondary flow. Moreover, suitable tongue passage shape and stay vane number improve the performance of the turbine considerably.

Wind turbines are in the limelight in the alternative energy industry. However, they face frequent and various problems during operation. We focused on the supervising of the blades of a wind turbine. In this paper, we present the design of a maintenance robot that takes the size of wind turbine blades into consideration, so the general form of the robot is a square with four wires fixed to its vertices and to the nacelle. After the robot is placed near the nacelle, it moves along the blades. We also designed an attitude control algorithm for the robot to maintain its balance. Our control algorithm for the robot consists of roll and pitch attitude controllers and a height controller. Each controller was designed independently and then superposed together. We used simulations to verify our control algorithm.

A cleaner has trouble with too much noise and power consumption. To solve these problems, the investigation for motors, which are the main component of vacuum cleaner, is required. However, it is difficult to analyze the flow by the experimental means because of the high speed of the fan rotation ranging from 30,000 rpm to 50,000 rpm. Moreover it takes much time to perform the numerical simulation for the flow. In this research, it is aimed to analyse the flow through the centrifugal fan which is believed to be a main noise source, by the computational method. The efficiency of the centrifugal fan is affected by friction loss, shock loss and so on. Those losses depend on factors like the velocity of impeller, blade shape and etc. Accordingly, the influence of the shape of impeller on the flow is investigated in this study. The computational analysis was done by changing impeller shapes. The flow around the centrifugal fan is simulated by applying the moving mesh. To verify the validity of the computation results, the air flow rate and the pressure field to the cleaner is compared with the experimental data. All simulations are performed by using commercial code SC/Tetra. The calculated results show good agreement with the experimental ones qualitatively and it is believed to be promising to use computational simulation in the improvement of the vacuum cleaner performance.
