본 연구에서는 동적기계분석장치(dynamic mechanical analysis, DMA)와 시간-온도 중첩법(time-temperature superposition, TTS)을 이용하여 탄소섬유/에폭시 복합재의 장기 성능을 예측하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 단일 진동수 시험, 다중 진동수 시험, 크리프 TTS 시험을 수행하였다. 단일 진동수(single-frequency) 시험과 다중 진동수(multi-frequency) 시험에서는 $-30^{\circ}C$에서 $240^{\circ}C$까지 $2^{\circ}C/min$로 온도를 상승시키면서 $20{\mu}m$ 진폭의 사인(sine) 파형의 하중을 가하였으며 다중 진동수 시험에 적용된 진동수는 0.316, 1, 3.16, 10, 31.6 Hz이다. 크리프 TTS 시험에서는 $-30^{\circ}C$에서 $230^{\circ}C$까지 $10^{\circ}C$마다 15 MPa의 응력을 10분 동안 가하였다. 단일 진동수 시험을 통해 유리전이온도를 구하였으며 다중 진동수 시험을 통해 진동수 별 유리전이온도에서 활성화 에너지와 온도 별 저장탄성계수 선도를 구하였다. 또한 아레니우스 식(Arrhenius equation)을 통해 얻은 이동 인자를 적용하여 기준 온도에 대한 마스터 선도를 얻었다. 또한 크리프 TTS 시험을 통해서는 크리프 컴플라이언스 선도를 구하고 직접 이동 기법을 이용하여 구한 이동 인자를 적용하여 기준 온도에 대한 마스터 선도도 얻었다. 이와 같은 과정을 통해 얻은 마스터 선도를 이용하면 주어진 환경 조건에 대한 탄소섬유강화 복합재의 장기 성능을 예측할 수 있다.

설계성능이 검증된 70 N급 하이드라진 추력기에 대한 성능평가 시험이 수행되었다. 각각의 개발모델 추력기는 추력실 직경 변화에 따라 펄스모드로 연소시험이 수행되었으며, 비추력, 임펄스 비트 및 특성속도 등의 성능변수로 평가되었다. 추력실 직경의 증가와 감소에 따라 비추력과 특성속도가 감소하였으며, 성능평가 결과 표준모델의 성능특성이 가장 우수한 것으로 확인되었다.

In this paper, we present an experimental investigation of the leakage and endurance performances of mechanical face seals in a 75-tonf turbopump for the Korea Space Launch Vehicle II first-stage engine. A mechanical face seal is used between the fuel pump and turbine to prevent mixing of the fuel and turbine gas. However, excessive leakage occurs through the carbon attached to the mechanical face seal bellows. To reduce this leakage, we redesign the mechanical face seal such that the contact area between the fuel and carbon is reduced, height of the carbon nose is reduced, and stiffness of the bellows is increased. Then, we conduct static and dynamic leakage tests and endurance tests to compare the performances of the original and modified mechanical face seals. The investigation of the leakage of the old and new mechanical face seals confirms that the leakage performance is significantly improved, by 80%, in the new design in comparison with the old design. The endurance tests demonstrate that the average wear rate of carbon in the new mechanical face seal is 0.1094 ㎛/s. The service lifetime is predicted to be 4,200 s, which is 28 times greater than the requirement. Finally, we present a new mechanical face seal in a 75-tonf turbopump, and perform a validation test in the real-propellant test facility at the NARO Space Center. Based on the test results, we can confirm that the modified mechanical face seal works well under real operating conditions.

Unstable performance deterioration was found on the performance curve of a small propeller fan with a back plate. To investigate this phenomenon and the effects of the back-plate on the performance of the fan, performance tests and flow measurement using 3-hole pitot tube were carried out. Measurements showed that when the flow rate is small, the radial flow dominates, and when the flow rate is large, the axial flow dominates. Performance characteristic of the propeller fan changes from radial to axial type as the flow rate increases. Unstable performance changes are the result of type change of the flow through the fan.

상용 FFF (Fused filament fabrication) 3D 프린터로 제조된 탄소 단섬유강화 나일론 복합재료 구조의 내부 채움 패턴(Infill pattern)의 높은 공극률은 프린팅 된 구조의 기계적 성능을 결정한다. 본 연구는 프린팅 된 구조의 내부 채움 패턴의 공극률을 줄여서 기계적 특성을 개선하기 위해 사각형 내부 채움 구조로 제작된 Onyx 복합 재료 시편의 열압밀 조건에 따른 시편의 기계적 성능을 실험적으로 평가하고, 가장 우수한 기계적 물성을 유도하는 열압밀 공정 조건(145℃, 4 MPa, 12 min)을 찾았다. 현미경 관찰결과 열압밀 후처리를 겪은 복합재료 시편의 내부 채움 공극률이 효과적으로 줄어듦을 확인하였다. 후처리된 시편의 기계적 성능을 확인하기 위해, 후처리를 하지 않은 대조군 시편과, 후처리 후 밀도와 치수를 동일하게 설정하여 출력한 시편과 함께 인장시험 및 3점 굽힘시험을 수행하여 기계적 물성을 비교한 결과 열압밀 후처리를 수행한 경우 기계적 물성이 효과적으로 개선되는 것을 확인하였다.

The turbo pump of a liquid rocket engine is composed of three main parts: the oxidizer pump, fuel pump, and turbine. Liquid oxygen ($LO_X$) is the working fluid in the cryogenic environment in the oxidizer pump, but tests are usually performed using liquid nitrogen ($LN_2$), which has a boiling point similar to that of $LO_X$ but is comparatively safer and easier to use for the test. In this study, a bearing test rig is developed and its performance is evaluated using a cryogenic ball bearing with $LN_2$ as the working fluid. Verifying the performance of the bearing test rig is crucial for ensuring correct working of the turbo pump unit in the liquid rocket engine. A stable test rig for the bearing in a cryogenic environment makes the bearing technology enhance its reliability. The test results show that the system operates stably and the requirement of performance time of 500 s is met. The test results of temperature, motor speed, and torque are discussed. The developed cryogenic bearing test rig is expected to help in widening knowledge and expanding research on ball bearings in the future.

This study is conducted to evaluate the durability of superhydrophobic surfaces, with a focus on two aspects: contact angle measurement and self-cleaning-performance analysis. Superhydrophobic copper and aluminum surfaces are fabricated using the immersion method and subjected to a rolling wear test, in which a 2 kg weight is placed on a rolling tester, under loaded conditions. To evaluate their durability, the contact angles of the specimens are measured for each cycle. In addition, the surface deformation of the specimens before and after the test is analyzed through SEM imaging and EDS mapping. The degradation of the self-cleaning performance is evaluated before and after the wear test. The results show that superhydrophobic aluminum is approximately 4.5 times more durable than superhydrophobic copper; the copper and aluminum specimens could endure 21,000 and 4,300 cycles of wear, respectively. The results of the self-cleaning test demonstrate that superhydrophobic aluminum is superior to superhydrophobic copper. After the wear test, the self-cleaning rates of the copper and aluminum specimens decrease to 72.7% and 83.4%, respectively. The relatively minor decrease in the self-cleaning rate of the aluminum specimen, despite the large number of wear cycles, confirms that the superhydrophobic aluminum specimen is more durable than its copper counterpart. This study is expected to aid in evaluating the durability of superhydrophobic surfaces in the future owing to the advantage of performing wear tests on superhydrophobic surfaces without damaging the surface coating.

For the evaluation of the mobile robot performance in complex environments, the experimental approach in an actual physical environment has been commonly taken. In the physical experimental approach, however, it is quite difficult to define the proper environment for the evaluation due to the lack of commonly agreed characteristics of the test environment. Particularly the number of combinations of types and physical parameters of the obstacles that the mobile robot is expected to deal with is practically unlimited. In an effort to simplify and improve the effectiveness of the evaluation process, we propose an evaluation method using decomposed environmental elements, where we evaluated the performance of the robot for a small group of simple and decomposed obstacle components, for examples projection and slope, instead of a large group of complicated random obstacles. The paper describes a set of simple obstacle models and performance parameters that we have chosen for the effective evaluation process. As an alternative to the physical experimental evaluation approach, in this paper, we used a virtual evaluation environment where the robot and the physical test environment has been modeled using a commercial multi-body dynamics analysis packaged called RecurDyn.

This paper presents characteristic analysis of underwater bearing for canned type electric water pump. Characteristic analysis of underwater bearing was performed using self-developed performance tester, which capable of torque change, noise change, motor speed change and abrasion loss test with respect to temperature change of underwater bearing. The performance tester can be monitored in real time by designing the control unit using the Labview program. The performance experiment was performed through comparison of the silicon carbide (SIC) and the carbon bearing. From the experiment results, performance of SIC bearing was better than carbon bearing at the abrasion and temperature experiment.
