This paper introduces the multi-coil eddy current sensor and its characteristic in magnetic material gas turbine rotor. In the past, magnetic particle inspection method was used for qualitative defect evaluation in magnetic material gas turbine rotor. And the ultrasonic inspection method was used for quantitative defect evaluation. Nowadays, eddy current method is used in magnetic gas turbine rotor inspection due to advanced sensor design technology. We developed multi-coil eddy current sensor for the rotor dovetail inspection. At first, rotor stress is analyzed for the determination of sensor position and number. The sensor coils are designed to cover the stress concentration area of rotor dovetail. We select optimum frequency according to material standard penetration data and experiment results. The rotor mock-up and artificial defects were made for the signal detection and resolution analysis of multi-coil eddy current sensor. The results show that signal detection and resolution capabilities are enhanced in comparison to the commercialized sensor enough for the gas turbine rotor inspection. So, this developed multi-coil eddy current sensor substituted for commercialized one and it applied in real gas turbine rotor inspection.

This paper is focused on dynamic modeling and control system design as well as vision based collision avoidance for multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Multi-rotor UAVs are defined as rotary-winged UAVs with multiple rotors. These multi-rotor UAVs can be utilized in various military situations such as surveillance and reconnaissance. They can also be used for obtaining visual information from steep terrains or disaster sites. In this paper, a quad-rotor model is introduced as well as its control system, which is designed based on a proportional-integral-derivative controller and vision-based collision avoidance control system. Additionally, in order for a UAV to navigate safely in areas such as buildings and offices with a number of obstacles, there must be a collision avoidance algorithm installed in the UAV's hardware, which should include the detection of obstacles, avoidance maneuvering, etc. In this paper, the optical flow method, one of the vision-based collision avoidance techniques, is introduced, and multi-rotor UAV's collision avoidance simulations are described in various virtual environments in order to demonstrate its avoidance performance.

Although mostly used in wind turbine market, single rotor wind turbines have problems with transportation and installation costs due to their large size. In order to solve such problems, multi-rotor wind turbine is being proposed; however, light weight design of multi-rotor wind turbine is required considering the installation at offshore or deep sea. This study proposes the systematic design process of the multi-rotor wind turbine focused on its supporting structure with simultaneous consideration of static and dynamic behaviors in an ideal situation. 2D and successive 3D topology optimization process based on the density method were applied to minimize the compliance of supporting structure. To realize the conceptual design obtained by topology optimization for manufacturing feasibility, the derived 3D structure was modified to have shell structures and optimized again through parametric design using the design of experiments and the response surface method for detail design of their thicknesses and radii. The resultant structure was determined to satisfy the stress and the buckling load constraint as well as to minimize the weight and the resultant supporting structure were verified numerically.

멀티로터 비행체는 여러 개의 로터로 이루어진 무인 비행로봇으로서, 로터의 개수에 따라서 트라이로터, 쿼드로터, 헥사로터, 옥토로터 등으로 나누어 진다. 멀티로터는 수직이착륙 및 정지비행과 같은 높은 기동성으로 인하여 다른 무인 비행로봇에 비하여 험준한 산학지역 및 건물이 밀집되어 있는 도심과 같은 지역의 정찰 및 감시 등 여러 응용분야에 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. 하지만, 멀티로터는 불확실한 외부 환경 및 외란의 영향에 쉽게 노출될 수 있어 강건한 자세 및 비행제어 기법의 적용을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 강인제어기법 중 하나인 슬라이딩 모드제어기를 설계 및 임베디드 알고리듬을 구현을 통하여 실시간 실내 비행실험을 위한 시스템을 구성하고, 실시간 위치제어 및 자세 안정화에 대한 실내 비행실험을 수행하였다. 특히, 불확실한 외부환경에 대한 강건한 비행특성을 검증하기 위하여 외란을 삽입하여 비행시험을 통해 성능을 검증하였다.

A multi-point aerodynamic shape optimization technique has been developed for helicopter rotor blades in hover based on a continuous adjoint method on unstructured meshes. The Euler flow solver and the continuous adjoint sensitivity analysis were formulated on the rotating frame of reference. The 'objective function and the sensitivity were obtained as a weighted sum of the values at each design point. The blade section contour was modified by using the Hicks-Henne shape functions. The mesh movement due to the blade geometry change was achieved by using a spring analogy. In order to handle the repeated evaluation of the design cycle efficiently, the flow and adjoint solvers were parallelized based on a domain decomposition strategy. A solution-adaptive mesh refinement technique was adopted for the accurate capturing of the wake. Applications were made to the aerodynamic shape optimization of the Caradonna-Tung rotor blades and the UH-60 rotor blades in hover.

Endoscopes for industrial and medical fields are expected to have multi degree-of-freedom (DOF) motions. A multi-DOF ultrasonic motor we developed consists of a spherical rotor and a bar-shaped stator, and the rotor rotates around three perpendicular axes using three natural vibration modes of the stator. In this study, a multi-DOF unilateral master-slave system for active endoscope using the multi-DOF ultrasonic motor is developed. The configurations of master and slave arms for active endoscope are similar, so that an operator can easily handle the master-slave system. First, driving characteristics of the multi-DOF ultrasonic motor are measured in order to design the slave arm and its controller. Next, the master arm and the slave arm are designed. Then, the unilateral feedback controller for the master-slave system is developed. Finally, the motion control tests of rotor are conducted. As a result, the possibility of the endoscope is confirmed.

본 연구는 터렛 서보 시스템에서 사용되는 고가의 절대형 엔코더를 대체하기 위해서 멀티-턴 가능한 센서리스 위치제어기를 구현하였다. 센서리스 제어를 위해서는 모터의 위치 정보가 필수적이다. 따라서, 터렛 서보시스템에서 사용되는 영구자석형 동기 전동기의 수학적 모델로부터 자속 추정기를 구성하였다. 자속 추정기로부터 회전자 자속을 계산하여 회전자의 속도와 위치 정보를 얻었다. 제로-크로싱 기법을 사용하여, 추정한 회전자 자속이 1회전 할 때마다 하나의 펄스를 생성하여 멀티-턴 횟수를 측정하였다. 모의실험과 실험을 통해 제안한 방법의 유용함을 확인하였다.
