Basic characteristics of wheel brake accumulator for aircraft is studied. Wheel brake accumulator maintains the braking pressure for parking mode, and also it supplies the hydraulic pressure to the wheel brake system for emergency mode. The design requirements of wheel brake accumulator are analyzed and the initial sizing is conducted. A wheel brake accumulator consists of a cylinder and a brake control module, and the basic configuration and detail components are presented. Again, structural static analysis of vessel is performed with NASTARN/PATRAN for preliminary design.

Modeling of thick composite structures for finite element analysis is relatively complicated. 2-D plane elements may cause inaccurate result since the plane stress condition cannot be applicable in these structures. Therefore a 3-D modeling should be used. However, the difficulty to model all the layers with different material properties and ply orientation arise in this case. In this paper, an equivalent modeling is proposed and numerically tested for analysis of thick composite structures. By grouping layers with same material and ply orientation, number of elements through the thickness is remarkably reduced and still the result is close enough to the one from a detail finite element model. MSC/NASTRAN and PATRAN are used for the analysis. The proposed modeling technique has been applied for analysis of composite rotor hub system designed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute(KARI). Using the proposed equivalent modeling technique, we could conduct stress analysis for the hub system and check the safety factor of each part.

In this work, tool holder system has been designed and builted to measure cutting forces in diamond turning. This system design includes a 3-component piezo-electric tranducer. Initial experiments with tool holder system included verification of its predicted dynamic characteristics as well as a detailed study of cutting parameters. Tool holder system is modeled by considering the element dividing, material properties, and boundary conditions using MSC/PATRAN. Mode and frequency analysis of structure is simulated by MSC/NASTRAN, for the purpose of developing the effective design. Many cutting experiments have been conducted on 6061-T6 aluminum. Tests have involved investigation of velocity effects, and the effects of depth and feedrate on tool force. Forces generally increase with increasing depth of cut. Increasing feedrate does not necessarily lead to higher forces.

Springs are widely utilized in machine element. To find out stiffness of frustum-shaped coil spring, the space beam theory using the finite element method is adopted in this paper. In three dimensional space, a space frame element is a straight bar of uniform cross section which is capable of resisting axial forces, bending moments about two principal axes in the plane of its cross section and twisting moment about its centroidal axis. The corresponding displacement degrees of freedom are twelve. To find out load vector of coil spring subjected to distributed compression. principle of virtual work is adapted. And this theory was programming using MATLAB software. To compare FEM using MATLAB software was applied MSC. Nastran software. The geometry model for MSC. Patran was produced by 3-D design modeling software. Finite element model was produced by MSC. Patran. Finite element was applied tetra (CTETRA) having 10 node. The analysis results of the MATLAB and MSC. Nastran are fairly well agreed with those of various experiments. Using MATLAB program proposed in this paper and MSC. Nastran, spring constants and stresses can be predicted by input of few factors.

A computational investigation has been carried out to study the heat transfer characteristics of jet vane assembly used for the thrust vector control(TVC) of a vertical launch motor. In this study, the coefficients of convective heat transfer on the jet vane are calculated using the solutions of thermal boundary-layer equation and several semi-empirical equations. The calculation of 3-dimensional temperature distribution for the jet vane assembly was performed using the softwares called PATRAN and ABAQUS. The accuracy of the present numerical method is verified by comparing with the measured and calculated temperatures within jet vane shaft. The temporal variation of jet vane temperatures for three deflection angles(0o, 12.5o, 25o) was discussed.

In our preceding study, we reported that the use of light, composite-material wings in long-endurance Solar-Powered UAVs is a critical factor. Ribs are critical components of wings, which prevent buckling and torsion of the wing skin. This study was undertaken to design and manufacture optimal composite ribs. The ribs were manufactured by applying laminated-layer patterns and shapes, considering the anisotropic properties of the composite material. Through the finite element analysis using the MSC Patran/Nastran, the maximum load and the displacement shape were identified. Based on the study results measured by structural tests, we present an optimal design of ribs.

FPSO is widely used to develop deep sea oil fields and HHI has constructed ten(10) FPSOs. During these constructions, relevant structural design criteria such as yielding, buckling, fatigue, collision and impact strength were applied to verify structural safety. To apply the buckling strength evaluation for structures, the critical buckling stresses and applied stresses of relevant panels should be calculated. The plate and stiffened panels are to be idealized, which are needed much time and efforts by designers. Therefore, program development is necessary in order to evaluate the buckling strength conveniently and accurately. In this study, the buckling strength assessment system by using offshore code, DNV-RP-C201 was developed under MSC/PATRAN, pre-post program of finite element method. Graphic user interface program is written in MSC/PATRAN PCL functions. Source program to evaluate the buckling strength is developed in FORTRAN programming languages. The developed program is verified by comparing with the results of the Nauticus Hull developed by DNV Classification Society, and applied to the marine construction project conducted by Hyundai Heavy Industries LTD.

In addition, tool holder system is verified by vibration test using accelerometer. Many cutting experiments have been conducted on 6061-T6 aluminum. Tests have involved investigation of velocity effects, and the effects of depth and feedrate on tool force. Cutting velocity has been determined to have negligible effects between 4 and 21㎧.(6) Forces generally increase with increasing depth of cut. Increasing feedrate does not necessarily lead to higher forces. Results suggest that a sample model may not be sufficient to describe the forces produced in the diamond turning process.

In this paper, we propose a method that directly converts 3D CAD files for handheld phones designed by a commercial CAD S/W, PATRAN, to FDTD modeling with 1mm resolution. To qualify the accuracy of this method, we compared the calculation of radiation pattern using 3D transient far zone transformation with the measured results by gain comparison method in anechoic chamber and the difference is less than 0.5 dB. The calculation of magnetic field distributions on the front of handheld phones has been done to find a factor contributes to SAR. The result showed up the H-field in the width direction of the phone gives more dominant effect than the field in the length or inside to the front direction.
