This paper developed Helicopter Chassis Dynamometer System(HCDS) to perform the bench test of the scaled rotor blade and to design a scaled model helicopter flight test bed and accomplished the scaled helicopter ground test. The scaled helicopter should be checked the relation of thrust and power input to maintain regular RPM by collective pitch angle versus throttle input. It showed hovering performance results of IGE with OGE, the max. F.M. was 0.76 without ground effect. The results of the chassis dynamometer test of scaled helicopter will usefully apply to design the scaled helicopter and evaluate the rotor blade performance.

Wind tunnel test for the 12% scaled model of NREL Phase VI wind turbine was conducted in KARI low speed wind tunnel for $2006{\sim}2007$. The 1st and 2nd test was designed to find out the wind tunnel test method for the blade manufacturing accuracy and surface treatment method by using the composite and aluminum blades. And the 3rd test was designed to study the scale effect. The chord extension method which was used for Bo-105 40% scaled model was adapted for scale effect correction. Test results shows that the chord extension method works well for the torque slope but the maximum torque for scaled model is about 8% below than the real scale model. New correction method to correct this offset was proposed.

To evaluate the mechanical properties of in-service materials, tensile properties measurement using small-scaled specimen has been carried out. Tensile testing specimens with various dimensions, including standard and sub-size specimen specified in ASTM and ISO and small-scaled specimen, were prepared. Tensile strain in small-scaled specimen was measured using micro-ESPI system set up in this study. This system was used in the specimen with the parallel length of 2 mm and in subsequently measuring the strain under tensile loading. From each type of tensile specimen, stress-strain curves were determined. The dimension effect of the tensile properties was investigated comparing the tensile results obtained from standard specimens and small-scaled specimens. It was shown that the tensile strength for the small-scaled specimen is lower by 15% than those for the standard specimen.

In this paper, for a spectrum sensing purpose, we heuristically established a test statistic (TS) from a sample covariance matrix (SCM) for multiple antennas based cognitive radio. The TS is formulated as a scaled-energy which is calculated as a sum of scaled diagonal entries of a SCM; each of the diagonal entries of a SCM scaled by corresponding row's Euclidean norm. On the top of that, by combining theoretical results together with simulation observations, we have approximated a decision threshold of the TS which does not need prior knowledge of noise power and primary user signal. Furthermore, simulation results - which are obtained in a fading environment and in a spatially correlating channel model - show that the proposed method stands effect of noise power mismatch (non-uniform noise power) and has significant performance improvement compared with state-of-the-art test statistics.

In the present study, laboratory pull-out tests with screw anchors are carried out to investigate behavior characteristics of underground structures applied uplift seepage forces. Small scaled pull-out tests in sand were conducted under saturated condition. And then, it was observed that the upward displacement as well as the pullout load varied with spacing of the anchor. Also, analyses have been performed with the aim of pointing out the effects of various parameters on the group effect of the screw anchors.

The dynamic stability of railway vehicle has long been one of the important issues in railway safety. The dynamic simulator has been used as a tool for investigating the dynamic stability of railway vehicles and wheel/rail interfaces. In particular, small scale simulators have been widely used in laboratory studies instead of full scale roller rigs which can be quite costly and rather inconvenient for testing out the effect of diverse design parameters. But techniques for design of a small scale simulator for the fundamental study about the dynamic characteristics of the wheel-rail systems and the bogie systems have not been well developed in Korea. Therefore, a research on the development of a small scale simulator for investigating bogie dynamics needs to be undertaken. The present paper investigates design of a small-scaled derailment simulator and the design of a small scale bogie. The simulator developed can be used to investigate the effect of diverse parameters such as attack angle, wheelbase and cant on dynamic behavior of the bogie and key dynamic performance parameters such as derailment coefficient and critical speed.

This study presents experimental results from the performance test of a scaled reverberation chamber for measurement of sound insulation of panels. Experimental investigations were conducted in various parameters such as tunneling effect source locations, and maximum sound transmission loss. It is evident that the tunneling effect which means the variation with specimen location on the test frame gives rise to more than 3 dB deviation. One of the objective of this study that compares measured results between a real reverberation chamber and a simplified test apparatus, by using a specimen of a sandwich panel. It shows qualitatively resonable agreement from which one can find a potential to provide a design tool.

Applications of scaled telemanipulation into micro or nano world that shows many different features from directly human interfaced tools have been increased continuously. Here, we have to consider many aspects of scaling such as force, position, and impedance. For instance, what will be the possible range of force and position scaling with a specific level of performance and stability\ulcorner This knowledge of feasible staling region can be critical to human operator safety. In this paper, we show the upper bound of the product of force and position scaling and simulation results of 1DOF scaled system by using the Llewellyn's unconditional stability in continuous and discrete domain showing the effect of sampling rate.

This paper reports the results of performance verification tests of the base isolated RC building with the laminated rubber bearings which is manufactured by Dongil Rubber Belt Co.. The shaking table tests were performed using a scaled 3-story model scaled to 1/3 of the prototype RC apartment building. Several major earthquake records were scaled to different peak ground accelerations and used as input base excitations. Through the verification tests, the validity of the applied base isolation device and the response reduction effect against earthquakes are confirmed.

In this study, solution models are proposed to obtain code-compatible ground motion record sets which can be used for both uni-directional and bi-directional dynamic analyses. Besides scaled, unscaled ground motion record sets are obtained to show the utility and efficiency of the solution models. For scaled ground motion sets the proposed model is based on hybrid HS-Solver which integrates heuristic harmony search (HS) algorithm with the spreadsheet Solver add-in. For unscaled ground motion sets HS based solution model is proposed. Design spectra defined in Eurocode-8 for different soil types are selected as target spectra. The European Strong Motion Database is used to get ground motion record sets. Also, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to evaluate the effect of different HS solution parameters on the solution accuracy. Results show that the proposed solution models can be regarded as efficient ways to develop scaled and unscaled ground motion sets compatible with code-based design spectra.
