In this paper such system is developed for the multi-disciplinary computation and design; aerodynamics elasticity, and radio frequency stealth. Common data base of geometry and structured grids is generated and used for aerodynamic, structural and eletromagnetics analysis. The Navier-Stokes CFD, FEM, and CEM technique are used for aerodynamic, structural, and RF stealth computations respectively.

The Airship which uses light gases(Helium) can afford to be managed safely, and economically. In this paper, it executed Airship aerodynamic design using Theory of the Airship shape. With the change of main design factor, aerodynamic coefficients were investigated by FLUENT and the shape of the Airship which has low drag was chosen. For low drag coefficient of the Airship, the theory of traditional Airship shape was used. The structural analysis of the Airship is executed by ANSYS.

Nowadays, non-pollution energy sources have been strongly needed because of the exhaustion of fossil fuels and serious environmental problems. Because wind energy can be enormously obtained from natural atmosphere, this type of energy has lots of advantages in a economic and pollution point of view. This study has established the aerodynamic and structural design procedure of the rotor blade with an appropriate aerodynamic performance and structural strength for the 500㎾ medium class wind turbine system. The aerodynamic configuration of the rotor blade was determined by considering the wind condition in the typical local operation region, and based on this configuration aerodynamic performance analysis was performed. The rotor blade has the shell-spar structure based on glass/epoxy composite material and is composed of shank including metal joint parts and blade. Structural design was done by the developed design program in this study and structural analysis, for instance stress analysis, mode analysis and fatigue life estimation, was performed by the finite element method. As a result, a medium scale wind turbine rotor blade with starting characteristics of 4m/s wind speed, rated power of 500㎾ at 12m/s wind speed and over 20 years fatigue life has been designed.

Aerodynamic shape design of the Mid-sized Aerostat was performed with computational fluid dynamics. Design procedure included determination of hull volume and length, hull shape, tailfin configuration with anhedral and location, tailfin section. For aerodynamic analysis, three dimensional Navier-Stokes equations were applied with Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model. During design procedure, static moment derivatives were mainly considered for the stability of aerostat and structural limitations were also considered for practical application of the designed shape. Aerodynamic analysis of the designed aerostat was carried out and aerodynamic characteristics were compared with those of the TCOM 71m aerostat, one of the most successful commercial aerostats. It was found that the designed KARI Mid-sized Aerostat had better stability characteristics compared to the TCOM 71m aerostat.

In this study, a numerical analysis based on CFD methods has been conducted to predict the aerodynamic coefficients and aerodynamic loads of KSLV-II configuration designed at the system design phase. By the effects of exclusion of engine cowls of prior configuration, axial force and normal force decreased and center of pressure was much moved to the nose direction. Also, aerodynamic loads at flight and on the launch pad were predicted for structural load analysis. The computed results will be used for mission analysis and structural analysis at the next design phase.

This study proposes a development for the l-kW class small wind turbine system, which is applicable to relatively low wind speed region like Korea and has the variable pitch control mechanism. In the aerodynamic design of the wind turbine blade, parametric studies were carried out to determine an optimum aerodynamic configuration which is not only more efficient at low wind speed but whose diameter is not much larger than similar class other blades. A light composite structure, which can endure effectively various loads, was newly designed. In order to evaluate the structural design of the composite blade, the structural analysis was performed by the finite element method. Moreover both structural safety and aerodynamic performance were verified through the prototype test.

In recent years, wind energy has been the world's fastest growing source of energy. This paper describes the structural design and analysis of composite blade for 2 kW-level HAWT (horizontal axis wind turbine). The aerodynamic design and force, which are required to design and analyze a composite blade structurally, are calculated through BEMT(blade element momentum theory) implemented in public code PROPID. To obtain the equivalent material properties of filament wound composite blades, the rule-of-mixture is applied using the basic material properties of fiber and matrix, respectively. Lay-up sequence, ply thickness and ply angle are designed to satisfy the loading conditions. Structural analysis by using commercial software ABAQUS is performed to compute the displacement and strength ratio of filament wound composite blades.

In this work, a manufacturing and structural test of 1kW class horizontal axis wind turbine blade using natural-fiber composite was performed. The aerodynamic design of blade was performed after investigation on design requirement. The structural design load was investigated after aerodynamic design of blade. And also, structural design of blade was carried out. The structural design of blade was carried out using the simplified methods such as the netting rule and the rule of mixture applied to composite. The structural safety of the designed blade structure is investigated through the various load cases, stress, deformation and buckling analyses using the FEM method. Finally, the blade manufacturing and structural test using natural composite was carried out.

Tall buildings have been traditionally designed to be symmetric rectangular, triangular or circular in plan, in order to avoid excessive seismic-induced torsional vibrations due to eccentricity, especially in seismic-prone regions like Japan. However, recent tall building design has been released from the spell of compulsory symmetric shape design, and free-style design is increasing. This is mainly due to architects' and structural designers' challenging demands for novel and unconventional expressions. Another important aspect is that rather complicated sectional shapes are basically good with regard to aerodynamic properties for crosswind excitations, which are a key issue in tall-building wind-resistant design. A series of wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulation have been carried out to determine aerodynamic forces and wind pressures acting on tall building models with various configurations: corner cut, setbacks, helical and so on. Dynamic wind-induced response analyses of these models have also been conducted. The results of these experiments have led to comprehensive understanding of the aerodynamic characteristics of tall buildings with various configurations.
