This paper presents the perspective of the Structural Mechanics program of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) on the damage assessment of structures for the period 2006-2009 when the author was serving as Program Manager at AFOSR. It is found that damage assessment of structures plays a very important role in assuring the safety and operational readiness of US Air Force fleet. The current fleet has many aging aircraft, which poses a considerable challenge for the operators and maintainers. The nondestructive evaluation technology is rather mature and able to detect damage with considerable reliability during the periodic maintenance inspections. The emerging structural health monitoring methodology has great potential, because it will use on-board damage detection sensors and systems, will be able to offer on-demand structural health bulletins. Considerable fundamental and applied research is still needed to enable the development, implementation, and dissemination of structural health monitoring technology.

Penetration of a fragment-like projectile into Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC) was simulated using finite element (FE) and particle formulations. Extreme deformations and failure of the material during the penetration event were modeled with multiple approaches to evaluate how well each represented the actual physics of the penetration process and compared to experimental data. A Fragment Simulating Projectile(FSP) normally impacting a flat, square plate of FRC was modeled using two target thicknesses to examine the different levels of damage. The thinner plate was perforated by the FSP, while the thicker plate captured the FSP and only allowed penetration part way through the thickness. Full three dimensional simulations were performed, so the capability was present for non-symmetric FRC behavior and possible projectile rotation in all directions. These calculations assessed the ability of the finite element and particle formulations to calculate penetration response while assessing criteria necessary to perform the computations. The numerical code EPIC contains the element and particle formulations, as well as the explicit methodology and constitutive models, needed to perform these simulations.

In these days, 1949 revolt of admirals has a variety of evaluations. In 1949, many people thought that revolt of admirals is simply disobedience to Secretary of Defense. Revolt of admirals was considered that Navy was defeated to Air force. At that time, many people didn't put too much meaning this case. But at long last, the confidential documents about revolt of admirals opened to the public. This historic event's value was re-evaluated. Many researches were progressed in USA, On the other hand only some researches were progressed in Korea. So I try to study this topic and discover another meaning. Then, I will apply this lesson that obtained through study to our Korea Navy.

This paper presents the hydrodynamic effect by the journal speed, eccentricity and source positions in order to overcome the defects of air bearing such as low stiffness and damping coefficient. Choosing the two row source position of air bearing is different from existing investigations in the side of pressure distribution of air film because of the high speed of journal and the wedge effects by the eccentricity. These optimal choices of the two row source positions enable us to improve the performance of the film reaction force and loading force as making the high-speed spindle. In this paper, The pressure behavior in theory of air film in high speed region of journal according to the eccentricity of journal and the source positions analyzed. The theoretical analysis has been identified by experiments. The results of investigated characteristics may be applied to precision devices like ultra-precision grinding machine and ultra high-speed milling.

미국 항공우주국(NASA)은 저고도의 공중을 새롭게 구축하고자 도시의 단거리 항공 운송 생태계를 새로운 개념의 도심항공모빌리티(Urban Air Mobility, UAM)을 제시하여 현재 UAM이라는 용어가 전 세계적으로 통용되고 있다. 이러한 패러다임은 우리나라 정부에서도 2025년까지 도심항공교통 서비스 상용화를 목표로 추진하고 있는 실정이며 더 나아가 급변하는 미래 작전환경 및 전장 공간의 확장으로 공중기동·수송능력 확보 필요성이 대두되고 있어 우리나라 군 조직에서도 필요성이 제기되는 부분이다. 즉, 본 연구는 미 공군의 'Agility Prime' 프로그램을 소개하여 군사적 필요성과 군사적 운용방안에 대해 제시하고자 출발한 연구이며 연구의 체계는 도심항공 모빌리티 배경 및 개념, 한국형 도심항공 모빌리티 발전 추세, 미 공군의 'Agility Prime' 프로그램 분석 순으로 구성하였으며 본 연구에 이어서 후속연구로 진행되길 기대한다.

This paper has been presented the dynamic effect by the journal speed. eccentricity and source positions in order to overcome the defects of air bearing such as low stiffness and damping coefficient. Choosing the two row source position of air bearing is different from previous investigations in the side of pressure distribution of air film by the wedge effects. These optimal chooses of the two row source positions enable us to improve the performance of the film reaction force and loading force as making the high speed spindle.
