The present study was attempted to investigate flow interference effects and the aerodynamic characteristics of the front and rear wings of a joined-wing aircraft by changing the configuration variables. The study was performed using a computational fluid dynamics(CFD) tool to demonstrate forward flight and analyze aerodynamic characteristics. A total of 9 configurations were analyzed with variations on the position, height, dihedral angle, incidence angle, twist angle, sweepback angle, and wing area ratio of the front and rear wings while the fuselage was fixed. The quantities of aerodynamic coefficients were confirmed in accordance with joined-wing configurations. The closer the front and rear wings were located, the greater the flow interference effects tended. Interestingly, the rear wing did not any configuration change, the lift coefficient of the rear wing was decreased when adjusted to increase the incidence angle of the front wing. The phenomenon was appeared due to an effective angle of attack alteration of the rear wing resulting from the flow interference by the front wing configurations.

The free-wing tilt-body aircraft is researched in the flight performance characteristics for center of gravity (CG) change. All of speed, body tilt angle and center of gravity change are simulated to determine the flight envelope by a non-linear 3-DOF mathematical model. In flight, this aircraft configuration changes by the tiltable empennage. Then, flight dynamics distinguishes from those of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft. Though flight performance and trimmability are studied by CG change, the flight model of free-wing tilt-body aircraft is to reduce the hidden risk and to achieve the successful flight test. It is analyzed the flight characteristics by CG change that distinguishes free-wing tilt-body aircraft from the conventional aircraft.

Recently, research on the morphing wing is an interesting issue to develop the capability of the wing such as improving the lift and reduction of drag during the operation of an aircraft by changing the wing shape from one configuration to another. A more efficient weight reduction of the wing using smart or morphing wing concept can be achieved in comparison with the conventional flaps. In this study, it is investigated the behaviors of the morphing wing using Macro Fiber Composite (MFC) actuators. Generally, MFC is the piezocomposite actuator with the rectangular PZT fiber and epoxy matrix, and uses the interdigitated electrode to produce more powerful actuation in the in-plane direction. Furthermore, it can produce the twisting actuation as compared with the traditional PZT actuators. In the formulation, the first-order shear deformation plate theory is used, and finite element method is adopted in the numerical analysis of the model. Results show the characteristics of the static behavior of the morphing wing according to the change of the actuation voltage.

본 논문에서는 곤충 모방 날갯짓 비행체의 가장 중요한 설계 변수 중 하나인 날개에 대한 파라메트릭 연구에 대해 서술하였다. 추력, 피칭모멘트, 소비전력, 추력 대 전력비의 비교 및 분석을 통해 날개 형상에 대한 실험적 연구를 진행하였다. 힘과 모멘트는 2축 밸런스를 이용하여 측정되었으며 날갯짓 주파수는 홀센서를 이용하여 측정되었다. 날개 형태는 겹 날개 형태를 채택하였으며 이를 통해 Clap and fling 효과를 구현하였다. 기준 날개 형상으로 잠자리의 날개를 선정하였고, 이를 기준으로 가로세로비 및 면적에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 결과적으로, 가로세로비와 면적이 증가할수록 추력, 피칭모멘트, 소비전력이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 일정 수준 이상의 가로세로비 혹은 면적을 가지는 날개를 메커니즘에 적용하였을 때 메커니즘이 정상적으로 구동되지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 날개 형상 선정은 필요한 최소추력을 만족시키는 날개 중에서 추력 대 전력비를 비교함으로써 이루어졌다. 하지만 추력선과 무게중심의 불일치로 인한 모멘트의 발생으로 안정성을 확보할 수 없었다. 이에 안정성을 확보하기 위해 상단과 하단에 댐퍼를 부착한 실내 비행 시험을 통해 날개의 파라메트릭 연구 결과에 대한 간접적인 성능 검증을 수행하였다.

In this paper an approach was described for determination of direction of sliding block in rock slopes containing planar non-persistent open joints. For this study, several gypsum blocks containing planar non-persistent open joints with dimensions of $15{\times}15{\times}15cm$ were build. The rock bridges occupy 45, 90 and $135cm^2$ of total shear surface ($225cm^2$), and their configuration in shear plane were different. From each model, two similar blocks were prepared and were subjected to shearing under normal stresses of 3.33 and $7.77kg/cm^{-2}$. Based on the change in the configuration of rock-bridges, a factor called the Effective Joint Coefficient (EJC) was formulated, that is the ratio of the effective joint surface that is in front of the rock-bridge and the total shear surface. In general, the failure pattern is influenced by the EJC while shear strength is closely related to the failure pattern. It is observed that the propagation of wing tensile cracks or shear cracks depends on the EJC and the coalescence of wing cracks or shear cracks dominates the eventual failure pattern and determines the peak shear load of the rock specimens. So the EJC is a key factor to determine the sliding direction in rock slopes containing planar non-persistent open joints.

An efficient and high-fidelity design approach for wing-body shape optimization is presented. Depending on the size of design space and the number of design of variable, aerodynamic shape optimization process is carried out via different optimization strategies at each design stage. In the first stage, global optimization techniques are applied to planform design with a few geometric design variables. In the second stage, local optimization techniques are used for wing surface design with a lot of design variables to maintain a sufficient design space with a high DOF (Degree of Freedom) geometric change. For global optimization, Kriging method in conjunction with Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used. Asearching algorithm of EI (Expected Improvement) points is introduced to enhance the quality of global optimization for the wing-planform design. For local optimization, a discrete adjoint method is adopted. By the successive combination of global and local optimization techniques, drag minimization is performed for a multi-body aircraft configuration while maintaining the baseline lift and the wing weight at the same time. Through the design process, performances of the test models are remarkably improved in comparison with the single stage design approach. The performance of the proposed design framework including wing planform design variables can be efficiently evaluated by the drag decomposition method, which can examine the improvement of various drag components, such as induced drag, wave drag, viscous drag and profile drag.

Supersonic jet fighter aircraft have several different weapon loading configuration to support air-to-air combat and air-to-ground delivery of weapon modes. Especially, asymmetric loading configurations could result in decreased handling qualities for the pilot maneuvering of the aircraft. The design of the T-50 lateral-directional roll axis control laws change from beta-betadot feedback structure to simple roll rate feedback structure and gains such as F-16 in order to improve roll-off phenomena during pitch maneuver in asymmetric loading configuration. Consequently, it is found that the improved control law decreases the roll-off phenomenon in lateral axes during pitch maneuver, but initial roll response is very fast and wing pitching moment is increased. In this paper, we propose the lateral control law blending between beta-betadot and simple roll rate feedback system in order to decreases the roll-off phenomenon in lateral axes during pitch maneuver without degrading of roll performance.

The shock buffet on a transonic transport aircraft are negative factors that reduce the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. The parametric studies were performed for position of nacelle/pylon to estimate the trend of flow mechanism under the wing that affects shock buffet. To generate external mesh of aircraft configuration that change the position of nacelle, snappyHexMesh provided in OpenFOAM was applied. Implicit density-based solver(ISAAC) was used for flow analysis. The change of nacelle position along horizontal direction dynamically affected the aerodynamic performance of transonic transport aircraft as comparing that of vertical direction. As a result of the parametric study of nacelle/pylon position, it was confirmed that the optimal position of nacelle can be obtained by aerodynamic design.

항공기 운항 시 나타날 수 있는 외부환경 조건은 상당히 가혹하다. 특히 차가운 대기조 건에서 항공기 운항 시에는 미세한 얼음 알갱이들에 의해 항공기의 성능에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다. 기체의 날개 앞전에 얼음이 부착되면 날개의 형상을 변화시켜 비행특성을 저하시 키며, 엔진의 흡입구 앞전에 부착하게 되면 압축기 블레이드의 손상뿐 아니라 성능 및 항 공기의 안전에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 얼음 알갱이들로 인한 여러 가지 상황 중 엔진 입구 로 유입되거나 엔진 압축기 블레이드에 생성되는 얼음 알갱이들로 인한 엔진 성능 변화 추이를 분석하기 위하여 결빙모사장치의 제작을 수행하였다. 결빙모사장치는 FAA에서 정 의한 결빙조건을 만족할 수 있도록 제작하였으며, 결빙모사장치와 기존 액체공기시스템을 이용하여 결빙이 생성됨을 시험을 통하여 확인하였다.
