The purpose of this study is to analyze the variables affecting the effective stroke in the swing performed through 12 weeks of training for golf beginners, and to provide basic data on the effective stroke factors for the golf beginners to settle on the fairway. Twenty subjects were participate in the study (age: 21.35±1.69 yrs, height: 176.75±7.99 cm, weight: 70.70±9.76 kg). All subjects were subjected to a 12-week golf training, and trackman 4 was used in the 12th week to calculate variables affecting the effective stroke during a golf swing. Trackman data was divided into club-variables and ball-variables, and a binary logistic regression analysis was performed to find out the variables affecting effective strokes. In club-variables, high dynamic loft and low face angles were found in effective stroke, and in ball-variables, fast ball speed, large smash factor, high launch angle, and many spin rates were also found in effective stroke. As a result of the binary logistic regression analysis of club-variables, the probability of an effective stroke increased as the club speed and dynamic loft increased, and the probability of an effective stroke decreased as the face angle increased. The influence of effective stroke in the club-variables was in the order of dynamic loft, face angle, and club speed. In the ball-variable, the probability of an effective stroke increased when the lunch angle increased, and the probability of an effective stroke decreased as the lunch direction increased. As a condition to increase the probability of effective stroke based on the results, it is necessary to increase the club speed through high dynamic loft and low face angle during swing through continuous practice. Through this, the probability of effective stroke through increasing the launch angle and decreasing the launch direction will increase.

Downwash from helicopter rotor blades and external winds from various maneuvering make an unguided rocket change its trajectory and range. For the prediction of the trajectory and range, it is essential to consider the downwash effect. In this study, an algorithm was developed to calculate 6-Degree-Of-Freedom(6 DOF) forces and moments exerting on the rocket, and total flight trajectory of a 2.75-inch unguided rocket in a helicopter downwash flow field. Using Actuator Disk Model(ADM) analysis result, the algorithm could analyze the entire trajectory in various initial launch condition such as launch angle, launch velocity, and external wind. The algorithm that considered the interference between a fuselage and external winds could predict the trajectory change more precisely than inflow model analysis. Using the developed algorithm, the attitude and trajectory change mechanism by the downwash effect were investigated analyzing the effective angle of attack change and characteristics of pitching stability of the unguided rocket. Also, the trajectory and range changes were analyzed by considering the downwash effect with external winds. As a result, it was concluded that the key factors of the rocket range change were downwash area and magnitude which effect on the rocket, and the secondary factors were the dynamic pressure of the rocket and the interference between a fuselage and external winds. In tailwind case which was much influential on the range characteristics than other wind cases, the range of the rocket rose as increasing the tailwind velocity. However, there was a limit that the range of the rocket did not increase more than the specific tailwind velocity.

In this study, nonlinear flow-induced vibration(flutter) analyses of a 2-DOF launch vehicle airfoil have been conducted in supersonic and hypersonic flow regimes. Advanced aeroelastic analysis system based on computational fluid dynamics and computational structural dynamics is successfully developed and applied to the present analyses. Nonlinear unsteady aerodynamic analyses considering strong shock wave motions are conducted using inviscid Euler equations. Aeroelastic governing equations for the 2-DOF airfoil system is solved by the coupled integration method with interactive CFD and CSD computation procedures. Typical wedge type airfoil shapes with initial angle-of-attacks are considered to investigate the nonlinear flutter characteristics in supersonic(15). Also, the comparison of detailed aeroelastic responses are practically presented as numerical results.

A CubeSat platform has become a popular choice due to inexpensive commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components and low launch cost. However, it requires more power-efficient and higher-data rate downlink capability for space applications related to remote sensing. In addition, the platform is limited by the size, weight and power (SWaP) constraints as well as the regulatory issue of licensing the radio frequency (RF) spectrum. The requirements and limitations have put optical communications on promising alternatives to RF communications for a CubeSat platform, owing to the power efficiency and high data rate as well as the license free spectrum. In this study, we analyzed the performance of optical downlink communications compatible with CubeSat platforms in terms of data rate, bit error rate (BER) and outage probability. Mathematical models of BER and outage probability were derived based on not only the log-normal model of atmospheric turbulence but also a transmitter with a finite extinction ratio. Given the fixed slot width, the optimal guard time and modulation orders were chosen to achieve the target data rate. And the two performance metrics, BER and outage data rate, were analyzed and discussed with respect to beam divergence angle, scintillation index and zenith angle.

Currently, drones are used in various fields such as transportation, agriculture and military. Especially, drones for military use are developed and utilized in many ways such as reconnaissance and bombing to minimize one's own damages. Nevertheless, they are developed as new weapons of modern types, so it is difficult to use them together with existing weapons. In this study, a drone program for effective bombing of mortar, which is often used in modern warfare, is developed. In mortar, a forward soldier comprehends the location of enemy for its distance and altitude, input them in data computer of launching angle, and applies the result value to cannon to launch. However, the existing method has low accuracy of bombing because observing shall be done within 1km from the target, and measuring accurate direction and velocity of the wind is difficult. Whereas, in the program of this study, the location of target, GPS, direction and velocity of the wind, and altitude are measured through drone. Each digit is used to calculate bombing specification for optimal bombing through the calculating formula of launching angle. In addition, when specifications are input in the program, the calculation is done automatically, so that it can be used in various mortars and shells. With the use of the program in this study, the location of enemy can be comprehended, and bombing specifications can be calculated quickly. It also enables the intensity of the wind to be applied for accurate bombing.

With the launch of Compact Advanced Satellite 500 series of various characteristics and the operation of KOMPSAT-3/3A, uses of high-resolution satellite images have been continuously increased. Especially, in order to provide satellite images in the form of ARD (Analysis Ready Data), various pre-processing such as geometric correction and radiometric correction have been developed. For pre-processing of high spatial satellite imagery, auxiliary information, such as solar zenith, solar azimuth and offnadir angle, should be required. However, most of the high-resolution satellite images provide the solar zenith and nadir angle for the entire image as a single variable. In this paper, the solar zenith and offnadir angle corresponding to each pixel of the image were calculated using RFM (Rational Function Model) and auxiliary information of the image, and the quality of extracted information were evaluated. In particular, for the utilization of pixel-based solar zenith and offnadir angle, pixel-based auxiliary data were applied in calculating the top of atmospheric reflectance, and comparative evaluation with a single constant-based top of atmospheric reflectance was performed. In the experiments using various satellite imagery, the pixel-based solar zenith and offnadir angle information showed a similar tendency to the auxiliary information of satellite sensor, and it was confirmed that the distortion was reduced in the calculated reflectance in the top of atmospheric reflectance.

A liner static and dynamic analysis for a golf shaft, which is made of carbon fiber reinforced composite materials, is presented in this study. Major mechanical parameters of golf shafts such as deflection, torsional angel, frequency of vibration(CPM), and kick point are analyzed by finite element method. The effects of major parameters on the performance of golf shafts are also discussed. The results show that the major parameters of golf shafts are strongly dependent on the material properties of fibers and design pattern of golf shafts. The present results will be useful to design sheet-rolled golf shafts.

In this paper, a linear controller is designed for the longitudinal model of X-33 in TAEM (The Terminal Area Energy Management) phase. The CRA (Characteristic Ratio Assignment) is used as the continuous time design method such that the output response of X-33 control system tracks the reference command. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated through the step response. Also simulation results show that the initial state of the plant is dominantly affected by the poles and zeros of the plant.

This paper finds the optimal staking sequence of the satellite composite structures to minimize severe thermal deformations during their orbital operation using GAs and finite element analyses. Then, the optimal design is reinforced to endure the launch loads like high inertia and vibratory loads that are, usually, smaller than orbital loads induced by space environments. The thermal deformation of sandwich panels was minimized at the staking sequence of [$0_2$/90]s and that of composite strut was lowest at the angle of [0/${\pm}45$]s Also there was no buckling in the compressive loading. By vibration analysis, the natural frequencies of the composite components are much higher than aluminum structures and the expected stiffness condition is satisfied. Then, a composite optical bench was fabricated for tests and all analyses results were verified by structural testing. There were good correlations between two results.
