  • 본 연구에서는 horizontal clinostat과 원심분리 방법의 이용으로 각각 저중력 상태($\mu$G)와 고중력 상태(3G)를 유도하여, 중력장의 변화가 양서류 수정란의 초기 형태 형성에 미치는 영향을 북방산개구리(Rano dybows비름를 대상으로 조사하였다. 중력장의 변화는 첫번째 수평 분열인 제3분열면의 위치에 영향을 미쳤다. 즉 저중력 상태에서는 분열면이 적도면 근처에서, 또 고중력 상태에서는 분열면이 동물극 근처에서 형성되었다. 이와 같은 변화는 포배기로 이어져 할강의 위치와 동물극 정단 세포층 수에 영향을 미쳤다. 즉 저중력에 노출된 포배는 정상배(1G)에 비해 할강이 중앙에 위치했으며 동물극 정단의 세포층 수가 증가하는 반면 고중력에 노출된 포배는 할강이 보다 동물극 폭에 위치했으며 동물극 정단의 세포층 수도 감소하였다. 그러나 낭배기에 도달하면 동물극 정단 세포층 수의 차이는 정상 상태로 조절되었다. 한편 중력장의 변화는 낭배기에 이르는 발생 속도와 원구상순부의 위치를 변경시켰다. 낭배기 이후의 발생 단계에서 중력에 의한 변화로는 tail fin circulation(stage 22)시기의 머리크기의 변화를 들 수 있다. 이상의 결과로 무미 양서류의 초기 형태 형성은 중력장에 의해 변형될 수 있으며 이러한 변화는 발생이 진행됨에 따라 조절되는 것으로 보인다.

  • In the extreme conditions of launch vehicle in a space, such as cryogenic temperature and low-gravity environment, the mass gauging of remaining propellants becomes a difficult problem. Pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) method is one of the attractive mass gauging methods under low-gravity due to its simplicity and reliability. PVT gauging experiment with various mass flow rates of helium injection is carried out with the experimental apparatus creating cryogenic homogeneous condition as the condition of low-gravity. Experimental results are analyzed by a novel PVT gauging analysis method which considers all instantaneous changes of pressure and temperature in the ullage volume with small time intervals. It is observed that the gauging error from the novel PVT gauging analysis is -0.11% with 2 slpm mass flow rate of helium injection.

  • Translation induced by the field-gradient force is being observed for a single ferromagnetic iron grain and a ferrimagnetic grain of a ferrite sample ($CuFe_2O_4$). From measurements on the translation, precise saturated magnetization of $M_S$ is possible for a single grain. The method is based on the energy conservation rule assumed for the grain during its translation and the grain is translated through a diffuse area under microgravity conditions. The results of the two materials indicate that a field-induced translation of grain bearing spontaneous moment is generally determined by a field-induced potential $-mM_SH(x)$ where m denotes the mass of sample. According to the above translations, the detection of $M_S$ is not interfered by any signals from the sample holder. The $M_S$ measurement does not require m value. By observing translations resulting from fieldinduced volume forces, the magnetization of a single grain is measurable irrespective of its size; the principle is also applicable to measuring susceptibility of diamagnetic and paramagnetic materials.

  • Scientists at the International Space Station have been studying space life sciences to prepare for future manned space explorations, and require experimental specimen such as rodents for mass measurement. However, it is challenging to use mass measurement systems in space owing to the errors caused by factors such as mechanical-electronic noise. Therefore, to minimize the measurement errors, we propose a new algorithm called multiple calibration, which divides the mass range and calculates the sample weight by using the correction equation of each interval. We performed tests to evaluate and compare the performance of the proposed method to that of normal methods. As a result, the measurement accuracy improved by over two times using the multiple calibration method. Furthermore, we conducted mass measurements on various samples and confirmed that our method is valid for mass measurements.

  • The movement of bone fluid from the region of the bone vasculature through the canaliculi and the lacunae of the surrounding mineralized tissue accomplishes three important tasks. First it transports nutrients to the osteocytes in the lacunae buried in the mineralized matrix. Second, it carries away the cell waste. Third, the bone fluid exerts a force on the cell process, a force that is large enough for the cell to sense. This is probably the basic mechanotrasduction mechanism in bone, the way in which bone senses the mechanical load to which it is subjected. The mechanism of bone fluid flow are described below with particular emphasis on mechanotransduction. Also described is the cell to cell communication by which higher frequency signals might be transferred, a potential mechanism in bone by which the small whole tissue strain is amplified so the bone cells can respond to it. One of the conclusions is that higher frequency low amplitude strains can maintain bone as effectively as low frequency low amplitude strains can maintain bone as effectively as low frequency high amplitude strains. This mechanism has many similarities with the mechanotransduction of acoustical signals in the ear. These conclusion leads to a paradigm shift in how to treat osteoporosis and how to cope with microgravity.

  • 연료농도에 따른 대향류 화염구조의 변화를 조사하고 수치법을 검증하기 위해, 축대칭 메탄-공기 대향류화염을 모사하였다. 변형률 $a_g=20,\;60,\;90\;s^{-1}$과 연료 중 메탄의 몰분율 $x_m=20,\;50,\;80\%$를 수치매개변수로 하여, 변형율과 연료농도에 따라 온도분포, 닥트 중심축의 온도분포와 축방향 속도의 분포를 계산하였다. 축대칭 모사는 혼합분율 연소모델을 채용한 FDS로 수행하였고, 계산결과를 구체적 화학반응을 포함한 1차원 화염코드 OPPDIF의 계산결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 조사한 모든 변형율과 연료농도에서 축대칭 모사의 온도 및 축방향 속도 분포가 1차원 계산결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 연료농도가 증가하면 화염의 두께와 최고온도가 증가하고 반경이 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

  • Experiments were conducted to clarify role of the outermost edge flame on low-strain-rate flame extinction in buoyancy-suppressed non-premixed methane flames diluted with He and $N_2$. The use of He curtain flow produced a microgravity level of $10^{-2}-10^{-3}g$ in $N_2$- and He-diluted non-premixed counterflow flame experiments. The critical He and $N_2$ mole fractions at extinction with a global strain rate were examined at various burner diameters (10, 20, and 25 mm). The results showed that the extinction curves differed appreciably with burner diameter. Before the turning point along the extinction curve, low-strain-rate flames were extinguished via shrinkage of the outermost edge flame with and without self-excitation. High-strain-rate flames were extinguished via a flame hole while the outermost edge flame was stationary. These characteristics could be identified by the behavior of the outermost edge flame. The results also showed that the outermost edge flame was not influenced by radiative heat loss but by convective heat addition and conductive heat losses to the ambient He curtain flow. The numerical results were discussed in detail. The self-excitation before the extinction of a low-strain-rate flame was well described by a dependency of the Strouhal number on global strain rate and normalized nozzle exit velocity.

  • Flame spread experiments of a fuel droplet array were performed using a microgravity environment. N-decane, 1-octadecene, and the blends (50% : 50% vol.) of these fuels were used and the experiments were conducted at pressures up to 5.0 MPa, which are over the critical pressure of these fuels. Observations of the flame spread phenomenon were conducted for OH radical emission images recorded using a high-speed video camera. The flame spread rates were calculated based on the time history of the spreading forehead of the OH emission images. The flame spread rate of the n-decane droplet-array decreased with pressure and had its minimum at a pressure around half of the critical pressure and then increased again with pressure. It had its maximum at a pressure over the critical pressure and then decreased gradually. The pressure dependence of flame spread rate of 1-octadecene were similar to those of n-decan, but the magnitude of the spread rate was much smaller than that of n-decane. The variation of the flame spread for the blended fuel was similar to that of n-decane in the pressure range from atmospheric pressure to near the critical pressure of the blended fuel. When the pressure increased further, it approached to that of 1-octadecene. Numerically estimated gas-liquid equilibrium states proved that almost all the fuel gas which evaporated from the droplet at ordinary pressure consisted of n-decane whereas near and over the critical pressure, the composition of the fuel gas was almost the same as that of the liquid phase, so that the effects of 1-octadecene on the flame spread rate was significant.

  • 이 논문에서 중력이상에서 광역이상과 잔여이상을 분리하는 문제를 다루었다. 지구통계학의 한 가지 방법인 인자크리깅 기법을 이용하여 공간필터링에 적용하였다. 이 방법은 일반적으로 광역이상은 공간적으로 큰 규모의 상관관계를 가지고 잔여이상은 좁은 지역에서 높은 상관관계를 가진다는 가정에서 출발하였다. 크리깅 방법의 하나인 인자크리깅(Factorial kriging)을 적용하기 위하여 영향 반경이 큰 지역과 작은 지역에 적합한 서로 다른 베리오그램 모델을 적용하여 각각을 광역이상과 잔여이상으로 구분하였다. 이 방법의 적용가능성을 검증하기 위하여 한 방향으로 증가하는 경향을 가정한 광역이상에 단일 이상체를 가정한 잔여이상이 더해진 합성 모델에 대하여 적용하였다. 베리오그램 모델은 각각 광역이상과 잔여이상을 나타내는 두개의 서로 다른 베리오그램 모델의 합으로 근사할 수 있었다. 따라서 서로 다른 두개의 베리오그램 모델에 대하여 인자 크리깅을 이용한 공간필터링을 적용한 결과 광역이상과 잔여이상을 구분할 수 있다. 이 방법을 폐갱도가 존재하는 지역에서의 고정밀중력탐사 자료에서 적용하여 잔여이상을 추출하였고, 다항식 접합법의 결과와도 비교하였다. 이 연구를 통하여 인자크리깅을 이용한 공간필터링 방법이 중력이상에서 광역이상과 잔여이상을 분리해 낼 수 있는 한 가지 방법이 될 수 있음 보였다.

  • KSR-III(Korea Sounding Rocket - III), which is being developed by Space Technology R&D Division of KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) will be launched in late 2002. It is a three-stage, liquid propellant rocket which can reach 250 km altitude and will carry out observation of ozone layer and scientific experiments, such as microgravity experiment, and atmospheric measurement. KSR-III is believed to be an intermediate to the launch vehicle capable of carrying a satellite to its orbit. Space Test Department of KARI performed GVT(Ground Vibration Test) fer KSR-III EM at Rocket Test Building of KARI. GVT is very important for predicting the behavior of rocket in its operation, developing flight control program and performing aerodynamic analysis. This paper gives an introduction of rocket GVT configuration and information on test procedures, techniques and results of It. In this test. to simulate free-free condition, test object hung in the air laterally by 4 bungee cords specially devised. For the excitation of test object, pure random signal by two electromagnetic shakers was used and total 22 frequency response functions were achieved. Polyreference parameter estimation was performed to identify the modal parameters with MIMO(Multi-Input-Multi-Output) method. As the result of the test, low frequency mode shapes and modal parameters below 60Hz were identified
