This paper developed Helicopter Chassis Dynamometer System(HCDS) to perform the bench test of the scaled rotor blade and to design a scaled model helicopter flight test bed and accomplished the scaled helicopter ground test. The scaled helicopter should be checked the relation of thrust and power input to maintain regular RPM by collective pitch angle versus throttle input. It showed hovering performance results of IGE with OGE, the max. F.M. was 0.76 without ground effect. The results of the chassis dynamometer test of scaled helicopter will usefully apply to design the scaled helicopter and evaluate the rotor blade performance.

Small-scaled Rotor Test facility(GSRTS, General Small-scaled Rotor Test Facility) in KARI could not use the test because facility aging and parts discontinued. Also in order to perform a joint international research, GSRTS modifications should be needed. So requirements of GSRTS modifications were established and according to the requirements, GSRTS modifications were conducted. Facility operation test, 6-component fixed balance calibration, Small-scaled OLS rotor performance test were performed to verify the results of GSRTS modifications. Reasonable results were obtained in comparison to calculation results. Then GSRTS ready was completed to conduct international collaborative research and wind tunnel test.

The ground integration test of Smart UAV has been performed according to the flight test plan. The flight test of full scaled model will be performed followed by 4 DOF ground rig test and a tethered hover test. Smart UAV is the first indigenous tiltrotor aircraft which can fly with fast cruise speed and take off or land vertically. In order to prove the flight control law of Smart UAV, the 40% scaled airplane was developed and have been tested. During flight test of small scaled model, many unique and unexpected problems occurred. After clearing these problems, fully automatic flight test was performed successfully. The experiences about many trouble shooting and resolving the problems would be basic material to avoid the unexpected but similar flight test problems hidden behind of the full scaled Smart UAV. This paper presents the detailed procedures of trouble shootings to solve the unique problems which occurred during the flight test of small scaled tiltrotor UAV.

The critical speed of railway bogie is very important in terms of the verification of the vehicle design procedure and safety. The dynamic performance of bogie is tested on the railway roller rig in a laboratory in place of field testing on track. But, the testing on the full scale roller rig caused many problems relating to test costs, test time and has the difficulty in test condition setup. To overcome these problems, scaled models were used in the filed of railway vehicle design and test. In this paper, we have studied the critical speed of scaled bogie model. We have made the 1/5 scaled bogie, the scaled roller rig and analyzed the critical speed of the scaled bogie through the numerical simulation and running test of the scaled bogie. We have confirmed that the analysis results of the critical speed correspond with the test results.

The performance of the railway bogie is classified into the stability and the steering performance. Testing for the bogie stability is conducted on the roller rig, but testing for the bogie steering performance on test facility is very difficult, so the testing for the vehicle curving performance is conducted on the real curve track. Testing the railway bogie on the full scale test rig is desirable, but it caused many problems relating to test costs and test time. As a possible alternative to overcome these problems, a small scaled test rig is actively used in the field of bogie stability. Thus, in this paper, we have studied a scaled track to test the bogie steering performance. For this purpose, we designed the 1/5 scaled test track equivalent to radius 200 curve and confirmed the validity of the testing for the bogie steering performance on the sealed curve track through the testing using 1/5 scaled bogie.

This Paper contains the development procedure of Mach small-scaled composite rotor blade for helicopter articulated rotor system. This mach small-scaled composite blade design is conducted by using CORDAS program developed by KARI. The Dynamic analysis for an articulated rotor system with this blade is conducted by using FLIGHTLAB which is commercial software for helicopter analysis. Also the optimizing procedure of iterative design was described. The designed composite blades were manufactured after establishing the effective curing method. For small-scaled rotor test, strain gauges were embedded in composite blade spar to obtain bending & torsion strain value. To verify sectional properties of a blade, the bench test is accomplished. After comparing a designed data and tested data, Dynamic Calculation was repeated using tested data. Through this research, experiences of mach small-scaled composite blade development were accumulated and will be applied to the related research field.

Wind tunnel test for the 12% scaled model of NREL Phase VI wind turbine was conducted in KARI low speed wind tunnel for $2006{\sim}2007$. The 1st and 2nd test was designed to find out the wind tunnel test method for the blade manufacturing accuracy and surface treatment method by using the composite and aluminum blades. And the 3rd test was designed to study the scale effect. The chord extension method which was used for Bo-105 40% scaled model was adapted for scale effect correction. Test results shows that the chord extension method works well for the torque slope but the maximum torque for scaled model is about 8% below than the real scale model. New correction method to correct this offset was proposed.

This study was conducted to investigate suitable material properties for scaled model test. Unconfined compressive strength of each material was obtained through former studies. UCS calculated from scale factor and former studies results were compared. Two results had a similar tendency, cement mortar is better than plaster for scaled model test.

Many studies are conducted in several fields for fragility analysis of structures or elements which is a probabilistic seismic safety analysis in consideration with uncertainty of seismic loading. It is hard to directly conduct fragility analysis for an infrastructure with social importance due to its size. Therefore, a fragility analysis for an infrastructure mainly conducted in element level or conducted with scaled model built in accordance with similarity law. In this article, fragility analysis for prototype and scaled model of reinforced concrete column was conducted with numerical models which had been updated by the results of shaking table test and pseudo dynamic test. As a result, response stress from the numerical analysis result of prototype model was higher than that from scaled model due to different stiffness ratios between steel and concrete. However, the probability of failure for scaled model was higher than that for prototype model because failure criteria for scaled model was down due to similarity law. Also it was evaluated that probability of failure by using log normal standard deviation of response stresses by spectrum matched accelerograms was more reliable than probability of failure by using existing coefficient of variation normally used.

In this paper, for a spectrum sensing purpose, we heuristically established a test statistic (TS) from a sample covariance matrix (SCM) for multiple antennas based cognitive radio. The TS is formulated as a scaled-energy which is calculated as a sum of scaled diagonal entries of a SCM; each of the diagonal entries of a SCM scaled by corresponding row's Euclidean norm. On the top of that, by combining theoretical results together with simulation observations, we have approximated a decision threshold of the TS which does not need prior knowledge of noise power and primary user signal. Furthermore, simulation results - which are obtained in a fading environment and in a spatially correlating channel model - show that the proposed method stands effect of noise power mismatch (non-uniform noise power) and has significant performance improvement compared with state-of-the-art test statistics.
