A zero-load slider is composed of two outside rails which produce a lift force pushing up the slider from the disk surface and a wide reverse step region which produces a suction force attracting the slider to the disk surface. In this paper, the flying characteristics of zero-load sliders are obtained by using an optimization technique. In the pressure calculation module, the FIFD scheme is used to solve the modified Reynolds equation. The BFGS method and a line search algorithm is employed to predict the static flying attitude. To investigate the effect of the geometric- parameters of zero-load sliders on the flying characteristics, recess depth, front step width, rail width, and taper height are varied and the corresponding flying attitudes are obtained. Simulation results demonstrate that recess depth and rail width have significant influences on the flying characteristics.

Numerical analyses on the aerodynamic characteristics of a counter rotating axial flow fan is carried out using the frequency domain panel method. Front rotor and rear rotor blades of a counter rotating axial fan are designed by using the simplified meridional flow analysis method with the radial equilibrium equation and the free vortex design condition, according to design requirements. Performance characteristics of a counter rotating axial flow fan are estimated for the variation of design parameters such as the hub to tip ratio, the taper ratio and the solidity. Pressure losses were higher at leading edge and hub region of rotor blades. Characteristic curve of the counter rotating fan was overpredicted without consideration of viscous effect.

A header is the device that makes uniform flow distribution in all branches from header of heat exchangers, pipe burner or chemical equipments. In this study, experimental tests have been performed in order to investigate the flow distribution characteristics in a straight header and tapered header which have 6 and 11 glass pipe branches. The experimental equipment consists of a water circulation system where the fluid velocity in each glass pipe is measured by Ar-ion LDV system. From the experiments and the theoretical equation, it could be recommended that tapered header should be determined so that its internal velocities inside the header become uniform according to taper of the header and number of attached branches for uniform flow distribution in energy systems.

This paper deals with the static optimal shapes of simple beams which are subjected to a vertical point load. The area and second moment of inertia of the regular polygon cross-section of the tapered beams are determined, which have always same volume and same length for the parabolic taper. The differential equation governing the elastic curve is derived using the small deflection theory and solved numerically. By using the numerical results of deflections, rotations and bending stresses of such beams, the optimal shapes, namely, optimal section ratios, of the beams subjected to a single point load according to variation of load position parameters are determined and presented in the figures. Examples of the static optimal shapes for beams with a single load and multiple loads are reported. The design process of this study can be used directly for the minimum weight design of simple beams.

We develop a preliminary design optimization procedure in this paper regarding the wing planform in a solar-powered high-altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle. A high-aspect-ratio wing has been widely adopted in this type of a vehicle, due to both the high lift-to-drag ratio and lightweight design. In the preliminary design, its characteristics need to be addressed correctly, and analyzed in an appropriate manner. In this paper, we use the three-dimensional Euler equation to analyze the wing aerodynamics. We also use an advanced structural modeling approach based on a geometrically exact one-dimensional beam analysis. Regarding the structural integrity of the wing, we determine detailed configuration parameters, specifically the taper ratio and the span length. Next, we conduct a multi-objective optimization scheme based on the response surface method, using the present baseline configuration. We consider the structural integrity as one of the constraints. We reduce the wing weight by approximately 25.3 % from that in the baseline configuration, and also decrease the power required approximately 3.4 %. We confirm that the optimized wing has sufficient flutter margin and improved static longitudinal/directional stability characteristics, as compared to those of the baseline configuration.

This paper proposes a transfer matrix method for the bending vibration of two types of tapered beams subjected to axial force, and it is applied to analyze tapered beams with an edge or multiple edge open cracks. One beam type is assumed to be reduced linearly in the cross-section height along the beam length. The other type is a tapered beam in which the cross-section height and width with the same taper ratio is linearly reduced simultaneously. Each crack is modeled as two sub-elements connected by a rotational spring, and the method can evaluate the effect of cracking on the desired number of eigenfrequencies using a minimum number of subdivisions. Among the power series available for the solutions, the roots of the differential equation are computed using the Frobenius method. The computed results confirm the accuracy of the method and are compared with previously reported results. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is demonstrated by examining specific examples, and the effects of cracking and axial loading are carefully examined by a comparison of the single and double tapered beam results.

Weak form integral equations are developed to investigate the flapwise bending vibration of the rotating beams. Rayleigh and Eringen nonlocal elasticity theories are used to investigate the rotatory inertia and Size-dependency effects on the flapwise bending vibration of the rotating cantilever beams, respectively. Through repetitive integrations, the governing partial differential equations are converted into weak form integral equations. The novelty of the presented approach is the approximation of the mode shape function by a power series which converts the equations into solvable one. Substitution of the power series into weak form integral equations results in a system of linear algebraic equations. The natural frequencies are determined by calculation of the non-trivial solution for resulting system of equations. Accuracy of the proposed method is verified through several numerical examples, in which the influence of the geometry properties, rotatory inertia, rotational speed, taper ratio and size-dependency are investigated on the natural frequencies of the rotating beam. Application of the weak form integral equations has made the solution simpler and shorter in the mathematical process. Presented relations can be used to obtain a close-form solution for quick calculation of the first five natural frequencies of the beams with flapwise vibration and non-local effects. The analysis results are compared with those obtained from other available published references.

본 연구는 충북 충주지역 가래나무 조림지에 대한 개체목 및 임분 표준지 조사 자료를 토대로 재적표(수피 포함 및 제외) 및 임분수확표를 조제하고자 하였다. 재적을 산출하기 위한 수간곡선식으로는 Kozak식을 적용하였으며, 식의 적합성지수가 97% 이상으로 매우 높은 정확도를 보였다. 산출된 재적을 이용하여 가래나무에 대한 재적표를 국내 최초로 조제하였다. 임분생산력을 판정할 수 있는 지위지수를 분석하기 위해서 Chapman-Richard 모델을 이용하였으며, 기준 임령은 30년으로 하였다. 분석 결과 지위등급은 평균적으로 16~22의 범위에 분포하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 조제된 임분수확표를 지위지수 '중'인 가래나무 70년생 임분에 적용한 결과 축적이 $238m^3$ 이상으로 나타났는데, 이는 가래나무 임분 수확량의 추정을 위해 기존에 적용되어왔던 상수리나무 임분수확표를 적용한 경우에 비해 $100m^3/ha$ 이상 차이가 나타나는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 활엽수에 대한 수종별 임분수확표 조제의 필요성을 입증하고 있다. 본 연구결과를 토대로 충주지역 가래나무 조림지의 이산화탄소 흡수량을 계산한 결과, 30년생 임분의 경우 연간 $5.84tCO_2/ha$의 탄소를 흡수할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 조제된 가래나무 재적 및 임분수확표는 앞으로 충북 충주지역 가래나무 조림지에 대한 경영의사결정에 주요한 참고자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
