The airloads and structural loads of Light Civil Helicopter (LCH) rotor are investigated using a loose CFD/CSD coupling. The structural dynamics model for LCH 5-bladed rotor cwith elastomeric bearing and inter-bladed damper is constructed using CAMRAD-II. Either isolated rotor or rotor-fuselage model is used to identify the effect of the fuselage on the aeromechanics behavior at a cruise speed of 0.28. The fuselage effect is shown to be marginal on the aeromechanics predictions of LCH rotor, though the effect can be non-negligible for the tail structure due to the prevailing root vortices strengthened by the fuselage upwash. A lifting-line based comprehensive analysis is also conducted to verify the CFD/CSD coupled analysis. The comparison study shows that the comprehensive analysis predictions are generally in good agreements with CFD/CSD coupled results. However, the predicted comprehensive analysis results underestimate peak-to-peak values of blade section airloads and elastic motions due to the limitation of unsteady aerodynamic predictions. Particularly, significant discrepancies appear in the structural loads with apparent phase differences.

The interaction model between variable-speed control moment gyros and a satellite has been studied based on the multi-body dynamics. Using the interaction model, we could obtain data for the design of VCMG motors and the strength design of structure. The interaction effects of flexible modules such as solar panels were included. Flexible modes are excited by the satellite's maneuver, and these modes cause perturbations in the satellite attitude. We developed a simulation program by Modelica and verified the proposed model.

This research has been conducted to design upright parts of hand-made vehicles with the purpose of reducing material and machining cost while ensuring structural safety. Aluminum knuckles were modelled with three parts in order to enhance design flexibility as well as to reduce CNC machining cost. A vehicle model was constructed in CAD program and simulated in ADAMS View in order to estimate joint forces developing during 20 degree step steering condition at 60km/h. The joint forces obtained in the vehicle dynamics simulation were used for the structural analysis in ANSYS and dimensions of knuckle parts were adjusted until the lowest safety factor reached 2.0. The weight of knuckle decreased by 50% compared to the previous version that was designed without the structural analysis. The overall manufacturing cost decreased by 33% due to the reduction in the material as well as the CNC machining effort.

In this paper, dynamic response analysis of a heave compensation system is performed for offshore drilling operations based on multibody dynamics. With this simulation, the efficiency of the heave compensation system can be virtually confirmed before it is applied to drilling operations. The heave compensation system installed on a semi-submersible platform consists of a passive and an active heave compensator. The passive and active heave compensator are composed of several bodies that are connected to each other with various types of joints. Therefore, to carry out the dynamic response analysis, the dynamics kernel was developed based on mutibody dynamics. To construct the equations of motion of the multibody system and to determine the unknown accelerations and constraint forces, the recursive Newton-Euler formulation was adapted. Functions of the developed dynamics kernel were verified by comparing them with other commercial dynamics kernels. The hydrostatic force with nonlinear effects, the linearized hydrodynamic force, and the pneumatic and hydraulic control forces were considered as the external forces that act on the platform of the semi-submersible rig and the heave compensation system. The dynamic simulation of the heave compensation system of the semi-submersible rig, which is available for drilling operations with a 3,600m water depth, was carried out. From the results of the simulation, the efficiency of the heave compensation system were evaluated before they were applied to the offshore drilling operations. Moreover, the calculated constraint forces could serve as reference data for the design of the mechanical system.

적충되어 있는 다중 블록 시스템은 역사적 건물이나 문화재등에 자주 사용되고 있다. 이러한 구조시스템은 지진에 매우 취약하고, 특히 세장한 구조물인 경우에는 낮은 수준의 지반가속도에 대해서도 전도가 일어날 수 있다. 지진으로부터 이러한 구조물을 보호할 수 있는 방법중의 하나로써 지진격기받침의 사용을 들 수 있으나, 아직 격리받침이 설치되어 있는 다중블록의 거동에 대해서는 잘 알려지지 않는 실정이다. 이 논문에서는 각각 P-F 시스템, FPS, LRB 시스템이 설치되어 있을때의 세장한 강체 블록의 동적거동에 대해 살펴보았다. P-F 시스템과 FPS에서의 마찰모델은 Coulomb의 마찰법칙을 이용하였도, 상부구조물은 붙음(stick)모드와 록킹(rocking) 모드만이 존재하도록 가정하였다. 충격은 개별요소법(distinct element method, DEM)을 이용해 기술하였고, 조화입력운동에 대한 응답을 조사하였다.

The anti-vibration tables that use air suspensions as dampers have been widely used due to their high anti-vibration performance in wide frequency band. However, they face a problem of easily accelerating the vibration when triggered by external force because their air suspensions have low rigidity and dampness. In response, there has been a study on active/semi-active dampers that use only the passive components like air suspensions to complement the passive-control format. Thus, we have dynamically analyzed the active/semi-active control of such passive anti-vibration tables. To demonstrate the anti-vibration table's control system, we have also constructed a kinetic model based on the physical characteristics of an anti-vibration table with 6 degrees of freedom and verified its applicability through analysis and experiments.

본 고에서는 막구조 해석.설계시의 주요 내용을 각 해석단계별로 간략히 소개하였다. 막구조는 막이론 자신이 가진 근사성, 요소의 탄성 특성의 근사, 막면 요소로 곡면을 나타내는 기하학적 근사 등으로 구조물의 형태, 막재료의 동특성에 따라 해석시 오차가 발생하게 되며, 또한 구조설계 단계에서 막 판넬 제작 및 시공에 대한 고려가 되지 않으면 그 오차는 더욱 크게 된다. 따라서 향후, 보다 정확한 막구조의 설계를 위해서는 섬유직포에 코팅한 막재의 역학적 특성을 보다 잘 표현할 수 있는 막재모델의 정식화, 막재단도 해석시 무장력 상태의 설계곡면을 구하는 방법, 막판넬을 접합하고, 장력을 도입하는 시공과정을 고려한 실초기 평형상태 및 시공과정 해석법에 대한 연구가 계속 되어야 한다. 또한 초기형상 해석에서 시공과정 해석까지 전 설계과정을 공통 Data Base에서 일관 작업이 가능하도록 막구조통합 설계 System의 개발이 필요하다.

The fixed ends beam is analyzed by the s d 0 f system with the rigid-plastic model. And the safety criteria of the fixed ends beam to the Impulsive loads are established with the peak-load ratio to the static collapse load and impulse ratio to the ideal impulse producing the critical displacement. It is shown that the impulse and the peak-load of the impulsive loads are the important factors for the damage of the structures. It is also shown that the damage curves with the peak-load and impulse ratio are useful method to estimate the damage of the structures due to the emphasis on the equivalent dynamic loads rather than the equivalent static loads in the process of deriving the curve.

Recently renewable energy such as offshore wind energy takes a higher interest due to the depletion of fossil fuel and the environmental pollution. This paper deals with multi-body dynamics (MBD) analysis technique for offshore wind turbine system considering aerodynamic loads and Thevenin equation used for determination of electric generator torque. Dynamic responses of 5MW offshore wind turbine system are evaluated via the MBD analysis, and the system is the horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) which generates electricity from the three blades horizontally installed at upwind direction. The aerodynamic loads acting on the blades are computed by AeroDyn code, which is capable of accommodating a generalized dynamic wake using blade element momentum (BEM) theory. In order that the characteristics of dynamic loads and torques on the main joint parts of offshore wind turbine system are simulated similarly such an actual system, flexible body modeling including the actual structural properties are applied for both blade and tower in the multi-body dynamics model.

A modulation transfer function(MTF) tree is established to estimate the overall MTF of an observation satellite and to analyze the image performance. Basic MTF models relevant to each MTF tree component are represented as mathematical relationship between optics-structural dynamics, thermal deformation, attitude and dynamic characteristics of a satellite and the effects due to the space environment. The Basic MTF models consist of diffraction limited MTF with central obscuration, aberration, defocus, line-of-sight(LOS) jitter, linear motion, detector integration, and so forth. Performance estimation is demonstrated for a virtual earth-observation satellite in order to validate the constructed modeling method. The proposed models enable the system engineers to calculate the overall system MTF and to determine the crucial design parameters that affect the image performance in the conceptual design phase of an observation satellite.
