This paper presents dynamic modelling and simulation study on attitude/altitude control of an insect-mimicking flapping micro aerial vehicle during hovering. Mathematical modelling consists of three parts: simplified flapping kinematics, flapping-wing aerodynamics, and six degree of freedom dynamics. Attitude stabilization is accomplished through linear quadratic regulator based on the linearized model of the time-varying nonlinear system, and altitude control is designed in the outer loop using PID control. The performance of the proposed controller is verified through numerical simulation where attitude stabilization and altitude control is done for hovering. In addition, it is confirmed that the attitude channel by periodic control is marginally stable against periodic pitching moment caused by flapping.

an approach to air-vehicle design, an application of the radio-controlled model flight test techniques has been presented. The approach presented in this study is to validate the air-vehicle design configuration by analyzing the flight test results of scale model with dynamic similarities, and then to apply the analyzed results to the aerodynamic design process in early stage of the air-vehicle development. To develop practically applicable similarity laws for the subscale flying model design, the air-vehicle motions are decoupled into rotational motions for stability & control similarities and translational motions for flight performance similarities. Also, detail techniques for radio-controlled model flight test have been developed. Based on the results obtained from the radio-controlled flight test, the present approach for air-vehicle design has shown to be useful to validate the air-vehicle design configuration.

In this study, an analysis method for maglev train-guideway interaction is verified using field measurement data. The cabin and bogies of the maglev train are modeled as rigid bodies that are allowed to have heave and pitch motions. Levitation forces from the electromagnetic suspensions on the bogies are controlled using an active control algorithm. The guideway is represented using the Euler-Bernoulli beam. Considering rigorously the changes in air-gaps and material points at which the levitation forces are applied due to the pitch motions of the bogies, dynamic analysis of maglev train-guideway interaction is performed. Using field measurement data, obtained from the Incheon Airport Maglev Railway, the analysis method is verified. Accuracy of the analysis method is investigated. It is determined that the structures in the railway are designed and constructed safely according to the design code for maglev railways.

We utilized the isogeometric analysis (IGA) method that uses NURBS basis functions in CAD systems, to account for the geometric exactness of a geometrically exact beam deformation, on a new type of metamaterial, twist-translation coupled structure showing a large twist angle. A two-dimensional unit cell structure was embedded in a cylindrical wall, using free-form deformation and an appropriate interpolation scheme. A parametric study on the effects of the dimensions of the cylinder and the number of cells, on the twisting angle was performed. Furthermore, the mechanism of the twist-translation coupled metamaterial was explored through numerical examples.

A dynamic fluid-structure-soil interaction analysis method is developed to investigate the effects of translational and/or rocking motions on the seismic response of flexible rectangular liquid storage tanks founded on the deformable ground. The governing equation for the dynamics of 3-D rectangular tanks subjected to the translational and/or rocking motion is abtained by applying Rayleigh-Ritz method. The dynamic stiffness matrices of a rigid rectangular foundation resting on the surface of a stratum overlaid bedrock are calculated by hyperelement method. The seismic responses of 3-D flexible tank model founded on the deformable ground is calculated by combining the governing equation for the fluid-tank system with the dynamic stiffness matrix of th rigid surface foundation.

In this study, the thrust generation by simultaneous flapping airfoils in tandem configuration is parametrically studied with respect to flapping frequency, amplitude and relative location. Navier-Stokes solver with overset grid topology is employed to calculate the unsteady flowfields. The computation results indicate that when the two airfoils stroke in-phase - flapping phase lag is zero - the maximum propulsive efficiency and thrust can be obtained for most frequency and amplitude range. At a flapping amplitude of 0.2 chord and a reduced frequency of 0.75, the propulsive efficiency of aft airfoil is enhanced by about 37 % compared with that of forward airfoil. However, if flapping frequency exceeds some critical value, the strength of the leading edge vortex of aft airfoil is fortified by the trailing edge vortex of the forward airfoil, resulting in poor propulsive efficiency. It is also found that out-of-phase flapping has relatively low propulsive efficiency and thrust since vortical wake of the forward airfoil interacts with the leading edge vortex of aft airfoil in the unfavorable fashion. The total thrust and propulsive efficiency are shown to decrease with the horizontal miss distance of the aft airfoil. On the contrary, the vertical miss distance has little effect on the overall aerodynamic performance.

교량거동의 동적 특성과 인접거덩간의 충돌의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 여러 단순보로 이루어진 교량시스템의 교축방향에 대한 거동을 분석하였다. 충돌은 물론 교각의 비선형, 그리고 기초의 병진 및 회전운동을 고려할 수 있는 단순화된 다자유도시스템을 소개하고 이에 상응하는 운동방정식을 유도하여 교량거동을 예측하는 방법을 개발하였다. 개발된 다자유도시스템은 지진하중을 받는 교량시스템의 거동분석에 대한 적절한 정보를 제공할 수 있는 것을 밝혔다. 충돌의 주 영향은 강진시 인접거더간의 상대변위를 감소시키며, 미진 시에는 상대적으로 증가시킴을 밝혔다. 따라서, 강진이 아닌 지진하중을 받는 교량의 거동분석 시에도 이러한 충돌로 인한 영향에 대하여 각별한 주의가 필요하다는 것을 제안한다.

해사기술연구소가 보유하고 있는 6자유도 대형진동대의 시스템 구성과 시험파형 합성기법 및 시험방법에 대하여 간략히 살펴보았다. 통상적인 가진기가 1방향의 운동만을 구현할 수 있음에 비해, 6자유도 진동대는 3축병진, 3축 회전의 임의의 복잡운동을 구현할 수 있는 국내 유일의 설비이며 용량 또한 30톤의 시험체까지를 대상으로 한 대형 진동대로서 각종 분야에 필요한 진동시험 업무를 지원할 수 있다. 구조물의 방진 및 내진설계를 위해서는 가능한한 실물 또는 모형의 실증실험이 필수적이며, 이는 내진 해석기법의 개발 및 검증의 기초가 된다. 특히 이 시스템은 내진 검증시험에 필요한 모든 기능을 갖추고 있으므로, 앞으로 건설될 국내원자력 발전소에 이용되는 각종기기의 내진검증시험을 통하여 이들 기기의 국산화에 크게 이바지할 것으로 보인다.
