Armed helicopter is an integral part of armed forces, which conducts vital missions, such as anti-armor attack, close air support, escorting air assault operations, and reconnaissance. A typical cockpit arrangement of armed helicopters has been a tandem configuration. This is to reduce the frontal area, which in turn increases the forward speed as well as reduces the chance of being hit by enemy fires. However, many armed helicopters in the world are now being developed as a side-by-side configuration. Such configuration is quite different from the conventional cockpit arrangement in light of the crew communications and situational awareness. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to find the optimized combination of mission tasks among pilots in a side-by-side configuration cockpit by measuring the workload using the NASA Task Load Index method. The experimental results indicate that the workload of crew members differ as disparate tasks are being performed.

The gas turbine engine structures usually are placed on high thermal mechanical stress condition. For general low cycle fatigue evaluation, simple fatigue criterion based on critical plane approach is developed. LCF life of turbine wheel is evaluated with this criterion and process contrived together.

Satellite structure should be designed to accommodate and support safely the payload and equipments necessary for its own missions and to secure satellite and payloads from severe launch environments. The launch environments imposed on satellites are quasi-static accelerations, aerodynamic loads, acoustic loads and shock loads. Currently KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) is developing Geo-KOMPSAT-2(Geostationary Earth Orbit KOrea Multi-Purpose Satellite) with technologies which were acquired during COMS(Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite) development. As compared to COMS Geo-KOMPSAT-2 requires more propellant due to mass increase of Advanced Meteorological Payload with high resolution and increase of miss life, it is difficult to apply the design concept of COMS to Geo-KOMPSAT-2. This paper deals with conceptual design of Structural Subsystem for Geo-KOMPSAT-2.

Sensor pods mounted on the exterior of the aircraft used for tactical missions should have a fatigue life based on the expected load spectrum during operation. For mission equipment such as the sensor pod, the frequency fatigue life prediction method which applies the dynamic vibration environment condition is preferred due to the efficiency of the analysis. In this paper, a fatigue life prediction method in the frequency domain where stress due to static and dynamic loads is synthesized based on the actual flight load spectrum is proposed. After comparison with the existing analysis method, the fatigue life of the proposed analysis method was predicted conservatively. The proposed sensor pods satisfy the requirements of the fatigue life.

위성체가 발사체에 실려 발사될 때에 매우 높은 가속도에 의한 정적, 동적 하중 및 공기의 저항에 의한 하중, 연소 가스 분출시 발생하는 음향에 의한 하중, 발사체로부터 분리될 때 발생하는 충격 하중 등 여러 가지의 극심한 하중을 겪게 된다. 이러한 발사 환경에 대한 안정성을 검토하기 위해 발사체 업체에서 제공하는 매뉴얼 상의 설계 조건을 이용하여 설계하고 해석하여 검증한다. 천리안 위성의 후속 위성으로 해상도 및 채널 성능 향상된 차세대 기상탑재체를 탑재하는 정지궤도 복합위성을 개발 중이다. 임무 수명 기간을 연장할 수 있는 3.5톤급 혹은 그 이상의 플랫폼에 대한 형상 설계를 수행하였고 그 내용을 목적으로 한다.

정지궤도 복합위성 2호는 현재 기상 및 해양관련 관측임무를 수행중인 천리안위성의 임무승계를 위해 현재 개발이 진행 중이다. 천리안위성에 비해 수명이 확대되고, 임무 탑재체의 중량도 증가하여 추진제량의 대폭 증가가 필요한 것으로 분석되고 있다. 이로 인해 추진제 탱크의 확장이 불가피하여 현재 가용한 탱크를 기반으로 구조체 설계에 대한 비교 연구가 수행되었다. 정지궤도위성의 추진제 탱크 수용은 크게 측면 고정식 구형 탱크의 수직 배치방식과 극 고정식 실런더형 탱크의 수평 배치방식으로 구분된다. 추진제량 확대에 따라 두가지 방식 모두 구조체 내부에 충분한 강성확보와 하중전달을 목적으로 튜브형 구조물이 적용되며, 이를 토대로 구조체 설계가 이루어 진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 추진계 탱크 수용 방식을 기반으로 정지궤도 복합위성에 적용될 구조체 설계 개념을 제시하고, 비교 연구를 통해 각 방식이 갖는 구조체 설계의 장단점을 기술하고자 한다.

Jet noise of propulsion systems is major source of acoustic loads of launch vehicles and sounding rockets. The investigation of characteristics of jet noise is inevitable for successful missions. In this paper, the mechanism of generation of acoustic loads due to jet noise was investigated. The major parameters that change the characteristics of acoustic loads were also suggested so that effects of the parameters could be investigated. The temporal and spatial characteristics of acoustic loads of KSR-III was demonstrated. The results show that the maximum value of the acoustic loads is found in the octave bands whose center frequencies are 250 Hz and 500 Hz. Finally, the methods and the facilities for the further investigation of acoustic loads were proposed.

In this study, a numerical analysis based on CFD methods has been conducted to predict the aerodynamic coefficients and aerodynamic loads of KSLV-II configuration designed at the system design phase. By the effects of exclusion of engine cowls of prior configuration, axial force and normal force decreased and center of pressure was much moved to the nose direction. Also, aerodynamic loads at flight and on the launch pad were predicted for structural load analysis. The computed results will be used for mission analysis and structural analysis at the next design phase.

이 논문에서는 비선형댐퍼를 이용한 광학탑재체 품질개선 방법에 대해 다루었다. 인공위성은 발사 시에 높은 진동하중에 견디어야 하며, 임무 수행 중에는 광학탑재체가 영상을 획득할 수 있도록 지지해주어야 한다. 그러나 인공위성은 자세제어, 데이터 송신, 탑재체 능동냉각을 위한 진동하중 가진 원을 보유하고 있어, 이를 광학탑재체 노출 시 영상품질이 저감되기 쉽다. 이 논문에서는 비선형 댐퍼를 이용해 발사 시에 높은 진동하중에 견디며, 발사 후에는 진동을 절연시켜 영상품질을 개선시키는 방법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.

In this study, we have generated fatigue load spectrum that is using to prediction of life time for the helicopter rotor blades. We derive utility helicopter missions for the sake of generating load spectrum. Helix and Felix are standard loading sequences which relate to the main rotors of helicopters with articulated and semi-rigid rotors respectively. We got scale factors which is applied to specific case and it did be obtained through the finite element analysis tools. The fatigue life of the rotor blade is estimated by using MSC/Fatigue. We suggest that generated our fatigue load spectrum in conjunction with small utility helicopter should use to rotor blade fatigue test of the korea helicopter program.
