This paper addresses the installation and modification design of airframe structures for new and modified equipment installations that are essential for aircraft performance improvement. Typical performance improvement equipment mounted on the exterior of the aircraft include antenna, radar, electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR), and self-protection system equipment, which require structural reinforcement, modification, and mounting design of the green aircraft for operation. In the interior of the aircraft, console and rack structures are modified or added according to user operation requirements. In addition, this is accompanied by the installation design of equipment to be replaced and added for performance improvement, and the according modification of environmental control system components for internal cooling. The engineering process and cases in which airworthiness was verified through the detailed design of airframe structures with structural integrity, operability, and maintainability of performance-improved aircraft are presented.

This paper presents the design improvements made for the crack which is in the mounting structure of the mechanical structure of rotary wing aircraft. The doubler added to the mounting structure of rotary wing aircraft was designed and manufactured based on the load at the development stage, and a crack was found in the surface of doubler at a certain point during the operation of the aircraft. To identify the cause of the crack, the initial deformation of the structure, which may occur as a result of fastening condition, was considered and the dynamic analysis of the natural frequency of the structure comparing to the blade passing frequency of the aircraft were additionally reviewed. As a result of this study, a shim was added to remove the physical gap of the fastening area, and a doubler with thickened reinforcement was installed. The increase of structural strength is shown by reviewing the results of dynamic analysis for the structural verification of the improved design, and the fatigue evaluation complied to the requirement of the aircraft lifetime.

항공기 외부 장착물인 POD는 전자전 방해장치(ECM, electronic counter measures)로서 전자방해 장비 및 부분 부품인 전ㆍ후방 러그(lug)와 외부 케이스로 이루어져 있다. POD는 항공기 외부 동체 하단부 및 파일런(pylon)에 장착되어 작동하므로 항공기의 운용중 이륙부터 착륙간의 기동에 의한 피로하중을 주로 받게 되므로 POD 부품들에 대한 구조 건전성 확보하기 위해서는 MIL-STD-1530의 요구에 따라 내구성(durability) 및 손상허용설계(damage tolerance design) 의 평가가 요구되고 있다.(중략)

This paper describes the test procedure, instrumentation, verification methodology and the results of the ground vibration test(GVT) and force vibration test(FVT) of the SmartUAV aircraft to estimate experimentally dynamic characteristics of the aircraft. Bungee cords are used to emulate free-free boundary conditions of the test aircraft. The SmartUAV is excited by three shakers and one-hundred frequency response functions(FRF's) is measured. The FRF's are reduced and analyzed to identify the dynamics parameters of the SmartUAV. To extract modal parameters of the SmartUAV such as, natural frequencies and damping ratios, the poly-reference least square complex exponential method is used in the time domain. The mode shape coefficients are estimated with the least squares frequency domain method to identify the vibration modes. The FVT was performed by fixed sine frequency with three shakers on the x, y and z direction and vibration characteristics of structures and detail equipments are measured.

According to the development of loading equipments, it is usual to change or replace the existing stores. It has been known that pylon-mounted under stores strongly affect aircraft dynamics characteristics due to the change of aerodynamics. To predict the aerodynamics and aero-elasticity is essentially requested with considering the configuration and shape of external stores during the development of aircraft and/or external stores. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics and computational structure dynamics interaction methodology are applied for prediction of aerodynamic characteristics for F-5 aircraft's horizontal tail with various shape of external stores. FLUENT and ABAQUS were used to calculate fluid and structural dynamics. Code-bridge was made base on the globally supported radial basis function to execute interpolation and mapping. As a result, even though the aeroelasticity of the horizontal tail slightly changes according to the shape of external store, the flutter was not occurred at the considered flight conditions in this study.

The Multi-Mission Unmanned Surface Vehicle(MMUSV), which is manufactured using glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic(FRP) material, is designed to perform a surveillance and reconnaissance on the sea. Various navigation sensors, such as RADAR, RIDAR, camera, are mounted on a mast to perform an autonomous navigation. And a dummy gun is mounted on the deck of the MMUSV for a target tracking and disposal. It is necessary to analyze a strength for structures mounted on the deck because the MMUSV performs missions under a severe sea state. In this paper, a strength analysis of the mast structure is performed on static loads and lateral external loads to verify an adequacy of the designed mast through a series of simulations. Based on the results of captive model tests, a strength analysis for a heave motion of the mast structure is conducted using a simulation tool. Also a simulation and fatigue test for a mounting part between the MMUSV and the dummy gun are performed using a specimen. The simulation and test results are represented that a structure of the mast and mounting part of the dummy gun are appropriately designed.he impact amount are performed through simulation and experiments.

Nowadays, the necessity of the NDT technique for concrete structure has been increased due to maintenance of infra-structure. With this reason, NDT detecting technique has been considered as a effective maintenance method to prevent the rapid degradation of the infra-structure. In this study, to investigate the internal defect of concrete structure, ultrasonic detection device and radar equipment was applied then tested in laboratory and field. In the result of the experimental test, the internal cavity and steel arrangement can be detected and it was possible to adopt the ultrasonic detection method to the maintenance of concrete structure. And an algorithm for performing the maintenance procedure of concrete structure applying ultrasonic detection device and radar equipment was developed and suggested in this study.

해저파이프라인 및 해저케이블 설치해역이 대수심으로 이동함에 따라 육지와는 다른 열악한 시공 환경에 놓이게 된다. 이때 파이프라인 및 케이블이 매설되는 해저지반 상태와 작업이 이루어지는 해역의 해상조건 등은 작업효율에 영향을 미치기 때문에 효율적인 시공이 필요하다. 본 논문은 구조물 매설에 앞서 해저지반 굴삭 작업을 수행하기 위해 ROV 트렌쳐의 하단에 장착되는 워터젯 굴삭기의 작업효율 및 시공성능 추정에 관한 연구이다. 먼저 전산유체해석을 통해 워터젯 굴삭기의 굴삭효율을 극대화할 수 있는 노즐 수량을 정하였고, 모형실험을 수행하여 굴삭기의 시공성능을 예측할 수 있는 최대 굴삭심도 및 최대 굴삭속도를 파악하였다. 이를 바탕으로 실제 운용중인 워터젯 굴삭장비들과 시공성능을 비교 분석하였다.

For the safety of aircraft and accuracy of bombs, many companies have researched the new concept of adaptive kit to flying-bombs. For the long distance flying, it's normally used deployed high-aspect ratio wing because of limited volume. The probabilities of large elastic deformation and flutter are increased due to decreased stiffness of high-aspect ratio wing. In this paper, computational fluid dynamics and computational structure dynamics interaction methodology are applied for prediction of aerodynamic characteristics. FLUENT and ABAQUS are used to calculate fluid and structural dynamics. Code-bridge was made base on the compactly supported radial basis function to execute interpolation and mapping. There are some differences between rigid body and fluid-structure interaction analysis which are results of aerodynamics characteristics due to structural deformation. Small successive vibration was observed by interaction.
