This paper deals with dynamic modeling and controller design of a future Korean lunar module planned to be launched 2020's in Korea. For dynamic modeling of the lunar module, we first assume the lunar module as a rigid body. And we derive equations of motion for the lunar module by considering allocation of main thrusters and reaction thrusters. With the equation of motion, we design the controller based on the quaternion. A Pulse Width Pulse Frequency modulator(PWPFM) is selected for generating on/off signal. Finally, we construct a 2-phase descent mode including initial guidance mode, terminal guidance mode. The MATLAB simulation is performed for evaluating the descent ability and final landing velocity. The dynamic modeling and descent simulation of the lunar module in this paper could be applied for developing the future work of the Korean lunar exploration program.

This paper provides the target observability analysis of time-to-go polynomial guidance law with bearing-only measurement. In this study, a direct approach is used to analyze the target observability. Since the observability condition of a constant-velocity target is given by the function of LOS angle only, the target observability characteristic is determined by substituting the closed form solution of LOS angle to the observability condition directly. The analysis results show that the target observability is depended on the choice of guidance gain, initial intercept condition and guidance command shape. After that this mathematical analysis result is evaluated and demonstrated by number of simulation.

Recently environmental and ecological river management have been held in high repute, therefore it needs to river restoration and management works considering topographical shape of river. This study estimated the change of topographical shape in Gab- and Yudeung-River using time-series aerial photos. Especially, we selected location points of river facilities as weir and bridge that were built and removed and the confluence of Gab- and Yudeung-River. And we investigated the change of time-series flux and flow-direction. Also, through the estimation of sediment by river flow together, it is possible to supply decision making data that is very important to instream flow and environmental and ecological river restoration in urban stream.

A simple and effective guidance and control scheme that enables autonomous three-dimensional path-following for a fixed wing aircraft is presented. The method utilizes the nonlinear path-following guidance law for the outer loop that creates steering acceleration command based on the desired flight path and the current position and velocity of the vehicle. The scheme considers the gravity in the guidance level, where it is subtracted from the acceleration command to form the specific force acceleration command which the aircraft is better suited to follow than the total acceleration command in the inner-loop. A roll attitude control scheme is also presented that enables inverted flight or sideslip maneuvers such as slow roll and knife-edge. A series of aerobatic maneuvers are demonstrated through simulations to show the potential of the proposed scheme.

This paper presents the flow passage design for a window cooling device, which have a conical poppet valve and an emissive orifice. Computational flow analysis and experiment are conducted according to the poppet strokes. The results show satisfactory flow characteristics that pressure is reduced enough to endure material strength and the flow does not choked inside window. The correction factor of discharge coefficients is found between 2-dimensional analysis and experiments, which is applied to control coolant flow rates of the window cooling device.

A short laser pulse irradiates a sample to create the highly energetic plasma that emits light of a specific wavelength peak according to the material. By identifying different peaks for the analyzed samples, its chemical composition can be rapidly determined. The LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) has great advantages as an elemental analyzer on board a space rover, namely real-time rapid analysis and stand-off detection. The LIBS signal intensity is remarkably increased by using double-pulse LIBS system for component analysis of lunar environments where the surrounding pressure is low. Also the angle of target is adjusted for replicating arbitrary shapes of the specimen.

In this study, a program has been coded to evaluate propeller thrust rapidly following the effects of propeller shapes and the environmental facts. At this time, Semi-infinite Helical Vortices model is used to predict the induction factor which is introduced by Kawada. This program is based on Wrench's Propeller lifting line theory, and it can predict aerodynamic coefficients such as thrust, power, and efficiency. First of all, this program is compared with test results of NACA reports to verify of the reliability. Secondly, subsonic wind tunnel test has been performed following variations of propeller's rpm and inflow velocities.

In this study, an aerodynamic performance analysis code has been developed as a part of rotorcraft comprehensive program. Airloads on rotor blades are calculated based on the blade element theory with look-up tables of aerodynamic coefficients of 2-D airfoils. In order to calculate rotor induced inflow, various inflow prediction methods such as linear inflow, dynamic inflow, prescribed wake and free wake model are integrated into the present module. The aerodynamic characteristics of each method are compared and validated against available experimental data such as Elliot's inflow distribution and sectional normal force coefficients of AH-1G.

2011년 7월 27일 서울 지역에 내린 시간당 100mm가 넘는 집중호우로 우면산 일대에 산사태가 발생하였고, 그 결과 많은 인명과 재산 피해가 야기되었다. 이러한 토석류로 인한 피해를 저감하기 위한 여러 연구가 이루어진 바 있으나, 대부분의 연구는 연행작용에 대해서 고려하지 못하고 있거나, 인명과 재산 피해의 큰 비중을 차지하는 건물은 모의 분석에 제외되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 연행작용을 고려할 수 있는 Deb2D 모형을 이용하여 하류부에서 토석류의 유동을 건물의 유/무를 구분하여 분석하였다. 우면산 북측사면의 산사태 전 후의 항공 LiDAR DEM을 활용하여 DB를 확보하였고, 추가적으로 수치지형도를 통해 얻은 피해지역 건물들의 형상을 Deb2D 모형에 적용하여 실제 환경과 가까운 모의를 수행하였다. 이러한 자료들을 바탕으로 Deb2D 모형을 이용한 토석류 유동의 분석 및 모의실험을 진행하였고, 발생 지역의 정보가 부족하다는 점을 고려하여 지질특성에 따른 매개변수를 다양한 값으로 산정하여 토석류의 유동을 비교 분석하였다. 건물의 유/무에 따른 토석류 유동의 차이는 유역 하류부인 피해지역에서 모의실험을 통해 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 연행작용과 건물의 정보를 분석 모형에 추가함으로써 실질적인 인명과 재산 피해를 예측하고, 예방할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper deals with a ZEM (Zero-Effort-Miss) based guidance law for the interception of moving targets and characteristics of the guidance law according to time-to-go estimation methods. To derive the ZEM vector feedback guidance command, we introduce a polynomial function with unknown coefficient, and then we determine the coefficient to satisfy initial and terminal constraints. Since the directions of the guidance command and ZEM vectors are adjusted by the time-to-go, general time-to-go estimation methods are proposed, which can generate the vertical and horizontal guidance commands with respect to an arbitrary reference frame. By performing various numerical simulations, the performance and characteristics of the proposed methods are investigated.
