This paper presents the air-to-air missile autopilot design for a $180^{\circ}$ heading reversal maneuver during boost-phase. The missile's dynamics are linearized at a set of operating points for which angle of attack controllers are designed to cover an extended flight envelope. Then, angle of attack controllers are designed for this set of points, utilizing a pole-placement approach. The controllers' gains in the proposed configuration are computed from aerodynamic coefficients and design parameters in order to satisfy designer-chosen criteria. These design parameters are the closed-loop frequency, damping ratio, and time constant; these represent the characteristics of the control system. To cope with highly nonlinear and rapidly time varying dynamics during boost-phase, the global gain-scheduled controller is obtained by interpolating the controllers' gains over variations of the angle of attack, Mach number, and center of gravity. Simulation results show that the proposed autopilot design provides satisfactory performance and possesses good [ed: or "sufficient" or "excellent"] capabilities.

This paper demonstrates how to implement inherent pitching stability in an insect-mimicking flapping-wing system for vertical takeoff. Design and fabrication of the insect-mimicking flapping-wing system is briefly described focusing on the recent modification. Force produced by the flapping-wing systems is estimated using the UBET (Unsteady Blade Element Theory) developed in the previous work. The estimation shows that the wing twist placed in the modified system can improve thrust production for about 10 %. The estimated thrust is compared with the measured thrust, which proves that the UBET provides fairly good estimations for the thrust produced by the flapping-wing systems. The vertical takeoff test shows that inherent pitching stability can be implemented in an insect-mimicking flapping-wing system by aligning the aerodynamic force center and center of gravity.

This paper describes the cycloidal wind turbine, which is a straight blade vertical axis wind turbine using the cycloidal blade system. Cycloidal blade system consists of several blades rotating about an axis in parallel direction. Each blade changes its pitch angle periodically. Cycloidal wind turbine is different from the previous turbines. The wind turbine operates with optimum rotating forces through active control of the blade to change pitch angle and phase angle according to the changes of wind direction and wind speed. Various numerical experiments were conducted to develop a small vertical axis wind turbine of 1 kW class. For this numerical analysis, the rotor system equips four blades consisting of a symmetric airfoil NACA0018 of 1.0m in span, 0.22m in chord and 1.0m in radius. A general purpose commercial CFD program, STAR-CD, was used for numerical analysis. PCL of MSC/PATRAN was used for efficient parametric auto mesh generation. Variables of wind speed, pitch angle, phase angle and rotating speed were set in the numerical experiments. The generated power was obtained according to the various combinations of these variables. Optimal pitch angle and phase angle of cycloidal blade system were obtained according to the change of the wind direction and the wind speed. Based on data obtained from the above analysis, control device was designed. The wind direction and the wind speed were sensed by a wind indicator and an anemometer. Each blades were actuated to optimal performance values by servo motors.

초음속 유동장치를 사용하여 제트 베인형 추력편향장치의 이론적 해석과 성능평가를 수행하였다. 현재 개발되었거나, 개발중인 제트 베인형 추력편향장치는 전술미사일이나 로켓의 공중발사, 함대발사, 수중발사 미사일과 고 고도 자세제어에 사용되고 있다. 저속도, 고 앙각의 비행시나 공기가 희박한 고 고도에서는 공력제어의 부족한 제어력을 향상시키기 위해 추력편향장치를 이용하여 추력 방향을 변경하고 제어력을 얻음으로써 방향 제어에 보다 월등한 성능을 발휘하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 제트 베인 방식의 추력편향장치는 고도와 주위환경에 관계없이 작동되며, 제트 베인 편향각 $30^{\circ}$ 까지 효과적인 성능을 발휘하여 발사 초기시 그 성능을 이상적으로 나타낸다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자체 제작한 초음속유동장치의 성능시험 수행 및 노즐에서 발생되는 초음속 제트를 가시화하고, 2종의 제트 베인의 형상과 편향각에 따른 유동특성에 대해 조사하였다.

최근 무인항공기(UAV : Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)에 대한 연구가 다양한 각도로 진행되어 군사용 비행체에 관한 연구에서 부터 민간용 비행체 및 일반 취미 활동용 비행체에 이르기까지 다양하게 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 무인 소형 비행체에 대한 연구는 수직이착륙(VTOL : Vertical Take-Off and Landing)과 용이한 방향전환 및 정지비행(hovering)에 대하여 연구되고 있으며, 이러한 연구부분에 적합한 무인 소형 비행체가 쿼드로터(quardrotor)형 무인비행체를 중심으로 연구되고 있다. 이러한 무인 비행체에 대한 연구는 공기역학적 힘에 의해 부양되므로 복잡한 동역학 분석과정을 필요로 하고 있으며, 이러한 역학적 분석 및 실험적 모델을 바탕으로 제어기를 설계하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 PID 제어기를 바탕으로 기본적인 자세제어를 구현한 후, 제어기 설계에 고려하지 못한 비선형적인 요소를 신경회로망(neural networks)의 강화학습(reinforcement learning) 알고리즘을 이용하여 일반적인 제어기 설계에 고려하지 못한 비선형적인 요소를 보완하여 보다 안정적인 쿼드로터의 자세제어 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

로켓 추진에 의한 동력 비행 중 비행체의 자세제어를 위해, 대기권내 비행에 있어서는 공력비행 조정익으로 조종할 수 있으나 공기가 희박한 높은 고도나 대기권 밖에서의 비행은 추력벡터제어에 의존할 수밖에 없다. 추력벡터제어 방법으로 현재 여러 가지 장치가 개발되어 사용되고 있는데 본 연구는 로켓이 비행하는 동안 김발에 의해 연결된 로켓엔진 전체를 움직여 엔진에서 발생한 추력의 방향을 조종하여 로켓의 자세를 제어하는 김발엔진구동 추력벡터제어방식에 대한 내용을 다루었다. 로켓에 적용 가능한 김발엔진 구동장치로는 전기유압식, 전기기계식, 공압식 장치 등이 있으나 큰 동력이 요구되는 시스템에서는 대부분 출력 대 무게비가 높은 전기유압식 구동장치가 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 KSR-III의 추력벡터제어를 위해 사용되는 전기유압식 김발엔진 서보구동시스템을 상세모델링하였고 이에 기초하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 그리고 시뮬레이션 결과와 실제 시스템을 대상으로 시험한 결과를 비교하여 모델을 검증하였다.

A control algorithm for a 100 kW wind turbine is designed in this study. The wind turbine is operating as a variable speed variable pitch (VSVP) status. Also, this wind turbine is a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) Type. For the medium capacity wind turbine considered in this study, it was found that the optimum tip speed ratios to achieve the maximum power coefficients varied with wind speeds. Therefore a commercial blade element momentum theory and multi-body dynamics based program was implemented to consider the variation of aerodynamic coefficients with respect to Reynolds numbers and to find out the power and thrust coefficients with respect tip speed ratio and blade pitch angles. In the end a basic power controller was designed for below rated, transition and above rated regions, and a load reduction algorithm was designed to reduce tower vibration by the nacelle motion. As a result, damage equivalent Load (DEL) of tower fore-aft has been reduced by 32%. From dynamic simulations in the commercial program, the controller was found to work properly as designed. Experimental validation of the control algorithm will be done in the future.

An Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) for estimation of the attitude and rate of a spacecraft using only magnetometer vector measurement is developed. The attitude dynamics used in the estimation is the nonlinear Euler's rotational equation which is augmented with the quaternion kinematics to construct a process model. The filter is designed for small satellite in low Earth orbit, so the disturbance torques include gravity-gradient torque, magnetic disturbance torque, and aerodynamic drag torque. The magnetometer measurements are simulated based on time-varying position of the spacecraft. The filter has been tested not only in the standby mode but also in the detumbling mode. Two types of actuators have been modeled and applied in the simulation. The PD controller is used for the two types of actuators (reaction wheels and thrusters) to detumble the spacecraft. The estimation error converged to within 5 deg for attitude and 0.1 deg/s for rate respectively when the two types of actuators were used. A joint state parameter estimation has been tested and the effect of the process noise covariance on the parameter estimation has been indicated. Also, Monte-Carlo simulations have been performed to test the capability of the filter to converge with the initial conditions sampled from a uniform distribution. Finally, the UKF performance has been compared to that of the EKF and it demonstrates that UKF slightly outperforms EKF. The developed algorithm can be applied to any type of small satellites that are actuated by magnetic torquers, reaction wheels or thrusters with a capability of magnetometer vector measurements for attitude and rate estimation.

We examined the association of particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter < $10\;{\mu}m$ ($PM_{10}$) with asthma-related hospitalization, stratified by socioeconomic status (SES), among children less than 15 years of age in Seoul, Korea, between 2003 and 2005. In addition, we estimated the reduction in the number of asthma-related hospitalizations that would result from implementing the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline. SES was defined based on data concerning health insurance premium grades, and grouped into two levels: lower-income group and control group. The lower-income group was classified as having an accumulated income which did not exceed the 50th percentile of the median income. Time-series analysis was performed to evaluate the association between $PM_{10}$ and asthma-related hospitalization. The Environmental Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program was used to analyze the impact on children's health. Based upon an increase of $10\;{\mu}g/m^3$ of $PM_{10}$, the asthma-related hospitalization risk for the lower-income group was increased by 1.78% (95% confidence intervals (CI) = 0.79-2.78%), while the risk for the control group was increased by 0.83% (95% CI = 0.34-1.32%). Attaining the WHO guideline, relative to the concentration in 2007, would result in a reduction in asthma-related hospitalizations of 18 cases per 100,000 of the children population in the lower-income group, and 7 cases in the control group. The health benefits of improved air quality for children in the lower-income group were thus 2.5 times greater than for children in the control group. Our results show that the lower-income group is disproportionately burdened with asthma-related hospitalization arising from air pollution. Therefore, biologically- and socioeconomically-disadvantaged populations should be considered in public health interventions in order to protect the children's health.
