본 논문에서는 최근에 개발된 고해상도 지구관측위성의 본체 형상설계 동향에 대해 기술하고자 한다. 인공위성의 본체는 임무, 탑재체, 발사환경, 임무특성, 자세제어 및 추진시스템에 따라 다양한 형상을 갖는다. 또한 2000년대 들어서 시작된 위성영상의 상업화에 따른 영상수요의 증가는 고해상도 영상을 신속히 많이 획득할 수 있는 위성시스템을 요구하고 있다. 이러한 요구에 맞춰 위성의 본체는 가벼우면서도 안정적으로 탑재체를 지지할 수 있도록 설계되고 있으며, 이 중에 형상설계 변화를 본 논문에서 집중적으로 살펴본다.

관성센서는 항법 시스템에서 매우 중요한 요소로서, 다수의 관성 센서를 특정한 기하학적 형상으로 배치하여 시스템의 성능과 신뢰도를 향상시킬 수 있다. 이 때 시스템 신뢰도 향상을 위한 고장검출 및 분리는 배치된 각 센서의 신호를 비교하여 이루어지며, 몇 가지 형태에 대한 최적 조건이 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중원추 배치형상을 제시하여 항법 최적성능을 위한 조건을 정리하고, 이러한 조건 하에서 기존에 정의된 성능지표를 사용하여 고장검출 및 분리 성능을 분석하였다. 성능지표 비교 결과, 다중 원추배치 형상이 이전에 제시된 다른 형상들보다 고장검출 및 분리 성능 측면에서 더 뛰어나다는 것을 확인하였다.

This study investigates the effects of OSRVM mounting location and its configurations such as stalk height and housing height on the aerodynamic performance of the passenger car. In order to validate the flow solver, FLUENT which is very well known commercial code, the flow field around an Ahmed Body was analyzed numerically and compared with the experimental data. The predicted aerodynamic performance and flow patterns around a car show good agreements with the experimental data. Mounting location and stalk height should be designed while OSRVM is mounted on the car to evaluate the aerodynamic performance precisely. Housing height, however, may be designed independent of the car because the aerodynamic interference between housing height and car configuration is negligible.

The counter-flow jet from a supersonic/hypersonic vehicle causes a structural change in the shock wave generated around the aircraft, which can lead to reduced drag and heat loads. Since the idea is to mount a counter-flow jet device for drag reduction in the aircraft, it is necessary to understand the effect of such a device on the entire aircraft. In this study, the effect of drag reduction due to counter-flow jet on a conventional rocket configuration was analyzed through CFD analysis. The results showed that the drag reduction effect was the largest in the blunt region and that the counter-flow jet also affected the downstream of the aircraft. The analysis indicated that the drag reduction effect by the counter-flow jet was about 10 to 25 % when targeting the entire rocket-shaped area, while the effect was as high as 50% when targeting only blunt objects.

개념설계는 복합시스템인 무인기의 성공적인 개발을 위해 가장 중요한 단계로써 간단한 성능해석과 형상설계가 수행된다. 개념설계 단계에서의 성능해석은 복잡한 해석도구를 사용하기 보다는 주로 경험식이나 통계적 데이터를 이용한 추세방정식을 사용한다. 무인기의 형상은 매우 다양하여 개념설계 단계에서 이러한 모든 항공기 형상을 고려하기에는 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 무인기 개념설계를 위해 주요 성능변수에 대한 추세방정식을 도출하였고, 자주 사용되는 형상 선정을 위해 최대이륙중량 50-1,500kg 급의 중소형 무인기에 대한 데이터베이스를 구축하였다. 또한 주요 성능변수들에 대한 파라미터 분석을 수행하였으며, 이들 성능변수에 대한 상관도 분석결과에 따라 높은 상관도를 보이는 최대이륙중량과 날개폭을 기준으로 각 성능요소별 회귀분석을 수행하여 추세방정식을 도출하였다.

High Altitude and Long Endurance (HALE) aircraft are capable of providing intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities over vast geographic areas when equipped with advanced sensor packages. As their use becomes more widespread, the demand for additional range, endurance and payload capability will increase and designers are exploring non-conventional configurations to meet the increasing demands. One such configuration is the joined-wing concept. A joined-wing aircraft is one that typically connects a front and aft wings in a diamond shaped planform. One such example is the Boeing SensorCraft configuration. While the joined-wing configuration offers potential benefits regarding aerodynamic efficiency, structural weight, and sensing capabilities, structural design requires careful consideration of elastic buckling resulting from the aft wing supporting, in compression, part of the forward wing structural loading. It has been shown already that this is a nonlinear phenomenon, involving geometric nonlinearities and follower forces that tend to flatten the entire configuration, leading to structural overload due to the loss of the aft wing's ability to support the forward wing load. Severe gusts are likely to be the critical design condition, with flight control system interaction in the form of Gust Load Alleviation (GLA) playing a key role in minimizing the structural loads. The University of Victoria Center for Aerospace Research (UVic-CfAR) has built a 3-meter span scaled and flexible wing UAV based on the Boeing SensorCraft design. The goal is to validate the nonlinear structural behavior in flight. The main objective of this research work is to perform Ground Vibration Tests (GVT) to characterize the dynamic properties of the scaled flight vehicle. Results from the experimental tests are used to characterize the modal dynamics of the aircraft, and to validate the numerical models. The GVT results are an important step towards a safe flight test program.

The NEA release mechanism is used to provide restraint and release functions with low shock for critical deployment operations on solar arrays after launch. The GK3 solar array consists of 2 wings and 6 hold down points per panel. The NEA SSD9103S1 is a part of the GK3 solar array hold-down and release mechanism. Each NEA unit is equipped with two Z-diodes which provide power to a NEA unit connected in series after actuation of the fuse wire. This paper presents the hot firing test results of a quadrature NEA SSD9103S1 configuration. One output powers a maximum of 4 NEA SSD9103S1 units simultaneously. The necessary actuation pulse duration has been determined to meet margin requirement for thermal energy of minimum 4. Actuation thermal energy difference is about 6.6% between each half of two fired serial NEAs. Thermal energy margin at worst case is minimum 5.9 in case of an actuation pulse duration of 500 ms. Two series Zener impedance depend on current applied has been characterized by an additional actuation after all fuse wires are open circuit. Total number of actuation commands to the GK3 NEA unit reduce drastically from 24 in case of single NEA configuration down to 8 in case of parallel and quadrature NEA configurations. It can be accommodated by the existing HP2U Pyro design without any impact.

A well-designed mesh shape of the cable net is of essential significance to achieve high performance of cable-network antenna reflectors. This paper is concerned with the mesh design problem for such antenna reflector structure. Two new methods for creating the topological forms of the cable net are first presented. Among those, the cyclosymmetry method is useful to generate different polygon-faceted meshes, while the topological mapping method is suitable for acquiring triangle-faceted meshes with different mesh grid densities. Then, the desired spatial paraboloidal mesh geometrical configuration in the state of static equilibrium is formed by applying a simple mesh generation approach based on the force density method. The main contribution of this study is that a general technical guide for how to create the connectivities between the nodes and members in the cable net is provided from the topological point of view. With the new idea presented in this paper, multitudes of mesh configurations with different net patterns can be sought by a certain rule rather than by empiricism, which consequently gives a valuable technical reference for the mesh design of this type of cable-network structures in the engineering.
