The shock absorber is very important in various mechanical field. Without the shock absorber, the structure might be broken. For lunar lander, honeycomb shock absorber to absorber the shock by using plastic deformation of honeycomb has been used. It is cheap and simple to use but impossible using again without changing the honeycomb. The oleo-pneumatic type shock absorber is not able to use in the cosmos because it is vacuum and its temperature. This study suggests the hybrid shock absorber combined spring-ratchet mechanical shock absorber and eddy current electromagnetic damper. The ratchet restricts rebound of lunar lander and the spring converts the impact energy to the potential energy of the spring. The eddy current damper dissipates the impact energy by eddy current force without contact between the parts. This hybrid shock absorber is reusable while the honeycomb shock absorber isn't. The impact absorbing test of the hybrid shock absorber was carried out. This paper shows that the compared results the hybrid shock absorber with ratchet and without ratchet and evaluates the possibility of using for lunar lander.

The Korea Aerospace Research Institute plans to launch a lunar module by 2025, and so is carrying out a preliminary study. Landing stability on the lunar surface is a key design factor of a lunar module. In this paper, a 1/6 scale model of a lunar module is investigated, for its landing stability on non-level surfaces. The lunar module has four tripod legs, with aluminum honeycomb shock absorbers in each leg strut. ADAMS$^{TM}$, the most widely used multi-body dynamics and motion analysis software, is used to simulate the module's lunar landing. Three types of dampers in the struts (rigid, viscous, and aluminum honeycomb dampers), and two types of lunar surfaces (rigid and elastic) are considered. The Sforce function is adopted, to model the aluminum honeycomb dampers. Details on the modeling and analysis of the landing stability of the 1/6 scale lunar module and the simulation results are provided in this paper.

본 연구의 목적은 내진규준이 적용되기 이전에 건설된 역사건물의 내진성능 평가 및 내진보강이다. 이를 위하여 2층 RC 역사건물의 내진성능이 평가되었다. 동적해석에 의한 층간변위비 및 층전단력 평가결과, 층전단력이 설계기준의 밑면전단력을 초과하는 것으로 평가되어 적절한 내진보강이 필요한 것으로 평가되었다. 내진성능 향상을 위하여 총 4개의 강재댐퍼가 사용되었다. 해석 변수는 강재댐퍼 형상 및 설치 방법이다. 동적해석결과 역 K가새로 설치되는 슬릿댐퍼가 다른 댐퍼 형상 및 설치 방법보다 우수한 내진성능을 가진 것으로 평가되었다.
