This paper deals with supersonic air-breathing missile system. A supersonic air-breathing missile system has very complicated and incoherent thrust characteristics with respect to outer and inner environment during operation. For this reason, the missile system has many maneuver constraints and is allowed to operate within narrow flight envelope. In this paper, trajectory optimization of the missile is accomplished. The trajectory optimization problem is formulated as a discrete parameter optimization problem. For this formulation, Legendre Pseudo-Spectral method is introduced. This method is based on calculating the state and control variables on Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto (LGL) points. This approach helps to find approximated derivative and integration quantities simply. It is shown that, for this trajectory optimization, trend analysis is performed from thrust characteristics on various conditions so that the trajectory optimization is accomplished with fine initial guess with these results.

In the discrete formulation of the bubble stabilized Legendre Galerkin methods, the system of equations includes the artificial viscosity term as the parameter. We investigate the estimation of this parameter to get the optimal solution which minimizes the maximum error. Some numerical results are reported.

The numerical solution of the Stokes equation with discontinuous viscosity and singular force term is challenging, due to the discontinuity of pressure, non-smoothness of velocity, and coupled discontinuities along interface.In this paper, we give an efficient algorithm to solve this problem by employing spectral Legendre and Chebyshev approximations.First, we present the algorithm for a problem defined in rectangular domain with straight line interface. Then it is generalized to a domain with smooth curve boundary and interface by employing spectral element method. Numerical experiments demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of our algorithm and its spectral convergence.

A Legendre spectral tau approximation scheme for solving the two-dimensional stationary incompressible Stokes equations is considered. Based on the vorticity-stream function formulation and variational forms, boundary value and normal derivative of vorticity are computed. A factorization technique for matrix stems based on the Schur decomposition is derived. Several numerical experiments are performed.

An investigation is made in the present work on the post-buckling and geometrically nonlinear behaviors of moderately thick perfect and imperfect rectangular plates made-up of functionally graded materials. Spectral collocation approach based on Legendre basis functions is developed to analyze the functionally graded plates while they are subjected to end-shortening strain. The material properties in this study are varied through the thickness according to the simple power law distribution. The fundamental equations for moderately thick rectangular plates are derived using first order shear deformation plate theory and taking into account both geometric nonlinearity and initial geometric imperfections. In the current study, the domain of interest is discretized with Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto nodes. The equilibrium equations will be obtained by discretizing the Von-Karman's equilibrium equations and also boundary conditions with finite Legendre basis functions that are substituted into the displacement fields. Due to effect of geometric nonlinearity, the final set of equilibrium equations is nonlinear and therefore the quadratic extrapolation technique is used to solve them. Since the number of equations in this approach will always be more than the number of unknown coefficients, the least squares technique will be used. Finally, the effects of boundary conditions, initial geometric imperfection and material properties are investigated and discussed to demonstrate the validity and capability of proposed method.

This article investigates various transcription techniques for the Legendre pseudospectral (PS) method to compare the pros and cons of each approach. Eight combinations from four different types of collocation points and two discretization methods for dynamic constraints, which differentiate Legendre PS transcription techniques, are implemented to solve a carefully selected test set of nonlinear optimal control problems (NOCPs). The convergence property and prediction accuracy are compared to provide a useful guideline for selecting the best combination. The tested NOCPs consist of the minimum time, minimum energy, and problems with state and control constraints. Therefore, the results drawn from this comparative study apply to the solution of similar types of NOCPs and can mitigate much debate about the best combinations. Additionally, important findings from this study can be used to improve the numerical efficiency of the Legendre PS methods. Three PS applications to the aerospace engineering problems are demonstrated to prove this point.

본 논문에서는 구형 유전체 위에 있는 구형 패치의 전파 특성으로서 공진 특성과 방사 특성을 분석하였다. 공진 주파수와 Q를 계산하여 특정 모드의 공진 특성을 해석하였으며, 원거리에서의 전기장을 계산하여 방사 특성을 해석하였다. 구형 유전체의 해석을 위해 스펙트럴 영역 해석법(spectral domain analysis method)를 적용하였으며, Vector Legendre transform pair와 Galerkin's method를 이용하여 스펙트럴 영역으로 변환한 후 대수식으로 정리하여 효율적인 계산을 할 수 있었으며, 이를 통해 구형 패치의 반지름이나 곡률, 유전체의 특성이 구형 패치의 특성에 미치는 영향을 해석하였다.

The spectral collocation method for a second order elliptic boundary value problem on a domain ${\Omega}$ with curved boundaries is studied using the Gordon and Hall transformation which enables us to have a transformed elliptic problem and a square domain S = [0, h] ${\times}$ [0, h], h > 0. The preconditioned system of the spectral collocation approximation based on Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto points by the matrix based on piecewise bilinear finite element discretizations is shown to have the high order accuracy of convergence and the efficiency of the finite element preconditioner.

탄성파 수치 모형 계산에 있어서 다양한 방법들이 개발되어 적용되었다. 최근에는 특히 탄성파 수치 모형 계산에 있어 혁신적인 방법인 SEM (Spectral Element Method)가 개발되어 사용되어 왔다. 이 방법은 지형을 자유롭게 표현하는데 있어 유연한 유한요소법의 장점에 정확성을 높인 방법이다. 일반적으로 Weak Formulation 형태의 파동방정식에 육면체 요소와 Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre 적분법을 적용한 방법이 널리 사용된다. 일반적인 SEM에서는 PML (Perfectly Matched Layer)경계조건을 적용하기 어려워 속도-응력 변분식으로 파동방정식을 변경하였다. CFS-PML (Complex frequency Shifted PML)경계조건을 ADE (Auxiliary Differential Equation)방정식으로 변경하여 속도-응력 파동방정식에 적용함으로써 분리할 필요가 없는 PML을 적용한 SEM 수치 모형 계산 알고리듬을 구현하였다. 1차원 수치모형과 3차원 수치모형 실험을 통하여 SEM에 적용한 비분리 CFS-PML이 유한경계에서 인공적으로 반사되는 반사파를 효과적으로 제거하는 것을 확인하였다.
