  • 최근 위성발사체 시장에서 발사가격은 상당한 수준으로 낮아지고 있다. 이것은 약 10년전부터 발사 시장에 SpaceX 등의 민간기업이 진입하면서 소수 기업의 독점체제가 민간을 포함한 경쟁체제로 변하였고, 민간기업의 기술 및 경영 효율화가 적극적으로 도입되고 있기 때문이다. 또한 SpaceX는 2016년에 위성발사체 1단의 회수에 성공함으로써 재사용발사체의 서막을 열었고, 향후 재사용발사체를 활용하여 위성발사 가격을 획기적으로 낮추겠다고 공언하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 어떤 한 위성을 LEO 궤도에 올리기 위하여 필요한 총 발사비용을 계산하고, 3가지 경우의 임무중량에 대하여 각각의 발사비용을 비교하여 재사용발사체의 비용 효용성에 미치는 임무중량의 영향에 대하여 알아본다. 발사비용은 개발비용, 제작비용, 재사용비용, 운용비용, 고정비용 및 보험비용으로 구분하여 계산하며, 각 계산에 사용된 비용추정관계식은 TRNSCOST 등의 비용계산모델을 활용하여 사용하였다.

  • 터널 화재시 정체차량에 의한 정체길이가 터널연장을 초과할 경우, 환기저항의 증가에 따른 제연설비 용량의 증가가 발생하게 된다. 그러나 현행 방재지침에는 정체길이에 대한 정의가 없기 때문에 합리적 산출식의 제시가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 터널 화재시 정체차량 대수에 의한 정체길이의 산정식을 제시하고, 터널연장별 적용성 분석을 수행하였다. 일반적인 터널의 경우, 화재시 정체길이의 과도한 적용을 방지하기 위해서는 터널연장 1,200 m 까지는 정체길이와 터널연장과의 상호비교가 필요한 것으로 분석되었고, 모델터널에 대한 적용성 평가결과 제연용 제트팬의 절감효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 더불어 정체길이의 판별여부를 대형차혼입률과 터널연장의 관계로 설명할 수 있는 정량화 선도를 제시하였다. 결과적으로 제연설비 용량결정시, 정체차량에 의한 정체길이가 터널연장을 초과하는 경우에는 터널연장을 초과하는 차량대수는 차량에 의한 환기저항 산정에서 제외하는 것이 타당한 것으로 분석된다.

  • In this paper, nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) is addressed to develop formation guidance for multiple unmanned aerial vehicles. An NMPC algorithm predicts the behavior of a system over a receding time horizon, and the NMPC generates the optimal control commands for the horizon. The first input command is, then, applied to the system and this procedure repeats at each time step. The input constraint and state constraint for formation flight and inter-collision avoidance are considered in the proposed NMPC framework. The performance of NMPC for formation guidance critically degrades when there exists a communication failure. In order to address this problem, the modified optimal guidance law using only line-of-sight, relative distance, and own motion information is presented. If this information can be measured or estimated, the proposed formation guidance is sustainable with the communication failure. The performance of this approach is validated by numerical simulations.

  • This paper presents an algorithm for planning waypoints for the operation of a surveillance mission using cooperative unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a given map. This algorithm is rather simple and intuitive; therefore, this algorithm is easily applied to actual scenarios as well as easily handled by operators. It is assumed that UAVs do not possess complete information about targets; therefore, kinematics, intelligence, and so forth of the targets are not considered when the algorithm is in operation. This assumption is reasonable since the algorithm is solely focused on a surveillance mission. Various parameters are introduced to make the algorithm flexible and adjustable. They are related to various cost functions, which is the main idea of this algorithm. These cost functions consist of certainty of map, waypoints of co-worker UAVs, their own current positions, and a level of interest. Each cost function is formed by simple and intuitive equations, and features are handled using the aforementioned parameters.

  • This paper performs numerical prediction of fuel temperature in the fuel tanks of unmanned air vehicles for both ground static non-operating and in flight transient conditions. The calculation is carried out using a modified Dufort-Frankel scheme. For this calculation, it is assumed that a non-operating vehicle on the ground is subjected to repeating daily cycles of ambient temperature with solar radiation and wind under 1%, with a 20% probability of hot day conditions. The energy conservation equation is used as the governing equation to calculate heat transfer between the fuel tank surface and the ambient environment. Results of the present analysis may be used as the estimated initial values of fuel temperatures in a vehicle's fuel tank for the purpose of analyzing transient fuel temperatures during various flight missions. This research also demonstrates that the fuel temperature of the front tank is higher than that of the rear tank, and that the difference between the two temperatures increases in the later phases of flight due to the consumption of fuel.

  • New formation flight controller for unmanned aerial vehicles is proposed. A behavioral decentralized control approach called formation geometry center control is adopted. Trajectory tracking as well as formation geometry keeping are the purpose of the formation flight, and therefore two controllers are designed: a trajectory tracking controller for reference trajectory tracking, and a position controller for formation geometry keeping. Each controller is designed using Lyapunov stability theorem to guarantee the asymptotic stability. Formation flight controller is finally obtained by combining the trajectory tracking controller and the formation geometry keeping controller using a weighting parameter that depends on the relative distance error between unmanned aerial vehicles. Numerical simulations are performed to validate the performance of the proposed controller.

  • In recent, recreational vehicles, which efficiently provide wide inner space for various utilities, are highly preferred in automobile market. Though those vehicles enable to load much luggage in space behind the last seat, in case of frontal impact with high velocity the luggage strongly collides into the seat back and the passengers in. the last seat could be severely injured. Therefore, high strength against luggage intrusion is required for the last seat, and it is regulated by law of ECE R17. In this study, for a recreational vehicle under developing, an analysis technique for simulating seat crash in accordance with luggage intrusion test of ECE R17 was investigated. The results exhibited good correlation with the test ones.

  • The airflow along the surface of a launch vehicle together with base flow of clustered nozzles cause problems which may affect the stability or efficiency of the entire vehicle. The problem may occur when the vehicle is on the launching pad or even during flight. As for such problems, local steady-state loads, overall steady-state loads, buffet, ground wind loads, base heating and rocket-nozzle hinge moments are examined here specifically.

  • We study on a terrain contour matching algorithm using Radial Basis Functions(RBFs) for aided inertial navigation system for position fixing aircraft, cruise missiles or re-entry vehicles. The parameter optimization technique is used for updating the parameters describing the characteristics of an area with modified Gaussian least square differential correction algorithm and the step size limitation filter according to the amount of updates. We have applied the algorithm for matching a sampled area with a target area supposed that the area data are available from Radar Terrain Sensor(RTS) and Reference Altitude Sensor(RAS)
