Human Powered Aircraft (HPA) should be light in weight and have high efficiency because power source of propulsion is human muscles. Airframe structure takes up most of empty weight of aircraft, so weight reduction of structure is very important issue for HPA. In this paper, design/analysis/test procedures for ultra light weight structure of the HPA developed by Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI) are explained briefly. Structural design is conducted through case studies on HPA in the USA and Japan. Loads analysis is performed to calculate design loads which is needed for structural design and analysis. Structural analysis is conducted for structure sizing. Static strength test of main wing spar which is primary structure of wing is performed to verify structural integrity.

Titanium aluminides have attracted special interest as light-weight/high-temperature materials for structural applications. The major problem limiting practical use of these compounds is their poor ductility and formability. The powder metallurgy processing route has been an attractive alternative for such materials. A mixture of Ti and Al elemental powders was fabricated to a mechanical alloying process. The processed powder was hot pressed in a vacuum, and a fully densified compact with ultra-fine grain structure consisting of Ti₃Al intermetallic compound was obtained. During the compressive deformation of the compact at 1173 K, typical dynamic recrystallization (DR), which introduces a certain extent of grain refinement, was observed. The compact had high density and consisted of an ultra-fine equiaxial grain structure. Average grain diameter was 1.5 ㎛. Typical TEM micrographs depicting the internal structure of the specimen deformed to 0.09 true strain are provided, in which it can be seen that many small recrystallized grains having no apparent dislocation structure are generated at grain boundaries where well-developed dislocations with high density are observed in the neighboring grains. The compact showed a large m-value such as 0.44 at 1173 K. Moreover, the grain structure remained equiaxed during deformation at this temperature. Therefore, the compressive deformation of the compact was presumed to progress by superplastic flow, primarily controlled by DR.

Sandwich structures, which are composed of a thick core between two faces, are commonly used in many engineering applications because they combine high stiffness and strength with low weight. Accordingly, the usage of sandwich structure is very widely applied to the aircraft, the automobile and marine industry, etc., because of these advantages. In this paper, we have investigated the buckling protection of an inner structure plate and the useful corrugated configuration for contact, and the fabrication method of the inner structure plate for large area using the continuous molding process. Also, we have guaranteed the accuracy of the molding process through the micro corrugated mold fabrication and secured the accuracy and analyzed aspect properties of the inner structure plate fabricated for a large area using the partial mold process.

본 논문은 공중에서 회전하면서 광대역 신호를 방향 탐지하고 수신하는 반사판 안테나 급전기용 초광대역 LPDA(Log-Periodic Dipole Array) 안테나를 제안한다. S 대역부터 Ka 대역까지 20:1 이상의 초광대역 특성을 확보하기 위해 평면기판 위에 방사소자를 인쇄하였고, 기판 사이에 견고한 구조의 쐐기형 유전체 지지대를 삽입하였다. 또한, 무게를 줄이기 위해 지지대 중심 부분을 스티로폼 재질로 대체하였다. 설계된 LPDA 안테나의 5-dB 반사손실 대역폭은 시뮬레이션 37.57:1(1.09~40.95 GHz), 측정 33.85:1(1.31~44.35 GHz)로 초광대역 특성을 나타내었다. 동작 대역에서 평균 이득은 시뮬레이션, 측정 각각 5.79 dBi, 5.76 dBi로서 요구하는 이득을 확보하였다. 제안된 견고하고 가벼운 초광대역 LPDA 안테나는 항공용으로 적용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, a six degree-of-freedom robot arm which is very light but capable of delivering heavy loads was studied. The proposed robot arm has much higher load capacity than conventional robot arms actuated by motors with speed reducers such as the harmonic drive since a new type of robot actuator based on a closed chain mechanism driven by the ball screw was adopted. Analysis on the design scheme and on the mechanism of the joint actuator of the robot arm were made. Since the robot arm was designed very light, it has deflection in the links. To analyze this, a finite element analysis on the structure of the designed robot links was made using ANSYS software. Verifying experiments on the performance of high load capacity of the robot arm was performed by loading heavy weights on the robot arm. Through experiments. the correctness of the numerical analysis was also verified.

최근 들어 콘크리트 구조물이 대형화됨에 따라 초고강도 콘크리트에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 초고강도 콘크리트 개발을 위해서는 혼화제, 혼합재 등의 재료와 더불어 골재의 품질(초고강도, 균질성)이 중요한 요인으로 작용한다. 그러나 일반적으로 사용되는 자연골재(쇄석 포함)는 전체 로트가 초고강도 품질을 유지하기가 어렵기 때문에 초고강도용으로 사용하기에는 많은 제약점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 균일한 초고강도 품질을 보장할 수 있는 세라믹 골재를 개발하여 초고강도 콘크리트에 적용하였다. 골재와 시멘트 페이스트 계면의 접착력을 높이도록 표면 코팅 처리된 초고강도 세라믹 골재를 적용하여 초고강도 콘크리트를 제조하였다. 천연 골재와 비슷한 비중의 세라믹 골재와 더불어 세라믹 골재를 경량화(밀도 2.2 $g/cm^3$)한 콘크리트 실험도 실시하였다.

Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) compared to normal concrete is exhibiting extremely high strength characteristics with compressive strength and tensile strength reaching 200MPa and 15MPa, respectively. The mechanical characteristics of UHPC can be thus exploited advantageously in the construction of structure through the reduction of the cross-sectional area and fabrication of slim and light-weight of the structural members. In the case where the structural member is made of UHPC, the occurrence of crack can be prevented by releasing the restraint provided by the form in due time. This research performs parametric study of the failure characteristics of concrete such as failure energy and softening curve suggested by the viscous crack model approximating the failure of concrete. The scope of this research contains the results of tests performed to investigate the strength of UHPC during early elapsed time.
