  • A validation study is conducted for the conceptual design and performance analysis of UH-60A Black Hawk in order to establish the conceptual design and performance analysis techniques for conventional helicopters using a single main rotor and a tail rotor. As a tool for conceptual design and analysis, NDARC(NASA Design and Analysis of Rotorcraft) is used for the present study. The conceptual design for UH-60A is successfully validated as compared with the target values. Then, various performance analyses in hover and forward flight are conducted for the UH-60A model obtained from the present design work, and they are compared well with the wind tunnel test, flight test, and previous analyses using various analysis tools. Through this validation work, the conceptual design and performance analysis techniques for the conventional helicopter are appropriately established.

  • An industrial process is a sequence of steps intended to perform a useful task in an industrial organization, and can be described using a model or a representation framework such as function model, information model, process flow model, etc. Many researchers, however, claim that, all those models from different perspectives are required to describe complex systems such as CIMS. Thus these perspectives should be put together to build an optimal system. And the need for interconnection or transformation among different view points has arisen for effective communications between system developers and easy propogation of local changes in a model. But it seems to be difficult to integrate such models into a unified framework as they describe different aspects of the system on different purposes. This study is an attempt to interconnect these different perspectives, and thereby to support conceptual design of systems in a more effective manner. A methodology to transform the IDEFO functional model into a process flow model is proposed. The validity of the proposed approach is tested by developing a prototye of a computer-assisted design system on the operation processes of FMS installed at Seoul National University - Automation and Systems Research Institute.

  • Aesthetics of use for modern people can be regarded as being weighted toward universal and rational function since it has focused on an 'automation and efficiency' and 'smartness' in terms of technological and human engineering position. Thus, aesthetics of use as an individual agent has remained in minimal level. This study attempts to seek conceptual model of design regarding the behavior of users from the systematization of critical theories about the usability. To do that, 'HERTZAIN TALES' written by Anthony Dune and the concept and system of Droog Design have been used as a core standard. In line with the various experiments by artist groups such as Fluxus, Memphis group and the work of product semantics, and inherent characteristics of Droog design, which has surfaced from the 1990s, concepts that has mentioned in the Hertzain tales have been organized into main texts. By overcoming cognitive bias inherent in the material culture and by overcoming an existing usability based on immateriality and dialectic solution, the autonomy of critical design and instrumentality of Droog design have been systemized. By interpreting the design aspect of 12 pieces that have been submitted to the RE;MIND section, the core of this study, it has been confirmed that conceptual and critical design's aesthetics of use From the interpretation of the design aspect of 12 pieces that have been submitted to the RE;MIND section, the core of this study, it has been confirmed that conceptual and critical design's aesthetics of use has established the autonomy and independence of the behavior of users, created functional articulation of materials and secured new conceptual model and thus, could be an effective methodical clue for creating an emergent design.

  • Objective: The propose of this study is to build a conceptual framework for representing clinical findings in Traditional East Asian Medicine(TEAM). As the existing standard models have been developed without considering features of Traditional Medicine, in this study we introduced unique characteristics for the TEAM. Method: This study was composed of three steps. First, we analyzed whether the existing clinical information models are suitable for representing clinical findings. Second, we analyzed ISO/TS 22789 model which is a ISO medical informatics standard, to find out the problem by applying clinical findings of TEAM into the model. Finally, we defined semantic links and a concept hierarchy in our model based on the analyzed results. The model includes the concepts for clinical findings and terms, and the semantic links can be regarded as relations between concepts, so that the representating clinical findings are completed by connecting concepts with other concepts. Results: Our framework was developed by removing unnecessary semantic links, and adding some necessary ones based on ISO/TS 22789 model. The ISO/TS 22789 model has a simple concept hierarchy, but in this study we subdivided the hierarchy and also considered interoperability with other terminological systems and standard models. Conclusions: This research needs more discussions, but is meaningful as proposing a way how to develop Traditional Medicine terminological systems. This study shows the limitations of existing models in describing clinical findings for TEAM, and what should be considered to represent Traditional Medicine knowledge, and propose a solution to improve the problem.

  • The purpose of this paper is to show how conceptual data modeling can enhance current information retrieval (IR) systems. The conceptual database design provides for: 1) data mining capability to discover new knowledge based on the relationships between entities, and 2) integrating current separate databases into one IR system (e.g., integrating ISI Citation, a thesaurus, and bibliographic databases into one retrieval system) . Further, as new user requirements are unfolded, modifications of IR systems based on conceptual data modeling will be much easier to make than they were in the current IR systems because conceptual modeling facilitates flexible modifications. The enhanced Entity-Relationship (ER) model was employed in this study to develop conceptual schemas of IR data.

  • This paper reports on a way of using cognitive conflict in order to bring about conceptual changes. Cognitive conflict occurs when there is a discrepancy in students mind between everyday events and the scientific concepts which are used to explain these events. In order to overcome this conflict auxiliary scientific hypotheses can be introduced, which makes the resolution easier. In this paper, we suggest a new model of conceptual change and a model of instruction named 'structured contrastive activity' which consists of three stages: contrastive discussion by introducing the auxiliary hypotheses for clarifying the cognitive conflicts of students, observing the phenomena in idealised contexts in order to increase the status of the scientific concepts, laboratory experiments which bridge the two contexts.

  • The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of the use of RNP curriculum based on Lesh translation model on third grade students' understandings of fraction concepts and problem solving ability. Students' conceptual understandings of fractions and problem solving ability were improved by the use of the curriculum. Various manipulative experiences and translation processes between and among representations facilitated students' conceptual understandings of fractions and contributed to the development of problem solving strategies. Expecially, in problem situations including fraction ordering which was not covered during the study, mental images of fractions constructed by the experiences with manipulatives played a central role as a problem solving strategy.

  • A truss-braced wing (TBW) aircraft has recently received increasing attention due to higher aerodynamic efficiency compared to conventional cantilever wing aircraft. For conceptual TBW aircraft design, we developed a propulsion-and-airframe integrated design environment by replacing a semi-empirical turbofan engine model with a thermodynamic cycle-based one built upon the numerical propulsion system simulation (NPSS). The constructed NPSS model benefitted TBW aircraft design study, as it could handle engine installation effects influencing engine fuel efficiency. The NPSS model also contributed to broadening TBW aircraft design space, for it provided turbofan engine design variables involving a technology factor reflecting progress in propulsion technology. To effectively consolidate the NPSS propulsion model with the TBW airframe model, we devised a rapid, approximate substitute of the NPSS model by reduced-order modeling (ROM) to resolve difficulties in model integration. In addition, we formed an artificial neural network (ANN) that associates engine component attributes evaluated by object-oriented weight analysis of turbine engine (WATE++) with engine design variables to determine engine weight and size, both of which bring together the propulsion and airframe system models. Through propulsion-andairframe design space exploration, we optimized TBW aircraft design for fuel saving and revealed that a simple engine model neglecting engine installation effects may overestimate TBW aircraft performance.

  • The objective of this study is to examine the cognitive process that undergoes a middle student’s conceptual change about the universe by the cognitive conflict, using science history materials as a teaching strategy. Four eighth graders were selected and classified by three cognitive level. Students were interviewed and conducted to an inquiry activities regarding their viewpoint about the universe after each class, and their conceptual change patterns were analysed from pre-test and post-test. This study showed that each student held dissimilar astronomical preconceptions and various misconceptions about celestial motion. Students at the formal operational stage and transitional stage experienced the conceptual change from geocentricism to heliocentricism by instructional model upon the science history materials. Student at the concrete operational stage had either unscientific conception, no conception, or could not have a conceptual change even when being presented with an environment that arouses cognitive conflict ($R^2$: Phase change of Venus and its Rise and set time). They ended up having a cognitive change from geocentricism to heliocentricism by solving another problem ($R^2$: Relation between visible diameter and position of Mars). After the instruction, a conceptual achievement progress was reported with a $10\%$ improvement. Therefore, the instruction model based upon science history was effective on student’s scientific conceptual change.
