The study on the efficiency improvement of qualification procedures for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites analyzed the differences between the European ECSS and the American NASA standards. ECSS allows flexible test tailoring to accommodate project-specific requirements, whereas NASA enforces strict standardized procedures to ensure high reliability. Additionally, ECSS prioritizes cost efficiency, while NASA emphasizes reliability. In terms of application scope, NASA focuses on private-sector collaborations, whereas ECSS is centered on cooperative projects within Europe. Based on this comparative analysis, this study proposes a qualification framework for Korean LEO satellites, categorizing 18 qualification test items into mandatory and optional groups. This approach is expected to enhance the reliability, performance, and stability of satellite systems. Therefore, the proposed Korean qualification test sequence should be implemented and incorporated into national defense standards. This will strengthen the systematic structure of the qualification process while maximizing efficiency in terms of testing time and cost.
Military tanks and armored vehicles use tracks with excellent mobility in rough terrain, the transmission, a key component of tracked vehicle driving performance, performs shifting, steering and braking functions of tracked vehicles. There was concern about the deterioration of the driving performance of the tracked vehicle due to the occurrence of oil leakage in the output part of the transmission that rotates the track of the vehicle. Throughㅇ failure mechanism analysis and characteristic factor analysis using 4M(Man, Machine, Material, Method) quality management, it was confirmed that the factor affecting oil leakage in the output part was damage to the output shaft coupling surface, which is the contact surface of the output part oil seal. Based on this, a quality improvement plan was derived by applying a protective cap to prevent damage to the coupling surface, increasing the coupling surface hardness to improve the oil seal sealing function, and revising the work standard throughout production, process movement and assembly stages. The effectiveness of the proposed improvement was verified through a single transmission test, a power pack test, and a track vehicle installation test, and the effectiveness was verified through follow-up observation. It is expected that the improvements derived from this study will be utilized in the future analysis of similar equipment quality problems.
This study presents a systematic causal analysis of the fuel consumption rate reduction phenomenon observed in mortar-carrier tracked vehicles during driving tests. The investigation focused on identifying the root causes and developing effective improvement measures. Through comprehensive inspections and tests of the chassis and power pack components, along with data analysis, the study identified the damage of the engine flywheel housing gasket and the clogging of the transmission exhaust pump strainer as the main causes of the reduced fuel consumption rate. The causal relationship between the two phenomena was empirically proven using material composition analysis and statistical techniques, enhancing the reliability and validity of the diagnosis. Based on the root cause analysis results, improvements were implemented, including the replacement of the engine gasket and the cleaning of the transmission exhaust pump strainer. The effectiveness of the improvements was quantitatively verified, confirming a significant enhancement in fuel consumption rate and cruising range. By employing a systematic and scientific analysis methodology, this study provides a foundation for improving the reliability and maintenance efficiency of similar weapon systems and power transmission systems in general.
In this study, a finite element analysis was used to analyze the stress state and vibration characteristics generated by continuous contact between wheels and rails when driving urban railway vehicles. The rails applied to the analysis were divided into straight and curved shapes, and three-dimensional modeling was performed to analyze the changes in structural characteristics of wheels and rails when driving on straight and curved rails. As a result of the analysis, the stress characteristics were up to 6.5 MPa on a straight rail and 9.81 MPa on a curved rail, and it is believed that this increase in stress will increase noise due to an increase in friction at the interface. The vibration characteristics of the wheels and rails showed similar behavior from the 3rd mode to the 9th mode of the rail to the intrinsic vibration characteristics from the 4th mode to the 6th mode of the wheel.

본 연구의 목적은 중학교 영재 학생들이 수행한 증거 기반 추론의 특징을 조사하는 것이었다. 연구를 위한 자료는 수도권에 위치한 한 대학교의 영재 교육원에서 중학교 영재 학생들이 비대면 방식으로 진행한 탐구 과제를 통해 수집되었다. 학생들에게 수성의 최대 이각을 관측한 자료를 제공하고 이 자료를 이용하여 수성의 공전 궤도를 작도하게 하였다. 또, 작도 전에 수성의 궤도에 대한 자신의 가설을 진술하게 하였으며 작도 결과를 증거로 삼아 수성 궤도의 모양을 추론하게 하였다. 학생들이 제출한 보고서의 내용을 분석하여 수성의 공전 궤도 모양에 관한 판단 유형을 5가지로 분류하고 가설 및 증거에 관한 추론 유형을 4가지로 분류한 후, 판단 유형에 따른 증거 기반 추론의 특징을 정리하였다. 분석 결과를 토대로, 증거 기반 추론에서는 증거에 대한 적절한 해석이 중요하고, 이론과 증거의 조화가 핵심적인 역할을 하며, 복수의 가설을 상정하는 것이 유리할 수 있음을 논의하였고, 지구과학 교육을 위한 시사점을 제안하였다.
This study is to investigate the cause of the malfunction of the ground tracked combat vehicle rotating roller and set future direction of improvement. The integrity of the initially used plate and rotating roller was evaluated. As evaluation methods, mechanical property test, radiographic test and size checking test were performed. PA66, PA12, PET, and POM were selected among polymer materials and tested for water absorption rates. Through mechanical property test and radiographic test, the materials used initially were identified to be sound. In the evaluation of the selected four polymer materials, it was confirmed that the PET was excellent in the mechanical properties and the water absorption rate. PET is excellent in mechanical properties and water absorption.
Unlike wheeled vehicles, tracked armored vehicles require a highly developed transmission technology since the transmission has to not only shift gears but also steer and brake the heavy ground weapon system precisely. Even though weapons systems including the K00 Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) have recently been developed with domestic technology, it is true that many core parts in the systems are still being imported. In this paper localization process of the accumulator which is one of the most important hydraulic parts in the K00 transmission is introduced. In order to determine design variables such as operating pressure we analyzed torque characteristics of the transmission and calculated spring constant by disassembling the original accumulator. And tests such as durability, safety, etc. were conducted to assure the validation of the development. We expect that the process of reverse engineering we adopted will be helpful to localize similar hydraulic parts.
This paper proposes a method to reduce the pose error and to solve the dead reckoning issue which occurs when the mobile robot with continuous-tracks travels in the unstructured environments. When the continuous-track type mobile platform travels on terrain such as sand, gravel, stairs and etc., slippage occurs and thus the driving state of the mobile robot cannot be recognized normally. To compensate for this pose error, the proposed method utilizes optical flow estimation detected by camera. This method is tested through experiment. Finally, This method reduces the pose error detected on inertia measurement unit within some limit, while the pose error of without compensation increases without limit during robot move.
