Advancements in technology for large aircraft have led to the development of new materials for aviation. Traditional alloy-based components in aircraft, once prevalent, are now being replaced by composite materials that offer superior performance in terms of strength and operational limits. Notably, propellers have evolved from wood to composite materials, finding application in contemporary small aircraft. In this context, there is a need for research on the composite propellers of the 3-blade "W Company," based on the widely used Rotax 914 engine in South Korea. This study aims to investigate the changes in noise and thrust corresponding to variations in propeller blade angles and engine RPM, with the goal of selecting the optimal propeller pitch angle. Particularly, the "W Company's" propellers are durable and cost-effective, widely adopted in domestic aircraft. The research seeks to propose an effective method to minimize noise while maintaining the necessary thrust, contributing to the smooth operation of aircraft and promoting coexistence with local communities.

Aircraft noise is something humans don't want. In this study, based on the Rotax 914 engine used in Korea, the propeller blade angle was changed by 1 degree and the engine RPM was changed to review the three-wing “G Company” propeller and the three-wing GSC wooden propeller. Select the best propeller pitch angle by measuring the change in propeller noise and thrust and the change in engine RPM due to the change in noise and thrust. We would like to present a propeller pitch angle suitable for the location of the airfield and the operation of the aircraft. Based on this, we would like to help resolve noise complaints around the airfiled.

Most domestic pilots are trained at local airfields using propeller aircraft. Training aircraft are mainly trained in the airspace around the aerodrome, and mainly take-off and landing exercises that require a lot of practice among flight control skills. Aircraft noise is a sound that humans do not want. In this study, based on the Rotax 914 engine used in Korea, the propeller blade angle was changed by 1 degree for the 3-leaf “K company” propeller and the 3-leaf GSC wooden propeller, and the engine RPM was changed to examine the noise and thrust changes. The purpose of this study is to check whether noise and thrust loss are the least at the engine's maximum RPM, and to propose an aircraft operation plan in the noisy aerodrome area based on the values.

프로펠러축은 프로펠러 하중 및 편심추력의 영향으로 인해 정적, 동적, 과도상태 각각 거동의 패턴이 달라져 선미관 후부베어 링의 국부하중 변화를 일으킴으로써 선박 축계의 안정성에 큰 영향을 미치며, 결과적으로 축 지지 베어링의 손상위험을 증가시킨다. 이를 방지하기 위한 일련의 축계정렬연구는 선급강선규칙과 조선소 지침을 기반으로 준정적 상태에서 축과 선미관 베어링간의 상대적 경사각 과 유막유지, 선체변형에 따른 영향평가를 최적화 하는데 중점을 두어 진행 되어왔다. 그러나 보다 진일보한 형태의 추진축계의 안정성을 보장하기 위해서는 조타장치의 전타시 발생하는 급격한 선미유동장 변화와 같은 과도동적상태변화 조건에서의 상세 연구가 필요하다. 이 러한 관점 하에 본 연구에서는 50,000 DWT 중형 유조선을 대상으로 스트레인 게이지법과 변위센서을 이용하여 선박운전 중 대표적 과도 상태인 좌현 전타시의 프로펠러 축 거동이 선미관 베어링에 미치는 영향을 교차검증한 결과, 프로펠러 편심추력변동이 선미관 베어링의 하중을 일시적으로 저감시켜 베어링 하중을 완화시키는 것을 확인하였다.

Phaya-Thon-Zu temple has a unique architectural style connected by the three temples, and cultural values are highly as murals remain on some of the walls. However, various damages in internal walls and vaults have occurred due to earthquake and environmental influences. In order to analyze these damages, accurate structural analysis is required, but structural modeling is difficult, because Phaya-Thon-Zu temple is the complex masonry structure which is stacked with small bricks. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the causes of damages by examining collapse mechanism for cross section and longitudinal section of vaults in the entrance hall and shrine by using thrust line analysis, which is a geometric method, and to compare it with the actual damage situation.

선박 축계는 프로펠러 하중의 영향으로 선미관 후부베어링의 국부하중 증가가 현저히 나타나 축계 선미관 베어링 손상의 위험이 증대된다. 이를 방지하기 위해 수행된 추진축계 정렬연구는 주로 준정적 상태(quasi-static condition)에서 축과 지지베어링간의 상대적 경 사각을 감소시키는데 중점을 두어 진행되어 왔다. 그러나 보다 상세한 평가를 위해서는 동적상태를 추가로 고려하는 것이 필요하다. 4,70 0 DWT 선박을 대상으로 NCR로 운전중 급속으로 우현 전타할 때 추진축계가 받는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 연구결과 선미 유동장 변화 에 의해 프로펠러 편심추력이 과도 상태가 되어 프로펠러에 불평형 진동이 유발되는 것을 확인하였다. 우현 전타시의 프로펠러 편심추력은 NCR 조건대비 축을 선미관 베어링으로부터 들어 올리는 힘으로 작용하여 선미관 베어링 하중완화에 기여하고 있음을 확인하였다.

The axial thrust acting on the turbocharger rotor is basically generated by the unbalance between turbine wheel gas forces and compressor wheel air forces. It has a significant influence on the friction losses, which reduces the overall efficiency and performance of high-speed turbocharger. Therefore, it’s important to calculate the thrust forces under operating conditions (surge, choke and etc.) in a turbocharger. The purpose of this paper is the development of numerical simulation methods which were verified by experimental results of axial thrust and thermally induced constraint tests of the turbocharger. The first FE model showed the relationship between thrust forces and strains by calculating the strains on specially designed thrust bearing and were compared with test results. And the second one is to identify the thermally induced strains in order to remove the thermal effects from measured strains. With these models, it’s possible to inversely predict the magnitudes of the axial thrust by directly measured strains and temperatures under operating turbocharger.

In this paper, the main objective is to determine the mechanical responses due to the axial forces on thrust bearing for an automotive turbocharger. The rotating shaft in a turbocharger is supported by the bearings, usually oil-lubricated radial journal bearings and a thrust bearing. The axial forces acting on the thrust bearing have significant influences on the mechanical friction losses, which reduces the efficiency and performance of high-speed turbocharger. There are simple well-known formulas such as Petroff’s equation for calculating the mechanical frictional losses in these types of bearings. However, it's difficult to estimate the accurate axial forces from this formula. Thus, this work determined the relationship between thrust forces and strains by measuring and calculating the strains on thrust bearing and compared both results. The result shown that behaviors of axial strain are changed linear and non-linear depend on the boundary condition. Therefore, it’s possible to predict the magnitudes of the axial forces by measuring the strains under operating turbocharger.

좁은 틈새를 가진 원판밸브의 추력에 대한 이론적 해석 및 실험 결과로부터 다음과 같이 요약할 수 있다. 1. 원판 밸브의 틈새가 비교적 작은 경우(H/D sub(1)가 0.1 이하) 즉, 유량이 적을 때에는 점성류가 지배적이고 이론식으로부터 추력을 높게 예측할 수 있었다. 2. 압력의 영향에 대한 추력은 입구 압력이 낮을수록 이론결과와 실험결과가 잘 일치하고 높을수록 관성의 영향이 크게 나타나는 경향을 보였다. 3. 밸브 크기 변화에 대한 추력의 영향은 D sub(2)/D sub(1)=>4.6에서는 포물선적으로 감소하고 그 이하에서는 직선적으로 감소하였다.

A simplified linearized dynamic equation for the propulsion force generation of an Ostraciiform fish robot with elastically jointed double caudal fins is derived in this paper. The caudal fin is divided into two segments and connected using an elastic joint. The second part of the caudal fin is actuated passively via the elastic joint connection by the actuation of the first part of it. It is demonstrated that the derived equation can be utilized for the design of effective caudal fins because the equation is given as an explicit form with several physical parameters. A simple Ostraciiform fish robot was designed and fabricated using a microprocessor, a servo motor, and acrylic plastics. Through the experiment with the fish robot, it is demonstrated that the propulsion force generated in the experiment matches well with the proposed equation, and the propulsion speed can be greatly improved using the elastically jointed double fins, improving the average speed more than 80%. Through numerical simulation and frequency domain analysis of the derived dynamic equations, it is concluded that the main reason of the performance improvement is resonance between two parts of the caudal fins.
