Aerodynamic Shape Optimization using Discrete Adjoint Formulation based on Overset Mesh Technique

A new design approach of complex geometries such as wing/body configuration is arranged by using overset mesh techniques under large scale computing environment. For an in-depth study of the flow physics and highly accurate design, several special overlapped structured blocks such as collar grid, tip-cap grid, and etc. which are commonly used in refined drag prediction are adopted to consider the applicability of the present design tools to practical problems. Various pre- and post-processing techniques for overset flow analysis and sensitivity analysis are devised or implemented to resolve overset mesh techniques into the design optimization problem based on Gradient Based Optimization Method (GBOM). In the pre-processing, the convergence characteristics of the flow solver and sensitivity analysis are improved by overlap optimization method. Moreover, a new post-processing method, Spline-Boundary Intersecting Grid (S-BIG) scheme, is proposed by considering the ratio of cell area for more refined prediction of aerodynamic coefficients and efficient evaluation of their sensitivities under parallel computing environment. With respect to the sensitivity analysis, discrete adjoint formulations for overset boundary conditions are derived by a full hand-differentiation. A smooth geometric modification on the overlapped surface boundaries and evaluation of grid sensitivities can be performed by mapping from planform coordinate to the surface meshes with Hicks-Henne function. Careful design works for the drag minimization problems of a transonic wing and a wing/body configuration are performed by using the newly-developed and -applied overset mesh techniques. The results from design applications demonstrate the capability of the present design approach successfully.

Effects of geometric and material nonlinearity on the stresses of various pressure vessel dome shapes

Abstract Pressure vessels are usually designed and analyzed by the linear elastic theory assuming small deformations. If the internal pressure is large enough to cause the vessel stress to exceed the yield stress or to cause large deformation, the stress from the material and/or geometric nonlinear analyses may be different from that of the linear analysis. In this paper, the effects of the material and geometric nonlinearity on the stress of various dome shapes were analyzed to find the best analysis methods for each dome shape. The geometric nonlinear effects were large for very thin general torispherical domes, and the material nonlinear effects were large thick hemispherical and optimum torispherical domes, and most of the general torispherical domes.

Data Structure for the Design Program of Solid Rocket Motors

In this paper, we proposed a data structure to represent structural components of solid rocket motors (SRM) in an automated design program. To propose the data structure, we searched the necessary functions for the automated design program should have. In order to design the structural components of solid rocket motors sufficiently with a design program, it should have the functions to represent the shapes of the components, the drawing and analysis models, the design variables, various product structures, interferences, characteristic properties, design equations, and tightening sets. By modifying the data structure of an element object that is a general purpose data structure to represent a general component of a product, a new data structure was proposed to satisfy all the necessary functions with optimum. Finally, a design program for the structural components of solid rocket motors was developed successfully with the proposed data structure.

The Design & Analysis of Pulse Separation Device with Thermal Barrier Type for Dual Pulse Rocket Motor

The dual pulse rocket motor(DPRM) distributes the propellant energy effectively via pulse separation device(PSD) to improve the range and terminal velocity of the missile. There are two types of PSD such as bulk head type and thermal barrier type. A subscale thermal barrier type DPRM was designed, manufactured, and tested. The results showed good understanding of the characteristics of the PSD and will be applied to the design of the full scale DPRM.

Rupture Prediction of the Rupture Disk Using Elasto-Plastic Analysis

․ Wonbok Lee* ․ Song-Hoe Koo** ․ Bang-Eop Lee**ABSTRACT Rupture disks are a kind of safety device in high pressure equipment and they are used to control rupture pressure in the solid rocket motor. In this paper, a series of rupture experiments was performed using rupture disks made of AISI 316L and rupture pre ssure of rupture disks was calculated through various assumptions in relation between elasto-plastic material properties and true stress-strain curve. Experiment and FEA indicated rupture pressure is determined by size of rupture disks. As a result of elasto-plastic analysis, only multi-linea r stress-strain curve was able to calculate meaningful estimations. Experimental results also showed rupture location are decided by the size of rupture disks. Experimental and FEA results will be applied to control rupture pressure of disks.초 록 파열판은 고압장치에서 안전장치로써 사용하고 있으며, 추진기관에서는 파열을 임의로 제어하기 위한 장치로써 사용한다. 본 논문은 파열판의 파열압력 시험결과와 유한요소해석 결과를 비교하기 위한 것이다. 본 논문에서는 AISI 316L을 이용하여 제작한 파열판의 파열시험을 수행하였으며, 탄소성 물성치와 진 응력-변형률 관계의 다양한 가정을 이용하여 파열판의 파열압력을 계산하였다. 파열시험과 탄소성해석 결과를 통하여 파열판의 크기에 대한 파열압력의 변화를 확인하였다. 시험과 유한요소해석을 통해 파열압력은 파열판의 크기에 의존하며, 탄소성해석을 수행한 결과 다중 선형 응력-변형률 선도만이 의미있는 예측치를 계산할 수 있었다. 파열시험을 통하여 파열판의 크기에 따라 파열위치가 다르다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 시험과 해석 결과는 파열판의 크기 변화를 통하여 파열판의 파열압력을 제어하기 위해 사용할 수 있다.Key Words: Rupture Disk(파열판), Elasto-plastic Analysis(탄소성해석), Pulse Separation Device(펄스분리장치), Dual Pulse Rocket Motor(이중 펄스 로켓 추진기관)1. 서 론 일반적으로 파열판은 고압장치에서 안전장치로써 사용하고 있으며, 추진기관에서는 파열을
