Abstract

The UAV's wing has high aspect ratio that is suitable for the high altitude and long endurance. Knowing the real-time deformation of wing structure in flight, it can be utilized in structural health and loading status monitoring, improvement of control effectiveness and extraordinary vibration phenomena using displacement-strain relationship. In this paper, nonlinear displacement prediction algorithm was developed for prediction of large structural deflection in flight. The algorithm was validated through the comparison with finite element analysis results and also experimental results for several large tip displacements of cantilever beam. The predicted displacements using strains are agreed well with the measured values from laser displacement sensor.

무인기의 날개는 고고도 장기체류에 적합하도록 가로세로비가 크며, 비행 중 구조 대변형이 발생한다. 비행 중 날개 구조의 실시간 변형 상태 파악을 위해 변위-변형률 관계를 이용하여 비행체의 구조 건전성 및 관련 하중 상태 평가, 이상 진동 현상 발견 및 조종성 향상과 같은 영역에서 활용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 비행 중 변형이 발생하는 날개 구조물을 외팔보로 가정하여 구조 대변형을 보다 간편하게 예측하기 위한 변형률 기반의 비선형성을 고려한 변위 예측 알고리즘을 작성하였다. 변위 예측식은 외팔보의 다양한 끝단 변위 조건에서 이루어진 구조 실험과 유한요소 해석 결과의 비교를 통하여 검증하였다. 변형률은 스트레인 게이지로부터 취득한 값을 사용하였으며, 변형률을 이용하여 예측된 변위는 레이저 변위 센서로 측정한 변위와 잘 일치하였다.
