Abstract

Problems that satisfy various constraints while maintaining weight balance in ships or aircraft were studied. In addition, a study was conducted to solve the problem with a mathematical method under the condition that the shape and weight of the load are the same and the m×n (m and n are all odd) mesh structures. The problem is that the existing mathematical weight balancing method is not suitable for circular structures. In this paper, we studied the load stowing problem in a circular space where objects are loaded at the vertices of N equilateral polygons. Assuming that all N conformal polygons have an even number of angles, it was proved that a loading method that always maintains weight balance regardless of the variety of number of loads. By providing the structure and loading method of the drone loading ship, we showed that our method was appropriate.

선박이나 항공기에서 무게균형을 유지하면서 다양한 제한조건을 만족하는 문제들이 연구되었다. 또한, 부하의 모양과 무게가 동일한 조건과 m×n(m, n은 모두 홀수) 메시 구조에서 수학적 방법으로 문제를 해결하는 연구도 진행되었다. 문제는 기존의 수학적 무게균형 방식이 원형구조물에 부적합하다는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 N개의 등각다각형의 꼭짓점에 물체를 적재하는 원형 공간에서 부하 적재 문제를 연구하였다. N개의 등각다각형이 모두 짝수개의 각을 가진다고 가정할 때 부하의 수에 관계없이 항상 무게균형을 유지하는 적재 방식을 찾을 수 있음을 증명하였다. 드론 적재함의 구조 및 적재 방식을 제공하여 우리의 방식이 적절함을 보였다.
