본 논문은 겹판 스프링의 정적 스프링 상수를 가지고 복합재료 데이퍼 스프링을 최적설계 하였다. 두께와 폭을 설계변수로 실정하였다. 회귀모형의 목적함수는 상용 해석 프로그램을 통해 얻었다. 회귀모형의 함수를 가지고 회귀계수를 계산한 후, DOT를 이용하여 최적해를 구하였다. 설계에 이용된 복합재료로는 E-glass/epoxy와 carbon/epoxy를 선정하였고 겹판 스프링과 비교 해석하였다. 그 결과 정적 스프링 상수는 최적화된 복합재료 스프링들과 겹판 스프링이 1％내로 일치함을 보였다.

Many kind of springs are used in the suspension of automotive vehicles and among these the leaf spring and the air spring are included. These two springs have not been generally used together in one suspension, but recently the automotive models which use these two springs together increase. This reason is due to the merit of the combination of two type springs. The merits are two. One is the character of air spring, that is, the natural frequen- cy of system is constant in spite of variable weight. The other is the character of leaf spring, that is, the suspension mechanism is simple. The combination spring is used in medium size and special purpose bus. In this paper, we formulate the condition which the leaf spring must satisfy to be optimal design in the combination spring. And experiment is performed to prove the theory. The results are that the combination spring is better than leaf spring in the ride, and that the purposed theory is good for the combination spring design.

우리나라의 자동차공업이 시작된 1960년 후반부터 불과 20여년간에 스프링도 최신기술이 요구되는 선진국수준까지 변천해 가고 있다. 즉 시대적으로 요구되는 자원절약, 경쟁력강화(신뢰성향상, 경량화, 승차감 등)에 대응하기 위하여 스프링도 끊임없는 연구가 계속되고 있는데, 현재까지 변해 온 최근의 겹판 스프링 및 코일 스프링에 대하여 여기에 소개한다.

Springs for vehicle suspension control the vibration of a car and influence on the ridability, safety, and life of a car. In the paper, the computer aided design program has been developed, which design the leaf spring shape from the given specifications using basic theory and the expert's knowledge, and the design results are checked by the analysis theory in order to increase the accuracy, and feed back to the design input. For the purpose of easy use, this program consists of pull-down menu and interactive input mode. To prove the effectiveness of this program. two springs, of which one is symmetric, other asymmetric, are designed and analyzed, and the outputs are compared to the experiments. Considering the tolerance of the given specifications, the results are good.

In this study, the deformation and stress are analyzed through modal and harmonic response analysis at resonance on leaf spring. The displacement range of 7 to 14 mm is shown at natural frequencies as 6 kinds of resonance modes. The maximum deformation is shown as 8.8781mm at Mode 2. The maximum displacement and stress at leaf spring are shown as 0.0458 mm and 72.533 MPa respectively on 1200 Hz. The comfortability of passenger becomes better on leaf spring at suspension system by use of this design model.

For the effective finite element analysis of the structures including material interfaces or contact surfaces, interface elements are proposed. Most of early works in this problem require not only iterative computation but also complex formulation because of the kinematic nonlinearities caused from the discontinuous behavior and the stress concentration phenomena. The proposed elements, however, are consistently formulated using relative displacements and tractions between top and bottom regular finite elements. The effectiveness of these elements are shown by solving various numerical sample problems including an leaf spring and comparing with results of general finite element analysis. As a result, more stable solutions are conveniently obtaines using interface elements than regular finite elements.

Particularly derailing freight wagon, which are loaded with dangerous chemicals, has large damages on humans and environment. In this paper the dynamic characteristic of the laminated leaf spring under extreme situation, for example derailment, is examined. The leaf spring has a static hysteresis. Not only the friction value, but also the spring rate are influenced by this hysteresis characteristic. Because of the static hysteresis of the leaf spring the spring rate must be used in normal operation depending upon the loading and the kind of the excitation with the up to 10-fold value of the static spring rate. Some characteristics of the leaf spring can be treated like well-known viscous damping, but fer special situation (preload and/or excitation) particular calculation are necessary.

The leaf spring is used in the suspension of most buses and trucks due to its compactness, which reduces the shock-force and the vibration from the road, and increases passenger comfortability and carlife. Of the various kinds of leaf springs, the leaf spring without eyes can be found easily in the heavy duty truck, and has different characteristics to the leaf spring with eyes in the case of large free camber. Because of radius change, the leaf without eyes slips on the supports, which makes the deflection. The difference is due to this deflection. In this paper, we show the general method of characteristic analysis, for example, Pandan method, can be no more applicable to these springs. Thus considering the geometry deflection by slip, we have developed the equation of the characteristic of the leaf spring without eyes and prove the effectiveness of this equation by experiment. From the result, at large camber the slip deflection is large and as camber smaller, this is smaller. At the camber behind some value, the effect of slip no longer influence to the characteristic of leaf springs.

In recent years, the demand for an onboard scale system which can directly monitor load distribution and overload of vehicles has increased. Depending on the suspension type of the vehicle, the onboard scale system could use different types of sensors, such as, angle sensors, pressure sensors, load cells, etc. In the case of a vehicle equipped with leaf spring suspension system, the load of the vehicle is measured by using the deflection or displacement of the leaf spring. Leaf springs have hysteresis characteristics that vary in displacement depending on the load state. These characteristics cause load measurement errors when moving or removing cargoes. Therefore, this study aimed at developing an onboard scale device for cargo vehicles equipped with leaf springs. A sectional modeling method which can reduce measurement errors caused by hysteresis characteristics was also proposed.

본 연구에서는 대형트럭의 판스프링의 개수에 대한 구조 해석을 수행하였다. 변형량은 4가지 모델들이 공히 작게 나왔다. Model A의 응력이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났고 Model D의 응력이 가장 작은 것으로 나타났다. Model A의 최대 응력이 Model D에 비하여 약 1.87배로 크게 나왔고 Model B에 비하여 약 1.52배 정도로 크게 나타났다. Model C와 Model D의 최대응력은 적게 나왔다. Model D가 Model C에 비하여 겹판 스프링을 한 개 더 보강한 효과로 보면 그 강도의 향상의 효과는 작게 나타났다. 따라서 겹판 스프링 3개인 Model C가 설계상 효율적이고 강도면에서도 좋다고 사료된다. 본 연구 결과를 대형트럭에서의 판스프링에 적용함으로서 판스프링의 구조 강도를 평가할 수 있고 그리고 그 결과가 대형트럭에서의 내구성이 있는 판스프링의 설계와 미적인 융합이 될 수 있다고 보인다.
