The present low speed crash regulations and RCAR test for insurance estimate do not tend to reflect car crash occurred on a road. Therefore, car makers are trying to readjust test standard be similar to a real situation. Passenger cars and SUV vehicles on the market will be subject to this study for car to car crash. In addition, we will discuss improvement of test methods for a low speed crash and direction of bumper design by performing this impact analysis.

정격속도 100,000RPM용 원심분리기(centrifuge) 로터베어링계에 대해 회전체동역학 해석이 수행된다. 시스템은 원심분리기 로터, 유연축, 모터 로터와 축, 그리고 모터축 지지용 두 개의 구름베어링으로 구성된다. 설계목표는 정격속도가 위험속도(critical speed)에 대해 충분한 분리여유를 갖고, 위험속도에서 로터의 양호한 불균형응답특성을 이루어 내는 것이다. 후자의 요구조건은, 시스템이 다수의 위험속도를 통과하며 정격속도 주위에서 충분한 분리 여유를 갖지 않을 수도 있기 때문에 특히 중요하다. 시스템에 초유연축(extra-flexible shaft)을 도입함으로써, 비록 1차 위험속도에서 만족스럽지 못한 큰 불균형응답을 가질지라도 고차 위험속도에서 만족스런 작은 불균형응답을 보인다. 1차 위험속도에서 로터의 큰 변위를 억제하기 위해서 범퍼링(bumper ring) 또는 안내베어링(guide bearing)을 유연축의 적절한 위치에 설치할 필요가 있다. 비록 유연축계라 할지라도 정격속도와 가까운 4차 이상의 고차 위험속도를 정확히 규명하기 위해서는 모터의 동역학을 전체시스템에 결합하여야 함을 볼 수 있다. 해석은 유한요소법(finite element method)에 의해 수행된다.

Purpose: Recently, Issues on security for vehicles are getting increased all around the world. Especially, hood panel needs to be thinner for the protection of pedestrians. But thinner panel makes durability get worse. So, it is needed to satisfy both of them. Methods: Durability effectiveness will be studied because properties and assembly allowance of over-slam bumper mostly affects durability of hood panel. Overlap of over-slam bumper can be made in production line and it can affect durability of spot welding in hood inner panel. Daguchi method is used to catch the condition in which load gets smaller and location, hardness and quantity of overlap are selected to be factors. Durability effectiveness is analyzed with the factors. Result: the mechanism that affects on spot welding is identified. The test was conducted in both open/close and driving condition and the relation between both conditions is analyzed. Conclusion: The test contributed to durability of hood panel with optimization of over-slam bumper.

최근에 국내외 유명 자동차 업체들은 대부분 자동주차시스템으로 SPAS(self parking assistance system)기능을 도입하고 있다. 실제로, 폭스바겐의 주차보조시스템 '파크 어시스트'는 후진 일렬주차시에 핸들의 조작 없이 주차가 가능한 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 ATMega를 활용한 모형 RC카 자동차를 활용하여 자동주차 시스템을 구현한다. 모형차량 측면에는 카메라 센서를 부착하고, 범퍼의 모서리 부분마다는 적외선 센서를 부착한다. 주차가 되어 있지 않은 공간을 찾아내는 단계는 Atmega에서 영상처리 기법을 활용하고, 빈 주차공간을 찾은 이후에는 각종 센서와 모터 컨트롤 기법을 활용하여 자동주차시스템을 구현할 예정이다.

In this paper, we propose a method of near-field analysis for vehicle LF antennas in order to estimate the accurate reading range of a smart key. The LF antenna consists of a ferrite core and a conducting wire which is coated with polyethylene for insulation, and it is mounted at the rear bumper frame of a commercial vehicle. The reading range of a smart key is measured at nine azimuthal directions distributed around the rear bumper, and then, the received power at each maximum reading range is measured by using a spectrum analyzer. The measurement shows that the maximum reading range exists between 1.38 m and 1.53 m, and the radiated power is between -83.6 dBmW and -75.0 dBmW. We further conducted EM simulation to estimate the reading range and the received power under the same condition that we applied for the measurement. The results demonstrate that an accurate reading range and received power can be achieved by simulation.

The effectiveness of vehicle parts made through extrusion is in the limelight because of the advantages of high strength stiffness materials can be produced and the number of processes can be drastically reduced. Therefore, the parts should have sufficient stiffness and be lightweight enough to improve fuel efficiency. However, the application of extruded aluminum requires pre-bending technologies that can manufacture the complex designs profiles demanded by vehicle parts. The aim of this research is that the development of the variable curvature extrusion technology that can produce a variety of curvature. In order to produce a variable curvature, the guide transfer speed and transfer time should be controlled properly. The guide transfer speed and transfer time were examined by the theoretical analysis. A model was developed to simulate the deformation behaviors of extrusion and bending process from the symmetric bumper with range of radii from 1863mm to 2163mm. The theoretical analysis and FE analysis were verified through experimental method.

A parametric study on the shapes of bobsleigh bumpers has been performed to reduce the aerodynamic drag. Effects of geometric parameters, such as leading angle of leading bumper, the ratio of minimum width to maximum width of leading bumper, the ratio of leading bumper length to trailing bumper length, trailing angle of trailing bumper, and the ratio of bumper height to installation location of bumper from the bottom of bobsleigh, on the aerodynamic performance of the bobsleigh were estimated using 3-D Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The turbulence was analyzed using the shear stress turbulence model. Reynolds number based on the hydraulic diameter of the external flow channel was in the range of 150,000~1,000,000. Numerical results for drag coefficient were validated compared to experimental data. Ranges of the five geometric parameters were determined according to the rule of Federation Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobaganning. The aerodynamic performance of the bobsleigh sled was most sensitive to the leading angle of leading bumper and the ratio of minimum width to maximum width of leading bumper.

In this study, to prevent the nonhomogeneity of fiber orientation during the molding of GFRP composites, GFRP prepreg was fabricated using roving fiber and polypropylene resin. Analyses on the degree of impregnation, tensile strength, and microstructure were conducted on the fabricated prepregs. A lower pulling speed, higher resin temperature, and longer die length showed a greater degree of impregnation of the prepreg. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrograph showed, a homogeneous fiber orientation. As a result, fundamental techniques for improved productivity were suggested for the manufacturing field.

본 연구는 트랙터 주행노면의 토양 특성이 트랙터 승차진동에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 여러 토양조건에서 실제 트랙터 주행실험을 진행하는 것은 어렵기 때문에, 상용 CAE 프로그램을 이용하여 트랙터를 모델링하고 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. 이를 통해 여러 토양조건에 따른 승차진동의 특성을 비교, 분석하였다. 모델의 유의성은 트랙터 아스팔트 주행실험을 통해 진동데이터를 획득하고 실측 진동 데이터와 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻어진 진동 데이터를 분석해 검토하였다. 이 때, 노면 토양의 특성에 따라서 트랙터가 장애물을 만났을 때 순간적인 진동 특성을 분석하기 위해서 트랙터 주행 노면을 사인범퍼(sine-bumper) 노면으로 설정하고 주행실험 및 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 강체 노면, Heavy clay, North Gower Clay Loam 토양, Grenvile Loam 토양의 네 가지 노면 조건을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 침하가 발생하지 않는 강체 노면보다 침하가 발생하는 세 가지 토양 조건에서 장애물에 따른 순간적인 진동이 더 크게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 다만 승차진동이 토양 파라미터와 단순히 선형적인 관계만을 보이는 것은 아니라는 것도 확인할 수 있었다. 이 후, North Gower Clay Loam 토양 조건에서 트랙터 속도에 따른 시뮬레이션 진행 결과를 분석하였을 때, 토양 침하가 발생하는 토양 조건에서도 속도가 증가함에 따라서 진동 크기가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study investigates the strength durability of an automotive front bumper subjected to vibrations during driving. Through structural analyses,the maximum equivalent stresses of models 1 and 2 were found to be 187.09 and 278.4 MPa, respectively. The maximum deformations of models 1 and 2 were 1.3772 and 2.675 mm, respectively. As model 1 shows less deformation than model 2, itis stronger than model 2. Models 1and 2 show natural frequencies within 230 Hz as the range of the maximum harmonic response frequency. Models 1 and 2 have maximum amplitude displacements of 0.105 and 0.154 mm at critical frequencies of 159 and 110 Hz, respectively. As model 1 has a higher critical frequency than model 2, it has more strength durability than model 2. This study result can be effectively utilized for the design of a front bumper by investigating prevention against damage and its strength durability.
