This study was conducted in order to estimate the exhaust emissions analysis method of the real driving emission(RDE). The Association for Emissions Control by Catalyst(AECC) has developed a test procedure by using a random cycle method based on the chassis dynamometer. In order to confirm this approach in Korea, Euro 5(DPF), Euro 6(DPF + LNT), and Euro 6(DPF + SCR) were performed on three different vehicles to determine the exhaust gas characteristics of the random cycle, real-road driving test(PEMS), and emission certification driving mode(NEDC). Six different random cycle driving modes were generated by the vehicle specifications(e.g. curb weight, engine power, gear ratio, and maximum acceleration). The NOx emissions were increased in the NEDC, random cycle, and PEMS order in this study regardless of the test vehicles. The random cycle method has the advantage because it utilizes a chassis dynamometer in the laboratories for a repeatable data collection, and it allows any eminent emission improvement checked prior to a real-road driving test with PEMS.

In this paper, parametric structural analysis is presented utilizing the co-rotational(CR) shell analysis utilizing EDISON. CR shell analysis shows faster convergence than the commercial software, NASTRAN, does. The 1st natural frequency of the rear frame is obtained, which is close to that of the engine during high speed cruise. Three cases under two design variables are presented and analyzed. Gusset is shown to be more effective among those which feature the same weight change. The results presented in this paper will be applicable for further researches to improve the durability of a motorcycle rear frame.
