승용차 실내소음은 소음의 전달 방법에 따라 구조기인소음(structure-borne noise)과 공기기인소음(air-borne noise)으로 구별된다. 구조기인 소음은 차체에 전달된 외력이 차체를 통하여 전달되고 전달된 차체의 진통이 최종적으로 차실을 이루는 패널의 진동을 일으켜 승객에 전달되는 소음이며 공기기인소음은 발생한 소읍이 공기를 타고 전파되어 차실을 투과하여 승객의 귀에 전달되는 소음을 말한다. 구조기인소음을 일으키는 기진력으로 엔진의 관성 및 폭발력, 노면의 입력, 구동계 진동, 풍력 등이 있다. 발생된 기진력은 엔진 마운트, 서스펜션 등을 통하여 차체에 전달되고 최종적으로 대쉬, 루프 등의 패널을 떨게 만들며 이러한 진동은 50∼500Hz 대역에서 차실 공간의 음향 특성에 따라 가감되어 저주파 실내 소음을 발생시킨다. 500Hz 이상 대역의 실내소음은 일반적으로 공기기인 소음이 대부분을 차치하게 된다.(중략)

When car builder designs the large carbody structure of railway vehicles, it is necessary to optimize the damping characteristics through the analysis of structure borne noise such as sound pressure level(SPL). This paper is a study on the structure borne noise analysis by characterizing the damping of double skin aluminum extruded panels for rolling stock carbody. The normalized SPL was calculated based on the simple source theory using measured mechanical mobility parameters from vibration tests(i.e. point, transfer and modal mobility). The reduced SPL was predicted by using finite element method by applying loss factor of damping material into laminated shell elements. It was found out that the damping material coated on the panels like underframe, which part is seriously affected by vibration during train run, took effect to reduce noise level.

This paper presents a comparison of an experimental study on spot and plug welding of an automotive body panel. Spot welding is a common joining technology used in automotive body panel assembly. In automotive body repair, however, plug welding is widely used due to its technical simplicity and cost benefit. Some researchers have focused on the use of spot welding in the manufacturing process, but there has been very little research done with respect to the engineering analysis of the plug welding process. In this study, two kinds of specimens are considered to compare the difference of failure strength between spot weld and plug weld: normal tension and shear tension. The experimental results show, in both normal tension and shear tension, that spot welding has higher failure strength than plug welding. In addition, plug welding is more vulnerable to shear tension than normal tension. This study can be applied to further studies on practical optimization for maintenance and repair of automotive body panels.

In this study, the lightweight modular design of hybrid railway carbody structures made of sandwich composites and aluminum extrusions was investigated by using topology and size optimization techniques. The topology optimum design was used to select the best material for parts of the carbody structure at the initial design stage, and then, the size optimum design was used to find the optimal design parameters of hybrid carbody structures using first-order and sub-problem methods. Through the topology optimization analysis, it was found that aluminum extrusions were suitable for primary members such as the underframe and lower side panel module to improve the stiffness and manufacturability of the carbody structures, and sandwich composites were appropriate for secondary members such as the roof and middle side panel module to minimize its weight. Furthermore, the results obtained by size optimization analysis showed that the weight of hybrid carbody structures composed of aluminum extrusions and sandwich composites could be reduced by a maximum of approximately 17.7% in comparison with carbody structures made of only sandwich composites.

This paper describes the results of experiments and numerical simulation studies on the low-velocity impact damage of two different sandwich composite panels for application to bodyshell and floor structure of the BIMODAL tram vehicle. Square test samples of 100mm sides were subjected to low-velocity impact loading using an instrumented testing machine at four impact energy levels. Part of this work presented is focused on the finite element analysis of low-velocity impact response onto a sandwich composite panels. It is based on the application of explicit finite element (FE) analysis codes LS-DYNA 3D to study the impact response of sandwich structures under low-velocity impact conditions. Material testing was conducted to determine the input parameters for the metallic and composite material model, and the effective equivalent damage model for the orthotropic honeycomb materials. Numerical and experimental results showed a good agreement for damage area and the depth of indentation of sandwich composite panels created by the impact loading.

This paper describes the standardized finite element model for carbody structures of railway vehicle made of sandwich composites. Recently, sandwich composites were widely used to railway vehicle due to the improvement of energy efficiency, high specific stiffness and strength, weight reduction and space saving in korea. Therefore, structural integrity should be verified using finite element analysis prior to the manufacture of composite railway vehicle. The standardized finite element model for composite carbody structures was introduced through comparing the results of real structural test under vertical, compressive, twisting load and natural frequency test of various railway vehicles in this study. The results show that the quadratic shell element is suitable to model the reinforced metal frame used to improve the flexural stiffness of sandwich panel compared to beam element, and layered shell and solid element are recommended to model the skin and honeycomb core of sandwich panel compared to sandwich shell element. Also, the proposed standard finite element model has the merit of being applied to crashworthiness problem without modifications of finite element model.

In this study, structural design and analysis of the automobile bonnet is performed. The flax/vinly ester composite material is applied for structural design. The Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding-Light (VARTML) manufacturing method is adopted for manufacturing the flax fiber composite bonnet. The VARTML is a manufacturing process that the resin is injected into the fly layered-up fibers enclosed by a rigid mold tool under vacuum. A series of flax/vinyl ester composite panels are manufactured, and several kinds of specimens cut out from the panels are tested to obtain mechanical performance data. Based on this, structural design of the automobile bonnet is performed.
