섬유금속적층판은 금속 판재와 섬유 강화 플라스틱을 적층한 하이브리드 소재 중 하나다. 섬유금속적층판은 부품 경량화 측면을 고려했을 시, 뛰어난 충격흡수능력을 가지고 있기 때문에 자동차 및 항공우주 산업에서 적용 및 연구를 진행하고 있는 추세다. 특히, 자동차의 측면 도어 임펙트 빔의 경우, 기존의 금속소재에서 복합재료로 대체하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 자동차의 측면 도어 임펙트 빔을 금속소재와 자기 강화형 폴리프로필렌을 적층한 섬유금속적층판으로 대체하는 것이 목표다. 3가지 종류의 임펙트 빔의 3점 굽힘 시험 수치해석을 통해 단면적 대비 굽힘 저항력의 크기를 비교하였다. 그 후, 제작 실현성을 고려하여 굽힘 저항력이 우수한 이중모자형 임펙트 빔을 순수 DP 980과 섬유금속적층판으로 제작하여 자동차 측면 도어에 설치된 모델을 상정하고 충돌 해석을 수행하였다. 결과적으로 섬유금속적층판을 사용한 임펙트 빔은 기존의 DP 980보다 무게 대비 충격 에너지 흡수 능력이 약 7배 높음을 알 수 있었다.

The impact beam, a beam-shaped reinforcement installed horizontally between the inside and outside panels of car doors, is gaining importance as a solution to meet the regulations on side collision of vehicles. In order to minimize pelvis injury which is the biggest injury happening to the driver and passengers when a vehicle is subject to side collision, energy absorption at the door impact beam should be maximized. For the inner panel, the thrust into the inside of the vehicle must be minimized. The impact beam should be as light as possible so that the extent of pelvis injury to the driver and passenger during side collision of the vehicle is minimal. To achieve this, the weight of the impact beam, has to be optimized. In this study, we perform a design analysis with a goal to reduce the weight of the current impact design by 30% while ensuring stability, reliability, and comparison data of the impact beam for mass production. We conduct three-point bending stress experiments on conventional impact beams and analyze the results. In addition, we use a side-door collision test apparatus to test the performance of beams made of three (different materials: steel, aluminum, and composite beams).

The currently observed trend in car manufacturing is to increase energy-efficiency by producing lighter cars. This study examines the replacement of particular parts, specifically around the impact beam, with material composites 30% lighter than conventional steel currently used. The shape of the impact beam was determined as the trapezoidal cross-sectional area with central reinforcement, using three-point bending analysis. A prototype was fabricated based on the findings of our study and its performance was evaluated by the three-point bending analysis; 2 ply of aramid applied for its displacement. The performance of the final prototype for the door assembly was evaluated using a side-door strength test, which resulted to measured initial strength of 10.5 KN and intermediate strength of 15.6 KN. This research provides a promising solution for better impact beam manufacturing.

The door impact beam of the side-impacted vehicle plays a key role in securing occupant safety by preventing intrusion from the impacting vehicle. Despite the low production cost, the press door impact beam has been adopted sparingly because of the strength inferiority. In this study, the design technologies of the press beam aimed at improving bending strength were investigated. First, the effect of the section shape and size was examined. Next, thickness and material strength were increased. Also, the TRB beam application was simulated by varying combined thickness. Some TRB beams with reduced weight exhibited bending strength over the strength of the pipe beam. Then, the beam with a closed center section also showed remarkably enhanced maximum bending strength.

A hot stamping technology of vehicle door impact beam made of thin sheet steel has been developed, with the aim of ensuring occupant safety in a side collision. This technology has been implemented to increase the strength of vehicle body parts and to reduce not only the weight of door impact beam but also the number of work processes. Mechanical tests were performed to obtain material properties of hot-stamped specimen and those were used as input data in stamping and structural simulation for optimal design of door impact beam. Strength of hot-stamped door impact beam increased to the value 102% higher than that of conventional pipe-shaped door impact beam and structural simulation showed that hot-stamped door impact beam achieved 28% weight reduction.
