In this study, the crashworthiness analysis was carried out for the hat type section side rails which had an important role of absorbing the impact energy during frontal crash. In case of a tapered hat type section model, numerical simulation models and test models were designed with varing design variables; welding pitch, taper angle, initiator shape, initiator location. The effect of variation of the design variables was investigated by quasi-static and dynamic test and numerical simulation.

한국인 인체모델은 동적 환경에서 정면 및 측면 충돌에 대한 지체의 가속도를 얻을 수 있도록 개발되었다. 우선 GEBOD에 입력하기 위한 32개의 한국인 인체치수를 선별하고, 15개의 지체를 가진 한국인 인체모델을 구성한다. 손 동작의 감성평가에 이용하기 위해 손을 독립된 지체로 분리한 17개 지체의 인체모델을 완성한다. MADYMO를 통한 정면충돌 테스트에서는 Hybrid III에 비해 한국인의 머리와 흉부 가속도가 비교적 높게 나왔고, 측면충돌 테스트에서 흉추 1번의 가속도는 ISO에서 요구하는 범위의 상한값을 조금 벗어나는 결과를 얻었다.

Most protection systems such as seat belts and airbags are not effective means for side structure. There has been significant effort in the automobile industries in seeking other protective methods, such as stiffer structure and padding on the door inner panel. Therefore, a car-to-car side impact model has been developed using ATB occupant simulation program and validated for test data of the vehicle. Compared to the existing side impact models, the developed model has a more detailed vehicle side structure representation for the more realistic impact response of the door. This model include impact bar which effectively increases the side structure stiffness without reduction of space between the occupant and the door and padding for absorbing impact energy. The established model is applied to a 4-door vehicle. The parameter study indicated that a stiffer impact bar would reduce both the acceleration-based criteria, such as thoracic trauma index: TTI(d), and deformation-based criteria, such as viscous criterion(VC). Padding on the door inner panel would reduce TTI(d) while VC gives the opposite indication in a specified thickness range. For a 4-door vehicle, the stiffness enhancement of B-pillar is more beneficial than that of A-pillar for occupant injury severity indices.

In this paper, strain and stress on space frame are analyzed at racing car under crash loads. As the deformation is reduced to a minimum during crash and the vulnerable parts are grasped, the safety of driver is ensured. The vehicle frame is modelled with truss structure by inputting the material property of carbon steel on finite element analysis. The increase of impulse momentum is due to speed change at frontal collision. This influence effected on vehicle frame is also analyzed by ANSYS program. The deformation of the frame is studied by applying the crash loads at front, side and rear directions. Though the influence on the seat of driver is small at frontal and rear crash, the deformation due to impact is progressed into this seat. The safety of frame is enhanced by making up for these weak deformations and these results of simulation analysis can be applied to the production of the actual vehicle frame.

In this study, a side collision accident reconstruction using database based on the deformed shape information from the collision test using model cars is suggested. A deformation index and angle index related to the deformed shape is developed to set the database for the collision accident reconstruction algorithm. Two small size RC cars are developed to carry out the side collision test. Several side collision tests according to the velocity and collision angles are performed for establishing the side collision database. A high speed camera with 1000fps is used to capture the motion of the car. A side collision accident reconstruction algorithm is developed and applied to find the collision conditions before the accident occurs. Two collision cases are tested to validate the database and the algorithm. The results obtained by the reconstruction algorithm show good match with original conditions with regard to the velocity and angle.

In order to reduce passenger injuries in side collisions, car makers are developing a side impact airbag system while Volvo has already adopted. This study examines dummy injury reduction effect of a side airbag system using full car side impact simulation according to FMVSS 214 test procedure. The simulation result without side airbag shows a good correlation with test data. The folded airbag simulation is carried out to check main design factors. Through the simulation with side airbag module integrated in the seat frame, it is found that the side airbag system provides a substantially enhanced protection for car occupants in side collisions.

Occupant protection in the side impact of a vehicle becomes one of the most important issues today. So, to reduce development time and cost, it needs test equipment which conducts an accurate simulation of the side impact crash. This paper describes a new test method for side impact, which utilizes a standard 12inch-HYGE-type sled facility. If a side impact sled test can simulate vehicle intrusion very well, it will contribute to develop full-scale side impact crash performance. The newly developed sled test method enables simulation for dummy motion, injury, door velocity, trim crack, and vehicle structure to be accurate. Ant also this sled test method can be applied to the development of side air-bag.

에어백 관련기술은 차체 충돌특성 평가, 승객거동분석, 좌석벨트/조향축/에어백의 조화설계 등을 포함하는 시스템 엔지니어링 기술과 충돌감지센서, 가스발생기, 모듈 등을 포함하는 주요 기능 부품의 설계 및 제조기술로 구분된다. 이 중 시스템 엔지니어링 기술은 국내의 완성차 업계의 노력에 의하여 선진국의 수준에 근접하고 있으나 부품의 설계 및 제조기술은 매우 취약한 상황이다. 80년대 후반부터 각국의 에어백 관련 특허 출원 건수가 급증하고 있으며 새로운 기능의 부품들이 속속 개발되고 있다. 에어백 기술의 발전방향은 소형화, 경량화, 저렴화로 요약된다. 차량의 전방 충돌에 대비한 에어백이 주종을 이루고 있으나 측면 충돌에 대비한 side bag, 뒷자석 승객을 보호하기 위한 rear bag 등이 개발되고 있고 최근에는 버스 등 대형차량이나 모터사이클 등에도 에어백을 부착하기 위한 연구가 추진되고 있다. 에어백은 충돌센서(crash sensor), 가스발생장치(inflator), 공기주머니(bag), 덮개(cover), 배선(wire harness) 등으로 구성된다. 이들 중에서 공기주머니, 덮개, 가스발생장치를 결합한 부분 조립품을 모듈(module)이라고 부르고 있다. 이하에서는 에어백을 구성하는 주요 기능부품들의 종류, 특성과 기술개발 동향을 알아보기로 한다.
