A cabin of the agricultural tractor is designed to protect the driver from vibration transmitted due to the irregular ground and overturning of the tractor. The cabin is usually manufactured by welding frames and plates. Consequently, the welded state of the frame and plate affects the stiffness of the cabin structure. In this paper, the static and dynamic stiffness characteristics of the cabin are identified through finite element analysis and effects of the structure production error are investigated to insure the structural stiffness of the cabin.

본 연구는 전산유체역학(CFD)을 이용하여 트랙터 캐빈 내부의 온도 변화 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발하고 이를 통해 공조장치의 위치를 최적화 하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 자동차나 열차를 대상으로 시뮬레이션을 이용한 차량 내부의 유동 해석 연구 사례는 많으나, 트랙터를 대상으로 한 연구 사례는 적다. 이에 트랙터의 공조장치를 설계하고 그 성능을 검증할 때 시뮬레이션 모델을 활용한다면, 인력, 시간 등의 손실을 줄일 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 상용 CFD 프로그램을 활용하여 공조 장치의 위치에 따른 세 가지 트랙터 캐빈 모델을 제작한 뒤, 각각의 모델에 대해서 열 유동 해석을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과가 실제 트랙터의 시험 결과와 비슷한 경향을 보이고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며 이를 통해 모델의 적합성을 확인하였다. 또한 세 가지의 캐빈 모델 중 탑승자에게 가장 쾌적한 환경을 제공할 수 있는 모델은 기존의 국내 트랙터와 같은 천정부에 공조 장치가 있는 것이 아니라, 핸들이 있는 전면부에 위치하는 것이 가장 적합하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다

Agricultural tractors must have a function of ROPS to protect drivers under roll-over accident. In this study, finite element analyses and an optimal design were performed to reduce the cost and the production period of the cabin frame of a tractor to pass the ROPS strength test. To confirm the pass of ROPS strength test of an initial design model, the results of deformation and principal strain from the analyses were evaluated. To reduce the weight of the cabin frame, design of experiment of Taguchi was implemented, and an optimal design was obtained. The weight of the optimal design model was reduced by 7% comparing with the initial design model.

The Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) is used for cabin air heating of a battery electric vehicle, which is different from conventional vehicles. Since the PTC heater consumes a large quantity of power in a parasitic manner, many valuable studies have been reported in the field of alternative heat pumps. In this study, a model for an R134a heat pump taking into account the thermal environment of the cabin was developed for a MATLAB/SIMULINK(R) platform. Component and cabin models are validated with reference values. Results show that the heat pump is more competitive for parasitic power consumption over all ambient temperature conditions. Additionally, the method of waste heat recovery to overcome disadvantages when temperatures are below zero is applied to efficiently operate the heat pump.

In this paper, we design, fabricate, and test the performance of a cabin filter with LED modules of composite wavelengths containing UV-A and UV-C. Germs and air farms of the manufactured cabin filter confirmed sterilization capability in the sterilization test, and special chambers were manufactured to verify organic material decomposition capability in the organic compound decomposition test. Using colkates as photocatalytic was proved to be superior to using metal mash. The sterilization and air purification capabilities of the cabin filter produced throughout this study were verified through a similar environmental test.

The overall concept of the interior space on a vehicle, which is related to the exterior design presents a new turning point at the body design concept on a vehicle and it means the interior space on a vehicle has the largest portion. The concept of the roominess at the interior space is consisted on many physical dimensions for the comfort of passengers, but these elements should be considered also as the result of the dynamic reflections of the characteristics of market demand, and it is not only to designate the physical dimensions and positions of the interior design elements, but also to influence to the total body shape of the vehicle. These days the concept of the interior space is now on the way of changing which is not limited only to the passenger car. The change is more evident especially at the total body shape which is not only the details of the exterior style and it would expend to other type of vehicles.

In this study, shape optimization was performed to improve the vibration isolation capability of an anti-vibration rubber assembly, which is used in the field option cabin of agricultural tractors. A uniaxial tension test and biaxial tension test were performed to characterize the hyper-elastic material properties of rubber, and the data were used to calibrate the material model used in the finite element analyses. A field test was performed to quantify the input excitation from the tractor and the output response at the cabin frame. To account for the nonlinear behavior of rubber, static analyses were performed and the load-displacement curve of rubber was derived. The stiffness of the rubber was calculated from this curve and input to the harmonic analyses of the cabin. The results were verified using the test data. Taguchi's parameter design method was used to find the optimal shape of the anti-vibration rubber assembly, which indicated a shape with reduced stiffness. The vibration of the cabin frame was reduced by the optimization by as much as 35% compared to the initial design.

For the empirical analysis in this study, 335 cabin crews from large airline companies and budget airlines were interviewed using self-reporting questionnaires. The data was analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0. First, of the organizational culture types, the relationship-oriented culture, hierarchy-oriented culture, and task-oriented culture were found to have negative impacts on job stress. Second, the innovation-oriented organizational culture, relationship-oriented culture, and hierarchy-oriented culture were found to have positive impacts on empowerment. Third, empowerment was found to have a negative impact on job stress. Fourth, as for the mediating effect of empowerment, the innovation-oriented culture, relationship-oriented culture, hierarchy-oriented culture, and task-oriented culture were verified to be all significantly mediated by empowerment in their relationship with job stress. As a result, it was shown that cabin crews of airline companies found their work more fun, interesting, and valuable in an organizational structure that was more oriented toward flexibility, rather than the hierarchical, task-oriented cultures that are more focused on control and order. It was also found that empowerment was a mediating factor in the relationship between organizational culture and job stress.
