In order to design a wave energy generating system, a 6-DOF analysis technique is applied to CFD analysis on of a floating body and the behavior is interpreted according to the nature of the incoming waves. A spring constant is adopted to control the motion of multi floating bodies and to calculate the total average power absorption. Three cases of different wavelengths namely 20D, 30D and 40D have been modeled to analyze the total average power absorption. The average power absorption not only varies with the position of the floating body but also varies with wavelength. From the results obtained, it is concluded that the maximum total average power absorption is 9W approximately in wavelength 30D and the minimum total average power absorption is 4.3W approximately in wavelength 40D.

Typical automotive opening parts, i. e. hood trunk lid and door, are made through the press operations such as drawing, trimming, flanging, and hemming. The dimensional accuracy of stamped panels is mainly dependent on the drawing operation. However, the gap between outer panels and opening parts, which is important to the appearance quality of the assembled body, is directly influenced by the flanging and hemming operation. In this study, the relation between the design parameters of the hemming operation and the defect of roll-in is shown. The effects of some design parameters on the gap are examined using CAE. furthermore, the simulated results of the hemmed part of tailgate comer are shown and discussed.

철강산업은 자동차용 강판 공급체인의 총체적 측면에서 볼 때 자동차산업의 핵심 공급자로서 중요한 역할을 수행하고 있다. 1990년대 초반 이후 자동차용 바디 제조공정에 테일러 웰디드 브랭크, 하이드로포밍 등 첨단금속소재 가공기술이 다양한 부위에 널리 적용되고 있다. 한편 자동차업계 및 철강업계는 설비 공급과잉에 따른 치열한 생존경쟁이 전개되는 가운데 이들 업계를 둘러싼 경영환경이 급속히 변화하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기술혁신 및 경영 환경변화가 급속하게 전개되는 글로벌 마켓에서 자동차 바디용 강판 공급체인 상의 철강업체 역할 변화를 고려하고자 한다. 철강산업은 완성차업체 및 자동차 최종고객을 만족시키기 위한 원가절감 전략을 구현하는 동시에 소재 프로세싱 분야에 대한 기술역량을 축적하여야 한다. 이것이 현재 경쟁업체, 신규진입업체 및 대체 소재산업들과의 경쟁환경에서의 철강업체의 성공전략이다.

In this study, a mathematical nonlinear dynamic model is introduced to predict the damping force of automotive shock absorber. And 11 design parameters were proposed for the sensitivity analysis of damping force. Design parameters consist of 5 piston valve design parameters, 5 body valve design parameters and 1 initial pressure of reservoir chamber air. All of these design parameters are main design parameters of shock absorber in the procedure of shock absorber design. The simulation results of this paper offer qualitative information of damping force variation according to variation of design parameters. Therefore, simulation results of this paper can be usefully use in the design procedure of shock absorber

Virtual Manufacturing is a technology facilitating effective development and agile production of products via computer models representing physical and logical schema and the behavior of the real manufacturing systems. For the successful application of this technology, a virtual plant as a well-designed and integrated environment is essential. We propose a series of systematic approaches and effective methods for construction and operation of a virtual plant in this paper, such as a 3-D CAD modeling, cell and line simulations and databases. We developed key technologies for measuring and 3-D CAD modeling of many equipments, facilities and structures of the buildings. In order to study the benefit of virtual manufacturing, we constructed a sophisticated virtual plant model of a Korean automotive company's body shop, and conducted precise simulations of unit cell, lines and the whole plant. We could obtain the benefit of savings in time and cost in many manufacturing preparation activities in the new car development processes.

Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry(ESPI) using a CW laser, a video system and image processor was applied to the rotating displacement of rigid body. ESPI require no special surface preparation or attachments and displacements between any two arbitrary points on the surface can be measured. The characteristic speckle pattern formed when imaging a scattering surface illuminated by laser light retains phase information, which can be used for interferometric measurement of surface displacement. The application of this principle to measuring in-plane displacement resolved in one direction is described, together with the novel use of television equipment to detect and process the information contained in the speckle pattern. This is faster, and more convenient and versatile than customary photographic methods.

A leaf spring plays an important role in a passenger bus. Since characteristic of a leaf spring has a hysteresis behaviour, modeling technique for a leaf spring is an important issue for passenger bus analysis. In this paper, modeling technique for a leaf spring is presented. First, non-linear FEM model of a leaf spring is constructed then it is used to make an approximated model to be used in dynamic analysis. The modeling procedure is ex-plained in step by step approach. Then, this model is applied to dynamic analysis of a mini-bus with flexible body and non-linear dynamic force element. The results are compared with test data.

Recently, atmospheric contaminations has become worse due to the increased number of automobile. The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve acts as a flow control to allow re-combustion of blow-by gas by having it flow from a crankcase to an inlet manifold suction tube. Also, during the fabrication of the PCV valve, micro cracks may occur in the valve body and be extended under operation. The excessive stress distribution and crack initiation on the PCV valve body would bring an unstable blow-by gas flow rate control and would cause valve failure. The purpose of this study is to examine the crack affects on the stress and strain variations on the PCV valve according to the inlet and outlet manifold under differential pressures. From the results, we can explain the behavior of the crack extension for a safe condition of PCV valve.

This article describes the design of a hydraulic system for a power split type continuously variable transmission (CVT). The CVT considered here, is composed of planetary gears, clutches, and a torque converter which is mainly used for the realization of CVT function. Similar to automatic transmissions, the hydraulic system of CVT is designed for supplying hydraulic flows and pressures to each component of CVT, in order to activate the clutch engagements and torque converter operation, and to cool the drivetrain. By using the mathematical models of drivetrain, a simulation program was developed to investigate the power performance of CVT equipped vehicle and the operating conditions of each component of CVT. And the design parameters of the hydraulic system and clutches were calculated using the operating conditions and power requirements which obtained from the simulation results. Finally the hydraulic circuit design of prototyped valve body is presented based on the numerical results of this analysis.

The frictional properties of automotive brake pads with four different ceramic materials such as magnesia, hematite, alumina, and zircon were investigated. A Krauss type friction tester using gray iron disks was used to examine the friction coefficient, intensity of friction force oscillation, and the tribe-surfaces. Results showed that the friction coefficient increased as the hardness of abrasives increases. Friction oscillation was also increased with hardness of the abrasives. However, the friction materials containing less abrasive particles produced stable friction films on the sliding surface. The transition between two-body and three body abrasion during sliding also played a crucial role in destructing the friction film on the pad surface and in determining various frictional properties.
