we studied the structural weak areas of an electric car bogie frame by finite element analysis. The bogie frame under consideration is a part of the standard electric car with aluminium car body. Vertical, torsional. lateral and longitudinal loadings were applied. Numerical results were compared with the experimental results. The two results are in a good agreement.

Most advanced countries are researching to apply light weight materials far rolling stock because weight reduction for railway body derives cost-saving, energy-saving, and high-speed. Likewise, current Korea rolling stock field makes arduous effects of weight-reduction, miniaturization, and high-efficiency to achieve a high-speed railway. Aluminum becomes suitable material for these projects because it is much lighter than steel or stainless. Manufacturing the railway car body by using the Aluminum is increasing because Aluminum is not bringing the corrosion by unique oxidation-passivate. Aluminum extrusion profile far railway body requires a high mechanical property, accurate shape dimension, and stable quality because the railway body is composed with many different kinds of extruded profiles. Therefore, it is necessary to research about Aluminum precision-extrusion technology to maintain exit temperature and die load. The goal of this project is applying the Aluminum extrusion profile to next-generation railway car body by developing the Aluminum extrusion profile according to precision-extrusion technology which may maintain isothermal exit temperature.

The fatalities of pedestrian account for about 21.2% of all fatalities at 2007 year in Korea. To reconstruct exactly the accident, it is important to calculate the throw distance of pedestrian in car to pedestrian accident. The frontal shape of SUV vehicle is dissimilar to passenger car and bus, so the trajectory and throw distance of pedestrian by SUV vehicle is not the same of passenger car and bus. The influencing on it can be classified into the factors of vehicle and pedestrian, and road factor. It was analyzed by PC-CRASH for simulation, and SPSS s/w was used for regression analysis. From the simulation results, the maximum impact energy of multi-body of pedestrian was occurred to that of torso body at the same time. And the throw distance increased with the increasing of impact velocity, and decreased with the increasing of impact offset. Also it decreased with the increasing of velocity of pedestrian at accident, and the throw distance of wet road was longer than that of dry road. Finally, the regression analysis model of SUV(Nissan Pathfinder type)vehicle in car to pedestrian accident was as follows; $$disti_i=-0.87-0.11offseti_i+0.69speed_i-4.27height_i+0.004walk_i+0.63wet_i+{\epsilon}_i$$.

This study is about design of vehicle for air tightness to pressure waves of high speed train. When the train runs to high speed over 300km/h, the comfort of passenger come down due to difference pressure between inside and outside of passenger room. The car-body was carried out the design of air-tightness, and the analysis of inside pressure of vehicle in tunnel by TG_TUN of ALSTOM Co. The result of analysis should be used the design of air pressurized system and car-body of G7 high speed train project.

To estimate the reliability of the standard electric multiple unit developed by Korea Railroad Research Institute, the vehicle system composed of 4 cars is divided into 14 subsystems. The 14 subsystems are connected in series. For each subsystem except for car body and bogie, failure rate is evaluated by an optimal failure model used in reliability engineering. For car body and bogie probabilistic structural integrity analysis is carried out. The distribution of failure rate of each part and system is assumed to be exponential. The estimated MTBF of the vehicle satisfies the planned MTBF.

The pitch of spot-weld is a important variable in a view of both production cost and strength of car-body. Various renditions for the selection of pitches have been researched and especially in this paper the buckling analysis is carried out for the 2-sheet pannel structures. The optimal pitch is obtained by optimization program and FEM, which can enhance the buckling strength.

차량의 측면은 전면이나 후면과 다르게 비대칭으로 설계되어있기 때문에 측면충돌이 일어나는 경우 충돌부위에 따라 차체의 변형정도가 크게 달라진다. 충돌로 인하여 차체에 탄성 및 소성 변형이 일어날 때 운동에너지가 차체로 흡수되어 운동량이 감소하게 된다. 일반적으로 교통사고분석은 충돌 후 차량의 거동을 운동량 보존법칙으로 분석하며 차체의 변형에 따른 에너지 흡수량은 반발계수를 적용해 그 오차를 보정한다. 본 연구에서는 차체의 구조와 각 부품의 재료특성을 적용한 유한요소 차량모델을 LS-DYNA로 해석하였으며, 그 결과를 분석하여 SUV와 승용차의 측면충돌에서 차량의 접촉부위에 따른 반발계수와 충돌감지시간을 도출하였다. 최종적으로 산출된 반발계수와 충돌감지시간을 실제 교통사고 사례에 적용하였을 때 결과오차의 개선효과를 얻었다. 유한요소해석 모델을 이용하여 도출한 초기 입력값을 적용했을 때 기존의 분석기법보다 해석의 신뢰도가 높다는 결과를 얻게 되었다.

Digital Manufacturing is a technology facilitating effective developments and agile productions of the product via digital computer models representing physical and logical schema and the behavior of the real manufacturing systems including manufacturing resources, environments and products. For the successful application of this technology, a digital factory as a well-designed and an integrated environment is essential. In this paper, we constructed the sophisticated digital factory of a Korean automotive company's body shop, and conducted precise simulations of unit cell, lines and the whole factory for the collision check, the production flow analysis and the off-line programming. We expect that this digital factory of the body shop helps us achieve great savings in time and cost for many manufacturing preparation activities of the new car development.

This paper describes the static and dynamic characteristics of body mount system which are to be considered in the early design stage. At every location of body mount the static load and dynamic response to road input were calculated using the half car model. Normal mode analysis for the half car model was also performed. In the analysis the design parameters such as the stiffness of mount rubbers and their distribution on mount location were examined for improving ride comfort especially in the lower frequency range.

One of the most important factors that affect a person's risk of injury in a motor vehicle crash is the age of the person. This study investigates the characteristics of crash injuries among young, middle-aged and older drivers and occupants. Based on the comprehensive claim data from automobile insurance from 2000 to 2007, this study examines in great detail the drivers and occupants injury body regions and severity by age in car-to-car frontal crashes. It has been shown that elderly drivers and occupants suffer more injuries at a chest region compared to the middle-aged group. This research calls attention to the need for design to make vehicles more protective for older drivers in car-to car frontal crashes.
