현대 사회는 사용자의 Needs가 중요시 되는 사회이다. 따라서 모든 생산 활동은 사용자의 욕구와 감성에 부합하는 제품의 생산에 초점이 맞춰져 있다. 특히, 자동차 분야에서는 사용자의 욕구와 인간 공학적인 측면을 얼마나 잘 반영하는 차를 만들어 내는가가 점차 중요한 요소로서 부각되어지고 있다. 하지만 이들에 대한 Usability test를 위해 실제 Prototyping을 하는데는 많은 액수의 비용이 들게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 비용적 측면과 재사용성 측면을 고려하여, 사용자의 감성에 부합하는 자동차를 만들기 위해 필요한 Usability test를 위해 Virtual reality 기법을 적용한 Simulator(VISVEC : Virtual Simulator for Vehicle Cockpit)를 설계하였다. 그 중, 본 Simulator 상에서 Instrument panel을 중심으로 HMD를 이용한 display시 보다 정확한 Interaction을 위해 Virtual Environment 내에서 보다 빠른 Display 화면 갱신과 사용자의 Object 인지에 영향을 끼치는 Level of detail의 설계에 관해 연구하였다.

This paper studies on the visibility of dashboard in forklift. As part of the real setting devised for this study, 1. Important evaluation by males experience in forklift driving, 2. Icon cognition experiment, 3. Gage cognition experiment, subjects were asked to estimate the important evaluation, sketched to icon and gage position on the screen. Subjective evaluations were carried out by semantic differential method, sketch method, sketch method, then analyzed by consistency test, frequency rate and T-test. I gather the results concerning the relationship between consistent answers and cognition rates of dashboard understand the conditions which create a desired instrument panel.

In general, a fundamental structural design consideration for an automobile is the overall dynamic behavior in bending and torsion. Dynamic behavior of the automobile are mainly influenced by the structural stiffness of B.I.W.(body-in-white) and the physical property of trim components. In this paper, the modeling techniques for various trim components of middle-sized bus are presented, and the dynamic effects of the trim components on the vibration characteristics of the bus are investigated. The $1^{st}$ torsional frequency is decreased by attaching windshield and backlite to the B.I.W., but the $1^{st}$ vertical bending frequency and the $1^{st}$ lateral bending frequency are increased. The natural frequencies of the bus are decreased by attaching doors and windows. And also, the natural frequencies of the bus are large decreased by attaching seats, instrument panel etc. The study shows that the dynamic characteristics of the bus can be effectively predicted in the initial design stage.

Polyurethane has been one of the most important materials for automobile elastic parts such as bumper, head rest, instrument panel and so on since it covers very wide range of mechanical characteristics with low production costs. The processing variables such as formulation of ingredients and mold temperature, mixing speed, etc. can affect the quality of produced polyurethane foams so that process conditions should be determined appropriately. In this study, foaming behaviors of semi-rigid polyurethane were investigated by conducting cup foam tests with two major processing variables such as environmental temperature and blowing agent content. In addition, it was verified that processing conditions of real practice can be determined effectively by considering foaming characteristics obtained by the cup foam tests.

Sixty-four EC-6 teacher candidates were asked to elaborate on the method they used when interrupting seven mathematical pictorial models. The instrument used was research designed but modeled after a 4th grade released state tests. This study was conducted in the southern part of the United States. A panel of experts worked with the researcher to determine the most appropriate initial approach to interrupting the mathematical pictorial model. The pictorial models examined such concepts as measurement, place value and time. Since the questions were on a 4th grade level, it was expected that the teacher candidates would score 100%, however, this was not the case. The results will be given in the paper as each question is discussed. The results of the survey are being used to develop teaching modules for teacher candidates in mathematics methodology classes.

The large injection molded parts technology such as instrument panel, front and rear bumper are presented for a precision molding. Some lead time and cost are required to product these part from design to mass product. Recently, CAE is widely used in product design, mold design and analysis of molding conditions to reduce time and cost. The optimal molding conditions can be obtained by DOE(Design of Experiment). The optimal design applications with CAE and DOE have been used in small molded parts. However, application to the large molded body is not reported. In this paper, optimization of injection molding process is studied for quality control in mass production of automobile bumper. Mold temperature difference is chosen through robust design of injection molding process, the molding process being optimized in term of shrinkage and deflection. The optimal conditions through DOE are validated by using injection molding analysis.

A cowl cross is a part of the car's instrument panel used to maintain the rigidity of the vehicle body side. The application of laser welding has the benefits of speed and thermal deformation compared to arc welding. An ultra-high strength steel sheet is used to reduce the weight of the vehicle body parts. Generally, formability of such a steel sheet is poor because its elongation is very low. For this reason, a method for cold forming of an ultra-high strength steel sheet is required. This paper describes how to improve the formability and weldability of the ultra-high strength steel sheet. Mechanical tests of this material were also performed to evaluate the welding properties of $CO_2$ (GMAW) and those of laser welding.

In this paper, intelligent filtering methodology for masterarm translation signal is proposed. Fidelity and stability are contradicting factors in teleoperation. Human hand trembling filtering is one of the problems in telemanipulation field. During every operation the hand has a certain vibration that can affect the quality of teleoperation, especially in carrying FPD (Flat Panel for Display), nanomanipuation and other precise tasks. It is very important to study the kinesthetic perception of the human and to optimize the teleoperation system accordingly. To cancel out the influence of human's hand vibration the signal from the masterarm should be filtered. One of the feasible solutions is to use an intelligent filter based on fuzzy logic, which is a very flexible instrument. Applying intelligent filtering methodology, we can use some heuristic methods to solve the filtering problem.

The wasted plastic PC/ABS retainer, polyurethane foam (PUF) and vinyl (PVC) skin. In order to investigate the recycling process, the multi-layered instrument panel Each of materials separated was shredded and crushed to create many small particles respectively. The separation of the foam and skin and retainer of zigzagged air blower. Pilot tests performed at the equipment yielded 98.8% by weight of the available PVC and 99.3% by weight of the available PC/ABS respectively. Secondly, the thermal stabilizer and the compatabilizer have been used to improve the physical propertied of recycled materials.. The properties of recycled PVC materials resulted in about 50% compared to that of virgin materials after treatment by Pb-St thermal stabilizer. In addition, the properties of recycled PC/ABS materials was also obtained about 80% compared to that of virgn materials after treatment by PMMA compatabilizer.
