The fiber-reinforced plastics and cellular injection molding process can be used to efficiently reduce the weight of battery housing components of mild hybrid electronic vehicles(MHEV) made of metal. However, the fiber orientation of fiber-reinforced plastics and the growth of foaming cells are intertwined during the injection molding process, so it is difficult to predict the mechanical properties of products in the design process. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the mechanical properties of the materials prior to the efficient stiffness design of the target product. In this study, a study was conducted to evaluated the mechanical properties of fiber reinforced cellular injection-molded specimens. Two types of fiber-reinforced plastics that can be used in the target product were evaluated for changes in tensile properties of cellular injection-molded specimens depending on the foaming ratio and position from the injection gate. The PP and PA66 specimens showed a decrease of tensile modulus and strength of approximately 30% and 17% depending on the foaming ratio, respectively. Also, the tensile strength decreased approximately 26% and 17% depending on the position from the injection gate, respectively. As a result, it was confirmed that the PP specimens have a significantly mechanical property degradation compared to the PA66 specimens depending on the foaming ratio and position.

Recent vehicle regulations have become increasingly stringent in order to reduce greenhouse gases. Then not only movement to replace internal combustion engine vehicles with hybrid vehicles, but also studies of replacing internal combustion engine fuels with low-pollution fuels are increasing. In this study, the characteristics of a vehicle with LPG fuel engine and mild hybrid system is investigated. To avoid shortage of maximum power on LPG engine, a direct injection system of LPG is applied. In addition, P0 mild hybrid system is adopted to enhence the efficiency of the vehicle. The vehicle model is developed in order to predict fuel economy and CO2 emission of LPDi MHEV.

In this study, on the structure simulation for manufacturing a high strength/light weight 48V battery housing for a mild hybrid vehicle was conducted. Compression analysis was performed in accordance with the international safety standards(ECE R100) for existing battery housings. The effect of plastic materials on compressive strength was analyzed. Three models of truss, honeycomb and grid rib for the battery housing were designed and the strength characteristics of the proposed models were analyzed through nonlinear buckling analysis. The effects of the previous existing rib, double-sided grid rib, double-sided honeycomb rib and double-sided grid rib with a subtractive draft for the upper cover on the compressive strength in each axial direction were examined. It was confirmed that the truss rib reinforcement of the battery housing was very effective compared to the existing model and it was also confirmed that the rib of the upper cover had no significant effect. In the results of individual 3-axis compression analysis, the compression load in the lateral long axis direction was the least and this result was found to be very important to achieve the overall goal in designing the battery housing. To reduce the weight of the presented battery housing model, the cell molding method was applied. It was confirmed that it was very effective in reducing injection pressure, clamping force and weight.

고유가 시대의 도래와 화석연료의 소비를 줄일 수 있는 환경 친화적 자동차인 하이브리드 자동차의 도입이 일본, 미국 등을 중심으로 꾸준히 증가하고 있다. 이 중 마일드 하이브리드 시스템은 Idle Stop-Start, Launch Assist 및 회생 제동 등의 기능을 적용하여 연비개선의 효과를 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 화석 연료를 사용하는 자동차에도 적용이 가능하며 2차 전지에 비해 수명이 긴 슈퍼 커패시터를 사용하여 MHEV용 5kW급 저압 인버터 시스템을 개발하였다.
