This study investigates the structural integrity of the amphibious tour bus under the rollover condition. The multi-purpose bus called Dual Mode Tour Bus (DMTB) which explores on land and water has been designed on top of a truck platform. Prior to the fabrication of new upper body and sailing equipment of DMTB, computational analysis investigates the rollover protection of the proposed structure including superstructure, wheels, and axles. The Computer-Aided Design (CAD) of the whole vehicle model is meshed and preprocessed under high performance using the Altair HyperMesh to attain the best mesh model suited for finite element analysis (FEA) on the proposed system. Meanwhile, the numerical model is analyzed by employing LS-DYNA to evaluate the superstructure strength. The numerical model includes detail information about the microstructure and considers wheels and axles as rigid bodies but excludes window glasses, seats, and interior parts. Based on the simulation analysis and proper modifications especially on the rear portion of the bus, the local stiffness significantly increased. The vehicle is rotated to the contact point on the ground based on the mathematical method presented in this study to save computational cost. The results show that the proposed method of rollover analysis is highly significant not only in bus rollover tests but in crashworthiness studies for other application. The critical impartments in our suggested dual-purpose bus accepted and passed "Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) R66".

The present study aims to improve the accuracy of the maneuvering simulations based on captive model test results. To derive the hydrodynamic coefficients in a self-propelled condition, a mathematical maneuvering model using a whole vehicle model was established. Captive model tests were carried out using the Vertical Planar Motion Mechanism (VPMM) equipment. A motor controller was used to control the constant propeller revolution rate during pure motion tests. The resistance tests, self-propulsion tests, static drift tests, and VPMM tests were performed in the towing tank of Seoul National University. When the vertical drift angle changes, the gravity load on the sensors were changed. The hydrodynamic forces were deduced by subtracting the gravity load from the measured forces. The hydrodynamic coefficients were calculated using the least-square method. The simulation of the turning circle test was compared with the free-running model test result, and the error of the turning radius was 8.3 % compared to the free-running model test.

A nonlinear analysis of torsional self-excited vibration in the driveline system for wheeled towing tractors was presented, with a 2-DOF mathematical model. The vibration system was described as a second-order ordinary differential equation. An analytical approach was proposed to the solution of the second-order ODE. The mathematical neighborhood concept was used to construct the interior boundary and the exterior boundary. The ODE was proved to have a limit cycle by using $Poincar\'{e}-Bendixson$ Annulus Theorem when two inequalities were satisfied. Because the two inequalities are easily satisfied, the self-excited vibration is inevitable and even the initial slip rate is little. However, the amplitude will be almost zero when the third inequality is satisfied. Only in a few working modes of the towing tractor the third inequality is not satisfied. It is shown by experiments that the torsional self-excited vibration in the driveline of the vehicle is obvious.

자동차의 과도한 차체 운동과 조종 불안정성을 유발하는 대표적인 외란 입력으로는 운전자에 의해 가해지는 조향 핸들 조작이다. 급격하고 과도한 핸들 조작은 SUV 차량처럼 기하학적 및 동역학적 특성에 따라 차량 전복 현상도 발생시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이에 대응할 수 있는 제어 시스템의 구조화에 대하여 다음과 같이 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 운전자 조종으로 유발되는 횡방향 거동에 대한 수학적 모델링을 수행하고, 이를 토대로 차체 운동을 제어할 수 있는 제어기를 설계하였다. 파라미터 불확실성으로 인한 모델링 오차에 대해 강건한 제어 성능을 확보하기 위하여 $H_{\infty}$ 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 비 연성화된 1/4 차량을 기반으로, 차체에 작용하는 모우멘트에 상응하는 동적 부하를 모사할 수 있는 모델을 제시하였다. 동적 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 부하 모사 모델의 타당성을 파악하였다. 차체- 차축- 서스펜션- 타이어로 조합되는 1/4 실험 차량 장치와 부하 모사 모듈, 서스펜션 제어 모듈 및 Hils 기술을 적용하는 차체 거동 제어 시스템에 대한 프레임워크를 제안하였다.

Due to recent improvements in computer processing speed and image processing technology, researches are being actively carried out to combine information from a camera with existing GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) and dead reckoning. In this study, the mathematical model based on SPR (Single Photo Resection) is derived for image-based assistant algorithm for vehicle positioning. Simulation test is performed to analyze factors affecting SPR. In addition, GNSS/on-board vehicle sensor/image based positioning algorithm is developed by combining image-based positioning algorithm with existing positioning algorithm. The performance of the integrated algorithm is evaluated by the actual driving test and landmark's position data, which is required to perform SPR, based on simulation. The precision of the horizontal position error is 1.79m in the case of the existing positioning algorithm, and that of the integrated positioning algorithm is 0.12m at the points where SPR is performed. In future research, it is necessary to develop an optimized algorithm based on the actual landmark's position data.

A new approach to developing battery SOC indicator for electric vehicle is discussed in this paper. One of the most difficult problems associated with the development of electric vehicle is the battery indicator which reliably informs the state of charge(SOC) of the battery to the driver. And the condition to be satisfied with SOC indicator installed on the electric vehicle is that it should be used under frequently variable load. A new method to determining SOC using neural networks(NN) is proposed to satify the condition. The training data of NN are obtained by using mathematical model of lead-acid battery, and calculating discharge currents and terminal voltages while battery discharges with constant current. The 3-layered NN with back propagation algorithm is used Simulation results show that the proposed method is appropriate as SOC indicator of the battery.

발사체의 추진공급시스템에 사용되는 벤트/릴리프밸브는 안전밸브의 조합체로 극저온의 산화제를 주입할 때와 비행 중에 기화된 산소기체를 배출시킨다. 벤트/릴리프밸브의 설계검증을 위해 AMESim과 FLUENT 상용코드를 이용하여 밸브모델을 구성하였다. AMESim 밸브모델을 검증하기 위해 밸브의 개폐압력, 개폐작동시간을 수학적 계산결과와 비교하였고 내부유동해석 결과를 반영하여 모델의 정확도를 높였다. 본 연구에서는 설계인자를 검증 및 작동성능을 분석하였다. 이 결과는 한국형 발사체에 사용되는 다양한 규격의 벤트/릴리프밸브 개발과정의 효율성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In the design of AGVS (Automated Guided Vehicle Systems), one of the important problem is to determine the number of AGVs required to provide a given level of transport service. At present, there are two kind of methods to determine the number of AGVs, the one is to use the mathematical model, the other is to use the simulation technique. Among these, simulation based technique is more reliable than analytical method. In this sense, this paper intend to determine the optimal number of AGVs using personal computer simulation by SIMAN Ver.3.5.

An integrated charger is used for bi-directional power conversion between an electric vehicle and a power grid. The proposed integrated charger works in a way that motor windings are utilized as filter inductances for charging/discharging of batteries in addition to the original purpose of motor drives. After a mathematical model of the integrated charger based on an dual winding induction machine (DWIM) is discussed, a current control method is designed for grid connection. The effectiveness of the proposed method is examined with simulation results.
