섬유금속 적층판(FMLs)은 손상허용도를 향상시키고 무게를 줄이는데 적합하여 항공우주 응용의 신소재로 각광을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 우선 섬유와 알루미늄을 이용하여 적층판을 제조하여 인장시험을 수행 후 FMLs의 기계적 물성을 평가하였다. 또한 알루미늄과 섬유적층의 변화를 주어 낙추충격시험기(Drop Weight Impact Tester)를 이용하여 저속충격하에서 낙추 높이를 조절하여 각 종류의 시험편 마다 충격시간에 따른 하중과 충격흡수에너지를 각각 비교하였다. 추가로 유한요소해석을 이용하여 시험조건과 동일 조건하 인장과 충격거동해석을 수행한 결과를 실험치와 비교하여 실험과 이론해석이 잘 일치함을 보였다.

Recycled polypropylene (RPP) - Wood Saw Dust (WSD) composites with and without acetylation of filler were produced at different filler loading (15%, 25%, 35% and 45% w/w) and filler size (300, 212 and $100{\mu}m$). The RPP-WSD was compounded using a Haake Rheodrive 500 twin screw compounder at $190^{\circ}C$ at 8 MPa for 30 minutes. The mechanical properties and water absorption properties of modified and unmodified WSD-PP composites were investigated. Acetylation of WSD improved the mechanical and water absorption characteristic of composites. The decrease of filler size (300 to $100{\mu}m$) of the unmodified and acetylated WSD showed increase of tensile strength and impact properties. The composites exhibited higher tensile modulus properties as the filler loading increased (15% to 45%). However tensile strength, elongation at break and impact strength showed the opposite phenomenon. Water absorption increased as the mesh number and filler loading increased. With acetylation, lower moisture absorption was observed as compared to unmodified WSD. The failure mechanism from impact fracture of the filler-matrix interface with and without acetylation was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).

In an attempt to reach a balance of performances in homo-polypropylene based system, the effects of single and hybrid reinforcements inclusions comprising calcium carbonate nanoparticles (2, 4 and 6 phc) and glass fibers (10 wt.%) on the mechanical and thermal properties were investigated. Different samples were prepared by employing twin-screw extruder and injection molding machine. In morphological studies, the uniform distribution of glass fibers in PP matrix, relative adhesion between glass fibers and polymer, and existence of nanoparticles in polymer matrix were observed. $PP/CaCO_3$ (6 phc) as compared to pure PP and PP/GF had superior tensile and flexural strengths, impact resistance and deformation temperature under load (DTUL). $PP/GF/CaCO_3$ (6 phc) composite displayed comparable tensile and flexural strengths and impact resistance to neat PP, while its tensile and flexural moduli and deformation temperature under load (DTUL) were 436%, 99% and $26^{\circ}C$greater respectively. The maximum impact resistance was observed in $PP/CaCO_3$(6 phc). The highest DTUL was perceived in PP hybrid nanocomposite containing 10 wt.% glass fiber and 4 phc $CaCO_3$ nanoparticle.

This paper presents the ride comfort analysis of a vehicle based on wavelet transform. Traditionally, the objective evaluation of impact harshness is based on the vibration dose value (VDV) and frequency weighting method. These methods do not consider the damping effect of the suspension system of a vehicle. In this paper, the damping is estimated using wavelet transform based on Morlet mother wavelet and its effect is considered for the subjective evaluation of impact harshness of a car.

Effect of coupling agent on the mechanical properties of PP/GF blend was investigated. The flexural modulus, Izod impact strength, elongation at yield and tensile strength were improved with using coupling agent. Mopological studies revealed that PP and GF were incompatible and addition of coupling agent was very effective to enhance the compatibility, result in mechanical properties.

Polyacetals with melamine were investigated in terms of mechanical properties. It was found that tensile strength, impact strength and elongation were decreased with the increase of melamine content up to 30 par, flexural strength had no remarkable changes. For master-batch using polyurethane as carrier resin, in which the ratio of polyurethane to melamine was 2:1, tensile strength and flexural strength were decreased and impact strength remained unchanged with melamine me content.

W-beam guardrail system has been the most popular roadside safety device around the world. Through large plastic deformation and corresponding energy dissipation, a W-beam guardrail system contains and re-directs out-of-control vehicles so as to reduce the impact damage on the vehicle occupants and the vehicles themselves. In this paper, our recent experiments on 1 : 3.75 downscaled W-beam and the beam-post system are reported. The static and impact test results on the load characteristics, the global response and the local cross-sectional distortion are reveled. The effects of three different end-boundary conditions for the beam-only testing are examined. It is found that the load characteristics are much dependent on the combined contribution of the local cross-sectional distortion and the end-supporting conditions. The energy Partitioning between the beam and the supporting Posts in the beam-Post-system testing were also examined. The results showed that the energy dissipation partitioning changed with the input impact energy. Finally, a simple mass-spring model is developed to assess the dynamic response of a W-beam guardrail system in response to an impact loading. The model's prediction agrees well with the experimental results.

The currently observed trend in car manufacturing is to increase energy-efficiency by producing lighter cars. This study examines the replacement of particular parts, specifically around the impact beam, with material composites 30% lighter than conventional steel currently used. The shape of the impact beam was determined as the trapezoidal cross-sectional area with central reinforcement, using three-point bending analysis. A prototype was fabricated based on the findings of our study and its performance was evaluated by the three-point bending analysis; 2 ply of aramid applied for its displacement. The performance of the final prototype for the door assembly was evaluated using a side-door strength test, which resulted to measured initial strength of 10.5 KN and intermediate strength of 15.6 KN. This research provides a promising solution for better impact beam manufacturing.

본 연구에서는 자동차 도어에 대한 충격을 흡수하기 위한 차체의 해석을 함으로서 승차자의 안전을 조사할 수 있었다. 차체의 충돌이나 운전자의 부주의로 인한 주차 사고 때문에 자동차 도어의 손상이 일어난다. 이러한 도어는 CATIA 프로그램으로 모델링하였고, ANSYS 프로그램을 통하여 충돌에 의한 도어 모델의 파손과정을 해석하고 조사하였다. 등가응력과 변형율의 등고선들을 구하였고 충돌 하에서 도어가 어떻게 파손이 일어나는지를 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과로서 충돌안전을 고려한 도어 설계에 기여 할 것이라 사료된다.

The spot welded sections of automobiles (hat and double hat shaped sections) absorb most of the energy in a front-end collision. The target of this paper is to analyze the energy absorbing capacity of the structure against the front-end collision, and to obtain useful information for designing stage. Changed the spot welded pitches on the flanges, the hat and double hat shaped section members were tested on the axial collapse loads at various impact velocities. It was expected that para-closed sections would show collapse characteristics which be quite different from those of perfectly closed sections. Hat shaped section members were tested at the impact collapse velocities of 4.72m/sec, 6.54m/sec and 7.1m/sec and double hat shaped section members were tested at the impact collapse velocities of 6.54m/sec, 7.1 m/sec and 7.27m/sec.
