This paper presents the analyzing method of golf shoes and shows design technique including air-cycled pump in the midsole. The golf shoes are analyzed by using the finite element method for the optimization in design by considering the configuration of midsole and outsole, which compose the golf shoes. Also the optimum size of air-cycled pump in the midsole is examined. Standard human pressure values for boundary conditions are adoped for the finite element analysis. The unknown constants of the strain energy function of Ogden type are observed in accordance with the axial tension test. By using the commercial FEM software for nonlinear analysis, MARC V7.3, the strains and the values of volume change for midsole and outsole are obtained, respectively. As a result, it can be concluded that these values in the midsole and the outsole are different depending on the characteristic of elastomer. More precise investigation about the assembly of two parts, which represent midsole and outsole, is under studying.

The vibration characteristic of tire is heavily related to the noise and comfort on driving. Therefore, in this paper, we investigate modal charateristic of non-pneumatic tires with Honeycomb spokes. The modal analysis of non-pneumatic tire is investigated for geometric of non-pneumatic tire(NPT) which is designed according to the cell angle of honeycomb cell. Investigation of natural frequencies and mode shapes of non-pneumatic tire are compared regular type NPT with auxetic type NPT. The analysis is based on the finite element method and used ABAQUS program which is able to analyze of non-linear. The material of NPT is used for the Ogden energy model which is model of hyperelastic material. As a result, natural frequencies and mode shapes of non-pneumatic tires with honeycomb spokes are affected by the angle of honeycomb cell.

Air springs are prevalently used as suspension in train. However, air springs are seldom used in automobiles where they improve stability and comfort by enhancing the impact-relief, breaking, and cornering performance. Thus, this study proposed a new method to analyze air springs and obtained some reliable design parameter which can be utilized in vehicle suspension system in contrast to conventional method. Among air spring types of suspension, this study focused on sleeve type of air spring as an analysis model since it has potential for ameliorating the quality of automobiles, specifically in its stability and comfort improvement by decreasing the shock through rubber sleeve. As a methodology, this study used MARC, as a nonlinear finite element analysis program, in order to find out maximum stress and maximum strain depending on reinforcement cord's angle variation in sleeves. The properties were found through uniaxial tension and pure shear test, and they were developed using Ogden Foam which is an input program of MARC. As a result, the internal maximum stresses and deformation according to the changes of cord angle are obtained. Also, the results showed that the Young's modulus becomes smaller, then maximum stresses decrease. It is believed that these studies can be contributed in automobile suspension system.

본 논문에서는 미드솔에 에어싸이클 펌프를 장착한 골프화에 대한 해석적 방법과 설계기술을 보여준다. 골프화는 유한요소법으로 모델링 하였으며, 더 나은 설계를 위해서 신발을 구성하는 미드솔과 아웃솔의 형상을 고려하였다. 또한 미드솔에 있는 에어싸이클 펌프의 최적의 크기와 형상을 조사하였다. 표준 인체 압력 값을 유한요소해석의 경계 값으로 채택하였다. 오그덴 타입의 변형률에너지 함수의 미지 상수는 인장시험에 따라서 조사하였다. 비선형해석을 위해서 상용 유한요소해석 프로그램 MARC V7.3을 이용하여 미드솔과 아웃솔의 변형률과 부피 변화 값을 각각 구하였다. 미드솔과 아웃솔 유한요소법에 의해 구해진 값은 탄성체의 특성에 따라서 달리 나타난다. 여기에 보인 결과는 보다 나은 골프화 해석에 사용될 것이다. 더욱이, 결과 간들은 보다 효과적인 방법을 개발하기 위한 방법으로 신발산업체에 사용되어 질 수 있다.
