본 연구에서는 현재 자동차구조에 사용되고 있는 점용접 보강 리어사이드 프레임, 비보강 리어사이드 프레임 및 레이저 용접을 이용한 이종두께 리어사이드 프레임의 응력, 좌굴 및 진동해석이 수행되었다. 응력 및 진동해석의 경계조건은 양단고정이며, 좌굴해석시에는 단순지지 경계조건을 사용하였다. 구조해석에는 ANSYS 5.0 Code를 사용하였다. 점용접된 리어사이드 프레임의 최대응력은 메인프레임에서 발생하였으며, 그값은 80.9MPa이다. 이때의 최대변형률은 501.mu.이다. 이종두께 레이저 용접된 리어사이드 프레임은 두께가 1.8mm일 때 점용접 보강 리어사이드 프레임의 최대응력과 같아진다. 따라서 동일등가 응력을 기준으로 할 때 레이저 용접을 이용하면 중량을 17.2% 줄일 수 있다. 양단 단순지지된 보강 점용접 리어사이드 프레임의 좌굴하중은 52.54kN이다. 이때 동일한 좌굴하중을 갖는 이종두께 레이저 프레임의 두께는 1.9mm이다. 따라서 중량을 15% 감소시킬 수 있다. 보강된 점용접 리어사이드 프레임의 고유진동수는 163.6Hz로 굽힘모드이며, 이종두께 레이저 용접 리어사이드 프레임의 고유진동수는 179.8Hz이다.

It is well known that the targeted fuel efficiency could only be achieved by more than 40% reduction of the vehicle weight through improved design and extensive utilization of lightweight materials. In order to obtain the goal of the weight reduction of automobiles, the researches about lighter and stronger rear sub-frame have been studied without sacrificing the safety of rear sub-frame. In this study, the weight reduction design process of rear sub-frame could be proposed based on the variation of von-Mises stress contour by substituting an AA6061 (aluminum 6061 alloy) having tensile strength of 310 MPa grade instead of SAPH440 steels. In addition, the stress ratio variations (stress over fatigue limit) of the rear sub-frame were examined and compared carefully. It could be reached that this approach method could be well established and be contributed for light-weight design guide and the optimum design conditions of the automotive rear sub-frame development.

In this paper, a 3-D computer-aided die design process was developed for automobile rear frame with drawing, trimming, flanging, cam-piercing and piercing for tool design. The tool design has been done using Pro/Engineer on a personal computer. It is composed of four stations. The goal of this research is to apply each of stations for the standard tool specification to each station.

Springback after drawing and trimming is regarded as one of the most influential factors during forming structural frames since the part dimensions have dominant effect on assembly quality at later stages. In this study, analytical results were obtained from a commercial FEM package for an outer rear frame of an automobile. In terms of springback and twist the effect of forming process is compared and discussed between open and closed-ends forming

Firstly, FEM model for the body frame of a fuel cell vehicle was built up and design optimization results based on different schemes were exhibited. One scheme was to minimize weight while maintaining the normal mode frequencies and the other was to increase the frequencies without weight change. Next, for a rear frame model, shape parameter study on collapse characteristics such as peak resistance load and absorbed energy was carried out. Also, the stiffness of frame mounting brackets was predicted using inertance calculation and the durability of those mounting brackets for vehicle system loads was evaluated. Finally, for a representative mounting model, the influence on durability due to thickness change was analyzed.

The hydroforming technology has been spreaded dramatically in automotive industry last 10 years. Itmay cause many advantages to automotive applications in terms of better structural integrity of the parts, lower cost from fewer part count, material saving, weight reduction, lower springback, improved strength and durability and design flexibility. In this study, the whole process of rear sub-frame parts development by tube hydroforming using steel material having tensile strength of 440MPa grade is presented. At the part design stage, it requires feasibility study and process design aided by CAE (Computer Aided Design) to confirm hydroformability in details. Effects of parameters such as internal pressure, axial feeding and geometry shape in automotive rear sub-frame by hydroforming process were carefully investigated. Overall possibility of hydroformable sub-frame parts could be examined by cross sectional analyses. Moreover, it is essential to ensure the formability of tube material on every forming step such as pre-bending, preforming and hydroforming. In addition, all the components of prototyping tool are designed and interference with press is examined from the point of geometry and thinning.

The neck injury occupies the most of injury that happened by the rear impact car accident. This study was analyzed about influence of the neck injury in low speed rear impact and car crash accident investigation. There is no neck injury in low speed side rear impact. On the other hand, there is initial neck injury symptom of 10 % but no long-term neck injury symptom in low speed offset rear impact. It appeared that the possibility of neck injury in low speed rear impact is low. For the more study about the neck injury, it should be evaluate the effects of the car body structure, frame structure and rear crash pattern.

Springback after forming is the critical factor affecting the product quality. It is very difficult to predict the amount of springback not only because of complex geometry and material characteristics of the stamping product but because the methodology has not been established. In this study springback mechanism is introduced and experimental tryout and computer simulation are carried out for die design of automotive rear side frame. Futher springback was verified by comparing the result of computer simulation with the measured tryout result.

This paper introduces a link-type tracked vehicle which is developed for demining operations. The vehicle consists of three parts - front frame, rear frame and body. The front frame is connected to the rear frame by a rotational passive adaptation mechanism which is a driving mechanism of the vehicle. Additionally, the demining system which is adaptable to mobile robot is developed to clear small Anti-Personnel(AP) mines with inexplosive method. In other words, assembled rakes unearth mines by their opposite rotation to the direction of the robot. Finally, the motions of demining rakes and design parameters of the demining system are analyzed.
