The purpose of this study is to develop a process for forming a MPa ultra-high strength steel sheet to reduce weight and improve product strength. To do this, we performed the initial process design based on empirical formulas in a handbook and experience of skilled engineers, and researched the effects of major process variables on spring back by analyzing the forming analysis and experimental results. This paper suggests an optimal process design of the seat rail lower parts, using a MPa ultra-high strength steel sheet. This satisfies the dimensional accuracy and strength requirements for the product.

Sensitivity analysis and structural modification technique are used to reduce the interior noise of a passenger car. The sensitivity analysis for the noise level at the rear seat shows that the stiffness change at the front lower member and the rear roof rail are sensitive. Using the structural modification method, we verified that the reinforcements at those members decrease the noise transfer function from the body to the rear seat. The combined application of the sensitivity analysis and structural modification method can decrease the noise level effectively.
