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.

최근 기둥의 구속효과에 대한 연구가 많이 연구되어지고 있다. 주로 철근 콘크리트 기둥과 CFT(Concrete Filled Tube)기둥과 같이 중실 기둥에 대한 연구로 한정되어 있는 반면 중공 기둥에 대한 구속효과 연구가 매우 미비한 실정이다. 중공 기둥의 외부 구속력에 대한 연구가 주로 연구되고 있고 내부 구속력을 외부 구속력과 동일하게 가정하고 구속 콘크리트의 구속효과를 평가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 중공 CFT 기둥에 내부 튜브를 삽입하여 구속 콘크리트 3축 구속 상태로 놓이게 하여 연성 및 강도를 상승 시킨 내부 구속 중공 CFT 기둥(Internally Confined Hollow CFT, ICH CFT)의 최적 구속메커니즘을 도출하기 위한 연구를 하였다. 내부튜브 두께, 중공비, 기둥의 직경, 콘크리트와 외부튜브의 휨강성비를 매개변수로 삼아 범용 FEM 프로그램으로 비선형 해석 연구를 수행하여 최적 내부 구속력 도출을 통하여 수정 파괴 조건식을 제안하였다. 수정 파괴 조건식은 최적 내부 튜브의 두께를 산정하여 기둥이 경제성을 확보하도록 하였다.

본 연구에서는 케로신-공기 혼합물 데토네이션 계산과 다물질 해석을 기반으로 데토네이션 하중에 의한 얇은 금속관의 열탄소성 거동에 대한 수치계산을 수행하였다. 데토네이션 하중은 케로신-공기 혼합물의 데토네이션을 활용하여 모델링하였으며, 검증을 위해 해석 결과를 C-J 조건과 실험적 셀 직경을 통해 비교 검증하였다. 또한 금속의 탄성/소성 거동을 확인하기 위하여, 소성 거동은 구리의 Taylor impact 문제로, 탄성 거동은 베를리움 평판 떨림 문제를 활용하였다. 온도에 의한 관의 탄소성 거동 변화를 확인하기 위하여 동일한 데토네이션 하중 하에서 초기 온도가 다른 관의 거동을 확인하고 이론식과의 비교를 통해 열연화 효과가 고려되어야 함을 확인하였다.

본 논문은 강-콘크리트 슬립실험으로 결정된 계면 계수값을 휨 하중을 받는 콘크리트 충전강관 합성보 실험의 결과예측에 적용하여 콘크리트 충전강관 합성보의 계면거동과 구속효과를 규명하였다. 원형단면의 콘크리트가 전단면압축을 받도록 하기 위해서 콘크리트 충전강관에 웨브와 플랜지를 추가한 콘크리트 충전강관 합성보를 사용하여 휨 거동실험을 수행하였다. 콘크리트가 전단면 압축을 받는 단부가 개방된 콘크리트 충전합성강관의 경우에는 구속효과에 의해 약 16%의 강도증진효과를 확인하였으며, 단부를 폐쇄하여 구속효과가 커진 콘크리트충전 합성강관의 경우에는 35% 정도의 큰 강도증진효과가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 실험과 수치해석을 통해 얻은 이러한 결과는 콘크리트 충전강관을 이용한 교량의 상부 거더나 아치리브에 대한 단면 결정에 적용되는 적용성을 갖는다.

콘크리트의 구속효과 및 재료 비선형성, 강재의 변형 경화, 초기작용 축력을 고려하여 원형 콘크리트 충전 강관(Concrete Filled Steel Tube : CFT) 기둥의 해석을 위한 프로그램을 작성하고 검증 및 해석을 수행하였다. 축력-모멘트 상관관계 해석, 모멘트-곡률 해석, 모멘트-횡변위에 대한 해석을 수행하고, 선행연구자의 실험결과와 비교하여 검증하였다. 검증결과, 작성된 프로그램은 실제 CFT 기둥의 거동에 근접하였으며, 콘크리트의 구속효과를 고려한 경우 그렇지 않은 경우보다 더 큰 강도와 연성능력을 나타내었다. 콘크리트의 강도와 강관의 두께 변화에 따른 간단한 매개변수 해석을 수행하였으며, 콘크리트의 강도 증가 시 CFT 기둥의 강도는 증가하나 연성은 저하되는 결과를 보여주었다. 반면에 강관 두께를 증가시키는 경우에는, CFT 기둥의 강도와 연성 모두 증가하는 결과를 보여주었다.

During roll forming a sheet metal is continuously and progressively formed into a product of the required cross-section and longitudinal shape. An example product is a circular tube with a required diameter, wall-thickness and straightness. Roll forming occurs by passing the sheet through a series of forming rolls that are arranged in tandem. Each pair of forming rolls in the roll forming line plays a particular role in obtaining the required cross-section and longitudinal shape in the product. In recent years, that process is often applied to car body parts by automotive industries. In the current study, an optimal model design and proper roll-pass sequences as well as the number of forming rolls and bending angles were used to produce a sill side. The effects of the process parameters on the final shape formed by roll forming defects were evaluated.

The major objective of this paper is to evaluate the behavior and ultimate resisting capacity of circular CFT columns. To consider the confinement effect, proper material models with respect to the confinement pressure are selected. A fiber section approach is adopted to simulate the nonlinear stress distribution along the section depth. Material nonlinearity due to the cracking of concrete and the yielding of the surrounding steel tube, as well as geometric nonlinearity due to the P-${\Delta}$ effect, are taken into account. The validity of the proposed numerical analysis model is established by comparing the analytical predictions with the results from previous experimental studies about pure bending and eccentric axial loading. Numerical predictions using an unconfined material model were also compared to investigate the confinement effects on various loading combinations. The ultimate resisting capacities predicted by the proposed numerical model and the design guidelines in Eurocode 4 are compared to evaluate the existing design recommendation.

We studied the mechanical and magnetic properties of Y-Ba-Cu-O superconductor with and without resin and Ag impregnation. Bulk YBCO superconductor was manufactured with the top-seeded melt-growth method. Typical sample of 40mm X 20mm X 3mm was made and then 8 holes with 0.5mm diameter were drilled arbitrally. Epoxy resin and $AgNO_3$ were systematically added into the holes to compare the mechanical and magnetic properties of YBCO superconductor before and after reinforcement of resin and Ag. Based on the result of 3 point bending, bending strength increased with increasing amounts of resin and carbon nano-tube. However, it was found that the levitation force decreased after making hole, compared with virgin sample without hole.

A model has been proposed that can predict the ultimate torsional strength of single-box multi-cell reinforced concrete box girder under combined loading of bending, shear and torsion. Compared with the single-cell box girder, this model takes the influence of inner webs on the distribution of shear flow into account. According to the softening truss theory and thin walled tube theory, a failure criterion is presented and a ultimate torsional strength calculating procedure is established for single-box multi-cell reinforced concrete box girder under combined actions, which considers the effect of tensile stress among the concrete cracks, Mohr stress compatibility and the softened constitutive law of concrete. In this paper the computer program is also compiled to speed up the calculation. The model has been validated by comparing the predicted and experimental members loaded under torsion combined with different ratios of bending and shear. The theoretical torsional strength was in good agreement with the experimental results.

As current and future automobile emission regulations become more stringent, the research on flow distribution for an exhaust manifold and close-coupled catalyst(CCC) has become an interesting and remarkable subjects. The design of a CCC and exhaust manifold is a formidable task due to the complexity of the flow distribution caused by the pulsating flows from piston motion and engine combustion. Transient flow at the exhaust manifold can be analyzed with various computational fluid dynamics(CFD) tools. However, the results of such simulations must be verified with appropriate experimental data from real engine operating condition. In this study, an experimental approach was performed to investigate the flow distribution of exhaust gases for conventional cast types and stainless steel bending types of a four-cylinder engine. The pressure distribution of each exhaust sub-component was measured using a simulated dynamic flow bench and five-hole pitot probe. Moreover, using the results of the pitot tube measurement at the exit of the CCC, the flow distribution for two types of manifolds(cast type and bending type) was compared in terms of flow uniformity. Based on these experimental techniques, this study can be highly applicable to the design and optimization of exhaust for the better use of catalytic converters to meet the PZEV emission regulation.
