This paper presents the materials analysis for combination of working modes of Magnetorheological (MR) damper. The materials were selected based on the optimum magnetic field strength at the effective areas in order to obtain a better design of MR damper. The design of electromagnetic circuit is one of the critical criteria in designing MR dampers besides the working mechanism and the types of MR damper. The increase in the magnetic field strength is an indication of the improvement in the damping performance of the MR damper. Eventually, the experimental test was performed under quasi-static loading to observe the performances of MR damper in shear mode, squeeze mode and mixed mode. The results showed that the increment of forces was obtained with the increased current due to higher magnetic flux density generated by electromagnetic coils. In general, it can be summarized that the combination of modes generates higher forces than single mode for the same experimental parameters throughout the study.

GPS, which has been opened to the public since the 1980's, uses the C/A code time of arrival to estimate the position, and measures the carrier doppler frequency to estimate the velocity. In development from the 1990's, DGPS has improved position accuracy by eliminating common errors and CDGPS has achieved cm-level position accuracy using carrier phase. In this paper, a modified LSAST ambiguity resolution method for CDGPS is proposed to improve reliability and computational efficiency. Also the test results of cm level relative positioning of a moving vehicle using single frequency GPS receivers are compared to INS position. This research result can be widely used for the development of high precision INS, unmanned autonomous driving, survey and mapping, etc.

Injection molding product is commonly used for reducing the weight of automotive vehicle, and door regulator guide rail with plastic material is also made by injection molding process. In order to improve the injection molding performance of plastic regulator guide rail, optimal molding condition is suggested by numerical simulation and DOE after obtaining the sensitivity of parameters for regulator rail manufacturing on warpage and fill time. Furthermore, multi direct gate method and optimal cooling circuit are introduced to get the uniform temperature distribution and better cooling efficiency in molding product. The effect of the proposed design on the injection molding performance is verified by the test of prototype of plastic regulator guide rail.

A theoretical model for the calculation of chemical equilibrium composition of propellant combustion product is briefly presented for the performance analysis of monopropellant hydrazine rocket engine. Analysis result is compared to that of test and evaluation of 1-lbf class thruster and is scrutinized primarily from the view point of ammonia dissociation fraction. Chemical equilibrium composition and average molecular weight is additionally depicted according to the variation of propellant inlet pressures and the varying nozzle area ratio. The theoretical analysis is tried as a way of derivation of design parameters for mid- and large-thrust class of monopropellant rocket engines.

In this study, the used DOCs, which could remove the air pollutants such as CO and HC in the exhaust gas from diesel vehicle, were remanufactured by various conditions. Their catalytic performances and characterization were also investigated. The remanufacturing process of the deactivated DOCs includes high temperature cleaning of incineration, ultrasonic cleaning for washing with acid/base solutions to remove deactivating materials deposited to the surface of the catalysts, and active component reimpregnation for reactivating catalytic activity of them. The catalytic performance tests of the remanufactured DOCs were carried out by the diesel engine dynamo systems and chassi dynamo systems in CVS-75 mode. All prepared catalysts were characterized by the optical microscopes, SEM, EDX, porosimeter and BET to investigate correlations between catalytic reactivity and surface characteristics of them. The remanufactured DOCs at various conditions showed the improved catalytic performances reaching to 90% of fresh DOC, which is attributed to remove the deactivating materials from the surface of the used DOC through the analysis of catalytic performance test and their characterization.

As the world's industrial development quickens, the highways and regional expressways have been expanding to serve the logistics and transportation needs of people. The burgeoning road construction has led to a growing interest in roadside installations. These must have reliable performance over long periods, reduced maintenance and high durability. Steel roadside barriers are prone to corrosion and other compromises to their functionality. Therefore, using high anti-corrosion steel material is now seen as a viable solution to this problem. Thus, the objective of this paper is to expand the scope of applications for high anti-corrosion steel material for roadside barriers. This paper assesses the impact safety such as structural performance, occupant protection performance and post-impact vehicular response performance by a simulation review on roadside barriers built with high strength anti-corrosion steel materials named as hot-dip zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy-coated steel. The simulation test results for the roadside barriers built with high strength anti-corrosion steels with reduced sectional thickness meet the safety evaluation criteria, hence the proposed roadside barrier made by high strength and high anti-corrosion hot-dip zinc-aluminium-magnesium alloy-coated steel will be a good solution to serve safe impact performance as well as save maintenance cost.

The diameter of a new wheel in EMUs is 860mm and it can be used up to 773mm. To obtain an predefined acceleration despite wheel diameter changes, the tractive efforts of the vehicles must be properly controlled. In the commencement of this study, acceleration tests were performed for empty EMUs when the wheel diameter was changed to 860mm, 820mm and 780mm, respectively. In order to deal with more complicated running conditions, we developed dynamic simulation models of the EMUs using VI-Rail, and simulated the models in empty and full passenger loads, respectively. Using the simulation results, we analyzed the gradient of time-velocity graphs by considering the changes of the total weight vehicles and moment of inertia of the wheelsets as well as tractive effort according to the wheel diameter changes. As the results, it was found that there are significant differences in acceleration performances according to the wheel diameters and the payloads of EMUs. In case of 860mm which is the maximum wheel diameter, the test & simulation results show that the vehicle couldn't reach the predefined acceleration, 3.0km/h/s, due to lack of tractive effort.

With the development of Cyber-Physical Systems(CPS), several technologies such as automation control, automotive and intelligent house systems have been developed. To enable communication among various components of such systems, several wired and wireless communication protocols are used. The Controller Area Network(CAN) is one of such wired communication protocols that is popularly used for communication in automobiles and other machinery in the industry. In this paper, we designed and implemented a response time analysis system for CAN communication. The reliable data transfer among various electronic components in a significant time is crucial for the smooth operation of an electric vehicle. Therefore, this system is designed to conveniently analyze the response time of various electronic components of a CAN enabled system. The priority for transmission of the messages in the CAN bus is determined by the message identifier. As the number of nodes increases the transmission of low priority messages is delayed due to the existence of higher priority messages on the bus. We used Raspberry Pi3 and PiCAN2 board to simulate the data transfer for studying the comparative delay in low priority nodes.

This paper focus on lane recognition performance test using a road lane constraint with transport infrastructure information. The constraint is determined through the relation of the drive direction and vehicle position. The road lane constraint sets large limit for first and last lane. To analyze the performance of the proposed method, simulations are carried out. The results show that the lane recognition performance using a constraint is improved 40% at four-lane, 25% at six-lane, 15% at eight-lane.
