The impact beam, a beam-shaped reinforcement installed horizontally between the inside and outside panels of car doors, is gaining importance as a solution to meet the regulations on side collision of vehicles. In order to minimize pelvis injury which is the biggest injury happening to the driver and passengers when a vehicle is subject to side collision, energy absorption at the door impact beam should be maximized. For the inner panel, the thrust into the inside of the vehicle must be minimized. The impact beam should be as light as possible so that the extent of pelvis injury to the driver and passenger during side collision of the vehicle is minimal. To achieve this, the weight of the impact beam, has to be optimized. In this study, we perform a design analysis with a goal to reduce the weight of the current impact design by 30% while ensuring stability, reliability, and comparison data of the impact beam for mass production. We conduct three-point bending stress experiments on conventional impact beams and analyze the results. In addition, we use a side-door collision test apparatus to test the performance of beams made of three (different materials: steel, aluminum, and composite beams).

Mass estimation analysis of loose-parts in pressure vessel is necessary for the structural integrity assessment of pressure boundary in nuclear power plants. Mass of loose-parts can be generally estimated from the peak values and the center frequency of impact signals. Magnitude of impact signals is, however, inevitably attenuated according to the traveling distance of the signals and depending on the frequencies. Attenuation rate must be therefore carefully compensated for the precise estimation of loose-part mass. This paper proposes a new compensation method for the attenuation rate based on Bessel function instead of Hankel function in conventional method which has a limitation of usage in near the impact location. It was verified that the suggested compensating equation based on the Bessel function can be applied to the attenuation rate calculation without any limitation.

In comparison to metal alloys, braided composite features a high impact resistance and crash energy absorption potential, and also it still remained competitive stiffness and strength properties. Braiding angle is one of the most important parameters which affect the mechanical behaviors of braided composite. This paper presents transverse low velocity impact failure behavior analysis on the carbon 3D triaxial braided composite tube with the braiding angle of $20^{\circ}$, $50^{\circ}$ and $80^{\circ}$. The flexural behaviour of 3D triaxial braided composite tube under bending loads was studied by conducting quasistatic three point bending test. Also, the low velocity impact responses of the braided composite tubes were also tested to obtain load-displacement curves and energy absorption. Consequently, the increase of the braided angle, the peak load also increases owing to the bigger bending stiffness.

Impact behaviors of Aluminum Honeycombs Sandwich Panel(AHSP) by drop weight test were investigated. Two types of specimens with 1/2" and 1/4" cell size were tested by two impactors which are weight of $5.25\textrm{kg}_{\textrm{f}}$ and $11.9\textrm{kg}_{\textrm{f}}$. Parametric studies were achieved including the impactor weight and impact sites which consist face, long-edge, short-edge, and point of the specimen. Face one of impact sites was the strongest and short-edge one of impact sites was the weakest. The damaged area of AHSP was enlarged with the increase of impactor weight that is equal to impact energy. After 3 point bending test, fracture modes of AHSP were analyzed with AE counts. Lower facesheet was fractured in the long-edge direction and then separated between facesheet and core. In the short-edge direction after core wrinkled, lower facesheet tear occurred. Impact behavior by FE analysis were increased localized damage in fast velocity because the faster velocity of the impact was, the smaller the stress of core was. Consequently, impactor weight had an effect on widely damaged area, while the impact velocity was caused on the localized damaged area.aged area.

The interfacial bond strength of partially encased composite (PEC) structure tends to 0, therefore, the cast-in-place concrete theoretically cannot embody better composite effect than the fabricated structure. A total of 12 specimens were designed and experimented to investigate the energy dissipation and damage of fabricated PEC beam through unidirectional cyclic loading test. Because the concrete on both sides of the web was relatively independent, some specimens showed obvious asymmetric concrete damage, which led to specimens bearing torsion effect at the later stage of loading. Based on the concept of the ideal elastoplastic model of uniaxial tensile steel and the principle of equivalent energy dissipation, the energy dissipation ductility coefficient is proposed, which can simultaneously reflect the deformability and bearing capacity. In view of the whole deformation of the beam, the calculation formula of energy dissipation is put forward, and the energy dissipation and its proportion of shear-bending region and pure bending region are calculated respectively. The energy dissipation efficiency of the pure bending region is significantly higher than that of the shear-bending region. The setting of the screw arbors is conducive to improving the energy dissipation capacity of the specimens. Under the condition of setting the screw arbors and meeting the reasonable shear span ratio, reducing the concrete pouring thickness can lighten the deadweight of the component and improve the comprehensive benefit, and will not have an adverse impact on the energy dissipation capacity of the beam. A damage model is proposed to quantify the damage changes of PEC beams under cyclic load, which can accurately reflect the load damage and deformation damage.

The compressive tests under impact conditions were performed to establish a design guide for impact damage tolerance. The composition of layup was selected for the real cases of composite aircraft structure. The energy level of visible of visible damage threshold was determined as 7 Joules. It was found that the normalized bending stiffnesses in the direction of closely fixed boundary affected the area of damage. Graphite/epoxy used in the tests exhibited 60% reduction in compression strength at the energy level of visible damage threshold. Wet-conditioned specimens represented 9% reduction in residual compressive strength in comparison with room temperature ambient specimens. In this study, a design factor of 2.1 was proposed for the low velocity impact damage.

The homogenization method is applied to maximize crash energy absorption for a given volume. Optimization analysis off closed-hat type example problem is conducted with different impact velocities and thicknesses. The results show that the bending-type deformation for the original design is changed to the folding-type deformation for a new design with a hole, which is partly due to the increase of the crash energy absorption for the new design. Dynamic mean crushing loads of the original and new design are compared with those by the theoretical equation by Wierzbicki. It shows that the dynamic mean crushing loads of new designs are very close to those by Wierzbicki's equation.

본 연구에서는 산불 피해 소나무재의 이용을 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 역학적 및 건조 특성을 조사하였다. 산불피해재는 종압축 특성, 전단강도, 충격휨흡수에너지 등에서 건전재와 거의 유사한 결과를 보여주었으며, 산불피해재 변재부의 휨특성은 건전재보다 양호하게 나타났다. 건전재와 산불피해재 변재부의 생재함수율은 산불피해재가 다소 낮았으나, 건조속도는 거의 차이가 없었다. 건조시 발생되는 초기할렬은 건전재가 산불피해재보다 발생율이 높았고, 내부할렬은 건전재와 산불피해재에서 발생되지 않았다. 따라서 산불에 의해 피해를 입은 목재의 대부분은 수피부를 제거하여 이용할 경우 건전재와 거의 동일한 용도로서 사용이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

S-2유리섬유직물과 폴리에스터 수지로 구성된 적충복합재료를 케블라 49 Thread로 1/2인치, 1인치 2인치 간격으로 스티칭하여 스티칭 간격에 따른 물성과 충격 강도의 변화로부터 최적스티칭 조건을 구하였으며 또한 스티칭하지 않은 적층복합재료와의 물성차를 비교연구하였다. 인장실험과 3점굽힘실험을 통해 시편의 종류별 기본 물성을 알아보았고, 234.7J의 충격에너지를 가해 시편의 파단 현상과 에너지 흡수 능력을 조사하였다. 파단에너지의 약 50% 정도인 110.2J의 충격에너지로 3회 반복실험하여 시편의 손상정도와 충격강도를 비교 검토하였다. 인장실험과 굽힘 실험의 결과 1인치 간격으로 스티칭한 시편이 가장 높은 강도를 보였으며, 충격실험에서도 가장 뛰어난 에너지 흡수능력 및 손상에 대한 저항을 보였다. 반복충격 실험의 결과 스티칭하지 않은 시편은 현저한 충격강도의 감소를 보인 반면 스티칭한 시편은 반복충격에도 에너지 흡수능력이 우수하게 유지되었다. C-scanning으로 손상부위를 관찰한 결과 스티칭으로 인해 손상영역의 확산이 억제되어 현저히 감소함을 보여주었다. 스티칭 간격이 너무 조밀한 경우 강도의 향상보다는 스티칭으로 인한 손상이 더 커져서 1/2인치 간격으로 스티팅한 시편의 경우는 인장강력이나 충격에너지 흡수가 스티칭하지 않은 시편에 비해 오히려 감소하는 결과를 나타내었다. 그러나 이러한 감소에도 불구하고 외부충격에 의한 손상영역의 확산은 효과적으로 억제되어 국부적인 손상만이 발생함을 알 수 있었다.
