Today's automobiles are changing into miniaturization and light weight for saving natural resources and energies. In order to raise the sufficiency of fuel consumption, new mechanism and components are required. Therefore, the expectations on the new materials are very high. Especially, Al materials are widely used to reduce the motors weight. Al using in automobiles is mostly casting material, and the material is developing rapidly in step with technical innovation. Al die casting has become an important field, as we are turning today's motor into light weight. One of the parts in steering system, valve housing, plays a role to reduce the operating effort of drivers. If valve housing being a part of steering system is produced by gravity casting, the space that manufacturing equipments are installed will be increased, and more energies and workers will be needed.

액체 로켓 엔진의 연소기는 높은 온도의 연소가스를 발생시키므로 연소실과 노즐은 열적으로 보호되어야 한다. 고공 엔진의 노즐확장부도 고열에 견딜 수 있게 설계되어야 하며, 이를 위하여 가스냉각, 삭마냉각, 복사냉각등 다양한 방법의 냉각이 적용되고 있다. 특히 큰 노즐 팽창비를 갖는 상단엔진의 경우 무게가 발사체 성능에 미치는 영향이 크므로 경량 내열 소재가 개발되어 사용되어 왔다. 미국과 러시아, 유럽에서 사용되어 온 노즐확장부 재료를 조사한 결과 스테인리스강과 티타늄합금과 같은 무거운 금속 재료에서 경량의 탄소섬유 강화 복합재 또는 세라믹 복합재로 바뀌어 가는 경향이 파악되었다.

The correlation between noise and vibration by a heavy-weight floor impact was studied. The triggering technique was used for increasing the reliability and stability to measure the level of sound pressure, sound intensity and vibration acceleration. The simple finite element and rigid body analysis method were suggested to calculate the natural frequencies of the multi-layer floor system. The result show that the isolation material adapted to reduce the light-weight floor impact noise, causing the natural frequency lower, make resonance with dominant driving frequency, and increase the noise level very sharply. Therefore the noise level Peak in the region of low frequency, below 63Hz, would be related with the natural frequencies of the floor system.

The automotive vehicle is made through the following processes such as press shop, welding shop, paint shop, and general assembly. Among them, the most important process to determine the quality of the car body is the welding process. Generally, more than 400 pressed panels are welded to make BIW (Body In White) by using the RSW (Resistance Spot Welding) and GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding). Recently, as the needs of light-weight material due to the $CO_2$ emission issue and fuel efficiency, new joining technologies for aluminum, CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) and etc. are needed. Aluminum parts are assembled by the spot welding, clinching, and SPR (Self Piercing Rivet) and friction stir welding process. Structural adhesive boning is another main joining method for light-weight materials. For example, one piece aluminum shock absorber housing part is made by die casting process and is assembled with conventional steel part by SPR and adhesive bond. Another way to reduce the amount of the car body weight is to use AHSS (Advanced High Strength Steel) panel including hot stamping boron alloyed steel. As the new materials are introduced to car body joining, productivity and quality have become more critical. Productivity improvement technology and adaptive welding control are essential technology for the future manufacturing environment.

경량 콘크리트는 기포제를 사용하여 건축자재의 경량화와 단열성을 추구하고 있다. 그러나 기포제의 사용은 콘크리트의 체적이 감소되고, 압축강도가 낮아지는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 별도의 기포제를 사용하지 않고 산업 부산물인 폐발포 폴리우레탄을 재활용하여 콘크리트의 경량화와 단열성을 확보하고자 한다. 그리고 콘크리트의 시공성과 재료분리를 방지하기 위해 소량의 혼화재를 사용한다. 이러한 혼화재의 혼입률이 폐발포 폴리우레탄이 혼입된 경량 콘크리트의 물성에 미치는 영향을 확인하고자 한다. 실험 결과, 두 개 회사의 혼화재 중에서 폐발포 폴리우레탄이 고르게 분산되는 것을 사용하였다. 혼화재의 혼입률을 다르게하여 배합한 결과는 혼화재의 혼입이 많을수록 콘크리트의 유동성이 감소된 반면, 콘크리트의 함수율과 압축강도는 소폭 증가하였다. 또한, 난연성능과 차음성능을 확보할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Energy savings can be achieved with optimum energy consumptions, brake energy regeneration, efficient energy storage (onboard, line side), and primarily with light weight vehicles. Over the last few years, the rolling stock industry has experienced a marked increase in eco-awareness and needs for lower life cycle energy consumption costs. For rolling stock vehicle designers and engineers, weight has always been a critical design parameter. It is often specified directly or indirectly as contractual requirements. These requirements are usually expressed in terms of specified axle load limits, braking deceleration levels and/or demands for optimum energy consumptions. The contractual requirements for lower weights are becoming increasingly more stringent. Light weight vehicles with optimized strength to weight ratios are achievable through proven design processes. The primary driving processes consist of: $\bullet$ material selection to best contribute to the intended functionality and performance $\bullet$ design and design optimization to secure the intended functionality and performance $\bullet$ weight control processes to deliver the intended functionality and performance Aluminium has become the material of choice for modern light weight bodyshells. Steel sub-structures and in particular high strength steels are also used where high strength - high elongation characteristics out way the use of aluminium. With the improved characteristics and responses of composites against tire and smoke, small and large composite materials made components are also found in greater quantities in today's railway vehicles. Full scale hybrid composite rolling stock vehicles are being developed and tested. While an "overdesigned" bodyshell may be deemed as acceptable from a structural point of view, it can, in reality, be a weight saving missed opportunity. The conventional pass/fail structural criteria and existing passenger payload definitions promote conservative designs but they do not necessarily imply optimum lightweight designs. The weight to strength design optimization should be a fundamental design driving factor rather than a feeble post design activity. It should be more than a belated attempt to mitigate against contractual weight penalties. The weight control process must be rigorous, responsible, with achievable goals and above all must be integral to the design process. It should not be a mere tabulation of weights for the sole-purpose of predicting the axle loads and wheel balances compliance. The present paper explores and discusses the topics quoted above with a view to strengthen the recommendations and needs for the weight optimization by design approach as a pro-active design activity for the rolling stock industry at large.

Applications of composite materials in various engineering fields have been extended significantly. For being useful composite materials, we could modify the rigidity and strength characteristics of composite material according to structures and material direction. In this study, CFRP, which has been widely used in space leisure and general structural applications due to the weight, elasticity coefficient, high fatigue strength and lower thermal transformation ect, was selected. As the CFRP is an anisotropic material whose mechanical properties change with its stacking sequence or angle, special attention was given to the effects of the fiber orientation angle on the bending characteristics of CFRP fiat and CFEP square members. It's different on the each result of strength and rigidity of CFRP flat and CFRP square members.

In various manufacturing industries including automotive industries, the use of lightweight materials is rapidly increasing. In the use of lightweight materials, it is obvious that enhancing their mechanical or material properties without significant weight increase is extremely beneficial. One method to enhance material properties of a lightweight material while maintaining its light weight is fabricating metal matrix composites (MMC) by adding reinforcements to the material. In the present study, recent trends in the manufacture of MMC by friction stir processing are briefly reviewed.

Al-alloy is utilized widely as a light-weight material to an automobile, a vessel and many kind of equipment, due to the light-weight and its characteristics that is a good tensile strength, elongation and tenacity for bearing heavy load and weight. Al-alloy has the good property of hot working, cold working and corrosion-resistant. But the exiting fusion welding by using Al has some economical and technical problems, but on the other hand, Friction Stir Welding (FSW) that is new joining method can settle the disadvantages that occur to the fusion welding and Is being applied and extended into the various industry fields. On this study, To analyze accurately the mechanical properties of joining area by FSW in Al 6061 alloy by using finite analysis program with finite element method. The size of HAZ and the thermal distribution is simulated and the mechanical properties around the FSW joining area to the Al-alloy 6061 is examined.
