A polymeric adhesion promoter was synthesized to improve the adhesive strength of the Ni lead frame/epoxy composite. Poly(itaconic acid-co-acrylamide) (IAcAAM) was prepared by copolymerizing itaconic acid and acrylamide. We compared the adhesive strength between the Ni lead frame and epoxy composite according to the molecular weight of IAcAAM. The molecular weight of IAcAAM was controlled using an initiator, which made it possible to use IAcAAM in the epoxy molding compound (EMC) manufacturing process by modulating the melting temperature. The adhesive strength of Ni lead frame/epoxy composite increased with the addition of IAcAAM to the epoxy composite. In addition, as the molecular weight of IAcAAM increased, the adhesive strength of the Ni lead frame/epoxy composite slightly increased. We confirmed that IAcAAM with an appropriate molecular weight can be used in the EMC manufacturing process and increase the adhesive strength of the Ni lead frame/epoxy composite.

In this paper, in order to analyze dynamic characteristics of an automobile steering system consisting of many components, natural frequencies and transfer functions of each component and the total system are found on a FFT analyzer by experiments. Then, the data are transmitted to a commercial package program, CADA-PC. By analyzing the data, the mode shape of each natural frequency and damping values are obtained. Also, the function of a rubber coupling in column and telescoping effects on system are considered. C.A.E commercial programs are used to compare with the results of experiments. For the finite element modeling, I-DEAS is used. Data processing and post processing are operated on NASTRAN and XL, respectively. The ball-bearing and the linkage of shaft with column are modeled by spring element. Stiffness is modified from the results of experiments. The results of those show close agreement. In the mode shape of total system, wheel mode is dominant at lower frequency, while the column mode is main mode at higher. The role of rubber coupling in vibration isolation is clear on mode shape. Telescoping function makes natural frequency of column changed.

The characteristics of all polymer composites containing carbon materials are determined by four factors: component properties, composition, structure and interfacial interactions. The most important filler characteristics are particle size, size distribution, specific surface area and particle shape. As a consequence, in this paper we discuss the aspects of the mechanical, electrical and thermal properties of composites with different fillers of carbon black, carbon nanotube (CNT), graphene and graphite and focus on the relationship between factors and properties, as mentioned above. Accordingly, we fabricate rubber composites that contain various carbon materials in carbon black-based and silica based-SBR matrixes with dual phase fillers and use scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, a rhometer, an Instron tensile machine, and a thermal conductivity analyzer to evaluate composites' mechanical, fatigue, thermal, and electronic properties. In mechanical properties, hardness and 300%-modulus of graphene-composite are sharply increased in all cases due to the larger specific surface. Also, it has been found that the thermal conductivity of the CNT-composite is higher than that of any of the other composites and that the composite with graphene has the best electrical properties.

화학적 표면처리에 따른 카본블랙의 표면 관능기와 표면 자유에너지를 FT-IR과 접촉각 측정법을 이용하여 각각 관찰하였다. 산성과 염기성 용액으로 표면 처리한 카본블랙을 분석한 결과, 표면 관능기가 표면 자유에너지의 극성요소에 크게 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 반면에 무극성 용액으로 표면처리한 NCB와 염기성 용액으로 처리한 BCB의 경우 표면 자유에너지의 London 비극성 요소의 증가를 보이며 이에 따라 카본블랙/고무 복합재료의 경도, 파단신율, 그리고 인장강도와 같은 기계적 물성이 증가하는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 특히, 접촉각 측정을 통해 얻은 표면 자유에너지의 London 비극성 요소가 복합재료의 인장강도와 상관관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 카본블랙의 London 비극성 요소가 카본블랙/고무 복합재료의 기본적인 기계적 물성에 크게 기여한다고 사료된다.

In this study, vibration analysis of a refrigerator was carried out to reduce vibration by considering grommet. When the refrigerator machine room is modeled by finite element method, spring elements are added to constructions of the FEmodel for each component and update. To design the grommet of refrigerator, FEmodel must have vibration characteristics of each components such as baseplate, pipe and compressor it self. The modal analyses are conducted to validate suggested approach when the components of machine room are assembled together. And, in this study, optimal design of grommet is conducted to avoid the resonance at the operating frequency of refrigerator. The experimental and FEM result of suggested design showed good agreement and are presented here.

Finite Element Method for 3-D static loaded passenger car tire on the rigid surface is performed for studying the stiffness of tire to compare with experimental data. The tire elements used for FEM are defined each component to allow an easy change for the design parameters. Also, a hyperelastic material which is composed of tread and sidewall has been used to consider a large deformation of rubber components. The orthotropic characters of rubber-cord composite materials are used as well. The air pressure, a vertical and a lateral load are applied step by step and iterated by Modified Newton method for geometric and boundary condition nonlinear simulation. This study shows nonlinear analysis method for tire and the bearing capacity of tire due to the external force.

The power steering hose is a kind of high-pressure hose with reinforced braids in rubber material. It is usually manufactured through the swaging process. In this paper, the deformation characteristics of a power steering hose during the swaging process were analyzed using the nonlinear finite element method. The material properties were obtained on experiments, and the contact conditions were used in consideration of real manufacturing process. Investigations were focused on the stress and strain values of the hose and meta] components at the maximum jaw stroke and at the completion of the process. Especially, the results of inner rubber component were interpreted in detail, because of its important role in the hose efficiency.

Elasto-forming has been dedicated to specific and limited production. Today, using enhanced pad materials, it has become an efficient and economical process alternative for low and medium volume metal-forming production. The non-linear properties of elastomer which are described as strain energy function are important parameter to design and evaluate of elastomer component. These are determined by material tests which are uni-axial tension and bi-axial tension. In order to investigate the design paramerer, Finite element analysis was carried out for elasto-forming process.

A bushing component of a vehicle suspension system is tested to capture the nonlinear behavior of rubber bushing element using the MTS 3-axes rubber test machine. The results of the tests are used to model the artificial neural network bushing model. The performances from the neural network model usually are dependent on the structure of the neural network. In this paper, maximum error, peak error, root mean square error, and error-to-signal ratio are employed to evaluate the performances of the neural network bushing model. A simple simulation is carried out to show the usefulness of the developed procedure.

Laminated rubber bearings are widely used as a key component in seismic isolation of structural systems subjected to earthquake loadings. The combination of rubber layers and reinforcing steel shims makes the bearings conditionally unstable similar to buckling of ordinary columns. The shear flexibility of these short columns can lead to relatively low buckling Toads which may be further reduced when high shear strains are simultaneously imposed As an analytical approach, the area reduction formula has been proposed to account for the reduction in buckling load due to shear, but the degree of conservatism is unknown. In order to complement analytical approaches, a non-linear finite element analysis can be used. In this paper, a numerical study which aims at determining the effect of high shear strain on the critical load of elastomeric bearings is presented. From the load-displacement curve at each specified shear displacement, the buckling load can be obtained using the Southwell procedures. The results obtained are then compared against the theoretical predictions in order to examine the validity and the conservatism of the theoretical formulas.
