Abstract

For the tactical vehicles operated by the Korean army, the hub-reduction portal axle was applied considering Korea's topographical characteristics. Hub-reduction was applied to a Korean military vehicle to increase the vehicle body to secure ground clearance and improve the driving capability on rough roads, such as unpaved and field land by increasing the torque. The Korean military is operating tactical vehicles after various performance tests, including durability driving, but wheel damage occurred in one of the vehicles operating in the front units. Failure analysis revealed many damaged parts, including the hub, making it difficult to determine the cause. Therefore, an analysis of the failure occurrence mechanism for each damaged part was conducted, which confirmed that the cause of wheel breakage was a hub. Furthermore, the root cause of the hub breakage was a crack due to internal pores and foreign matters. In addition, a realistic improvement plan that can be applied throughout the design, manufacture, and shipping stages was presented using the fishbone diagram analysis. The derived improvement plan was verified through unit performance tests, including CAE and actual vehicle tests, and by reflecting this, the driving safety of Korean tactical vehicles was improved. Finally, it is expected that the proposed method for analyzing the failure occurrence mechanism will be used as reference material when analyzing the quality problems of similar military vehicles in the future.

우리 군에서 운용되는 전술차량은 한국의 지형적 특성을 고려하여 허브리덕션 포탈차축이 적용되었다. 허브리덕션은 전술차량의 차체를 높여 차량의 지상고를 확보하고 토크 증대를 통해 비포장, 야지 등 험로에서의 운용능력 향상을 목적으로 개발되었다. 전술차량은 내구도 주행을 포함한 다양한 성능시험을 거쳐 전력화 되었으나 일부 전방부대 운용차량에서 바퀴 파손 문제가 발생되었다. 바퀴 이탈은 운전자의 안전과 생명에 관련된 품질문제로 명확한 원인분석이 수행되어야 한다. 현장방문을 통한 고품분석 결과 허브를 포함한 손상 부품이 많아 조속한 원인규명이 곤란하였다. 이에 손상 부품별 고장발생 메커니즘 분석을 수행하여 문제발생이 허브에서 시작되었음을 규명하였다. 또한 파손의 근본원인이 허브 내부 이물 및 기공에 의한 균열임을 최종 확인하였다. 이를 바탕으로 특성요인도 분석기법을 활용하여 설계 및 제조, 출하단계에 걸친 품질개선안을 도출하였다. 제안된 개선안은 내구해석을 포함한 단품 성능시험 및 실차 내구도 주행시험을 통해 효과성을 검증하고 이를 반영함으로써 한국형 전술차량의 주행 안전성을 확보하였다. 끝으로 본 논문에서 제시한 고장발생 메커니즘 분석기법이 향후 군용차량을 포함한 유사 장비 품질문제 분석에 활용되기를 기대한다.
