Abstract

Research was conducted on a PA material-based composite material manufacturing method for application to engine mount brackets. Engine mount brackets must have heat resistance, impact resistance, and damping performance. PA66 resin was used as the base material for the composite material. The glass fiber was used as the reinforcement material. The composite material was manufactured using the injection molding method. The thermal, mechanical, and morphological characteristics were analyzed depending on the content of glass fiber. 3D model was created using the property evaluation database of composite materials(input data). The damping performance of the generated 3D model was extracted as out-put data. The reason for evaluating the characteristics of PA-based composite materials and conducting simulations on the damping performance of 3D models of engine brackets is because product performance can be predicted without manufacturing actual automobile parts and conducting damping performance tests. As a result of the damping simulation, damping performance tended to increase proportionally as the mass fraction of the reinforcement increased. But above a certain level, it no longer increased and slightly decreased. As a result of comparing the actual experimental values a nd the simulated values, the approximate value was within ±5%.

내열성 및 내충격성, 진동 감쇠 성능이 필수인 엔진마운트 브라켓(engine mount braket)에 적용하기 위한 PA소재 기반 복합재료 제조 방법에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 복합재료의 기지재로 PA66 수지를 활용하였고, 강화재로 유리섬유를 활용하였다. 복합재료는 injection molding 방법으로 제조하였으며, 보강재인 유리섬유 함량에 따라 열적 특성과 기계적 특성, 형태학적 특성 분석을 진행하였다. 이때, 복합재료의 특성 평가 데이터베이스를 in-put 데이터로 활용하여 3D 모델을 생성하였다. 생성된 3D모델의 진동 감쇠 성능(vibration damping)을 out-put 데이터로 추출하였다. PA기반 복합재료의 특성평가 및 엔진브라켓 형태 3D모델의 진동 감쇠 성능에 대한 시뮬레이션을 진행하는 이유는 실제 자동차 부품을 제조하여 진동 감쇠 성능 시험을 진행하지 않아도 제품의 성능을 예측할 수 있기 때문에, 우수한 제품을 개발하기 위한 개발 비용이 감소할 수 있다. 실제로 시험을 진행하지 않고도 제품 성능을 예측할 수 있기 때문에, 제품 개발에 필요한 시간도 절감할 수 있을 것이라 예상된다. 진동 감쇠 성능 시뮬레이션 결과, 강화재의 질량분율이 높아질수록 진동감쇠 성능이 비례하여 증가하는 경향을 나타내지만, 어느 수준 이상에서는 더 이상 증가하지않고, 소폭 감소하는 결과를 나타내었다. 실제 실험값과 시뮬레이션 값과의 비교 결과, ±5% 이내의 근사치를 나타내었으며, 강화재의 질량분율이 60 wt.%일 때 결과값의 차이가 가장 크게 발생하였다.
