Lightweight body can cause a low stiffness due to the decrease of panel thickness and reinforcing member. The other way, high stiffness body demands an increase of mass. Front pillar section area is decreased due to driver's visual field. Global vehicle stiffness is affected by stiffness distribution ratio between upper part and lower part at side body structure. This paper will describe a process used to evaluate the stiffness distribution ratio based on research of strain energy analysis of the tip rotation method. In addition, optimum design schemes are presented for high stiffness and lightweight body structure considering the investigated stiffness distribution ratio. In this way the designer will be aided by a defined design guide and a set of supporting tool to help him work towards a good design

LCD robot vertical frame lets a arm assembly with glass substrate move up and down, so it must have high stiffness and strength. We applied new manufacturing process by using design optimization process such as topology and size optimization in order to satisfy the request of high stiffness and light weight. The proposed model should be evaluated for endurance strength. Therefore fatigue assessment for weak point of aluminum welding area of vertical frame studied with hot spot stress approach. And the actual stress measuring from test was compared and evaluated with the dynamic stress calculated from multi-body dynamics considering flexible body.

The head frame structure of a machine tool for aircraft parts, which requires machining precision and machining of difficult-to-cut materials is required to be light-weighted for precision high-speed machining and to minimize possible deformation by cutting force. To achieve high stiffness and for light-weight structure optimization design, a preliminary model was designed based on finite element analysis. The topology optimization design of light-weight, high stiffness, and low vibration frame structure were performed by minimizing compliance. As a result, the frame weight decreased by 17.3%, the maximum deflection was less than 0.007 mm, and the natural frequency increased by 30.6%. The static stiffness was increased in each axis direction and the dynamic stiffness exhibited contrary results according to the axis. Optimized structure with the high stiffness of low vibration in topology optimization design was confirmed.

In this research, a parametric study was carried out to design a metal-carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) hybrid pantograph for weight reduction of high speed train (KTX). To design a light-weight and high-stiffness pantograph, some parts of the original steel upper arm was replaced by CFRPs with appropriate stacking sequences. For the parametric study, steel was replaced by aluminium considering structure stiffness and weight of hybrid upperarm of a pantograph. Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed for checking the structure stiffness with varying design parameters. Static vertical load stiffness and weight changing ratio were derived from real CX-PG pantograph model analyses. From the FEA results, the geometries of high-stiffness, light-weight pantograph have been suggested.

자동차용 열연강판은 그 용도에 따라 매우 다양한 제품특성이 요구되고 있다. 즉 고강도 및 고강성, 우수한 피로특성, 용접성 및 내식성 등이 요구되고 있다. 이중에서도 고강도화는 향후 자동차의 경량화와 더불어 안전성을 동시에 확보하기 위해 매우 필요한 기술이다. 고강도화에 가장 많은 노력이 이루어졌던 wheel용 강재의 경우, 기존에는 60kg급 강재가 주종을 이루었으나, 일본등에서는 80kg급 강재의 시험생산 및 실차 test가 진행되는 등 소재공급사와 자동차제조사와의 공동노력에 의해 많은 기술개발이 이루어져 왔다. 더우기 96년 6월 일본철강연맹 규격에는 자동차용 열간압연 강판으로 80kg급 강재가 등록이 됨으로서 향후 고강도강의 소요가 크게 증가될 전망이다. 또한 근래 상용화가 활발하게 진행되고 있는 열연 TRIP강의 경우 기존의 개념을 넘어서는 고강도 및 고연성, 우수한 가공선과 더불어 우수한 피로특성을 보이고 있어 향후 동 소재의 사용확대가 크게 기대되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 좋은 철강소재의 개발과 이의 적용은 강재제조기술과 더불어 이의 적정 가공기술 그리고 독자적인 설계기술등이 연계되어야만 비로소 이루어질 수 있다. 이를 위해 소재공급사와 자동차제조사간에 지속적인 기술개발을 위한 공동노력이 이루어져야 되리라 생각된다.

In this paper, the operating stiffness of a parallel robot used to handle heavy packages is optimized. Because the studied model, called a "pick and place robot," is applied for packaging logistics, it is important for the robot to be lightweight so that it may respond rapidly and have high stiffness to allow sufficient operating precision. However, these two requirements of low weight and high stiffness are mutually exclusive. Thus, the dynamic characteristics of the robot are analyzed through multibody dynamics analysis, and topology optimization is conducted to achieve this exclusive performance. Lastly, the reliability of the topology optimization is verified by applying the optimized design to the parallel robot.
