Door impact beam plays a key role in minimizing the occupant injury within the side impacted vehicle through preventing intrusion of the impacting vehicle. Steel pipe type door impact beam has been widely adopted since it has simple structure and the overall strength is easily determined according to the pipe size. The brackets welded at pipe ends connect the door impact beam and the door panels by spot welds. In this study, first, the effect of pipe thickness, bracket thickness and door mounting stiffness was respectively analyzed. Next, application of the tailor rolled pipe was examined and several alterations of the bracket mounting method were considered. Application of tailor rolled pipes with superior bracket mounting method showed remarkable strength enhancement and weight reduction possibility in comparison with the current door impact beam.

To reduce the weight of the car and ensure the safety of the driver while driving, the existing 440 MPa-class mounting bracket was treated at 590MPa to improve collision safety and secure the weight of the vehicle body. The following conclusions were drawn from the tensile test, forming analysis, and springback prediction. In the formability and springback analyses using FLD, it could be confirmed that bending was an essential process because the formability and flatness were much better when bending was added than when bending was not applied. Based on the research results, it was deduced that the mold design was necessary so that the molding was carried out at a strain rate of 20% or less for stable molding.

This study aims at the structural analysis of vibration and fatigue according to the configuration of engine mount. Maximum equivalent stress or deformation is shown at bracket or case respectively. As harmonic vibration analysis, the maximum displacement amplitude is happened at 4,000Hz. Among the cases of nonuniform fatigue loads, 'SAE bracket history' with the severest change of load becomes most unstable but 'Sample history' or 'Saw tooth' becomes most stable. In case of 'Sample history' or 'Saw tooth' with the average stress of 4,200MPa or 0MPa and the amplitude stress of -3,000MPa or 7MPa, the possibility of maximum damage becomes 70%. This stress state can be shown with 7 times more than the damage possibility of 'SAE bracket history' or 'SAE transmission'. The structural result of this study can be effectively utilized with the design on engine mount by investigating prevention and durability against its damage.

Firstly, FEM model for the body frame of a fuel cell vehicle was built up and design optimization results based on different schemes were exhibited. One scheme was to minimize weight while maintaining the normal mode frequencies and the other was to increase the frequencies without weight change. Next, for a rear frame model, shape parameter study on collapse characteristics such as peak resistance load and absorbed energy was carried out. Also, the stiffness of frame mounting brackets was predicted using inertance calculation and the durability of those mounting brackets for vehicle system loads was evaluated. Finally, for a representative mounting model, the influence on durability due to thickness change was analyzed.

최근들어 철도차량 기술은 비약적으로 발전하고 있지만 승차감과 진동 등의 문제는 앞으로도 계속 연구해야 할 과제로 남아있다. 서울시 7호선 전동차(SR001)에 적용된 공기압축기는 유지보수성 및 점검의 편리함을 고려하여 오일프리 왕복동식 공기압축기를 적용하였다. 하지만 왕복동식 공기압축기는 피스톤의 왕복 운동에 의해 공기를 압축하고 그 관성의 힘 때문에 압축기 및 주위 구조물에 진동을 전파한다. 그 전파되는 진동을 최소한으로 줄이기 위해 오일프리 왕복동식 공기압축기의 마운팅 브라켓에 대한 최적설계를 통해 진동저감 효과를 볼 수 있었고, 그와 더불어 공기압축기 작동시 발생되는 진동을 측정하여 나온 결과 값을 토대로 진동에 대한 주파수 스펙트럼을 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 설계치와 실험결과의 차이를 분석하여 왕복동식 공기압축기의 진동전파 과정을 파악하고, 진동이 전달되는 것을 최소화 하여 진동저감을 위한 대책을 고찰하였다.
