Al-Mg 알루미늄 합금은 강도가 높고 성형성이 우수하여 수송기기 경량화용 소재로서 사용량이 증가하고 있다. 특히고강도 특성을 보이는 Al-Mg-Mn합금은 자동차, 선박및 철도차량등의 형재 및 판재로 그 사용량이 증가하고 있다. 또한 결정립을 미세화 시킨 Al-Mg-Mn합금판재의 경우에는 온간성형으로 복잡한 형상의 판재부품제조에 사용되고 있다. 연속주조공정인 Twin roll strip casting(TRC)은용탕으로부터 직접 판재를 생산할 수 있는 공정으로 주로 순알루미늄계열의 판재 생산에 사용되고 있으나 최근에는 고강도 판재의 저비용 생산을 위하여 고합금계 판재에 적용하는 연구가 수행되고 있다. 합금량이 높은 고강도Al-Mg계 합금의 TRC 주조시 고액공존구간이 커서 더욱 정밀한 공정제어가 필요하다. 또한 기존의 슬라브주조방식보다 높은 냉각속도로 주조가 가능하기 때문에 결정립 및 정출상의 미세화공정으로 응용되기도한다. 본 연구에서는 TRC공정을 기초로 주조시 열간 압연의효과를 동시에 부여하는 용탕직접압연공정을 개발하였으며 상용 고강도 알루미늄 합금인 5083합금 판재를제조하였다. 또한 기존 Al-Mg 합금에 Mn을 첨가하여 용탕직접압연함으로서 정출상의 크기 및 밀도를 제어하여 강도가 우수한 Al-Mg-Mn 합금판재를 제조하는 기술을 개발하였다. 용탕직접압연된 Al-Mg-Mn계 합금의 경우에 주조시 높은 냉각속도로 인하여 결정립이 미세하고 Al6Mn과 같은 미세한 정출상이 다량 형성되었으며, 최종압연 및 열처리에 의하여 높은 강도를 갖는 고강도 알루미늄 합금 판재의 제조가 가능하였다.

This study aims to develop the control system of vehicle height and apply this developed system to common passenger car. The vibration characteristics to affect ride comfort are examined through driving tests. The hydraulic control system of vehicle height is designed by Macpherson type used most commonly at current passenger car. Tests in this study are operated by the vehicle installed with genuine suspension system of Macpherson type, tuning suspension system and hydraulic control system of vehicle height. As vibration characteristics transmitted to vehicle become random types values of PSD(Power Spectrum Density) are compared.

For the last 60years, North Korea has constructed a lot of roadway bridges with different standard from that used in South Korea, and since North Korea prefer to take advantage of train more than truck for long distance transport, the construction and maintenance of roadway bridges have not been constructed effectively. Upon these situations, an exact evaluation of the resisting capacity for bridges in North Korea has been required to check of any bridge can be used in time of war. This paper introduces an evaluation of bridges in North Korea on the basis of Military Load Classification (MLC). Three different types of concrete bridges are considered, and the numerical analysis and design calculation give the military loadings which can pass through the bridges in North Korea.

A pneumatically-driven driving simulator that provides a realistic representation of the driving environment was developed. The motion platform for the driving simulator is a mechatronic device that gives a driver the realistic feeling of an actual vehicle. The cost of the motion platform comprises the largest part of the expenses in developing a driving simulator. In this project, to develop a low-cost motion platform, the self-built motion platform based on the Stewart platform configuration that is constructed by six pneumatic cylinders was used as its actuator. The Stewart platform that moves in response to the operating signals of the joystick showed satisfactory tracking performance. We confirmed the possibility of the driving simulator using rFactor that is a commercially available racing game software.

In this study, we analyze the static and dynamic characteristics of a bulk-cement trailer with a simpler structure that carries powders. The commercial software ANSYS is used to prepare a detailed three-dimensional model of the chassis frame and tank body that bear most of the load of a bulk-cement trailer for the finite element analysis. Modal analysis is conducted to examine the dynamic characteristics of the trailer body, and static analysis shows weak links in the structure. Finally, we propose a method to increase the strength of vulnerable areas and to reduce the weight of the trailer by applying the Taguchi method.

This study is aimed to develop a proto-type LPG engine for medium-duty commercial vehicles in order to substitute for conventional diesel engine. Recently, it is recognized that diesel engines are main cause for smoke pollution in urban site. So, it is expected to reduce this environmental emission by developing and substituting LPG engine which has the advantage of practical use in a short development period in aspects of infrastructures. For that, after analysing the specifications and performance characteristics of a base diesel engine, parts of combustion chamber, intake system, fuel supply and ignition systems suitable for LPG combustion were re-designed and manufactured. And and engine controller for fuel supply and ignition distributions was matched by feedback mapping based on the speed-load conditions. The torque and power of LPG engine were increased by 6∼12% on the overall driving conditions compared to the base diesel engine, and fuel consumption rate marked the similar level based on the fuel price. Exhaust emissions such as THC, CO, NOx recorded the same order with conventional LPG engine for passenger car.

An aluminum radius rod using rheo-forging method has been developed for heavy commercial vehicles to decrease vehicle unsprung weight. To design the shape of the rod, structural simulations are performed using two load cases. To evaluate durability performance of the rods, a test system which has simultaneous 3 axes actuating system is developed. And 3 axes durability test conditions are established based on vehicle field tests. Using the test systems and the conditions, the durability test is carried out and the rods have passed the test conditions of 700,000 cycles. The weight of a developed aluminum radius rod is 4.2kg and it was drastically reduced by 48.8 percent in comparison with the weight of a steel radius rod.

This study was carried out to develop a diesel engine for marine propulsion. This marine diesel engine was developed based on a 500Ps vehicle diesel engine. Many main parts, such as the intercooler, radiator, and engine controller were designed for the marine diesel engine. The intercooler was designed to be of sea water cooling type; inlet air is cooled by sea water. Engine coolant is cooled by sea water in the radiator too. The water cooling heat exchanger has high cooling performance. In the cooling system, consists of the intercooler and the radiator, the sea water passes through the intercooler and then the radiator, in sequence. This process is very effective compared to the reverse method in which sea water passes through the radiator and then the intercooler, in sequence. The control performance of the engine controller and the fuel injection rate were improved using an engine speed controller. This system was tested on an engine dynamometer and an exhaust gas analyzer using the marine diesel engine test method. Test results show that the 500Ps marine diesel engine satisfied the IMO NOx regulations; Tier II.

This paper presents a real-time image transferring and localization system utilizing HSDPA, a commercial wireless network system. A novel image compression algorithm is developed based on MPEG4 to comply with uploading bandwidth of 130 kbps and QVGA image transmission of 30 fps. Aiming at being embedded in moving vehicles, the proposed system has a small size, low power consumption, and robustness to disturbances. We validate the performance of the system by presenting captured images of transferring video and localization data. Our system can be applied to real-time surround monitoring in moving vehicles or real-time ecology observation in remote places.
