The front-end side members of automobiles absorb most of the energy in a case of front-end collision. The front-end side members are required to have a high stiffness together with easiness to collapse sequentially to absorb more impact energy. The axial static collapse test (5mm/min) was conducted by using UTM for form different types of members which have different cross section shapes; single hat, single cap, double cap, and double hat. The single hat shaped section member has the typical standard section, which the double hat shape section has a symmetry in the center to have more stiffness. As a result of the test, the energy absorbing characteristic was analyzed for different section shapes. It turned out that the change of section shape influence the absorbing energy, the mean collapse load and the maximum collapse load, and the relation between the change of section shape and the collapse mode.

The front-end side members of automobiles, such as the hat-shaped section member, absorb most of the energy during the front-end collision. The side members absorb more energy in collision if they have higher strength and stiffness, and stable folding capacity (local buckling). Using the above characteristics on energy absorption, vehicle should be designed light-weight to improve fuel combustion ratio and reduce exhaust gas. Because of their specific strength and stiffness, CFRP are currently being considered for many structural (aerospace vehicle, automobiles, trains and ships) applications due to their potential for reducing structural weight. Although CFRP members exhibit collapse modes that are significantly different from the collapse modes of metallic materials, numerous studies have shown that CFRP members can be efficient energy absorbing materials. In this study, the CFRP side members were manufactured using a uni-directional prepreg sheet of carbon/Epoxy and axial static collapse tests were performed for the members. The collapse mode and the energy absorption capability of the members were analyzed under the static load.

The front-end side members of automobiles absorb most of the energy in a front-end collision. The front-end side members are required to have a high stiffness together with easiness to collapse sequentially to absorb more impact energy. The axial static collapse test (5mm/mim) was conducted by using UTM with respect to the single hat shaped section members which are the standard section shape of the spot welded section members, to the single cap shaped section members, to the double cap shaped section members and to the double hat shaped section members whose section shape are changed in order to give more stiffness. As a result of test, the energy absorbing characteristic was analyzed for different section shapes. That is, it was analyzed that the change of section shape influenced the absorbing energy, the mean collapse load and the maximum collapse load, and that the relation between the change of section shape and the collapse mode.

This paper concerns the crashworthiness of the widely used vehicle structure, the spot welded hat and double hat shaped section members, which are excellent on the point of the energy absorbing capacity and low production cost. The target of this paper is to analyze the energy absorption capacity of the structure against the front-end collision, and to obtain useful information for designing stage. Changing the spot weld pitches on the flanges, the hat and double hat shaped section members were tested on the axial collapse loads in impact velocities of 4.72m/sec, 6.54m/sec, 7.19m/sec and 7.27m/sec. To efficiently review the collapse characteristics of these sections, the simulation have been carried out using explicit FEM package, LS-DYNA3D. The solutions are compared with results from the impact collapse experiments.

이 연구의 목적은 흰쥐의 궁둥신경의 손상을 준 뒤 달리기운동을 시켜 운동이 근육재생에 효과가 있는지를 밝힐 목적으로 시행하였다. 수컷 Sprague-Dawley계 흰쥐의 궁둥신경을 압궤손상을 준후, 하루 60분 씩 주 5회 운동을 시켰다. 궁둥신경 압궤손상 후 12일(5일간 운동), 19일(10일간 운동), 26일(15일간 운동), 33일(20일간 운동 및 61일(40일간 운동)에 흰쥐를 희생시켜 장딴지근육을 절취하여 냉동절편을 만들었으며 중간세사인 desmin과 vimentin에 대한 면역조직화학적 염색방법을 시행하였고 NADH-TR을 이용한 효소조직화학적 방법으로 뼈대근육의 변성 등을 관찰하였다. 중간세사단백 중 desmin은 근육섬유의 변성 및 재생과정 모두에서 발현되며 vimentin은 재생과정에서만 발현되었다. 대조군보다 실험군에서 desmin과 vimentin의 면역 반응성이 높았고, 실험군의 근육섬유들은 손상 후 61일째에 횡단면에서 각을 갖고 있어 정상 근육섬유임을 입증해 주었으나 대조군의 근육섬유는 정상으로 회복되지 않은 둥근 근육섬유가 관찰되었다. 19일째의 NADH-TR반응에서 대조군에서는 근육 섬유형 군집(fiber type grouping)으로 인해 diformazan 과립이 뭉쳐져 있음을 볼 수 있으나 실험군에서는 점점 diformazan 과립이 고르게 분포됨을 볼 수 있었다. 재신경지배가 일어 날 때 나타나는 표적근육섬유(target fiber)는 NADH-TR반응에서 26일 실험군의 일부 근육섬유에서 처음으로 관찰되었다. 61일째 NADH-TR반응에서 대조군은 아직도 diformazan 과립이 근육섬유성 군집을 보였으나 실험군에서는 정상군과 다름없는 염색성이 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로 흰쥐 궁둥신경 압궤손상 후 트레드밀 달리기 운동이 흰쥐 다리 뼈대근육의 중간세사발현에 효과가 있다고 생각된다.

Aluminum or CFRP is representative one of the lightweight materials. Collapse behavior of Al/CFRP square structural member was evaluated in this study based on the respective collapse behavior of aluminum and CFRP member. Al/CFRP square structural members were manufactured by wrapping CFRP prepreg sheets outside the aluminum hollow members in the autoclave. Because the CFRP is an anisotropic material with mechanical properties, The Al/CFRP square structural members stacked at different angles(${\pm}15^{\circ}$, ${\pm}45^{\circ}$, ${\pm}90^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}/0^{\circ}$ and $0^{\circ}/90^{\circ}$ where the direction on $0^{\circ}$ coincides with the axis of the member) and interface numbers(2, 3, 4, 6 and 7). The axial impact collapse tests were carried out for each section members. Collapse mode and energy absorption characteristics of the each member were analyzed.

It is important to satisfy the requirements and standards for the protections of passengers in a car accident. There are lots of studies on the crushing energy absorption of a structure members in automobiles. We have studied to investigate collapse characteristics and moisture absorption movements of CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) hat shaped sectional members when CFRP laminates are under the hygrothermal environment. In particular, the absorbed energy, mean collapse load and deformation mode were analyzed for side members which absorbed most of the collision energy. Variation of CFRP interlaminar numbers is important to increase the energy absorption capability. Therefore we have made a static collapse experiment to research into the difference of absorbed energy and deformation mode between moisture absorbed specimen and non-moisture absorbed.
