Recliner of automotive seat has the function to control the angle and has a close relation to the safety of seat. Therefore each of parts constituting recliner is important and recliner case to protect these parts from various dynamic loads is also important. As two kinds of recliner cases are designed and analyzed before manufacturing these products, this study result can be contributed to the strength durability.

Seat is the part relevant to comfortableness and safety among automotive parts directly. It also should have sufficient stiffness and strength to satisfy these conditions and ensure the safety of passenger. Automotive seat is modelled with 3D and is simulated with structural analyses about three kinds of experiments by before and after gap, side gap, before and after moment strength. As analysis result, deformation angles of $0.038^{\circ}$ and $0.04^{\circ}$ are respectively shown at before and after gap test, side gap test. Through before and after the moment strength test, maximum total deformations of 0.18946mm and 3.2482mm are respectively shown at front and rear loads. By the study result of no excessive deformation and no fracture at automotive seat frame, the sufficient rigidity and strength to guarantee the safety of passenger can be verified.

In recent years, requests for automotive seat comfort are increasing. An important issue of them is long-term seat comfort. Until now, the study for long-term seat comfort has been studied mainly using driver's questionnaire, changing adrenalin and electromyography. Actually the results and methodologies of them are difficult to apply to seat development and design because of money and time required. In this study, we developed Seating Feel Curve for seat comfort evaluation and a long-term seat comfort evaluation which can be applied to the development of seat comfort using seat support.

본 연구는 국제환경규제에 따라 폐자동차의 재활용율 향상을 위한 재활용 부품 우선순위를 도출하고, 폐시트 등 부품 재활용에 의한 환경성을 평가하기 위하여 폐차 해체시스템 전과정평가를 수행하였다. 연구결과 차피의 고철을 재활용 할 경우에는 지구온난화와 오존층파괴에 큰 환경이득을 얻을 수 있으나 폐시트를 폴리올 원료로 재활용할 경우에는 많은 자원의 사용으로 오히려 소각으로 인한 환경부하보다 지구온난화와 오존층파괴, 광화학산화물생성 등의 부하를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 폐차의 95% 이상을 재활용 및 회수하기 위해서는 분해시간 및 시장성, 기술현황 등을 종합하여 고려하여야 하며 재활용이 곤란한 유리와 같은 다른 부품과 함께 시트의 물질재활용도 반드시 포함되어야 될 것으로 사료된다. 처리와 재활용에 따른 환경성을 비교한 결과 재활용이 필요한 부품은 시트와 유리가 가장 시급하며, 배터리, 혼합플라스틱도 재활용시 환경친화적 공정개발이 필요한 것으로 도출되었다.

Vehicle seats provide a comfortable ride for passengers by properly absorbing vibrations and shocks transmitted during driving. Vibration analyses on three models with different shapes were carried with the same material properties and constraint conditions. By varying the height of the seat-back, models 1, 2, and 3 were designed according to the inclined angle of the seat-back frame. Models 1, 2, and 3 were modeled with relatively simple designs using CATIA. The areas touching the buttocks of passengers show the most deformation. This work shows that seat durability and stability can vary depending on the shape of the seat design.

다공질 폴리프로필렌 시트는 압전센서 및 VOC 발생이 적은 자동차 내장소재로 주목을 받고 있으며, 특히 경량화를 위한 다공질 폴리프로필렌 시트의 가공기술이 중요하다. 이 연구에서는 기존의 가교형 폴리프로필렌 시트를 활용하여 압출과 사출이 아닌 압연공정과 열처리 발포공정을 접목하였다. 발포를 위한 마스터배치와 폴리프로필렌의 혼합으로 제조된 두께 1mm의 폴리프로필렌시트를 $200^{\circ}C$온도에서 온간압연공정에 의해 0.1-0.2mm 두께로 제조하고, 이를 $200^{\circ}C$에서 5분동안 발포함으로써 기공률 65%의 시트를 제조함으로써 저가의 압전센서 소재로 활용 가능성을 확인하였다.

엔진 밸브와 밸브시트의 마모는 엔진 성능에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 요소 중에 하나이다. 엔진 밸브와 밸브시트는 엔진 구동 과정에서 발생하는 고온의 배기가스, 밸브 스프링의 빠른 움직임, 엔진 폭발 과정의 고압, 균일하지 못한 냉각시스템으로 발생하는 실린더 헤드의 뒤틀림이 만들어 내는 극한 환경을 이겨내야 한다. 본 연구에서는 밸브 및 밸브시트의 마모율과 마모 메카니즘을 명확하게 규명하기 위해서 실제 자동차 엔진 내부의 조건인 온도, 밸브와 밸브시트간의 충돌, 스라이딩 등에 관한 것들을 고려하여 밸브 및 밸브시트가 충돌 시험할 수 있는 전용마모 시험기를 사용하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 시편은 현재 실차에 사용되고 있는 밸브와 밸브시트를 사용하였다. 그 종류는 STR35 밸브, STL #6 및 STL #32이다. 밸브시트는 HVS1-2 재질을 사용하였다.

This study carried out the structural analysis and vibration analysis on scooter seat. By comparing with three kinds of B-bone A, Julio B, and City Ace C, the load was applied to scooter seat as much as a weight of person. Through structural analysis, this study examined which seat is most deformed by comparing the deformation each other or affords passengers most convenience and does not afford passengers the inconvenience by absorbing the vibration during driving. Model C has the most total deformation at the structural analysis result and Model B is seen to be changed to be convenient to sit the deformation as it deforms largely. Through this study, which seat is most convenient and becomes strong on durability can be confirmed. As the durability analysis result data of scooter seat model obtained on the basis of this study result are utilized, the esthetic sense can be shown by being grafted onto the machine or structure at real life.

This paper may provide a basic design data for the safer car seat mechanism and the quality of the material used by finding out the passenger's dynamic behavior when protected by seat belt during collision. A computer simulation with finite element method is used to accomplish this objective. At first, a detailed geometric model of the seat is constructed using CAD program. The formation of a finite element from a geometric data of the seat is carried out using Hyper-Mesh that is the commercial software for mesh generation and post processing. In addition to seat modeling, the finite element model of seat belt and dummy is formed using the same software. Rear impact analysis is accomplished using Pam-Crash with crash pulse. The part of the recliner and right frame is under big stress in rear crash analysis because the acceleration force is exerted on the back of the seat by dummy. The stress condition of the part of the bracket is checked as well because it is considered as an important variable on the seat design. Front impact model which including dummy and seal belt is analyzed. A Part of anchor buckle of seat frame has high stress distribution because of retraction force due to forward motion of dummy at the moment of collision. On the basis of the analysis result, remodeling and reanalysis works had been repeatedly done until a satisfactory result is obtained.

Structural analysis and fatigue tests have been performed to develop design and evaluation technologies of automotive seat frames. Under the back moment loading condition, the numerical simulation unveiled the maximum stress up to the yield strength at the side frame bracket. To measure the stresses under the test condition, strain gauges were attached to some weakest points of the side frames. the measured strains are in good agreements with the CAE results. On the other hand, some fatigue tests have been performed using the side frame bracket specimens made of various welding types to evaluate their durabilities. From the fatigue tests and the numerical analyses, it was recommended that the bracket welding position should be moved upward.
