The deformed degree of car body varies largely with the collision part from side collision of car-to-car. In case of deformation of car body caused by collision, the movement is different as speed energy changes to strain energy. Generally, in the analysis of traffic accident, the movement of car after the collision is analyzed by law of conservation of motion and the error of energy absorption rate along the deformation of car body can be calibrated by inputting coefficient of restitution, but it is current situation that coefficient of restitution applied by referring to the research results of forward collision and backward collision because the research results of side collision is rare. Vehicle model of finite element method applied by structure of car body and materials of each component was analyzed by explicit finite element method, and coefficient of restitution and collision detection time along contact part of side collision was drawn by analyzing the results. Analysis result acquired through the law of conservation momentum by applying finally-computed coefficient of restitution and crash detection time compared to collision result of actual vehicle. As a result, the reliability of analysis was higher than the existing analysis method were acquired when applying the drawn initial input value that used finite element method analysis model.

In this study, concerns the crashworthiness of the widely used vehicle structure, square thin-walled tubes, which are excellent on the point of the energy absorbing capacity. An experimental investigation was carried out to study the energy absorption characteristics of thin-walled square tubes subjected to dynamic crushing by axial loading to develop the optimum structural members. The impact velocity was tested in the rage $4.698{\sim}8.2m/s$. To efficiently review the collapse characteristics of these sections, the simulation have been carried out using explicit FEM package, LS-DYNA. The solutions compared with results the impact collapse experiment. Here, the controller are introduced to improve and control the absorbed energy of thin-walled square tubes in this paper. To predict and control the energy absorption, we designed it in consideration to the it's influence, height, thickness, wide ratio in this study. When the controller used, the experimental results of crushing of square tubes controlled by the controller's elements showed a good candidate for a controllable energy absorption capability in impact axial crushing.

This paper discusses the analysis of the curl deformation behavior when a dynamic force is applied to a tearing tube installed on a flat die to predict the energy absorption capacity and deformation behavior. The deformation of the tips of the curling strips was obtained when the curl tips and tube body are in contact with each other, and a formula describing the energy dissipation rate caused by the deformation of the curl tips is proposed. To improve this formula, we focused on the variation of the curl radius and the reduced thickness of the tube. A formula describing the mean curl radius is proposed and verified using the curl radius measurement data of collision test specimens. These improved formulas are added to the theoretical model previously proposed by Huang et al. and verified from the collision test results of a tearing tube.

Rotorcrafts have more severe crashworthiness conditions than fixed wing aircraft owing to VTOL and hovering. Recently, with the increasing demand for highly efficient transportation system, application of composite materials to aircraft structures is increasing. However, due to the characteristics of composite materials that are susceptible to impact and crash, demand to prove the crashworthiness of composite structures is also increasing. The purpose of present study is to derive the structural concept of composite subfloor for rotorcrafts and verify it. In order to design a crashworthy composite subfloor, the conceptual design of the testbed helicopter for the demonstration and the derivation of energy absorbing requirement were carried out, and the composite energy absorber was designed and verified. Finally, the testbed for the demonstration of a crashworthy composite structure was fabricated, and performed free drop test. It was confirmed that the test results meet the criteria for ensuring occupant survivability.

플라즈마에 노출된 재료 표면의 온도 증가는 다음과 같은 요인에 의해서 결정된다. 이온의 충돌에 의한 역학적 에너지, 이온의 중성화, 라디칼의 안정화에 의한 에너지 방출(잠열, latent heat), 플라즈마에서 방출된 빛의 흡수. 이중 식각을 위한 기판 바이어스에 의해서 주로 결정되는 이온 충돌 에너지와 잠열의 방출이 300 mm wafer용 유도 결합 플라즈마 식각 장치에서 소스 전력과 바이어스 전력에 따라서 어떻게 변화하는지 전산 유체 역학 모사 프로그램인 CFD-ACE를 이용하여 상용 식각 장비인 AMAT사의 DPS II를 대상으로 온도 분포의 변화를 계산하였다. 실험 결과와 비교를 위하여 다섯 곳에(상, 하, 좌, 우, 중심) 열전대를 부착한 온도 측정 웨이퍼를 기판의 위치에 설치하고 여러 가지 실험 조건에 대해서 온도의 변화를 측정하였다. Ar 10 mTorr에서 2열 병렬 안테나의 전력을 300 W에서 시간에 따른 온도의 변화를 측정하였다. 이때 wafer의 평균 온도는 $28.9^{\circ}C$에서 $150^{\circ}C$까지 12분 내에 상승하였으며 최고 온도에 도달한 다음에는 거의 일정하게 유지 되었다. Si의 식각에서 온도의 영향을 가장 크게 받는 반응은 F 라디칼에 의한 Si의 직접 식각이며 Arrhenius 식의 형태로 표현하면 0.116*exp (-1250/T)의 형태로 된다. 문헌에 보고된 계수를 이용해서 $29^{\circ}C$의 식각 속도와 플라즈마에 의한 가열 최고 온도인 $150^{\circ}C$ 때의 값을 비교해보면 3.3배의 차이가 난다. 따라서 4%내의 식각 균일도를 목표로 하는 폴리 실리콘 게이트 식각 장비의 설계에서는 플라즈마에 의한 가열 불균일을 상쇄 할 수 있는 히터와 냉각 구조의 최적 설계가 필요하다.

Through this study, a conceptual design for the next generation high-speed EMU has been derived to meet the crash worthiness requirements of the Korean rollingstock safety regulation. The crashworthiness regulations require some performance requirements for two heavy collision accident scenarios; a train-to-train collision at the relative speed of 36 km/h, and a collision against a standard deformable obstacle of 15 ton at 110km/h. The complete train set will be composed of 2TC-6M with 13 ton axle load, which is different from KTX with the power car of 17 ton axle load. Using theoretical and numerical analyses, a crashworthy conceptual design was derived in terms of mean crush forces and energy absorptions for principal crushable structures and devices. The derived conceptual design was evaluated and improved using one dimensional dynamic simulations for the bar-spring-damper-mass model. It is shown from the simulation results that the suggested conceptual design can easily satisfy domestic crashworthiness requirements.

This paper proposed a new 2-D multi-body dynamic modeling technique to analyze overriding behaviors taking place during train collision. This dynamic model is composed of nonlinear springs, dampers and masses by considering the deformable characteristics of carbodies as well as energy absorbing structures and components. By solving this dynamic model for rollingstock, energy absorbing capacities of collision elements, accelerations of passenger sections, impact forces applied to interconnecting devices, and overriding displacements can be well estimated. For a case study, we chose KHST (Korean High Speed Train), obtained crush characteristic data of each carbody section from 3-D finite element analysis, and established a 2-D multi-body dynamic model. This 2-D dynamic model was simulated under the train-to-train collision scenarios, and evaluated with 3-D virtual testing model. It was founded from the simulation results that this 2-D dynamic model could well predict overriding behaviors, and the modeling technique of carbody deformation was very important in overriding estimation.

In this study, we simulate the railway crash accident that occurred at the Sangwangsimni station on the Seoul Metro Line #2, and we propose a solution to minimize the damage. We use LS-DYNA, which is the commercial software employed for collision analysis to perform 1-D and 3-D simulations for the recurrence of accidents. By performing 1-D simulations, we analyze the load, displacement, absorbed energy of the couplers, and acceleration of vehicles, and we evaluate the safety in accidental collisions. By performing 3-D simulations, we analyze the deformation of the car and over-ridding. We propose methods to improve the safety in collisions involving railway vehicles, and we perform collision accident simulations to determine improvements when applying a high-performance energy absorber to the front car.

In order to improve the frontal crash performance of an Aluminum Space Frame Vehicle, this presents a systematic optimal design process to maximize the crush energy absorption capacity of side-members while satisfying the maximum displacement constraint. In this study, five design types are studied for selecting a good collapse initiator. Then, for the selected collapse initiator type, 7 design variables are defined to represent cross section shape, thickness and bead interval. The systematic optimization processor, R-INOPL uses DOE, RSM and numerical optimization techniques. R-INOPL uses only 14 analyses to solve the 7 design variable optimization problem the final design can improve 103.9% of the internal energy and reduce 13.9% of the maximum displacement.

중성입자가 함께 존재하는 불균일한 플라즈마 내로 입사하는 전파들은 플라즈마의 전자 밀도와 전자-중성입자 충돌에 의해 영향을 받게 된다. 특히 전자들의 운동이 중요한 높은 주파수 파동들은 상위 혼합 공명(Upper Hybrid Resonance)과 주변 자기장 현상에 의한 파동 모드 변환(mode conversion)으로 전파의 성질이 변하게 된다. 그리고 전자-중성입자에 의한 충돌은 에너지의 감쇄 등의 영향을 미치게 된다. 이러한 조건을 모두 고려한 유체 수치 모델을 이용하여 지구의 전리층이나 약한 자기권을 가지고 있는 행성 대기와 같이 플라즈마와 중성입자가 섞여있는 매질에서의 전자기파 파동의 특성을 조사하였다. 주파수, 중성대기 밀도 및 입사 각도에 따라 파동의 공명 흡수량과 감쇄량을 각각 알아본다.
