The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the bead shape on the crash performance of an aluminum crash box under a low-velocity impact condition. The initial peak load and impact energy absorption of a crash box with three types of bead shapes-edge concave, surface convex, and surface concave type-were studied through an FE analysis and an experiment. In addition, the effects of the bead shapes on the crash performance of the crash box were verified through a low-velocity-impact test with a front side member assembled with an aluminum crash box. The initial peak load of the surface-concave-type crash box was reduced by the bead, and therefore, deformation of the front side member at initial contact could be prevented. Furthermore, there was no deformation of the front side member after the impact test because the crash box with a surface-concave-type bead absorbed all the impact energy.

충돌에서의 차체 손상과 충돌 성능 강화를 위하여 최근 크래쉬 영역의 개념이 설계개념에 도입되고 있다. 대표적인 예가 범퍼와 차체사이의 크래쉬 박스로 저속충돌시 충격에너지를 흡수하여 범퍼이후 차체에 에너지를 저감시켜 차량의 안전성 및 수리비 저감 등에 있어서도 매우 효과적인 역할을 하는 부품으로 이에 대한 개발을 위해 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 충돌에너지 흡수성능이 우수한 크래쉬박스에 알루미늄 폼을 적용하였을 때 충돌에너지 흡수 및 거동에 대하여 충돌해석을 수행하였다.

Crash box is introduced to vehicle design to improve the impact performance and reduce the damage of vehicle body at impact speed. The crash box behind bumper can absorb impact energy effectively to improve vehicle safety. Repair cost at collision accident can be cut down by use of this box. The configuration of car body must be designed by considering the characteristic of material due to the deformation of car body happened at impact. Many papers have been published about material of crash box all over the world. The study of crash box with tube expansion type has been going on Korea. This study is done by the simulation analysis about front collisions against 5 kinds of aluminum crash boxes with the basic structure of square section.

Fuzzing is one of the software testing techniques that find security flaws by inputting invalid values or arbitrary values into the program and various methods have been suggested to increase the efficiency of such fuzzing. In this paper, focusing on the existence of field with high relevance to coverage and software crash, we propose a new method for intensively fuzzing corresponding field part while performing field based fuzzing. In this case, we use a deep learning model called Variational Autoencoder(VAE) to learn the statistical characteristic of input values measured in high coverage and it showed that the coverage of the regenerated files are uniformly higher than that of simple variation. It also showed that new crash could be found by learning the statistical characteristic of the files in which the crash occurred and applying the dropout during the regeneration. Experimental results showed that the coverage is about 10% higher than the files in the queue of the AFL fuzzing tool and in the Hwpviewer binary, we found two new crashes using two crashes that found at the initial fuzzing phase.

Aluminum foam is one of the representative light-weight materials. In this study we analyzed the mechanical properties of the aluminum foam structures. Aluminum materials with pores have novel mechanical characteristics such as flame retardancy, damping, and energy absorption which are superior to those of polymer foam. Furthermore its reusable properties draw considerable interests. General properties, energy and acoustic absorption will be investigated and future research issues such as binding techniques of foam materials with other structures will be discussed through foam application examples.

Crash box is one of the most important automotive parts for crash energy absorption and is equipped at the front end of the front side member. The specific characteristics of aluminum alloys offer the possibility to design cost-effective lightweight structures with high stiffness and excellent crash energy absorption potential. This study deals with crashworthiness of aluminum crash box for an auto-body with the various types of cross section. For aluminum alloys, A17003-T7 and A17003-T5, the dynamic tensile test was carried out to apply for crash analysis at the range of strain from 0.003/sec to 200/sec. The crash analysis and the crash test were carried out for three cross sections of rectangle, hexagon and octagon. The analysis results show that the octagon cross section shape with A17003-T5 has higher crashworthiness than other cross section shapes. The effect of rib shapes in the cross section is important factor in crash analysis. Finally, new configuration of crash box with high crash energy absorption was suggested.

A bumper comprises a bumper cover, a bumper beam for distributing the load from the impacts applied to the bumper cover and reinforcing the bumper, an absorber member interposed between the bumper cover and tile bumper beam, and a pair of bumper stays which secure the bumper beam to the vehicle body. A conventional bumper stay structure is assembled into several stamped parts, so several processes are needed and the structure is complicated. In this study the bumper stay is applied to the tubular hydroforming which is known to have several advantages such as the reduction of the number of the process and the part weight. The thickness distribution of the tube is mainly considered to evaluate the hydro-formability and the shape of the tube is determined.

This paper is a purpose to study the failure examples for a large bus vehicle fire. The first example, the researcher certified the fact that the absorbing material break away from the upper side of engine room because of weaken durability and the fire was produced in engine. The second example, it sought the fact that the fire breaks out by electric short because of over-load of compressor. The third example, it found the fact that the fire took place by heating of bellows upper part that was connected with muffler and exhaust manifold. The fourth example, it knew the fact that the fire occurred because of the electric short inside junction box of crash body part that was located to driver seat rightside. Therefore, the fire of a large bus occurring by decrepit of absorbing material and electric short have to thoroughgoingly manage the damage and dangerousness if it happens.
