자동차 부품은 주행 중 전후, 좌우, 상하방향의 병진 운동과 각 축에 대한 회전 운동 등 6자유도의 운동을 받는다. 이와 같은 운동에 따라 자동차에 탑재되는 운전석(cockpit), 의자(seat), 연료탱크, 라디에이터, FEM(front end module) 등의 부품 및 모듈 등은 6자유도 운동을 받으면서 각 부품의 기능을 수행하고 있다. 따라서 이들 부품을 짧은 시간 내에 개발하기 위해서는 가속내구시험평가가 필수적인데 이를 위해 유압식 6자유도 가진 테이블을 이용한 기술이 활용되고 있다. 본 해설에서는 자동차 부품 및 모듈의 내구성능 평가 과정과 함께 유압식 6자유도 가진 테이블을 보유하고 관련 부품의 진동내구성능을 평가하고 있는 군산대학교 자동차부품기술혁신센터(KATIC)의 시험 평가장비 및 사례를 기술하였다. 이와 같은 자동차 부품 내구성능평가 방법과 6자유도 가진 테이블을 이용한 시험은 향후 자동차부품 및 일반기계부품 개발업체에서 내구성능향상을 위하여 활용도가 더욱 증대될 것이다.

In this paper, a hydropneumatic modeling and analysis of a heavy truck cabin air suspension system is presented. Cabin air suspension system is a system which improves ride comfort of a heavy truck and it can reduce vibration between truck frame and cabin. The components of the system, air spring, shock absorber, leveling valve and full cabin system are mathematically modelled using AMESim software. Simulation results of components and full cabin system are compared with experimental data of components and test results of a cabin using 6 axis simulation table. It is found that the simulation results are in good agreements with test results, and the hydropneumatic model can be used well to predict dynamic characteric of heavy truck cabin air suspension system.

Semi-active cabin air suspension system improves driver's comfort by controlling the damping characteristics in accordance with driving situation. For the driver's comfort evaluation, test procedure has the two methodologies which are filed test and lab test. A field test method has a drawback. It requires a lot of time and money on repetitive test, due to the sensitivity of field test. On the other hand, the test with six axes simulation table at laboratory can obtain the repeatability of test, better than the field test method. In this paper, the procedures of ride performance test and control logic tuning with the table are presented. Drive files of the table can be represented with the almost same input condition as field test data. According to the result from the comparative test using six axes simulation table between passive and semi-active system by making ECU logic tuning, the RMS acceleration of semi-active cabin air suspension system was reduced by 29.6% compared with passive system.
