The objective of this paper is to design stamping die of inner reinforcement panel with DL 950 advanced high strength steel as stamping materials through numerical analyses and experiments. The stamping process was designed as bending dominant process consisting of 1 step of notching and 4 steps of bending processes. In order to obtain a proper design of the stamping die, various three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analyses were performed using a commercial code AUTOFORM V4.2. Design parameter of stamping die was chosen as the corner radius of the stamping die for each step. From the results of the FE analysis, feasible corner radii of the stamping die, which can minimize the deviation of corner angle of the stamped part from design data, and forming load for each part were estimated. Stamping experiments were carried out using the manufactured stamping die according to the proposed die design. The results of experiments were shown that the stamping die can successfully manufacture the inner reinforcement panel with DL 950 advanced high strength steel as base stamping material.

In order to suppress $CO_2$ emission and protect passengers in case of vehicle collision, continuous efforts are being made to increase the application ratio and tensile strength of advanced high strength steels used in the manufacturing of automotive body. Simultaneously, hydrogen embrittlement which was not a concern in the past has currently become a major issue due to microstructure that is sensitive to hydrogen uptake. The sensitivity increases with residual stress and hydrogen uptake content. Many automotive OEM companies and mill makers are setting specifications to control hydrogen embrittlement. The factors which lead to hydrogen embrittlement are material sensitivity, residual stress, and hydrogen concentration; researches are in progress to develop countermeasures. To reduce material sensitivity, mill makers add high energy trap elements or microstructure refinement elements. Automotive OEM companies design the car parts not to concentrate local stress. And they manage the levels to not to exceed critical hydrogen concentration. In this article, we have reviewed hydrogen embrittlement evaluation methods and corresponding solutions that are being studied in automobile manufacturing industries and mill makers.

In order to reduce the weight of the blow motor case and to maintain the strength of the motor joint, the mechanical joining strength is to be predicted. The true stress - true strain curves for finite element analysis were obtained through tensile tests of HGI and DP 780 steel. The mechanical joining strength was predicted through an explicit finite element analysis and the accuracy of the predicted results was verified by actual sample test. The regression equation for predicting the mechanical joining strength to the thickness of the DP 780 steel was derived. The minimum thickness of DP 780(1.2mm), which is equivalent to the joining strength of HGI(2.6mm), was derived from the equation.

이 연구에서는 강섬유 보강 초고강도 콘크리트의 타설방법에 따라 섬유의 방향성이 인장강도에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 섬유의 방향성을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 이미지 프로세싱 기법을 개발하였으며, 개발한 기법을 적용하여 섬유의 방향성을 평가하였다. 또한 휨인장실험을 수행하여 섬유의 방향성이 균열발생강도 및 휨인장강도에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 이 연구에서 개발한 이미지 프로세싱 기법은 섬유 방향성 이외에 분산성 계수, 단위면적당 섬유의 개수 등, 분포 특성을 정량적으로 평가하고 있으며, 타설방법에 따라 섬유 분포 특성에 상당한 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 섬유의 방향 분포특성은 강섬유 보강 초고강도 콘크리트의 균열발생강도에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않으나, 휨인장강도에 미치는 영향은 아주 큰 것으로 나타났으며, 이론적인 휨강도 모델식에 실제 섬유 방향성을 적용하여 예측한 결과, 실험 결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper is concerned with the light-weight design of a center-pillar assembly for the high-speed side impact of vehicle using advanced high strength steels(AHSS). Steel industries continuously promote the ULSAB-AVC project for applying AHSS to structural parts as an alternative way to improve the crashworthiness and the fuel efficiency because it has the superior strength compared to the conventional steel. In order to simulate deformation behavior of the center-pillar assembly, a simplified center-pillar model is developed and parts of that are subdivided employing tailor-welded blanks(TWB) in order to control the deformation shape of the center-pillar assembly. The thickness of each part which constitutes the simplified model is selected as a design parameter. Factorial design is carried out aiming at the application and configuration of AHSS to simplified side-impact analysis because it needs tremendous computing time to consider all combinations of parts. In optimization of the center-pillar, S-shaped deformation is targeted to guarantee the reduction of the injury level of a driver dummy in the crash test. The objective function is constructed so as to minimize the weight and lead to S-shape deformation mode. Optimization also includes the weight reduction comparing with the case using conventional steels. The result shows that the AHSS can be utilized effectively for minimization of the vehicle weight and induction of S-shaped deformation.

In this study a hybrid safety barrier system consisting of steel rail and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) post is considered. W hile CFRP post is selected for impact energy reflection due to its high strength, steel rail is selected for impact energy absorption due to its high ductility. A numerical model considering the elastoplastic behavior of steel is formulated to simulate the dynamic responses of the hybrid system subject to an impact load. A hybrid roadside guard rail system of steel rail and CFRP post is proposed and analyzed with a case study. The numerical model for the hybrid roadside guard rail system is used to find optimized design of the proposed hybrid system.

The austenitic Fe-Mn alloys have received considerable attention as a possible candidate for the automotive structural materials due to their high strength and high formability with high elongation. This research investigates the effect of alloying elements on the phase transformation, deformation behavior and mechanical properties in high Mn steels for the development of a high strength high ductility steel. The mechanical stability of austenitic phases is very important for high ductility and it depends largely on the composition of carbon, manganese and aluminum. The dominant deformation mode shifts from TRIP to TWIP mode as the amount of C, Mn and Al is increased. Especially, even a small amount of Al addition facilitates significantly TWIP deformation due to the increase of stacking fault energy in Fe-Mn alloys, this leads to increase the ductility and also decrease the crack sensitivity.

It is expected that advanced high strength steels (AHSS) would be widely used for vehicles with better performance in automotive industries. One of distinctive features of AHSS is the high value of carbon equivalent (Ceq), which results in the different properties in formability, weldability and paintability from those of common grade of steel sheets. There is an exponential relation between Ceq and electric resistance, which seems also to have correlation with the thickness of electric deposition (ED) coat. Higher value of Ceq of AHSS lower the thickness of ED coat of AHSS. Some elements of AHSS such as silicon, if it is concentrated on the surface, affect negatively the formation of phosphates. In this case, silicon itself doesn't affect the phosphate, but its oxide does. This phenomenon is shown dramatically in the welding area. Arc welding or laser welding melts the base material. In the process of cooling of AHSS melt, the oxides of Si and Mn are easily concentrated on the surface of boundary between welded and non‐welded area because Si and Mn could be oxidized easier than Fe. More oxide on surface results in poor phosphating and ED coating. This is more distinctive in AHSS than in mild steel. General results on paintability of AHSS would be reported, being compared to those of mild steel.

콘크리트구조설계기준에서는 철근콘크리트 기둥에서 주철근의 설계기준항복강도를 550 MPa 이하로 규정하고 있다. 이는 철근콘크리트 기둥에 주철근으로 고강도 철근(high-strength concrete)을 사용할 때 콘크리트가 압축강도에 도달하여도 주철근이 항복변형률에 도달하지 않아 고강도 철근을 효율적으로 사용할 수 없기 때문이다. 철근의 설계기준항복강도 제한의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법으로는 횡구속력(confinement effect)을 가해주는 방법과 콘크리트의 파괴변형률(peak strain)을 증진시켜주는 방법이 있다. 횡구속을 효과적으로 가하는 방법으로서 원형 단면의 철근보다는 판재를 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 이 연구에서는 가공이 용이한 판재로서 탄소섬유판을 철근콘크리트 기둥에서 횡구속효과를 위한 구조재료로 사용하였을 경우 보강되지 않은 경우보다 증진된 압축강도 및 축압축 파괴변형률을 보였으며, 콘크리트 단면 형상이 원형에 가까울수록, 횡구속 형태가 원형에 가까울수록 횡구속 효과는 더욱 커졌다. 최종적으로 실험 결과를 토대로 철근콘크리트 기둥에서 탄소섬유판에 의한 횡구속 효과와 함께 고강도 철근의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.
