A graphic vehicle modeling pre-processing program and a visualization post-processing program have been developed for AutoDyn7, which is a special program for vehicle dynamics. The Rapid-App for GUI(Graphic User Interface) builder and the Open Inventor for 3D graphic library have been employed to develop these programs in Silicon Graphics workstation. A Graphic User Interface program integrates vehicle modeling pre-processor, AutoDyn7 analysis processor, and visualization post-processor. In vehicle modeling pre-processor, vehicle hard point data for a suspension model are automatically converted into multibody vehicle system data. An interactive graphics capabilities provides suspension modeling aides to verify user input data interactively. In visualization post-processor, vehicle virtual test simulation results are animated with virtual testing environments.

In multibody dynamic analysis including contact and impact, there are two major analysis methods, i.e., piecewise analysis and continuous analysis. Modeling of contact phenomena is mainly classified with a Kelvin-Voigt model or a model of Hertz contact model. In this paper, a contact module fur AutoDyn7 program was developed and implemented. Both the Kelvin-Voigt model and a model of Hertz contact law were developed. The process of this module is composed of contact distinction and the contact force calculation. Two examples were verified and compared to the commercial program DADS.

In multibody dynamic analysis, one of the most important problems is to reduce computation times for real time simulation. In this paper, a symbolic computation method is implemented and tested for each dynamic analysis step. Applying symbolic formulations to the vehicle dynamics program AutoDyn7, the effectiveness of the symbolic computation method is verified.

In this paper, several tire models (Magic formula, Carpet plot, VA tire, DADS tire and STI tire) are implemented and compared. Since the STI (System Technology Inc.) tire model in the AutoDyn7 program is in a good agreement to NADSdyna STI tire model and experiment, it is selected as a reference tire model for the comparison. To compare tire models, input parameters of each tire model are extracted from the STI tire model to preserve the same tire properties. Several simulations are carried out to compare performances of tire models, i. e., bump simulation, lane change simulation, and pulse steering simulation. The performances in vehicle maneuverability are also compared with the four parameter evaluation method.

In many papers, the powertrain system generally has been madeled as one-dimensional torque model. One-dimensional powertrain model may calculate the torque correctly but it does not consider the non-rotational degrees-of-freedom of the powertrain components and the interaction of these degrees-of-freedom with the vehicle body frame and suspension. To consider the non-rotational degrees of freedom, the differential is modeled as a three-dimensional rigid body in this paper. A constant velocity joint is newly formulated and a relative constraint is also formulated to model the motion transfer due to gear ratio of the differential. Implementing the proposed powertrain system in the multibody model, more detail dynamic responses can be obtained. Obtained outputs such as reaction torques on the constant velocity joint and reaction forces on the rack can be useful data in the design of a powertrain.

To analyze the effects of the front and rear roll stabilizer bar, five different models of roll stabilizer bar are simulated in this paper. It is shown that the stiffness change of the roll stabilizer bar is an effective way to alter the vehicle's roll gradient. Attaching an actuator at the roll stabilizer bar the vehicle's roll gradient can be controlled within error limits.

In this paper, a full vehicle model is developed to analyze toe and camber changes due to rack height variation and compliance. The AutoDyn7 program developed in G7 project is used for the computer simulation. Steady state cornering test was done to find the understeer gradient. Imposing a pulse steer input, Frequency Response Function(FRF) of yaw rate and lateral accelerations were evaluated. To verify the stability, the rhombus using four parameters is employed. Steer characteristics were evaluated by changing the rack height and the bushing lateral stiffiness. which installed between the low control arm and the chassis.

The purpose of this study is to design a model with the structural stability so as not to lose the operational function due to structural plastic or fail of a sliding blast door by blast pressure to this aim, a numerical simulation was performed using full-size experiments and M&S (Modeling & Simulation) of the sliding blast door. The sliding blast door ($W3,000{\times}H2,500mm$) under the blast load is in the form of a sliding type 2-way metal grill, which was applied by a design blast pressure (reflected pressure $P_r$) of 17 bar. According to the experimental results of a real sliding blast door under blast load, the blast pressure reached the sliding blast door approximately 4.3 ms after the explosion and lasted about 4.0 ms thereafter. The maximum blast pressure($P_r$) was 347.7 psi (2,397.3 kPa), it is similar to the UFC 3-340-02 of Parameter(91 %). In addition, operation inspection that was conducted for the sliding blast door after real test showed a problem of losing the door opening function, which was because of the fail of the Reversal Bolt that was installed to prevent the shock due to rebound of the blast door from the blast pressure. According to the reproduction of the experiment through M&S by applying the blast pressure measurement value of the full-size experiments, the sliding blast door showed a similar result to the full-size experiment in that the reversal bolt part failed to lose the function. In addition, as the pressure is concentrated on the failed reversal bolt, the Principal Tensile Failure Stress was exceeded in only 1.25 ms after the explosion, and the reversal bolt completely failed after 5.4 ms. Based on the result of the failed reversal bolt through the full-size experiment and M&S, the shape and size of the bolts were changed to re-design the M&S and re-analyze the sliding blast door. According to the M&S re-analysis result when the reversal bolt was designed in a square of 25 mm ($625mm^2$), the maximum pressure that the reversal bolt receives showed 81% of the principal tensile failure stress of the material, in plastic stage before fail.

This paper was aimed to study the effects of Cobalt-60 gamma ray irradiation on Albino rat blood cells and the activity of enzymes were measured using blood cell auto analyzer (Cell-Dyn 900) and enzyme autoanalyzer (Gilford 3500) respectively. Cobalt-60 gamma rays those are grouped into 200R, 400R, 600R, 800R, 1,000R, 1,200R, 1,300R, 1,400R, 1,500R and 1,600R to the rats of male and female and measured the numeral varieties of blood corpuscles of the rats and the active varieties of enzyme of acid, alkaline phosphatase (ACP, ALP), lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase. (GPT) those came out after 1, 3, 5 or 7 days. The results are summarized as follows: 1. In both case of male and female, the numeral varieties of the erythrocytes, in the 200R group of irradiation showed the minimum value in the 3 days group and a tendency of increase in the 5 and 7 days groups, while the numeral varieties of the leucocytes in every groups of irradiation showed a tendency of a rapid decrease after a day. The numeral varieties of the blood platelet in both case of male and female didn't show generally any great change in a day and 3 days groups, but showed a rapid decreasing appearance after the 5 days. 2. In both case of male and female, the activities of ACP were on the decrease gradually after 3 days of the irradiation and the activities of ALP were on the decrease after 5 days. Similarly in both case of mate and female, the activities of LDH showed the decrease after 3 and 5 days, and the phenomenous of GOT showed an appearance of increase in a day, but decreased after 3 days. As for the GPT activities couldn't find any great change in the male rats in comparison with the control groups, but in the female rats a tendency of the increase in 600R, 800R, 1,000R groups after 3 days. 3. In the case of the irradiation of high quantity of ray more than 1,200R, all rats died after 4 days, and by the irradiation of 1,600R all rats died after 3 days, and it showed the sensitive response of a living body to the irradiation of high quantity.
