  • Engineering and Technology have been influencing a lot in the field of sports. Competitiveness, attributes of sports, have forced not only sports players but sports goods to enhance those performance. Particularly in the field of motorsports, the convergence of sports and technology has long been done to satisfy between performance and safety. In this study, strength analysis was carried with FEM to develop CFRP Laminate(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic Laminate) bucket seat targeted to motorsports and car tuning industries and FIA($F\acute{e}d\acute{e}ration$ Internationale de l'Automobile) regulation was applied to design the racing seat and evaluate its strength. FEM modeling considered the attributes of composites was followed by strength evaluation based on Tsai-Wu failure index were done according to Lay-up sequence and layer numbers. The result showed that the lay-up sequence with stacking angle such as $[0^{\circ}/30^{\circ}/60^{\circ}/90^{\circ}/-30^{\circ}/-60^{\circ}]_4$ with 3mm form core was optimal selection in the field of weight and strength evaluation.

  • 차량 충돌시 자동차의 시트는 승객 및 운전자를 보호해야 한다. 따라서 자동차시트는 충분한 강도를 가져야 하며 이것은 여러 가지 법규에 의해서 제재되고 있다. 물리적 실험 결과가 법규에 정한 규정치를 만족시키기 위해 과대설계 될 수 있다. 그러나 이것은 연비를 줄이기 위한 경량화의 만족이라는 설계요구에 상충한다. 본 논문에서는 헤드레스트 강도시험을 시뮬레이션하고 과대 설계되어 있다고 판단되는 어퍼암을 최적화 모델로 최적설계를 수행하였다. 순차 이차 계획법인 PLBA 알고리즘과 민감도 해석을 위하여 직접근사해석법을 사용하였다.

  • 일반적으로 기계부품의 설계는 부품의 설계, 해석, 그리고 시제품에 대한 성능변화를 통해서 수행된다. 이와 같은 방식의 설계는 여러 번의 시행착오에 따른 개발경비와 개발기간이 많이 소요되고 각 단계를 수행시킬 전문인력도 필요하므로 현재 산업현장에서 요구되는 신속하고 저렴한 제품개발에 적합하지 않다. 이를 해결할 수 있는 한 가지 방법으로 각 개발과정을 하나의 시스템에서 제어할 수 있는 통합시스템을 개발하는 것이다. 이런 통합시스템은 특정 제품에 대한 전용시스템이 될 가능성이 크지만 통합시스템을 구축하는 기법은 일반적인 제품들에 대해서도 적용이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 자동차의 부품 중에서 좌석의 프레임 설계를 수행하는 통합시스템을 구축한다. 자동차 좌석은 법규에 규정되어 있는 강도와 강성을 만족해야 하므로 본 통합시스템에서는 정적조건 강도시험인 헤드레스트 테스트를 통해서 좌석을 설계한다. 그리고 통합시스템은 UNIX환경에서 C언어를 이용해 좌석 모델의 생성과 정적 성능평가를 수행할 상용프로그램들을 제어하며, 그래픽 환경은 Motif로 구현한다.

  • This paper describes the design, fabrication and characteristics of a piezoelectric valve using MCA(Multilayer ceramic actuator). The MCA valve, which has the buckling effect, consists of three separate structures; MCA, a valve actuator die and an a seat die. The design of the actuator die was done by FEM modeling and displacement measurement, respectively. The valve seat die with 6 trenches was made, and the actuator die, which is driven to MCA under optimized conditions, was also fabricated. After Si-wafer direct bonding between the seat die and the actuator die, MCA was also anodic bonded to the seat/actuator die structure. PDMS sealing pad was fabricated to minimize a leak-rate. It was also bonded to seat die and SUS package. The MCA valve shows a flow rate of 9.13 sccm at a supplied voltage of 100 V with a 50 % duty cycle, maximum non-linearity was 2.24 % FS and leak rate was $3.03{\times}10^{-8}\;pa{\cdot}m^3/cm^2$. Therefore, the fabricated MCA valve is suitable for a variety of flow control equipment, a medical bio-system, automobile and air transportation industry.

  • As the number of automobile registrations increases and luxury expectations grow, consumers are increasingly interested in indoor environment of vehicles. Therefore, manufacturers have an increasing interest in improving the indoor comfort as well as automobile performance. Research on indoor automobile comfort can help manufacturers increase driver satisfaction and reduce driver stress and discomfort, thereby reducing the risk of traffic accidents. Using electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements, we investigated the change in comfort and comfortable temperature according to the ventilating seat temperature change for both men and women. Results showed that the sensation of comfort was statistically significantly higher at 25℃ than at 28℃. Secondly, there was no statistically significant difference in temperature-based comfort feeling between male and female subjects. In the future, if the correlation between the driver's comfort feeling and the change in ventilating seat temperature is analyzed, it is possible to reduce traffic accidents caused by human error and reduce the electric energy consumption of the automobile.

  • The design of automobile occupant seat belt system has been studied by using MADYMO. Based on the FMVSS 208 (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 208) and the USNCAP (United States New Car Assessment Program) regulations, seat belt design parameters were chosen for the design improvement to the 5th percentile female dummy: limit force of load limiter, time to fire of shoulder belt, inlet length of shoulder belt, inlet length of lap belt. The design of experiment method was employed to optimize the design parameters of passenger seat belt. Range of injury probability due to the change of H-point position was estimated by the simulation.
