Stainless steel has widely been used in various industrial fields because it has high corrosion resistance. But, we have little design data about the creep life prediction of SUS316L stainless steel. Therefore, in this study, a series of creep tests and study on them under 16 constant stress and temperature combined conditions have been performed to get the creep design data and life prediction of SUS316L stainless steels and we have gotten the following results. First, the stress exponents decrease as the test temperatures increase. Secondly, the creep activation energy gradually decreases as the stresses become bigger. Thirdly, the constant of Larson-Miller parameters on this alloy is estimated about 10. And last, the creep rupture fractographs show the intergranular ductile fracture with many dimples.

Design capability for high safety vehicle with light weight is crucial to enhancing competitive power in vehicle market. The structural foam can contribute to restraining section distortion in body members undergoing bending collapse at vehicle crash. In this study, first, the validation of analysis model including structural foam model for simulating fracture behavior was discussed, and the bending collapse characteristics of five representative section types were analyzed and compared. Next, with changing the laminate foam shape, load carrying capability and absorbed energy were observed. The results suggests a design strategy of body members filled with laminate foam, leading to effectively elevating bending collapse characteristics with weight increase in the minimum.

For application of advanced high strength hot-rolled steels (i.e. DP590, DP780) to automotive lightweight chassis parts, various technologies from design to forming test, optimization of welding condition and investigation of coating properties were tried. The target part of this study was automotive rear sub frame and we could make $16.8\%$ weight reduction by reducing the material thickness and optimizing the design. In addition, the formability and weldability of the newly developed AHSS, DP780, were evaluated.

A hybrid type automotive drivers seat was invented with new concepts for the reduction of weight and manufacturing costs. Fundamental studies were performed to determine the basic geometry of reinforcing support. A prototypical design was provided by the manufacturer considering compatibility with other parts. Several structural analyses simulating various crash situations were performed and modifications were continued until a final design was reached. A sample product was manufactured and sled crash tests were performed to verify the safety of the seat. Comparisons of test results with the previous model and a seat from another company proved safety performances to be superior.

This study is the first step for the grasp of transfer path to the vibration generated from the automotive engine and consideration of counterplan for optimal design and low vibration, low noise of the exhaust system. In this study, by applying the theory of modal analysis and experiment, vibrational reduction effect is evaluated according to the attachment of flexible coupling to the exhaust system. And data for the design is suggested to improve the characteristics of vibration. The vibration isolation and damping characteristics are improved due to the attachment of flexible coupling to the exhaust system. As a result, it is identified that flexible coupling which has good flexibility is more effective for the improvement of vibrational characteristics. By the estimation of modeshape of vibration, the location of optimal damping hanger is determined in the viewpoint of vibration isolation. Also it is confirmed that the characteristics of vibration is improved due to the attachment of damping hanger.

Automotive inverters may require current sensors for motor torque control, especially, in applications of hybrid electric vehicles or fuel cell vehicles. In this paper, to achieve a compact, integrated and low cost current sensor, a hall current sensor without magnetic core is introduced for integrating an automotive inverter. The compactness of the current sensor is possible by using integrated magnetic concentrators based on the Hall effect. Magnetic fields caused by three-phase currents are analyzed and a magnetic shield design is proposed for decoupling the cross-coupled field. It offers galvanic isolation, wide bandwidth (>100kHz), and accuracy(< 1%). Using 2D FEM analysis, its performance is demonstrated with design parameters at a U-shaped magnetic shield. The proposed coreless current sensor is tested with rated current to validate the linearity and accuracy.

This paper presents the effect of the component performance for mat supported monolithic cordierite ceramic underflow catalytic converters to meet the new stringent durability requirements of the world's. These objectives are met by a conceptional system approach of mat mounting material with stainless steel can(shall), and heatshield(cover), which are related to the mat erosion, a main failure pattern of the mat supported monolithic ceramic catalytic converters. In this paper we study the individual component behavior of mat erosion problem, After studying, we obtain the characterics of the component performance for automotive catalytic converters and the overall understanding of design considerations in catalytic converters.

Optimum cross-sectional shape of an automotive disc brake was developed based on FEM thermal analyses and the Taguchi method. Frictional heat flux and convection heat transfer coefficients were first calculated using equations and applied to the disc to calculate accurate temperature distribution and thermal deformations under realistic braking conditions. Maximum stress was generated in an area with highest temperature under pads and near the hat of ventilated disc and vanes. The SN ratio from Taguchi method and MINITAB was applied to obtain the optimum cross-sectional design of a disc brake on the basis of thermal deformations. The optimum cross-section of a disc can reduce thermal deformation by 15.2 % compared to the initial design.

Reverse engineering techniques using 3D scanners and 3D printing technologies are being used in various industries. In this paper, the three-dimensional model is designed for automotive hub parts through 3D scanning and reverse engineering, and the design of hub parts is intended to be printed on FDM-style 3D printers to measure and analyze the dimensions of hub parts designed for reverse design and 3D printed hub parts. Experimental result have shown that the dimensions of 3D printed hub parts are small compared to those of the reverse-engineered dimensions, which are due to the shrinkage of filament materials in 3D printing.

Many companies in mechanical engineering fields have accumulated information of design and manufacturing. The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Product Data Management (PDM) systems help information gathering and data managing. However, these systems are not flexible to support suitable functionality for specific product because these systems deal with entire enterprise resources. To cope with this issue, a web-based design support system was constructed for the design process of automotive steel pulley. This system provided 1) search service for part design with key word and clustering map, and 2) estimation service of maximum stress. These services reduced design time by reducing iterative jobs with Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) for stress analysis, and by enhancing search for existing data of steel pulley.
