Recent automotive market is changing rapidly with eco-friendly, fuel-efficient, unmanned autonomous. In order to grow domestic automotive industry, various companies such as IT, marketing, advertising/PR, production/manufacturing, distribution have to need the fused global value chain(GVC) production system. The purpose of this study is that Small parts makers will look for support measures to enter the GVC of global automakers. To this end, to examine the status and cooperation between vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers in GVC. Part SMEs will look for Realistic and possible support policy direction needed to enter the carmakers GVC. In order that the small parts company have to enter the GVC of the car manufacturers in the automotive industry, the small parts company should understand the nature and governance of large corporations that operate the GVC, and develop a tailored strategy.

These days, the aerospace industry uses larger machining parts and assembly parts than those in the past. The assembly machines also show the same trend. This study is concerned with the alignment measuring apparatus for the B-axis of a separated multi-axis machine. The alignment measuring apparatus is widely installed for assembly machines in the aircraft assembly process. The alignment measuring apparatus consists of a swivel part and a measuring part. This is a new conceptual idea under patent. All elements of the alignment measuring apparatus are analyzed with the FEM. The analyzed result shows that the alignment measuring apparatus is high in accuracy with stability and steady deformation.

Tube bending is one of the conventional manufacturing process. Recently, tube bending was highlighted in automotive industry by hydroforming. Tube hydroforming process is divided into pre-bending process and hydroforming process. It's initial state is very important in die cavity of first hydroforming process. So tube bending is important factor of the hydroforming process. In this paper, two pre-bending simulations, by a rotary draw bending machine and a bend die. This paper presents the simulation results in pre-bending process that is used to form an automotive part, tie-bar.

Recently incremental sheet metal forming (ISF) has used widely in making prototypes and small-volume products in automotive industry etc. We apply the ISF to make a 1/4 sized automobile body-in-white. First, ISF tests for rectangular shaped cup have been performed to clarify the formability denoting the relationship between the component wall angle and maximum cup height of safe forming. Next, a CAD model for the automobile was designed and segmented into several components in order to accommodate the working space of the CNC machine we adopted and the formability of the sheet metal. Then, a CAM software was employed to generate the tool path for manufacturing wooden dies and all the small parts. Finally, the different parts were joined into a single component by laser welding after the ISF process. By using the ISF we successfully produced the 1/4 sized automobile body-in-white.

Currently, in automobile industry. the efforts to reduce the manufacturing cost by changing the process of manufacturing are continually performed. In this paper, we proposed a new manufacturing process, the roll bending of a ring plate of automotive fuel tank instead of conventional press blanking process to reduce material loss and manufacturing cost. Finite element analysis was used to optimize the roll bending process to assure rectangular cross-section of the ring plate. Also, spring-back analysis after the roll bending was performed and dimension of the bending die considering spring-back was analyzed. Finally, we verified a possibility for realization of the proposed method shape with prototypes.

In this paper, an in-plane deformation measuring system using a dual-beam shear interferometer was constructed to measure the in-plane deformation of the measuring object. The in-plane deformation of the object was quantitatively measured according to the load and surface treatment conditions of the object. We also verified the reliability of the proposed technique by simultaneously performing the technique with an electronic speckle pattern interferometry system (ESPI), which is another laser application measurement technology. Digital shearography directly measures the deformation gradient or strain components and has the advantages of being full-field, noncontact, highly sensitive, and robust. It offers a much higher measurement sensitivity compared with noncoherent measurement methods and is more robust and applicable to in-field tests.

In designing full vehicle, crash safety, fuel efficiency, exhaust gas, and driving stability are very important factors. Especially, automotive wheel which supports total vehicle weight is a critical component in view of driving stability. Most of automotive wheel have been manufactured for beautiful appearance by using aluminum alloy in domestic industry. However, the amount of automotive steel wheel used are on an increasing trend according to developing the advanced high strength steel with good formability property recently. In this study, the circumferential deviation of rim with various thickness and yield strength was investigated. The formability evaluation of the rim was developed by using a finite element module furnished by Forge software.

The automotive industry is moving from the internal combustion engine to electric drive motors. Electric motors uses a high voltage system requiring the development of resources and components to shield the system. Therefore, in this study, we analyze electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) characteristics of an auto crash pad according to the ratio of electrically conductive materials and propylene. In order to combine good mechanical characteristics and electromagnetic shielding of the automotive crash pad, metal-coated glass fiber (MGF) manufacturing methods are introduced and compared with powder-type methods. Through this study, among MGF methods, we suggest that the chopping method is the most effective shielding method.

Self-piercing rivets are often used in the automotive industry, among other industries, as mechanical components to join multiple materials such as aluminum alloys. Self-piercing rivets have a strong sealing property, although there is considerable scope for their performance improvement. In this study, to enhance the performance of self-piercing rivets, the hybrid self-piercing riveting (SPR) technique, using the existing SPR and structural adhesive, was proposed. Moreover, heterogeneous material specimens subjected to the hybrid SPR technique were manufactured and tested. The joint strength of the test pieces of different materials was evaluated through finite element analyses.
