The shape of the blank greatly affects the formability and quality of the product after the stamping process. In this study, the geometry of the B-Pillar blank in the stamping process was optimized using design of experiments. The geometry of the blank for the B-pillar was simplified with the two length values and two radius values. The effects of design variables were studied through the Design of experiments. The stamping process of the B-pillar was predicted with the Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The optimized blank geometry was obtained. It results in the reduced maximum equivalent plastic strain. The local necking and the wrinkling did not occurred with the optimized blank geometry.

In the present day, the needs of new steel for lightweight car-body have been increased in the automotive industry. however, the resistance spot welding is difficult to apply to the new steel because of the narrow weld current range and defects. As the solutions to these problems, adhesive bonding process is proposed. Adhesive bonding which reduce noise and vibration can be applied to joining the new steel. In this study, crash tests of b-pillar applied the resistance spot welding, structural adhesive bonding, the mixture of the structural adhesives and resistance spot welding were performed. And FEM crash model for b-pillar applied the structural adhesive bonding was developed. The results of experiment and analysis on b-pillar crash test were compared to verify the validity.

본 논문은 차량에 사용되는 B필러의 강화재를 기존의 스틸 소재에서 CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics)와 GFRP(Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastics)로 대체하여 경량화하는 것이 목표다. 이를 위해서는 무게는 감소시키면서 기존 B필러를 대체할 수 있는 구조안정성을 확보해야 한다. 기존 B필러는 스틸 아우터(outer)를 포함하여 다양한 형상의 스틸 강화재로 구성되며, 이와 같은 스틸 강화재 중 2가지의 스틸 강화재를 복합재로 대체하고자 한다. 이와 같은 스틸 강화재는 강화재 각각을 따로 제작하여 용접을 통해 결합되지만, 복합재 강화재는 패치(patch) 형태의 CFRP와 리브(rib) 구조의 GFRP를 활용하여 압축과 사출 공정을 통해 한번에 제작된다. CFRP는 B필러의 고강도부에 부착되어 측면 하중에 저항하도록 하였으며, GFRP 리브는 위상 최적화(Topology optimization) 기법을 통해 비틀림과 측면 하중을 저항하도록 설계하였다. 구조해석을 통해 기존 스틸 강화재와 비교 분석을 수행하였고, 경량화율을 산출하였다.

The body structure of a bus is generally assembled by using various spot welded box sectional members. The shape of window pillar joint is ordinarily built up by T-type member. It has been shown that T-type member has problems like high stress concentrations, low fatigue strength and low structural rigidity. In this study, to solve these problems a new approach to optimize the design of the bus window pillar joint was tried by FEM analysis and experiments. To describe the shape of the gusset connecting the vertical and horizontal members of the T-type window pillar joint B-spline curve was adopted and this curve was optimized . It was found that the new model developed could effectively improve fatigue durability an structural rigidity.

Wrinkles and shape distortions are generated during the forming of B-pillar(or center pillar) which is a component of the automobile side-frame. The stretch flanging modes at the joining part of the B-pillar and the roof-rail or the side-still give rise to forming problems when taior-welded blanks are applied to the side-frames. The authors simplified B-pillar lower part to T shaped section to investigate the forming behaviors. Three of die step locations and two of blank types were tested to show the effects of weld line locations and edge conditions on he forming of tailor welded blanks. The heights of body wrinkles and the strain distribution in the stretch flanged area were measured and compared.

This paper presents the pillar section optimization technique considering the reliability of the vehicle body structure consisted of complicated thin-walled panels. The response surface method is utilized to obtain the response surface models that describe the approximate performance functions representing the system characteristics on the section properties of the pillar and on the mass and the natural frequencies of the vehicle B.I.W. The reliability-based design optimization on the pillar sections Is performed and compared with the conventional deterministic optimization. The FORM is applied for the reliability analysis of the vehicle body structure. The developed optimization system is applied to the pillar section design considering the fundamental natural frequencies of passenger car body structure. By applying the proposed RBDO technique, it can be possible to optimize the pillar sections considering the reliability that engineers require.

본 연구는 길이에 따른 사각 기둥 타입을 변수로 선정하여 각각의 길이 패턴을 지닌 고체 표면에서의 물 액적 젖음 특성을 분자 동역학을 이용하여 규명하였다. 기둥의 표면 형상을 정사각형과 직사각형의 형태로 가정하였고, 정해진 형상에서의 표면 면적을 증가시켰다. 정사각형 형상의 경우 각 변의 길이가 $4.24{\AA}$, $8.48{\AA}$, $12.72{\AA}$로 증가하였으며, 직사각형 형상의 경우 고정된 한 변은 $8.48{\AA}$의 길이를 가지며 다른 한 변의 길이는 $4.24{\AA}$, $8.48{\AA}$, $12.72{\AA}$로 증가하였다. 이러한 길이 변화를 통해 사각기둥 표면형상의 변화 및 전체 고체표면의 면적 대비 기둥이 차지하는 면적의 비율에 따른 물 액적의 변화를 살펴보고, 표면과 물 액적과의 접촉각을 측정하여 비교 분석하였다.
