In this study, the effects of flexible bodies in vehicle suspension components were investigated to enhance the accuracy of multibody dynamic simulation results. Front and rear suspension components were investigated. Subframes, a stabilizer bar, a tie rod, a front lower control arm, a front knuckle, and front struts were selected. Reverse engineering techniques were used to construct a virtual vehicle model. Hard points and inertia data of the components were measured with surface scanning equipment. The mechanical characteristics of bushings and dampers were obtained from experiments. Reaction forces calculated from the multibody dynamics simulations were compared with test results at the ball joint of the lower control arm in both time-history and range-pair counting plots. Simulation results showed that the flexibility of the strut component had considerable influence on the lateral reaction force. Among the suspension components, the flexibility of the sub-frame, steering knuckle and upper strut resulted in better correlations with test results while the other flexible bodies could be neglected.

Statement of problem : Use of fiber composite technology as well as development of nonmetal implant prosthesis solved many problems due to metal alloy substructure such as corrosion. toxicity, difficult casting, expensiveness and esthetic limit. After clinical and laboratory test, we could find out that fiber-reinforced composite prostheses have good mechanical properties and FRC can make metal-free implant prostheses successful. Purpose : The purpose of this study is to evaluate the flexural strength of implant fixed prosthesis using fiber reinforced composite. Material and methods : 2-implant fixture were placed in second premolar and second molar area in edentulous mandibular model, and their abutments were placed, and bridge prostheses using gold, PFG, Tescera, and Targis Vectris were fabricated. Tescera was made in 5 different designs with different supplements. Group I was composed by 3 bars with diameter 1.0mm and 5 meshes, 2 bars and 5 meshes for Group II, 1 bar and 5 meshes for Group III, and only 5 meshes were used for Group IV. And Group V is composed by only 3 bars. Resin (Tescera) facing was made to buccal part of pontic of gold bridge. All of gold and PFG bridges were made on one model, 5 Targis Vectris bridges were also made on one model, and 25 Tescera bridges were. made on 3 models. Each bridge was attached to the test model by temporary cement and shallow depression was formed near central fossa of the bridge pontic to let 5 mm metal ball not move. Flexual strength was marked in graph by INSTRON. Results : The results of the study are as follows. The initial crack strength was the highest on PFG. and in order of gold bridge Tescera I, Tescera II, Targis vectris, Tescera IV, Tescera III, and Tescera V. The maximum strength was the highest on gold bridge, and in order of PFG, Tescera I, Tescera IV Tescera II, Targis vectris, Tescera III, and Tescera V. Conculsions : The following conclusions were drawn from the results of this study. 1. Flextural strength of implant prosthesis using fiber reinforced composite was higher than average posterior occlusal force. 2. In initial crack strength, Tescera I was stronger than Tescera V, and weaker than PFG. 3. Kinds and number of auxillary components had an effect on maximum strength, and maximum strength was increased as number of auxillary components increased. 4 Maximum strength of Tescera I was higher than Targis vectris, and lower than PFG.

본 연구는 PP 및 CL 섬유 혼입량 변화에 따라 제작한 고성능 K 기둥부재를 대상으로 화재를 상정한 내화시험 후 폭열 방지 및 내화성능을 검토한 것으로, 그 실험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 굳지않은 콘크리트의 특성으로, PP 및 CL섬유 혼입량 증가에 따른 유동성은 섬유의 엉킴현상 등에 의해 플레인보다 저하하였고, 공기량은 다소 증감의 차이는 있으나 모두 목표 공기량의 범위를 만족하였으며, 경화 콘크리트의 압축강도는 섬유 혼입량 변화에 따라 50 MPa 전후의 고강도로 나타났다. 내화시험 후 RC 기둥부재의 폭열특성으로, 섬유를 혼입하지 않은 플레인은 전체적으로 심한 파괴폭열이 발생하여 철근이 노출되었고, PP섬유를 혼입한 경우는 내부 수증기압의 효과적인 배출로 폭열이 방지되었으며, CL섬유는 플레인보다 폭열 방지효과는 있으나, 모서리 부분에서 일부 파괴폭열이 발생하였다. 또한, 내화시험 후 폭열깊이는 표면보다 모서리에서 더 깊게 나타났고, 폭열발생면적율은 폭열방지 성능과 관계하여 PP섬유를 혼입한 경우가 가장 양호하였으며, 중성화깊이는 $6{\sim}8mm$ 전후의 유사한 깊이로 나타났다. 내화시험 후 잔존 압축강도율은 PP섬유를 혼입한 경우 40% 전후로 플레인의 20% 보다 크게 나타났고, CL섬유를 혼입한 경우는 25% 전후로 플레인과 큰 차이가 없었다.
