Recently, aluminum is widely used to reduce the vehicle weight. Aluminum curved extruded products are used for the design of automotive frame parts. This study focuses on the determination of process condition fur automotive bumper beam with various curvatures. In this study, a curvature prediction model has been proposed considering the geometric relationship and the characteristic of the curvature extrusion equipment. Using the proposed model and FE analysis, the appropriated process condition was determined to produce the bumper beam. Finally, curvature extrusion experiment was carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed curvature prediction model and the process condition.

The CO$_2$ laser beam irradiation strengthening of 35kgf/mm$_2$ grade steel sheet is investigated to reduce the weight of bumper beam. The increase of tensile strength is dominated by the number of fully penetrated melting lines. The optimal laser irradiation pattern is obtained by 3-point bending test of hat-type specimens. Laser should be irradiated not only on the center specimen densely in the width direction, but also on the edge densely in the longitudinal direction. Local laser strengthening may be effective for the weight reduction of automobile bumper beam.

This study is to calculate the Real-Time Overlapped Area of ellipses with weight by Ship's Bumper Theory. In this paper, The Real-Time Overlapped Area of ellipses with weight can be used the important tool to feel the perceived risk evaluation by navigator. In this paper, through how to feel the risk of collision between the vessels in advance, We will study the technique to certify the perceived risk of collision from several different angles.

Roll forming process for the bumper beam of high strength steel is developed by an experimental method. The size of the bumper beam is reduced to 1/1.8 to save development time and cost. The developed forming rolls are installed in the small three-stage roll forming machine and roll forming experiments are carried out. It is found that the experimental method using small forming machine is effective in developing roll forming process for the bumper beam of high strength steel.

In roll forming process, a sheet metal is continuously progressively formed into a product with required cross-section and longitudinal shape, such as a circular tube with required diameter, wall-thickness and straightness, by passing through a series of forming rolls in arranged in tandem. Tn this process, each pair of forming rolls installed in a forming machine play a particular role in making up the required cross-section and longitudinal shape of the product. In recent years, that process is often applied to the bumper rail in the automotive industries. In this study, a optimal Front Bumper Beam manufacturing technology, model deign and proper roll-pass sequences can be suggested by forming number of roll-pass and bending angle. And also effects of the process parameters on the final shape formed by roll forming defects were evaluated.

In the mixed dentition, many children have mild crowding of anterior dentition on the mandibular arch and mesial tilting of mandibular molar. Lip bumper have been used to gain arch length for the alignment of mild to moderate crowded dental arches. As such, they may provide an alternative to extraction therapy. The claimed therapeutic effect of the lip bumper is bodily forward incisor movement, flaring of the lower incisors, and distal tipping of the molar. The dental changes can be attributed to removal of lip pressure on the lower anterior dentition and the distal forces exerted at the molar abutment. The purpose of this study is to show more easily method of treatment for mild anterior crowding of mandible.

Consistent efforts have been made to reduce the weight of automotive parts by using lightweight materials. This has resulted in the replacement of conventional steels in car body structures with high-strength steels, and the current usage rate has reached 50%. This study examines the structural stiffness and energy absorption capability of bumper beams made of high-strength steels. New types of bumper beam cross sections are proposed.The structural stiffness and maximum bending force were computed via finite element analysis as about 25tons and 7.5tons/mm, and there were no significant differences among the proposedcross sections. Dynamic analysis was also carried out to investigate the energy absorption capabilities of the bumper beams, and the effects of materials and thickness reduction were analyzed. High-strength steel can be used to achieve weight reduction with comparable structural performance to conventional bumper beams.

In this study, the life evaluation due to the structural configuration of bumper attached at the front side of ATV vehicle is studied on the basis of fatigue analysis. As the purpose of this study, the characteristic of bumper exposed on the repetitive loading condition like the vibration is understood. The position of crack happened at the fatigue situation is grasped in advance and complemented in advance. It is considered that the multipurpose vehicle is designed to not be driven on the paved general road but the rough road like the unpaved load. And the weak part of bumper is understood through the study of life evaluation on this driving environment. The durability can be improved by doing the safe design of automotive bumper on the basis of the analysis result. And it is possible to be grafted onto the convergence technique at design and show the esthetic sense.
