자동차 범퍼시스템은 자동차의 외형을 결정할 뿐만 아니라 충격으로부터 차체와 보행자를 보호하는 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 범퍼시스템을 해석하기 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션이나 충격테스트에 의존하지 않고 효과적으로 범퍼시스템을 설계하기 위한 설계기술을 개발하였다. 이를 위해서 차체를 외부 충격으로부터 보호하기 위해 충분한 강도 및 강성을 확보해야 한다는 것과 동시에 충돌 시 보행자 보호를 위해 충분한 연성을 확보해야 하는 조건을 만족시킬 수 있는 빔의 단면과 폼의 두께 또는 물성을 결정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 설계자가 설계 초기단계에서 위의 제약 조건들을 만족하는 최적의 범퍼구조를 신속하게 결정할 수 있는 신뢰성 있는 설계기술을 개발하였다.

Curvature extrusion process has several advantages in comparison to the conventional extrusion and bending process. In the curvature extrusion, the extruded part is directly bent during extrusion. Therefore, it does not need additional bending process after extrusion. In the curvature extrusion process, it is possible to produce curved extruded products that have a constant or various curvatures. It is essential that we predict the curvatures of the extruded product to meet the required curvatures. This paper proposed a theoretical model that can predict the curvature of extruded product produced by the curvature extrusion process. Using the proposed model the movement of guide tool that causes the bending of extruded product was controlled to produce the required curved automotive Al bumper back beam. The effectiveness of the proposed prediction model and the movement of guide tool were verified by the FE analysis and curved extrusion experiment.

본 연구에서는 머신 러닝을 통해 하중 유형에 따른 구간을 나누어 각 하중 유형에 강한 적층 각도 순서가 배치되는 PIC 설계 방법이 범퍼 빔에 적용되었다. 머신 러닝을 적용하기 위한 학습 데이터의 입력 값과 라벨은 각각 전체 요소 중 일부인 참조 요소의 좌표와 하중 유형으로 정의되었다. 좌표 값을 나타내는 방법인 2D 표현 방법과 3D 표현 방법을 비교하기 위하여 각각의 방법으로 학습 데이터 생성 및 머신 러닝 모델이 학습되었다. 2D 표현 방법은 유한요소 모델을 각 면으로 나누고 그에 따른 학습 데이터 생성 및 머신 러닝 모델을 학습시키는 방법이며, 3D 표현 방법은 유한요소 모델 전체에서 학습 데이터를 생성하여 하나의 머신 러닝 모델을 학습시키는 방법이다. 머신 러닝 모델의 성능에 영향을 미치는 하이퍼파라미터는 베이지안 알고리즘을 통해 최적 값으로 튜닝되었으며, 튜닝 된 모델 중 k-NN 분류 방법이 가장 높은 예측률과 AUC-ROC로 나타났다. 그리고 2D 표현 방법과 3D 표현 방법 중 3D 표현 방법이 더 높은 성능을 보였다. 튜닝 된 머신 러닝 모델을 통해 예측된 하중 유형 데이터가 유한요소 모델에 매핑되었으며, 유한요소 해석을 통해 비교 검증되었다. 3D 표현 방법의 머신 러닝 모델로 설계된 PIC 방법이 강도 측면에서 더 우수함이 검증되었다.

Hydro-forming is being employed increasingly to realize lightweight vehicular parts. The bumper beam produced by this process weighs 30% less than the conventional products with equal stiffness. However, hydro-forming involves complex parameters to obtain the target geometry and low residual stress. Parametric studies are conducted using finite element analysis to obtain optimized process conditions. Through these numerical approaches, the internal and holding pressures and feeder forward stroke along the extruded direction are optimized to achieve low residual stress and to minimize springback. The numerical results are verified by experimental observations made by employing a three-dimensional laser scanner. The numerical and experimental results are compared in terms of the springback. Both results show similar tendencies.

In the present study, the low speed (4 km/h) crash behaviour of an aluminium bumper system was characterised by FE analyses based on the FMVSS 581, which regulates automotive bumpers. Two types of cross-sectional designs, i.e., Model 1, which contains a single rib and Model 2, double ribs, have been considered along with Al7021, 6082 and 6060 for the aluminium bumper back beam. Variations in thickness starting from 2 to 4 mm of the bumper system cross-section in the FE model was implemented in order to investigate the thickness effect on the bumper's crash behaviour.. Three kinds of design variables, namely, number of ribs, material and thickness, are considered. The FE analysis results are summarised with the maximum load and the Specific Energy Absorption (SEA) since they are the key factors in determining the crashworthiness of automotive structures. The results may also be able to indicate how to achieve lightweight structure of the automotive bumper system either directly or indirectly.

Today's automotive industry is evolving toward low-emissions or zero-emissions high-efficiency vehicles. Highly efficient power sources are required, as well as high strength steels for various parts to increase safety. In this study, we investigated the roll-forming process for the development of high strength, lightweight steel bumper beams. The roll-forming process was analyzed using the software package Shape-RF in combination with a rigid-plastic finite element method model. An optimal roll-forming process based on roll-pass was obtained using finite element method simulations.

Due to the increasing competition, automotive manufacturers have to manufacture highly safe and light vehicles. The parts which make up the body of the vehicle and absorb the energy in case of a crash, are usually manufactured with sheet metal forming methods such as deep drawing, bending, trimming and spinning. The part may get thinner, thicker, folded, teared, wrinkled and spring back based on the manufacturing conditions during manufacturing and the type of application methods. Transferring these effects which originate from the forming process to the crash simulations that are performed for vehicle safety simulations, makes accurate and reliable results possible. As a part of this study, firstly, the one-step and incremental sheet metal forming analysis (deep drawing + trimming + spring back) of vehicle front bumper beam and crash boxes were conducted. Then, crash performances for cases with and without the effects of sheet metal forming were assessed in the crash analysis of vehicle front bumper beam and crash box. It was detected that the parts absorbed 12.89% more energy in total in cases where the effect of the forming process was included. It was revealed that forming history has a significant effect on the crash performance of the vehicle parts.

Recently, the roll forming process is one of the most widely used processes for manufacturing automotive part. In this study, flower patterns of roll forming process were designed to manufacture an ultra high strength bumper beam using the finite element analysis. Three types of flower patterns such as the basic type, the rotation type and the split type were designed based on the constant arc length forming method using the design software, UBECO Profil. Finite element analysis was performed to evaluate the suitability of designed flower patterns in terms of the longitudinal strain and the bow defect. The analytical results show that the split type represents more uniform longitudinal strain distributions and a good dimensional accuracy than other types of flower patterns.
