Usability has become a primary factor in determining the acceptability and consequent success of consumer product. It is common that the product usability is evaluated by objective performance measures and/or subjective user preference measures. This study is concerned with objective evaluation of the product usability using 3-dimensional motion analysis. We evaluated car-audio position using 3-dimensional motion analysis. The parameters investigated in this experiment were height of car-audio, left-right angle, and front-end angle. The experimental results showed that the usability evaluation method using motion analysis was consistent with user's subjective assessment. This objective method can be applied to not only car-audio position evaluation but also various consumer products'usability evaluation.

The type of pedestrian accident can be characterized by vehicular frontal shape and the height of pedestrian. The trajectory of pedestrian after collision by passenger car is different from that by bus due to vehicular frontal shape. The frontal shape of SUV vehicles is dissimilar to passenger car and bus. So, the trajectory and throw distance of pedestrian by SUV vehicles is not the same of passenger car and bus. In this paper, a series of pedestrian kinetic simulation were conducted to inspect the difference in throw distance between SUV vehicle and passenger car and bus by PC-CRASH that is the program for kinetic analysis of articulated body. From the results, if the height of pedestrian is taller than 1.70m, there is no difference in throw distance between SUV vehicle and passenger car, but if the height of pedestrian is about 1.55m throw distance of SUV vehicle is about 4m longer than that of passenger car at each impact speed. The throw distance of pedestrian by Bus is shorter than that of passenger car and SUV at each impact speed.

Aroma-active compounds were evaluated from salt-fermented anchovy sauce by solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-olfactometry (SPME-GC-O) based on sample dilution analysis (SDA). SPME extract from carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) fiber was the most similar to the original odor of salt-fermented anchovy sauce used for this experiment, followed by divinylbenzene/CAR/PDMS (DVB/CAR/PDMS) fiber. Because salt-fermented anchovy sauce contains 23% NaCl, NaCl concentration of diluent was considered when salt-fermented anchovy sauce was serially diluted. Linear relationship between GC response and sample concentration was observed when diluted with 23% NaCl solution, whereas not observed when diluted with deodorized distilled water. Eleven and 16 aroma-active compounds were detected by SPME-GC-O based on SDA using CAR/PDMS and DVB/CAR/PDMS fibers, respectively. Butanoic acid and 3-methyl butanoic acid showed the highest ${\log}_2SD$ factors for CAR/PDMS and DVB/CAR/PDMS fibers. Dimethyl trisulfide, methional, trimethyl amine, 1-penten-3-ol, and acetic acid were also detected as potent aroma-active compounds.

자동차 인테리어에 사용된 여러 가지 재질에 대하여 현재까지 촉감을 측정하고 평가하여 소재의 적용과 표면질감의 기준을 결정하고자 했던 연구는 자동차의 조작 장치에 대한 인간공학적 평가, 시각적 디자인요소에 대한 연구에 비해서는 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 자동차 인테리어의 여러 소재에 대한 촉감 관련 감성을 측정하고 평가하는데 사용될 수 있는 촉감 관련 대표감성을 추출하고자 하였다. 기존의 감성어휘 연구에서 추출되어 있는 대표감성어휘를 이용하여, 자동차에 탑승하여 여러 재질을 보고 만지면서 촉각으로 느껴지는 촉감에 대해 느껴지는 감성어휘와 자동차 사용기의 분석 및 자동차 전문가에 대한 인터뷰 등을 종합하여 최종적으로 52개의 촉감 관련 감성어휘를 추출하였다. 이를 요인분석한 결과 거칠기, 단단함, 마찰감, 안락감, 뻣뻣함, 부드러움, 온도감, 매끈함, 친숙함, 유연함 등 10개의 대표감성으로 분류되었다. 이러한 대표감성 어휘는 자동차 인테리어의 촉감에 대한 소비자의 감성을 측정하고 평가하는데 활용될 수 있을 것이며 금속, 플라스틱, 가죽 등 다양한 소재들의 고급감을 향상시킬 수 있는 질감을 결정할 수 있는 감성평가의 기본 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

In substitution of beam-nonlinear spring model for real-car, it may have errors due to complicated characteristics of joint and overestimation of joints stiffness. In this research, a method for the joint modeling was suggested by nonlinear static and dynamic analyses of beam and shell joint models and verified by the application of accomplished joint modeling method to simplified full car model. In consequence, modified simplified full car model was improved in local acceleration and rigid wall force. Finally, the frontal crash analyses with the dummy were established and the accelerations of accelerations of head, chest and pelvis had good agreements with those of shell model.

The adequate design of a passenger car's braking system, which is directly related to the safety of a car, is very important since the safety is an essential design parameter of a car to keep men and car from the damage. The general method to verify the performance and safety of a braking system is still based on the trial-error experiments. However, the design based on experiments costs high and is time-consuming method. So it is desirable to use the numerical analysis method for the reduction of cost and time in the design of a braking system. In this paper, the thermal characteristic of a ventilated disc brake has been analyzed as a function of the car speed and a deceleration during quick braking.

Now days, the demands of new type hull lines and optimum design in relation with the EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) regulation and eco-friendly high efficiency vessel design are mandatory clauses in Euro financial crises era. Therefore, in correlation with the above, we tried to find the optimum results and revealed the alterations of supporting structure for liftable car deck latch on PCTC. Generally, PCTC (Pure Car & Truck Carrier) design has been performed by 2 pillar space model F. E analysis without vehicle loads on liftable car deck to evaluate the structural adaptability. So, we applied mentioned vehicle loads on pillar and side transverse web on model to compare with not applied model and performed the ultimate strength analysis of improved design for the safety evaluation.

The interior noise of the High Speed Train(HST) is analyzed by applying the statistical energy analysis (SEA) method. The interior of each vehicle is divided lengthwise into nine cavities. Since the rolling noise and aerodynamics noise are expected to be dominant noise sources, they are treated as the noise sources in the model. To further simplify the model, curtains and seats are excluded. The simulation runs involving one-car, three-car and five-car trains are conducted. The maximum predicted noise level is 98.4dB. The results also show that the predicted noise levels are within 0.23% of each other. The results imply that it is not necessary to estimate the interior noise of the train by constructing multiple-car train models. The noise estimate based on just one-car train can be optimal with respect to the computational effort and modeling time.

The in-wheel motor used in green car was designed and constructed for an electric direct-drive traction system. It is difficult to connect cooling water piping because the in-wheel motor is located within the wheel structure. In the air cooling structure for the in-wheel motor, a outer surface on the housing is provided with cooling grooves to increase the heat transfer area. In this study, we carried out the analysis on the fluid flow and thermal characteristics of the in-wheel motor under the effects of motor speed and heat generation. In order to check the problem of heat release, the analysis has been performed using conjugate heat transfer (conduction and convection). As a result, flow fields and temperature distribution inside the in-wheel motor were obtained for base speed condition (1250 rpm) and maximum speed condition (5000 rpm). Also, the thermo-flow characteristics analysis of in-wheel motor for vehicles was performed in consideration of ram air effect. Therefore, we checked the feasibility of the air cooling for the housing geometry having cooling grooves and investigated the cooling performance enhancement.
