In order to improve occupant protection in frontal crash, the IIHS introduced a small overlap frontal crash test in 2012. When the front corner of a car collides with another car or object, such as utility pole the test replicated the sequence of events. Because occupants move simultaneously forward and toward the side of the vehicle this test is challenging for some airbag and safety belt designs. In the small overlap frontal test, a car travels at 64 km/h toward a rigid barrier. A hybrid III dummy is positioned in the driver seat. 25% of the total width of the car strikes the barrier on the driver side. After review of small overlap frontal test protocol and overall rating, six run-throughs were performed according to the original test method.

현재 국내에서는 교통사고 재현 방법이 노면 흔적물에 의존하여 이루어지고 있고, 노면 흔적물이 없는 경우 교통사고 재현은 불가능하게 된다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 외국에서는 충돌모델을 이용한 교통사고 재현프로그램을 활용하고 있는 추세이다. 현재 우리나라에서 가장 많이 사용하는 교통사고 재현 프로그램 PC-CRASH를 활용하기 위해서는 각 사고마다 알맞은 충돌특성 인자 값을 사용자가 직접 입력하여 사용하여야 하나, 이를 활용할 수 있는 활용자료가 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 국내에서 실제 발생된 교통사고 사례에 대해 교통사고 재현 프로그램인 PC-CRASH와 충돌에 영향을 미치는 충돌 인자들로 교통사고를 재현하였고, 차량의 최종위치간 거리와 자세에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 알아보았다. 또한 실제 역 해석을 하기 위해 차량의 최종위치와 자세만으로 각각의 사례에 적절한 인자값을 추정할 수 있는 회귀식을 구성하였고, 통계적으로 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 사고 재현에 필요한 주요 충돌인자들의 초기치 설정시 추정식을 이용할 경우, 사고 재현 프로그램 활용 시, 시간 단축 효과를 프로그램 내부에 있는 유전자 알고리즘의 반복횟수로 추정식의 통계적 검증을 하였다.

A concept of crash energy absorbing (CEA) lattice structure for an inflatable morphing vehicle body (Lee et al. 2008) has been investigated as a method of providing rigidity and energy absorption capability during a vehicular collision (Lee et al. 2007). A modified analytical model for the CEA lattice structure design is described in this paper. The modification of the analytic model was made with a stiffness approach for the elastic region and updated plastic limit analysis with a pure plastic bending deformation concept and amended elongation factors for the plastic region. The proposed CEA structure is composed of a morphing lattice structure with movable thin-walled members for morphing purposes, members that will be locked in designated positions either before or during the crash. What will be described here is how to model the CEA structure analytically based on the energy absorbed by the CEA structure.

The priority of Crashworthiness concept for rolling stock is progressively increasing to reduce the damage of drivers and passengers as well as the car. For the first step of this research, the analysis of the crash elements have been performed. Also the longitudinal collapse force and mode is important point for whole carbody structure to guarantee the lower force at end part rather than the main passenger area. The carbody quasi-static collapse analysis and real test has been performed in the research. The crash elements FEA and test has been performed as well. After the initial Analysis and test, the correlation analysis between the FEA and test has been performed by FEA tunning. All this result will be used for real crashworthiness design for carbody structure.

In this study, vehicle directional stability is investigated for limit driving for crash avoidance maneuver using a full vehicle dynamic model. The model was analytically validated using typical step steering and lane change simulation. Limit driving condition for the vehicle model was quoted from research results of references. It was demonstrated that instable vehicle motion was caused by not only road conditions but also driving conditions. Also, the simulation showed that braking combined with steering caused very hazardous situation in crash avoidance maneuver. Finally, phase plane plot approach was used to evaluate the dynamic instability.

The CEM (Crash Energy Management) concept is getting important in rail vehicle design to minimize Injury on passengers and drivers on crash event. In this paper, the accuracy of the FEA analysis result was verified through the crush test on the front part of a non-CEM based carbody. Using the verified FEA analysis method, the energy absorbing capability of the CEM based carbody was estimated.

A column for streetlamp has been damaged by severe wind loads such as typhoon. The stress concentration around the inspection hole may cause the collapse of the column for streetlamp. In this paper, the effects due to the wind load of 60 m/s and the car crash to the column at the speed of 48 km/h were considered to examine the design stability analysis of the column for streetlamp. The maximum von Mises stress did not exceed the yield stress of the material. Considering the car crash, the column for streetlamp was not collapsed.

Small overlap crash caused fatal injury in real-world crash. IIHS(Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) proposed the small overlap test. The objective of this study is to analyze dummy injury criteria and dummy excursion on the sled reinforced body angle. Result of the comparisons of dummy injury criteria of a head, neck, and chest was best correlation between sled and vehicle test on base $angle+3^{\circ}$. However, lower extremity was not correlation because sled test could not copy of intrusion. There were a correlation between dummy movement and sled reinforced body angle. Sled reinforced body angle affects the lateral direction of excursion more than longitudinal excursion.

In general, the aluminum extrusions are used to the light construction of the high speed rail vehicle structures. However, the research works ok the crashworthy design of the high speed rail vehicle structures are not published sufficiently because the crash test of high speed rail vehicle structures costs high and is complicated. So, a method that can predict crash characteristics of a large size structure like a high speed tail vehicle should be suggested. In this study, the scale model studies are performed to predict the impact energy absorption characteristics of full scale model. In the first place, we verified the theory of scale law using FE-simulation from the crashworthiness point of view. Secondly, we performed the crush test using scale model, made of aluminum sub structure. As a result, we could predict the crash characteristics using scale model by 10∼20% error.

전통의 자기 디스크 형태 저장 장치로의 접근 지연 시간을 줄이고자, 최근에 서로 네트워크로 연결된 컴퓨터간의 메모리 자원들을 파일을 저장하는 장치로써 활용해 볼 수 있는 가상 장치(Network RamDisk)가 개발되었다. 이 시스템은 메모리 공간을 제공해 주는 서버의 노드들이 패리티 그룹(parity group)을 이루는 일종의 software RAID 시스템으로 한 서버의 노드 crash 에 대해 대응하는 것을 고려하지 않아 제 이의 서버가 노드 crash, 프로세스 crash 혹은 데이터 손실을 발생시키면 완전히 데이터를 잃어버리는, 신뢰성이 낮은 문제점이 있다. 본 논문은 클라이언트가 서버측의 노드 crash를 적절히 감지하고 새로운 서버로 fail over 할 수 있는 여러 가지 기법들을 설계하고 구현하였다. 또한 서버 풀(server pool)이라는 가상의 공간을 따로 관리하여 서버들에 대한 메모리 자원 요구 부하를 균등히 분산 시키는 효과도 얻도록 하였다.
