This paper develops a finite element model for studying the occupant behavior and injury cofficients of a large-sized cab-over type truck. Since it does not have a room to absorb collision energy and deformation in front of the passenger compartment the deformation is directly transmitted to the passenger compartment. Moreover, since its steering column is attached on the frame, severe deformation of the frame directly affects on the steering wheel's movement. Therefore, if the occupant behavior and injury coefficients analysis is performed using a finite element model developed based on a sled test, it is very difficult to expect acquiring satisfactory results. Thus, the finite element model developing in this paper is based on the frontal crash test in order to overcome the inherent problems of the sled test based model commonly used in the passenger car. The occupant behavior and injury coefficients analysis is performed using PAM-CRASH installed in super-computer SP2. In order to validate the reliability of the developed finite element model, a frontal crash test is carried out according to a test method used fur developing truck occupant's secondary safety system in european community and japan. That is, test vehicle's collision direction is vertical to the rigid barrier and collision velocity is 45kph. Thus, measured vehicle pulses at the lower parts of the left and right B-pilla., dummy chest and head deceleration profiles, HIC(head injury criterial) and CA(chest acceleration) values, and dummy behavior from the frontal crash test are compared to the analysis results to validate reliability of the developed model.

본 논문에서는 충돌하중 하에서 스페이스 프레임을 사용하는 경주용 차량의 프레임 변형 및 응력을 분석한다. 충돌 시 변형을 최소한으로 줄이고, 취약부분을 파악하여 운전자의 안전을 확보한다. 탄소강의 물성치를 바탕으로 트러스 구조로 설계된 차량 프레임의 유한요소모델을 만들고, ANSYS 프로그램을 이용하여 정면충돌 시 속도 변화에 따른 충격량 증가가 프레임에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 또한 정면, 측면, 후면 방향에 충돌하중을 적용하여 프레임의\ 변형을 해석한다. 정면 및 후면충돌에서는 운전석에 가해지는 영향이 적지만, 측면충돌 시 충격에 의한 변형이 운전석까지 진행된다. 이러한 변형에 대한 취약부분의 보강을 통하여 프레임의 안전성 설계를 증진시키고 시뮬레이션 해석의 결과를 실제 프레임 제작에 활용한다.

1979년 Herman과 Prigogine에 의해 제안된 Two-fluid Model은 도시부 네트워크의 운영성을 설명하는 거시적인 모형으로서 네트워크 내 정지차량 비율과 평균 주행속도의 관계에 기초하고 있다. 이러한 Two-fluid Model의 파라미터는 교통류 특성에 따라 변화하므로 파라미터를 통한 운영성 분석 시 교통류 상태 변화를 규명하는 단계가 수반되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 Two-fluid Model의 파라미터를 활용하여 강우에 따른 교통사고 위험도를 비교하였고, 이로 인한 주행 행태가 도시부 네트워크의 운영성에 영향을 미침을 확인하였다. 먼저 Two-fluid Model 파라미터 추정결과, 맑은 날 대비 비가 온 날의 네트워크 운영성이 저하된 것으로 나타났다. 이후 운전자의 교통사고 위험인지 모형 계수를 산출하고 강우 여부에 따른 교통사고 위험도와 그에 따른 주행 행태 변화를 분석하였다. 오전·오후 시간대 모두 운전자는 맑은 날과 동일한 속도를 유지하였을 때 비가 온 날의 교통사고 위험도가 높을 수 있기 때문에, 위험도를 낮추기 위해 주행속도를 감속하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 맑은 날 보다 비가 온 날의 위험도는 여전히 높은 것으로 파악되었다. 향후에는 도시부 교통망의 거시적 운영성과 사고 위험도 간의 관계를 보다 다양한 네트워크에서 분석하고 동시에 개선할 수 있는 방안을 연구해볼 필요가 있겠다.

In the proto design stage of a new car, the performances of an occupant protection system can be evaluated by CAE even though the real test should be carried out. The number of the real test is reduced by the exact predictions followed by the appropriate design recommendation. However, the existing researches using CAE in predicting the performances do not consider the uncertainties of parameters. That often leads to inconsistency between test and CAE. In this research, the robust design of a protection system such as airbag and load limiter is suggested considering the frontal crash. The parameter design scheme of the Taguchi method is introduced to obtain the robust design of arbitrary airbag and load limiter. It is performed based on the frontal crash test condition of US-NCAP with an arbitrary passenger car. The variances of the performances such as HIC, chest acceleration and probability of combined injury are calculated by the outer array and the Taylor series expansion. Through the analysis of the Taguchi method, the robust optimum is determined.

This study carried out passenger safety assessment by real car crash simulation of composite post structures for road facilities. The effects of different material properties of composites for various parameters are studied using the LS-DYNA finite element program for this study. In this study, the existing finite element analysis of steel post structures using the LS-DYNA program is further extended to study dynamic behaviors of the structures made of various composite materials. The numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing different models with displacements and stress distribution occurred in the post and car.

In guard rail crashes, the development of guard rail structure to ensure the maintenance of safety for passengers is very important. So, this paper focuses on understanding the possibility of efficient structural development considering crash strength of guard rail through computer simulation using the commercial code, LS-DYNA3D at the initial stage of guard rail development. For this study, guard rail structure was modeled using shell elements to represent major structural members and passenger car was modeled using plate elements of simple shape to do not have the drawing, and impact boundary conditions required by regulation was applied. In order to confirm the validity of the computational results, they were compared with the test results.

According to the pedestrian protection regulations of Europe and Japan, the head injury must not exceed a limitation in the defined test condition for the protection of pedestrians from a vehicle crash. However, it is difficult to evaluate the performance of protection because each regulation has different test conditions such as dummy, impact speed and so on. This circumstance needs the development of a model that describes the anthropometry of the crash victim with a sufficient accuracy. We constructed scaled pedestrian dummies using MADYSCALE. Simulations were performed for various crash speeds and pedestrian postures. The scaled Korean dummies and HybridIII dummies were used to compare the pedestrian dynamic behaviors and head injury criteria during the collision. The HIC values of scaled korean dummies were found to be higher than those of Hybrid III dummies. The impact for gait posture was less than that for standing.

A hybrid type automotive drivers seat was invented with new concepts for the reduction of weight and manufacturing costs. Fundamental studies were performed to determine the basic geometry of reinforcing support. A prototypical design was provided by the manufacturer considering compatibility with other parts. Several structural analyses simulating various crash situations were performed and modifications were continued until a final design was reached. A sample product was manufactured and sled crash tests were performed to verify the safety of the seat. Comparisons of test results with the previous model and a seat from another company proved safety performances to be superior.

Until now, passenger airbag design is based on the referred car design and many repetitive crash tests have been done to meet the crash performance. In this paper, it was suggested a new design process of passenger airbag. First, key performance factors were determined by analyzing the injury risk effectiveness of each performance factor. And it was made a relationship between injury risk and performance factor by using the response surface model. By using this one, it can be predicted the injury risk of head and neck. Predicted injury risk of optimal design was obtained through this injury risk prediction model and it was verified by FE analysis result within 18% error of head and 9% error of neck. It was shown that a target crash performance can be met by controlling the key performance factors only.

This study investigates whether foreign investors' behavior is involved in firm-specific investor sentiment. Because the mixed role of foreign investors on investor sentiment formation seems to exist in the Korean stock market, it needs to examine the moderate or incremental effect of foreign investors on the stock price crash risk which is due to investor sentiment. The analysis results using Korea Stock Exchanges - listed firms for the period of 2011-2019 show the increased future stock price crash risk which is attributable to high investor sentiment is mitigated for firms with the high foreign ownership, indicating the moderate effect. This study expands the literature on the foreign investors' behavior in the Korean stock market, by showing foreign investors are not involved in firm-specific investor sentiment, which improves market's efficiency in the Korean stock market. Also, the paper is valuable to the academic and practice field in that the findings shed light on the foreign investors' mitigating role in stock price crashes in the behavioral finance perspective.
