In order to numerically evaluate automotive hydro-formed DP-steel tubes on crash performance considering welding heat effects, the finite element simulations of crash behavior were performed for hydro-formed tubes with and without heat treatment effects. This work involves the mechanical characterization of the base material and the HAG-welded zone as well as finite element simulations of the crash test of hydro-formed tubes with welded brackets and hydro-forming of tubes. The welding heat effects on the crash performance are evaluated in efforts to improve the process optimization procedure of the engine cradle in the design stage. In particular, FEM simulations on indentations have been performed and experimentally verified for material properties of weld zone and heat affected zone.

본 연구는 사고처리 지연으로 인한 피해를 최소화할 수 있는 고속도로 순찰대의 최적입지를 결정하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 우리는 최단거리를 기준으로 서비스 관할구간을 할당하는 maximum covering 문제와 사고 빈도 가중 p-center 문제를 각각 구성하고, 두 문제를 해결하기 위하여 라그랑지안 완화 알고리즘과 Daskin의 휴리스틱 알고리즘을 적용한다. 제안된 모형들의 결과는 한국 고속도로의 사고자료를 기반으로 최대사고가중거리, 평균사고가중거리, 평균처리거리 등의 사고처리 서비스 수준 지표를 이용하여 현재의 순찰대 입지와 비교된다. 비교 결과를 통해 제안된 모형들은 10km 평균 접근거리와 약 10분의 평균 접근시간을 개선할 수 있음이 확인된다. 또한 현재의 입지를 고정시키고 서비스 관할구간만을 변경할 경우에도 서비스 수준이 개선될 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제시된 모형과 결과는 고속도로 사고처리 서비스 수준을 개선하는 데에 활용될 수 있으며, 또한 다양한 유형의 긴급시설 입지 결정이나 시간대별 사고자료에 기초한 유동적 관할구역 설정 등의 이론적 기반을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Dual Phase (DP) steel which has a soft ferrite phase and a hard martensite phase reveals both high strength and high ductility and has received increased attention for use in automotive applications. To conduct structural analysis to verify vehicle safety, highly credible experimental results are required. In this study, tensile tests were performed in a strain rate range from $10^{-4}/s$ to 300/s for Sink Roll-Less (SRL) hot-dip metal coated sheets. Collision properties were estimated through simulation by LS-DYNA using the stress-strain curve obtained from the tensile test. The simulation results were compared with the actual crash test results to confirm the credibility of the simulation. In addition, a tensile test and a crash test with 2% prestrain and a baking (PB) specimen were evaluated identically because automotive steel is used after forming and painting. The mechanical behaviors were improved with an increasing strain rate regardless of the PB treatment. Thus, plastic deformation with an appropriate strain rate is expected to result in better formability and crash characteristics than plastic deformation with a static strain rate. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and absorbed energy up to 10% strain were improved even though the total elongation decreased after PB treatment, The results of the experimental crash test and computer simulation were slightly different but generally, a similar propensity was seen.

차량방호울타리는 교통사고 발생 시 마지막 안전장치이다. 차량방호울타리의 구조적 성능이 기대 수준 이상으로 유지가 되어야지만 운전자 혹은 차량 탑승자의 생명을 보호해 줄 수 있게 된다. 단부처리시설은 방호울타리의 끝단에 설치되며 차량 충돌 시 가드레일이 차량에 관통하는 현상을 방지함과 동시에 충격을 흡수하는 형태의 시설물이다. 이러한 차량방호울타리의 개발을 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통한 반복해석을 수행함으로서 다양한 변수에 적절히 대응하는 방호울타리를 개발할 수 있을 것이다.

AHSS (Advanced High Strength Steels) has been increasingly employed by global automotive OEMs in order to satisfy strengthened regulations and reduce weight for fuel efficiency. Hot stamping using boron steels in AHSS increases not only formability but also strength. The typical hot-stamped automotive part is the center pillar that is critical for vehicle side impact. However, the hot-stamped part can be risky for the passenger safety caused by brittle fracture under a vehicle collision. The high power diode laser is suitable for the heat treatment giving AHSS increased elongation that prevents brittle fracture in car crash. Therefore, local softening by laser heat treatment for energy absorption area on the hot-stamped part improves crash-worthiness.

Real-world accident cases were investigated to understand injury characteristics of the elderly driver. A total 10 cases of car-to-car frontal crash accidents from passenger car including SUV claimed to domestic car insurance company were reviewed. The injury characteristics of the elderly were analyzed from personal information (gender, age), medical treatment record (medical certificate, curative days), vehicle information (model, air-bag, seatbelt) and damage information. This study showed that elderly driver has higher possibility of thorax injury than non-elderly's. Moreover, Injury type and severity were more severe than non-elderly driver at similar type accident conditions. Also, elderly driver's medical treatment period needs 3 times more than non-elderly driver's.

현재 생활문화 수준의 향상과 소득 증대에 따라 환경오염에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 또한, 수질오염에 대한 규제가 강화되어 수질오염 방지 및 하수처리 효율 향상을 위한 연구가 지속적으로 수행되고 있다. 하수처리 효율을 향상시키는 방법 중 하나는 수처리조 내에서 용존산소량을 늘려주는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 용존산소량을 늘려주고, 산소 발생기에서 발생되는 버블의 크기를 작게 만들 수 있는 설계 방안을 제시한다. 마이크로버블 발생노즐로 유입되는 물과 공기의 유동 형태에 따라 선회 및 충돌을 생성시켜 버블의 크기를 미세하게 만들었다. 본 해석결과에서 충돌 방식의 경우 버블의 크기는 목표치를 만족하지 못하였다. 반면 선회를 이용한 노즐에서는 $0{\sim}50{\mu}m$ 사이의 버블이 79.3%를 차지하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 마이크로버블 발생노즐은 하수처리 효율을 증대시킬 수 있을 것이다.

The purpose of this study is to produce a side impact beam with high tensile steel using a roll forming process. The door side impact beam plays an important roll in a car because it protects passengers from external crash. The roll forming process is a continuous bending process wherein a long metal sheet is bended as it continuously passes several rolls. The characteristic of this study is that an impact beam is produced by a continuous process using a ultra high strength steel without a hardening heat treatment. A model was determined by analysing plasticity of a cross section shape considering high strength. Design parameters of the impact beam was determined by crash-analysing the model. Workpiece products were manufactured by designing dies for roll forming and setting them up in a following process line. Results of a bending test and a FEM analysis was considered and reviewed.

Repair were made for front pillar, center pillar and side-step panel for lightweight vehicles with head-on and 40% off-set collision of 15 km/h in a RCAR standard. The salt dilution was sprayed and the compression tests were performed for vehicles with and without anti-corrosional treatment after repair. After 764 hours of salt-dilt sprayed test without using anti-corrosion, the mean penetration depth fur corrosion was shown to be 58% of the thickness. The resulyed decrease in bending stiffness by 10∼20% can cause reduction of the residual life and crash-absorption capability for damaged vehicles. The corrosoin safety tests showed that the anti-corrosional treatment should be made to improve the safety characteristics for a or damaged car.

This paper deals with the effect of laser material processing on the EMU production technique. Material processing with lasers takes advantage of all the characteristics of laser light. The high energy density and directionality achieved with lasers permits strong localized heat- or photo-treatment of materials with spatial resolution below one micrometer. The pulsed and mono-chromatic light allows the control of depth of heat treatment or selective excitation. The laser beam can be moved to process large areas, is a sterile tool and is no subject to wear and tear. Using laser processing have taken more interests in EMU production for improving the rigidity, weight reduction, crash durability, and cost savings so that their application to auto-bodies has been increased.
