군용 헬기 내추락성 설계기준을 개정해야 한다는 많은 논의가 있어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 비교적 최근에 개정된 내추락성 설계기준을 핵심내용인 내추락성 지수를 중심으로 분석하였다. 내추락성 지수는 회전익기 설계에 있어서의 내추락 성능을 정량적으로 평가하는 적절한 방법으로 인식되고 있다. 지수 평가를 통해 신규개발 또는 파생형 회전익기 설계가 얼마나 효과적으로 내추락성 요구조건을 반영했는지 확인할 수 있다. 지수 평가는 7개 분야로 구성되어 있는데, 기본 기체구조 내추락성 평가는 객관적인 계산과정을 겪는데 반해 나머지 분야들은 다분히 주관적 평가의 속성을 갖고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 개정 설계기준의 효용성을 파악하기 위해 기본 기체구조 내추락성 분야 내추락성 지수의 상세 계산과정을 분석하였다.

This paper studied on the application of the crashworthiness regulations of Korean Railway Safety Law and Urban Transit Safety Law to the urban Maglev vehicle of KIMM. The Urban Maglev vehicle has to comply with the crashworthiness regulations for urban transit vehicles. The collision load cases have been simulated by using explicit finite element analysis. From the numerical results, the crashworthiness regulations of the Urban Transit Safety Law were completely satisfied, but maximum crash pulse requirement in 25 km/h crash event and no plastic deformation requirement in 10 km/h crash event in the Korean Railway Safety Law were not. If a commercial urban Maglev vehicle is developed in the near future, it is necessary that some soft buffing and energy absorbing devices are adopted in its front end so as to satisfy the crashworthiness regulations of the Korean Railway Safety Law.

공학분야에서 흔히 접하게 되는 접촉충격 문제들의 해석을 위해 접촉충격의 지배방정식과 효율적인 해석방법인 pinball contact-impact 알고리즘에 대해 기술하였다. 예제로 보여준 충돌하는 두 구조계의 접촉충격 해석과 자동차의 crashworthiness 해석결과들은 전술한 알고리즘이 매우 효율적임을 입증하고 있다. 자동차의 crashworthiness 해석과 같이 해석대상 모델이 크고 복잡한 경우에는 짧은 경과시간 동안의 거동변화를 파악하고자 하더라도 엄청난 계산시간이 소요된다. 따라서 효율적인 crashworthiness 해석을 위해서는 전술한 접촉충격 알고리즘 외에도, 논외의 대상이라 본문에서 소개하지는 않았으나, 강력한 요소(one-point integration element), 효과적인 비선형 동적해석 알고리즘, 해의 정확도를 높일 수 있는 adaptive method, 효율적인 시간적분을 위한 mixed time integration method(subcycling)와 explicit method 등을 복합적으로 혼합하여 사용하여야 한다.

Crashworthiness design and certification have been and will continue to be the main concern in aviation safety. The effects of roll angles on fuselage section crashworthiness for typical civil transport category aircrafts were investigated. A fuselage section with waved-plates under cargo floor is suggested, and the finite element model of fuselage section is developed to simulate drop test subjected to 7 m/s impact velocity under conditions of 0-deg, 5-deg, 10-deg and 15-deg roll angles, respectively. A comparative analysis of failure modes, acceleration responses, and energy absorption of fuselage section under various conditions are given. The results show that the change of roll angles will significantly affect fuselage deformation, seat peak overloads, and energy absorption. The crashworthiness capability of aircraft can be effectively improved by choosing appropriate landing way.

In the standard specifications for the urban EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) train, there are several items to ensure safety against accidents. The 21st to the 23rd items have much to do with the crashworthiness of the urban EMU train. In this study, a rubber-tired Automated Guide-way Transit (AGT) System under development by KRRI is numerically evaluated from the point of view of crashworthiness by applying the above crashworthiness items. The numerical results show that the design of the AGT satisfies the 22nd and 23rd items. But a design modification to adopt mechanical fuses is recommended to reduce impact accelerations with respect to the 21st item.

Crashworthiness design concept in the helicopter development is still under evolutionary stage. Survivability in the event of a crash was remarkably improved and this fact can be recognized by the analysis results on the AH-64 Apache and UH-60 Black Hawk crash accidents. Those two models are the first ones in which the crashworthiness design concept was applied with a full-scale requirement. Here we need to notice that under-design of the system results in unexpected injuries and deaths while over-design of the crashworthy elements result in unnecessary weight and costs. If landing gear system would be verified to have enough energy absorption capability in the specified vertical velocity interval, then design requirements of the airframe, fuel system and seats could be modified positively. In this paper, the right and systematic crashworthiness design concept is reviewed on the assumption that design requirements of some crashworthy elements could be partially tailored.

This paper studied on the application of Korean Railway Safety Law and Urban Transit Safety Law in Crashworthiness Regulations to the urban maglev vehicle of KIMM. The crashworthiness regulations for urban transit vehicle should be satisfied to the urban maglev vehicles according to crash analysis results using the explicit finite element method. However, according to its numerical results, the crashworthiness regulations of Korean Railway Safety Law were partially satisfied except the coupling and shunting condition. When a commercial urban maglev vehicle is developed in the near future, the crashworthiness regulations of Korean Railway Safety Law should be considered and satisfied during its structural design stage in some details

This article aims at presenting multi objective optimization of parameters that affect crashworthiness characteristics of bi-tubular structures using Taguchi method with grey relational analysis. To design the experiments, the $L_9$ orthogonal array has been used and based on that, the inner tubes have been fabricated by varying the three influence factors such as reference diameter, length difference and numbers of sides of the polygon with three levels, but all the outer cylinders have the same diameter and length 90 mm and 135 mm respectively. Then, the tailor made bi-tubular steel structures were subjected into quasi static axial compression. From the test results it is found that the crushing behaviors of bi-tubular structures with different combinations were fairly significant. The important responses (crashworthiness indicators) specific energy absorption and crush force efficiency have been evaluated from load - displacement curve. Finally optimal levels of parameters were identified using grey relational analysis, and significance of parameters was determined by analysis of variance. The optimum crashworthiness parameters are reference diameter 80 mm, length difference 0 mm and number of sides of polygon is 3, i.e., triangle within the selected nine bi-tube combinations.

Through this study, the standard design guidelines for high speed train with power cars have been derived to meet the crashworthiness requirements of the Korean rollingstock safety regulation. The crashworthiness regulation requires some performance requirements for two heavy collision accident scenarios; a train-to-train collision at the relative speed of 36 kph, and a collision against a standard deformable obstacle of 15 ton at 110 kph. A standard high speed train composition was defined as 2PC-2ET-6T with 17ton axle load, similar to KTX-2 for the Honam express line. Using theoretical and numerical analyses, some crashworthy design guidelines were derived in terms of mean crush forces and energy absorptions for major crushable components. The derived design guidelines were evaluated and improved using one dimensional spring-mass dynamic simulation. It is shown from the simulation results that the suggested design guidelines can easily satisfy the domestic crashworthiness requirements.

The response surface method is the statistical method which can be applied to the non-sensitivity based optimization. The response surface which is constructed by the least square method contains only the polynomial terms so that the global maximum and minimum points are easily obtained. In this paper, this response surface method is utilized to optimize the crashworthiness of auto-body members. As the first step, the thickness of a simple circular tube is optimized to confirm the application of the response surface method to the crashworthiness. Optimization of the thickness on the front side member is, then, performed with the constructed response surface of the absorbed energy and deformation. Optimization results demonstrate that the absorbed energy and the deformation pattern of the front side member is improved in the viewpoint of enhancement of the crashworthiness.
