Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) durability analysis and experiments of an aluminum alloy brake pedal were carried out for the car lighter by die casting method. In the CAE analysis, KS standards and criteria of the Volvo Car Corporation were applied, and in the experiment, KS standards were applied. The CAE analysis results show that aluminum alloy brake pedals are stronger than the conventional steel brakes pedals because the yield strength of the aluminum alloy increased by almost 97% over that of steel. Further, the structures of the cylinder and the frame were reinforced with increasing thickness of flame and were changed to suit the die-casting process. Through a durability test based on the KS standard, the strength of a prototype of the aluminum alloy brake pedal was confirmed to be sufficient.

This study proposes a structural design method for the upper control arm installed at the rear side of a SUV. The weight of control arm can be reduced by applying the design. In this research, the former includes optimization technology, and the latter the technologies for selecting aluminum as a steel-substitute material. Strength assessment is the most important design criterion in the structural design of a control arm. At the proto design stage of a new control arm, FE (finite element) analysis is often utilized to predict its strength. In this study, the kriging interpolation method is adopted to obtain the minimum weight satisfying the strength constraint and durability criteria. The optimum results determined from the in-house program are compared with those of ANSYS WORKBENCH. The durability assessment is obtained by a index of fatigue durability and trial & error method, MSC. Fatigue program.

Engine mount is used to soften the impact of bumper with elasticity recovery and damping capacity. Inner noise and vibration to influence the comfortableness for passenger cause the engine to the chattering phenomenon. In this study, structural analysis can be done by engine mounts designed with 3D modelling. Natural frequencies and harmonic responses are analyzed by using models with some kinds of configurations. When the simulation model is applied by the force of 600N within the range of natural frequencies, the magnitude of deformation becomes 0 to 3mm. As the number of holes around inside mount increases, the capability of vibration absorption and durability becomes larger. In case of 5holes around inside mount, it can be safest on durability. The life of mount becomes larger by changing the configuration of model. The engine mount improved with durability can be designed through the result of simulation.

A practical method for reducing the number of spot welds in automotive structures considering fatigue crack initiation life is suggested. At first, an influence index for the durability and the fatigue life of a spot weld itself is defined and then taken as the main effect of the DOE analysis. Spot welds that can be removed without serious reduction of durability through numerical experiments are selected by the results of DOE. The proposed method was applied to the shock tower and LCA(lower control arm) structure of a vehicle, which are important components in durability-related point of view.

본 연구에서는 드럼자체와 브레이크에 대한 시뮬레이션 해석을 하였으며 열해석 결과와 구조 해석을 통한 내구성을 고찰하여 그 해석 결과를 얻었다. 브레이크 실린더로 인하여 힘을 받는 라이닝,라이닝의 확장으로 인하여 힘을 받는 드럼 내부, 축의 회전으로 인하여 힘을 받는 드럼에 대한 열응력 및 구조 해석을 통하여 어느 부분에 등가응력과 변형량이 큰지를 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 종합하여 브레이크 디스크설계에 응용한다면 열변형 방지 및 그 내구성을 증대시키는데 활용성이 클 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구 결과는 실제적으로 드럼 브레이크에서의 열응력에 견딜 수 있는 내구성 있는 설계에 유용하게 적용할 수 있다. 계절별 기차선로 이음새에서의 내구성 해석을 적용함으로서 본 연구 결과가 미적인 설계에 응용되는 융합 연구에 유리하다고 보여진다.

We evaluate the durability of vehicle chassis component under dynamic loadings. Since the fatigue analysis of vehicle component is based on the dynamic load history it must be done by dynamic analysis. But in case the vehicle component has natural frequencies much larger than reversing frequencies of load history, we can get small analysis errors by applying quasi-static analysis. So it is inefficient that we apply to the dynamic analysis for all the vehicle components. In this research, we discuss the quasi-static analysis method which is appropriate for the fatigue analysis. And in case we can only perform the fatigue analysis based on dynamic analysis, we introduce more efficient method in the analysis time and hard disk storage.

In vehicle's door wiring harness (W/H) system is more toward to arrange a passenger compartment than a hinge and a weatherstrip. An opening/closing member of a vehicle is attached to a vehicle by a hinge in a manner enabling easy opening and closing of the opening/closing member. Such members include doors, such as side-doors and rear doors, and other opening/closing members, such as trunk lids. This article gives some insight into the dimensioning process, with special focus on large deflection analysis of wiring harness(W/H) in vehicle's door structures for durability problem. The Finite elements analysis for door wiring harness(W/H) is used for residual stresses and dimensional stability with bending flexible. Durability test data for slam test specimens were compared with the numerical predicted fatigue life for verification. The final testing of the component combines the effects of these microstructural features with the complex stress state arising from the combined service loading and residual stresses.

In general, the durability performance of a large-sized military truck has been checked through a field durability test which required many man-hours and costs. To reduce these expenses, the durability analysis using a VTL(Virtual Test Lab) at an initial design stage was introduced recently. In this paper, the VTL with a multi-post testrig template for a large-sized truck was developed to compute the load histories transferred to cabin and chassis frame. The VTL consisted of trimmed FE models of cabin, chassis frame, and deck, dynamic models of front and rear suspensions, and a 8-post testrig template. The basic characteristics of the VTL were correlated with experimental results which had been extracted from actual driving test, modal test, and static weight test. The fatigue analysis using MSM(Modal Superposition Method) was applied to evaluate the durability performance of a large-sized military truck. From a series of analytic methods, it is shown that the fatigue analysis process using the VTL could be a useful tool to estimate the fatigue lives and weak areas of a large-sized military truck.

본 연구에서는 화재가 발생하였을 때 작동되는 옥외형 피난계단 구조물이 태풍에 따른 풍압이 작용하였을 때 내구성을 검증하기 위하여 단방향 유동-구조 연성해석을 진행하였다. 이를 위해, 피난계단 구조물 주위에 대한 유동장을 정상상태로 유동해석을 수행하였고, 이러한 해석결과를 구조해석을 위한 입력 데이터로 사용하여 구조응력, 변형량, 피로수명 등의 계산을 통해 내구성을 분석하였다. 유동해석 결과, 피난계단 구조물 형상에 따라 공기에 의한 유동 흐름이 다르게 나타났으며, 이러한 유동속도 분포는 구조물 표면에 전압력으로 작용하였다. 또한, 이러한 전압력에 의해 계산된 구조해석 결과, 최대응력값으로 계산된 안전율이 허용치 이상으로 나타났으며, 피로수명과 변형량 분석을 통해 내구성을 입증하였다.
