Recently, many automobile parts produced by semi-solid forming(SSF) process has been applied for improved weight reduction, better environmental protection and energy savings. SSF process was well developed for high volume production of light weight aluminum components. In this paper, knuckle has been manufactured with A357 by SSF and thor investigated for microstructures and mechanical properties followed by various heat-treatment conditions. It was found that the examined microstructure was equiaxed at the whole cross-section area and as a result, the mechanical properties were satisfied by 100MPa YS, 260MPa UTS and $14\%$ elongation.

Spot welding, namely a kind of electric resisting welding has been used widely in field of automobile and aircraft industries because of easiness to apply. Specimens used in this study was a mild steel of 1.2mm thickness and the electrode was a Cu-Cr alloy of 6mm diameter. The surface sheared of specimens after testing of tensile shear was observed by SEM(scanning electron microscope) after ultrasonic cleaning for 10min., and microstructures and grain size of all specimens were measured with using of O.M.(Optical microscope). By the means of measurement and observations of tensile shear load, fatigue strength and share surface, the weldability of spot welding was evaluated. When tensile shearing testing, fracture starting point in all specimens was took place at the bond between HAZ(Heat affected zone) and nugget. With increasing in number of layers, fatigue strength was decreased. With increasing in electric current, grain size in the HAZ became more fine.

In this Paper, the modeling of the electromagnetic damper for automobile suspension is presented and the validation of the model is demonstrated by experiments. An electromagnetic damper, composed of a rotary DC motor, and a ball screw and nut. The damper then operates as a linear electric actuator. The damper then operate as a linear electric actuator. The results indicate the proposed system is feasible and it is proved that the electromagnetic damper has better than oil damper of passive control system.

Fossil fuel, the energy source of internal combustion engine automobiles, is limited in resource and has caused environmental issues for decades. Accordingly, automobile manufacturers from many countries around the world are developing or producing eco-friendly vehicles that utilize alternative sources of energy. These vehicles are equipped with many electronic and electrical components which operate on high voltage and/or large current that were not used in conventional combustion engine automobiles. In this paper, in order to analyze the electro-magnetic interference noise, electric vehicles and fuel cell electric vehicles are tested under the guidelines of KMVSS (Korean Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) as well as under test modes that are not stipulated under the guidelines.

Oil Pump rotor is essential parts for automobile and, it is consisted of drive rotor and driven rotor in general. These parts are requested different properties according to environment. There are 2 types of Oil Pump rotor according to its usage. One is used for electric system, and the other is used for shaft-driven system. Especially, high precision and functionality is required in electric pump, and cost reduction is required in shaft-drive pump without slowing down its performance. This paper is mainly describing about the non-machine treated shaft-drive pump, based on the trial sample producing process.

This paper describes an air conditioner control method using a fuzzy control theory. The fuzzy control method was implemented with Philips 80C552 one chip microcomputer and tested in an actual vehicle. Experiments showed that proposed control method is superior to the conventional PID control method especially in the environments with abrupt disturbance and parameter variation of the control system. Fuzzy-Based control method was proved to maintain a stable and improved temperature control in an abrupt environmental changes.

Because High efficiency electric vehicles use electrical energy by an power source, radiated noise at high voltage cable bring on problems at other electric/electronic components. But, in order to insure shielding effectiveness increasing braid density infinitely, it is possible that the cost is more than one third of cost of manufacturing cable. Accordingly in this paper, we studied design of cost-effective and light shield cable using dual shielding system of braid and al-foil.

According to revolutionary developments in automobile technologies, various electronically controlled components of vehicles are rapidly increasing. A variety of advanced vehicles (hybrid vehicle, hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle, electric vehicle, etc.) using electrical energy source are increasing, too. The electromagnetic compatibility is getting more important for development of a vehicle because those advanced vehicles are equipped with more new electronic systems. In general, electromagnetic compatibility tests consist of an electromagnetic interference (EMI) test and an electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) test. In this paper, in order to investigate the electromagnetic interference in the cabin of vehicle by various electric and electronic components of vehicles, a series of narrowband electromagnetic emission tests are conducted. For comparison, the several digital home appliances (smartphone under charging, laptop compuer and digital camera), which are used a lot in daily lives, are tested.

Electric drive technology is continually advanced to improve fuel efficiency in the automobile industry. It could improve the fuel efficiency of automobiles by 50% as well as agricultural machinery. The purpose of this study was to measure and analyze the power and current of an electric transplanter based on the planting distances during field operations. The electric transplanter was constructed by mounting the major components of a motor drive system onto a transplanter. The electric transplanter had a 3 kW motor power, and the major components included an inverter, battery, and a battery management system (BMS). The field tests were conducted by travelling at two speeds (300 and 760 mm/s) and by planting at three distances (260, 420 and 630 mm) with the working speed (300 mm/s), during travelling and transplanting. The results showed that the required power increased when the travelling speed was fast. One-way ANOVA for the planting distance and Duncan's multiple range test at a significance level of 0.05 were used to analyze the motor power using statistical analysis software. In addition, the required power increased when the planting distances were short at every working condition. The results of this study would provide useful information for the development an electric transplanter.

A key factor in the study of hybrid vehicle is to enhance the usability of energy. The paper introduces the monitor and controlling technology of hybrid vehicle that can process the relevant information considering the structure of power system and driving strategies simultaneously, and can monitor its results. This technology, so called HEV algorithm analysis, has been applied to PRIUS THS made by Toyota Co. LTD. This model is adapted to parallel hybrid type. It has a somewhat comlex structure, but has several merits. It's energy loss is lower when conversing. and also it is easily applied to the conventional vehicle having a gasoline engine without any overall changing of its structure, and so on. This monitor and controlling technology is very useful to study on the various driving strategies of hybrid vehicle for maximizing the usability between engine and electric motor.
