The hydroforming process is rapidly gaining popularity in the sheet metal forming industry. In this study, hydroforming process is applied to the seat back frame. The load-deformation characteristics of seat frame are simulated according to the test requirements by FMVSS. Structural analyses were performed with an analysis package program named I-DEAS for the conventional and the hydroforming seat back frame. The seat back frame made by hydroforming is not only about 23 percent lightweight, but also about 20 percent high strength compared with conventional that.

A pneumatic tire is made up of many flexible filaments of high modulus cord of natural textile, synthetic polymer, glass fiber, or fine hard drawn steel embedded in and bonded to a matrix of low modulus polymetric material. Adhesion property of these materials is very important in tire durability safety because belt-leaving-belt tread separation reduces the ability of a driver to control a vehicle, whether or not the separation is accompanied by a loss of air. In this study adhesion test of carcass-belt-tread is conducted on material properties of 5 PCR tire model, which are on sale in domestic market and analyzed adhesion properties. For those tire models FMVSS 109 indoor high speed durability test is conducted to analyze the correlation between adhesion force and high speed performance of tires and found the correlation between the two test results.

According to the United States FMVSS 208, every passenger car on the market after September of 2006 must install a safety system, which can deploy the airbag with different intensity or suppression based on the passenger type, to reduce infant and child injuries from airbag deployments. The Weight Classification System, which has been developed by Hyundai Autonet, is a system that classifies the person occupying the passenger seat. To overcome sensing problems due to the weight sensors small voltage, the Distributed Systems Interface is adopted.

자동차 내장 설계의 주요 검토 사항으로 거주성, 조작성, 시인/시계성, 승강성, 적재성, 안전성 등 을 들 수 있다. 특히, 승용차의 주행 시 운전자는 주위 환경에서 일어나는 상황의 대부분을 눈을 통해 인식하게 되므로, 주행 중 운전자에게 충분한 시계를 확보해 주는 것이 자동차의 설계에서 중요한 요인 이 된다. 본 연구에서는 시계성을 중심으로 미국의 FMVSS(Federal Motor Vehicle Sfety Standard), 유럽의 EEC(European Economy Community), 한국공업규격 등에서 규정하고있는 시계 요소들을 조사 비교하고, 시계 성 평가의 기준으로 활용한다. 시계성을 평가하기 위해 전방가시거리, 전방수평시계, Inside Rear View Mirror와 Outside Rear View Mirror를 통해 볼 수 있는 Viewing angle, Inside Rear View Mirror와 95%ile Eyellipse와 높이 등의 요소를 측정하였다. 측정 결과는 승용차의 운전 공간 내의 0ptimal Eye Point를 결 정하는 데 이용되며, 시인/시계성을 개선하는 Seating Packaging Procedure 개발의 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

A seat frame structure in automotive vehicles made of polymer matrix composite to achieve weight reduction at low cost was developed. In order to design and manufacture the actual product, studies on material selection, and structural analyses were performed. Structural analyses were performed with a finite element analysis. Analyses were done for several cases suggested in various safety regulations of FMVSS(Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards). Each result was utilized to modify the actual shape to obtain a lighter, safer and more stable design. The final design was used to produce a sample bottom plate of the seat structure. Substitution of the material resulted in a weight reduction effect with equivalent strength, fatigue and impact characteristics. Furthermore, several effects from the replacement of the material besides weight reduction were also examined.

The express/intercity bus models have been developing for wheelchair users to provide the preferable long-distance travels by the Korean government research. In the previous studies, evaluation method was set up for the wheelchair users' safety and the study for wheelchair occupants' safety was performed under various crash loadings mimic to real accidents, frontal crash, side impact and rollover, etc. This study was focused on the evaluation of occupant behaviors and injuries (head and chest) during vehicle impact loading cases in order to ensure the safety of wheelchair passengers in the bus. The occupant response and belt loading data during the sled FE simulation were compared with those of the sled test. The simulation results showed overall safety tolerances of wheelchair occupants under the severe frontal deceleration, side impact loading based on the FMVSS 214 configuration and bus rollover loading.

Optimum design of bumper beam is investigated using nonlinear CAE structural analysis techniques.In order to minimize its weight, while enhancing structural performances, bumper beam structural analyses were carried out to produce optimum section. Model is composed of bumper beam and stay. First, considering FMVSS safety standard, static strength and energy absorbing capability were estimated for several competitive bumpers through pendulum static analysis, and most promising section was chosen. Next, to ensure dynamic crashworthinesss performance for center pole impact was evaluated for the bumper beam with chosen section through pendulum static analysis, referring to DHS bumper dynamic impact standard. Finally, 2.5 mph bumper beam was designed and its structural performance was estimated. Through this investigation, an optimized bumper beam section with less weight of 20% while maintaining almost equal carshworthiness, compared with a conventional bumper beam section which proved its impact crashworthiness by experiments, was developed.

Fine blanking is a specialized form of blanking where there is no fracture zone when shearing. This is achieved by compressing the whole part and then an upper and lower punch extract the blank. This allows the process to hold very tight tolerances, and perhaps eliminate secondary operations. In the present study, tensile test and numerical simulation has been performed to investigate distribution of deformation and stress of car seat recliner. The commercial ABAQUS/Explicit software was applied for analyzing the stress and strain of the recliner. In analysis, three lock gear has reached the maximum moment on rotational degree of 2.27. This is more than two times than maximum moment of same size recliner, and can be used safely. Therefore, these can use as criterion of actual structural design.

Along with the recent increase in traffic volume of vehicles, accidents involving rollover of vehicles have been rapidly increased, resulting in an increase casualties. And to prevent this, various technologies such as vehicle crash test equipment and analysis program development have been advanced. In this study, the applied vehicle model is FORD EXPLORER model, and PC-Crash program for vehicle collision analysis is used to predict the rollover accident behavior of SUV and the collision velocity. Compared with the actual rollover behavior of SUV through the FMVSS No 208 regulations, the analysis results showed similar results, the characteristics of the collision velocity and roll angle showed a tendency that the error rate slightly increased after 1000 msec. Then, as a result of considering using the database of NHTSA, it is shown that the rollover accident occur most frequently in the range of the collision velocity of 15~77 km/h and the collision angle of $22{\sim}74^{\circ}$. And it is possible to estimate the vehicle speed and collision time when the vehicle roof is broken by reconstructing the vehicle starting position, the roof failure position and the stop position by applying the actual accident case.
