Durability estimation of a prototype vehicle has traditionally relied heavily on accelerated durability tests using predefined proving grounds or rig tests using a road simulator. By use of those tests, it is very difficult to predict durability failures in actual service environments. This motivated the development of an integrated CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) methodology for the durability estimation of a prototype vehicle in actual service environments. Since expensive computational costs such as computation time and hardware resources are required for a full vehicle simulation in those environments with a very long span of event time, the conventional CAE methodologies have little feasibility. An efficient computational methodology for durability estimations is applied with theoretical developments. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is shown by the comparison of results of the typical actual service environment such as the city mode with those of the typical accelerated durability test over the Belgian road.

This study investigates fatigue life and possibility damaged at disk brake of automobile by the simulation of fatigue analysis. Among nonconstant fatigue loads, the case of 'SAE Bracket History' which is the severest at the variation of load tends to be most unstable. The case of 'Sample History' which becomes slower at the variation of load tends to be most stable. The value of maximum relative damage in case of 'SAE Bracket History' is occurred near the average stress '0' and this case can be shown to have the possibility to affect more damage than another case. As the result of this study is applied to automobile parts with non constant loads, durability can be improved during drive by preventing any damage.

This study examines thermal safety on three-way catalyst that dominates 70 % among whole exhaust gas purification device in 2003. Three-way catalyst durability in the Korea requires 5 years/80,000 km in 1988 but require 10 years/120,000 km after 2002. Three-way catalyst durability in the USA requires 7 years/120,000 km but require 10 years/160,000 km after 2004. Three-way catalyst maintains high temperature in interior domain but maintains low temperature on outside surface. Therefore this device shows tensile stress on outside surface. Temperature distribution of three-way catalyst was acquired by thermal flow analysis for predicted thermal flow parameter. Thermal stress analysis for three-way catalysis was performed based on this temperature distribution. Thermal safety of three-way catalyst was estimated by power law dynamic fatigue life estimation and strength reduction methods for thermal stress.

For most bearings, it is a common requirement to have long durability. Especially wheel bearing fatigue life is the most important in automotive quality. The contact fatigue life analysis of automotive wheel bearing considering real raceway rough surface is presented in this paper. Contact stresses are obtained by contact analysis of a semi-infinite solid based on the use of influence functions; the subsurface stress field is obtained using rectangular patch solutions. Mesoscopic multiaxial fatigue criterion which can yield satisfactory results for non-proportional loading is then applied to predict fatigue damage. Suitable counting method and damage rule were used to calculate the fatigue life of random loading caused by rough surface. The life analysis considering real rough surface of wheel bearing raceway is in good agreement with the experimental results.

In the manufacture of automobile suspension modules at a company as parts supplier, the design process includes the detail design and the design modification via structural and fatigue durability analyses considering PoF(physics of failure) of their weldments that are repeated more than four times sequentially. The approval of the design and the release of final drawings follows. For the suspension modules, e.g. control arms and cross member, the man-hours per worker required in the process outlined above can reach as high as 1,414hours. Application of the developed integrated design system can reduce the man-hours of 1,004. In comparison with the conventional design process, this integrated design system reduces the required time by about 40%. If expense is taken into account, a savings of approximately $192,000 is estimated, assuming the design process accounts for 1.5% of total sales for the parts supplier

Recently, the design process for a railway bogie frame in Europe has been carried out according to the norm EN 13749. The activities in the norm EN shall demonstrate that the design of the bogie frame fulfills the acceptances of 4 steps of the program such as structural calculation, static tests, fatigue test and on-tracks tests. At the end of the acceptance program, the on-tracks tests have the aim to measure the real stress history generated in operation and to verify that they are reasonably next to those calculated and measured on the test rig. Therefore, in order to assure the safety of the railway vehicle, it is important to examined the durability of that under load histories measured from on-tracks tests. In this study, under variable amplitude loading based on the actual acceleration history, fatigue analysis of the welding bogie frame is investigated by using durability software. Moreover, the fatigue life of the frame under the loading in the norm EN fatigue test condition is evaluated and compared with the life under variable amplitude loading.

굴삭기 유압실린더는 붐, 암, 버킷과 같은 작업장치를 작동시키는 핵심 부품이다. 일반적으로 유압실린더는 반복적인 고압으로 인해 좌굴이나 피로 파손과 같은 구조적 문제가 종종 발생한다. 따라서, 유압실린더의 내구설계 시 설계수명 동안의 피로, 항복, 좌굴 등에 대한 구조 안전도 평가가 반드시 이루어져야 한다. 내구설계는 기본설계와 상세설계 두 단계로 구성되는데, 기본설계 단계에서는 굴삭기의 작업능력, 작업속도, 작업영역 등을 고려하여 항복과 좌굴 안전도를 만족하도록 로드와 튜브의 주요 치수를 결정한다. 상세설계 단계에서는 로드 노치, 용접부, 튜브 끝단, 글랜드, 오리피스, 쿠션링 등의 상세치수를 주로 피로 안전도 측면에서 결정한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 내구설계의 전반적인 절차와 각 설계 단계에서 내구설계 평가를 위한 해석기법에 대해 기술하였다.

We suggest a design method for reducing the number of spot welds in the vehicle body in terms of durability. To reduce the number of spot welds, we use the DOE(Design of Experiments) analysis with two influence indices for the durability and the fatigue life of a spot weld itself. Through the suggested design method, we select spot welds that could be removed without serious reduction of durability of the whole model. We apply this new methodology to the BIW(Body In White) model of a vehicle by choosing some practical parts where durability-related point of view must be considered importantly by experience.

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.
