The setting of values on door hinge mounting compensation for door assembly tolerance is a constant quality issue in vehicle production. Generally, heuristic methods are used in satisfying appropriate door gap and level difference, flushness to improve quality. However, these methods are influenced by the engineer's skills and working environment and result an increasement of development costs. In order to solve these problems, the system which suggests hinge mounting compensation value using CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) analysis is proposed in this study. A structural analysis model was constructed to predict the door gap and level difference, flushness through CAE based on CAD (Computer Aided Design) data. The deformations of 6-degrees of freedom which can occur in real vehicle doors was considered using a stiffness model which utilize an analysis model. The analysis model was verified using 3D scanning of real vehicle door hinge deformation. Then, system model which applying the structural analysis model suggested the final adjustment amount of the hinge mounting to obtain the target door gap and the level difference by inputting the measured value. The proposed system was validated using the simulation and showed a reliability in vehicle hinge mounting compensation process. This study suggests the possibility of using the CAE analysis for setting values of hinge mounting compensation in actual vehicle production.

The purpose of this study is to predict the dynamic behavior of clamshell hood system on the harsh road driving condition, and secure the safety and durability performance of the system. The equation of motion of hood system is derived and the numerical analysis is implemented to obtain the lateral movement of the hood system. Also, the actual Belgian road test results are correlated to the predicted ones, and confirm the reliability of the system. Then, the parameter study is conducted to figure out the sensitive factors to affect the dynamic behavior, and the engineering design guide to make the system robust to confine the minimum friction force generated from hood latch and maximum hood weight is suggested from this research.
