A multi-objective optimization technique was implemented to obtain optimal topologies of the inner reinforcement for a vehicle's hood simultaneously considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion and natural frequency. In addition, a smoothing scheme was used to suppress the checkerboard patterns in the ESO method. Two models with different curvature were chosen in order to investigate the effect of curvature on the static stiffness and natural frequency of the inner reinforcement. A scale factor was employed to properly reflect the effect of each objective function. From several combinations of weighting factors, a Pareto-optimal topology solution was obtained. As the weighting factor for the elastic strain efficiency went from 1 to 0, the optimal topologies transmitted from the optimal topology of a static stiffness problem to that of a natural frequency problem. It was also found that the higher curvature model had a larger static stiffness and natural frequency than the lower curvature model. From the results, it is concluded that the ESO method with a smoothing scheme was effectively applied to topology optimization of the inner reinforcement of a vehicle's hood.

Topology optimization of the inner reinforcement for a vehicle's hood has been performed by evolutionary structural optimization(ESO) using a smoothing scheme. The purpose of this study is to obtain optimal topology of the inner reinforcement for a vehicle's hood considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion simultaneously. To do this, the multiobjective optimization technique was implemented. Optimal topologies were obtained by the ESO method. From several combinations of weighting factors, a Pareto-optimal solution was obtained. Also, a smoothing scheme was implemented to suppress the checkerboard pattern in the procedure of topology optimization. It is concluded that ESO method with a smoothing scheme is effectively applied to topology optimization of the inner reinforcement of a vehicle's hood considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion.

Optimization technique to find a path of an inner reinforcement of an automobile hood is proposed by using design sensitivity informations. The strength and modal characteristics of the automobile hood are analyzed and their design sensitivity analyses with respect to the thickness are carried out using MSC/NASTRAN. Based on the design sensitivity analysis, determination of design variables and response functions is discussed. Techniques improving design from design sensitivity informations are suggested and the double-layer method is newly proposed to optimize the path of stiffener for a shell structure, Using the suggested method, we redesign a new inner reinforcement of an automobile hood and compare the responses with the original design. It is confirmed that new design improved in the frequency responses without the weight increasement.

Reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) is to get an optimal topology satisfying uncertainties of design variables. In this study, reliability-based topology optimization method is applied to the inner reinforcement of vehicle's hood based on BESO. A multi-objective topology optimization technique was implemented to obtain optimal topology of the inner reinforcement of the hood. considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion as well as natural frequency. Performance measure approach (PMA), which has probabilistic constraints that are formulated in terms of the reliability index, is adopted to evaluate the probabilistic constraints. To evaluate the obtained optimal topology by RBTO, it is compared with that of DTO of the inner reinforcement of the hood. It is found that the more suitable topology is obtained through RBTO than DTO even though the final volume of RBTO is a little bit larger than that of DTO. From the result, multiobjective optimization technique based on the BESO can be applied very effectively in topology optimization for vehicle's hood reinforcement considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion as well as natural frequency.

The objective of this paper is to design stamping die of inner reinforcement panel with DL 950 advanced high strength steel as stamping materials through numerical analyses and experiments. The stamping process was designed as bending dominant process consisting of 1 step of notching and 4 steps of bending processes. In order to obtain a proper design of the stamping die, various three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analyses were performed using a commercial code AUTOFORM V4.2. Design parameter of stamping die was chosen as the corner radius of the stamping die for each step. From the results of the FE analysis, feasible corner radii of the stamping die, which can minimize the deviation of corner angle of the stamped part from design data, and forming load for each part were estimated. Stamping experiments were carried out using the manufactured stamping die according to the proposed die design. The results of experiments were shown that the stamping die can successfully manufacture the inner reinforcement panel with DL 950 advanced high strength steel as base stamping material.

It is necessary for the design of lead frame punches in blanking to consider buckling because inner lead pitch of lead frame has been narrowed by miniaturization and high accumulation of semiconductor. In addition, if process variables change in press stamping process, the lift of punches is no longer influenced in wear and punches can be broken suddenly. To prevent the fracture of fine pitch lead frame punches, having considered applying reinforcement to it, this paper verified the design with buckling analysis. This study presents the optimal position and number of reinforcement to be attached to punches. Finally this study presents design rules of attaching reinforcement.

The automotive industry faces many competitive challenges including weight and cost reduction to meet need for higher fuel economy. Tailored blanks offer the opportunity to decrease door weight, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve door stiffness. Optimization technology is applied to the inner panel of a door which is made by tailored blanks. The design of tailored blanks door starts from an existing door. At first, the hinge reinforcement and inner reinforcement are removed to use tailored blanks technology. The number of parts and the welding lines are determined from intuitions and the structural analysis results of the existing door. Size optimization is carried out to find thickness while the stiffness constraints are satisfied. The door hinge system is optimized using design of experiment approach. A commercial optimization software MSC/NASTRAN is utilized for the structural analysis and the optimization processes.

쉴드TBM 터널에서 단면 부족이나 큰 변형이 세그먼트 라이닝의 안정성에 우려될 경우 터널 외부에 지반 그라우팅으로 보강하거나 터널 내부에 강판 보강, 링 빔 보강, Inner double layer lining으로 보강하는 경우가 있다. 또한, 기존의 쉴드 TBM 터널의 해석은 세그먼트라이닝의 분절 특성을 고려하지 않는 연속체의 강성일체법으로 해석되어왔다. 본 연구는 내부 강재 라이닝으로 보강한 double layer 보강 단면에 대해 보강 메커니즘을 연구하였다. 본 연구는 세그먼트 라이닝에 대한 모델링을 개선하여 세그먼트 라이닝의 분절 특성을 고려한 분절체 모델링(BJM)을 적용하였고 이를 통해 세그먼트 라이닝의 변형 특성을 반영한 double layer 보강 단면을 해석하였다. 연구 결과 기존 콘크리트 세그먼트 라이닝은 하중을 일정부분 분담하는 역할이 아닌 터널 주변 지반을 보강한 것과 같은 역할을 하였다. 일반적으로, 세그먼트 라이닝의 분절을 고려한 BJM 모델과 분절을 고려하지 않는 강성일체법 모두 하중을 받은 라이닝의 변형 형상과 응력 분포가 유사하게 나타났다. 그러나 하중의 강도가 임계치를 넘는 경우 변형의 양상에 차이가 있으며 변형 특성을 보다 면밀히 검토할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Corrosion of reinforcement and deterioration of concrete short the lifetime of reinforced concrete structure and affect the safety of the structure. In particular, the corrosion of reinforcement causing the inner pressure of the interface between the concrete and reinforcement is known to significantly contribute to the premature deterioration of concrete structure. Several attempts have been made to predict the cracking time of the concrete structure. However, problems such as the lack of reproducibility of concrete tests and non-uniformity of materials have hampered thess kinds of studies. Thus, the mechanism of the concrete cracking due to reinforcement corrosion is in the way. This studymeasured the mechanical properties of corrosion products using the nano-indentation test method. Likewise, the critical thickness of corrosion products for the cracking of concrete cover was investigated using the finite element and experimental methods.

내부구속중공 RC(Internally Confined Hollow RC, ICH RC) 기둥이란 중공 RC 기둥의 중공부에 내부튜브를 삽입하여 코어 콘크리트를 3축 구속 상태에 놓이게 하여 기둥의 강도와 연성도를 증가시킨 기둥이다. ICH RC 기둥의 구속응력에 대한 연구는 선행 연구자에 의하여 이루어 졌으나 외부 구속응력에 대한 연구만 진행된 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 중공 RC 기둥과 ICH RC 기둥의 구속응력을 유한요소 해석프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 이론 구속응력과 외부 구속응력 그리고 내부 구속응력과의 관계를 도출하였으며, 이를 이용하여 기존의 내부 튜브 파괴조건식을 기반으로 수정 내부튜브 파괴 조건식을 제안하였다. 이론 구속응력과 내부 구속응력과의 관계를 회귀 분석식을 이용하여 나타내어 내부 구속응력을 쉽게 산정할 수 있다. 또한 수정 내부 튜브 파괴 조건식을 이용하여 ICH RC 기둥을 설계할 경우 동일 구속응력대비 기존의 파괴조건식보다 약 50%의 내부 튜브 두께를 감소할 수 있어 경제성을 확보하였다.
