Currently many safety assessment tests are conducted by crashing a vehicle against a rigid or deformable barrier. It is quite rational to evaluate crash performance of a vehicle in a barrier test in terms of vehicle stiffness and strength. However, there has been a lot of debate on whether barrier testing is a duplicate of real world crash collisions. One of the issues is car to car compatability. There are two essential subjects in compatability. One is partner-protection when crashing into another vehicle and the other is self-protection when struck by another vehicle. When considering a car to car frontal crash between a mini car and a large heavy car, it is necessary to evaluate human body stiffness of each vehicle. In this study, in order to evaluate the compatability of cars in car-to-car crashes, four tests were conducted. Test speed of each car is 48.3km/h, and the overlap of the mini and large car is $40\%$, and the overlap of the small cars is $100\%$. In all tests, only a drive dummy is used. The test results of the car to car crash test show that vehicle safety standard of mini car is not satisfied compared with large heavy car and HIC value of mini car is higher than large car. In this case observed that the relatively lower stiffness and weight of the mini car resulted in absorbing a large share of the total input energy of the system when crashed into the large heavy car.

This research investigates injury values and vehicle deformation for vehicle frontal crash compatibility. To investigate compatibility in an individual case, it is possible to impact two vehicles and evaluate the injury values and deformations in both vehicles. In this study, four tests were conducted to evaluate compatibility. A large and mini vehicle were subjected to a frontal car-to-car crash test at a speed of 48.3 km/h with an offset of 40%. An inclination car-to-car crash test using the large and small vehicle were conducted at 30 km/h at a $30^{\circ}$ angle. The results of the 48.3 km/h, car-to-car frontal crash revealed extremely high injury values on the chest and upper leg of the Hybrid III 50% driver dummy with seatbelt in the mini vehicle compared to the large vehicle. For the 30 km/h, car-to-car inclination crash, however, injury values in the small vehicle were 1.5 times higher compared to the large vehicle.

본 연구에서는 경차와 대형차의 중공축을 가진 스테빌라이저 모델들의 비틀림 강성과 내구성을 해석하여 서로 비교 및 검토하였다. Model 1이 가해진 모우멘트가 Model 2에 비하여 3배 이상이었지만 최대변형량은 2.6배 정도로 크게 나타났다. Model 1, Model 2 공히, 스테빌라이저 바 링크 목 부분에서 가장 많은 응력을 받는 것으로 보인다. 또한 Model 1의 최대응력은 Model 2보다 2.9배 정도로 크게 나타났다. 대형차에서의 Model 1이 소형차에서의 Model 2 보다 약 20배 이상의 변형 에너지를 보였다. 전반적으로 스테빌라이저의 변형 에너지보다 스테빌라이저 바를 고정해주는 모멘트를 가한 쪽의 브라켓 부분의 값이 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 본 연구에서의 해석 결과들은 경차나 대형차에서의 스테빌라이저의 내구성이 있는 부품으로서 그 융합연구 설계에 도움이 될 수 있다고 사료된다.

Since introducing the offset frontal impact test in EuroNCAP in 1997, the vehicle has been constantly changing according to its usage and purpose. As of 2019, many vehicles have been released to the public, which has led to a large structural mass difference between small, medium and large vehicles. Also, the geometry of the front of the vehicle is completely different for each vehicle and tends not to be perfectly aligned at frontal collisions. The difference in mass of each of these vehicles and less performing structures for offset crashes have led to dramatically worse outcome in a car to car offset frontal impact tests. Even though a decade later passenger cars have become much safer due to consumer test programs and regulatory requirements, the aggressiveness and compatibility that can cause damage to the opponent car in the event of car to car collision is not considered in the above-mentioned section, and therefore much improvement is needed. After many years of study to solve this problem, EuroNCAP has developed a new mode MPDB offset front test that considers the aggressiveness and compatibility that can affect the opponent cars that have collided. This paper introduces the development process of aggressiveness and compatibility evaluation method of MPDB in EuroNCAP which will be implemented from 2020. Several impact tests have been conducted at different test conditions to rate the vehicle structure performance only focused on aggressiveness and compatibility of MPDB.

Experimental approach was investigated to improve gear rattle noise of a small car. During the development of a small car serious problem occurred inside the transmission gear units. The transmission was a carried over system from a less powered predecessor. Several components of suspicion were investigated, and applied to reduce rattle noise. In general, backlash, the assembly gaps, and the clutch disk rattle induce gear rattle noise. Above mentioned improvements were applied to reduce the noise, but still problem remained. Meanwhile, the temperature inside the gearbox was reported to be unusually high and the life of transmission oil quality deteriorated drastically, Temperature increment caused the large gap between the bearing outer diameter and the transmission housing. Large gap made the gear shaft assembly move intermittently and impact each other. The tighter control of the assembly gap allowed the rotating shafts smoothly and reduced the gear rattle noise even in the high temperature range.

The number of vehicle accidents related to the side impact has increased since 1990 in Korea, thus the side impact test has been performed as one of the major vehicle evaluations of the Korean New Car Assessment Program(KNCAP) in 2003. A total of 77 vehicles of eight different types(compact, small, semi-midsize, midsize, and large sedans and small, midsize, and large sports utility vehicles) were tested in side impact and side pole impact conditions. In this study, the head and thorax injury values(HICs and chest deflections) of the side impact tests performed between 2003 and 2013 were investigated in terms of vehicle type, test year, and test condition. The recent vehicles showed better safety performances(lower injury values) and similar injury patterns were obtained between side impact and pole side impact tests.

Since very large and high-speed ships have been appeared in marine transportation from 1970s, these ships with poor maneuverability have made large-scale accidents frequently all over the world. The IMO(International Maritime Organization) recommended that ship designers should evaluate various maneuvering performance at initial stage and serve them to ship operators when they deliver a new ship. Meantime, it is expected that ships with large and wide superstructure would have poor maneuverability when they are affected by strong wind. Therefore, car carrier ship with large superstructure was selected to confirm how the ship responds to the external wind forces in this paper. The lateral and transverse projected areas above the water level were considered and ship behaviors were checked by change of rudder angles under severe wind conditions of different directions. In addition, hydrodynamic derivatives and coefficients were predicted from ship particulars and numerical calculations were carried out with the mathematical model of low speed maneuvering motions.

교통의 흐름에 있어서의 트럭 및 콘테이너 차량 등 대형차량의 혼입은 차체의 크기에 기인한 넓은 공간의 점유 및 승용차에 비해 상대적으로 떨어지는 차량운행 능력 등의 특성 때문에 도로의 용량을 감소시키는 중요한 요인이 된다. 도로의 교통용량산정 시 이러한 대형차량의 혼입에 의한 용량의 감소를 나타내는 척도로서의 승용차 환산계수의 개념은 1965년 도로용량편람에서 처음으로 도입되었으며, 이후 구미의 많은 학자들에 의해 연구되었다. 본 연구에서는 차량배열 형태에 따른 차두시간의 분석을 통해 환산계수의 도출을 시도하였다. 분석을 위한 교통자료의 수집은 통행차량 차종의 대부분이 승용차와 대형차로 구성되어 있으며 비교적 관측이 용이한 부산시 도시고속도로의 평지구간에서 첨두시간과 비 첨두시간으로 나누어 실시되었다. 본 연구에서의 환산계수 산정방법은 차두시간의 분석을 통한 미시적 접근방법인바, 동방법의 정확성 및 효율적 검증을 위해서는 거시적 접근 방법에 의한 산정방법과의 비교분석이 요구된다.

Recently study on components for a electric golf car and a utility car driven by a electric motor has been performed actively, and the study on a drive motor, a inverter and a battery focuses on a small, light weight and high power density source to improve fuel efficiency using limited electric energy. Especially, since a utility car such as a golf car performance depends on initial acceleration and maximum speed capability, a drive system requires high power and large and wide operation area, This study therefore investigates on the interior permanent magnet synchronous motor with high power density and wide operation, and is verified with the test result after design and characteristic analysis is performed.
