Blind rivet nuts are increasingly used in automotive for the joining of sheets. Their application, however, requires appropriate design guides to prevent catastrophic events arising from the failure of joints. In this study, the shaft shape of a frequently used M8 blind rivet nut is optimized based on 3D numerical analysis of the blind rivet nut considering the characteristics of thread. The thread needs to be modeled to suitably consider the fastening of the M8 bolt after the crimping process. FE analysis showed that while the friction in the contact between crimp flange and plate has no significant effect on the crimp geometry, shaft thickness (t) and shaft height (h) are the most significant design variables. The parameter study including various combinations of t and h reveals that they affect the gap (the distance between the crimped flange and the plate that develops through riveting) and the load acting on the plate. The gap is an indicator of the tightening force. It is found that t is inversely proportional to the gap, and proportional to the load, whereas h is proportional to the gap and inversely proportional to the load. Based on our FE analysis results, we propose the range 0.062 < t/h < 0.1 to ensure sufficient fastening (high clamping load, small gap) of the M8 blind rivet nut. The design guide for determining the t/h ratio proposed in this study can be used for general quantitative analysis of the size and the t/h ratio of blind rivet nuts.

In the case of a fire accident on a ship or an offshore plant, the design of the bulkhead penetration piece must be verified via a fire test procedure (FTP), as specified by the Maritime Safety Committee (MSC). The purpose of this study is to verify both the numerical analysis results and the design specifications for penetration pieces that could be applied to the A60 class bulkhead division. In this study, the FTP was carried out in accordance with the test procedure prescribed in the MSC regulation. In order to review the fire resistance performance according to the material type, bulkhead penetration pieces for the FTP were made from brass, carbon steel for machine structures (S45C), and austenite stainless steel (SUS316). In addition, spray-type insulation and mechanical fastener-type insulation were applied to investigate the fire resistance performance according to the type of insulation. To verify the heat transfer numerical analysis results for the A60 class bulkhead penetrating piece from this test study, the design specifications of the penetrating piece material and the insulation type applicable to a ship and an offshore plant were identified.

항공기 복합재료 날개 구조는 대부분 접착 혹은 패스너로 체결되어 있는데, 이러한 적층 구조 복합재료는 층간 강도가 취약하여 층간 분리가 일어나기 쉽다. 이러한 적층 복합재료의 단점을 보완하기 위해 두께 방향의 섬유를 보강한 3차원 직조형 복합재료를 통하여 강도, 손상 내구성, 충격 및 피로 하중을 향상시킬 수 있다. 또한, 자동화된 직조 공정에 의하여 단일 구조 near-net-shape의 프리폼 제조가 가능하기 때문에 공정 단축, 체결 부품 감소로 복합재료 전체 가격을 절감할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3차원 직조형 복합재료의 항공기 구조물 적용 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 3차원 프리폼의 기본적인 구조인 orthogonal(ORT), layer-to-layer(LTL), through-the-thickness(TTT) 패턴을 직조하고 이를 복합재료로 성형하여 압축 시험, 인장 시험, Open-hole 인장 시험을 하였다. 이 중 orthogonal 직조 복합재료가 인장 및 압축 탄성계수와 강도 모두 가장 높았으며 노치 민감도에서도 orthogonal 복합재료가 일방향 적층복합재료나 패브릭 적층 복합재료에 비하여 가장 우수한 특성을 보였다.
