In the present study, the effects of orthogonal ribs on structural warpage during injection molding process were investigated. Basic ribbed models for the evaluation of degree of warpage were introduced and designed. Injection molds for these models are manufactured based on the full 3D CAD/CAM technology and specimens are prepared for experiment. Numerical analysis using commercial plastic injection molding analysis software was also performed to compare the results with experimental ones. The variations of materials and parameters such as injection time, mold temperature, melt temperature, holding time were considered in the present work. It was shown that orthogonal ribs have significant effect on the reduction of warpage during the injection molding process.

Occupant protection in the side impact of a vehicle becomes one of the most important issues today. So, to reduce development time and cost, it needs test equipment which conducts an accurate simulation of the side impact crash. This paper describes a new test method for side impact, which utilizes a standard 12inch-HYGE-type sled facility. If a side impact sled test can simulate vehicle intrusion very well, it will contribute to develop full-scale side impact crash performance. The newly developed sled test method enables simulation for dummy motion, injury, door velocity, trim crack, and vehicle structure to be accurate. Ant also this sled test method can be applied to the development of side air-bag.

The connector is the most important part of a composite beam and promotes a composite action between a steel beam and concrete slab. This paper presents the experiment results for three large-scale beams with a newly puzzle shape of crestbond. The behavior of this connector in a composite beam was investigated, and the results were correlated with those obtained from push-out-test specimens. Four-point-bending load testing was carried out on steel-concrete composite beam models to consider the effects of the concrete strength, number of transverse rebars in the crestbond, and width of the concrete slab. Then, the deflection, ultimate load, and strains of the concrete, steel beam, and crestbond; the relative slip between the steel beam and the concrete slab at the end of the beams; and the failure mechanism were observed. The results showed that the general behavior of a steel-concrete composite beam using the newly puzzle shape of crestbond shear connectors was similar to that of a steel-concrete composite beam using conventional shear connectors. These newly puzzle shape of crestbond shear connectors can be used as shear connectors, and should be considered for application in composite bridges, which have a large number of steel beams.

본 연구는 기존의 강지보재보다 우수한 고강도 격자지보재를 개발하여 그 성능을 평가하기 위함이다. 이를 위해 수치해석을 이용한 지보재의 구조적 특성을 분석하였고, 시작품에 대한 최대 굽힘하중시험과 용접이음부 인장강도시험을 실시하여 그 성능을 평가하였다. 구조해석 결과에 따른 최적의 상하부부재와 플레이트의 규격은 50 mm × 31.8 mm × 25.4 mm로 시공성과 경제적이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 굽힘 하중시험으로부터 확정된 규격 55 mm × 30 mm × 20 mm와 85 mm × 30 mm × 20 mm의 고강도 격자지보재는 기준값과 H형강 100과 125의 목표값 모두 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 이론 처짐량과 실제 처짐량의 비를 검토한 결과, 이 연구에서 개발된 고강도 격자지보재는 독일연방 철도국에서 제시하고 있는 격자지보재 처짐량의 평가기준 5 이하로 나타났다. 마지막으로 용접이음부에 대한 인장시험 결과는 고강도 격자지보재의 주봉-보조봉-플레이트가 접하는 용접이음부 인장강도가 목표값 이상으로 나타나 용접이음부에 대한 안정성은 충분한 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, the application of the plastic material to automotive components and structures has steadily increased to satisfy demands on the saving of overall weight and the improvement of energy efficiency. The objective of this paper is to investigate the development of a bumper back-beam using a thermoplastic olefin (TPO). The bumper back-beam was designed to be manufactured from the injection molding process. In order to obtain a proper design of the bumper back-beam, three-dimensional finite element analyses were performed for various design alternatives. Stress-strain curves for different strain rates were measured by high speed tensile tests of the TPO to consider strain rate effects in the FEA. The influence of the sectional shape and the rib formation on the contact force-intrusion curves, the deflection and the energy absorption rate of the bumper back-beam was examined. From the results of the examination, a proper design of the bumper back-beam was acquired. The bumper back-beam consisting of TPO was fabricated from the injection moulding process and the vibration welding. Pendulum crash tests were carried out using the fabricated bumper back-beam. The results of the tests showed that the designed bumper back-beam can satisfy requirements of the federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS). Through the comparison of the previously designed bumper back-beam with the newly designed bumper back beam, it was noted that the weight of the designed bumper back-beam is lighter than that of the previously designed bumper back beam by nearly 16 %. In addition, it was considered that the newly designed bumper back beam can improve recycling of the bumper back-beam.

This paper presents an investigation of the ground response of a gob-side gateroad suffering mining stress induced by a 21 m-thick coal seam extraction. A field observation, including entry convergence and stress changes monitoring, was first conducted in the tailgate 8209. The observation results of entry convergence showed that, during the adjacent panel 8210 retreating period, the deformation of the gob-side gateroad experienced a continuous increase stage, subsequently, an accelerating increase stage, and finally, a slow increase stage. However, strong ground response, including roof bending deflection, rib extrusion and floor heave, occurred during the current panel 8209 retreating period, and the maximum floor heave reached 1530 mm. The stress changes within coal mass of the two ribs demonstrated that the gateroad was always located in the stress concentrated area, which responsible for the strong response of the tailgate 8209. Subsequently, a hydraulic fracture technique was proposed to pre-fracture the two hard roofs above the tailgate 8209, thus decreasing the induced disturbance on the tailgate. The validity of the above roof treatment was verified via field application. The finding of this study could be a reference for understanding the stability control of the gob-side gateroad in extra thick coal seams mining.

3D 프린팅 기술은 다양한 산업분야에서 개념모델 및 기능성 시제품을 제작하는데 많이 응용되고 있지만, 3D 프린팅 소재 및 제작된 제품 신뢰성 등의 여러 가지 이유로 상용화 제품으로 적용되는 데 한계가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 3D 프린팅 기술을 이용한 산업적 응용분야 중 하나로 발전소 저탄장에 사용되는 풀 코드 스위치 모듈의 부품들 중 잦은 돌발 상황으로 인해 파손이 자주 발생하는 허브 구동부와 레버 고정부 부품들에 대해 현장에서 작업자들이 단기 대체부품으로 적용이 가능하도록 하는 부품 최적 설계 및 FDM 방식 3D 프린팅 제조공정기술에 대한 연구결과를 제시하였다. 3D 프린팅 기술의 경우 소재 적용에 있어서 한계가 존재하므로, 본 논문에서는 구조 최적화 설계를 통해 구조 안정성을 확보하는 방안에 대해 연구를 수행하였다. 허브 구동부 부품에 대해 내부 구조 형상 및 구조 설계 변수 최적화를 수행하여 좌측구동모드에서는 안전계수가 153.67% 증가한 1.243을 확보할 수 있었으며, 우측구동모드에서는 404.96% 증가한 3.156을 확보할 수 있었다. 레버 고정부 부품의 경우, 반복적인 스위칭 구동에 의한 굽힘 모멘트로 인해 발생하는 파손을 최소화하기 위해 구조 최적화 설계를 수행하여 26% 증가한 구조 안전계수(7.52)를 확보할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 3D 프린팅 기술을 단기 대체부품 제조공정에 적용함에 있어서 소재 최적화를 통한 설계보다는 3D 프린팅 공정의 적층특성을 활용한 구조적 최적화 설계기법 이 더욱 유연한 결과를 도출할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
