In this study, we performed the static analysis of a cord-reinforced rubber airspring and generated the three-dimensional half-symmetry model which use the finite-strain shell elements to model the airbag. the three-dimensional hydrostatic fluid elements to model the air-filled cavity, and the rebar elements to model the multi-ply nylon reinforcement of airbag. In addition, a three-dimensional rigid surface is used to define the contact between the airspring and metal bead. The air inside the airspring cavity has been modeled as a compressible fluid satisfying the ideal gas law. The conclusions of this study are as follows. 1) In the pressurization step of analysis, we could predict the change of vertical reaction force, cavity volume and pressure within the airspring. 2) In the second step of analyzing vertical static stiffness, the increase of the vertical load increases the vertical stiffness. 3) In case of changing the angle of nylon cord, the increase the angle of nylon cord increases the vertical stiffness.

The effect of triazine thiol derivative on the physical properties of silica-polychloroprene(CR) composites and glass fiber(MGF)-CR composites was investigated. Optimum cure time of the MGF composites filled with 2-dibuthylamino-4, 6-dithiol-s-triazine(DBT) was the fastest one, while maximum torque was the best in case of the silica composites filled with s-triazine-2,4,6-trithiol(TAT) on the Oscillating Disk Rheometer(ODR) test. Stress-strain curves of the composites showed that the physical properties such as 100% modulus, 300% modulus, tensile strength of the silica composites filled with DBT was very satisfactory and the silica composites filled with TAT was higher density of crosslinking than other crosslinked elastomer. In aging properties, elastomer filled DBT and TAT were progress post-curing reaction with increasing of aging time and it have been improved the tensile strength and crosslinking density.

In this study, the reaction rate constant, activation energy, total crosslinking density, elastic constant, cure properties ($t_5,\;t_{90}$), modulus, and abrasion resistance of rubber compounds were investigated as a function of cure temperatures, cure systems and reinforcing filler loadings. Reaction rate constants showed strong dependence on thc carbon black loading, cure temperature and cure system, and increased sharply with increasing the reaction temperatures. The lowest activation energy was obtained in the efficient cure (EC) system which corresponds to the high level of sulfur to accelerator ratio, and the activation energy was decreased with decreasing the carbon black loadings. The change of carbon black loadings directly affects the modulus and abrasion resistance, but the change of cure system showed various effects on the rubber compounds. Increased carbon black loadings showed the high modulus, improved abrasion resistance and short scorch time but decrease in crosslinking density and elastic constant. Higher crosslinking density and elastic constant were shown in the EC cure system regardless of carbon black loadings, but scorch timc ($t_5$) was not affected by the change of the ratio of sulfur to accelerator. Rapid optimum cure time ($t_{90}$) were showen in the EC cure system. Also, the equivalent cure curve coefficient of rubber compound was 0.96 for conventional cure (CC) system, and 0.94 for semi-efficient cure (SEC) and EC system regardless carbon black loadings. As regarding the abrasion resistance, wear volume showed the logarithmic increase for the loaded weight.

A study was made on the chemical treatment of silica and silane coupling agents, bistriethox ysilylpropyltetrasulfide(Si 69) and ${\gamma}$-mercaptopropyltrimethoxy silane (MPS) for reinforcement of silica formulation. The effects of chemical treatment method and the most popular two coupling agents were examined. The results clearly indicate that the wet method, coupling agent is combined chemically with the silica prior to mixing, has more dispersion, wetting ability, dynamic properties and stability than the dry method, coupling agent is premixed directly with the silica. The mixing was done using a bench-type kneader having two mixing cam and a two-roll mill, under approximately similar conditions. The physical properties of SBR vulcanizates give rise to marked improvements by addition of Si 69 and MPS in comparison with without silane coupling agents. The optimum amount of Si 69 and MPS was 2 w/w% by experiments in the dry method but was 4 w/w% by EA and TGA analysis in the wet method.

The vulcanized NR and blend films were prepared with mixing of natural rubber latex (NRL) and methyl methacrylated grafted latex(MGL) with various additives by dipping process. It was investigated the basic properties of vulcanized NR films that is optimum condition of the mature time, swelling degree, cure time at $110^{\circ}C$, and measured the mechanical properties of tensile strength and elongation of its condition. In order to identify the surface structure and the slip properties of blend films contact angles and static and kinetic friction coefficient were measured. Contact angles were decreased with increment of blend ratio of MGL, and static and kinetic friction coefficient were decreased rapidly for the NR/MG and NR-d-MG films than for the NR films. From the results, NR/MG and NR-d-MG films has slip's reinforcement in skin contact surface with increased of blend ratio of MGL.

Recently, there was an collision accident of vehicle-concrete median barrier and unfortunately, passengers were killed by exceeded capacity of concrete median. Therefore, improving the capacity of concrete median barrier is need to reduce damage. Accordingly, in this study, appropriate collision model verified by using the FE analysis program LS-Dyna and recommend a concrete median barrier section. The improvement parameters such as wire mesh diameter, steel plate, rubber pad were selected for improved capacity of the median barrier. Finally, section of concrete median barrier improved wire mesh diameter decreased volume loss, section of concrete median barrier improved rubber pad accepted impact loading and increased elastic area.

Partial reinforcement of sheet metal parts with CFRP patch is a technology that can realize ultra-lightweight body parts while overcoming the high material cost of carbon fiber. Performing these patchworks with highly productive press equipment solves another issue of CFRP: high process costs. The A-pillar is the main body part and has an undercut shape for fastening with other parts such as roof panels and doors. Therefore, it is difficult to bond CFRP patches to the A-pillar with a general press forming tool. In this paper, a flexible system that applies uniform pressure to complex shapes using ceramic particles and silicone rubber is proposed. By benchmarking various A-pillars, a reference model with an undercut shape was designed, and the system was configured to realize a uniform pressure distribution in the model. The ceramic spherical particles failed to realize the uniform distribution of high pressure due to their high hardness and point contact characteristics, which caused damage to the CFRP patch. Compression equipment made of silicone rubber was able to achieve the required pressure level for curing the epoxy. Non-adhesion defects between the metal and the CFRP patch were confirmed in the area where the bending deformation occurred. This defect could be eliminated by optimizing the process conditions suitable for the newly developed flexible system.

In this work, the effect of different contents of $Fe_3O_4$ and temperature variation on the electrical conductivity ($\sigma$) in the polar acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)/$Fe_3O_4$ (magnetite) mixture system was investigated. It was found that the percolation threshold concept holds true for the conductive particle-filled composites where $\sigma$ indicates a nearly sharp increase when the concentration of magnetite in the mixture exceeds 22%. The temperature dependence of $\sigma$ was thermally activated below and at the percolation threshold ($P_c$). Magnetite acted as reinforcing and conductive filler for NBR. At room temperature and higher voltages, the electrical current was proportional to the square of voltage ($I{\propto}V^2$) for the composites which contain 30 phr of magnetite. Moreover, it was shown that the composites with magnetite of 50 phr showed the highest tensile strength and elongation at break, which was due to the formation of optimal physical interlock and crosslinking. The results of 100%, 200%, and 300% Young moduli said that the moduli are largely correlated with reinforcement effect of magnetite and viscosity of the blends from torque curve.
