The wing component model for flutter analysis consisting of stiffness, mass, and aerodynamic model has been constructed based on the full airframe finite element model for 4-seat canard-type small aircraft. A study on wing flutter characteristics has been investigated based on the wing component model constructed using PK method in MSC/NASTRAN for flutter analysis. In addition, wing flutter mechanism for the aircraft under consideration has been analyzed based on the results of normal mode and flutter analysis.

Various types of vibration are transmitted to operators of agricultural tractors while working in the field. Most harmful vibration to human body is ride vibrations with low frequency ranging from 1 to 10 Hz, caused by rough terrain. These ride vibration has vertical and rotational components. This study was conducted to develop an active seat suspension system with two degrees of freedoms, enabling effectively reduce vibrations in vertical and pitch motions. Therefore, a mechanism for the active seat suspension was developed, and an electro-hydraulic servo system and a controller to drive the active seat suspension system were also developed in this study. A simulation model was developed to evaluate how the active seat suspension system effectively reduce the vibrations transmitted to the base of seat. Active seat suspension was optimized to enhance the performance using the developed simulation model. The performance of the seat suspension system was evaluated according to the test codes described in EEC78/764 in order to investigate the feasibility of application to agricultural tractors. The result showed that the developed active seat suspension system could reduce the magnitude of vertical vibration up to 80% for the input vibrations according to the test codes described in EEC78/764. The system could reduce the rotational displacement of ${\pm}\;2.5$ degrees up to 50% for the pitch vibration on the average in the frequency range of 1 to 2 Hz.

Belt Integrated Seat(BIS) has many advantages compared to the existing seats. Due to the development of materials and manufacturing technology, BIS, which has been used restrictely in the past, has gone through a rapid growth. As a result, its advantages have gained attention and the possibility of replacing the existing seats has grown. The need to develop BIS has risen and presently joint development with associated industries is in progress. For its first goal, the development and research of Recliner sensor has been selected. Recliner sensor is an essential part of the BIS in which the belt is incorporated onto the seat. In seat-belts, there is an inclination sensor which locks the belt according to the angle of a car. Because the inclination sensor can change frequently depending on the back of seat, a device which can enhance the inclination sensor according to the angle of the back of seat. It is the Recliner sensor that play's this role. Studies on Recliner sensor within and outside Korea has not yet made a salient progress, and due to this fact, the joint development has made a start by benchmarking other company's products. Currently, in other to set the course of the development, a research in patents and various other information is being done. In addition, for the purpose of developing a product which will be compatible with the existing products, a prototype will be made and tested before a new product makes its launching on the market.

The wear of engine valve and seat insert is one of the most important factors which affect engine performance. Because of higher demands on performance and the increasing use of alternative fuel, engine valve and seat insert are challenged with greater wear problems than in the past. In order to solve the above problems, a simulator was developed to be able to generate and control high temperatures and various speeds during motion. The wear simulator is considered to be a valid simulation of the engine valve and seat insert wear process with various speeds during engine activity. This work focuses on the different degrees of wear at three different singular test speeds (10 Hz, 25 Hz & multi-Hz). For this study, the temperature of the outer surface of the seat insert was controlled at 350$^{\circ}C$, and the test load was 1960 N. The test cycle number was $6.0{\times}10^6$. The mean ($\pm$standard error) wear depth of the valve at 10 Hz and 25 Hz was 45.1 ($\pm$3.7)$\mu$m and 81.7 ($\pm$2.5)$\mu$m, respectively. The mean wear depth of the seat insert at 10 Hz and 25 Hz was 52.7 ($\pm$3.9)$\mu$m and 91.2 ($\pm$2.7)$\mu$m, respectively. In the case of multi-Hz it was 70.7 ($\pm$2.4)$\mu$m and 77.4 ($\pm$3.8)$\mu$m, respectively. It was found that higher speed (25 Hz) cause a greater degree of wear than lower speed (10 Hz) under identical test condition (temperature, valve displacement, cycle number and test load). In the wear mechanisms of valves, adhesive wear, shear strain and abrasive wear could be observed. Also, in the wear mechanisms of seat inserts, adhesive wear, surface fatigue wear and abrasive wear could be observed.

The minimization of valve and seat insert wear is a critical factor in the pursuit of engine performance improvement. In order to achieve this goal, we have developed a new simulator, which can generate and control high temperatures up to $900^{\circ}C$ and various speeds up to 80Hz during motion, just like an actual engine. The wear simulator is considered to be a valid simulation of the engine valve and seat insert wear process with various speeds during engine activity. The objective of this work focuses on the different degrees of wear from two different test speeds (10Hz & 25Hz). For this study, the temperature of the outer surface of the seat insert was controlled at $350^{\circ}C$, the cycle number was 2.1$\times$106, and the test load was 1960N. The wear depth and surface roughness were measured before and after the testing using a confocal laser scanner. It was found that a higher speed (25Hz) causes more wear than a lower speed (10Hz) under identical test conditions (temperature, cycle number and test load). In the wear mechanism adhesive wear, shear strain and abrasive wear could be observed.

In previous study, make an attempt to estimate exhaust valve seat and seat-ring wear acceleration factor for engine durability test with measuring and consideration of wear mechanism. But found abnormal initial wear rate in exhaust valve seat-ring. And have to improve exhaust valve seat-ring wear rate for reliability reason, because next GDI/Turbo engine is based on this engine and GDI/Turbo engine have higher combustion pressure and higher thermal load. In this study, Trying to find the cause of abnormal wear factor, improve valve-train durability by change specification & design of parts and verify variant parts for improving durability of valve-train. And then I would like to propose a design guide line of valve-train system in a reliability point of view, besides make a complement of previous study.

In the motorized retractor of the smart seat belt system, anti-overload clutch is a very important element to prevent the excessive belt tensional force. Anti-overload clutch is the essential device to protect drivers from chest damage by the excessive belt tension. It generates slipping motion under excessive webbing moment and the belt tensional force is limited below critical value. In this study, slipping mechanism in the antioverload clutch is investigated by analysis and experiment. On the prototype model, finite element analysis is performed to identify the slipping condition and to determine the critical load. Analysis result is compared with the experimental result and the validity of the analysis model is verified. The purpose of the study is to provide the analytical background for the systematic design of the anti-overload clutch mechanism.

This paper presents a hardware development procedure of the ASB(Active Seat Belt) control system to comply with ISO 26262. The ASIL(Automotive Safety Integrity Level) of an ASB system is determined through the HARA(Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment) and the safety mechanism is applied to meet the reqired ASIL. The hardware architecture of the controller consists of a microcontroller, H-bridge circuits, passive components, and current sensors which are used for the input comparison. The required ASIL for the control systems is shown to be satisfied with the safety mechanism by calculation of the SPFM(Single Point Fault Metric) and the LFM(Latent Fault Metric) for the design circuits.
