Automotive manufactures have taken more interests in tailored sheet metals for improving the rigidity, weight reduction, crash durability, and cost savings so that their application to auto-bodies has been increased. However, since the tailored sheet metals do not behave like un-welded sheet metals in press forming operations, the stamping engineers no longer rely only on conventional forming techniques. Futhermore, there is no clear understanding of the characteristics of welded metal which influence the overall press formability of tailored sheet metals. Recently, the computer simulations are prevailing for the evaluation of the formability. Unfortunately, the mechanical property of tailored sheet metal has to be quantitatively defined in the simulation. In this study, the analytical equations are formulated in order to find the mechanical properties of the welded metal in the tailored sheet metal welded by co$_2$laser. Based on force distribution assumption, the constitutive behavior of the welded metal is investigated using uniaxial tensile test results of base metals and tailored sheet metal. Then, the strength coefficient, work-hardening exponent, and plastic strain ratio of laser-welded metal are calculate from those of base metals and tailored sheet metal. In addition, the existence of weld defects in the welded metal is indirectly detected by examining the slop of strength coefficient of the welded metal.

In this study, the tire road friction estimation(TRFE) algorithm for controlling the rear wheel driving force of a 4WD vehicle during acceleration is developed using a standard sensor in an ordinary 4WD passenger car and a speed sensor. The algorithm is constructed for the wheel shaft torque, longitudinal tire force, vertical tire force and maximum tire road friction estimation. The estimation results of shaft torque and tire force were validated using a torque sensor and wheel force transducer. In the algorithm, the current road friction is defined as the proportion calculated between longitudinal and vertical tire force. Slip slop methods using current road friction and slip ratio are applied to estimate the road friction coefficient. Based on this study's results, the traction performance, fuel consumption and drive shaft strength performance of a 4WD vehicle are improved by applying the tire road friction estimation algorithm.

본 연구에서는 유동해석 및 구조해석을 수행하여 위상최적화에 의해 설계된 버터플라이 밸브 디스크의 구조적 안전성을 살펴보았다. 유동해석을 수행하여 유량계수의 변화와 공동현상을 예측하였으며, 구조해석 후 강도 및 강성의 유효성을 확인하였다. 유동해석 후 열림각이 커질수록 유량계수가 비선형적으로 증가하다가 완만한 경사를 보였고, 열림각이 12o 일 때 공동화 현상을 예측할 수 있었다. 구조해석 후 경량 디스크의 유효응력이 재료의 항복강도보다 작았으며, 최대변형량도 선행연구의 보수적 변형량보다 작았다. 궁극적으로 전산해석에 기초한 경량 밸브 디스크의 구조적 안전성이 유효함을 확인하였다.
