항공기 연료셀은 추락 상황에서 승무원의 생존성과 직결되는 중요 구성품으로 회전익 항공기에 적용되고 있는 내충격성 연료셀은 추락시 승무원의 생존성 향상에 큰 역할을 하고 있다. 미육군은 항공기가 처할수 있는 다양한 상황에서 연료셀이 제 기능을 발휘할 수 있도록 1960년대 초부터 MIL-DTL-27422 이라는 연료셀 개발규격을 제정하여 현재까지 적용해 오고 있다. 해당 개발규격에 규정된 시험 중에서 충돌충격시험은 연료셀의 내충격 성능을 검증하는 시험으로써, 해당 시험을 통과하는 연료셀은 생존가능 충돌환경에서 화재가 발생하지 않아 승무원의 생존성이 대폭 향상될 수 있음을 의미한다. 그러나 충돌충격시험은 작용하는 하중 수준이 너무 높기 때문에 실패 위험성이 가장 큰 시험이기도 하다. 연료셀이 해당 시험을 통과하지 못하는 경우에는 재시험을 위한 비용과 준비기간이 상당히 소요되어 항공기 개발일정에 심각한 지장을 초래할 가능성도 높다. 따라서, 연료셀 설계 초기부터 내충격성능 만족여부에 대한 예측을 위해 충돌충격시험의 수치해석을 통한 실물시험에서의 실패 가능성을 최소화해야 한다는 필요성이 제기되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 충돌모사 프로그램인 LS-DYNA에서 지원하는 유체-구조 연성해석 방법인 SPH 방법을 사용하여 연료셀 충돌충격시험 수치 모사를 수행하였다. 수치해석 조건으로 MIL-DTL-27422에서 요구하는 시험조건을 고려하였고, 실물 연료셀의 시편시험을 통해 확보한 물성데이타를 해석에 반영하였다. 그 결과로 연료셀 자체의 응력수준을 평가하고 취약부위에 대한 고찰을 수행하였다.

본 논문은 샌드위치 복합재가 적용된 철도차량 차체 구조물을 위한 표준유한요소모델을 제시하였다. 최근 샌드위치 복합재는 높은 굽힘 강성 및 강도를 가지며 차체의 경량화와 공간 확보를 통해 에너지 효율을 향상시킬 수 있어 국내의 많은 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러므로 복합재 철도 차량의 제작 전에 유한요소법 등을 통해 구조안전성을 검증해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 철도차량의 실제 구조시험과 같은 수직, 압축, 비틀림 하중 및 고유진동수 해석을 통해 철도차량 구조물의 표준유한요소모델을 검증 제시하였다. 그 결과, 샌드위치 패널의 굽힘 강성을 향상시키기 위한 보강 금속 프레임에는 빔 요소보다는 사각 쉘 요소가 적절하였으며, 샌드위치 패널의 허니콤 코어와 적층복합재의 경우 적층 쉘 요소와 비교하여 적층 쉘 요소와 솔리드 요소를 사용하는 것이 적절하다. 또한, 제안된 표준유한요소모델은 유한요소모델의 수정 없이 충돌모델에 적용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다.

Structural integrity of either a passenger car or a light truck is one of the basic requirements for a full vehicle engineering and development program. The results of the vehicle product performance are measured in terms of durability, noise/vibration/harshness (NVH), crashworthiness and passenger safety. The level of performance of a vehicle directly affects the marketability, profitability and, most importantly, the future of the automobile manufacturer. In this study, we used the Virtual Proving Ground (VPG) approach for obtaining the dynamic stress or strain history and distribution. The VPG uses a nonlinear, dynamic, finite element code (LS-DYNA) which expands the application boundary outside classic linear, static assumptions. The VPG approach also uses realistic boundary conditions of tire/road surface interactions. To verify the predicted dynamic stress and fatigue critical region, a single bump run test, road load simulation, and field test have been performed. The prediction results were compared with experimental results, and the feasibility of the integrated life prediction methodology was verified.

Structural integrity of either a passenger car or a light truck is one of the basic requirements for a full vehicle engineering and development program. The results of the vehicle product performance are measured in terms of ride and handling, durability, noise/vibration/harshness(NVH), crashworthiness and occupant safety. The level of performance of a vehicle directly affects the marketability, profitability and, most importantly, the future of the automobile manufacturer. In this study, we used the virtual proving ground(VPG) approach for obtaining the dynamic characteristics. VPG approach uses a nonlinear, dynamic, finite element code(LS-DYNA3D) which expands the application boundary outside the classic linear, antic assumptions. VPG approach also uses realistic boundary conditions of tire/road surface interactions. To verify the predicted dynamic results, a single lane change test has been performed. The prediction results were compared with the experimental test results, and the feasibility of the integrated CAE analysis methodology was verified.

This paper provides theoretical and experimental results to verify the crashworthiness of FH32 high-strength steel for arctic marine structures against ice impact. Assuming that side-shell structures of the Korean arctic research vessel, ARAON, with ice-notation PL10, collide with sheet ice, one-third-scale test specimens with a single transverse frame are manufactured. Impact-bending tests were conducted using a rigid steel striker that mimics sheet ice. Drop height was calculated by considering the speed at which sheet ice is rammed. Prior to impact-bending tests, tensile coupon tests were conducted at various temperatures. The impact-bending tests were carried out using test specimens fully fixed to the inside bottom frame of a cold chamber. The drop-weight velocity and test specimen deformation speed were measured using a high-speed camera and digital image correlation analysis (DICA). Numerical simulations were carried out under the same conditions as the impact-bending tests. The simulation results were in agreement with the test results, and strain rate was a key factor for the accuracy of numerical simulations.

While the advanced trffic environment systems are developed recently, the traffic systems for transportation vulnerable are still under development and their social life are limited as well. In order to the secure their mobility rights, it had been required to set up the particular system for the traffic welfare. One of the significant items is the express bus operation for wheelchair users. Thus, the research of development and operation for express buses with wheelchair users was funded by the Korean government. Before the express bus development for wheelchair users based on the current bus model, this study set up the evaluation method for the bus rollover characteristics to ensure occupant safety using the finite element method. The partial bus model was developed corresponding to the full bus model response under rollover event and the evaluation method based on two model (full bus model and partial bus model) responses is planned to apply the model development of express bus modification for wheelchair users.

In this study, a new type of energy absorbers with a functionally graded thickness is investigated, these type of absorbers absorb energy through expanding-folding processes. The expanding-folding absorbers are composed of two sections: a thin-walled aluminum matrix and a thin-walled steel mandrel. Previous studies have shown higher efficiency of the mentioned absorbers compared to the conventional ones. In this study, the effect of thickness which has been functionally-graded on the aluminum matrix (in which expansion occurs) was investigated. To this end, initial functions were considered for the matrix thickness, which was ascending/descending along the axis. The study was done experimentally and numerically. Comparing the experimental data with the numerical results showed high consistency between the numerical and experimental results. In the final section of this study, the best energy absorber functionally graded thickness was introduced by optimization using a third-order genetic algorithm. The optimization results showed that by choosing a minimum thickness of 1.6 mm and the exponential coefficient of 3.25, the most optimal condition can be obtained for descending thickness absorbers.

최근들어 안전하고 합리적인 구조를 설계하기 위하여 구조물의 내충돌 또는 내충격에 대한 요구와 관심이 높아지고 있는데, 이러한 문제들은 아주 짧은 시간동안에 대변형이 일어나는 비선형문제라는 특징이 있다. 구조재료는 변형속도가 빨라짐에 따라 정적인 범주에서 보이는 거동과는 달리 변형률 의존적인 거동을 보인다. 따라서 대변형 소성문제인 충돌해석 등에는 종래 사용하여 온 변형률 비의존 재료구성방정식으로는 한계가 있다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 점을 개선하기 위하여 연강의 소성거동을 잘 나타낼 수 있는 소성슬립모델을 채용하고, 비선형경화를 도입하여 변형도 적용범위를 확장한 대변형 탄소성 변형률의존 재료구성방정식을 제시하였다. 본 구성방정식의 특징으로 항복조건과 하중조건이 필요없기 때문에 계산이 간편하며, 전위밀도와 속도로써 소성을 표현하기 때문에 보다 물리적인 의미를 가지고 금속재료의 소성현상을 나타낼 수 있다.

Springback is a common phenomenon in sheet metal forming, caused by the elastic recovery of the internal stresses after removal of the tooling. Recently, advanced high strength steels (AHSS) such as TRIP and DP are finding acceptance in the automotive industry because their superior strength to weight ratio can lead to improved fuel efficiency and assessed crashworthiness of vehicles. The major troubles of the automotive structural members stamped with high strength steel sheets are the tendency of the large amount of springback due to the high yield strength and the tensile strength. The amount of springback is mainly influenced by the type of the yield function and anisotropic model induced by rolling. The discrepancy of the deep drawn product comparing the data of from the product design induced by springback must be compensated at the tool design stage in order to guarantee its function and assembly with other parts. The methodology of compensation of the low shape accuracy induced by large amount of springback is developed by the expert engineer in the industry. Recently, the numerical analysis is introduced in order to predict the amount of springback and to improve the shape accuracy prior to tryout stage of press working. In this paper, the tendency of springback is evaluated with respect to the blank material. The stamping process is analyzed fur the front side member formed with AHSS sheets such as TRIP60 and DP60. The analysis procedure fully covers the binderwrap, stamping, trimming and springback process with the commercial elasto-plastic finite element code LS-DYNA3D.
