The present work was undertaken to numerically analyze the defrosting phenomena of windshield glass. In order to analysis the phase change from frost to water on windshield glass by discharging hot air from a defroster nozzle, the flow and the temperature field of the cabin interior, the heat transfer through the windshield glass, and the phase change of frost should be solve simultaneously. In the present work, the flow field was obtained by solving 3-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and the temperature field was computed from the incompressible energy equation. The phase change process was solved by the enthalpy method. For the code validation, the temperature and the phase change of the driven cavity were calculated. The calculation showed a good agreement with other numerical results. Then, the present code was applied to the defrosting problem of a real automobile, and a good agreement with the experimental data was also obtained.

The present research is based upon the numerical analysis of a car windshield in order to represent the optimum design guide to improve the overall defrosting performance of the system. First, the control factors that highly affect the defrosting performance of a car windshield are chosen and afterwards, the optimum variables of each control factor are extracted out to analyze its performance. The main control factors for this research are respectively, the air injection angle of a defroster nozzle, the height of a nozzle outlet, and the ratio of the width to the height of a nozzle outlet. For such case when the air inlet angle is relatively small, the flow near the vicinity of the inner face of a windshield tends to expand. As a consequence, the heat transfer rate through the windshield decreases. Also, the height of a nozzle outlet is recommended to maintain its size to minimum. However, when the ratio mentioned before is designed less than unity, the defrosting performance decreases.

본 논문에서는 차량 후면 유리에 여러 주파수 대역의 안테나를 집적화할 수 있는 유리접지를 이용한 안테나 급전 방법을 제안하였다. 유리접지가 가능하도록 동축 선로를 유리접지면에 직접 연결할 수 있는 어댑터를 설계하였으며, 차체 접지 방식과 반사 손실을 비교 분석하였다. Azimuth 방향에서 높은 복사 이득을 얻기 위해 유리 접지의 크기와 위치를 최적화 하였으며, 도출된 유리접지면을 이용하여 삼각 패치 형상의 WiBro 안테나를 상용세단의 후면 유리에 인쇄하고 반사 손실과 복사 패턴 성능을 측정하였다. 제안된 유리접지를 이용한 급전 방식은 차체 접지를 이용한 급전 방식과 유사한 반사 손실을 보이며, 2 dB 높은 azimuth 복사 이득이 나타내었다. 측정 결과, 제안된 유리접지면을 이용한 안테나 급전 방식을 이용하면 여러 주파수에서 동작하는 다양한 형태의 온-글래스 안테나를 후면 유리에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The contact pressure distribution between a rubber wiper blade and a glass windshield is a major factor for wiping performance. A modeling and simulation method has been developed to forecast the contact pressure distribution on a wiper blade. For modeling multi-body dynamics of an wiper linkage system and flexible nature of wiper blade, ADAMS and ADAMS/flex are employed. A simulation study has been also conducted to obtain contact pressure distribution. Comparison between simulation and measurement is provided to ensure fidelity of the model and the simulation method.

플랫 블레이드 와이퍼의 블레이드의 누름압 분포를 조정하여 역전과정에서 발생되는 진동을 저감하는 방법을 제시하였다. 블레이드와 유리면 사이에 길이방향으로 불균일한 누름압 분포를 도입, 고무스트립에 점진적인 역전을 유도함으로써 역전과정에서 발생하는 충격력을 저감하였다. 블레이드 내의 바디스프링 형상을 이전 연구에서 제시된 방법을 통해 구해진 형태를 적용함으로써 누름압 분포를 조정하였다. 이 방법을 적용하여 전체 길이에 균일한 누름압과 불균일한 누름압을 발생시키는 두 종류의 블레이드를 개발한 다음 누름압을 측정하여 확인하였다. 두 블레이드에서 발생하는 수직방향 및 횡방향 진동을 측정 비교한 결과, 불균일한 누름압을 가진 블레이드가 균일한 누름압의 블레이드에 비해 훨씬 작은 수직방향 진동을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

Each aircraft have to be certified for a specified level of impact energy, for assuring the capability of a safe flight and landing after the impact against a bird at cruise speed. The aim of this research work was to define a scientific and methodological approach to the study of the birdstrike phenomenon against several windshield geometries. A series of numerical simulations have been performed using the explicit finite element solver code LS-Dyna, in order to estimate the windshield-surround structure capability to absorb the bird impact energy, safely and efficiently, according to EASA Certification Specifications 25.631 (2011). The research considers the results obtained about a parametric numerical analysis of a simplified, but realistic, square flat windshield model, as reported in the last work (Grimaldi et al. 2013), where this model was subjected to the impact of a 1.8 kg bird model at 155 m/s to estimate the sensitivity of the target geometry, the impact angle, and the plate curvature on the impact response of the windshield structure. Then on the basis of these results in this paper the topic is focused about the development of a numerical simulation on a complete aircraft windshield-surround model with an innovative configuration. Both simulations have used a FE-SPH coupled approach for the fluid-structure interaction. The main achievement of this research has been the collection of analysis and results obtained on both simplified realistic and complete model analysis, addressed to approach with gained confidence the birdstrike problem. Guidelines for setting up a certification test, together with a design proposal for a test article are an important result of such simulations.

The phase-change process of Stefan problem was solved by enthalpy method. For code validation, the temperature field of the driven cavity was calculated. The result of calculation shows a good agreement with the other numerical results. Then, the present code was applied to the defrosting analysis of a real automobile and, also, a good agreement with experiment was obtained.

An automotive windshield wiper system is modeled mainly for vibration analysis purpose. The model is composed of solid links, ideal joints, imperfect joints to simulate unavoidable manufacturing defects and bushings having stiffness, contact between a wiper blade and a wind screen glass, friction, a spring and an actuator. Main stream of wiper dynamics analysis has been obtaining a closed form of system of equations using Newton's or Lagrange's formula and doing a numerical simulation study to understand and predict the behavior of it. However, the modeling process is complex since a wiper system is of multibody and a contact problem occurs. When imperfection, such as dead zone of a joint and stiffness of a rubber bushing, should be included, the added complexity makes the modeling difficult. Since the imperfection is understood as main cause of problematic vibration, the dynamics model of a wiper system aiming vibration analysis should include such unavoidable manufacturing defects in the model. An open form of dynamic model of a automotive windshield wiper system with imperfect joints using a commercial software is obtained and a simulation analyssis is conducted for vibration reduction study.

Recently, much attention has been paid in the field of defrosting because clear windshield in vehicle without effecting the thermal comfort is realized essentially. Then in winter, defrosting performance is one of the important factors in vehicle design to make certain driver's view. In this study, the velocity profile, temperature distribution and frost melting pattern on the windshield screen have been predicted in three dimensional geometry of an automobile interior. Numerical analyses predict a detailed description of fluid flow and temperature patterns on the inside windshield screen, utilizing the flow through defroster nozzle. Numerical prediction established a good defrosting performance with the standard distance ratio and the defroster nozzle angle ranging from $30^{\circ}$ to $40^{\circ}$, which satisfy the condition of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) completely.

차량의 윈드실드 유리 외면에서의 빗방울에 의한 산란광을 수신하여 빗방울 존재 유무를 판별하는 우적감지 센서를 제안한다. 기존의 윈드실드 유리를 광도파관으로 이용하는 우적감지 센서는 신호광을 윈드실드 유리 내부로 주입하기 위하여 정밀한 광학계를 필요로 하며 외부 진동이나 충격에 의해 광결합률에 영향을 주어 오작동되는 경우가 있었다. 제안하는 광도파관 외부에 존재하는 빗방울에 의한 산란광을 이용하는 우적감지 센서는 광도파관 내부에 신호광을 주입할 필요가 없으므로 별도의 광학계가 필요 없으며 외부 충격이나 진동의 영향을 받지 않는 장점이 있다. 스프레이어를 이용한 가상강우 환경에서, 제작된 광도파관 외부 산란광을 이용한 우적감지 센서에 대한 실험결과는 빗방울뿐만 아니라 안개와 같은 미세한 입자에도 반응하여 차량용 우적감지 센서로 이용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주었다.
