2011년 6월 기준으로 국내 자동차등록대수는 1,826만 대에 육박할 정도로 비약적인 증가를 보이고 있다. 최근 급속히 증가하고 있는 대형 승용차 및 RV차량이 현재 설치된 주차장에 주차할 경우 차량훼손, 민원 발생 등 주차장 이용자의 통행불편을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 주자장에 무분별하게 설치된 카스토퍼는 주차사고 유발 및 주차문제를 더욱 더 증가시킴과 동시에 경제적 손실을 초래하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 현실에 적합한 주차단위구획 및 카스토퍼 설치위치 규정의 재정비가 필요하다고 판단되어, 국내 외 차종별 구성비, 차종별 차폭 및 길이에 대한 현장조사와 카스토퍼가 설치된 주차단위구획 및 차종별 구성비 변화 사례 등을 선행 검토하였다. 또한, 차종별 제원 및 카스토퍼 설치위치를 고려하여 주차단위구획을 산정하였다. 그 결과, 대형 승용차의 여유폭이 기존보다 18 ~ 21mm 정도 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 차량의 앞내민길이가 주차단위구획을 벗어나지 않으므로 주차장 사고를 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 최종적으로 운전자 측면에서 편의성 및 안전성이 향상된 주차계획 개선안을 제시하였다. 향후 본 연구를 통해 개선된 주차계획을 적용할 경우 주차장의 구조 및 설치기준 정립은 물론 더 나아가 주차장 관련사업의 비용/효율성을 극대화할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Since 2007, Insurance Institute of Highway Safety(IIHS) has conducted the new bumper test using bumper barrier to estimate the repair cost of impacted vehicle. In this study, for the front body FE model of a medium size passenger car analyzes were carried out to optimize the shape of backbeam center reinforcement bracket. First, overlap effect was examined with changing the overlap magnitude and spot welds were added along the backbeam center line for reducing the section shear deformation. Next, for an overlap model design parameter study was performed for the bracket. Thickness effect was examined and an inner reinforcement was added to the bracket. Also, the lower part of bracket was deleted and additionally the bracket length was extended. The results were discussed in terms of backbeam backward deflection, barrier backstop intrusion and weight. Compared with the current design, the final model showed 44.1% bracket weight reduction with 30.0% decrease of backbeam deflection.

승용차의 휠은 타이어와 차체 무게를 지지하며, 회전력과 정지력을 노면으로 전달한다. 휠의 경량화는 차량의 연료효율에 효과적이므로, 스틸휠이 무게를 최소화하도록 디스크 홀이 형상을 최적화 하였다. 설계모델은 Pro/ENGINEER를 사용하여 설정하고, 설계모델의 해석은 ANSYS를 이용하였다. 범용 소프트웨어간의 직접적인 자료의 전달이 어려우므로 두 프로그램을 병합 사용하기 위해, 반응표면법을 이용한 근사함수를 구하였다. 5수준의 요인배치법의 실험값을 사용하여 최대응력과 최대 변위를 추출하였다. 초기 모델은 14인치 승용차용 스틸휠을 사용하였고, 디스크 홀의 폭을 설계변수로 선택하였다. 순차이차계획법과 활성화제약조건을 사용하는 PLBA(Pahenichny-Lim-Belegundu-Arora) 알고르즘을 이용하여 최적해를 구하였다.

This paper presents an active roll motion control of a passenger vehicle. The roll controller is designed in the framework of $H_{\infty}$ control scheme based on the 3 DOF vehicle model taking into consideration parameter variations, which affect the roll dynamics, and unmodeled high frequency dynamics for robustness and performance. In order to investigate the feasibility of the active roll control system in a car, its performance is evaluated by simulation in a full vehicle model with nonlinear tire characteristics under various operating conditions. Finally, in order to enhance the performance in a transient region taking into account the limited bandwidth of the actuating module, a hybrid control strategy is presented.

This paper presents a simulation study using a robust controller to improve the roll stability of a vehicle. The controller is designed in the framework of an output feedback H$_{\infty}$ control scheme based on the 3DOF linear vehicle model, solving the mixed-sensitivity problem to guarantee the robust stability and disturbance rejection with respect to parameter variations due to laden and running vehicle conditions. In order to investigate the feasibility of the active roll control system in a real car, its performance is evaluated by simulation in a 10DOF full vehicle model with actuator dynamics and tire characteristics.

The performance of shock absorber is directly related to the car behaviour and performance, both for handling and comfort. In this study, a mathematical nonlinear dynamic model and computational method are introduced to study the flow and performance of shock absorber. The flow characteristics of components(piston and body valve) are investigated and applied to dynamic modeling of shock absorber to predict the damping force. The simulation results agree with the test data well. The shock absorber model proposed in this paper is applicable as a part of a full vehicle suspension simulation.

To reduce interior noise of running vehicles, a floating floor construction has been widely used in recent railway industry. Among the key factors of the floating floor design, dynamic stiffness is of most important in acoustical point of view. Sometimes hard rubber type supports have often been selected due to the other design constraints such as heavy load condition, durability of rubber element and its cost etc., even though it seems like the softer support, the better isolation of noise and vibration. In this paper two representative floor supports have been considered to evaluate their effectiveness in interior noise contribution: one is a soft rubber and another is a relatively hard one. From the measured dynamic stiffness of the specimens, equivalent stiffness of actual floating floor has been derived to use in the analytical models. Calculated air-borne and structure-borne noise insulation properties of the floating floors have been compared with experiments in prototype car. In full car model interior noise levels of running vehicles have been predicted to quantify the effectiveness of the two different floating support materials and verified through the measured inside noise levels of actual train as well. By comparison with difference of running noise levels two materials for floor support can be investigated quantitatively so that it could be applied in floating floor design.

Visual effects are important cues for providing occupants with virtual reality in a vehicle simulator which imitates real driving. The viewpoint of an occupant is sensitively dependent upon the occupant's posture, therefore, the total human body motion must be considered in a graphic simulator. A real-time simulation is required for the dynamic analysis of complex human body motion. This study attempts to apply a neural network to the motion analysis in various driving situations. A full car of medium-sized vehicles was selected and modeled, and then analyzed using ADAMS in such driving conditions as bump-pass and lane-change for acquiring the accelerations of chassis of the vehicle model. A hybrid III 50%ile adult male dummy model was selected and modeled in an ellipsoid model. Multibody system analysis software, MADYMO, was used in the motion analysis of an occupant model in the seated position under the acceleration field of the vehicle model. Acceleration data of the head were collected as inputs to the viewpoint movement. Based on these data, a back-propagation neural network was composed to perform the real-time analysis of occupant motions under specified driving conditions and validated output of the composed neural network with MADYMO result in arbitrary driving scenario.

In this study, a Hardware-In-The-Loop-Simulation(HILS) system for developing a Electric-Power-Steering(EPS) system is designed. To test a EPS by HILS system, a mathematical vehicle model with a steering system model has been constructed. This mathematical model has been constructed. This mathematical model has been downloaded to the Digital-Signal-Processor(DSP) board. To realize the lateral force acting on the front wheel in a real car. the steering wheel angle sensor and vehicle velocity have been used for input signal. The force sensor has been used for a feedback signal. The full vehicle states could by simulated by the HILS system. Consequently, the HILS system could by used to analyze control-parameters of a EPS that contributes to the maneuverability and stability of a vehicle. At the same time, the HILS system can evaluate the whole performance of the vehicle-steering system. Also the HILS system could do test could not be executed in real vehicle. The HILs system will useful for developing the control logic for the EPS system.

Many automotive companies have tried to apply the aluminum alloy sheet to car body because reducing the car weight can improve the fuel efficiency of vehicle. In order to do that, sheet materials require of weldablity, formability, productivity and so on. Aluminum alloy was not easy to join these metals due to its material properties. Thus, the laser is good heat source for aluminum alloy welding because of its high heat intensity. However, the welding quality was not good by porosity, underfill, and magnesium loss in welded metal for AA5182 aluminum alloy. In this study, Nd:YAG laser welding of AA 5182 with filler wire AA 5356 was carried out to overcome this problem. The weldability of AA5182 laser welding with AA5356 filler wire was investigated in terms of tensile strength and Erichsen ratio. For full penetration, mechanical properties were improved by filler wire. In order to optimize the process parameters, model to estimate tensile strength by artificial neural network was developed and fitness function was defined in consideration of weldability and productivity. Genetic algorithm was used to search the optimal point of laser power, welding speed, and wire feed rate.
