Electrical conductivity of Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy foams of various density produced in powder metallurgical method has been measured using two probe electrical conductivity measurement method. Compressive mechanical properties such as elastic modulus and plastic plateau stress of foams were evaluated from electrical conductivity using power law relation and scaling laws of foam properties. Uni-axial compression test was also performed. Experimentally measured elastic modulus and plastic plateau stress were compared with the values evaluated from electrical conductivity. The computed values were in good agreement with the experimental result.

Numerical investigation on dynamic characteristics of sandwich plates under periodic and thermal loads has been presented by assuming that the plate has three layers which are a foam core and two skins. The foam core made of Aluminum has porosities with uniform and graded dispersions. The sandwich plate has been supposed to be affected by periodical compressive loads. Also, temperature variation causes uniform thermal load. The formulation has been established based upon a higher-order plate theory and Ritz method has been used to solve the equations of motion. The stability boundaries have also been obtained performing Bolotin's method. It will be indicated that stability boundaries of the sandwich plate depend on periodical load parameters, porosities, skin thickness and temperature.

본 연구에서는 접착제로 체결된 구조물의 접착 조인트에서의 파괴인성을 조사하기 위하여 알루미늄 폼으로 제작한 Mode III 형 DCB 시험편들에 대하여 정적 해석 및 실험을 수행하였다. 정적 해석에서의 경우, 각 시험편 모델들은 강제 변위가 약 5 mm 진행되었을 때 최대 반력을 보였으며, 이 때 각 시험편 모델들의 최대 반력은 두께가 35 mm인 모델이 약 0.25 kN, 두께가 45 mm인 모델이 약 0.28 kN, 두께가 55 mm인 모델이 약 0.5 kN으로 나타났다. 이 해석 결과들을 입증하기 위하여 정적 실험의 경우에서 두 개의 시험편들을 택하였다. 정적 실험에서의 경우, 각 시험편들은 강제 변위가 약 5~6 mm 진행되었을 때 최대 반력을 보였으며, 각 시험편들의 최대 반력은 두께가 35 mm인 시험편이 약 0.22 kN, 두께가 45 mm인 시험편이 약 0.3 kN으로 나타났다. 도출된 결과값들을 비교하였을 때 해석과 실험의 데이터들 간에 큰 차이가 없음을 알 수 있었고, 따라서 별도의 실험과정 없이 해석을 통해서도 그 연구 데이터들을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며, Mode III 형 DCB 접합구조물에서의 기계적 특성들을 체계적으로 분석할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

This study is focused to predict the behavior of Al foam with closed-cell structure during the 3 point bending test and the upsetting test according to aspect ratio. We calculated characters of aluminum foams with closed-cell structure and took the simulation. The effects on the aspect ratio of the cell was investigated parametrically. The analysis was carried out on two models, First, the bending test in elasticity of the rectangular beam, and Second, the upsetting test in plasticity of the circular cylinder. In the analysis, the deformation of the beam and the cylinder was influenced by the aspect ratio of the cell. Further, We assumed that the geometry of feared aluminum cell change the stress and strain in the test.

Fire resistance of a floor of a railcar is prescribed in the "Guidelines of standard of railcar safety (Minister of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs, 2010)". A floor of a railcar should retain its fire resistance for 15 or 20 minutes according its risk level. To evaluate fire resistance of the floor materials which are composed of ceramic board or aluminum foam with weight lightening, fire resistance of railcar floor is numerically analyzed.

Sound transmission characteristics are investigated on the corrugated panels which used for railway vehicles. A special purpose program is developed to calculate the sound transmission loss of orthotropic multi-layered panels. Several kinds of corrugated panels are analysed to estimate the transmission performance and the results are compared with the measured data. Calculated transmission losses show good agreement with the measured values in corrugated panels and aluminum/foam multi-layered panels. The analysis results can be utilized to design the corrugated panels and multi-layered panels which are required to reduce the interior noise in railway vehicles.

The structural behavior of the composite material light rail vehicle body are investigated. Composite material is very useful for light rail vehicle structure due to its high specific strength and lightweight characteristics. The main carbody is made of aluminum alloy. The side wall and roof with composite panels can reduce total vehicle weight about 2000kg. In addition, with the lower density of the foam, enhances lightness in the panel and to save the operation expenses. The finite element analysis code, ANSYS is used to evaluate the stability of the body structure under the various load conditions.

We have evaluated the structural integrity of a sandwich composite train roof structure that can be a lightweight, cost saving solution to large structural components for rail vehicles in design stages. The sandwich composite train roof structure was 11.45 meters long and 1.76 meters wide. The finite element analysis was used to calculate the stresses, deflections and natural frequencies of the sandwich composite train roof against the weight of air-conditioned system. The 3D sandwich finite element model was introduced to examine the structural behavior of the hollow aluminum extrusion frames joined to both sides of the sandwich composite train roof. The results shown that the structural performance of the sandwich composite train roof under loading conditions specified is satisfaction and the use of aluminum reinforced frame and aluminum honeycomb core is beneficial with regard to weight saving and structural performance in comparison with steel reinforced frame and polyurethane foam core. Also, we have manufactured prototype of sandwich composite train roof structure on the basis of analysis results.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanical properties of 6061 Al foams, which were fabricated by P/M and multi-step induction heating method, and to build the database, which is needed for computer aided modeling or foam components design. Aluminium foams, consisting of solid aluminium and large quantities of porosities, is widely used in automotive, aerospace, naval as well as functional applications because of its high stiffness at very low density, high impact energy absorption, heat and fire resistance, and greater thermal stability than any organic material. In this study, 6061 Al foams were fabricated for variation of fraction of porosities (%) according to porosities (%)-final heating temperature ( $T_{a3}$) curves. Mechanical properties such as compressive strength, energy absorption capacity, and efficiency were investigated to evaluate the feasibility of foams as crash energy absorbing components. Moreover, effect of the surface skin thickness on plateau stress and strain sensitivity of the 6061 Al foams with low porosities (%) were studied.d.
