Aluminum extruded profiles have been mostly used only a few automotive parts until now, such as roof rail, sunroof frame and bumper beams. However, Aluminum Extru-form technology, which was recently developed by foreign advanced manufacturer, made it possible to apply the aluminum extruded profiles to suspension parts of passenger and RV cars. It could be obtained by optimized billet casting, extrusion and stretch bending technology. It was possible to have the excellent weight reduction and the competitive price comparing with conventional process of aluminum for automotive parts. Combining additional process technology such as machining and joining, the application can be extended to various automotive parts. We have developed high strength aluminum alloy and fabricated subframe and suspension arm by extruforming process.

In exhaust pipes of automotive engines, the pulsating pressure waves are composed of fundamental frequency and high order harmonics. The nonlinearities in the exhaust pipe is caused by their interactions. The error between prediction and measurement is induced by the nonlinearities. We can not explain this phenomenon using linear acoustics theory. So power spectrum, which is used in linear theory, is not useful. This paper is concerned with the development of useful engineering techniques to detect and analyze nonlinearity in exhaust pipe of automotive engines. The study of higher order statistics has been dominated by work on the bispectrum. The bispectrum can be viewed as a decomposition of the third moment (skewness) of a signal over frequency and as such is blind to symmetric nonlinearities. The phenomenon of quadratic phase coupling (QPC) can be analyzed by the bicoherence function. Finally the application of these techniques to data from actual exhaust pipe systems is performed.

AUTOSAR is a partnership of automotive manufacturers and suppliers working together to develop and establish a de-facto open industry standard for automotive software architectures. In the AUTOSAR architecture, the runtime environment is at in the heart of the AUTOSAR architecture to provides the infrastructure services that enable communication between software components and between software components and basic software components. The RTE generator is an automated generation tool for AUTOSAR specification based RTE according to the ECU configuration. It generates communication API function for the software components and the basic software components like OS and COM of the application. The availability and the accuracy of the RTE generator are important for the automobile software which is based on AUTOSAR architecture, this paper proposes an architectural design of the RTE generator for auto-generation of the AUTOSAR based RTE.

Boron steel (51B20) was cold forged using by new designed dies to apply for automotive aluminum wheel nut. The formability and mechanical properties of boron steel were compared with carbon steel(S45C) which has been used up to date for the wheel nut material. The formability was investigated on the dies designed with various types of punch nose using by FEM. The metal flow and compressive stress on the dies during cold forging were investigated and compared each other. The forging process with a new designed die showed the improved metal flow with a reduced forging load which resulted in the significant increase of the die life. It was recommended that the carbon steel for automotive wheel nut material could be substituted by the boron steel.

Modern vehicle has a lot of ECU(Electronic Control Unit) products to control many parts such as engine, transmission, brake, body and so on. ECU quality is one of important factors related to vehicle quality and driver's safety. Based on Bath-tub curve which presents failure rate during product lifetime, we designed and applied Accelerated Run-in Test into manufacturing line by simulating stress amount to ECU and developing the required software and efficient test equipment for mass production. This test makes ECU products stressed through electrical and thermal stresses under excessive driving condition, which induce potential initial failure of components in the ECU during production. The outcome until these days proved that Acceleration Run-in Test have reduced initial failure rates and increased quality of ECU products in the field outstandingly.

The automotive chassis components are structural assemblies that support the engine, suspension, and steering components of the vehicle. For the development of AHSS components, the durability analysis is important. In this paper, the low cycle fatigue property of AHSS was evaluated for the geometry complex and local plasticity in the base material. The GMAW optimization was implemented for the weld soundness using the moving least square method. And the weld S-N curves of AHSS were evaluated to access durability analysis for the weld region. For the verification, the durability analysis of the couple torsion beam axle (CTBA) was performed and compared to the rig test result. The durability analysis using the low cycle fatigue property and the evaluated weld S-N curve of AHSS met the good agreement with the test result.

In this paper, the CLQR(Constrained LQR) controller, which considers the actuator saturation in a cross-product term of a given performance index for an automotive active suspension control has been proposed. The effects of actuator saturations have been reflected directly in the states by using the linear relation between the control input and states. The method proposed here is more effective and intuitive compared with the conventional schemes. The CLQR has been applied to designing an automotive active suspension control system to verify its effectiveness and practical aspects.

In ultrasonic testing of dissimilar metal welds, application of phased array technique in terms of incident beam focusing is not easy because of complicated material structures formed during the multi-pass welding process. Time reversal(TR) techniques can overcome some limitations of phased array since they are self-focusing that does not depend on the geometrical and physical properties of testing components. In this paper, we test the possibility of TR focusing on a defect within anisotropic, heterogeneous austenitic welds. A commercial simulation software is employed for TR focusing and imaging of a side-drilled hole. The performance of time reversed adaptive focal law is compared with those of calculated focal laws for both anisotropic and isotropic welds.

자동차용 열연강판은 그 용도에 따라 매우 다양한 제품특성이 요구되고 있다. 즉 고강도 및 고강성, 우수한 피로특성, 용접성 및 내식성 등이 요구되고 있다. 이중에서도 고강도화는 향후 자동차의 경량화와 더불어 안전성을 동시에 확보하기 위해 매우 필요한 기술이다. 고강도화에 가장 많은 노력이 이루어졌던 wheel용 강재의 경우, 기존에는 60kg급 강재가 주종을 이루었으나, 일본등에서는 80kg급 강재의 시험생산 및 실차 test가 진행되는 등 소재공급사와 자동차제조사와의 공동노력에 의해 많은 기술개발이 이루어져 왔다. 더우기 96년 6월 일본철강연맹 규격에는 자동차용 열간압연 강판으로 80kg급 강재가 등록이 됨으로서 향후 고강도강의 소요가 크게 증가될 전망이다. 또한 근래 상용화가 활발하게 진행되고 있는 열연 TRIP강의 경우 기존의 개념을 넘어서는 고강도 및 고연성, 우수한 가공선과 더불어 우수한 피로특성을 보이고 있어 향후 동 소재의 사용확대가 크게 기대되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 좋은 철강소재의 개발과 이의 적용은 강재제조기술과 더불어 이의 적정 가공기술 그리고 독자적인 설계기술등이 연계되어야만 비로소 이루어질 수 있다. 이를 위해 소재공급사와 자동차제조사간에 지속적인 기술개발을 위한 공동노력이 이루어져야 되리라 생각된다.
