A tooth profile modification for loaded gears is used to avoid a tooth impact. Since a tooth profile error causes amplification of the cumbersome whine noise in automotive gear transmissions, an optimal quantity of tooth profile modifications must be obtained for good performance in the vibration sense. In this paper, a tooth profile modification curve considering profile manufacturing errors and elastic deformation of the gear tooth is formulated; in addition, transmission errors of the gear system with modified teeth are verified. The equivalent excitation due to transmission errors is formulated. For experimental evaluation of the transmission error, the transmission error for a simple gear system was measured by two rotational laser vibrometers. Finally, we perform a comparative analysis between the calculated and measured responses to the excitations due to the transmission error to verify the practicability of the application to automotive transmissions.

Recently graphical modelling is being studied as a useful process analysis tool for exploratory causal analysis. Graphical modelling is a presentation method that uses graphs to describe statistical models of the structures of multivariate data. This paper describes an application of this graphical modeling with two cases from the automotive parts industry. One case is the unbalance problem of the pulley, an automotive generator part. There is multivariate data of the product from each of the processes which are connected in the series. By means of exploratory causal analysis between the variables using graphical modeling, the key processes which causes the variation of the final characteristics and their mechanism of the causal relationship have become clear. Another case is, also, the unbalanced problem of automotive starter parts which consists of many parts and is manufactured by complex machinery and assembling process. By means of the similar technique, the key processes are obtained easily and the results are reasonable from technical knowledge.

Recently, in automotive technology area, intelligent safety systems have been actively accomplished for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians. Also, many researches are focused on development of autonomous vehicles. This paper propose the application of LiDAR sensors, which takes major role in perceiving environment, terrain classification, obstacle data clustering method, and local map building for autonomous driving. Finally, based on these results, planning for lane change path that vehicle tracking possible were created and the reliability of path generation were experimented.

This paper describes the calculation of the equivalent circuit parameters according to the slip in squirrel-cage induction motor. Recently, the induction motor is demanded of the various operation condition. In order to acquire the accurate characteristic for the operation condition of the motor, equivalent circuit parameters have to be calculated accurately. So the equivalent circuit parameters are computed by using the finite element method, the reliable characteristic analysis is carried out by application of the parameter to the equivalent circuit analysis. From the analysis result using this combined equivalent circuit and finite element method is compared with the experimental results by a detailed equivalent circuit, the validity of the method is proved.

For the weight reduction of vehicle body up to 20∼30% compared to the conventional monocoque steel body·.in-white, most automotive manufacturers have attempted to develop the aluminum intensive body-in-white using an aluminum space frame. In this paper, the crush tests and simulations for the aluminum extrusions filled with the structural from are performed to evaluate the collapse characteristics of that light weighted material. From these studies. the effectiveness of structural for is evaluated in improving automotive crashworthiness. In order to improve the improve energy absorption capability of the aluminum space frame body, safety design modifications are performed and analyzed based on the suggested collapse initiator concepts and on the application of the aluminum extrusions filled with structural foam. The effectiveness of these design concepts on the frontal and side impact characteristics of the aluminum intensive vehicle structure is investigated and summarized.

The door impact beam of the side-impacted vehicle plays a key role in securing occupant safety by preventing intrusion from the impacting vehicle. Despite the low production cost, the press door impact beam has been adopted sparingly because of the strength inferiority. In this study, the design technologies of the press beam aimed at improving bending strength were investigated. First, the effect of the section shape and size was examined. Next, thickness and material strength were increased. Also, the TRB beam application was simulated by varying combined thickness. Some TRB beams with reduced weight exhibited bending strength over the strength of the pipe beam. Then, the beam with a closed center section also showed remarkably enhanced maximum bending strength.

A noise transfer function(NTF) is the frequency response function between an input force applied to an exterior point of a vehicle body and the resultant interior sound pressure usually measured at the driver's ear position. It represents the measure of noise sensitivity for the output force transmitted to the joints between the body and chassis. The principle of vibro-acoustic reciprocity is often utilized in the measurement of NTF. One difficulty in using the volume source is that most of the previously proposed methods require the knowledge of the volume velocity of the acoustic source in advance. A new method proposed in the present work does not require any calculation related with the volume velocity of the acoustic source, but still yields even more accurate results both in the amplitude and phase of the NTF. In the present work, the new method is applied to obtain NTF data for a midsize sedan.

The present paper relates to a development of the Gear Detection Sensor for automotive manual transmission. To detect air gap from control finger to detecting zone of sensor based on non-contacted method, permanent magnet and linear type Hall IC are mounted in this sensor. Control finger is machined to 3 step heights to detect 3 gear stages such as In-Gear, Normal and Rear. After conducting actual experimentation based on exclusive Jig and FEM, it is described to consider possibility for automotive application of Gear Detection Sensor.

The Application of powder metallurgy (PM) aluminum structural parts is at its early growing stage, despite of some automotive applications. The market potential for PM aluminum, however, is large. Growth is expected from the market expansion of the existing applications and new applications, including the replacements of aluminum and zinc based castings and some ferrous PM automotive parts by PM aluminum. Compared to castings, PM is an efficient mass production technology. The PM aluminum is more competitive than die casting for some automotive applications. Besides weight saving leading to performance improvement, the total cost increase for aluminum PM parts is less than 15% compared to ferrous PM automotive parts. The future is promising for PM aluminum.
