This paper presents an ASF (Aluminum Space Frame) BIW (Body in White) optimal design, which minimizes weight and satisfies multidisciplinary constraints such as static stiffness, vibration characteristics, low-/high-speed crash, and occupant safety. As only one cycle CPU time for all the analyses is 12 hours, the ASF design having 11-design variable is a large scaled problem. In this study, ISCD-II and conservative least square fitting method were used for efficient RSM modeling. Likewise, the ALM method was used to solve the approximate optimization problem. The approximate optimum was sequentially added to remodel the RSM. The proposed optimization method uses only 20 analyses to solve the 11-design variable problem. Moreover, the optimal design can achieve $15.6\%$ weight reduction while satisfying all the multidisciplinary design constraints.

Crashworthy design of a train is a systematic approach to ensure the safety of passengers and crews in railway transportation for the prescribed accident scenarios. This approach needs new structural arrangements and designs to absorb higher levels of impact energy in a controlled manner and interior designs to minimize passenger injuries. In this paper, an evaluation method for crashworthiness of Korean tilting train express is introduced. Crush characteristics for each part of tilting train express are evaluated numerically through 3-dimensional shell element analysis with LS-DYNA. Based on a head-on collision and a level crossing collision scenarios, the crash behaviors of tilting train express are evaluated numerically using full-rake collision simulations.

With the objective of studying the response of brain tissue in a transient rotational acceleration of the head, as occurs in car crash, the problem of a cylindrical case containing a prototype brain material of silicone gel and subjected to a rotational acceleration around the axis of the cylinder is analysed. The prototype material is considered to be homogeneous and isotropic, and is modeled alternatively as a linear elastic or a linear viscoelastic solid. The computational model for the present problem consists of a 3-dimensional isoparametric finite element model, wherein large deformations and large strains are treated through the updated Lagrangian approach. A comparison of the results of the present 3-dimensional computations, with the attendant assumptions on material data, is made with the results of independent experimental study. The deformation profiles and the major characteristics of response of the brain material are in good agreement with the test results. Moreover, the study suggests the possibility that the use of more accurate material data may yield very useful results even appropriate for accurate quantification of deformations.

Repair were made for front pillar, center pillar and side-step panel for lightweight vehicles with head-on and 40% off-set collision of 15 km/h in a RCAR standard. The salt dilution was sprayed and the compression tests were performed for vehicles with and without anti-corrosional treatment after repair. After 764 hours of salt-dilt sprayed test without using anti-corrosion, the mean penetration depth fur corrosion was shown to be 58% of the thickness. The resulyed decrease in bending stiffness by 10∼20% can cause reduction of the residual life and crash-absorption capability for damaged vehicles. The corrosoin safety tests showed that the anti-corrosional treatment should be made to improve the safety characteristics for a or damaged car.

The most important technology to improve crashworthiness of high speed trains is to design their front structures to absorb crash energy easily. In this paper, crashworthy designs of the front structures in KTX and KHST are compared by numerical simulation under SNCF accident scenario. Furthermore, to evaluate their crashworthiness tinder a typical real situation, the power cars are simulated for the accident collided against a deformable dump truck of 15 tons at 110 kph. The front structure of KHST, finally designed, shows a good crashworthy characteristics. Finally, the impact strength of coupling components is evaluated by analyzing a consist of the front three KHST units under scenario of train-to-train collision at 30 kph.

As Android platform and its applications are widely used, it is necessary to assure the reliability and safety of Android applications. The capture and replay technique is widely used for reproducing the crashes in Java applications. In this paper, we adapt the context-based capture and replay technique to Android applications by considering Android activity structure and its GUI characteristics. Our capture and replay technique uses probe code insertion based on AspectJ for minimizing the original code change and for enhancing the efficiency and reusability of the probe codes. For proving the efficiency of our technique, we provide a case study and execution overhead comparisons with related works, in which our approach has merits in GUI oriented Android applications with relatively low execution overhead.

Bellows are suggested as energy absorbing elements for automotive steering systems. A metallic bellows has nearly constant axial collapse load which is desirable as an energy absorbing element for a steering column. Axial collapsability and bending flexibility of bellows can be utilized to reduce upward tilting and backward displacement of steering columns in the early stage of high speed crash. Since bending flexibility of bellows has negative effects on the vibration characteristics of steering columns it is necessary to maximize the first natural frequency of a bellows while maintaining its plastic bending flexibility and axial collapse load. An effort is made to attain optimum design of bellows based upon the Taguchi method. A general guideline for design of bellows is suggested.

Using the orthogonal arrays and the occupant analysis software based on the multi-body dynamics , two interactive design algorithms are proposed to improve the initial design of the occupant protection systems. Algorithm 1 sequentially moves the narrow design space within the upper and the lower design limit. Algorithm 2 sequentially reduces the relatively wide design space. Each design algorithm is composed of two levels . The first level is to improve the characteristics of the crash performance considering the noise factors. In order to obtain the robust design, the second level reduces the variations the noise factors. In order to obtain the robust design, the second level reduces the variations due to the tolerance of the design variable. To utilize the algorithm 1, HIC(Head Injury Criterion) , 3 msec criterion value of the chest acceleration and the femur load decreased by 27.4%, 10.4% and 55.8%, respectively. To utilizer the algorithm 2 , the results decreased by 38.0%, 10.5% and 3.0% , respectively.

Industrial disaster caused the deaths of 2,114, construction workers among them was the highest of 621 deaths. In the construction industry, has established a number of safety alternatives to prevent accidents. But until now, the cause of the accident has stopped being superficial analysis, awareness on the root cause of the acciden did not reflect. In this study, we analyze the characteristics and causes in G contractors' safety accidents. And innovation strategy, organization-wide safety management system and detailed tasks to derive essentially was to prevent the occurrence of large construction companies. A lot of business for accident prevention effect was transient and formal, to reflect a management style and organizational culture, and try to prevent construction accidents. we will strive to prevent the disaster from the construction site through the improvement of these.

In this thesis, the impact analysis for the shunting procedure using the dynamic buffer characteristics of the coupler was developed. In this study, each car was modeled as one dimensional element by using the equivalent system. After the impact, the slip exists only between wheel and rail in the braked trainset. For this analysis the analysis code named the POTAS-MSM (Power Transmission Analysis Software Multi Slip Mechanism) which was developed for the numerical analysis of dynamic system is developed. The validation of this analysis was proven by comparing the numerical results with the results of world-famous S company which is located in Europe.
