The widely used spot welded sections of automobiles(hat and double hat shaped section members) absorb most of the energy in a front-end collision. The sections were tested with respect to axial static(10mm/min) and quasi-static(1000mm/min) loads. Based on these test results, specimens with various thicknesses, width ratios and spot weld pitches on the flange were tested at high impact velocity(7.19m/sec and 7.94m/sec) which simulates an actual car crash. Characteristics of collapse have been reviewed and structures for optimal energy absorbing capacity is suggested.

The hydraulic buffer stop placed on the end of the railway brakes the train could not reduce the velocity sufficiently because of the braking system troubles or driver's mistakes. The hydraulic buffer stop is composed of 2 operating parts; hydraulic buffers and rail clamps. Hydraulic buffers brake trains non-destructively in low speed, otherwise rail clamps begin to work in higher speed. In this paper, The braking process of the hydraulic buffer stop is investigated by numerical methods. The hydraulic buffer is numerically analyzed and designed to absorb the kinematic energy of the train below 3.2km/h speed. The hydraulic buffer stop crushed by the train with 5km/h speed is analyzed by FEM package-PAM CRASH in order to obtain the stress profile in rail clamps and buffer stop frame.

In recent, recreational vehicles, which efficiently provide wide inner space for various utilities, are highly preferred in automobile market. Though those vehicles enable to load much luggage in space behind the last seat, in case of frontal impact with high velocity the luggage strongly collides into the seat back and the passengers in. the last seat could be severely injured. Therefore, high strength against luggage intrusion is required for the last seat, and it is regulated by law of ECE R17. In this study, for a recreational vehicle under developing, an analysis technique for simulating seat crash in accordance with luggage intrusion test of ECE R17 was investigated. The results exhibited good correlation with the test ones.

교통사고는 인적요인, 도로 기하구조, 교통류, 환경적요인 등 복합적인 요인에 의해 발생하며, 그 중 운전자의 특성과 운전행태는 교통사고에 큰 영향을 미치고 있다. 특히 졸음운전 및 음주운전으로 인한 사행운전은 사고발생 확률이 높고, 사고 발생 시 심각도가 높다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사행운전을 검지하는 알고리즘을 개발하고, 알고리즘을 통해 사행운전을 검지하여 운전자 및 후방차량에 경고정보를 제공하는 적용방안에 대한 방법론을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서는 사행운전을 위험도에 따라 1차로 사행운전과 2차로 사행운전으로 구분하여 정의하였으며, 사행운전 시 관찰되는 횡방향 각 속도 변화의 특성을 분석하였고, 통계적 분석을 통해 정상주행과 사행운전을 분류하기 위한 임계값과 1차로 사행운전과 2차로 사행운전을 분류하기 위한 임계값을 설정하였다. 설정된 임계값을 이용하여 사행운전 검지 및 위험운전 판단 알고리즘을 평가하였다. 평가결과 제안된 사행운전 검지 알고리즘은 현장적용 시 높은 신뢰도를 가지는 정보를 제공 가능한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법론은 교통안전성 증진에 기여할 뿐만 아니라, 자이로센서와 무선통신이 가능한 장비만 있으면 적용 가능한 방법론으로 스마트폰에도 적용 가능할 것으로 판단되어 도래하는 유비쿼터스 교통서비스의 새로운 컨텐츠로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Investigations of the commercial aircraft impact effect on nuclear island infrastructures have been drawing extensive attention, and this paper aims to perform the safety assessment of Generation III nuclear power plant (NPP) buildings subjected to typical commercial aircrafts crash. At present Part III, the local damage of the rigid components of aircraft, e.g., engine and landing gear, impacting the steel concrete (SC) structures of NPP containment is mainly discussed. Two typical SC target panels with the thicknesses of 40 mm and 100 mm, as well as the steel cylindrical projectile with a mass of 2.15 kg and a diameter of 80 mm are fabricated. By using a large-caliber air gas gun, both the projectile penetration and perforation test are conducted, in which the striking velocities were ranged from 96 m/s to 157 m/s. The bulging velocity and the maximal deflection of rear steel plate, as well as penetration depth of projectile are derived, and the local deformation and failure modes of SC panels are assessed experimentally. Then, the commercial finite element program LS-DYNA is utilized to perform the numerical simulations, by comparisons with the experimental and simulated projectile impact process and SC panel damage, the numerical algorithm, constitutive models and the corresponding parameters are verified. The present work can provide helpful references for the evaluation of the local impact resistance of NPP buildings against the aircraft engine.

NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) has offered consumers the vehicle safety information on their car since 1978. NHTSA believes that they contribute auto makers to develop safer vehicle for customers, which will result in even lower numbers of deaths and injuries resulting from motor vehicle crashes. NHTSA has been studied why people are still dying in frontal test despite of the use of many restraints system and they understand that current test does not reflect real world crash data such as oblique and corner impact test. As a result, NHTSA announced that a new test method will be introduced to use of enhanced biofidelic dummy and new crash avoidance technology evaluation from 2019. New and refined injury criteria will be applied to Head / Neck / Chest / Lower Leg. BrIC(Brain Injury Criterion)value in NHTSA test results using THOR dummy from 2014 to 2015 was average 0.91 and 1.24 in driver and passenger dummies. IIHS 64kph SOF test is the most likely to new frontal oblique test in an aspect of offset impact which is being studied by NHTSA. In this paper, we focused on head injury, especially brain injury - BrIC and conducted IIHS 64kph SOF (Small Offset Front) test with Hybrid III dummy to evaluate the injury for BrIC. Based on the test results, these data can be predicted BrIC level and US NCAP rating with current vehicle.

공공시설물의 대형화 및 도심지로의 인구 밀집화에 따라 충돌 또는 폭발과 같은 하중조건 하에서의 구조물 방호성능의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 그러나 구조물의 방호설계 및 시공에 있어서 필수적이라 할 수 있는 구조 재료 또는 자재에 대한 방호성능 평가기준은 현재 정립되어 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 구조용 자재의 내충격 성능평가 기준 개발 연구의 일환으로 가스건을 사용한 발사체 충격 파괴시험을 콘크리트 시험체에서 수행함과 동시에, 다양한 접촉식 계측 센서의 적용 가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 또한, 충격 파괴시험을 통해 일반 콘크리트 및 강섬유가 보강된 초고성능콘크리트의 파괴모드 및 방호성능에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 실험 수행 결과, 접촉식 계측센서 중 LVDT 변위계의 적용 가능성을 확인하였으며, UHPC의 경우 혼입된 보강섬유의 효과로 인해 일반 콘크리트에 비해 우수한 방호성능을 보여주었다.

Investigations of large commercial aircraft impact effect on nuclear power plant (NPP) buildings have been drawing extensive attentions, particularly after the 9/11 event, and this paper aims to numerically assess the damage and vibrations of NPP buildings subjected to aircrafts crash. In Part I of present paper, two shots of reduce-scaled model test of aircraft impact on NPP were conducted based on the large rocket sled loading test platform. In the present part, the numerical simulations of both scaled and prototype aircraft impact on NPP buildings are further performed by adopting the commercial program LS-DYNA. Firstly, the refined finite element (FE) models of both scaled aircraft and NPP models in Part I are established, and the model impact test is numerically simulated. The validities of the adopted numerical algorithm, constitutive model and the corresponding parameters are verified based on the experimental NPP model damages and accelerations. Then, the refined simulations of prototype A380 aircraft impact on a hypothetical NPP building are further carried out. It indicates that the NPP building can totally withstand the impact of A380 at a velocity of 150 m/s, while the accompanied intensive vibrations may still lead to different levels of damage on the nuclear related equipment. Referring to the guideline NEI07-13, a maximum acceleration contour is plotted and the shock damage propagation distances under aircraft impact are assessed, which indicates that the nuclear equipment located within 11.5 m from the impact point may endure malfunction. Finally, by respectively considering the rigid and deformable impacts mainly induced by aircraft engine and fuselage, an improved Riera function is proposed to predict the impact force of aircraft A380.

교통 신호 위반 사고는 운전자의 주장이 서로 상반되면 원인 규명이 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 사례를 중심으로 교통 사고 분석을 위해 사용하는 차량 충돌 해석 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 PC-CRASH을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 수행하였고, 이를 통하여 교차로에서 신호 위반 차량을 규명하는 과정을 제시하였다. 첫째, 신호 위반의 원인 규명이 분명하지 않은 운전자나 목격자의 진술을 배제한다. 둘째, 사고 차량의 최종 자세, 최종위치, 파손 부위, 조향 여부, 제동 여부, 노면 흔적을 수집하고, 정지선으로부터 충돌지점까지 조사한다. 셋째, 사고 차량의 충돌 상황과 최종 정지 자세에 부합될 때까지 시뮬레이션 자료를 수정 입력한다. 넷째, 시뮬레이션 결과가 충돌 상황과 부합되면 운전자의 진술과 부합되는지 교차 검증하여 사실 규명을 입증한다. 본 연구의 시뮬레이션의 결과는 교차로 내 좌회전 신호에 렉서스는 약 55 km/h로 진입하였고 소나타는 교차로의 차량 직진 신호를 보고 72km/h로 교차로에 진입하여 렉서스와 충돌하였다. 그러므로 소나타의 신호위반으로 규명되고 소나타 운전자, 목격자, 경찰의 주장은 모순이다.

In comparison to metal alloys, braided composite features a high impact resistance and crash energy absorption potential, and also it still remained competitive stiffness and strength properties. Braiding angle is one of the most important parameters which affect the mechanical behaviors of braided composite. This paper presents transverse low velocity impact failure behavior analysis on the carbon 3D triaxial braided composite tube with the braiding angle of $20^{\circ}$, $50^{\circ}$ and $80^{\circ}$. The flexural behaviour of 3D triaxial braided composite tube under bending loads was studied by conducting quasistatic three point bending test. Also, the low velocity impact responses of the braided composite tubes were also tested to obtain load-displacement curves and energy absorption. Consequently, the increase of the braided angle, the peak load also increases owing to the bigger bending stiffness.
