This paper focuses on the energy absorption of lattice core sandwich structures of different configurations. The diamond lattice unit cell, which has been extensively investigated for energy absorption applications, is the starting point for this research. The energy absorption behaviour of sandwich structures with an expanded metal sheet as the core is investigated at low-velocity impact loading. Numerical simulations were carried out using ABAQUS/EXPLICIT and the results were thoroughly compared with the experimental results, which indicated desirable accuracy. A parametric analysis, using a Box-Behnken design (BBD), as a method for the design of experiments (DOE), was performed. The samples fabricated in three levels of parameters include 0.081, 0.145, and 0.562 mm² Cell sizes, and 0, 45, and 90-degree cell orientation, which were investigated. It was observed from experimental data that the angle of cells orientation had the highest degree of influence on the specific energy absorption. The results showed that the angle of cells orientation has been the most influential parameter to increase the peak forces. The results from using the design expert software showed the optimal specific energy absorption and peak force to be 1786 J/kg and 26314.4 N, respectively. The obtained R2 values and normal probability plots indicated a good agreement between the experimental results and those predicted by the model.

A computer-aided process design system for axisymmetric deep drawing products has been developed. An approach to the system is based on the knowledge based system. The hypothesized process outline of the deep drawing operations is generated in the geometrical design module of the system. In this paper, the module has been expanded. The rules of process design sechems for complex cup drawings are formulated from handbooks, experimental results and empirical knowhow of the field experts. The input to the system is final sheet-metal objects geometry and the output from the system is process sequence with intermediate objects geometries and process parameters, such as drawing load, blank holding force, clearance and cup-drawing coefficient.

2차원 층상결정구조를 갖는 금속산화물 나노시트의 조성을 제어함으로써 재료 물성 및 응용의 확장이 가능하다. 본 연구에서 니오비움(Nb)이 도핑 된 타이타늄산화물(TiO_y) 나노시트 합성에 성공함으로써 나노시트의 조성을 순수조성에서 도핑조성으로 확장할 수 있었다. 상세하게는 출발 물질인 층상 구조 금속산화물 합성 시 도핑 조성을 설계(K_0.8Ti_1.73-xNb_xLi_0.27O₄, x = 0, 0.03, 0.07)하고 고상 합성한 후 유기물처리를 통한 화학적 박리를 수행하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 니오비움이 도핑 된 타이타늄산화물 초박막 나노시트를 수득할 수 있었다. 나노시트의 크기는 x-y 방향에서 긴 길이 기준으로 2 ㎛ 이하였으며 두께(z 방향)는 약 1 nm였다. 니오비움의 도핑 여부는 XRD 및 SEM-EDS 분석을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.

Currently, starting with electric vehicles, the application of ultra-high-strength steel sheets and light metals has expanded to improve mileage by reducing vehicle weight. At a time when internal combustion engine vehicles are rapidly changing to electric vehicles, the application of ultra-high-strength steel is expanding to satisfy both weight reductions and the performance safety of the chassis parts. There is an urgent need to improve the quality of parts without defects. It is particularly difficult to estimate the part formability through the finite element method (FEM) in the burring operation, so product design has been based on the hole expansion ratio (HER) and experience. In this study, design of experiment (DOE), analysis of variance (ANOVA), and regression analysis were combined to optimize the formability by adjusting the process variables affecting the burring formability of ultra-high-strength steel parts. The optimal variables were derived by analyzing the influence of variables and the correlation between the variables through FE analysis. Finally, the optimized process parameters were verified by comparing experiment with simulation. As for the main influence of each process variable, the initial hole diameter of the piercing process and the shape height of the preforming process had the greatest effects on burring formability, while the effect of a lower round of punching in the burring process was the least. Moreover, as the diameter of the initial hole increased, the thickness reduction rate in the burring part decreased, and the final burring height increased as the shape height during preforming increased.
