In this study, the specimen of tapered double cantilever beam(TDCB) with aluminum foam is designed and shearing fatigue strength is based on the investigation of static behaviour analysis under the condition of mode Ⅱ. These specimen models have length and width of 200 mm and 25 mm. The inclined angles of adhesive face at the specimens are 6°, 8 °and 10°. As the inclined angle becomes higher, the time for which the model can not be broken during fatigue load becomes longer. The shearing strength of TDCB bonded structure with aluminum foam applied by shearing fatigue load can be evaluated through finite element method.

IIWPG protocol for the dynamic testing of motor vehicle seats is a test procedure for ratings of seats and head restraints for neck injury prevention in low speed rear impacts. In this study, we evaluates the performance of the car seat in the dynamic test was enacted by IIWPG and initial geometry test that has been enacted by RCAR to vehicle being sold in the market today. 6 models became the A and G in the final rating that reflects the results of the dynamic test and Initial geometry test. Electronic active head restraint was found to be allowed to operate quickly headrest, it is very effective in the prevention of neck injury in support of the head of the passenger. we suspects that this is contributed lower the value injuries reduce the relative acceleration between the chest and head. It is determined that the expanded application is required up to the small car because rating appears high in the vehicle equipped with the electric active head restraint. In addition to the evaluation of the impact velocity and collision direction, neck injury continued research to present proposals for improvement is required future.

This paper presents a method for the assesment of thermal and vibration fatigues in integral exhaust manifold/turbine housing system. Most of failures on turbine housing are observed by thermal cyclic loads. In order to predict thermal failures by finite element analysis, we considered the temperature-dependent inelastic materials and transient temperature histories based on the thermal shock test. The results showed that the plastic strains of localized critical regions such as valve seat coincided well with crack locations from an endurance test. But, some failures around neck areas of turbine housing could not predict from thermal stress analysis. These cracks were originated due to the vibration excitations near resonance frequencies within engine operating ranges. The stress results of neck areas, which divided by temperature dependent yield stresses, from harmonic analysis showd a good agreement with experimental results.

Computational algorithms and their implementations are studied for the treatments of kernel function’s shadow effects, which occurs in the application of the BEM (boundary element method) for radiation heat transfer analysis. In this problem, surfaces are assumed to be diffuse and gray placed in two-dimensional enclosures with transparent medium. Self-blocking or third party blocking is possible when the radiosity from the BEM nodes cannot reach the destination points. Also the third party blocking can be the partial or total blocking case. Algorithms, which can accurately recognize the each blocking cases and reflect the shadow effects to the BEM kernel function, are studied in this paper. Effective implementation methods are presented, and their results are verified by the test problem.

In this study, we have modeled a wide angle diffuser with rectangular prism and tried to investigate the influence of a turbulent wake flow by PIV and a numerical simulation using computational fluid dynamics based on steady-state Navier-Stokes equation and standard k-ε model. A commercial CFD program, FLUENT, is used on the analysis. The turbulent wake is generated by a rectangular prism, which is installed at the diffuser. The results show that it is possible to flow control by installing a rectangular prism within the diffuser and velocity recovery is the highest in aspect ratio 1:1.

In this paper, the response of graphite/epoxy laminated composite beams subjected to impact loads without damage, is studied by the use of the developed finite element program. The modified Hertzian contact law considered elasto-plastic process is used to calculate the dynamic responses between the impactor and laminated target. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effects on the histories of contact force, deflection, damage energy, strain and stress through the thickness due to stacking sequence. In view of the kinetic energy response, [0/30/0/-30]2S laminate is faster than that of other two laminates due to its flexural stiffness. In special, the distribution of stress through the thickness shows nearly linear despite its discontinuity of stacking sequences for dynamic analysis unlike static analysis in a laminated composites.

Nowadays, the automotive industry has target to improve the fuel consumption due to restricted exhaust gas regulation. For this reason, the applicability of lightweight material, Al alloys, Mg alloys are also being expanded. In this concept, high strength steel, DP780 and light alloy, AL5052 are joined in the right place of the car body. However, it is difficult to join to steel and aluminum by conventional fusion welding. Generally, in respect to dissimilar metal joining by fusion welding, intermetallic compound layer formed at joint interface; hot cracking in generated. To evaluate the welding quality, tensile test and metallographic examination was carried. Especially, correlation between Heat per unit length and formation of intermetallic compound layer was minutely analyzed.

Large enclosure means a space of high ceiling and large floor. Designing the heating system, many thermal conditions exist, such as thermal comfort, IAQ, heating load and energy efficiency etc. The prediction of the temperature distribution is carried out according to some of the diffuser angle. The simulation conditions are 7 m high diffuser, 4/2 inlet/outlet diffusers, 39 °C discharge air temperature, and 6 m/s exit velocity. The results show that 45° diffuser provides an optimal thermal environment, and the reason is that the temperature is closed to the designed temperature 22 °C at 1.18m elevation plane. As the diffuser angle is decreased, the temperature of the upper region is increased for the thermal buoyancy effect. And the asymmetry of the temperature distribution is increased.

There are vertical wall to prevent of circulation or pollution during building of ocean structures like a dam and bridge in the harbors area and the sea. Inflow fluid and base of structure are important thing as one of the structural design factors for this interception wall like a vertical wall and watertight wall.

Scale of the vortices in recirculation zone was decreased to 45% over three rows.

This experimental work was performed to reveal the effect of intake air temperature on the improvement of performance and exhaust emissions in a SI engine. To achieve this, fuel consumption rate, combustion pressure, rate of heat release, and reduction of exhaust emissions were measured and compared in 4-cylinder spark ignition engine. It was founded that lower intake air temperature can lead higher combustion pressure and heat release rate due to the higher intake air flow rate, volumetric efficiency, and fuel consumption rate. At the same time, higher intake air temperature leads to the longer ignition delay time, therefore, retarded ignition of engine was observed. Lower CO and HC values were also observed as the intake air temperature increases.

On-line detection system of the abnormal states in a machining process needs to be developed to implement the IMS(Intelligent Manufacturing System). High productivity and efficient quality control can be achieved through the on-condition maintenance for normal tool condition. Generally it is difficult to determine the exact point of time for a tool change because a tool wear grows gradually on the contrary to other abnormal states such as tool fracture, chattering etc. In this article, the shape variation of cutting force signal generated by a insert during face milling was investigated along with a tool wear. The variance, skewness and kurtosis were used as the shape parameters to describe the shape variation and, consequently, utilized as the features to monitor a tool wear. Experimental results showed that the shape parameters could discriminate the tool condition reliably between a fresh tool and a worn tool. As a result, we proposed the method to diagnose a tool wear by combining these parameters with a neural network algorithm.
