In this study, the effect of downward inclined interface about interfacial crack of bimaterials are discussed. The fracture parameter are analyzed by finite element method of the ANSYS. The energy release rates, displacement jump and stress distribution were analyzed as the gradient variation of inclined interfaces. As a results, in case of positive shear displacement was applied, the energy release rates not varied with gradient of inclined interface increasing. However in case of negative shear displacement was applied, the energy release rates decreased with gradient of inclined interface increasing. Due to the inclined interface contact, the shielding effect relatively increased as the gradient of inclined interface was increased.

The general auto transmission uses the torque converter that has a good vibration damping force by launching performance and damping effect as power transfer unit. The vehicle equipped with auto transmission uses Lock up clutch system to improve the fuel efficiency. The Lock up clutch system is the major factor of the devices that increase the torque from engine to transmission in specific condition and also consist of the damper springs to transfer the torque stably. Damper spring controls the vibration of power transfer units and improve the impression of riding and durability, by being damping function on change torque from engine. In addition, not only the appearance and performance, but also these sensitive qualities as like vibration and noise can also be main factor to buy a car. Recently, in order to absorb the low vibration caused by vehicle structure vibration, the Low-stiffness damper has been on the rise. The damper spring should be considered and designed, considering the engine characteristic and direct connect of lock up clutch due to the stiffness of the spring and hysteresis has a major effects to the damper characteristic. This study can be used for analyzing the major factors to effect the NVH characteristic by evaluating the damper’s hysteresis according to change of spring stiffness.

Micro structure observation for low carbon steel base material and heat treatment(annealing), performing a tensile test and impact test, the specimen after the impact test is intended to evaluate the crack propagation characteristics by performing a fractal dimension analysis. The tensile strength of the base materials were observed higher compared to the heat treated materials, impact absorbed energy of heat treated materials was a higher than base materials. Impact Test and fractal dimension of the side of the test specimen was shown significantly more test temperature increases, heat treated material was higher than the base material
