In this paper, durability verification of forged wheels for automobiles were performed using the finite element method for bending fatigue analysis and impact analysis. In addition, the durability analysis environment of forged wheels was implemented. By analyzing the stress distribution on the surface of the forged wheel, the area with a high possibility of breakage was identified and improved. The durability analysis of the initial model forged wheel was performed by bending fatigue analysis and impact analysis, The stress distribution of the forged wheel surface was analyzed through the analysis results of the initial model. and the spokes, flanges, hubs, and rear parts are less likely to be damaged were cut to reduce the weight by about 10%, and the reliability of the improved model was confirmed.

In this research, a simulation program is developed in order to investigate non steady-state cornering performance of 6WD/6WS special-purpose vehicles. 6WD vehicles are believed to have good performance on off-the-road maneuvering and to have fail-safe capabilities. But the cornering performances of 6WS vehicles are not well understood in the related literature. In this study, 6WD/6WS vehicles are modeled as a 18 DOF system which includes non-linear vehicle dynamics, tire models, and kinematic effects. Then the vehicle model is constructed into a simulation program using the MATLAB/SIMULINK so that input/output and vehicle parameters can be changed easily with the modulated approach. Cornering performance of the 6WS vehicle is analyzed for brake steering and pivoting, respectively. Simulation results show that cornering performance depends on the middle-wheel steering as well as front/rear wheel steering. In addition, a new 6WS control law is proposed in order to minimize the sideslip angle. Lane change simulation results demonstrate the advantage of 6WS vehicles with the proposed control law.

The driving efficiency in vehicles depends on a weight lightening of wheels. Lightweight aluminum wheel research has been widespread over the years. Carbon wheels reduce weight by 50% compared to aluminum wheels and have high tensile strength and low heat absorption. This study was investigated to apply the carbon fiber of molding pressure to produce the carbon wheel. Carbon wheel of mold structure analysis was performed.

다이아몬드와는 달리 CBN은 철족 재료 연삭시 화학적 마모가 거의 없다. 이러한 장점으로 인해 CBN휠이 철강 재료 연삭에 널리 사용되고 잇는 것이다. 그러나 CBN 휠의 성능은 CBN을 붙잡고 있는 결합제에 크게 의존한다. 오늘날 널리 사용되는 결합제인 주석 청동 합금은 내마모성에 한계가 있다. 주석 청동 합금의 내마모성을 증대시키기 위해 Co를 첨가하였다. 이러한 기지합금에 젖음성을 향사시키기위해 Co코팅 CBN을 사용하였다. 기지합금에 20%co를 첨가한 것이 입계에서 연속적인 δ상생성, 취성 증가에 따라 자생작용이 활발하였다. 가장 높은 연삭비를 나타낸 것은 Cu-15wt%Sn, cu-33wt%Sn, co를 40:40:20으로 제작한 휠이었다.

This research aims to revisit the hypothesis that bribery hurts firm performance in the context of a perceptibly corrupt country. Specifically, we use micro-data from Vietnamese small and medium firm surveys in 2013 and 2015 to examine whether bribery impedes firm revenue growth and labor productivity growth. An issue arising in this type of research is the potential endogeneity between firm bribing behaviors and firm performance. To go around the issue, we follow the literature to instrument bribery variable with the average probability of bribery in other provinces. We further employ the Analysis of Variance technique (ANOVA) to unveil if the effect of bribery is dependent on bribing purposes. The regression results show that firm performance is significantly influenced by firm size, firm age and firm bribing behavior. Larger firms are more likely to grow faster while firm performance tends to be negatively related to firm age. Particularly, we find that bribery significantly impedes firm revenue growth and labor productivity growth. The analysis of variance shows that the effect of bribery on firm performance may vary across bribing purposes. Our findings, therefore, support the sand-the-wheels hypothesis that bribery hurts firm performance even in a highly corrupt business environment.
