Aluminum foam has many superb properties such as light weight, impact absorption and thermal resistance by comparing with original metallic materials. Composite materials made of aluminum foam have used at various fields as automotive bumper, shock absorption, vessel and aircraft. But it is inefficient to join aluminum foam with bolt and nut because of the property of light weight. In this study, this approach is investigated by joining aluminum foam with adhesive. Impact fatigue and failure toughness at the commissure of adhesive structure are studied by simulation analysis. This study aims to investigate the shear strength evaluation at shear mode of adhesively bonded joint with double cantilever beam(DCB) made of aluminum foam.

New material which absorbs impact energy effectively and has excellent mechanical property is developed. The used amount is increased at automobile field day by day. Aluminum foam with various air sell lattices within is one of representative porosity metals which are used at many automobile parts because it has the excellent lightness and impact energy absorption function. For this reason, aluminum foam is used widely as a component among composite materials. This study aims to investigate systematically the mechanical property of foam through computer simulation. In order to obtain the property of aluminum foam, aluminum foam is designed as the dimension of 100mm × 100mm × 25mm and the striker that has the diameter of 12.5mm is supposed to impact aluminum foam with impact energies of 6J, 10J, and 14J. Aluminum foam is not penetrated when striker given by energy of 6J or 10J impacts into it, but aluminum foam is penetrated by striker in case of impact energy of 14J. The result can provide the basic data in order to develop the advanced composite material.

four kinds of models designed by the basis of British industrial standard and ISO international standard in this study. Energy release rates at mode 1 are investigated by the fatigue analysis of aluminum foam TDCB model bonded with adhesive.

The value of m as the gradient of model is represented with the function of crack length(a) and height of model(h). Through the correlation relation, the fracture behavior of bonded material is analyzed and these analysis results can be applied to composite structures of various areas. Mechanical property and fracture toughness of composite material are also analyzed in this study.

Among the various parts of automobile, automotive seat is the most fundamental item that ride comfort can be evaluated as the part contacted at human body. Dynamic stabilities on 3 kinds of models are analysed according to inside beam configuration of rear seat frame in this study. Model 1 has the basic design of straight beam. Model 2 has the beam that is curved slightly from model 1 configuration and model 3 has honeycomb structure. Total deformations and equivalent stresses are investigated when these models are crushed at side. Total deformations due to frequencies are also obtained and critical frequencies on these frequency responses are investigated. By comparing total deformation configurations of model 1,2 and 3, model 1 and 2 apply the damage to passengers but model 3 absorbs the damage. Model 1, 2 and 3 show total deformations of 482.7, 178.9 and 151.62 mm at the critical frequencies of 180, 200 and 150Hz respectively. Because model 3 does not apply the damage to passengers and the total deformation at critical frequency becomes minimum among three models on frequency response, this model becomes most stable among 3 kinds of models when crushed at side.

Through the data of this study, the fracture behavior can be analyzed by applying the practical composite structure bonded with aluminum foam and the mechanical property can be understood.

In this study, the impact properties of aluminum honeycomb core composite are investigated through simulation analysis. The specimens are applied with different impact energies of 50 J, 70 J, and 100 J. The maximum load occurs at 3.7 ms for 50 J, 3.7 ms for 70 J and 2.3 ms for 100 J. The maximum load occurs when the striker is penetrating the upper face sheet in all cases. In case of 50 J impact energy, striker does not penetrate the lower face sheet and honeycomb core sandwich can be stable as the energy of 38 J happens. In case of 70 J impact energy, the striker penetrates into the specimen. The striker then causes the damage to the lower face sheet after penetrating the upper face sheet and the core as the energy of 53 J happens. In case of 100 J impact energy, the striker penetrates through all of the upper face sheet, core and lower face sheet as the energy of 65 J happens. This study can be utilized at the design of aluminum honeycomb core sandwich composite structure by understanding stability through the impact property.

It is necessary to study fracture energy due to fracture toughness by the use of adhesive joint at aluminum foam. This study aims at strength evaluation about adhesive joint on aluminum foam and the fracture of bonded DCB model with this material property is analyzed by simulation. These models are designed by differing in height on the basis of British industrial and ISO standards. As the value of height at model is higher, bonded part is separated to the end.

By the verification with experimental results, these all simulation results in this study can be applied on real composite structure with aluminum foam material effectively. The fracture behavior and mechanical property can also be examined by this study.

This study analyzes lifes and damages at two automotive grills in use through the structural analyses with fatigue. As maximum equivalent stress in case of aftermarket grill frame becomes smaller more 15 times than horizontal grill frame, aftermarket grill is shown to be more stable. The lowest damage becomes 2968 in case of ‘SAE bracket history’ with the severest change of load at aftermarket grill. As it becomes smaller more 5 times than horizontal grill frame, aftermarket grill has more durability. Among the cases of nonuniform fatigue loads, ‘Sample history’ with the slowest change of load becomes most unstable in case of horizontal grill frame but ‘SAE bracket history’ with the severest change of load becomes most stable in case of aftermarket grill frame. The structural result of this study can be effectively utilized with the design of automotive grill frame by investigating prevention and durability against its damage.
