The investigation on the lightweight of automobiles has been underway in commercial vehicles as well as passenger cars due to global warming and strengthening of European emission standards. In this study, the V-arm were developed for lightweight parts using aluminum alloy instead of steel with high pressure die casting processing. This study has focused on lightweight adaptive concept design. Several models of V-arm were designed and analyzed for the fluidity and solidification. V-arm was produced with ADC12 by high pressure die-casting process. The mechanical properties of developed V-arm were measured; such as tensile strength, elongation, shear strength, and durability. The possibility of mass production with the light weight aluminum V-arm substitute from the steel. The weight was reduced about 38% from 16kg to 9.98kg. The productivity was improved with decreasing the process from 8 to 5 by All-in-0ne process using high pressure die-casting.

This study on Structural analysis of kickboard used two types suspension systems. Kickboard is very dangerous in rider because of unstable in diving conditions. Thus suspension system of kickboard are very important component parts. This study focus on two suspensions for stability in kickboard which coil spring and aluminium leaf spring.

본 연구에서는 현제 농가에서 사용하고 있는 진동흡수장치가 전혀 없는 트레일러(E)와 트레일러의 적재규격에 적합하게 평판스프링과 쇽업쇼바를 동시에 설계 제작한 트레일러(I)를 사용하였다. 트레일러에 360kg의 배를 4층으로 적재한 상태로 아스팔트 도로 위를 2m/s로 정속 주행하면서 발생된 평균 진동 주파수의 크기를 상호 비교하여 개발된 트레일러의 진동흡수 효과를 비교 분석하였다. 개발한 현가장치를 장착한 개량된 트레일러는 60Hz 이하와 80Hz 이하의 주파수에서 기존 트레일러에 비해 진동 가속도의 감소 효과가 매우 크게 나타났다. 기존 트레일러에 비하여 개량된 트레일러에서 평균 진동가속도의 크기는 주파수 영역에 따라서 다르긴 하지만 3분의 1까지 대폭 감소시킬 수 있었다. 후방의 상층에 적재된 농산물일수록 진동가속도의 크기가 높아 부패가 빨리 진행 된다고 보고된 논문과 일치하지 않는 이유는 전 연구자는 적재함의 길이가 14,000mm이었고 본 시험에서 사용한 적재함은 1,820mm로 비교적 짧은 것에서 얻어진 결과로 일정한 경향을 찾기가 어려웠던 것으로 판단된다. 모든 주파수의 영역에서 개량된 트레일러가 기존의 트레일러에 비하여는 진동가속도의 크기가 현저히 낮게 나타났다. 특히 40Hz에서 80Hz까지의 주파수대에서 3분의 1로 진동가속도의 크기를 줄일 수 있어서 농산물의 수송 손실을 대폭 감소시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

A study of fuelcell hybrid electronic vehicle for improve fuel consumption is used one wheel dynamic vehicle model and make a profound study of control strategy for cuts fuel consumption. For this reason there is a limit to study of real vehicle fuel consumption increase with weight transfer. This study perform a precision multi-body fuelcell hybrid electronic vehicle modeling using functional suspension model have fast analysis time. Verify a improve fuel consumption in urban driving cycle compare with one wheel dynamic model and demonstrate a power loss decrease by weight transfer is causes of fuel consumption rise.

In this study, we developed an FSEA(Force-sensing Series Elastic Actuator) composed of a spring and an actuator has been developed to compensate for external disturbance forced. The FSEA has a simple structure in which the spring and the actuator are connected in series, and the external force can be easily measured through the displacement of the spring. And the characteristic of the spring absorbs the shock to the small disturbance and increases the sense of stability. It is designed and constructed to control the stiffness of such springs more flexibly according to the situation. The conventional FSEA uses a fixed stiffness spring and the actuator is not compensated properly when it receives large or small external force. Through this experiment, it is confirmed that FSEA compensates the external force through the proposed algorithm that the variable stiffness compensates well for large and small external forces.

Security robot has gradually developed and deployed in order to protect civilian’s lives as well as fortune and subjugate the shortcomings of CCTV which lacks of mobility. We have developed a security robot for outdoor environment and the main purpose of the driving mechanism is to overcome the bumps or projections with high speed. The robot platform consists of 4 omnidirectional wheel-based driving mechanisms and suspension for each driving mechanism. In this paper, principal suspension parameters of outdoor security robot for overcoming obstacles with stability are studied and approximately optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) since it is difficult to find the exact relationship between suspension parameters and the shock, which is significantly associated with stability of the robot, at the robot platform. Simulation using ADAMS is conducted for assessing the feasibility of optimized design parameters.
