In this study, we examined the assembly and components of a 40-feet container chassis based on its 3D shape. Utilizing the finite element method, we conducted structural analysis considering the total weight, including the 40-ton weight specified in automotive regulations, along with a safety margin of 1.5 under extreme load conditions. And also fixed and junction conditions were applied to the chassis system. Subsequently, we presented the maximum stress results derived from the structural analysis of both the overall chassis system and its individual components. Finally, we evaluated the structural stability of the 40-feet container chassis by comparing and reviewing the maximum stress with the yield strength of the material used for each component.

In response to requests of the global low carbon emission energy-saving building materials and due to the rapid rise in oil prices, we developed the eco-friendly PVC combined with integrated high-performance stainless steel insulated windows frame. We have made a compound chassis for windows composed of stainless and eco-friendly PVC. This compound window chassis makes the most of strong points of both materials and shows excellent insulation, airtightness and wing proofing. Heat insulating performance of the developed stainless steel insulated windows is excellent and it meet the demands for energy saving improvements and housing culture to improve the quality of life. A new beautiful appearance development can improve the performance of highly effective thermal insulation building materials and will contribute to the development of industrial competitiveness and energy-saving building technology areas.

The chassis frame generally consists of side members, cross beams, and several mounting brackets. Strength and fatigue behaviors of welded joints between members and brackets in a frame are a very complex phenomena, which comes basically due to the structural geometry, non-homogeneous material, and welding residual stresses. Therefore, the prediction of fatigue life for the welded structure is very difficult compared to that for the simple geometry. This paper presents the structural and fatigue analysis results for a body frame and welded joints under system durability loads. In order to fatigue assessment of welded joints, local stress approach is used for its simplicity, which is based on the several empirical S-N curves that are associated with welded joint types and loading modes. The estimated fatigue cycles of the welded areas in a frame were satisfied the target cycles under system load conditions.

This study analyzes the resistance spot weldability of DP60 steels. To analyze the resistance spot weldability of DP60 steels, tensile strength test and macro-section test were conducted for the resistance spot welds. Acceptable welding conditions were determined as a function of the resistance spot welding process parameters such as electrode force, welding time, and welding current. The lower limit of the welding lobe was the minimum shear tension strength for 590MPa-grade steel while the upper limit was determined whether or not expulsion was detected.
