The object of this study was to investigate for improving of the homogeneous stress distribution according to sliding cage geometry. In order to achieve this, the sliding cage were modelled as type A, type B and type C, then the sliding cage were applied at A-IMS assembly. The numerical simulation was performed by SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION commercial code and the torque range was applied from 10N·m to 40N·m at A-IMS assembly. The results of simulation were compared in terms of Von-mises stress, principal stress and displacement characteristics. Each stress of type B were the highest value. In other hand, Von-mises stress of type A and type C were less than yield stress.

Due to the increase of income, people has a car more than one per household. So parking space is needed to minimum size for making many parking spaces. But narrow parking space causes that interference with another car is occurred when car's door is opening or closing. So sliding door is best way for solving the problem. But sliding structure of the door is difficult to apply to all vehicle because existing sliding structure is limited. For this reason, new sliding structure of the door is needed. In this study, we suggest new sliding mechanism of front door for vehicle and confirm the sliding mechanism using a finite element analysis.
