차량 서브프레임의 진동특성에 미치는 주요 설계변수 공차의 영향 분석

초록

In the design process of an automobile part, several analysis methods are usually utilized to evaluate the performance of the part. However, most automobile design engineers do not directly utilize CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) tools since specific skills are required to obtain practical results. Moreover, CAE requires a huge amount of computation time and cost. In order to resolve these problems, a new design approach named First Order Analysis (FOA) technique has been proposed. In this paper, the FOA technique is employed to design a vehicle sub-frame. An equivalent model of the vehicle sub-frame which only consists of beam elements is proposed and the modal properties obtained with the model are compared to those obtained with a full scale finite element model. The effect of some parameter tolerances on the modal characteristics of the vehicle sub-frame is investigated by employing the FOA equivalent model.
