공리적 설계에 의한 안전기준을 만족하는 자동차용 시트 설계

The automobile seat must satisfy various safety regulations for the passenger's safety. In many design practices, each component is independently designed by concentrating on a single related regulation. However, since multiple regulations can be involved in a seat component, there may be design confliction among the various safety regulations. Therefore, a new design methodology is required to effectively design an automobile seat. The axiomatic approach is employed for considering multiple regulations. The Independence Axiom is used to define the overall flow of the scat design. Functional requirements (FRs) are defined by safety regulations and components of the seat arc classified into groups which yield design parameters (DPs). The classification is carried out to have independence in the FR-DP relationship. Components in a DP group arc determined by using orthogonal array of the design of experiments (DOE). Numerical analyses are utilized to evaluate the safety levels by using a commercial software system for nonlinear transient finite element analysis.
