연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

A reinforcement beam is roll formed from a metal sheet for use in a vehicle bumper system. The reinforcement beam includes adjacent tubes having a common center wall and lateral portions extending from opposing sides of the common center wall that are roll formed simultaneously in the same rotational direction to enclose interior volumes of the adjacent tubes and to define top and bottom walls and front and rear wall of the reinforcement beam. The front walls of the adjacent tubes each include a channel rib depressed into the interior volume of the respective adjacent tube longitudinally along the reinforcement beam for stiffening the respective front wall. A weld is formed separately in each of the seams between the front walls and between the rear walls, thereby defining a crevice rib between the channel ribs to improve the bending strength and torsional strength of the reinforcement beam.

1. A reinforcement beam roll formed from a metal sheet, said reinforcement beam comprising: a bumper reinforcement beam for a vehicle that includes adjacent tubes having a metal sheet shaped to include a common center wall and lateral portions of the metal sheet extending from opposing sides of the common center wall that enclose interior volumes of the adjacent tubes to define top and bottom walls of the bumper reinforcement beam that are parallel with the common center wall and front and rear walls of the bumper reinforcement beam that are in coplanar alignment with each other and perpendicular to the common center wall;wherein the adjacent tubes each include a channel rib that is defined by a portion of the respective front wall depressed into the interior volume of the respective adjacent tube longitudinally along the bumper reinforcement beam for stiffening the respective portion of the front wall;wherein seams are defined between the adjacent tubes along the front wall and along the rear wall, and wherein the seams are formed by a bend radius of about 3-9 mm that is roll formed at edge portions of the lateral portions of the metal sheet with a tip of each of the edge portions in abutting and continuous contact with the common center wall; anda weld formed separately in each of the seams on the front and rear walls of the bumper reinforcement beam, wherein the welds are configured to be formed by welders of a weld station that holds a consistent rectangular cross section of the bumper reinforcement beam in place and that holds lateral edges of the metal sheet against the common center wall to substantially close the seams when forming the welds, wherein a rear crevice rib having the bend radius of one of the edge portions is defined by the weld along the seam on the rear wall, and wherein a front crevice rib having the bend radius of the other of the edge portions is defined by the weld along the seam on the front wall between the channel ribs, and wherein the front and rear crevice ribs are generally aligned with the common center wall to improve bending strength and torsional strength of the bumper reinforcement beam. 2. The reinforcement beam of claim 1, wherein the welds each include a continuous strip of bonded material formed by laser welding. 3. The reinforcement beam of claim 1, wherein the adjacent tubes are longitudinally curved along at least a part of their length in a plane parallel to the common center wall for conforming with an aerodynamic shape of a vehicle bumper. 4. The reinforcement beam of claim 1, wherein the channel ribs are generally centered over a front surface of the respective tube and formed in parallel alignment with the front crevice rib. 5. The reinforcement beam of claim 1, wherein the channel ribs are roll formed during simultaneous bending of the lateral portions and protrude into the interior volume a depth at least two times a thickness of the metal sheet. 6. The reinforcement beam of claim 1, wherein the bend radius is of about 3-4 mm, and wherein radiused corners are defined between the common center wall and the lateral portions to substantially minor the bend radius at the edge portions of the metal sheet, thereby defining sides of the seams opposite the edge portions. 7. The reinforcement beam of claim 1, wherein the metal sheet has a material thickness of less than 1.2 mm. 8. The reinforcement beam of claim 1, wherein the metal sheet has a tensile strength of greater than 250 ksi. 9. A vehicle reinforcement beam roll formed from a metal sheet for use in a vehicle bumper system, said vehicle reinforcement beam comprising: a bumper reinforcement beam for a vehicle that includes adjacent tubes having a metal sheet shaped to include a common center wall and lateral portions extending from opposing sides of the common center wall and curved to enclose interior volumes of the adjacent tubes and to define top and bottom walls of the bumper reinforcement beam that are parallel with the common center wall and front and rear walls of the bumper reinforcement beam that are perpendicular to the common center wall;wherein seams are disposed between the adjacent tubes along the front wall and along the rear wall, and wherein the seams are formed by a bend radius of about 3-9 mm that is roll formed at edge portions of the lateral portions of the metal sheet with a tip of each of the edge portions abutting the common center wall;a weld formed in each of the seams at the front and rear walls of the bumper reinforcement beam, wherein the welds are configured to be formed by welders of a weld station that holds a consistent rectangular cross section of the bumper reinforcement beam in place and the edge portions against the common center wall to substantially close the seams when forming the welds;wherein a rear crevice rib having the bend radius of one of the edge portions is provided by the weld along the seam on the rear wall, and wherein a front crevice rib having the bend radius of the other of the edge portions is provided by the weld along the seam on the front wall between channel ribs formed on a portion of the respective front wall, and wherein the front and rear crevice ribs are generally aligned with the common center wall to improve bending strength and torsional strength of the bumper reinforcement beam; andwherein the front and rear walls have a curved shape extending longitudinally along the bumper reinforcement beam and adapted to correspond with an aerodynamic shape of a corresponding vehicle. 10. The vehicle reinforcement beam of claim 9, wherein the welds each include a continuous strip of bonded material formed by laser welding. 11. The vehicle reinforcement beam of claim 9, wherein the adjacent tubes each include one of the channel ribs that protrudes into the interior volume of the respective adjacent tube and extends longitudinally along the bumper reinforcement beam for stiffening the front wall. 12. The vehicle reinforcement beam of claim 11, wherein the channel ribs are generally centered over a front surface of the respective adjacent tube and formed in parallel alignment with the crevice rib. 13. The vehicle reinforcement beam of claim 12, wherein the channel ribs are roll formed during simultaneous bending of the lateral portions and protrude into the interior volume a depth at least two times a thickness of the metal sheet. 14. The vehicle reinforcement beam of claim 9, wherein radiused corners are defined between the common center wall and the lateral portions at a location where the edge portions come into abutting contact with the common center wall, and wherein the radiused corners substantially mirror the bend radius on the edge portions, thereby defining sides of the seams opposite the edge portions. 15. The vehicle reinforcement beam of claim 9, wherein the metal sheet has a material thickness of less than 1.2 mm and a tensile strength of greater than 250 ksi.
