In this study, polyacetal plates were machined with an indexable drill (Ø18mm) to measure the dimensional error of holes according to the cutting conditions and investigate the influencing factors to obtain precision holes. Cutting velocity, feed, and depth of cut were selected as experimental variables, analyzed using design of experiment, and optimal cutting conditions were investigated. Cutting velocity and feed were significant factors affecting hole accuracy, whereas depth of cut had little effect. The factor with the greatest influence on hole accuracy was cutting velocity, and the dimensional error of the holes tended to increase as the cutting velocity increased. Dimensional error tended to decrease as feed increased. In addition, the interaction effect between cutting velocity and feed and cutting velocity and depth of cut were significant. In this experiment, the optimal cutting velocity, feed, and depth of cut needed to minimize the dimensional error of holes were 100 m/min, 0.15 mm/rev, and 2 mm, respectively.
As advanced driver-assistance systems become more common in commercial vehicles, there is a growing need for evaluating safety of vehicles. Low platform target robot systems play a crucial role in this evaluation process as they can assess safety performances of autonomous vehicles. Driving stability of a target robot during real vehicle tests depends significantly on its suspension system. Therefore, developing an appropriate suspension device for the target robot is of utmost importance. This study aimed to improve driving stability by comparing two different suspension configurations: a single rocker and a double rocker, both incorporating a crank rocker mechanism. Initially, a two-dimensional model that met constraints of the suspension device was developed, followed by an analysis of reaction forces. Subsequently, an optimal design was determined using design of experiments principles based on parameters of a 2D model. The manufactured suspension system model based on the optimal design underwent multi-body dynamics simulation to evaluate driving stability. Comparative analysis of driving stability for both configurations was performed using MBD simulation, offering insights into the superior suspension design for the target robot.
SFT, which has a high glass fiber content, is one of the effective methods to replace metal and secure weight reduction and price competitiveness. Also, paintless injection molding in which a functional pattern is applied to the mold surface can eliminate the cost of painting. In this study, three types of SFTs were manufactured by adding round glass fibers measuring Φ7 and Φ10 μm and flat glass fiber measuring 27 × 10 μm for the experiment. DOE (Design of Experiment) was conducted to confirm the change in the warpage of the product and the gloss of the micro pattern due to the cross-sectional shape of glass fibers and the major injection conditions. Based on the results, it was identified that the flat SFT had a very small warpage compared to the round SFTs, and the holding pressure was the main factor in the warpage of all three SFTs. The Φ7 μm SFT had the largest gloss value, and the Φ10 μm SFT and the flat SFT had similar average values. All SFTs demonstrated an enormous change in gloss according to the change in mold temperature. The flat SFT had the smallest standard deviation in both warpage and gloss.
In the heating and drying system using microwaves, an optimal design method was presented to effectively shield microwaves leakage between the door and the cylindrical applicator. In order to protect the human body from leaking microwaves, it is necessary to keep the intensity of microwaves below 5 mW/cm². The door part adopts a choke structure and includes a number of design factors, such as, fin shape, slit shape, and a gap between the applicator and the door. The geometry was optimized by design of experiments, applying full factorial design and response surface method in a 4-factor, 2-level design. The results obtained by ANSYS HFSS analysis were applied to the intensity of microwave leakage according to the change of the design factors. The shape of the choke structure was optimized using Minitab, a statistical program. The microwave heating and drying system was manufactured based on optimal design value and the leakage of microwaves between the door and the applicator was measured. We confirmed that the experimental values were consistent with the simulation values.
SFT, which has a high glass fiber content, is one of the effective methods to replace metal and secure weight reduction and price competitiveness. This study evaluated the effect of glass fiber shape on mechanical properties in injection molding by fabricating SFT with a glass fiber content of 60%. Three types of SFTs were manufactured by adding round glass fibers of Φ7 μm and Φ10 μm and flat glass fibers of 27 × 10 μm. DOE (Design of Experiment) conducts to confirm the change in tensile strength due to changes in significant injection conditions. As a result of the experiment, Φ7 μm SFT and flat SFT have similar tensile strength and Φ10 μm SFT showed the lowest tensile strength value. As for the standard deviation of strength value, the Φ7 μm SFT had the largest standard deviation, and the Φ10 μm SFT showed the slightest change in the injection conditions. In flat SFT, it confirms that the tensile strength increased as the molding temperature increased. The fracture surface observes using SEM. It founds that the tensile strength lowers due to the small glass fiber density and many pullouts at the fracture surface of Φ10 μm with weak strength.

An optimal design was developed for housing of a 50-ton hydraulic breaker. A four-factor, two-level design was created using the full factorial design, and it was confirmed that the safety factor, the response value, exhibited a curvature. As the curvature was confirmed, a higher-order experiment, a response surface analysis was performed. Based on the Minitab"s optimized prediction of the safety factor and weight, the actual analysis was performed using ANSYS Workbench, the finite element analysis program. As a result, the safety factor was 2.03 and the weight was 3222.2 kg, which was almost consistent with the Minitab’s prediction. The safety factor decreased from 2.33 to 2.03 compared to that in the initial model, but the optimization model can also be judged as being safe because the safety factor was set to 2.00. The weight was reduced by 119.1 kg, from 3341.3 to 3222.2 kg.
As global warming is rapidly emerging as one of the inherently global issues, one of the renewable energies, i.e. thermo-electric generation, has received attention. In order to increase the efficiency of thermo-electric generation, a maximum temperature difference in plain fins in a heat exchanger is needed, and an appropriate pressure drop is required to ensure stable flow of high temperature fluid. In the present study, the characteristics of the temperature difference and pressure difference for the 2 kW-class thermo-electric generator installed in exhaust pipes of a cogeneration plant were investigated numerically via thermal fluid analysis using ANSYS CFX. Then, size optimization for plain fins of a heat exchanger was carried out using SAS JMP, in which the temperature difference was maximized while meeting the requirement of a given pressure drop condition. A meta-model was generated by using the response surface model, and individual desirability functions were defined to derive the optimal solution that provided the maximal overall desirability function. The result obtained by size optimization showed that the temperature difference of the optimized plain fins of a heat exchanger increased by approximately 27% in comparison with the original model under the given pressure drop condition.
In this paper, the boom structure of a telescopic boom-type forklift truck was analyzed using ANSYS, a finite element analysis program. As a result, 494.22 MPa exceeded 456.08 MPa, allowable stress of the material, in the second boom. Thus, structural analysis was performed by reinforcing the thickness of the boom and stress was reduced. The experiment was conducted by selecting four factors of the thickness of the boom T1, T2, T3, and T4. Through response surface analysis, the curvature of the factors for stress was confirmed, and T1 was the most influential factor. Through regression equations from the variance analysis of each response, response maximization was performed to optimize mass and stress. As a result, 467.65 MPa was predicted. This exceeded allowable stress of 456.08 MPa. To obtain the result that does not exceed allowable stress, the mass was fixed at 118 kg, the initial value, and multiple response optimization was performed to limit target value and minimize stress. As a result, 432.96 MPa was expected to occur, and structural analysis resulted in 428.87 MPa stress demonstrating 13.22% reduction of stress compared to the existing model, and it is safe because allowable stress was less than 456.08 MPa.

This study investigated the effects of process parameters on mechanical properties of fabricated parts of the Polylactic acid (PLA) materials using fused deposition modeling (FDM) in 3D printing Technology. First, Taguchi method in the design of experiment (DOE) approach was applied to generate a design matrix of three process parameters namely; printing speed, extrusion temperature and layer thickness. A L9 array with 9 specimens was used for fabrication under various process parameters by the Builder 3D printer. Tensile test was implemented and recorded in accordance with ASTM D368 standard. Achieved data were analyzed using the Minitab software to show the effect of each process parameter on mechanical properties. Secondly, a regression model was developed to predict the trend of response in case of change in setting of parameters and estimating the optimal set of process parameters which creates the strongest FDM parts. The achieved optimum parameters were used to validate the fabricated samples for tensile testing. According to the results, the best mechanical strength of fabricated parts was achieved with printing speed of 48 mm/s, extrusion temperature of 220 degree of celsius (C) and the layer thickness of 0.15 mm. Also, the extrusion temperature was the most influencing factor on ultimate tensile stress.

To secure the precision forming capability of a press while reducing its production and transport costs, the development of stiff and lightweight frame is important. In this study, the topology and multi-objective structural optimization problem of a frame structure was introduced with an effort to develop highly stiff and lightweight frame for a mechanical press with 300 ton capacity. First, a design space model was constructed to derive a new frame structure different from the existing one for topology optimization. Using the design of experiments and the structural analysis model of the frame structure improved based on the topology optimization result, the multi-objective optimization problem was established with loop stiffness and mass of frame as objectives and the steel plate thickness as design variable. The review on Pareto optimum solutions of the multi-objective optimization problem revealed the fact that this optimization method could significantly contribute to the high stiffness and lightweight frame structure for a mechanical press.

While designing an armored vehicle platform, survivability is the most important capability and so protection design should be performed. In particular, mine protection design should be preferentially considered in a way that can reduce mass casualties. In this study, a simplified model, the main design parameters and their levels were defined, and then mine blast simulations were performed to obtain an effective protection design procedure. Before performing the main simulation, an experiment and simulation for a simple armor plate were performed and compared in order to certify the reliability of the numerical model. Afterwards, simulation cases, which were based on the reasonable numerical model, were defined by the DOE (Design of Experiment). An evaluation of the simulation results was carried out through both the contour and in a statistical manner, via a main effect analysis and ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). Finally, the impact characteristics of a protection parameters under the mine blast were estimated.

In this investigation, a locking mechanism was proposed for electronic products that have battery covers. The exterior design of electronic products has been advanced with diversified materials including polymers and metals. Unlike polymers such as polycarbonate, metals are not easily deformed. Therefore, products with a metallic exterior have an added button to release the battery cover, which limits the quality of the exterior design. In this study, a new design without a release button that included a miniature solenoid inside the product was proposed. The Taguchi method was used to maximize the attraction force of the solenoid while, at the same time, minimizing its dimensions.
