To cope with the challenge from global market characterized by frequent changes in requirements, manufacturing enterprise should be able to promptly adjust its manufacturing system accordingly. Therefore, it is important to provide manufacturing system designer with an appropriate methodology to (re-)design a manufacturing system subject to requirements change. Axiomatic design theory focuses design activity mainly on functional consideration rather than physical, and has been known as effective especially in the conceptual design phase. This paper introduces an approach to apply the axiomatic design principle to manufacturing system design. It is shown that a new design solution can be reached quickly by finding design parameters for the added or revised functional requirements and thus achieving a set of functional requirements as well as design parameters that satisfy the independence axiom. Some illustrative examples are also given.

As the automation system in manufacturing field works more efficientely, the automation scheme is applied to many areas. In order to reduce the entire manufacturing, cost the design process must be automated. However, design process is so complicated, it is very difficult to construct the design automation system. The axiomatic approach to design provides a general theoretical framework for all design fields, including mechanical design. The key concepts of axiomatic design are : the existence of domains, the characteristic vectors within the domains that can be decomposed into hierarchies through zigzagging between the domains, and the design axioms. Using this approach, the glass bulb design process was analyzed and the design automation software was developed. Through menu display, a user can select or furnish the design input and generate the drawing with ease.

The web ontology language(OWL) has become a W3C recommendation to publish and share ontologies on the semantic web. In order to check the satisfiablity of concepts in OWL ontology, OWL reasoners have been introduced. But most reasoners simply report check results without providing a justification for any arbitrary entailment of unsatisfiable concept in OWL ontologies. In this paper, we propose dependency label based causing inconsistency axiom (CIA) detection for debugging unsatisfiable concepts in ontology. CIA is a set of axioms to occur unsatisfiable concepts. In order to detect CIA, we need to find axiom to cause inconsistency in ontology. If precise CIA is gave to ontology building tools, these ontology tools display CIA to debug unsatisfiable concepts as suitable presentation format. Our work focuses on two key aspects. First, when a inconsistency ontology is given, it detect axioms to occur unsatisfiable and identify the root of them. Second, when particular unsatisfiable concepts in an ontology are detected, it extracts them and presents to ontology designers. Therefore we introduce a tableau-based decision procedure and propose an improved method which is dependency label based causing inconsistency axiom detection. Our results are applicable to the very expressive logic SHOIN that is the basis of the Web Ontology Language.

Recent industrial requirements for highly precise shape processing have brought the electric discharge machining (EDM) in great need. High precision in EDM is primarily achieved by high performance controllers. However there exists inherent precision loss due to structural deformation. On this background, we study structural deformation characteristics of wire cut EDM via finite element (FE) analysis and axiomatic design. Two different wire cut EDMs are selected as analysis models. 3D CAD package I-Deas is first used to construct FE models of wire cut EDMs, and then ABAQUS FE code is used for following structural analysis. Pertinency of FE mesh refinement is discussed in terms of ${\eta}-factor$. It is shown that performance accuracy of EDM depends strongly on the structural characteristics. Some design enhancements are suggested in an axiomatic design point of view. Finally we provide weight and temperature induced displacement discrepancies between wire end points as position functions of each subframe.

This paper presents an analysis of the design hypothesis of integration of parts from the viewpoint of axiomatic design. In parts integration, parts with the same functions are integrated into a single part. For the analysis, a motor actuator of an outside rear-view mirror with the type of an uncoupled design was used. The parts within the actuator are checked for determining the possibility of integration, by adopting the design hypothesis of integration of parts. The design hypothesis of integration of parts is based on a type of coupled design. However, the type of incomplete coupled design that resembles the type of an uncoupled design would be better than the type of a coupled design.

When we use various multimedia programs such as 3D-game, visual conference, dial-pad phone by internet service, we make use of headset generally. As internet system is magnified more and more, a demand of headset will be increasing continuously. Because microphone was fixed by headset, it has many inconveniences for using headset. For these reasons, new concept headset is needed nowadays. Main idea of development of headset is very the automatic operation system of microphone. There are many process variables in appling new technology to the conventional headset. They can be solved by using axiomatic approach method which is very useful design method for designing new products. Its main character is scientific and analytical. The goal of this research is to design and manufacture a new headset model with axiomatic design method. In this paper, a new concept headset was presented by mapping the relation between functional requirements and design parameters.

In mechanical design part, though many design methodologies have been developed, most of them are applicable for detailed design. Therefore, when people had to do conceptual design, they relied on their individual creativity. To improve this phenomenon, some methodologies are developed such as TRIZ and axiomatic design. In this paper, both TRIZ and axiomatic design methodologies will be reviewed. In addition, some papers which contain conceptual design case study will be also dealt with. These case studies are results of application both axiomatic design and TRIZ methodology.

The Design Axioms provide a general framework for design methodologies. The axiomatic design framework has been successfully applied to various design tasks. However, the axiomatic design has been rarely utilized in the detailed design process of structures where the optimization technology is generally carried out. The relationship between the axiomatic design and the optimization is investigated and Logical Decomposition method is developed for a systematic structural optimization. The entire optimization process is decomposed to satisfy the Independence Axiom. In the decomposition process, design variables are grouped according to sensitivities. The sensitivities are evaluated by the Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) to avoid considering only local values. The developed method is verified through examples such as the twenty -five members transmission tower and the two -bay-six-story frame.

Design structure of a mobile phone has been changed to a converged style, which has so many functions. However, the converged mobile phone could not satisfy the users who want to use only specific functions, so with Axiomatic Design, we have studied for making a proposal to set up the new concept. The goal of this study is to derive a general solution with Axiomatic Design to verify the Independence. By enhancing the existing design model and differentiating the function of mobile phone, user will be able to choose desirable products, which have only specific functions and/or specific parts. First of all, we checked the Independence about the existing design model. Then, we developed the new design model with the idea that base mobile phone should have basic functions and additional functions can be separated, surely be connected when users want.

Ultra-precision positioning systems basically require high natural frequency and sufficient workspace. To cope with this requirement, flexure hinge mechanisms have been developed. However, previous designs are difficult to satisfy the functional requirements of the system due to difficulty in modeling and optimization process applying fur the independent axiomatic design. Therefore, this paper suggests a new design and design procedure based on semi-coupled, axiomatic design. A spatial 3-DOF parallel type micro mechanism is chosen aa an exemplary device. Based on preliminary kinematic analysis and dynamic modeling of the system, an optimum design is conducted. To check the effectiveness of the optimal parameters obtained by theoretical approach, simulation has been performed by FEM.
