Injection mold is a manufacturing process used to produce the various parts of complicated shape at a low cost. Many factors such as, section shape, resin and mold temperature, filling time, etc, affect on the quality of injection part during injection molding process. The precent study, was carried out the shrinkage analysis of shoes injection mold to optimize runner shape based on filling and packing pressure with MoldFlow. Taguchi design and analysis of variance are used to optimize injection mold design.

우리나라는 신발 생산 특히 부품소재 부분에서 세계적인 경쟁력을 갖추고 있는 것으로 평가되고 있으며, 이 중 E.V.A midsole은 가볍고 충격흡수성 등과 같은 특성이 매우 우수하여 샌달의 midsole 부품으로 널리 사용되고 있지만 현재의 midsole 제조방식은 생산성의 한계에 직면하고 있다. 즉, 패턴 갑피(upper)와 Phylon mold를 각각 생산한 후 별도의 공정에서 두 제품을 접착하여 샌달을 만들기 때문에 두 제품을 따로 생산하므로 현재와 같은 방식의 제조에 의한 기존 방식의 샌달은 제작비용의 증가 및 생산성 저하 등의 여러 가지 문제점을 가지고 있어 보다 새로운 일체형 자동화 사출 mold에 의한 샌달 제조방식의 필요성이 절실한 실정에 있다.(중략)

Wind guide can be installed on the top of buildings to collect wind. In this study, optimum shape of wind guide is developed, and proposed to combinate with the vertical wind turbine. Impact of parameters for wind guide is analyzed with several cases planned by Taguchi test plan. Front angle, rear angle, and roof angle are selected as key variables and changed into four different levels. By the experimental plan, totally, 64 cases are reduced to 16 cases of analysis. With optimum design of wind guide, the installed vertical axis wind turbines can be operated with maximum power output.

The drum clutch investigated in this study is formed in 5 forming steps, which are 1st deep drawing, 2nd deep drawing, restriking, embossing, and $Grob^{TM}$ processes. Dimensional accuracy of the final products greatly depends upon how much more accurate pre-form is manufactured in the previous forming processes before the $Grob^{TM}$ process. The deep drawing, restriking and embossing processes in which the pre-form is formed are very important and decisive steps. Thus in some cases, excessive strain by these operations causes dimensional inaccuracy and cracks initiated from the base and wall of the product. Process variables such as the punch shapes both of 1st and 2nd deep drawing, and punch angle were selected to evaluate the deformation characteristics. The optimum parameters were determined from forming simulations using commercial FEM codes, DEFORM and Tauchi method, specifically developed for metal forming simulation. Finally, experiments for the whole drum clutch forming processes were carried out to verify the optimized forming parameters and the analytical results.

In this study, we analyze the static and dynamic characteristics of a bulk-cement trailer with a simpler structure that carries powders. The commercial software ANSYS is used to prepare a detailed three-dimensional model of the chassis frame and tank body that bear most of the load of a bulk-cement trailer for the finite element analysis. Modal analysis is conducted to examine the dynamic characteristics of the trailer body, and static analysis shows weak links in the structure. Finally, we propose a method to increase the strength of vulnerable areas and to reduce the weight of the trailer by applying the Taguchi method.

The rear center-hinge bracket is designed for supporting and folding the rear-seat backrest. This bracket needs to be strong enough to be able to rigidly hold the rear-seat backrest and to withstand luggage loads from the car trunk that are generated when a vehicle is driving on the roads. Particularly, current accident studies report that many serious occupant injuries occurred when the rear-seat back easily folded inward toward the car interior, driven by the luggage loads in the trunk. Given this fact, the robust design of the rear center-hinge bracket that mainly supports the rear backrest has become more important for providing customer safety and preventing high warranty and durability problems. However, none of the studies have emphasized its significant role and considered its robust optimization. Therefore, this paper presents how the hinge-bracket design is optimized based on an application of the finite-element method coupled with the parameter design using Taguchi's design experiment. Finally, Taguchi method's application optimizes a robust center-hinge bracket that shows more rigid performance although it has lighter weight and thinner thickness.

This papper is concerned with robust design of a linear DC motor which is steading fast in OA and FA systems due to simplicity in structure high-speed operation and high-precision positioning. The approach is based on the Taguchi method and utilizes the orthogonal way for design of experiments. In this study, first, the important factors are chosen at first. and then the concept of signal-to-nose(S/N) ratio is allied to evaluate the motor performance and each value of the design parameters is determined. This method is useful to robust design in a short time. As a result, the performance of the motor is improved.

Not only the emission regulation of on-road vehicle engine, but also emission regulation of off-road engine have been reinforced. It is the reason of wide application of emission reduction technology for off-road engines. In this study, optimization of engine parameters (Injector hole number, Injection timing and EGR rate) for reduction of NOx and smoke emissions were conducted by using the analysis of sensitivity and S/N ratio of Taguchi method(DOE). As results, this paper shows optimum value of the parameters for NOx and smoke emission reduction. From the result of reproducibility verification, it is final that the prediction value of NOx and smoke has the error of below 10%. Consequently, the method and results of this study will be used for quantitative reference to EGR control mapping in next study.

An automated mechanical parking system with a dedicated multi-floor building has been studied for improvements. Among the major components of the system, study is focused on the trolly which is the most important to the overall reliability of the system. The trolley holds and moves a parked vehicle horizontally into a specified position for the next sequence of operations. Optimization of a trolly structure is presented for strength and simplicity. With optimization, the weight has been reduced by 30% with respect to the conventional design.

In this study, the prediction on the quality of tools after coating process has been investigated. Under different coating conditions, cutting resistances have been obtained and analyzed with a tool dynamometer to provide optimized coating conditions. The optimized coating condition has been computed with the most effective factors found by S/N ratio of Taguchi method. To evaluate the influence of the factors on cutting efficiency through the minimum of number of experiment times, the way of neural network design using Taguchi method has been employed.
