During crash of a vehicle, most of the kinetic energy of the driver is absorbed by the steering system. The deformation characteristics of the steering system has significant effects on the injury of the driver. A part of the energy is absorbed by the steering wheel and another part by the collapsable steering column. It is believed that strength distribution between the wheel and the column has an important effect on the injury of the driver. A design criterion is suggested for steering wheels for maximum protection of drivers. Tagushi method is used to analyse the effects of design parameters.

European side impact analysis of an electric vehicle was done using robust design. Locations and section properties of some of the vehicle structure components which influence the european side impact characteristics were chosen as the main factors for the robust design. Eight factors were considered for the analysis: one with two level and seven with three level combinations comprising the L18(21$\times$37) orthogonal array. It is shown that the sensitivities of the factors and the best combination of the factors can be obtained, and that the location of the main components were as much sensitive as the section properties of those. Also it is shown that the interactions were existed between some factors.

Processing parameters of filament winding were investigated by using design of experiment. To understand 4 main effects(fiber tension, impregnation pressure, processing rate, and temperature) and 3 interactions, $L_{27}(3^{13})$ orthogonal array table was adopted. The used materials were carbon fiber and epoxy resin. Split disk test and short-beam test, which are the general test methods for filament wound composite material, were selected as evaluation methods for a filament would part. The optimal processing parameters for the filament winding were easily found through the analysis of variance of the experimental results.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of factors on the dynamic stiffness variation of boring bar. The experiment was carried out by Taguchi Method and Orthogonal array table. The results indicate that overhang was found out to be dominant factor with 95% confident intervals and feed rate and depth of cut were insignificant. In addition, analysis of loss function shows that loss value increased sharply from 3D to 4D(D is a shank diameter). Consequently, there is critical point which changes property of dynamic stiffness.

The butterfly valve has been used to control the switch and flux of fluid. While research about the characteristics of butterfly valve fluid have been done, study of the optimum design, considering structural safety, must keep pace with it. Thus, a method is proposed for an optimum butterfly valve. Initially, the stability of the butterfly valve, using FEM and CFD, is evaluated, and a variable is selected using the initial analysis results. Also, the shape optimization design is accomplished using the DACE model. In terms of research results, the experiment satisfied the objective and limitation functions.

In recent years, the demand of a silent indoor air-conditioner is the essential research filed when the product is developed. In this study, through the design modification of the noise and vibration source, the noise and vibration level of the package air-conditioner is reduced. The modal analysis of the motor bracket is performed by FEM. To find the most suitable shape of the motor bracket, Design of Experiments is applied.

The peculiarity pointed out for high strength concrete is the occurrence of spalling during a fire. Recently, there are many efforts such as development of all types of spalling reducing materials and other innovative materials in various fields. Need is now to examine the adequate mixing proportions of these materials. This study intended to derive experimentally and statistically mix proportions that can represent the basic quality requirements as well as the optimal effects on the fire-resistance for 4 types of functional materials that are metakaolin, waste tire chip, polypropylene fiber and steel fiber. Here, the tests were planned through an optimal test method using an orthogonal array table with 4 parameters and 3 levels. The statistical analysis adopted the response surface analysis method. Results verified mutual complementary contribution between the materials when using a combination of the functional materials selected as parameters for the strengthening of the fire-resistance of 80 MPa-class high strength concrete. Besides, the optimal conditions of the fire-resistance strengthening materials derived through response surface analysis were a volumetric replacement of silica fume by 80% of metakaolin, a volumetric replacement of fine aggregates by 3% of tire waste chip, and an addition of 0.2% of the whole volume by polypropylene fiber without mixing of steel fiber. In such cases, the basic characteristics as well as the fire-resistant characteristics of high strength concrete were also satisfied.

Soilcrete has been a traditional material for pavement and soft ground improvement techniques. However, since the durability is not excellent and the quality is not consistent, it has not been used for various purposes up to date. However, with the increase of naturally oriented needs for light traffic roads such as pedestrian roads of garden, golf courses and sidewalks, the cases of the high strength soilcrete paving have been increased lately. This study aims at making a reference table of mix design in accordance with the required design specifications fur the high strength soilcrete admixtured with the pozzolanic cement by using a statistical experimental method. The treated soil is the clay which is widely found in Korea. As the results of this study, we could derive an effective reference mix design table for the clay treated with the pozzolanic cement stabilizer in accordance with the compressive strength of $50~150kg/cm^2$ soilcrete.

Bladeless fan is becoming increasingly popular owing to its advantages, such as improved safety, easy to clean, and attractive shape. However, many people are reluctant to purchase it because of several disadvantages, such as noise and moderate wind; therefore, research on how improve wind generation without increasing the motor speed is required. This study investigates the optimization of the shape of the nozzle and nearby surface using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation, ANSYS fluent. The results are analyzed by ANOM (analysis of mean) and interaction analysis; therefore this study suggests the variables of affecting Coanda effect and satisfy the govern equation, the conservation of momentum. The optimal combination was found through a predictive equation. In this study, factors and levels that affect the mass flow rate were selected and experimental points were arranged using the orthogonal array table. The value of the mass flow rate was confirmed by ANSYS fluent, which is a CFD program. Through the ANOM, it was confirmed that the nozzle distance is the most influential parameter affecting the mass flow rate. Furthermore, the mass flow rate obtained from the predictive equation and the mass flow rate from the CFD correspond to the largest values. Results from this study confirmed that the mass flow rate is increased by a change in the shape, even if the motor speed did not increase.

In this paper, we plan to design and manufacture a new sleeping child check system using image and PIR sensors. Therefore, it plans to implement a system that can prevent in-vehicle accidents that can occur due to presence of human and certain temperature inside the vehicle by collecting data from PIR sensors and temperature sensors with the main control device based on Arduino. In addition, the values of sensors can be linked with Bluetooth communication or Wi-Fi communication to send information to the mobile phone, and the sensor values can be printed by texting on the screen. It also plans to use raspberry pie and camera modules to build a display and smartphone streaming service inside the vehicle. Through this, the objective of this study is to prevent safety accidents in school vehicles by making experiments and research in this paper recognize 100% inside the vehicle with the quantitative goal of PIR sensors.
