인공위성용 추진제 탱크를 개발하기 위해 여러 설계인자를 설정하여 각 인자가 탱크벽면에 미치는 응력분포 영향을 구하고, 또한 최적의 인자 값을 구하기 위해 각 인자의 변화에 따라서 구조해석을 수행하였다. 탱크 지지부 위치와 탱크 벽면 두께 변화에 따른 탱크 벽면에 미치는 응력분포 영향을 고찰하기 위해 1/4 모델을 설정하였고, 연료배출구의 위치변화(경사각돈)에 따른 응력분포는 1/2 모델을 설정하여 해석을 하였다. 탱크에 작용하는 하중은 연료압력에 의해 발생하는 정하중(350 psi)을 가하며 또한, 발사 시 발사체로부터 전달되는 최대동하중(llg)을 고려하였다. 그리고, 탱크가 인공위성에 장착될 때에 발생하는 다양한 장착조건에 대해서 구조해석을 수행하였고, 추진제 배출구 각도가 $0^{\circ}$ 에서 $25^{\circ}C$까지 변화할 때 탱크 벽면에 미치는 응력분포 영향을 구했다. 그래서 각 조건에서 구한 상당응력분포와 인자의 최적 값은 추진제 탱크를 설계하기 위한 기초적인 자료로 활용하고자 한다.

Taguchi has used the signal-to-noise ratio (SN) to achieve the appropriate set of operating conditions where variability around target is low in the Taguchi parameter design. Many Statisticians criticize the Taguchi techniques of analysis, particularly those based on the SN. Moreover, there are difficulties in practical application, such as complexity and nonlinear relationships among quality characteristics and design (control) factors, and interactions occurred among control factors. Neural networks have a learning capability and model free characteristics. There characteristics support neural networks as a competitive tool in processing multivariable input-output implementation. In this paper we propose a substantially simpler optimization procedure for parameter design using neural network without resorting to SN. An example is illustrated to compare the difference between the Taguchi method and neural network method.

This paper proposes a hydrophone array design optimization technique for cavitation tunnel noise measurements. The optimization technique comprises of design parameters, an objective function and an optimization algorithm. The design parameters are defined for circular, spiral and multi-spiral arrays. The objective function is defined so as to consider the mainlobe beamwidth and the maximum sidelobe level simultaneously. A global optimization scheme is applied to the array design using very fast simulated reannealing (VFSR). After applying the optimization technique to arrays respectively, the peak sidelobe level and the mainlobe beamwidth of optimum arrays are analyzed. Finally the array patterns considering multiple reflections in the cavitation tunnel are evaluated to validate the proposed method.

In this study, optimal design methods were applied to the agent discharge flow of clean agent fire extinguishing systems. The methods combined optimal design theory and engineering theory for engineering analysis in a design program or coast savings in value engineering. Optimal design parameters were determined to optimize the agent discharge flow based on the design theory of the clean agent fire extinguishing systems and the theory of optimal design. The design factors were verified in regard to suitability for the performance of fire extinguishing systems. The results provide a foundation for optimal design method methods in other fire extinguishing systems. Optimization of the agent discharge flow of the discharge nozzle was confirmed by the constraints on the inner diameter of the discharge nozzle and the pipe, agent arrival time, flow, and pressure variation of the agent. The deviation of discharge pressure and agent time of the agent discharge nozzle were found to correlate with the pressure variation.

Optimal shape of a typical ramjet intake is examined numerically to maximize the total pressure recovery. A response surface method is introduced to approximately predict its performance with respect to the design parameters over the each design domain. The first deflection angle of ramp, the area of inlet throat, and the diffuser angle are chosen as a design parameter. ANOVA is used to verify the trustability of the achieved response surface. The total pressure recovery of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, is increased by 36%. The loss of viscosity through the diffuser is estimated less than 5%.

Recently, along with technology development of endoscopic equipment, a stent has been developed for the convenience of operation, shortening of recovery times, and reduction of patient's pain. To this end, optimal factors are simulated for the stent structure and mechanical reaction and verified using finite element analysis. In order to compare to present commercialized product such as Zilver (Cook, Bloomington, Indiana, USA) and S.M.A.R.T (Cordis, Bridgewater Towsnhip, New Jersey, USA), mechanical impact factors were determined through Taguchi factor analysis, and flexibility and expandability of all the products including ours were tested using finite element analysis. Also, important factors were sought that fulfill the optimal condition using central composition method of response surface analysis, and optimal design were carried out based on the important factors. From the centra composition method of Response surface analysis, it is found that importat factors for flexibility is stent thickness (T) and unit area (W) and those for expandability is stent thickness (T). In results, important factors for optimum condition are 0.17 mm for stent thickness (T) and $0.09\;mm^2$ for unit area (W). Determined and verified by finite element analysis in out research institute, a stent was manufactured and tested with the results of better flexibility and expandability in optimal condition compared to other products. Recently, As Finite element analysis stent mechanical property assessment for research much proceed. But time and reduce expenses research rarely stent of optimum coditions. In this research, Important factor as mechanical impact factor stent Taguchi factor analysis arrangement to find flexibility with expansibility as Finite element analysis. Also, Using to Center composition method of Response surface method appropriate optimized condition searching for important factor, these considering had design optimized. Production stent time and reduce expenses was able to do the more coincide with optimum conditions. These kind of things as application plan industry of stent development period of time and reduce expenses etc. be of help to many economic development.

The performance of a system can be affected by the variance of noise factors, which arise owing to uncertainties of the material properties and environmental factors acting on the system. For robust design optimization of the system performance, it is necessary to minimize the effect of the variance of the noise factors that are impossible to control. However, present robust design techniques consider the variation of design factors, and not the noise factors, as being important. Furthermore, it is necessary to assume a normal distribution; however, a normal distribution is often not suitable to estimate the variations. In this study, a robust design technique is proposed to consider the variation of noise factors that are estimated as non-normal distributions in a real experiment. As an example of an engineering problem, a deep-sea manganese nodule miner tracked vehicle is used to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.

Recently, fuel consumption efficiency has become the most important issue in the vehicle development process due to the problem of environmental pollution. The air flow patterns of the vehicle body line and rear part are the most important elements affecting the fuel consumption efficiency. Especially, the airflow pattern of the vehicle rear part is the most important design factor to be considered in rear spoiler design. In this paper, the control factors affecting the airflow of the rear spoiler are determined, the airflow sensitivity of these control factors are tested and, then, the optimized control factors to reduce the airflow drag force are proposed. The model of optimized control factors is tested and the values of the optimized control factors are changed by analyzing the S/N ratio and mean value. Finally, the new modified model incorporating the optimized control factors is tested in an air flow tunnel and its ability to decrease the air drag and reduce the cost is verified.
