The objective of this study is to simulate the etching characteristics under different process parameters for the optimization of etching process. The etching characteristics such as the etching factor were investigated under different operating conditions and compared with the spray characteristics. The spray characteristics were measured by using Phase Doppler Anemometer. The correlation between the etching characteristics and the spray characteristics was analyzed to simulate the etching characteristics under the actual parameters of the etching process. The parameters were distance of nozzle tip and pipe pitch. To improve the uniformity and value of etching factor in the etching process, the process parameters should be designed optimally. The distribution of spray was simulated by the Monte-Carlo Method and the process parameters were optimized by the design of experiments(DOE).

Recently, ULSAB(Ultra Light Steel Auto Body) concept is getting more attention due to various benefits in automotive body design. One of the ULSAB efforts is making a door with TWB(Tailor Welded Blanks). In TWB, two or more patches of steel panels are welded together before stamping process. In this research, domains and thicknesses of the patches in a front door structure are determined by a series of optimization schemes composed of topology, size and shape optimization and DOE(Design of Experiments) scheme. A door is designed to have better performances compared to exiting structure considering static stiffness and natural frequency. The final design is discussed and compared to the existing design.

This paper presents a design optimization for meridional profile and blade angle ${\theta}$ of a centrifugal compressor with DOE (design of experiments) and RSM (response surface method). Control points of the $3^{rd}$ order Bezier curve are used for design parameters and specific overall efficiency is used as object function. The response surface function shows good agreement with the 3D computational results. Three different optimized designs are proposed and compared with reference design at design point and off-design point. Contours of relative Mach number, static entropy, and total pressure are analyzed for improvement of performance by optimization. Off-design performance analysis is conducted by total pressure and efficiency.

We presented design methodology of constant velocity joint for passenger cars using design of experiment. On the basis of contact normal stress of internal components of constant velocity joints, we performed a sensitivity analysis of several design parameters. And then we performed robust design and optimization design process. As a result, we could find robust design and also propose the optimized design. Presented design process would be very helpful for engineers who are suffer for new constant velocity joint design.

As the time goes by, the energy use in buildings are increasing threateningly. So, it is important to have an accurate energy load calculation for buildings. The accurate energy simulation program carries numerous input data. So, our purpose of this study is to verify the application of simplify modeling method which eliminates coordinates of building components instead of using full coordinates by using DOE2. After comparing original modeling method with simplify modeling method, we applied PAF for daylighting control in the building to verify the application of daylighting control in simplify modeling method. The results shows that there are little difference between original modeling and simplify modeling. Also it showed that application of daylighting control has little difference between original modeling so it is feasible to adapt simplify modeling. These results reveals that the application of simplify modeling is possible to predict energy load and use of the building.

An optimization process was developed to improve mixed-flow pump performance. The optimization process was combined with CFX (a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code) and HEEDS (an optimization code). CFX is a widely used CFD software for turbo machinery, whereas HEEDS, which uses the SHERPA algorithm, is a newly introduced optimization code. HEEDS can use a large number of optimization variables; thus, it is possible to effectively consider interaction effects. In this paper, an impeller model, which is already optimized with design of experiments (DOE), is used as the base model. The optimization process developed in this paper shows an improved design within an acceptable timeframe.

Generally, the frame design of a vehicle is a critical technology that plays an important role in the racing and high performance sports car market. The high performance of race car frame means that it requires high torsional stiffness because it directly affects the cornering behavior of the race car. The optimal design for the frame of a low-cost single seat race car was carried out using the DOE (Design Of Experiments) with Taguchi's orthogonal array and FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis to secure sufficient torsional stiffness in this paper. According to the results by DOE and FEM analysis, the optimal design case produced improved 10.7% and 14.5% improvement in each stiffness-to-weight ratio and frame weight than in the early design step. Therefore, this paper shows that the optimal design with Taguchi's orthogonal array is very useful and effective for designing a tubular space frame of a low-cost single seat race car in the early design step.

본 논문에서는 한 중소기업을 상대로 진행된 게이트 도장 품질 개선을 위한 6시그마 프로젝트 과정을 소개한다. 프로젝트는 6시그마 개선활동의 로드맵인 DMAIC 절차를 따라 진행하였다. 먼저 Define 단계에서는 고객요구사항 파악을 위해 VOC 기법을 활용하여 CTQ를 선정하였다. Measure 단계에서는 프로세스 맵, 특성요인도, XY 매트릭스, FMEA등을 이용하여 주요 인자들을 규명하였다. Analyze 단계에서는 상관분석, ANOVA, 그래프 분석 등 각종 통계적 기법을 활용해 핵심입력변수인 'Vital Few's'를 규명한 후, Improve 단계에서 DOE를 통한 최적조건을 도출하였다. 또한 Control 단계에서는 최적조건을 유지하기 위한 관리계획 및 실수방지, 표준화 기법을 도입하였다. 이러한 개선 활동을 통해 개선 전 2.957 시그마 수준의 품질을 3.66 시그마 수준까지 높일 수 있었으며, 6천 3백만원의 비용절감을 할 수 있었다. 또한 본 논문에서는 중소기업에서의 프로젝트 진행의 문제점을 제시하였고, 그 해결방안에 대해서도 논하고자 한다.
