Viscous-driven pumping is a very promising type in microscale applications. However, there exist a few disadvantages such as low efficiency and small volume flow rate. In the present study, a pump with tandem rotating cylinders and its optimum synthesis are proposed fur enhancing pumping performance. First, using an unstructured grid CFD method, we investigate the effects of geometrical parameters and then the performance of the pump with tandem cylinders is evaluated. Next, an optimum design synthesis tool is constructed by combining the aforementioned CFD analysis model with the mathematical optimization model, namely, Modified Method of Feasible Directions (MMFD). This technique is used to optimize the geometrical parameters of the pump, fur maximizing pumping efficiency. From the optimization results, it is believed that the present optimum synthesis is robust and has a potential fur other microfluidic device design.

During the design phase of a product, reliability and design engineers are called upon to evaluate the reliability of the system, The question of how to meet target reliability for the system arises when estimated reliability or cost is inadequate. This then becomes a problem of reliability allocation and system structure design. This study proposes the optimization methodology to achieve target reliability with minimum cost through construction of the cost function of system. In cost function, total cost means the sum of initial cost, repair cost and maintenance cost. This study constructs optimization problem about system structure design and reliability allocation using cost function. This problem constructed is solved by Multi-island Genetic Algorithm(MIGA), and applies to urban transit brake system. Current brake system of the urban transit is series system. Series system is the simplest and perhaps one of the most common system, but it demands high reliability and maintenance cost because all components must be operating to ensure system operation. Thus this study makes a comparative study by applying k-out-of-n system to brake system. This methodology presented can be a great tool for aiding reliability and design engineers in their decision-makings.

다구찌는 파라미터 설계에서 설계인자의 최적조건을 구하는데 필요한 수행측도로서 신호대 잡음비를 이용하여 자료 분석을 하였다. 다구찌 품질공학은 품질을 개선하는데 있어서 큰 기여를 하였으나 자료 분석하는데 있어서 망목특성에서의 신호대 잡음비의 사용은 많은 문제점이 지적되었고 여러 학자들에 의하여 대체방안 연구되었다. 제품의 설계단계에서 품질특성과 여러 개의 설계인자와의 관계는 복잡한 비선형 형태를 가지는 경우가 대부분이다. 신경망은 유연한 모형 선택과 학습능력은 알수 없는 복잡한 비선형 형태를 파악하는데 아주 유용한 도구이다. 본 논문은 파라미터 설계에서 설계인자의 최적조건을 찾는데 있어서 문제가 되는 신호대 잡음비을 사용하지 않고 신경망을 이용한 최적화 방안을 제안하고자 한다. 아울러 예제를 들어 기존의 다구찌 방법과 새로이 제안한 대체방안을 비교하고자 한다.

The large injection molded parts technology such as instrument panel, front and rear bumper are presented for a precision molding. Some lead time and cost are required to product these part from design to mass product. Recently, CAE is widely used in product design, mold design and analysis of molding conditions to reduce time and cost. The optimal molding conditions can be obtained by DOE(Design of Experiment). The optimal design applications with CAE and DOE have been used in small molded parts. However, application to the large molded body is not reported. In this paper, optimization of injection molding process is studied for quality control in mass production of automobile bumper. Mold temperature difference is chosen through robust design of injection molding process, the molding process being optimized in term of shrinkage and deflection. The optimal conditions through DOE are validated by using injection molding analysis.

In this paper, we study the optimal design for improved rotation latch system performance. The factors affecting the Torque generated in the armature were chosen as design variables. Utilizing the vertical matrix, the orthogonal array table was created to predict the results through minimal analysis. To confirm the Torque generation amount, by utilizing the commercial electromagnetic analysis software MAXWELL, finite element analysis was performed. The approximation method and experimental design through the commercial PIDO tool PIAnO for optimal design and calculations were utilized to perform experiments using an optimization method with evolutionary algorithms. Using the approximation model, design factors were determined that can maximize the torque generated in the armature, and the simulation was performed.

Through a series of analyses of specific structures it is shown that incremental collapse may be the critical design criterion and that shakedown analysis can be used as a design tool. Using shakedown analysis technique, a nonlinear structural optimization program has been developed. This incorporates : (ⅰ) design constraints on elastic stresses and deflections ; (ⅱ) constraints for the prevention of incremental collapse and soft story failure ; and (ⅲ) the constraint on the fundamental period of structure. A five-step design procedure is proposed by using this program to obtain the optimum design that satisfies all the requirements of comprehensive earthquake-resistant design.

Energy simulation tools can provide information on the amount of heat transfer through building envelope components, which are considered the main sources of heat loss in buildings. Therefore, it is important to improve the quality of outputs from energy simulation tools and also the process of obtaining them. In this paper, a new Building Energy Performance Assessment Tool (BEPAT) is introduced, which provides users with granular data related to heat transfer through every single wall, window, door, roof, and floor in a building and automatically saves all the related data in text files. This information can be used to identify the envelope components for thermal improvement through energy retrofit or during the design phase. The generated data can also be adopted in the design of energy smart homes, building design tools, and energy retrofit tools as a supplementary dataset. BEPAT is developed by modifying EnergyPlus source code as the energy simulation engine using C++, which only requires Input Data File (IDF) and weather file to perform the energy simulation and automatically provide detailed output. To validate the BEPAT results, a computer model is developed in Revit for use in BEPAT. Validating BEPAT's output with EnergyPlus "advanced output" shows a difference of less than 2% and thus establishing the capability of this tool to facilitate the provision of detailed output on the quantity of heat transfer through walls, fenestrations, roofs, and floors.

Transplanting accuracy of a rice transplanter mainly depends on the trajectory of the hoe for picking, conveying and transplanting of seedlings as well as the return motion. The trajectory can be decided and prescribed to be suitable in treating seedlings fur a prevailing soil condition. For the purpose of the transplanting accuracy, the design of a transplanting mechanism would be carried out using a planetary-gear-train system instead of the four bar linkage system. In this study, a design method of transplanting mechanism is theoretically proposed by synthesizing a noncircular planetary-gear-train system fur the tool (hoe) to trace a prescribed trajectory. The method utilizes an optimization approach to decide the lengths of an arm and a tool, the inverse kinematics to figure out the configuration angles of the two links, the roll contact condition in transmitting motion between the gears, and a linearization approach to obtain the shapes of the gears. Based on the proposed method, the shapes of the gears and the lengths of the tools of the planetary-gear-train system are determined fur three prescribed trajectories. A kinematical simulation with a commercialized package program is also carried out to confirm that the gear-train system synthesized with the proposed method is able to trace the prescribed trajectory.

The vertical lathe is a very popular machine tool in modem manufacturing industries because of its small area of installation. The small installation area is highly desirable for the flexibility improvement of the manufacturing systems such as FMS, CIM, and IMS. The vertical lathe, however, has much taller height compared to the traditional horizontal lathe, and consequently more severe vibrations. In this study, the structure of a vertical lathe is analyzed to investigate the dynamic properties and further to establish some ideas of the design alteration for the improved dynamic stability even at the higher operating speed. The simulation model is implemented to apply those design alterations for the optimization. The result of this study is not only prosperous but also ready to be applied to the optimum design of various machine tool structures for the improved stability.
