  • Design is an iterative, generative, and multidisciplinary process by its nature. Iteration is frequent in most of the engineering design and development projects including construction. Design iterations cause rework, and extra efforts are required to get the optimal sequence and to manage the projects. Contrary to simple design, isolation of the generative iterations in complex design systems is very difficult, but reduction in overall iterations is possible. Design depends upon the information flow within domain and also among various design disciplines and organizations. Therefore, it is suggested that managers should be aware about the crucial iterations causing rework and optimal sequence as well. In this way, managers can handle design parameters related to such iterations proactively. Numbers of techniques are available to reduce iterations for various kinds of engineering designs. In this paper, parameter based Design Structure Matrix (DSM) is chosen. To create this DSM, a survey was performed and then partitioned using a model. This paper provides an easy approach to those companies involved in or intend to be involved in "design and build projects."

  • Nuclear power plant is a huge system with multidisciplinary technology. So, R & D prioritization is a not a simple task and the relative importance of each prioritization criterion is not well established. This study built a technology classification chart for nuclear power plant operation and maintenace, established the relative importance of prioritization criteria and assigned the relative importance of each technology at each level. Analytical Hierarchy Process was used for the prioritization and the result was validated with Consistency Index and outcomes of fields interview.

  • The present study investigates turbulent flows subject to strong wall injection in a channel through a Direct Numerical Simulation technique. These flows are pertinent to internal flows inside the hybrid rocket motors. A simplified model problem where a regression process at the wall is idealized by the wall blowing has been studied to gain a better understanding of how the near-wall turbulent structures are modified. As the strength of wall blowing increases, the turbulence intensities and Reynolds shear stress increase rapidly and this is thought to result from the shear instability induced by the injected flows at the wall. Also, turbulent viscosity grows rapidly as the flow moves downstream. Thus, the effect of wall-blowing modifies the state of turbulence significantly and more sophisticated turbulence modeling would be required to predict this type of flows accurately.

  • The developed concept of smart flow control based on turbulence scale modification was applied to control a flow around a circular cylinder. The concept was realized using arrays of vortex-generators regularly spaced along a cylinder generatrix with a given step. Mechanical and thermal vortex-generators were tested, the latter having been based on the localized surface heating or plasma discharges initiated with microwave radiation near the surface. Thus depending on a particular engineering solution, flow transport properties could be modified in passive or active ways. Matched numerical and experimental investigations showed a possibility to delay flow separation and, accordingly, to improve the aerodynamic performance of blunt bodies.

  • 제품설계에 관련된 다양한 공학해석분야, 즉 구조해석, 동역학, 열ㆍ유체ㆍ유동해석, 제어, 전자기장해석 등을 동시에 고려하면서 최적의 설계를 결정하는 것을 다분야통합최적설계(Multidisciplinary Design Optimization: MDO) 기술이라 한다. MDO 프레임적 (framework)은 최적화기술, 컴퓨팅기반구조기술, 통합설계기술이 유기적으로 구현된 소프트웨어 복합체계로서, 분산컴퓨팅 기반구조를 통하며 MDO요소 기술들과 기존의 CAD/CAE 도구들을 연계하여 설계 작업을 통합적으로 관리하고 자동화한다. MDO 프레임칙은 이러한 자동화된 통합관리를 통하여 설계도구 간의 데이터 전달과 변환에 소요되는 설계자의 부담을 경감시키며 다분야 전문가가 참여하는 공통 작업 환경을 제공함으로써 설계 효율성을 증진시킨다. 이 글에서는 현재 최적설계신기술연구센터 (iDOT)에서 개발 중인 MDO 프레임웍인 EMDIOS를 소개하기로 한다.

  • An integrated multi-disciplinary design system plays a critical role in the preliminary design of an aircraft. In this paper such system is developed for the multi-disciplinary computation and design; aerodynamics elasticity, and radio frequency stealth. Common data base of geometry and structured grids is generated and used for aerodynamic, structural and eletromagnetics analysis. The Navier-Stokes CFD, FEM, and CEM technique are used for aerodynamic, structural, and RF stealth computations respectively.

  • As an pretreatment, a Fe$(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O-Al(OH)_3$mixture was ground by a high energy mill and used as a supported catalyst for the growth of carbon nanotubes by a thermal CVD. The crystal structure of the catalyst disordered by the grinding influenced significantly the synthesis of carbon nanotubes in a thermal CVD.

  • As a very first step for theorizing shopping, this study attempted to diagnose the current of shopping research. Using the keyword of shopping from major academic databases in Korea, the study collected 560 research articles and analyzed patterns of: 1) research by year, journal, and academic area; 2) researchers by academic area; 3) keywords; and 4) research contents. Analyses showed that two thirds of articles in shopping were published after 2000. While the number of journals was the highest in business and engineering, the numbers of articles and researchers were the highest in business and apparel. The most frequently used included internet shopping mall, internet shopping, and shopping orientation. About 66% of shopping research was internet shopping related, and 80% was empirical study using individual consumers. Though shopping was studied as an individual consumer behavior, there were noticeable patterns in research contents by academic field. The study discussed such patterns and provided implications for multidisciplinary approaches for shopping theory and research.

  • The present study has focused on numerical investigation on the flame structure, flame lift-off and stabilization in the partially premixed turbulent lifted jet flames. Since the lifted jet flames have the partially premixed nature in the flow region between nozzle exit and flame base, level set approach is applied to simulate the partially premixed turbulent lifted jet flames for various fuel jet velocities and co-flow velocities. The flame stabilization mechanism and the flame structure near flame base are presented in detail. The predicted lift-off heights are compared with the measured ones.

  • The domain of contaminated groundwater flow is a broad and multidisciplinary field requiring expertise in engineering, geology, chmistry and toxicology, and is an ideal area for the application of Expert System. The Expert System which is developed in this research can assist user to find possible remedial actions in case that the groundwater was contaminated with toxic pollutants. Documentation including the degree of toxicity, the possibility of chemical reaction and concentration of pollutant can be supported also. Prolog, and artificial intelegence programming language, is used to implement the prototype expert system. This expert system can explicitly advise users about contaminants' toxicity, possiblity reaction with other chemicals and their concentrations.
