This paper represents a systematic approach aimed at improving the performance of the proportional integral (PI) controller for the Advanced Power Reactor (APR) 1400 Feedwater Control System (FWCS). When the performance of the PI controller offers superior control and enhanced robustness, the steam generator (SG) level is properly controlled. This leads to the safe operation and increased the availability of the nuclear power plant. In this paper, a systems engineering approach is used in order to design a novel PI controller for the FWCS. In the reverse engineering stage, the existing FWCS configuration, especially the characteristics of the feedwater controller as well as the feedwater flow path to each SG from the FWCS, were reviewed and analysed. The overall block diagram of the FWCS and the SG was also developed in the reverse engineering process. In the re-engineering stage, the actual design of the feedwater PI controller was carried out using a genetic algorithm (GA). Lastly, in the validation and verification phase, the existing PI controller and the PI controller designed using GA method were simulated in Simulink/Matlab. From the simulation results, the GA-PI controller was found to exhibit greater stability than the current controller of the FWCS.

The article presents a systematic approach to design of marine navigation channels parameters resulting from manoeuvring and operational safety. Relations between the parameters of waterway system elements and the conditions of safe ship operation have been determined and the objective function of waterway parameters' optimization problems has been minimized with respect to variables of construction and operation costs. These costs have been functionally associated to variables of channel width at the bottom and fairway depth. The method of fairway's width computation at specified safe depth at the preliminary and detailed stages of waterway design has been proposed. The results of this method application have been illustrated with two examples: 1. The modernization of Szczecin-Swinoujscie fairway aimed at accepting vessels of 60,000 DWT capacity. 2. Construction of an approach channel leading to a newly built container terminal in Swinoujscie harbour (Poland), handling ocean-going container ships of 20,000 TEU capacity.

This paper presents a conceptual approach to convert customer requirements expressed in ordinary language into a form of qualitative and quantitative functions for developing new products. This approach attempts to combine the concepts of the value engineering and the Kansei engineering. It emphasizes that customer require- ments should be interpreted and reflected on the design of new product. Specific are discussed for extracting subjective requirements and transforming them into qualitative and quantitative functions for product design. This approach is expected to provide the product designer with a systematic efficient tool for incorporating subjective requirements into a product design.

A systematic design for asymmetric coupled-section Marchand baluns is presented. Asymmetrically coupled transmission lines in multilayer configuration are exploited for constructing Marchand baluns. Design equations for characteristic impedance and electrical length of asymmetrical coupled transmission lines are derived for establishing a systematic design procedure. Novel Marchand balun based on these design equations is composed of two identical asymmetrical coupled transmission lines. However, contrary to the general conventional design approach where ranges for characteristic impedances of coupled lines are ambiguously capitalized, values for characteristic impedance and length are explicitly expressed. Our approach is fundamentally different from the design method using coupling coefficients where solution for coupling coefficient is inherently restricted. To verify the proposed method, one design example is performed for wideband Marchand balun in multilayer configuration, and is fabricated for verifying the design procedure proposed. Maintaining the return loss more than 10 dB, the bandwidth is measured from 0.43 to 1.0 GHz, where $S_{21}$ and $S_{31}$ show better than -4 dB. The measured phase and amplitude imbalances illustrate 0.5 dB and ${\pm}5^{\circ}$, respectively.

본 연구는 상용 제품인 골프공디스펜서의 공학설계를 주제로 하는 기계공학 교과목 개발 및 운영 사례를 제시하고 있다. 교과목은 김종원과 W. Beitz가 제안한 체계적인 공학설계 방법에 따라 수행되었다. 이 방법은 공학설계를 크게 '제품기획 → 개념설계 → 기본설계 → 상세설계'의 4단계로 나누고 있으며, 특히 개념설계 단계를 '기능구조도→세부기능에 대한 동작원리 탐색 → 다양한 설계대안 창안 → 최적설계대안 선정'으로 구분한다. 개념설계에서는 골프공디스펜서의 입출력을 정의하고 이에 대한 기능구조도를 작성한다. 이 과정을 통해 제품의 기능을 세분화하고 각각의 동작원리를 체계적으로 탐색할 수 있다. 또한 다양한 동작원리를 조합하고 이를 평가하여 최적설계대안을 도출한다. 기본설계에서는 고장모드 분석을 통해 시제품 레이아웃을 완성하고 이를 활용하여 실제 시제품을 제작하고 성능을 평가한다. 이상과 같은 과정을 통해서 수업에 참여한 학생은 상용제품을 체계적인 방법으로 설계해보고 시작품까지 제작해보는 경험을 기계공학과 교육과정 내에서 해볼 수 있을 것이다.

A systematic approach for the design of two-stage class AB CMOS unity-gain buffers is proposed. It is based on the inclusion of a class AB operation to class A Miller amplifier topologies in unity-gain negative feedback by a simple technique that does not modify quiescent currents, supply requirements, noise performance, or static power. Three design examples are fabricated in a 0.5 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process. Measurement results show slew rate improvement factors of approximately 100 for the class AB buffers versus their class A counterparts for the same quiescent power consumption (< 200 ${\mu}W$).

It is well known that mobile phones have been a indispensable communication tool for human life. The spiral springs are used as the main component of the semi-auto sliding mechanism of mobile phones. The characteristic of axiomatic approach is scientific and analytical method, and axiomatic approach is different from other design methods in offering the systematic method at an early stage of design. The axiomatic approach could determine design parameter and arrange the order of design and estimate the optimum design in good order. In axiomatic approach, the composition is divided by customer requirement, functional requirement, design parameter, and design matrix in large portion. This paper presents design in sliding mechanism for mobile phones by finite element method and axiomatic design.

건설프로젝트에서 설계VE는 그 적용효과가 크므로 체계적 절차에 따른 분석이 요구되며, 그 중 가장 중요한 부분은 우수한 아이디어를 창출하기 위한 창조 단계이다. 하지만 현행 아이디어 창출 방법인 브레인스토밍, 델파이 등을 비롯한 기법들은 아이디어 창출에 많은 시간이 소요되고 우수한 아이디어를 고안한다는 것이 쉽지가 않다. 이는 설계VE에 참가하는 대부분의 전문가들이 아이디 어 창출의 효율성이 떨어지는 방법으로 접근하는데 그 원인이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 VE의 효율적 수행을 위한 방법으로 창의적 아이디어 발상기법인 ASIT(Advanced Systematic Inventive Thinking) 적용을 제안하고자 한다. ASIT는 아이디어 고안을 체계적 절차에 따라 수행하도록 지원하여 단기간에 효과적 아이디어를 창출하는데 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

The paper aims at presenting a systematic approach process and a method of requirement validation and system verification. Validation is applied during concept development to ensure conceptual validity, requirements validity, and design validity. Verification work is applied subsequent to the design work on test articles and early production items to produce evidence that the design solutions do, in fact, satisfy th requirements. In this paper, we present a requirements validation model and a system verification model. This models are applied to the development of TTX(Tilting Train Express)system with systems engineering tool, CORE.

The automatic seismic trip system (ASTS) continuously monitors PGA (peak ground acceleration) from the seismic wave, and automatically generates a trip signal. This work presents how the system can be designed by using a systems engineering approach under the given regulatory criteria. Overall design stages, from the needs analysis to design verification, have been executed under the defined processes and activities. Moreover, this work contributes two significant design areas for digitalized ASTS. These are firstly, how to categorize the ASTS if the ASTS has a backed up function of the manual reactor trip, and secondly, how to set the requirements using the given design practices either in overseas ASTS design or similar design. In addition, the methodology for determining the setpoint can be applied to the I&C design and development project which needs to justify the error sources correctly. The systematic approach that has been developed and realized in this work can be utilized in designing new I&C (instrument and control system) as well.
