This study uses a characteristic function to explain correlations between the objective function and design variables. For the use, structural analysis and buckling analysis are carried out. the dimensional change of an original overhead crane is made based on the table of orthogonal array. For two functions or more, the effectiveness of design change can be evaluated in accordance with change in design parameters. Also, the overhead crane's weight is reduced by up to 10.55 percent while its structural stability maintained.

Manufacturing condition is one of the most important factors in precision manufacturing. In this study, we optimized minimizing the Z vibration acceleration using RSM(response surface methodology) by table of orthogonal array. RSM was well adapted to make the analytical model of the minimum vibration acceleration and enable the objective function to be easily created and a great deal of the time in computation to be saved. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed optimization procedure using RSM can be easily utilized to solve the optimization problem of manufacture condition.

Processing parameters of filament winding were investigated by using design of experiment. To understand 4 main effects(fiber tension, impregnation pressure, processing rate, and temperature) and 3 interactions, $L_{27}(3^{13})$ orthogonal array table was adopted. The used materials were carbon fiber and epoxy resin. Split disk test and short-beam test, which are the general test methods for filament wound composite material, were selected as evaluation methods for a filament would part. The optimal processing parameters for the filament winding were easily found through the analysis of variance of the experimental results.

A new fuzzy logic control design algorithm suitable for multi-objective control problems is proposed based on the orthogonal array which is widely used for design of experiments in statistics and industrial engineering. The essence of the algorithm is to introduce Nth-certainty factor defined from the F-value of the ANOVA(analysis of variance) table, in order to effectively exclude the less confident rules. The proposed algorithm with multi-objective decision table(MODT) is found to be capable of the detection of inconsistency and the rule classification, reduction and modification. It is also shown that the algorithm can be successfully applied to the fuzzy controller design of an active magnetic bearing system.

Statistical optimum methodology of table of orthogonal array, ANOM, ANOVA and RSM are applied to formulate optimum allocation design with design variables. It can be minimized average SPL of control volume, the objective function in closed system by optimal allocated positions of absorbing material. Structural natural frequency and acoustic natural frequency of cavity are analyzed by FEM and BEM in the closed system. Using BEM, average SPL of specific control volume is calculated according to the condition before using absorbing material and after using it. It is shown that noise is reduced by $5.02dB_{RMS}$ by absorbing material located at optimal position and minimum $1.83dB_{RMS}$ and maximum $3.47dB_{RMS}$ by the table of orthogonal array.

Recently, the regulations from the govemment and the concems of the people give rise to the interest in exhaust noise of passenger car as much as other vehicles. The exact analysis of various mufflers is needed to reduce the level of exhaust noise. In this paper, we propose a design to improve the mufflers capacity by reducing noise of exhaust system combining Taguchi method and fractional factorial design. In order to measure the performance of a muffler, the performance prediction software which is developed by the Dept. of Automotive Engineering at Hanyang University is used. From the current muffler system we select control factors such as lenght and radius of each component that are thought to be effective on capacity of muffler. Factors are arranged using L18, L27 table of orthogonal array and the fractional factorial design for analysis. We find some significant interaction effects using 1/3 fractional factorial design and accomplish the reduction of noise from the muffler.

Thrust force of linear motor is one of the important factor to specify motor performance. In this study, we optimized maximizing the thrust force of TFLM(Transverse Flux Linear Motor) using Response Surface Methodology by the table of orthogonal way. The Response Surface Methodology was well adapted to make the analytical model of the maximum thrust force and enable the objective function to be easily created and a great deal of the time In computation to be saved. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed optimization procedure using the Response Surface Methodology can be easily utilized to solve the optimization problem of electric machine.

The superplastic forming/diffusion bonding(SPF/DB) is widely used in the automotive and aerospace industry because it has great advantage to produce complex, light and strong parts. But the superplastic forming process requires much forming time and generates excessive thinning in the thickness distribution of formed part. It is necessary to minimize trial and error for SPF/DB Process. Finite element analysis using $L_{18}$ orthogonal may table of Taguchi method for 3-Sheet D/B process is carried out. Through the study, effect of process parameters, such as DH region size, thickness and friction coefficient, is evaluated and the optimum condition is derived.

There are a lot of manholes such as for water supply, sewage, telecommunication cable, traffic sign, electricity supply, and rainwater, etc. Conventional manholes installed on a road are impossible to adjust height, so that they should be entirely excavated to reinstall or repair. This entire excavation of a manhole causes too much time-consuming work, waste of resources, and obstruction of traffic. In this study, in order to solve the above mentioned problems, a cover, outer and inner parts of a manhole are integrated by gear-shaped parts located between outer and inner parts of a manhole. Mechanical design is performed to determine dimension of gear-shaped parts by Taguchi orthogonal array table. Cast molds for a gear-shaped manhole are also manufactured.

Lapping is a very complicated and random process resulting from the variation of abrasive grains in its sizes and shapes and from the numerous factors having an effect on the process quality. Thus it needs to be analyzed by experimental method rather than by theoretical method to obtain the relative effects of factors quantitatively. In this study, cylindrical lapping experiment designed by Taguchi's L8 orthogonal array was performed and analyzed by Yates' ANOVA table. As a result, effective factors and interaction effects were identified and discussed. Also the optimal factor combination to obtain the largest improvement of surface roughness was selected and confirmatory experiments were peformed.
