다단 딥드로잉의 기술은 제조 비용과 사이클 시간 단축 등의 장점으로 인해서 금속 성형 산업에 널리 적용되고 있다. 다단 딥드로잉으로 만들어진 제품의 형상이 복잡하고 세장비 큰 특징을 가진다. 예를 들어, 휴대 전화의 배터리 캔은 대표적으로 다단 딥드로잉으로 만들어진 제품이다. 배터리캔의 형상은 높이와 두께의 큰 종횡비를 가지고 있기 때문에 제조하기 무척 어렵다. 또한 최종 조립된 부품은 다단계 딥드로잉 후 스프링백으로 인해 조립 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 배터리 캔의 조립 시 발생하는 품질 문제를 개선하기 위해서 는 드로잉 후 스프링을 줄이기는 것이 매우 중요하다. 스프링백을 감소시키기 위해 산업 현장에서는 over bending, corner setting 및 Ironing 등의 경험적 방법을 적용해 왔으나, 본 연구에서는 유한 요소법을 이용한 보토밍(Bottoming)법을 제안하여 스프링을 줄이는 실용적이고 과학적인 방법을 제안하였다. 보토밍은 드로잉으로 성형된 최종 판재에 펀치로 압축 응력을 더욱 부가하여 스프링을 감소시키는 방법이다. 최적의 금형설계를 위해서 다양한 경우의 보토밍 공정 해석 시뮬레이션이 상용 유한요소 해석프로그램 (DYNAFORM)을 이용하여 연구되였다. 보토밍 공정을 적용한 제품의 스프링백 시뮬레이션 결과와 실험 결과와 비교되었고 그 시뮬레이션 결과는 실험과 잘 일치함을 보여 주었다. 결론적으로, 제안된 보토밍 방법은 산업계에서 스프링을 줄이기 위한 실용적인 방법으로 널리 사용될 것으로 예상된다.

A computer code was developed to simulate both the thermal stresses introduced during the post-filling stage and the in-plane deformation after ejection process by finite element method based on the plane stress theory. The computer simulation was applied to the mold design of a 2 inch light guide plate (LGP) for thin film transistor (TFT)-liquid crystal displays (LCD). With injection molding experiments based on the design of experiments (DOE) technique, the influences of the processing conditions in injection molding on brightness and uniformity of the LGP were investigated, and the optimal processing parameters were selected to increase the brightness and uniformity. The verification experiment showed that the brightness and uniformity of the LGP were increased dramatically under the selected optimal processing conditions.

Vibrational analysis is presented for a visual alignment system of nano-imprint process in this study. For a nano-imprinting equipment, the visual alignment system is one of the essential parts in order to align the mold into the target panel. For the precision alignment, the vibration from inside and outside of the vision system should be avoided, and the elimination of the vibration should be considered in the design process of the visual alignment design. In this work, vibrational characteristics for the vision system frame is analyzed and topology optimization of a frame section area is carried out. With the results of the analysis, a new frame design are suggested. Design consideration for constructing a visual alignment system in view of optimal design is also discussed.

In this study, an investigation on mechanical properties of flax natural fiber composite is performed as a precedent study on the design of eco-friendly structure using flax natural fiber composite. The Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding-Light (VARTML) manufacturing method is adopted for manufacturing the flax fiber composite panel. The VARTML is a manufacturing process that the resin is injected into the dry layered-up fibers enclosed by a rigid mold tool under vacuum. In this work, the resin flow analysis of VARTM manufacturing method is performed. A series of flax composite panels are manufactured, and several kinds of specimens cut out from the panels are tested to obtain mechanical performance data. Based on this, structural design of chemical storage tank for agricultural vehicle was performed using flax/vinyl ester. After structural design and analysis, the resin flow analysis of VARTM manufacturing method was performed.

Optimization of multi-quality characteristics in injection molded parts is very important, but it is sometimes difficult for part/mold designers. The objective of this study is to develop a practical design methodology for optimizing two-quality characteristics of injection molded parts. To attain this end, we developed a new design-range reduction algorithm based on Taguchi's orthogonal arrays for two characteristics. Then, the algorithm was integrated with commercial injection-molding simulation tools. A feature of the proposed methodology is that it allows field-designers unfamiliar with general optimization methods to be able to apply the methodology to their design problems with ease. Finally, we have applied the proposed design methodology to optimization of weldlines and deflections in an actual bezel model. The results show the usefulness of this methodology.

The cooling stage greatly affects the product quality in the injection molding process. The cooling system that minimizes temperature variance in the product surface will improve the quality and the productivity of products. The cooling circuit optimization problem that was once solved by a response surface method with 4 design variables. It took too much time for the optimization as an industrial design tool. It is desirable to reduce the optimization time. Therefore, we tried the back-propagation algorithm of artificial neural network(BPN) to find an optimum solution in the cooling circuit design in this research. We tried various ways to select training points for the BPN. The same optimum solution was obtained by applying the BPN with reduced number of training points by the fractional factorial design.

The Fine Blanking process is an effective precision shearing process that can obtain a smooth cutting surface and high product precision through a single blanking process. It is widely used in various manufacturing fields. However, shearing through this fine blanking process is only intended to minimize burrs, die rolls and fracture surfaces and does not completely remove them. Therefore, it is necessary to study the minimization of burrs, die rolls and fracture surfaces in the fine blanking process. In this study, a study was conducted on the relationship between the fracture surface and process conditions that occurred during product production using the fine blanking process. For this purpose, the shape of the V-ring indenter, the distance to the punch, and the pressure force, clearance, shear rate, and physical properties of the material were selected as process and design variables, and the relationship with the fracture surface according to each process and design condition was tested. It was analyzed through the Experimental Design Method.

주물공장에서는 주철을 녹여서 다양한 기계부품을 만든다. 다양한 기계부품을 만들기 위해 목형을 주물사에 넣은 후 주입구를 만들어 녹인 주철을 투입한다. 주물공장은 furan 공정을 포함해 많은 공정으로 이루어지며, 이 중 furan 공정은 목형에 주물사를 부어 넣는 공정이다. Furan 공정의 첫 단계는 주물사가 서로 엉겨 붙어 있게 하기 위해 접착성을 가지는 고분자 물질인 furan류를 주물사에 섞게 되고 녹은 주철이 목형으로 들어가는 것이며 고온에 의해 많은 유해 VOC류가 발생하게 된다. 또 공정조업에서 furan용 모래를 목형이 든 주물형틀에 부어 넣게 되고, 이때도 유독가스와 분진이 발생하게 되며 이 분진은 furan 물질을 포함하고 있어 조업자의 건강에 치명적인 요소가 되며, 이로 인해 조업기피현상이 심화되어 인력수급에 문제가 되고 나아가 사업 경영에 큰 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 조업기피의 원인을 제거하고 쾌적한 조업환경을 제공하기 위해 유해 VOC류와 집진을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 유해 VOC 및 분진 동시제거 시스템을 최적 설계하고 나아가 현장에 적용 설치하였다. 그 결과 설치 후 포름알데히드의 경우 VOC 0 ppm, 분진 $4{\mu}g/m^3$으로 조업환경이 개선되었으며, 조업자들의 조업 기피 요인을 해소하였다. 또한, 우리는 회사의 고용 문제를 해결하고, 작업의 생산성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.
