The line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor has a high efficiency and an advantage in constant speed operation regardless of the effect of load variation. However, it is difficult to predict the performance of characteristics accurately, because of the unbalanced starting torque with the initial starting position of the rotor and the generation of a break torque. In this paper the dynamic characteristics of the line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor are described and compared with those of the squirrel-cage induction motor through the simulation to find the characteristics of the permanent magnets and the rotor bars in the line-start permanent magnet synchronous motor. Finally this paper gives the comparison between the simulation results and the experimental results.

The multihole blanking of thin sheet metal using progressive die set is an important process on production of precision electronic machine parts such as IC leadframe. In this paper, in order to investigate the influence of blanking order on the final lead profile and deformed configuration, simulation technique for progressive blanking process is proposed and analyzed by LS-DYNA. The results of FE-simulations are in good agreement with the experimental results. Consequently, from the results of FE-analysis based on the procedure proposed in this paper, it is possible to predict the deformation of lead and to manufacture high precision leadframes in progressive blanking process and these results might be used as a guideline to develop layout design system in multihole blanking process.

Finite element method and Taguchi method were used to reduce the floor impact vibration of the reinforced concrete slab in the apartment buildings. At first, experimental results show that sound peak components to influence the rating of floor impact sound insulation were coincident with natural frequencies of the reinforced concrete slab, and there is a high linear relation between floor impact vibration and sound. The tables of orthogonal arrays were used for finite element analysis with 5 factors related to slab shape parameters and its results were analyzed by statistical method. The most effective factor to reduce the floor impact vibration was the length of living/kitchen room and the floor impact vibration was predicted by 30% reduction in the acceleration peak by the optimal design values of the factors.

This research is aimed to design and analyze the performance of double dynamic vibration absorber (DVA) using a pendulum and a spring-mass type absorber for reducing vibration of two-DOF vibration system. The conventional fixed-points method and genetics algorithm (GA) optimization procedure are utilized in designing the optimal parameter of DVA. The frequency and damping ratio are optimized to determine the optimal absorber parameters. The simulation results show that GA optimization procedure is more effective in designing the double DVA in comparison to the fixed-points method. The experimental study is conducted to verify the numerical result.

The desiccant rotor is the most essential component of desiccant cooling system, but its design relies on manufacturer's experience and principles are not yet clear in spite of a lot of theoretical/experimental work published. The mathematical modeling of desiccant rotor needs solution of coupled partial differential equations of heat and mass transfer. In this study, numerical program is developed and validated using a real desiccant rotor. The calculation results are in reasonable agreement with the experimental data and other available numerical results. Optimization of desiccant rotor on the condition of low regeneration temperature are investigated. The optimal rotor speed at which the process outlet humidity becomes minimized, shows same as that of the system optimization. Compared to high regeneration temperature, broad is the range of optimal speed of low regeneration temperature. Systematic analysis on the optimal area ratio of regeneration to dehumidification section has also been conducted.

It does not seem necessarily practicable to keep the system always in optimal condition, athough the control system of the follow-up mechanism on the most marine gyro compasses is to be adjusted by the operator through the gain adjustment. Sometimes a sustained oscillation or an incorrect gyro reading occurs to the system. For such a system any systematical research or theoretical basis of the guide for the optimal gain adjustment has not been reported yet. As a basic investigation of the theoretical system analysis to solve the problems concerned, the author attempts in this paper to express the system in a mathematical model deduced from the results of the theoretical approach and the experimental observation of each element contained in the follow-up mechanism of Hokshin D-1 gyro compass, and to constitute an over-all closed loop transfer function. This funciton being reverted to a fourth orderlinear differential equation, the first order simultaneous differential equations are obtained by means of the state-variables. The latter equations are solved by the Runge-Kutta method with digital computer. By comparing the characteristic of the simulated over-all output with that of the experimental result, it is shown that both outputs are nearly consistent with each other. It is also expected that the system representation proposed by this paper is valid and will be a prospective means in a further study on the design and optimal adjustment of the system.

Purpose: There is active research that improves both reliability and fatigue life of structures which widely used in the aerospace fields of defense industry. The effects of three parameters (pressure, peening time, nozzle distance) on Almen intensity and coverage will be investigated by using the experimental and analyzed data. Methods: we employed a Box-Behnken design. Additionally, to verify the validity of the optimal condition obtained from experimental results, metallurgical analyses of the shot-peened aerospace part were conducted with respect to surface morphology, residual stress. Results: Optimal shot peening condition is determined as (distance, pressure, time) by optimizing simultaneously the two responses of intensity and coverage. At the optimal peening condition the prediction interval for Almen intensity is well within the required range. And, the validity of the condition was checked by using the real aerospace aluminum alloy plate. Conclusion: Shot peening introduces significant levels of compressive residual stress and induces improves both reliability and fatigue life of structures.

The present experimental investigation focuses on finding optimal parametric data-set of laser micro-drilling operation with minimum taper and Heat-affected zone during laser micro-drilling of Carbon Nanotube/Epoxy-based composite materials. Experiments have been conducted as per Box-Behnken design (BBD) techniques considering cutting speed, lamp current, pulse frequency and air pressure as input process parameters. Then, the relationship between control parameters and output responses is developed using second-order nonlinear regression models. The analysis of variance test has also been performed to check the adequacy of the developed mathematical model. Using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and an Accelerated particle swarm optimization (APSO) technique, optimum process parameters are evaluated and compared. Moreover, confirmation tests are conducted with the optimal parameter settings obtained from RSM and APSO and improvement in performance parameter is noticed in each case. The optimal process parameter setting obtained from predictive RSM based APSO techniques are speed=150 (m/s), current=22 (amp), pulse frequency (3 kHz), Air pressure (1 kg/cm²) for Taper and speed=150 (m/s), current=22 (amp), pulse frequency (3 kHz), air pressure (3 kg/cm²) for HAZ. From the confirmatory experimental result, it is observed that the APSO metaheuristic algorithm performs efficiently for optimizing the responses during laser micro-drilling process of nanocomposites both in individual and multi-objective optimization.

Purpose: Given the several proper models for given mixture components-process variables experimental data, we propose a strategy to find the optimal condition in which the performance of the responses is well-behaved under those models. Methods: Given the mixture experimental data with process variables, first we choose the reasonable starting models among the class of admissible product models based on the model selection criteria and then, search for the candidate models that are the subset models of the starting model by the sequential variable selection method or all possible regressions procedure. Good candidate models are screened by the evaluation of model selection criteria and checking the residual plots for the validity of the model assumption. Results: We propose a strategy to find the optimal condition in which the performance of the responses is well-behaved under those good candidate models by adopting the optimization methods developed in multiple responses surface methodology. Conclusion: A strategy is proposed to find the optimal condition in which the performance of the responses is well-behaved under those proper combined models. This strategy to find the optimal condition is illustrated with the example in this paper.

In case of manufacturing the high quality welds or pipeline, the full penetration weld has to be made along the weld joint. Thus the root pass welding is very important and has to be selected carefully. In this study, an experimental method for the selection of optimal welding condition was proposed in the root pass welding which was done along the V-grooved butt weld joint. This method uses the response surface analysis in which the width and height of back bead were chosen as the quality variables of the weld. The overall desirability function, which is the combined desirability function for the two quality variables, was used as the objective function for getting the optimal welding condition. In the experiments, the target values of the back bead width and the height are 6mm and zero respectively for the V-grooved butt weld joint of 8mm thickness mild steel. The optimal welding conditions could predict the back bead profile(bead width and height) as 6.003mm and -0.003mm. From a series of welding test, it was revealed that a uniform and full penetration weld bead can be obtained by adopting the optimal welding condition which was determined according to the method proposed.
