Frictional properties of ultra-thin carbon coatings on silicon wafer were investigated based on Taguchi experimental design method. Sensitivity analysis was performed with normal load, relative humidity, deposition process, and coating thickness as the variables. It was found that despite low thickness, the carbon coating resulted in relatively low friction coefficient. Also, the frictional behavior was affected significantly by humidity and normal load.

The stress concentration of lock-claws, which are one of the important parts for pneumatic fitting for a flexible tube connection, was investigated by finite element simulation. In this study, the generation of the local plastic deformation was predicted when the tube was hooked up to a pneumatic fitting in order to disperse the stress concentration, and design optimization was carried out using the Taguchi method. For the optimization, the outer width, bending angle, and inner radius of the lock-claws are used as main variables. As a result, their respective contribution ratios are revealed as 81.3%, 10.9%, and 1.5%. The ratio of the total stress distribution was improved by 4% compared with the initial design of the lock-claws.

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.

The machining parameters for the wire electrical discharge machining(WEDM), including no load voltage, pulse-on time, pulse-off time, wire tension, water flow rata offset etc. should be chosen properly so that a better performance can be obtained An optimum selection of machining parameters relies heavily on the operators technologies and experience. This study presents a method by means of Taguchi method to select optimal machining parameter combination for an cutting speed or surface roughness. Experimental results demonstrate that the machining models are appropriate and the derived machining parameters satisfy the real requirements in notice.

나노 구동용 선형 모터는 이송체의 구동에 따른 진동과 열 특성으로 인하여 발생되는 기구간의 진동과 기계적인 마찰력 변화로 나노위치제어에 어려움이 있다. 그러므로 이송체에 대한 진동과 열에 대한 분석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 개발된 선형 모터의 이송체를 무부하 상태에서 유한 요소 해석을 통해 진동 특성을 분석하고 실험계획법을 적용하여 이송체에 대하여 최적화된 설계 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 또한 이송체의 진동 특성을 고려한 경량화를 통해 선형 모터의 안정된 구동을 모색하고자 한다.

Lifeboat davit is composed of main frame, main arm, upper arm and support bar. In this paper, design parameters that affect the bending stiffness were set as plate thickness, width and hight of upper arm. To analyze the influence of parameter factors, FEM and Taguchi Method were used. This paper will help substantially in many industries.

Recently, the laser processing method has used as micro-machining technologies in industries of aerospace, electronics and automotive. The laser processing newly focused could be alternative to existing machining method. However, there are few practical results of research about the proper setting of the laser machining conditions and the laser machining characteristics for mechanical materials. The purposes of this study was to choose optimum machining conditions and to estimate the laser machining characteristics using taguchi experimental method for various mechanical materials that is S45C, Stainless steel, Aluminum, Copper, Titanium and Tungsten carbide. From obtained results, it was confirmed that optimum machining conditions could be found and laser machinability depends on thermal conductivity and hardness of workpiece.
