Nowadays, the researches for improving LCD manufacturing process and reducing cost are getting accelerated and additionally new types of process are widely developed. In this situation, APEM(Anti Photo Exposure Method) which does not need photo-lithography is realized as one of possible alternative of LCD process. APEM makes LCD pattern by stamping and it can reduce the process cost and process time because of its simplicity. But optical alignment between pattern glass and target glass is very critical fact to realize the precise patterns. So, the analysis of deflection of large size of glass is carried out and design of experiment method is applied for optimal design of jig.

The quality of polymeric automotive parts depends highly on an injection molding process, which causes various defects, such as warpage, sink marks, weld lines, shrinkage, residual stress, etc. This study is to determine the optimum processing parameters, such as packing pressure, mold temperature, melting temperature, and packing time for the manufacture of polycarbonate buttons in cars on the basis of FEM, the Taguchi method, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). As a result, the optimum processing parameters of buttons made of polycarbonate material were obtained as follows: 140 MPa of packing pressure, $105^{\circ}C$ of mold temperature, $292.5^{\circ}C$ of melting temperature and 1 second of packing time. A gain of S/N (signal to noise) ratio, 10.2, was obtained with the optimum values. Moreover, the melting temperature was found to be the most significant factor followed by the mold temperature.

Die slide injection marvelously reduces the cost and time in processing plastic products because they can simplify the conventional process through eliminating additional process. However, this process must resolve some defects like whitening, resin infiltration, blowhole, resin overflow, etc. In this study, the process parameters of the injection molding are optimized by using the finite element method and Taguchi method. The injection molding analysis is simulated by employing the Moldflow insight 2010 code and the 2nd injection is by adopting the Multi-stage injection code. The process parameters are optimized by using the $L_{16}$ orthogonal array and smaller-the-better characteristics of the Taguchi method that was used to produce an airtight container (coolant reservoir tank) from polypropylene (PP) plastic material.rodanwhile, the optimum values are confirmed to be similar in 95% confidence and 5% significance level through analysis of variance (ANOVA). rooreover, new products and old products were compared by mdasuring the dimensional accuracy, resulting in the improvement of dimensional stability more than 5%.

Automotive fuel tank is generally divided into two parts: main frame and assembly parts. While the car is running, valves are used to prevent liquid carry over and to discharge evaporated gas from the fuel tank. However, current fuel tank designs focus on the gas ventilation or secured location. In this study, the location of the parts used to prevent liquid carry over within the fuel tank is evaluated during an optimal design process. To develop this design process, an approximate optimization is applied. Through the optimal design process, the optimal valve location in fuel tank is determined and the approximate optimization is validated by the Taguchi method. Finally, the optimized valve location is used to reduce the development cost and time and to contribute toward improved automobile quality owing to enhanced reliability.

It is desirable but difficult to predict springback quantitatively and accurately for successful tool and process design in sheet stamping operations. The result of springback analysis by the finite element method (FEM) is sensitively influenced by numerical factors such as blank element size, number of integration points, punch velocity, contact algorithm, etc. In the present work, a parametric study by Taguchi method is performed in order to evaluate the influence of numerical factors on the result of springback analysis quantitatively and to obtain the combination of numerical factors which gives the best approximation to experimental data. Since springback is determined by the residual stress after forming process, it is important to evaluate stress distribution accurately. The oscillation in the time history curve of stress obtained by the dynamic-explicit finite element method says that the stress solution at termination time is in very unstable state. Therefore, a variability study is also carried out in this study in order to assess the stability of implicit springback analysis starting from the stress solution by explicit forming simulation. The U-draw bending process, one of the NUMISHEET '93 benchmark problems, is adopted as an application model because it is most popular one for evaluating the springback characteristic.

Nano-crystalline slaked lime was synthesized using design of experiment. In order to synthesize slaked lime, calcium chloride $(CaCl_2)$ and urea were used as starting materials. Calcium chloride solution and urea solution were mixed and heated in vessel that calcium carbonate was precipitated during heating. Precipitates were filtered, washed several times using D.I.water and ethanol and finally dried in oven. Slaked lime $(Ca(OH)_2)$ has been fabricated by the hydration of calcined $CaCO_3$. Design of experiment (Taguchi method) was used to optimize parameter, to minimize noise factors of experiment and to statistically analyze the results. Slaked lime having about 50 nm in optimized crystallite size could be obtained by calcination of $CaCO_3$ at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 0.5 h and hydration with D.I water containing ethanol and oxalic acid.

In this paper, we propose an ultrasonic magnetic abrasive polishing (US-MAP) technique to effectively machine a high-strength material, and we prove the efficiency of hybrid finishing. We use Taguchi's experimental method to determine the influence of each parameter. Based on the results, US-MAP exhibited a higher polishing efficiency than traditional MAP, and a suitable frequency for hybrid finishing was 28 kHz. When investigating the effect of the parameters on the surface roughness, the ultrasonic amplitude had the greatest effect. However, when machining with $55-{\mu}m$ amplitude, the machining efficiency decreased as the magnetic flux density varied.

The vacuum-glazing panel is a panel that keeps two glasses completely sealed in a vacuum condition. It is the high function insulation material of having the wall level minimizing the heat loss by the conduction and convection heat transmission coefficient. The edge sealing is a very important process of vacuum glass on the strength, thickness and air tightness. In this study, by using the hydrogen mixture gas torch, two sheets of glass was sealing in the furnace. The thickness and strength of the glass according to the process parameters is measurement and analysis, and predicting the edge sealing strength of glass by using taguchi method of experiment. We verified the validity of the experiment by checking the error rate through additional experiment.
