플라스틱 제품의 다이슬라이드식 사출성형은 기존 사출공법의 부가공정을 삭제하여 제품 생산에 요구되는 비용과 시간을 현저히 줄여준다. 그러나 다이슬라이드식 사출성형은 사출제품의 백화, 수지침투, 기공, 수지넘침 등의 결함들을 해결해야한다. 본 연구에서는 사출성형의 공정파라미터들을 유한요소법과 다구치법을 사용하여 최적화하고자 한다. 사출 성형해석은 Moldflow insight 2010 코드로 해석하며 2차 사출에서는 다단 사출코드를 적용한다. 폴리프로필렌(PP)을 밀폐용기인 냉각수 보조탱크로 성형할 때 사용하는 공정파라미터들은 다구치법의 망소특성과 $L_{16}$ 직교배열을 사용한 실험계획을 통해 최적화된다. 한편 최적값은 유의수준 5% 수준의 분산분석을 통해 타당성을 검증한다. 그리고 최적화 조건에서 성형된 제품과 기존 제품의 치수정확도를 비교한 결과 치수안정성이 5% 이상 개선됨을 확인하였다.

Hot-Press-Forming (HPF), an advanced sheet metal forming method using stamping at a high temperature of about $900^{\circ}C$ and quenching in an internally cooled die set, is one of the most successful forming process in producing crash-resistant parts such as pillars and bumpers with complex shape, ultrahigh strength, and minimum springback. To optimize conditions of a forming quality in HPF process and secure a safe product without any failures, such as fractures and wrinkling, the simulations based on the coupled thermo-mechanical analysis for a hot-press-formed lower control arm are applied with Taguchi's orthogonal array experiment. Three factor variables - the friction coefficient, blank shape, and hole location for burring - are selected to be optimized. The most effective condition of a forming quality for a hot-press-formed lower control arm is suggested. The simulation results are confirmed with experimental ones.

A Shock absorber is one of the most important components in vehicle suspension systems. In general, many repeated analyses are required for the design of a shock absorber to satisfy the suspension characteristics of a specific automobile, like fluid flow analysis and mechanical analysis. The purpose of this study is to develop a fast design tool for shock absorber designers. One of the efficient solutions for this can be an empirical design method considering phenomenological effects from the shock absorber design variables. In order to extract the shock absorber's experimental characteristics, we used Taguchi method. This method showed that which design variables have major effects for the shock absorber's damping characteristics. This empirical design method also showed the direction of the design changes to satisfy the designer's intension.
