New design of catalytic converter is proposed by optimization of DFSS (Design For Six Sigma) and DOE (Design Of Experiment) method which is based on taguchi matrix. As a result of the optimization of design of catalytic converter, this paper classifies Exhaust-downpipe shapes with 3 parameters to increase flow velocity uniformity of front catalytic substrate face from CFD results. after finishing with L9 Taguchi test matrix, it can be found the main effect of each design parameter of concept model, and optimal design level. in conclusion, it can be increase flow uniformity from 0.60 upto 0.80 with optimal diffuser shape for Turbo-charger.

In this paper, the experimental design of an intake system was studied using the two microphones method and the taguchi method. The transmission loss was utilized to represent the performance of noise reduction for the intake system which was estimated by measuring sound power at inlet and outlet with two microphones, respectively. Two microphones method used in this paper was followed by wave decomposition theory The robust designing parameters of an intake system were extracted by adapting a cost function with the taguchi method, which optimized the process. Finally the effectiveness of the propose method was validated with the experimental data.

Engine Mount plays an important role which supports engine, isolates vibration from engine and blocks the vibration from road. Development of engine mount for NVH costs great a deal. So, the cost of development being reduced, the way developed effectively engine mount using DFSS technique is proposed in this paper. CTQ(critical to quality) is vibration and parameter is dynamic stiffness of mounts. The core parameters are selected with TPA(transfer path analysis) technique. It uses design of experiments(DOE) or Taguchi Methods to optimize parameter values and reduce variation. And then, this paper shows the result of improvement for vibration in the developing vehicle.

The propagation of blast vibration and the damping characteristics depend on both the mechanical properties of rock mass and weight charge. In this study, the characteristics of propagation and damping were analyzed by FLAC. The construction site was the second Kwang-ju circulating read. Taguchi method which is one of experimental design methods was used for determination of input data and parameter levels. The results showed that rock density was the most dominant of variables being concerned in this study, which affect the propagation of blast vibration.

This study is to apply the mechanical press joining method to join two kinds of sheet metals with circular holes by mechanical pressing instead of laser beam. Usage of the mechanical pressing avoids the thermal deformation of sheet metals which occurs inevitably in laser joining. A die design has been proposed to make the mechanical press joining applicable with finite element analysis. Five design factors related to the joining force have been selected and applied to the Taguchi method for optimization. Among five factors, 'Forming Depth' and 'Punch Corner Radius' have been revealed to be the most influential ones.
