The quality of a rotating body such as a washing machine depends on the vibration characteristics. So, the researches to reduce the vibration of a washing machine are actively performing, but it is very difficult to conduct these experiments because there are many design parameters affecting the vibration behavior. Accordingly, in this study it was complete to build a modeling of a drum washing mashing to analyze and predict vibration behaviors. The design parameters which affect the vibration were found, and the method for the systematic analysis of the design parameters was suggested using axiomatic design. In the previous study, the effect of the gasket has not considered on vibration behaviors, but in this study it was considered. The simulation results showed good agreements with the experimental results in the vibration displacement and the vibration tendency of a drum washing machine.

A traditional mold design has been conducted by an experience-based trial and error, whereby the mold designer would decide the gate locations and processing conditions based on the caring characteristics and its functional requirements. The paper suggests an optimal gate location and processing conditions in the injection molding using a global search method referred to as micro genetic algorithm( ${\mu}$ GA). ${\mu}$ GA yields the optimal solution with a small size of population without respect to design variables for saving time that is needed to calculate the fitness of many individuals. Due to the reason, the paper uses a commercial analysis package of injection molding(CAPA) to analysis a state of flux. In addition to that, axiomatic approach .is applied in the beginning of design. It is a useful method to draw a well-organized and reasonable idea to handle a problem.

Micromanipulator is a device that manipulates an object with high precision. Generally, a parallel-type robot has inherently higher precision than a serial-type robot. In most cases, the use of flexure hinge mechanisms is the most appropriate approach to micromanipulators. The micromanipulator is basically required that have high natural frequency and sufficient workspace. However, previous designs are hard to satisfy the required workspace and natural frequency, simultaneously, because the previous micromanipulators are coupled designs. Therefore, this paper suggests a new design parameter as displacement amplifier and new design procedure based on semi-coupled design in axiomatic design. As a consequence the spatial 3-DOF micromanipulator which is chosen as an exemplary device has natural frequency of 500Hz and workspace of $-0.5^{\circ}{\sim}0.5^{\circ}$. To investigate the effectiveness of the displacement amplifier, simulation and experiment are performed.

Axiomatic Design is the useful tool for making a good design. In Axiomatic design, the independency is an important property to determine whether the design is good. Until now many designers decide the independency between FRs by their own decision. The way depending on inspiration is simple and fast, but it can not be considered as precise conclusion. Also there are not exact rule that evaluate the quantitative independency between FRs. This thesis will show the way to evaluated the quantitative independency of FRs from the comparison between FRs of more lower levels, and develop more efficient and objective tool in Axiomatic Design.

Rolling process to fabricate a strip with even thickness is significant to enhance the quality of the strip. The thickness of a strip can be effectively controlled by pair-cross mills. However, pair-cross mill generates thrust in the axial direction of roller and causes skewness, deflection, twist and even accidental roll chock failure. Therefore, accurate estimation of the thrust of the pair-cross mill during rolling process is necessary to monitor the failure of roll and the quality of products. An empirical equation given by Mitsubishi Heavy Industry (MHI) is hitherto employed, where the thrust is expressed in terms of rolling force, reduction ratio and crossed angle. However it turns out that the MHI empirical equation provides somehow inaccurate and unsuitable thrust in practical rolling processes. Moreover, we learn that three parameters involved in MHI equation are coupled each other. In this paper, axiomatic design principle is employed to select appropriate parameters involved in approximate equation in order to make parameters uncoupled. A quadratic equation using response surface method with new parameters is suggested. The accuracy of the approximate model is examined by comparing with real experimental data.

The micro-gripper system is one of the systems that should be improved in the respect of performance for practical usage. In the previous works, the important issues are considered and presented using axiomatic design approach. In this paper, the functional requirements and design parameters are evaluated in order to improve the performance and efficiency of the system. The evaluation is a very difficult task since many variables are related to the outcomes. To provide a basis for correct design decisions, axiomatic design principles have been advanced. Since the framework of axiomatic design makes design issues easier to understand when they are analyzed, we used those as an evaluation tool. The object of the system is to handle micro-size parts. Main device is a micro-gripper using two bender-typed and one stack-typed PZTs as actuators. And it has three tips made of tungsten wires fur holding function. Also the system must satisfy other functional requirements for appropriate handling performance. The results of this study show design improvements of micro-gripper system such as structural change of gripper, additional element, and integration of physical parts. Axiomatic design guides presented suitable design parameters corresponding to functional requirements and made the design elements improve through diagrams of whole system.

Axiomatic design offers a scientific base for design in an efficient way. It is well known that it has two axioms: the Independence Axiom and the Information Axiom. Many applications of the Independence Axiom have been published, however, the Information Axiom has been mainly applied to IFR (functional requirement) - 1DP (design parameter) problems except fer a few case studies. This research presents various methods for calculation of information content. Generally, the information content is evaluated by the probability of success. The probability of success is calculated in two ranges: the FR range and the DP range. In the FR range, the graphical method is utilized with uniform distribution of the DP. In the FP range, the integration method is employed. It is noted that any distribution function of the DP can be accommodated in the integration method. The developed method can be applied to a decoupled design with multiple FRs and DPs. The developed method is extended to a coupled design and a design with a hierarchical structure of axiomatic design.

기존의 데이타 모델 및 설계 방법론들은 실세계의 데이타 객체에 대해 고정된 한 측면의 모델 표현만을 허용하기 때문에 여러 측면으로 관측이 가능한 실세계 객체들의 표현에 어려움을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 객체의 측면 개념을 제공하는 객체 중심 측면 모델(OOAM : Object-Oriented EA Model)의 기본 개념을 보여주고 OOAM에 의해 구축되는 데이타베이스 스키마의 시맨틱을 분석하고 서술하기 위해 OOAM을 형식적으로 정의하였다. 먼저 데이타베이스 설계 과정에서 필요한 공리들을 설정하고 OOAM을 intension과 extension으로 각각 정의한 후 그들 사이의 관계를 정의하였다.

서남표(70) 전 MIT 석좌교수가 한국을 떠난 지 52년 만에 제13대 KAIST 총장이 돼 돌아왔다. 1990년대 미국 미시간대 총장, KAIST 총장을 고사했던 그가 이제 마음을 바꿔 로버트 러플린 후임으로 오게 된 것이다. 그는 재외 한국인 과학자 중 학문적으로 일가를 이룬 사람으로 꼽힌다. 고객의 요구를 만족시키는 최적의 설계 이론인 ‘공리적 설계’를 창안하기도 해 세계적으로 바람을 일으키기도 했다. 학생들한테는 눈물이 날 정도로 엄하게 훈육했으며, 130년 전통의 MIT 기계과를 혁신한 것으로도 유명하다. 그를 만나 그의 인생 역정과 철학, KAIST에 대한 비전을 들어봤다.
