Ensuring both product quality and reducing material cost are important issue for the design of the piping system of an air conditioner outdoor unit. This paper describes a shape optimization that achieves mass reduction of an air conditioner piping system while satisfying two design constraints on resonance avoidance and the maximum stress in the pipes. In order to obtain optimized design results with various analysis fields considered simultaneously, an automated multidisciplinary analysis system was constructed using PIAnO v.2.4, a commercial process integration and design optimization(PIDO) tool. As the first step of the automated analysis system, a finite element model is automatically generated corresponding to the specified shape of the pipes using a morphing technique included in HyperMesh. Then, the performance indices representing various design requirements (e.g. natural frequency, maximum stress and pipe mass) are obtained from the finite element analyses using appropriate computer-aided engineering(CAE) tools. A sequential approximate optimization(SAO) method was employed to effectively obtain the optimum design. As a result, the pipe mass was reduced by 18 % compared with that of an initial design while all the constraints were satisfied.

Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulation is a very powerful tool to design, test and verify automotive control systems. However, well-validated and high degree of freedom vehicle models have to be utilized in these simulations in order to obtain realistic results. In this paper, a vehicle dynamics model developed in the Carsim Real Time program environment and its validation has been performed using experimental results. The developed Carsim real time model has been employed in the Tofas R&D hardware-in-the-loop simulator. Experimental and hardware-in-the-loop simulation results have been compared for the standard FMVSS No. 126 test and the results have been found to be in good agreement with each other. Two electronic stability control (ESC) algorithms, named the Basic ESC and the Integrated ESC, taken from the earlier work of the authors have been tested and evaluated in the hardware-in-the-loop simulator. Different evaluation methods have been formulated and used to compare these ESC algorithms. As a result, the Integrated ESC system has been shown superior performance as compared to the Basic ESC algorithm.

Recently, there has been a rapid development in computer technology, which has in turn led to develop the automated welding system using Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, the automated welding system has not been achieved duo to difficulties of the control and sensor technologies. In this paper, the classification of the optimized bead geometry such as bead width, height penetration and bead area in the Gas Metal Arc (GMA) welding with fuzzy logic is presented. The fuzzy C-Means algorithm (FCM), which is best known an unsupervised fuzzy clustering algorithm is employed here to analysis the specimen of the bead geometry. Then the quality of the GMA welding can be classified by this fuzzy clustering technique and the choice for obtaining the optimal bead geometry can also be determined.

최근 세계 자동차 업계는 AUTOSAR 소프트웨어 플랫폼 표준을 제정하여 소프트웨어의 신뢰성과 재사용성을 향상키고 있다. 그러나 테스트 시스템 및 테스트 프로세스의 신뢰성 확보와 테스트에 소요되는 기간 단축을 위하여 테스트의 표준화 및 자동화가 절실하다. 특히 RTE 및 베이직 소프트웨어 모듈은 표준화를 만족하는 설계 도구를 사용함으로써 최소한의 신뢰성이 보장되지만, 여전히 응용 소프트웨어 컴포넌트에 대해서는 철저한 테스트가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 표준화된 AUTOSAR 설계 정보를 이용하여 소프트웨어 컴포넌트의 유닛 테스트를 위한 테스트 시스템의 생성 및 테스트 케이스 생성 자동화 방법을 제안하였으며, 테스트 시스템은 TTCN-3 테스트 표준을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법을 적용함으로써 차량 소프트웨어의 개발 기간 단축 및 신뢰성을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

High-throughput subcellular imaging is a powerful tool for investigating the function of genes. In order to identify novel regulators of apoptosis we transiently transfected HeLa cells with 938 hypothetical genes of unknown function, and captured their nuclear images with an automated fluorescence microscope. We selected genes that induced greater than 3-fold increase in the percentage of apoptotic nuclei compared with vector-transfected cells. The full-length genes C10orf61, MGC 26717, and FLJ13855 were identified as candidate proapoptotic genes, and their apoptotic effects were confirmed by DNA fragmentation ELISAs and Western blotting for caspase-7 and PARP. We conclude that a subcellular image-based apoptotic screen is useful for identifying genes with proapoptotic activity.

멀티-도메인 공학시스템은 전기, 기계, 유압, 열등의 도메인을 포함하며, 시스템 구성이 복잡하여 설계에 많은 어려움을 가지고 있다. 최적의 설계를 위해서는 각 도메인에 대한 통합된 설계 방법과 자동적이고 효율적인 탐색방법이 요구된다. 본 논문은 도메인에 독립적인 본드 그래프(bond graph)와 대규모 공간 해의 탐색에 접합한 진화 알고리즘의 일종인 Genetic Programming(유전 프로그래밍, GP)를 결합하여 멀티 도메인 동적 시스템에 대한 디자인 해를 자동적으로 생성해주는 설계 방법을 제시하였다. 제안된 설계방법의 효용성을 입증하기 위해서 고유값(eigenvalue) 설계 문제가 실험되었고, 서로 다른 태아모델을 가진 고유값의 집합이 사용되었다.

항공 소프트웨어가 FAA(미국연방항공청)에 승인받기 위해서는 DO-178B 표준에 따라야 한다. DO-178B에서는 안전 필수 소프트웨어의 단위 테스트가 MC/DC 기준을 만족하기를 요구하고 있다. MC/DC에 따른 테스트는 안전성과 관련된 오류를 효과적으로 찾을 수 있는 수단으로 알려져 있지만 MC/DC를 만족하는 테스트 케이스를 생성하는 작업이 용이하지 않는 것도 사실이다. 이 논문에서는 MD-SAT이라고 명명한 SAT(SATisfiability) 기술을 사용하여 MC/DC를 만족하는 테스트 케이스를 자동으로 생성하는 도구에 대해 소개한다. 이 도구는 결정표 기반 테스트, 인과 그래핑 및 상태 전이 테스트 방법을 구현한 도구에서 보다 다양한 테스트 케이스 생성을 위해 사용될 수 있다.

Precision machine tools for high dignity cutting are needed for efforts to improve machining accuracy. However, there are many factors to improve machining accuracy. This study investigated how machining accuracy changes when variation and unbalance amount in rotational speed domain is decreased. Machining accuracy of initial machine tools depends on manufacturing and assembly of parts such as bearing. And then, vibration and noise vary with volume of unbalance amount when it is rotation, so it effects unbalance amount. Also vibration and noise increased by unbalance shorten spindle's life and it especially makes worse boring accuracy. Therefore, this study studied the change of roundness and cylindricity of workpiece when it decreases variation and unbalance in rotational speed domain.

Dependability-critical systems, such as digital instrumentation and control systems in nuclear power plants, necessitate engineering techniques and tools to provide assurances of their safety and reliability. Determining system reliability at the architectural design phase is important since it may guide design decisions and provide crucial information for trade-off analysis and estimating system cost. Despite this, reliability and system engineering remain separate disciplines and engineering processes by which the dependability analysis results may not represent the designed system. In this article we provide an overview and application of our approach to build architecture-based, dynamic system models for dependability-critical systems and then automatically generate dynamic fault trees (DFT) for comprehensive, tool-supported reliability analysis. Specifically, we use the Architectural Analysis and Design Language (AADL) to model the structural, behavioral and failure aspects of the system in a composite architecture model. From the AADL model, we seek to derive the DFT(s) and use Galileo's automated reliability analyses to estimate system reliability. This approach alleviates the dependability engineering - systems engineering knowledge expertise gap, integrates the dependability and system engineering design and development processes and enables a more formal, automated and consistent DFT construction. We illustrate this work using an example based on a dynamic digital feed-water control system for a nuclear reactor.

Aerodynamic analysis of an airfoil in the transonic region was automated in order to enable parametric study by using the journal file of the commercial analysis code FLUENT, pre/post process Gambit and computational mathematics code MATLAB. The automated capability was illustrated via NACA 0012 and RAE 2822 airfoils. This analysis was carried out at Mach numbers ranged from 0.70 to 0.80, angles of attack; 1$^{\circ}$, 2$^{\circ}$ and 4$^{\circ}$, Reynolds numbers; 4.0${\times}$106, 6.5${\times}$106. The analysis results of a pressure coefficient were verified by comparing with the experimental data which were measured in terms of chord length because the pressure coefficient of an airfoil surface is a good estimator of flow characteristics. The results of two airfoils show that this analysis code is useful enough to be used in the design optimization of airfoil.
