The purpose of this study is an optimization of gate valve made by forging method instead of welding method. In this study, we propose an optimal shape design to improve the mechanical efficiency of gate valve. In order to optimize more efficiently and reliably, the meta-modeling technique has been developed to solve such a complex problems combined with the DACE (Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments). The DACE modeling, known as the one of Kriging interpolation, is introduced to obtain the surrogate approximation model of the function. Also, we prove reliability of the DACE model's application to gate valve by computer simulations using FEM(Finite Element Method).

In recent study on design of experiments, the complicate metamodeling has been studied because defining exact model using computer simulation is expensive and time consuming. Thus, some designers often use approximate models, which express the relation between some inputs and outputs. In this paper, we review and compare the complicate metamodels, which are expressed by the interaction of various data through trying many physical experiments and running a computer simulation. The prediction model in this paper employs interpolation schemes known as ordinary kriging developed in the fields of spatial statistics and kriging in Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments (DACE) model. We will focus on describing the definitions, the prediction functions and the algorithms of two kriging methods, and assess the error measures of those by using some validation methods.

Kriging model is widely used as design DACE(analysis and computer experiments) model in the field of engineering design to accomplish computationally feasible design optimization. In this paper, the optimization of gate valve was performed using Kriging based approximation model. The DACE modeling, known as the one of Kriging interpolation, is introduced to obtain the surrogate approximation model of the function. In addition, we describe the definition, the prediction function and the algorithm of Kriging method and examine the accuracy of Kriging by using validation method.

The butterfly valve has been used to control the switch and flux of fluid. While research about the characteristics of butterfly valve fluid have been done, study of the optimum design, considering structural safety, must keep pace with it. Thus, a method is proposed for an optimum butterfly valve. Initially, the stability of the butterfly valve, using FEM and CFD, is evaluated, and a variable is selected using the initial analysis results. Also, the shape optimization design is accomplished using the DACE model. In terms of research results, the experiment satisfied the objective and limitation functions.

Design analysis and computer experiments (DACE) model is widely used to express efficiently nonlinear responses in the field of engineering design. As a DACE model, kriging model can approximately replace a simulation model that is very expensive or highly nonlinear. The kriging model is composed of the summation of a global model and a local model representing deviation from the global model. The local model is determined by correlation coefficient with the pre-sampled points, where the accuracy and robustness of the kriging model depends on the selection of proper correlation coefficients. Therefore, to achieve the robust kriging model, the range of the correlation coefficients is explored with respect to the degrees of the global model. Based on this study we propose the proper orders of the global model and range of parameters to make accurate and robust kriging model.

Design analysis and computer experiments (DACE) model is widely used to express efficiently the nonlinear responses in the field of engineering design. Kriging model, a DACE model, can approximately replace a simulation model that is very expensive or highly nonlinear. The kriging model is composed of the summation of a global model and a local model representing deviation from global model. The local model is determined by correlation coefficient of the pre-sampled points, where determination of the correct correlation coefficient has an effect on accuracy and robustness of the kriging model. Therefore, robustness of the correlation coefficient is explored with respect to degrees of the global model. Then we propose the range of correlation coefficient to make correct and robust kriging model and the influence of the correlation coefficients on the degrees of global model with respect to the nonlinearity of the pre-sampled responses.

오늘날 과학 및 공학연구를 위하여 복잡한 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 자주 사용하고 있다. 전통적 물리적 실험이 입력수의 한계와 출력의 측정오차를 가지는 반면 시뮬레이션 실험 또는 전산실험은 입력수에 제한이 거의 없고 대부분 출력 또한 측정오차가 없거나 매우 작다. 이러한 전산 실험의 분석을 위해 비교적 새롭게 등장한 통계적 방법이 DACE(Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments)이나. 본 발표에서는 이 DACE의 기본 개념과 원리를 간단히 소개하고, 실제로 기계설계에 효과적으로 적용된 사례를 보이고, 향후 연구방향 등을 논의하겠다. 특히 시뮬레이션 코드에 존재하는 절대상수의 추정문제(calibration)와 공간선형 모형의 최적선택을 위한 알고리즘을 소개한다.

We propose an optimal design to improve the capacity by reducing the noise of the intake system. The length and radius of each component of the current Intake system are selected as control factors. We accept the output from computer simulator with orthogonal arrays. Then, the Kriging estimates are computed. From this, we exploit the optimal design of the intake system by adapting simulated annealing. From the results of this optimal design, we conclude that Kriging method with the orthogonal arrays is the efficient method for Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments and we propose the useful results for the low noise intake system.

Recently, the engineering designer of injection mould has become more and more dependent on the CAE. In the design factors of injection mould, the shrinkage rate should be considered as one of the important performances to produce the reliable products. therefore the shrinkage rate can be mostly calculated by the MoldFlow and Pro-engineering. in the design process. However it is not easy to predict the shrinkage rate of a plastic injection mold in its design process because the analysis can take minutes to hours, the high computational costs of performing the analysis limit their use in design optimization. In this study, the surrogate models, DACE model, based on the Kriging in order to optimize the shrinkage rate of electric microwave oven window is used in lieu of the original models, facilitating design optimization.

One feature of a computer simulation experiment, different from a physical experiment, is that the output is often deterministic. Moreover the codes are computationally very expensive to run. This paper deals with the design and analysis of computer experiments(DACE) which is a relatively new statistical research area. We model the response of computer experiments as the realization of a stochastic process. This approach is basically the same as using a spatial linear model. Applications to the optimal mechanical designing and model calibration problems are illustrated. Algorithms for selecting the best spatial linear model are also proposed.
