Although there has been substantial research on the squeal noise for the automotive brake system, robust design issues with respect to control factors equivalent to design variables in optimization, noise factors due to system uncertainties, and signal factors designed to accommodate a user-adjustable setting still need to be addressed. For the purpose, the robust design applied to the disk brake system has been investigated by DOE (Design of Experiments) based Taguchi analysis with dynamic characteristics. The specific goal of this methodology is to identify a design with linear signal-response relationship, and variability minimization. The finite element models of the disk brake assembly have been constructed, and the squeal noise problems have been solved by complex eigenvalue analysis. As the practical robust design to reduce the brake squeal noise, material properties of pad, disk, and backplate, thickness and geometry of pad are selected as control factors, material properties of pad and disk, and the contact stiffness have been considered as noise factors, and friction coefficient between pad and disk is chosen as a signal factor. Through the DOE based robust design, the signal-to-noise ratio and the sensitivity for each orthogonal array experiment have been analyzed. Also, it has been proved that the proposed robust design is effective and adequate to reduce the brake squeal noise.

This paper presents the robust design of gripper part for a high-speed LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) transfer system. In this paper, the 1st DOE (Design of Experiment) is conducted to find out main-effect factors fur the design of gripper part. Thirty-six experiments are performed using $ANSYS^{(R)}$ and their results are statistically analyzed using $MINITAB^{(R)}$, which shows that the factors, i.e., First-width, Second-width, Rec-width, and thickness of gripper part, are more important than other factors. The main effect plots shows that the maximum deflection and mass of gripper part are minimized by increasing First-width, Second-width, Rec-width and thickness. The 2nd DOE is conducted to obtain RSM (Response Surface Method) equation. The CCD (Central Composite Design) technique with four factors is used. Optimum design is conducted using the RSM equation. Genetic algorithm is used for optimal design. Six sigma robust design is conducted to find out a guideline for control range of design parameter. To obtain six sigma level reliability, the standard deviations of design parameters are shown to be controlled within 5% of average design value.

In this paper, a new framework that works the automatic execution with less design cycle time and human intervention bottlenecks is introduced to optimize the vortex shedder design by numerical integration method. This framework is based on iSIGHT combined with the pre-processor GAMBIT, and flow analysis software FLUENT. Two vortex shedders, circular with slit and triangular- semi circular cylinder, are employed as the designed models to be optimized, and DOE driver is used for optimization. According to the essential properties of a vortex shedder, it has found that the best diameters are 30mm for circular cylinder with slit and 30 to 35 mm for tri-semi cylinder. For slit ratio, 0.1 and 0.15 are the optimized values for circular with slit and tri-semi cylinder respectively. And it is found that these optimal results generated by DOE automated design cycle are in well agreement with the experiment.

This paper presents the optimization process of evaporator for a vapor compression cooling system for high heat flux CPU. The CPU thermal capacity was given by 300W. Evaporating temperature and mass flow rate were $18^{\circ}C$ and 0.00182kg/s respectively. R134a was used as a working fluid. Channel width(CW) and height(CH) were selected as design factors. And thermal resistance, surface temperature of CPU, degree of superheat, and pressure drop were taken as objective responses. Fractional factorial DOE was used in screening phase and RSM(Response Surface Method) was used in optimization phase. As a result, CW of 2.5mm, CH of 2.5mm, and CL of 484mm were taken as an optimum geometry. Surface temperature of CPU and thermal resistance were $33^{\circ}C\;and\;0.0502^{\circ}C/W$ respectively. Thermal resistance of evaporator designed in this study was significantly lower than that of other cooling systems such as water cooling system and thermosyphon system. It was found that the evaporator considered in this work can be a excellent candidate for a high heat flux CPU cooling system.

In this paper, a numerical study has been carried out to investigate the influence of volute geometries on the performance of a sirocco fan. In order to achieve an optimum volute design and explain the interactions between the different geometric configurations in the volute system, three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics and the 'design of experiment' method have been applied. Several geometric parameters, such as the volute expansion angle, the cut-off position and the bell mouth shape, are employed to improve efficiency and performance. $2^k$ factorial designs were performed to screen the most influential parameters and interactions, and showed that the cut-off position and the bell mouth shape are the most significant parameters. The optimum design was selected as a result of the response surface methodology, and effects of these parameters and their interactions were presented. From the results of computational analyses and experimental data, the performance and efficiency of the sirocco fan were successfully improved. Also, detailed effects of geometric variables of the volute system on the fan performance were discussed.

The requirements for the optimal building system design is numerous. However, most system designers do not take care of various design strategies. They often argue that the proper simulation tools are not existed to solve the implicated design requirements and the time to consider many alternatives of building systems are insufficient. The aim of this study is to develop the optimization interface program that considers various system design variables and eventually find both the optimal values of annual energy use and cost. Therefore, Doe2Opt is developed to easily perform simulation-optimization process based on DOE2 and GenOpt, and minimizes energy cost of small-to-medium sized building for 6.7% and that of large sized building for 3% with optimizing several HVAC system variables.

This paper recognized a need in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry for new programs and methods of producing reliable energy simulations using BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology. Current methods and programs for running energy simulations are not very timely, difficult to understand, and lack high interoperability between the BIM software and energy simulation software. It is necessary to improve on these drawbacks as design decision are often made without the aid of energy modeling leading to the design and construction of non-optimized buildings with respect to energy efficiency. The goal of this research project is to develop a new methodology to produce energy estimates from a BIM model in a more timely fashion and to improve interoperability between the simulation engine and BIM software. In the proposed methodology, the extracted information from a BIM model is compiled into an INP file and run in a popular energy simulation program, DOE-2, on an hourly basis for a desired time period. Case study showed that the application of this methodology could be used to expediently provide energy simulations while at the same time reproducing the BIM in a more readably three dimensional modeling program. With the aid of an easy to run and easily understood energy simulation methodology, designers will be able to make more energy conscious decisions during the design phase and as changes in design requirements arise.

각 응집지로의 유입유량 불균등현상은 대부분 정수장에서 직면하고 있는 중요한 문제점이다. 이와 같은 유량의 불균등현상은 응집지 분배수로의 구조, 지별 유출위어의 높이차 등과 관계가 있으나, 시설물 구조개선에 의한 유량의 균등화는 투자비용 대비 실효성이 크지 않은 문제점이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 정수 시설물의 개선 없이 실험계획법(DOE, Design Of Experiment)과 반응표면분석법(RSA, Response Surface Analysis)을 이용한 유입밸브 개도율의 최적화로 각 응집지로의 유입유량을 균등하게 하는 것이다. 병렬로 연결된 6개 응집지의 유입밸브 개도율(%)과 유량분배율(%)을 각각 특성치(Y)와 인자(X)로 선정하고, 실험계획법과 반응표면분석법을 적용하여 지별 유량 균등분배를 위한 지별 유입밸브 개도율의 최적화 및 회귀식을 산출하였다. 최적화된 지별 유입밸브 개도율의 현장 적용결과, 지별 유량분배율의 표준편차는 3.80%에서 0.42%, 지별 침전수탁도의 표준편차는 0.29 NTU에서 0.03 NTU로 각각 감소하였다.

In this study, a thick-film semiconductor odor gas sensor for the detection of $CH_3$SH was developed using SnO$_2$ as the main substrate and was investigated in terms of its sensitivity and reaction time. In the process of manufacturing the sensor, Taguchi's design of experiment (DOE) was applied to analyze the effects of a variety of parameters, including the substrate, the additives and the fabrication conditions, systematically and effectively. Eight trials of experiments could be possible using the 27 orthogonal array for the seven factors and two levels of condition, which originally demands 128 trials of experiments without DOE. The additives of Sb$_2$O$_{5}$ and PdCl$_2$ with the H$_2$PtCl$_{6}$ ㆍ6$H_2O$ catalyst were appeared to be important factors to improve the sensitivity, and CuO, TiO$_2$, V$_2$O$_{5}$ and PdO were less important. In addition, TiO$_2$, V$_2$O$_{5}$ and PdO would improve the reaction time of a sensor, and CuO, Sb$_2$O$_{5}$, PdCl$_2$ and H$_2$PtCl$_{6}$ㆍ6$H_2O$ were negligible. Being evaluated simultaneously in terms of both sensitivity and reaction time, the sensor showed the higher performance with the addition of TiO$_2$ and PdO, but the opposite results with the addition of CuO, V$_2$O$_{5}$, Sb$_2$O$_{5}$ and PdCl$_2$. The amount of additives were superior in the case of 1% than 4%. H$_2$PtCl$_{6}$ㆍ6$H_2O$ would play an important role for the increase of sensor performance as a catalyst.nce as a catalyst.
