In order to formulate the compounded polypropylene(C-PP) which is suitable to an automotive door trim panel, 9 sorts of properties were measured after manufacturing the C-PP using an extruder and an injection machine with polypropylene(PP), ethylene-octene rubber(EOR) and talc. Mixture design, especially extreme vertices design, in DOE with MINITAB - commercial software was used to analyze the data. The relations between each property and each component, for example, $y=0.00907222x_1+0.00870556x_2+0.0155722x_3$ for specific gravity, were found out by the regression analysis and the variance analysis. The optimized formulation of the C-PP for an automotive door trim panel was acquired at PP(77.6962), EOR(11.0238) and talc(10.2800) by use of the response optimizer(mixture) in MINITAB.

A gasket is known as an important component for mechanical sealing between mating surfaces. In case of the refrigerator, a gasket is generally installed into the edge line of a door to prevent cold air leaking out from the inside of a cabinet. The gasket shape used in a refrigerator is very complicated; it has a few deformable small rooms and wings (upper part) and inserting part (lower part) into the door. By the intricate shape, it takes much time and trouble on analysis by using a full-shape model. To settle down this problem, an effective design way of a gasket is proposed in this work. The inserting part is parametrically designed using FEM without considering the complicate upper part, Through this work, computational time and efforts are much reduced comparing to the full-shape analysis method. And the performance of a newly designed gasket was evaluated qualitatively.

In this paper, we analyzed the weakness of the Back-door type private network which was effective method of system security and transmission speed in the same area without firewall system, and presented the solution to improve it. To prove the effect of this solution, Windows based systems and UNIX based systems are set up in same area, data transmission was tried. According to the result, this solution can maintain the advantage of the Back-door type private network and can have the advantage of removing file server and increasing operation efficiency by reducing the number of operation.

Nowadays, manufacturing industry has been making its effort not only for productivity elevation but also for cost reduction in order to survive in the global market which is more and more challenging. In this paper, the method for planning of digital manufacturing system is proposed and door trim assembly system is determined as the subject of our research. First of all, the process sequence is generated based on the product analysis. And, the static and dynamic relationships between system components are represented using IDEF0 and UML model. The working time is estimated through the regression analysis based on MODAPTS method. According to the system configuration strategy, initial concept system layout is implemented 3D virtual environment. The problems caused by bad working motions are detected and modified through the ergonomic analysis using RULA method. According to proposed procedure, digital door trim assembly system is implemented in DLEMIA.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) of subway becomes a key issue as the IAQ guidelines for public transportation published. There are two major sources regarding IAQ of subway; One is the sources coming from outdoor air and the other is sources of inside. Particulate matters smaller than 10 micrometer (PM10) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) are recognized as the one of the most severe pollutants in Korea. The source of PM10 is mainly coming from outdoor air, however, the source of $CO_2$ is coming from passengers exhaust. According to the guidelines, the level of $CO_2$ should be lower than 2500ppm for normal operating time and lower than 3500ppm for rush hour. In order to satisfy these guidelines, the volume of mechanical ventilation should be increase which consumes extra energy for heating or cooling. Therefore, the optimum volume of mechanical ventilation should be calculated for energy saving. In this study, we measured the natural ventilation rate by door-opening which can reduce the load of mechanical ventilation. The $CO_2$ generator and sensors were used to measure the change of $CO_2$ by periodic door-opening of subway.

In this study, the effect of the air purifier located in the living room on the reduction of PM_2.5 concentration in the living room and bedroom was investigated. Measurements were carried out in real-life for about 2 weeks in a Korean apartment building where a 3-person household had lived and the exclusive private area was 84.9 m². When the air purifier in the living room was operating, the change in PM_2.5 concentration was measured when the door to the bedroom connected to the living room was opened and closed. In the case of living with the bedroom door open, the average PM_2.5 concentrations in the living room and bedroom were almost the same. When living with the bedroom door closed, the average PM_2.5 in the living room was higher than in the bedroom. The ventilation and cooking effects in the living room mainly affected the PM_2.5 concentration in the living room. Only one air purifier in the living room was able to keep the PM_2.5 concentration in the living room and bedroom low.

Environmental issues are attracting increasing interest worldwide, and accordingly, environmental regulations for vehicles are being made more stringent. As a result, the car industry is conducting studies focusing on fuel efficiency and lightweight vehicles. To manufacture lightweight vehicles, existing steel parts are replaced by composite materials and lightweight metals. In this study, the fatigue life of a new material for manufacturing lightweight car door hinges was predicted using a finite-element analysis program. The existing steel material was replaced by carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) and aluminum alloy 6061, and the test results were analyzed. The maximum stress decreased by approximately three times, whereas the fatigue life and safety factor increased. When only CFRP was used, its allowable stress, safety factor, and fatigue life were excellent, but the sagging of the product exceeded the allowable value, which posed a limitation in use. Therefore, it seems desirable to use an appropriate combination of steel, AA6061, and CFRP for this product.

This study investigated the pressure change in the fire room and elevator lobby during the air pressurization to the Elevator lobby with the various egress scenarios and the existence of vent holes in the fire room. The experiments revealed that pressure change was significantly affected by the open/closure scenarios of the front door and stairway door resulting in over pressure, under pressure and performance drop of the door closure. It also revealed that the required smoke defensive air velocity can be obtained only with the existence of vent holes in the fire room by the removal of back pressure in the fire room.

Reliability allocation is generally used during the early stage of system development to apportion the system reliability target to its individual modules. This paper presents a comprehensive method for performing the reliability allocation of KTX door systems. Nine criteria for reliability allocation include failure criticality, operating time, risk, complexity, failure rate, maintenance, manufacturing technology, working condition, and reliability cost. For satisfying the system reliability target, the allocated $B_{10}$ lives of four modules are provided.
