The design process of machine tools is regarded as a sequential, discrete, and inefficient works as it requires various kinds of design tools and many working hours. This paper describes an integrated design system embedding a design methodology that can support efficiently and systematically the conceptual structural design of machine tools. The system is a knowledge-based design system and has four machine-tool-specific functional modules including configuration design, configuration analysis, structure design, and structural analysis support module. Through the configuration design and analysis module, a machine configuration appropriate for design requirements is selected, and then the arrangement of ribs fer each structural part is decided in the structure design module. Also, the structural analysis support module is used to evaluate design result by utilizing structural analysis software, ANSYS. The system is applied to design of a tapping machine, and shows that the machine structure can be designed fast and conveniently by processing each design step interactively.

Machine element design is a very important course in the undergraduate program of mechanical engineering in that it presents traditional design concepts. While computer aided design(CAD) receives more attention, students tend to ignore the machine element design or traditional design concepts. However, design methodologies related to machine elements are utilized quite often in practical fields. Also, design methodologies provide good insight for the decision making process of modern design. Generally, CAD is used for simple drafting without the real design process in the undergraduate program. Design software has been developed for various machine elements. Through menu display, a user can select or furnish the design input such as design objects, dimensions, environmental forces and usages, and safety factors. Then the software carries out the design processes which are the same as those of textbooks. The result of the design is filtered to have the values in the standards. The designed machine element is drawn via commercial CAD software. The software has been developed with C language on a personal computer. The developed software is being utilized successfully in a design course, and the experiences are discussed in this paper. The software can be used in industries which require the repeated process of the machine element design.

The purpose of this study is to develop machine embroidery textile designs for each technique that can be expressed using a single-headed computer embroidery sewing machine through a machine embroidery CAD system. For research, embroidery CAD utilized the Artistic digitizer, and the guillotine computer-mechanical magnetization machine used ELNA. The design concept was limited to portraits and relics of independence activists in six memorial halls built in Korea. The results of this study are as follows. First, it was found that the machine embroidery texture, which could only be produced by industries in the past, can be expand in the infinite creative embroidery design area by enabling the digitalization of motif images and the simulation of machine embroidery techniques through various layout options. Second, in the development of machine embroidery textures, it was found that the setting of the width, height, axis ratio, stitch, object, path, length, density, layer order, etc. in embroidery CAD is a very important part of determining the completeness of the embroidery results. Third, mechanical embroidery textile designs, which can be represented by single-head computer machine embroidery machine were able to show colorful embroidery results that differs from the original image by using seven main techniques and five deep technique alone or in combination, according to the designer's intention.

We present a framework of an intelligent design support system for embodiment design of machine tools which can support efficiently and systematically the machine design by utilizing design knowledge such as objects(part), know-how, public, evaluation, and procedures. The design knowledge of machining center has been accumulated through interview with design experts of machine tool companies. The processes of embodiment design of machining center are established. We also introduce a hybrid knowledge representation so that the systm can easily deal with various and complicated design knowledge. The intelligent design system is being developed on the basis of object-oriented programming, and all parts of a design object, machining center, are also classified by the object-oriented modeling. For the demonstration of effectiveness of the suggested system, a structural design system for machine tools is implemented.

In electric machine design, there is a large computation cost for finite element analyses (FEA) when analyzing nonlinear characteristics in the machine Therefore, for the optimal design of an electric machine, designers commonly use an optimization algorithm capable of excellent convergence performance. However, robustness consideration, as this factor can guarantee machine performances capabilities within design uncertainties such as the manufacturing tolerance or external perturbations, is essential during the machine design process. Moreover, additional FEA is required to search robust optimum. To address this issue, this paper proposes a computationally efficient robust optimization algorithm. To reduce the computational burden of the FEA, the proposed algorithm employs a useful technique which termed static analysis assisted technique (SAAT). The proposed method is verified via the effective robust optimal design of electric machine to reduce cogging torque at a reasonable computational cost.

The purpose of the present paper are not to develope machine tools of new concepts and advanced mechanisms but to introduce and apply new methods and concepts in the design procedure by using and changing the previously existing technologies. In this paper 3D modeller was proposed for designing machine tools and the design and the better manufacturability checking than 2D one so that design error was dramatically reduced. As designer may easily understand the real shape of a part and assembly object, it's easy to draw the drawings not only in a conceptual design but also in a detailed design. Also, design automation software enabled designer to consider the real important design parameters by reducing time to spend in estimating and calculating the strength of the model by the computer aided automatic calculation instead of a tedious and complex calculation by manual method and help him to easily make the decision for selecting the stocks and design the structure of part or unit of machine tools.

This paper presents a conceptual design approach of air-cored synchronous machine with high temperature superconductor (HTS) field winding. With a given configuration of a target machine, boundary conditions are set in the cylindrical coordinate system and analytic field calculation is performed by solving a governing equation. To set proper boundary conditions, current distributions of the field winding and the armature winding are expressed by the Fourier expansion. Based on analytic magnetic field calculation results, key machine parameters are calculated: 1) inductance, 2) critical current of field winding, 3) weight, 4) HTS conductor consumption, and 5) efficiency. To investigate all potential design options, 6 sweeping parameters are determined to characterize the geometry of the machine and the parameter calculation process is performed for each design options. Among design options satisfying constraints including >80 % critical current margin and >95 % efficiency, in this paper, a first-cut design was selected in terms of overall machine weight and HTS conductor consumption to obtain a lightweight and economical design. The goal is to design a 5-MW machine by referring to the same capacity machine that was previously constructed by another group. Our design output is compared with finite element method (FEM) simulation to validate our design approach.

This paper presents structural design optimization of a micro milling machine for minimum weight and compliance using a genetic algorithm with dynamic penalty function. The optimization procedure consists of two design stages, which are the static and dynamic design optimization stages. The design problem, in this study, is to find out thickness of structural members which minimize the weight, the static compliance and the dynamic compliance of the micro milling machine under several constraints such as dimensional constraints, maximum compliance limit, and safety factor criterion. Optimization results showed a great reduction in the static and dynamic compliances at the spindle nose of the micro milling machine in spite of a little decrease in the machine weight.

In this paper, a multi-step optimization using a G.A. (Genetic Algorithm) with variable penalty function is introduced to the structural design optimization of a 5-head route machine. Our design procedure consist of two design optimization stage. The first stage of the design optimization is static design optimization. The following stage is dynamic design optimization stage. In the static optimization stage, the static compliance and weight of the structure are minimized simultaneously under some dimensional constraints and deflection limits. On the other hand, the dynamic compliance and the weight of the machine structure are minimized simultaneously in the dynamic design optimization stage. As the results, dynamic compliance of the 5-head router machine was decreased by about 37％ and the weight of the structure was decreased by 4.48％ respectively compared with the simplified structure model.
