The final quality of the workpiece is affected by the grinding process that has been conducted in final manufacturing stage. However the quality-satisfaction of ground workpiece depends on the skill of an expert in this process. Therefore, the process models of grinding have been developed to predict the states according to grinding process. In this paper, in order to find the optimized grinding condition to reduce the manufacturing expense and to meet requirements of ground workpiece optimization algorithm using E.S.(Evolutionary Strategy) is proposed. The proposed algorithm has been employed to find the optimal grinding and dressing condition using the grinding process models and nonlinear grinding constraints. The optimized results also presents the guide line of grinding process. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified through the experimental results.

의약 중간체 제조 공장을 포함한 정밀 화학 산업에서 생산 계획 및 전사적 자원 관리(enterprise resource planning) 관한 의사 결정은 기업 운영 효율성 최적화에 매우 주요한 연구 주제이다. 기존의 의사 결정 시스템은 공장 간의 자원관리와 공장내 생산 계획이 분리되어, 전사적 관점에서의 전역 해를 도출하는데 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 무선 식별 시스템(Radio Frequency Identification; RFID) 기반의 실시간 물류 관리 시스템을 이용하여 의약품 중간체 산업의 전사적 자원 관리와 최적 생산 계획 수립을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 의사결정 플랫폼을 개발하고, 실제 제조 공정에 적용하여 그 효과를 분석한다. 기존의 분리된 운영 체제와는 달린 본 연구에서 제안하는 통한 의사결정 플랫폼은 원료 주문 및 운송 시간에 관한 정보가 RFID 기술을 통해 제조 공정 생산 계획 수립의 핵심 데이터로 사용됨으로써, 별도의 재고 관리 시설 없이 공장간 물류 현황에 대응하여 최적 생산 계획이 수립된다. 이를 위하여 제품 생산 시간 최소화를 목적 함수로 설정하고, 마감 기한 및 주문량에 대한 제약조건 등을 포함한 혼합정수선형계획 모델을 개발하였다. 이후 개발된 최적화 모델을 실제 의약품 중간체 생산 문제로 적용함으로써, 제안한 통합 의사결정 플랫폼의 효용성을 입증하였다. 본 연구 결과로 생산 시간 최적화를 위해 단순한 공정 조합을 필요로 하는 생산물이 먼저 제조되고 복잡한 공정 구조를 가진 생산물이 순차적으로 생산되는 생산 일정이 최적임을 확인하였다.

Design optimization of layered plates bonding process is conducted by considering uncertainties in a manufacturing process, in order to reduce the crack failure arising due to the residual stress at the surface of the adherent which is caused by different thermal expansion coefficients. Robust optimization is peformed to minimize the mean as well as its variance of the residual stress, while constraining the distortion as well as the instantaneous maximum stress under the allowable reliability limits. In this optimization, the dimension reduction (DR) method is employed to quantify the reliability such as mean and variance of the layered plate bonding. It is expected that the DR method benefits the optimization from the perspectives of efficiency, accuracy, and simplicity. The obtained robust optimal solution is verified by the Monte Carlo simulation.

Aircraft manufacturing companies have to consider multiple derivatives to satisfy various market requirements. They modify or extend an existing aircraft to meet new market demands while keeping the development time and cost to a minimum. Many researchers have studied the derivative design process, but these research efforts consider baseline and derivative designs together, while using the whole set of design variables. Therefore, an efficient process that can reduce cost and time for aircraft derivative design is needed. In this research, a more efficient design process is proposed which obtains global changes from local changes in aircraft design in order to develop aircraft derivatives efficiently. Sensitivity analysis was introduced to remove unnecessary design variables that have a low impact on the objective function. This prevented wasting computational effort and time on low priority variables for design requirements and objectives. Additionally, uncertainty from the fidelity of analysis tools was considered in design optimization to increase the probability of optimization results. The Reliability Based Design Optimization (RBDO) and Possibility Based Design Optimization (PBDO) methods were proposed to handle the uncertainty in aircraft conceptual design optimization. In this paper, Collaborative Optimization (CO) based framework with RBDO and PBDO was implemented to consider uncertainty. The proposed method was applied for civil jet aircraft derivative design that increases cruise range and the number of passengers. The proposed process provided deterministic design optimization, RBDO, and PBDO results for given requirements.

Recently, interest in customers has shifted to the emotional quality of customers as the driving, handling, and collision stability of automobiles have been greatly improved. The NVH performance of a vehicle is quantified and evaluated from the DPDS. To improve the DPDS, we need to optimize the shape without considering the increases in thickness of the parts or additions to the parts. And at the same time, we need to establish design and analysis processes to satisfy the requirements of the DPDS.

When a wheel profile of a train-tram is designed, both train and tram tracks should be considered. This study designed a wheel profile that enables high-speed driving(200km/h) on the train track and low speed driving on the tram track with multiple sharp curves. The study used the approximation optimization method to reduce cost and time, used the sequential quadratic programming method as the optimized algorithm, and the central composite design and response surface method as an approximate model. The optimized wheel shape based on this approximation optimization method reduced wear of the initial wheel showed a better performance in terms of derailment and lateral force.

Recently developed automotive components are of lightweight nature, providing automobiles with a high fuel efficiency and performance. In response to those trends of car developments, this study proposes a structural optimization method for the lower control ann. Lightweight design of lower control am can be achieved through two approaches: design and material technology.

In this research, the design of experiments(DOE) built in ANSYS WORKBENCH are utilized to determine the optimum shape of a Lower Control Arm. And optimum design is compared first model and reduced design variable model that considered sensitivity using orthogonal array.

Up to now, it has been said that no satisfactory computer solution has been found for synthesizing four-bar linkage based on the prescribed coupler link curve. In our study, an algorithm has been developed to improve the design synthesis of four bar linkage based on the 5 precision points method. The suggested algorithm generates the desired coupler curve by using NURBS, and then the generated curve approximates as closely as possible to the desired curve representing coupler link trajectory. Also, when comparing each generated curve by constructing the control polygon, rapid comparison is easily achieved by applying convex hull of the control polygon. Finally, an optimization process using ADS is incorporated into the algorithm based on the 5 precision point method to reduce the total optimization process time. As for examples, two four bar linkages were tested and the result well demonstrated the effectiveness of the algorithm.

Riveting is mainly used to assemble the aircraft fuselage. An average of 2~3 workers is needed to assemble an aircraft fuselage consisting of various size frames by riveting. In this study, a riveting process that enables one-person operation using an automated C-frame riveting machine was proposed for improving the efficiency of productivity. The proposed process was verified stability through structural analysis. In the range that can maintain structural stability, panel thickness of the riveting machine and shape were modified to optimizing the shape for reducing the weight of the riveting process. The structural analysis was performed by software ANSYS workbench 19.2. The optimized riveting machine was reduced by 257kg compared to the existing model.

In this study, we conducted laser welding by using remote scanner that is 5J32 aluminum alloy to observe the mechanical properties and optimize welding process parameters. As the control factors, laser incident angle, laser power and welding speed were set and as the result of weldablility, tensile shear tests were performed. ANOVA (Analysis of Variation) was also carried out to identify the influence of process variables on tensile shear strength. Strength estimation models were suggested using regression alnalysis and 2nd order polynomial model had the best estimation performance. In addition optimal welding condition was determined in terms with wedalility and productivity using objective function and fitness function. Final optimized welding condition was laser power was 4 kW, and welding speed was 4.6 m/min.
