This paper presents the optimal design of BLDC motor keeping the average torque and cogging toruqe of the initial model while minimizing the volume of magnet pole by FEM and Taguchi method. Experimental tests are performed by Finite element method, and the second order polynomial equations are obtained from FEM results due to design parameter variation referred to orthogonal arrays by Taguchi. The presented optimization shows a big reduction of computation time and a largely reduced volume of magnet pole.

Robust design is an approach to reducing performance variation of quality characteristic values in quality engineering. Taguchi has an idea that mean and variation are handled simultaneously to reduce the expected loss in products and processes. Taguchi parameter design has a great deal of advantages but it also has some disadvantages. The various research efforts aimed at developing alternative methods. In the Taguchi parameter design, the product-array approach using orthogonal arrays is mainly used. However, it often requires an excessive number of experiments. An alternative approach, which is called the combined-array approach, was suggested by Welch et. al. ( 1990) and studied by others. In these studies, only single quality characteristic was considered. In this paper we propose how to simultaneously optimize multiple quality characteristics using desirability function when we used the combined-array approach to assign control and noise factors. An example is illustrated to show the difference between the Taguchi's product-array approach and the combined-array approach.

A Taguchi methodology study of the plasma spraying thermal barrier coating (TBC) layer is presented. The experiment parameters were designed by a L8-style orthogonal arrays approach. A Taguchi analysis was conduc-ted through the results of the coating properties which were affected by plasma spraying parameters. Zirconia (partially stbilized with ytrria: PSZ) was sprayed on TiAl intermetallic compound substrates, The coating layer was characterized by thickness microstructure and porosity using SEM and Image analyzer. The coating quali-ties are discussed with respect to thermal barrier effect thermal cycling test6 and adhesion strength test. An optimum condition of plasma spraying process which are derived from the Taguchi analysis could be found for high quality TBC.

The Korean high speed train runs at 300 km/h, ballast-flying phenomenon often happens by strong train-wind. It is important to consider the prevention of ballast-flying phenomenon, because the train under-body and fares or walker around a track might be damaged. In this study, Numerical analysis of the under-body flow field of a train and study of heighter-effect were conducted to decrease the speed of under-body. The shape of under-body was simplified for convenience of meshing and analysis. According to results of Taguchi's design by orthogonal arrays, a height of tie is dominant in the flow field, so if the heighter is installed on tie, the speed of under-body might be decreased. To apply the result of this study is useful to build a new high-speed-line might be expected.

In this paper, we study the dominating-free sest which is defined as follows: k points called servers and n points called clients in the plane are given. For a point p in the plane is said to be dominated by a client c if for every server s, the distance between s and p is greater than the distance between s and c. The dominating-free set is the set of points in the plane which aren't dominated by any client. We present an O(nklogk+$n^2k$) time algorithm for computing the dominating-free set under the $L_1$-metric. Specially, we present an O(nlogn) time algorithm for the problem when k=2. The algorithm uses some variables and 1-dimensional arrays as its principle data structures, so it is easy to implement and runs fast.

In this research, the layout and geometry of U-type ribs in the part, including significant process conditions, are automatically optimized to reduce part warpage with robustness in consideration. The optimization procedure are based on an iterative redesign methodology integrated with computer aided injection molding simulation, Taguchi's Design of Experiment(DOE), and a direct search-based optimization method. The robustness of a design alternative is efficiently measured by introducing composite noise factor and Taguchi's signal-to-noise ratio. As a solution search methodology, the modified design space reduction method based on orthogonal arrays is employed to exploit an optimal robust design alternative. To illustrate the proposed methodology, a case study is performed on simulation results, where an optimal robust design alternative is obtained with a moderate number of iterations.

In this paper, we propose a design procedure for determining the gate position robust to changes and inherent fluctuations in the process conditions during injection molding. To evaluate the robustness of the gate position, the signal-to-noise ratio is used, and noise conditions are implemented using orthogonal arrays, where the process variables are considered as noise factors and possible process fluctuations are set as the levels of the noise factors. To show the usefulness of the proposed robust design procedure, we apply it to a computer CPU baseplate. As a result, it is shown that a robust gate position can be determined that reduces the average warpage deflection by 2.4% and 1.7%, and the variance by 3.4% and 5.1%, compared to the two initial gate positions.

This paper studies computer programming for the analysis of data obtained by experiments using Orthogonal Arrays. The following items are considered in the computer programming : * significant digits in the computation of Sum of Squares, Mean Squares and Variance Ratios * containing the necessary F-distribution values in the program. * matching the rules of KS A 0021 and 3251 in the digit treatments etc. The running results of ANOVA Table and Pooled ANOVA Table of a fictitious example is added with the parts of a program. It should be mentioned that the main purpose of this paper is in the arousing of the discussion about significant digits concept in the computer programming for various kinds of Statistical Methods.

A PC-based analysis and design system of exhaust muffler is described. It makes use of software packages such as Sysnoise and STAR-CD to calculate transmission loss(TL) and back pressure. The system is applied to redesign a main muffler of passenger car to improve its performance. The effects of design parameters on acoustic and pressure loss characteristics are examined. Taguchi method Is used to determine optimal combination of parameters which affects muffler performances such as TL and back pressure. Three models are chosen and compared in laboratory bench test and engine dynamometer test to prove their performances.
