In this study, product design and prototype manufacturing of a plastic water-pump pulley has been tried. The designed model is supposed to be made of 33 % glass reinforced resin of which the tensile strength is 180 MPa, and has 24 ribs on each side to increase its structural strength. Structural analysis under a static load of 300 kgf acting on both edges of the belt has been carried out using a commercial finite element code, MARC. The analysis result showed the maximum effective stress near a rib of designed model would be at most 35 MPa (less than 20% of the tensile strength), therefore, the plastic product would be sufficiently safe under that loading condition. On the basis of the structural analysis, a prototype of the designed model has been manufactured by using the fused deposition modelling (FDM) method which is one of the rapid prototyping (RP) methods, using ABS resin and support materials. The CAD data exported to the RP system in STL format was prepared by a commercial solid modeling software, SolidWorks. It has been proved that the plastic pulley can successfully replace the existing flow-formed steel product.

A preform is designed by the backward tracing scheme of the rigid-plastic finite element method(FEM) for net-shape shell nosing components without machining after forming. The current process of the shell nosing requires cost-consuming machining to produce final products. Here, the backward tracing scheme of the rigid-plastic FEM, a novel method for preform design of metal forming processes, derives a sound preform for net-shape shell nosing product. The current process is simulated by the rigid-plastic finite element analysis to check the metal flow involved in the forming with a trial preform and its modified preform. The two preforms are found to be inadequate for net-shape shell nosing product. The first application of the back ward tracing scheme derives a preform producing a not-shape shell nosing product. The first application of the backward tracing scheme derives a preform producing a net-shape product numerically, but it is difficult to be formed economically as a preform. Thus an improved preform is designed by the badkward tracing scheme, which is suitable for net-shape manufacturing of the shell nosing components in view of economy of production and forming characteristics of the product. The preform in the current process and a modified preform are confirmed by a series of experiments and the results give the same deformation with the numerical ones. Finally the newly designed preform by the FEM was experimentally proved to be adequate in obtaining net-shape products.

Injection molding has been widely used for the mass production of a plastic product. With the development of the relative technique, various injection molding techniques have been developed and we could get more precise plastic product. The temperature of a melting resin is an important factor in the injection molding and this temperature has direct influence on the quality of a plastic product. In the present injection molding machine, the deriation of a temperature controlled by PID control method is within 2$^{\circ}C$ in the injection molding machine but PID control method takes too much time to stabilize after preheating and its overshoot is so big. We applied fuzzy control to alleriate the problem. In this research, we experimented the fuzzy temperature control with the usage of PC based PLC.

Environmental waste treatment technology is transforming from incineration system to pyrolysis gasification system. And there it is necessary for our country to adapt gasification system urgently to prevent the land pollution and lack of landfill area. The objective of this study was to determine the pesticides residues of derived product of pyrolysis gasification system for recycling of waste plastic by gas chromatograph-mass selective detector and nitrogen phosphorus detector. The residual pesticides were not detected in derived product of waste recyling. But some pesticide was detected on raw level (0.02 ～ 0.05 ppm) in waste plastic sample.

In the plastic extrusion process, product quality is influenced by work condition for temperature of cylinders and dies. The work conditions are various, so it is difficult to standardization of the work conditions. Therefore, the work conditions are depended on the workers of experience and skill. In the plastic extrusion process, it has five control heating points on the cylinder and three control heating points on the die. In addition, there is one control point on the extrusion process. It is extrusion speed. In this case, we don't know how these affect product quality. We structure the multiple linear regression equation with the temperature of cylinders and dies as independent variables and the product weight as dependent variable. We solve this equation using statistic computer package named Juse-Qcas.

The metal is frequently used in the air-conditioner frame, which must have the durability from the various external environments, but has difficulties in being manufactured for many complex shapes. On the other hand, the plastic, used as a material of injection molding, enables the realization of various shapes and the mass-production of complex ones and leads low production cost. As the air-conditioner frame becomes increasingly complex and detailed, the plastic material is highlighted as an alternative for the frame. But the product molded by plastic with a complex shape might have a noise problem. Therefore this study attempts to design the product through TRIZ in order to reduce the noise of the air-conditioner with the frame of plastic material.

A design methodology is applied for manufacturing the valve-spring retainer component. The design criterion is the forging load within the available press limit. Also, the final product should not have any geometrical defect. The rigid-plastic TEM has been applied to simulate the conventional five-stage manufacturing processes, which include mainly backward extrusion and heading process. Simulations of one step process from selected stocks to the final product shape are performed for a possibly better process than the conventional one.

A brake spider in an irregular shape, which is used as a part in the braking system of a vehicle like a big truck and a trailer, is subjected to a large torque and hence requires both strength and endurance over the brake heat. Manufacture of this product in practice is generally composed of hot forging processes and machining. At the present study, two or more processes were considered for the hot forging. With an initial circular billet, blocker and finisher processes were analyzed using the rigid-plastic finite element method and also in addition to the preforming process. Proper forging processes to manufacture an irregular product without forging defects, which are preforming, blocker and finisher, were discussed and commented upon.
