Recent engineering process requires fast development and manufacturing of the products. This paper mainly discusses the process of rapid product development (RPD) from the reverse engineering to the optimal design. A laser scanning system scans a product and the efficient data processing method reduces the scanned point data. The reduced (scanned) points model is transformed to a finite element model without the construction of a CAD model. Since CAD modeling is a time-consuming work, skipping this step can save much time. This FE model is updated from the result based on the structural characteristics from modal test of the real model. For FE model updating, Response Surface Method is adopted. Finally, the updated FE model is optimized using the reliability-based topology optimization, which is developed recently. All these processes are applied to the design of an upper part model of a cellular phone.

A proportional pressure control valve has a nonmagnetic ring which is inserted in between a coil and plunger and it can get attraction force in proportion to input current by an influence of control cone. Therefore, a proportional pressure control valve is applied to a servo system as substitution of servo valve and an on-off solenoid valve widely because control of a high level is possible and pollution level is low. The purpose of this study is to develop domestic model of a proportional pressure control valve, and a test model was designed and manufactured through valve system analysis and finite element analysis. And comparison between results of theoretical analysis and static / dynamic characteristics test were carried out on a manufactured test model, and it was confirmed that it has excellent performance in comparison with other foreign products.

Based on experimental analysis, the characteristics of pulsating pressure wave propagation is clarified by testing of 4-stroke gasoline engine. The pulsating pressure wave in exhaust system is generated gyulsating gas flow due the working of exhaust valve. The pulsating pressure wave is closely concerned to the loss of engine power according to back pressure and exhaust noise. It is difficult to exactly calculate pulsating pressure wave nonlinear effect. Therefore, in the first step for solving these problems, this paper contains experimental model and analysis method which are applied two-port network analysis. Also, it shows coherence function, frequency response function. back pressure, and gradient of temperature in exhaust system.

The non-linear static and dynamic response of doubly curved thin isotropic shells has been studied for the step and sinusoidal loadings. Dynamic analogues Von Karman-Donnel type shell equations are used. Clamped immovable and simply supported immovable boundary conditions are considered. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations of the shell are discretized in space and time domains using the harmonic differential quadrature (HDQ) and finite differences (FD) methods, respectively. The accuracy of the proposed HDQ-FD coupled methodology is demonstrated by the numerical examples. Numerical examples demonstrate the satisfactory accuracy, efficiency and versatility of the presented approach.

The inelastic earthquake response of non-symmetric, braced steel buildings, designed according to the EC3 (steel structures) and EC8 (earthquake resistant design) codes, is investigated using 1, 3 and 5-story models, subjected to a set of 10, two-component, semi-artificial motions, generated to match the design spectrum. It is found that in these buildings, the so-called "flexible" edge frames exhibit higher ductility demands and interstory drifts than the "stiff" edge frames. We note that the same results were reported in an earlier study for reinforced concrete buildings and are the opposite of what was predicted in several other studies based on the over simplified, hence very popular, one-story, shear-beam type models. The substantial differences in such demands between the two sides suggest a need for reassessment of the pertinent code provisions. In a follow up paper, a design modification will be introduced that can lead to a more uniform distribution of ductility demands in the elements of all building edges. This investigation is another step towards more rational design of non-symmetric steel buildings.

In parameter design, Taguchi's stated objective is to find the setting of product or process design parameters that minimize average quadratic loss-that is, the average squared deviation of the response from its target value. Yet in practice to choose the settings of design parameters he maximizeds a set of measures called signal-to-noise(SN) ratios. In general, Taguchi gave no justification for the use the SN ratios and no explanation of why the two-step procedure that he recommened will minimize average loss. The purpose of this study is comparing and analyzing of performance statistics by Leon et al(PerMIA), Box(Transformation theory), Vining & Myers(Dual Response Systems) and Taguchi(Signal-to-Noise ratios).

This paper deals with the case analysis of second order processes under sampled-data. Proportional Integral-Derivative(PID) control, and development of Decision Support Systems(DSS) for such processes. In this paper three techniques were described for identifying the dynamics of closed loop stable processes. The first, called pulse testing is a frequency-domain method, which yields the frequency response diagram of an open loop process. The second is a time-domain method which yields the gain and time constants of the process model. The third technique is based on step response and gives the parameters of PID controllers. The development of DSS design programs consisting of above three techniques will provide very powerful tools in the microcomputer based process control.

Two kinds of discontinuous control methods i, e., simple on-off(SOF) control and pulsating on-off(POF) control methods are implemented and compared each other for a low cast hydraulic position-control system which utilizes a solenoid-operated directional valve instead of a servovalve. Experimental work was carried out to investigate effects of control parameters and loading conditions on step response characteristics of the system for each control method. The results show that much higher accuracy and much better transient response characteristics can be achieved by POF controller than those by SOF controller. The results may be used as basic data in the selection of control parameters as well as in the design of the hydraulic position-control system.

Induction motor has been using for industrial field. Up to the present time, the PID controller has been used to operate this system. However, it is very difficult to achieve an optimal PID gain without any experience, since the gain of the PID controller has to be manually tuned by trial and error procedures. This paper focuses on the fuzzy control for optimal control of the induction motor in plant. In order to attain optimal control, flux, torque and speed controller has been used and an fuzzy logic based controller has been applied to this system. The results of the fuzzy are compared with the PID controller tuned by the Ziegler-Nickels method, through various simulation based on the various disturbance and step response. The simulation results of the fuzzy control represent a more satisfactory response than those of the conventional controllers.

Collaborative filtering (CF) recommendation is a knowledge sharing technology for distribution of opinions and facilitating contacts in network society between people with similar interests. The main concerns of the CF algorithm are about prediction accuracy, speed of response time, problem of data sparsity, and scalability. In general, the efforts of improving prediction algorithms and lessening response time are decoupled. We propose a three-step CF recommendation model which is composed of profiling, inferring, and predicting steps while considering prediction accuracy and computing speed simultaneously. This model combines a CF algorithm with two machine learning processes, SOM (Self-Organizing Map) and CBR (Case Based Reasoning) by changing an unsupervised clustering problem into a supervised user preference reasoning problem, which is a novel approach for the CF recommendation field. This paper demonstrates the utility of the CF recommendation based on SOM cluster-indexing CBR with validation against control algorithms through an open dataset of user preference.
