  • Determining the optimal levels of the technical attributes (TAs) of a product to achieve a high level of customer satisfaction is the main activity in the planning process for quality function deployment (QFD). In real applications, the number of customer requirements for developing a single product is quite large, and the number of converted TAs is also high so the size of the house of quality (HoQ) becomes huge. Furthermore, the TA levels are often discrete instead of continuous and the product market can be divided into several market segments corresponding to the number of HoQ, which also unacceptably increases the size of the QFD optimization problem and the time spent on making decisions. This paper proposed a genetic algorithm (GA) solution approach to finding the optimum set of TAs in QFD in the above situation. A numerical example is provided for illustrating the proposed approach. To assess the computational performance of the GA, tests were performed on problems of various sizes using a fractional factorial design.

  • In order to commercialize the track systems including the turnouts developed in Korea, the guideline of technical and systematic performance evaluation considering local environment was established on Aug. 2010. It consists of a technical compatibility, laboratory test and in-service test. Technical compatibility and laboratory test of the domestically-developed swing-nose crossing turnout on slab track(F18.5) were evaluated according to the guideline. And then in-service test was performed for the turnout installed at the 2nd phase site of Kyung-Bu HSR. In-service test is comprised of monitoring, and field and on-board test during KTX operation, where monitoring is to check the maintainability, and field and on-board test is to confirm structural and running safety. This paper is intended to explain the requirements for the in-serve test and analyze the results of monitoring and the data measured at field and on-board. Based on the in-service test, it is proven that performance of the domestically-developed swing-nose crossing turnout on slab track(F18.5) well satisfies the requirements of the guideline.

  • Autonomous vehicles operated in the rough terrain environment must satisfy various technical requirements in order to improve the speed. Therefore, in order to design and implement a technical architecture that satisfies the requirements for speed improvement of autonomous vehicles, it is necessary to consider the overall technology of hardware and software to be mounted. In this study, the technical architecture of the autonomous vehicle operating in the rough terrain environment is presented. In order to realize high speed driving in pavement driving environment and other environment, it should be designed to improve the fast and accurate recognition performance and collect high quality database. and it should be determined the correct running speed from the running ability analysis and the frictional force estimation on the running road. We also improved synchronization performance by providing precise navigation information(time) to each hardware and software.

  • This study is focused on the investigation for similitude the requirements between prototype and scaled models to determine the structural behavior of concrete load bearing systems. The scaling concept has been utilized in many engineering branches, has been assisted to engineers and scientists for obtain the behavior of the prototype by using scaled model. The scaling can be done for two purposes, either scaling up or scaling down depending upon the application. Because, scaled down models are the experimentation on scaled models is cheaper than huge structures. These models also provide facilities for experimental work. Similarity relationships between systems are created either by field equations of the system or by dimensional analysis. Within this study, similarity relationships were obtained by both methods. The similarity relations obtained are applied to different load bearing systems and it is determined that the similarity relation is a general expression. In this study, as an example, column, frame, cantilever beam and simple beam are chosen and 1/2, 1/5 and 1/10 scales are applied. The results are compared with the analytical results which are obtained by creating of the finite element models with SAP2000 software of different scaled load bearing systems. The analysis results of all systems are examined and it is determined that the scale factors are constant depending on the scale types for different load bearing systems.

  • The energy demand in the world is expected to exceed 740 million TJ by 2040 and our dependence on fossil fuels needs to be switched to sustainable and renewable energy sources like solar energy. Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) is one of the best approaches to extracting solar energy. There are more than 200 BIPV products in the market currently but when it comes to integrating these products into the technical aspects such as buildings' structural integrity, thermal, daylight retainment and aesthetic prospects to be considered. The share of BIPV integration potential of different building types in the world of residential, agricultural, industrial, commercial and other buildings account for 66%, 4.8%, 8.1%, 19.9%, and 1.2% accordingly. Many solar technologies developed to achieve architectural requirements, but the main problem is the trade-off between efficiency and aesthetic appeal, which is less than 10% in coloured and transparent solar modules. This paper discusses the different applications of solar photovoltaics (PV) in building architecture, technical requirements, and different module technologies. The article provides a comprehensive guide for researchers and designers working on the development of BIPV integrations.

  • Technical issues of steel industry change along with other industrial progresses. Traditionally, steel protection from corrosion environment was the major issue and galvanic metal coatings were mainly used to extend the lifetime of steel products. Nowadays, requirements for steel have become more diversified. More various surface and material properties are required from different field of applications. Naturally, functional surface coating has become one of the most studied areas in steel industry. For functional surface coating, various process technologies and coating products are investigated. In this article, recent trends of functional coating technologies and products are introduced with brief technical descriptions of representative coating products.
