This paper proposes a novel reliability analysis method which computes reliability index, most probable point and probability of failure of uncertain systems more efficiently and accurately with compared to Monte Carlo, first-order reliability and response surface methods. It consists of Initial and Simulation steps. In Initial step, a number of space-filling designs are selected throughout the variables space, and then in Simulation step, performances of most of samples are estimated via interpolation using the space-filling designs, and only for a small number of the samples actual performance function is used for evaluation. In better words, doing so, we use a simple interpolation function called "reduced" function instead of the actual expensive-to-evaluate performance function of the system to evaluate most of samples. By using such a reduced function, total number of evaluations of actual performance is significantly reduced; hence, the method can be called Reduced Function Evaluations method. Reliabilities of six examples including series and parallel systems with multiple failure modes with truncated and/or non-truncated random variables are analyzed to demonstrate efficiency, accuracy and robustness of proposed method. In addition, a reliability-based design optimization algorithm is proposed and an example is solved to show its good performance.

In resin transfer molding (RTM) process, preplaced fiber mat is set up in a mold and thermoset resin is injected into the mold. An important interest in RTM process is to minimize cycle time without sacrificing part quality or increasing cost. In this study, the numerical simulation and optimization process in filling stage were conducted in order to determine the optimum gate locations. Control volume finite element method (CVFEM) was used in this numerical analysis with the coordinate transformation method to analyze the complex 3-dimensional structure. Experiments were performed to monitor the flow front to validate simulation results. The results of numerical simulation predicted well the experimental results with every single, simultaneous and sequential injection procedure. We performed the optimization analysis for the sequential injection procedure to minimize fill time. The complex geometry of an automobile bumper core was chosen. Genetic algorithm was used in order to determine the optimum gate locations with regard to 3-step sequential injection case. These results could provide the information of the optimum gate locations in each injection step and could predict fill time and flow front.

Recently Machine Learning has been considered as one of the active research areas of Computer Science. The various Artificial Intelligence techniques are used to solve the classification problems of environmental sciences, biological sciences, and medical sciences etc. Due to the heterogynous and malfunctioning weather sensors a considerable amount of noisy data with missing is generated, which is alarming situation for weather prediction stockholders. Filling of these missing values with proper method is really one of the significant problems. The data must be cleaned before applying prediction model to collect more precise & accurate results. In order to solve all above stated problems, this research proposes a novel weather forecasting system which consists upon two steps. The first step will prepare data by reducing the noise; whereas a decision model is constructed at second step using regression algorithm. The Confusion Matrix will be used to evaluation the proposed classifier.

본 연구는 복합레진 중합 시 발생되는 중합수축이 C-factor에 의해 어떻게 영향 받는지 그리고 적층충전이 중합수축에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 시행되었다. 세 가지 다른 깊이의 시편을 비교하였으며, 충전방법에 따른 비교를 위해 5가지 다른 충전방법에 따른 수축응력을 스트레인 게이지(Strain guage)를 사용하여 측정하였다. 이상의 실험을 통해 얻은 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 와동깊이에 따른 수축응력을 측정한 결과 2mm와 3mm 시편에서는 800초 후 수축응력이 $2.18{\pm}0.23MPa$과 $2.38{\pm}0.07MPa$로 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 2. 4mm 시편에서 800초 후 수축응력은 $1.99{\pm}0.24MPa$로 가장 낮은 수축응력을 보였다 (P<0.05). 3. 중합정도를 확인하기 위한 미세경도 실험결과 2mm와 3mm 시편에서는 상면과 하면의 미세경도 차이가 20% 내외로 양호한 중합상태를 보여주었으나, 4mm 시편에서는 상면과 하면의 미세경도가 현저한 차이를 보여 불완전한 중합이 이루어졌음을 알 수 있었다(P<0.05). 4. 충전방식에 따른 수축력의 차이를 비교한 결과 flowable resin을 이장하고 bulk로 충전한 제 5군에서 가장 낮은 수축응력을 보였으며, 제 1군(bulk충전)과 4군(oblique 적층충전)이 유사한 정도의 수축응력을 보였고, horizontal과 vertical하게 적층충전한 제 2군과 3군에서 가장 큰 수축응력이 관찰되었다(P<0.05).

본 연구는 외경부에 단이 존재하는 제품의 링롤링작업을 위한 예비성형체의 설계에 관한 연구이다. 형상링롤링 공정에서 가장 일반적으로 나타나는 결함 중 하나는 미충진이며, 변형량이 적을 경우나 외경부 단의 깊이가 클 경우 발생한다. 이러한 미충진을 방지하기 위해서는 변형량을 증가시키거나 예비성형체를 최종형상에 근접하도록 설계하여야 한다. 결함이 없는 제품을 생산하기 위하여 형상비와 성형비를 이용한 충진한계식을 제안하였다. 충진한계식은 네가지 경우에 대하여 유한요소해석과 시험생산한 결과를 토대로 작성되었다. 실물 크기의 형상링롤링 작업을 수행하고 충진한계식을 이용한 예측과 비교함으로써 제안된 방법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Fiber reinforced plastic composites is widely used to make be lightening of aircraft and automotive owing to having high specific strength and specific modulus. And it is very important to know a charge shape in order to have good products in the compression molding. In particular, the product such as a bumper beam is composed of the random and unidirectional composite mats. Its deformation and charge shape are very different by stack type of random and unidirectional mats. In this paper, the characteristics of flow fronts such as a bulging phenomenon for step-type random/unidirectional composite mats and slip parameters are studied numerically. And the effects of viscosity ratio and stack type on the mold filling parameters are also discussed.

A 3-D finite element model combined with a volume tracking method is presented in this work to simulate the mold filling for casting processes. Especially, the analysis involves an adaptive grid method that is created under a criterion of element categorization of filling states and locations in the total region at each time step. By using an adaptive grid wherein the elements, finer than those in internal and external regions, are distributed at the surface region through refinement and coarsening procedures, a more efficient analysis of transient fluid flow with free surface is achieved. Adaptive grid based on VOF method is developed in tetrahedral element system. Through a 3-D analysis of the benchmark test of the casting process, the efficiency of the proposed adaptive grid method is verified. Developed FE code is applied to a typical industrial part of the casting process such as aluminum road wheel.

In the present study, the stencil printing process using solder paste are numerically analyzed. The key design parameters in the stencil printing process are the printing conditions, stencil design, and solder paste properties. Among these parameters, the effects of printing conditions including the squeegee angle and squeegee pressure are investigated through finite element (FE) analysis. However, the FE analysis for the stencil printing process requires tremendous computational loads and time because this process carries micro-filling through thousands of micro-apertures in stencil. To overcome this difficulty in simulation, the present study proposes a two-step approach to sequentially perform the global domain analysis and the local domain analysis. That is, the pressure development under the squeegee are firstly calculated in the full analysis domain through the global analysis. The filling stage of the solder paste into a micro-aperture is then analyzed in the local analysis domain based on the results of the preceding global analysis.

Flow with moving free surfaces is analyzed with an the Eulerian coordinate system. This study proposes a semi-implicit filling algorithm using VOF in which the PLIC (Piecewise Linear Interface Calculation) -type interface reconstruction method and the donor-acceptor-type front advancing scheme are adopted. Also, a new scheme using extrapolation of the stream function is proposed to find the velocity of the node that newly enters the computational domain. The effect of wall boundary conditions on the flow field and temperature field is examined by numerically solving a two-dimensional casting process.

This study was performed to use fiber mixed soil which has clayey soil or sandy soil with fibrillated fiber or monofilament fiber on purpose of construction materials, filling materials, and back filling materials. In addition, this study was conducted to analyze strength properties and fiber reinforcing effect with fiber mixed soil by direct-shear test. In case of fibrillated fiber mixed soil, the more quantity of fiber was in both cohesive soil and sandy soil, the larger shear stress was in respective step of normal load. The respective mixed soil at 0.5% and 0.1% mixing ratio of monofilament fiber mixed soil showed maximum shear stress. According to unconfined compression or direct-shear test, making specimen of the monofilament fiber mixed soil, it is required to be careful and stable mixing method, while it is expected that monofilament fiber mixed soil doesn't increase strength.
