High-speed feed drive systems have been widely used in the manufacturing and semiconductor industries. Specifications for high-speed systems require more advanced capabilities than conventional feed drive systems. It is necessary to devise special design concepts to achieve the level of performance for high-speed feed drive systems. In this paper, an integrated design method is proposed for high-speed feed drive systems in which the interactions between mechanical and electrical subsystems ought to be considered simultaneously during the design process. Based on the integrated design method, a nonlinear optimal design procedure of mechanical subsystems considering the Abbe and radius errors is accomplished through the design process of electrical subsystems satisfying the control stability and the saturation condition of actuators as well as the relative stability. Both mechanical and electrical parameters are considered as design variables. Simulations and numerical case studies show that the integrated design method of high-speed feed drive systems creates results satisfying the desired performances of mechatronic systems.

A new approach to process optimal design in non-isothermal, non-steady state metal forming is presented. In this approach, the optimal design problem is formulated on the basis of the integrated thermo-mechanical finite element process model so as to cover a wide range of the objective functions and design variables, and the derivative based approach is adopted for conducting optimization by design iteration. The process model, the formulation for process optimal design, and the procedures for the evaluation of the design sensitivity and for design iteration for optimization are described.

이 논문에서는 구조물의 내진성능 향상을 위한 방법으로서 구조부재 및 수동형 감쇠기의 통합최적설계기법을 제시한다. 이는 구조부재 및 감쇠기의 최적배치를 다루는 최적화기법이다. 통합시스템의 최적설계를 위하여 다목적최적화기법을 도입하고, 이를 보다 효율적으로 다루기 위하여 목표신뢰성 제한조건을 갖는 다목적최적화문제로 재구성하였다. 수치해석 예제를 통하여 다양한Pareto 최적해를 제시하였으며, 이들이 기존 설계방법에 상응하는 순차적 설계방법 및 가중합방법에 따른 단일목적함수 최적화방법을 포괄함을 검증하였다. 여러 Pareto 최적해로부터 강성 및 감쇠장치의 사용량을 달리하는 3가지 대표설계안을 선택하고 이들의 내진성능을 다양한 지진하중에 대하여 비교 분석하였다. 이로부터 제시하는 방법이 구조물의 내진성능 향상을 위한 설계방법으로서 효율적으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, we introduce a seamlessly integrated CAD-based design system (DS) for CAD modeling, engineering analysis, and optimal design which has been developed in CCED at KAIST, The key points of this integrating philosophy are to make full use of a parametric CAD program as the platform of integration and to adopt finite difference method for design sensitivity analysis in optimization process to get robustness and versatility. Design variables are directly selected by clicking CAD model parameters and all the analysis and design activities are menu-driven. This integrated program, named as DS/FDM, runs on Windows NT or Unix and FE analyses are performed at a remote Unix-workstation for multiple users. Application examples include shape optimal design of a belt clip that fits onto a portable electronic device and a bracket to show performance of DS/FDM with shell and tetra solid elements. This software is found efficient and effective fur shape design and size design of engineering structures.

In this paper, a method to determine the optimal configuration of operating policies in an integrated-automated manufacturing system using the Taguchi method and computer simulation experiments is presented. An integrated-automated manufacturing system called direct-input-output manufacturing system(DIOMS) is described. We only consider the operational aspect of the DIOMS. Four operating policies including input sequencing control, dispatching rule for the storage/retrieval(S/R) machine, machine center-based part type selection rule, and storage assignment policy are treated as design factors. The number of machine centers, the number of part types, demand rate, processing time and the rate of each part type, vertical and horizontal speed of the S/R machine, and the size of a local buffer in the machine centers are considered as noise factors in generating various manufacturing system environment. For the performance characteristics, mean flow time and throughput are adopted. A robust design experiment with inner and outer orthogonal arrays are conducted by computer simulation, and an optimal configuration of operating policies is presented which consists of a combination of the level of each design factor. The validity of the optimal configurations is investigated by comparing their signal-to-noise ratios with those obtained with full factorial designs.

The purpose of this research was to develop an integrated interface for the usability test of systems or products in the design process. It is capable of automatically creating GOMS models which can predict human task performances. It can generate GOMS models to be interacted with the prototype interfaces. It can also effectively manage various design information and various usability test results to be implemented into the new product and/or system design. Thus we can perform usability test for products or system prototypes more effectively and also reduce time and effort required for this test. For usability tests, we established an integrated interface based on GOMS model by the LabVIEW program. We constructed the system that the linkage to GOMS model is available. Using this integrated interface, the menu structure of mobile phone can be constructed easily. User can design a depth and a breath that he want. The size of button and the label of the button is changable. The path to the goal can be defined by the user. Using a designed menu structure, the experiment could be performed. The results of GOMS model and the actual time are presented. Besides, values of operators of GOMS model can be defined as the value that user wants. Using the integrated interface that we developed, the optimal menu structure deducted. The menu structure that user wants can be established easily. The optimal layout and button size can be decided by comparison of numerous menu structures. User can choose the method of usability test among GOMS model and empirical data. Using this integrated interface, the time and costs can be saved and the optimal menu structure can be found easily.

In this paper, a CAD/CAE integrated optimal design system is developed, in which design and analysis process is automated using CAD/CAE softwares for a complex model in which the modeling by parametric feature is not easy to apply. Unigraphics is used for CAD modeling, in which the process is automated by using UG/Knowledge Fusion for modeling itself and UG/Open API function for the other functions respectively. Structural analyses are also carried out automatically by ANSYS using the imported parasolid model. The developed system is applied for the PLS(Plasma Lighting System) consisting of more than 20 components, which is a next generation illumination system that is used to illuminate stadium or outdoor advertizing panel. The analyses include responses by static, wind and impact loads. As a result of analyses, tilt assembly, which is a link between upper and lower body, is found to be the most critical component bearing higher stresses. Experiment is conducted using MTS to validate the analysis result. Optimization is carried out using the software Visual DOC for the tilt assembly to minimize material volume while maintaining allowable stress level. As a result of optimization, the maximum stress is reduced by 57% from the existing design, though the material volume has increased by 21%.
