The determination of roll speeds in continuous rolling system is an important factor along with the design of roll profile and roll gap. The tensile force on the workpiece induces reduced cross section area and the compressive force induces wrinkles. To determine the optimal roll speeds of current rough rolling system for wire rod, FE analysis was performed. We could predict the workpiece shape and the stress level more precisely by considering the elasto-plastic behavior of workpiece. Also the efficient analysis methodology is presented to reduce the calculation time by combining the ALE and lagrangian method.

Recently, the matter controlling lateral drift is important in high rise buildings, In particular, seismic control dampers, such as mass damper and hysteretic damper, are emerging in the field of actively reducing drift. But. seismic control dampers have weak points with the lack of quantitative analysis and maintenance of the device. Accordingly, in this study we examine the structural characteristic of Steel Elasto-Plastic Hysteretic Damper, which is needless of maintenance, and then consider the basic conditions in the design and construction of the optimal seismic control effect which uses this device.

In the present study, the characteristic of warpage and flow balance for family mould, which is able to mold parts with different shapes in a mold, is considered. To obtain an optimal gate and runner system, plastic injection molding analysis with commercial code is performed. Design and manufacturing of family mould is then carried out on the basis of this computer aided engineering result. Flow balance and warpage comparisons between experiment and numerical analysis give good agreement with each other. However, it was shown that results of warpage measured by CMM was about $20\~55\%$ lower than those of numerical analysis.

The present work is investigated optimal design for the injection molding process of a hand brake cover. The viscoelastic flow through a hand brake cover shape in the mold were calculated and compared with the experimental data. Numerical analysis reasonably predicted the general performance i.e hold pressure, cooling time and hold pressure time. In order to determine optimal process parameters, Numerical analysis and experiments have been performed for various process conditions. In this study, we obtained to increase in the productivity by $160\%$ by optimal process conditions.

High pressure storage of the agent gas in fire suppression system was composed of tank, main valve and safety valve, which prevents the fracture of the high pressure storage. The safety valve has circular thin plate as fracture plate that was destroyed over fracture pressure. When inner pressure of the storage is reached the fracture pressure, the safety valve discharges gas and degrades simultaneously the inner pressure of the storage. There are design variables such as flow path diameter, inner diameter of the plastic packing ring, thickness of plate and fillet radius. In this variables, thickness of plate is set to be a value of 0.2mm. The main effect of variables on the inner pressure, has been decided using factorial design and statistical analysis. Therefore, the relation of variables are expressed by regression equation. It is disclosed results that the difference of fracture pressures between the equation and experiment has $2{\sim}5%$. Finally, using response surface method, the optimal design of the safety valve could be decided with safety pressure of 25MPa, where the fracture occurs on circular thin plate.

A GA-based optimum design algorithm and a program for plane steel frame structures with semi-rigid connections are presented. The algorithm is incorporated with the refined plastic hinge analysis method wherein geometric nonlinearity is considered by using the stability functions of beam-column members, and material nonlinearity, by using the gradual stiffness degradation model that includes the effects of residual stresses, moment redistribution through the occurrence of plastic hinges, semi-rigid connections, and geometric imperfection of members. In the genetic algorithm, the tournament selection method and micro-GAs are employed. The fitness function for the genetic algorithm is expressed as an unconstrained function composed of objective and penalty functions. The objective and penalty functions are expressed as the weight of steel frames and the constraint functions, respectively. In particular, the constraint functions fulfill the requirements of load-carrying capacity, serviceability, ductility, and construction workability. To verify the appropriateness of the present method, the optimal design results of two plane steel frames with rigid and semi-rigid connections are compared.

Pressure distribution around rotating impeller blades in centrifugal pump has been main issue for design of efficient and high performance automotive water pump. In addition, pressure losses of inlet water pipes should be considered to reduce additional pressure drop and design high performance engine cooling system. In this paper, pressure distribution inside water pump and pressure drop between inlet and outlet of water pump are investigated numerically to design plastic water pump for clean diesel engine application. And the inlet geometry of water pump was considered to analysis the effect of inlet water pipe geometry on pressure distribution around impeller blades and outlet pressure. The prediction results are compared with experimental data to validate and determine optimal operation condition without water pump cavitation. Major design parameters such as blade angle, volute geometry, system pressure, and coolant flow rate are considered to confirm applying possibility of plastic blades to the clean diesel engine.

In this study, we conducted a study on the optimization of injection molding conditions to minimize deformation of plastic product. The charging management system housing of the vehicle was selected as the research subject. Melting temperature, cooling temperature, packing time, and packing pressure were selected as the main factors expected to affect the deformation of molded products. Each main factor was divided into 5 levels. Optimization of injection molding conditions to minimize deformation was performed using the Taguchi Method. We performed an analysis of variance (ANOVA) to identify significant factors affecting the deformation of plastic product. In order to select injection molding conditions that minimize deformation of plastic products, injection molding analysis was additionally performed for insignificant factors. We then compared the deformation of the molded part before and after optimization. As a result of comparing the injection analysis results of the basic conditions and the injection analysis results of the optimal conditions, it was confirmed that the amount of deformation after optimization was improved by about 10.9%.

A new design based on the appropriate geometry of molded part and type of runner system under the optimal processing conditions was proposed to minimize the micro weld lines on the sub deco surface molded by two shot molding. Theoretical and experimental studies were conducted to examine the cause of the weld lines during the overmolding process in two shot molding. Various dimensions and geometries of substrate$(1^{st}shot)$ and the wall thickness of overmold$(2^{nd}shot)$ have been proposed to avoid the weld lines which are the most inevitable appearance defects occurred on the sub deco. The each design proposal was analyzed by mold flow analysis after part modeling. The analysis results were compared with molded part from mass production tool. It could be seen that from the analysis that the proper geometry of plastic part and type of runner system considering pressure drop under the optimal processing conditions were the most influential factors to avoid weld lines occured on the sub deco.
