The Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm has been successfully applied to various difficult combinatorial optimization problems. Since the performance of a SA algorithm, generally depends on values of the parameters, it is important to select the most appropriate parameter values. In this paper the SA algorithm is optimally designed for performance acceleration, by using the Taguchi method. Several test problems are solved via the SA algorithm optimally designed, and the solutions obtained are compared to solution results McMullen & Frazier(2000). The performance of the SA algorithm is evaluated in terms of solution quality and computation times. Computational results show that the proposed SA algorithm is effective and efficient in finding near-optimal solutions.

Taguchi's robust design methodology has focus only a single characteristic or response, but the quality of most products is seldom defined by a characteristics, and is rather the composite of a family of characteristics which are often interrelated and nearly always measured in a variety of units. The multiple characteristics problem is how to compromise the conflicts among the selected levels of the design parameters for each individual characteristic. In this paper, Methodology using SN ratio optimized by univariate technique is proposed and a parameter design procedure to achive the optimal compromise among several different response variables is developed. One new case studies are solved by the proposed method and the results are compared with ones by the sum of SN ratios, the expected weighted loss, the desirability function, and EXTOPSIS model.

In this Paper, We study on establish for unit of measure. Quality means abstract for customer needs. we surveyed unit of measurement of quality feature of Juran, Taguchi, 6 sigma method. We suggest unit of measurement of quality feature. Each enterprise can use defining own unit of measurement of quality feature. Effect is expected in enterprise that these proposals do quality control. There is meaning in direction that measuring mean of quality feature that propose in this treatise understands actuality to be deeply and reconcile exact point of theory.

In probabilistic design, the challenge is to estimate the uncertainty propagation, since outputs of subsystems at lower levels could constitute inputs of other systems or at higher levels of the multilevel systems. Three uncertainty propagation estimation techniques are compared in this paper in terms of numerical efficiency and accuracy: root sum square (linearization), distribution-based moment approximation, and Taguchi-based integration. When applied to reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) under uncertainty, it is investigated which type of applications each method is best suitable for. Two nonlinear analytical examples and one vehicle crashworthiness for side-impact simulation example are employed to investigate the unique features of the presented techniques for uncertainty propagation. This study aims at helping potential users to identify appropriate techniques for their applications in the multilevel design.

본 논문에서는 태양광 인버터에서 전력 품질 개선을 위해서 사용되는 LCL 필터의 설계 방법을 제시한다. 제안된 방법은 생산 품질의 질을 향상시키기 위해 산업체에서 사용되고 있는 다구치 방법론을 이용한다. 기존 설계에서 고려되던 출력 전력 품질(THD), 인덕터의 크기뿐만 아니라 태양광 인버터의 손실, 광량 변화로 인한 입력 조건의 변화, 출력 전압의 변화를 고려하여 설계한다. 설계 결과는 설계 목표 기능 변수를 향상시키고 동시에 그 변동량을 최소화할 수 있다.

In this study 72 different high strength concrete (HSC) mixes were produced according to the Taguchi design of experiment method. The specimens were divided into four groups based on the range of their compressive strengths 40-60, 60-80, 80-100 and 100-125 MPa. Each group included 18 different concrete mixes. The slump and air-content values of each mix were measured at the production time. The compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and water absorption properties were obtained at 28 days. Using this data the Genetic Programming technique was used to construct models to predict mechanical properties of HSC based on its constituients. These models, together with the cost data, were then used with a Genetic Algorithm to obtain an HSC mix that has minimum cost and at the same time meets all the strength and workability requirements. The paper describes details of the experimental results, model development, and optimization results.

In the study, a design methodology for robust minimization of a warpage in injection-molded part is presented. Taguchi's parameter design method is integrated with a computer simulation tool for injection molding to search for best design with robustness against the process variability by noises. The proposed methodology is based on a two-stage process: (1) reducing a warpage in the part by optimizing the part geometry including the layout and size of ribs, and (2) additionally minimizing the warpage by optimizing process conditions. An example is used to illustrate the usefulness of the design methodology.

For a R410A-rolling piston type rotary compressor model which was modified by reducing the cylinder height and shaft eccentricity from R22-compressor version, numerical simulation has been carried out and simulation results have been found to be compared fairly well with those of measurements. EER of this first version of R410A compressor was 4.8% lower than that of R22 compressor. To improve the performance of the R410A compressor model, parametric study on the design parameters related to the discharge port system has been performed by using the numerical simulation program, and optimum conditions for the highest EER have been obtained with the aid of Taguchi method. With the optimized discharge port configuration, EER has been improved by 1.7%.

This study shows the improvement of PR-Ashing rates in semi-conductor process using Atmospheric Plasma. Taguchi method is used to improve Ashing rates of photo-resist that is spread on the surface of a wafer. Improvement of Ashing rates is acquired through the decision of the effective factors and suitable combination of the factors. The results show the contribution rate of each factor and the effectiveness of Plasma for PR-Ashing process in this system.

Stabilized Zirconia (3 mol % Yttria, 3Y-TZP) was joined with intermetallic compound NiTi which has similar thermal expansion coefficient. The optimum bonding condition was determined by the Taguchi Method. Under the optimum bonding condition, the 4-point bending strength was as high as 400 MPa. bonding interfaces were examined by optical microscope, SEM, and TEM; reaction products were identified by XRD and TEM, The relationship between products and strength was examined.
