Abstract

Computer modeling has become indispensable to the engineering process, from initially refining an idea with computer-aided tools to implementing the final steps in manufacturing a product. This thesis addresses the issue of design of a housing of LCD watch. An approach is developed to determine an optimal LCD watch design. An analysis and development of a design of experiment is performed to identify the major controllable variables to performed a statistical significance analysis on different shapes for LCD glass. A housing of LCD watch is modeled using Pro/Engineer (a parametric-based solid modeling system), and different shapes of LCD glass are tested using P3/Patran. A non-destructive static experiment is performed on the LCD. This experiment consisted of measuring the maximum displacement and equivalent stress. Taguchi method was used to analyze this experiment.
