제어이론분야에서의 발전은 그러한 이론을 다방면으로 응요할 수 있는 분야를 더더욱 폭넓게 제공해 주고 있다. 자동화와 관련된 분야뿐만 아니라, 건축 및 토목분야에서도 고도의 제어어이론을 응용한 예를 쉽게 접할 수 있게 되었으며, 지진동에 의한 구조물의 진동을 억제하려는 방책이 그 ??ㅣ다. 이에 관한 많은 연구에서도 알 수 있듯이, 일반적으로 구조물의 수학적 모델에만 의존하여, 즉 구조물의 설계파라미터는 이미 설계되어져 있다는 가정하에 제어계를 설계하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 설계법에 있어서는 설계자로 하여금 구조물의 설계파라미터를 조정할 수 있는 자유도는 전혀 주어지지 않게 되며 단지 제어계의 파라미터를 조정하는 자유도만 허용된다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위해 구조계 및 제어기의 설계파라미터를 동시에 조절할 수 있는 자유도가 허용되는 '구조계/제어계의 동시 최적화' 기법이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 교량의 주탑 및 해양구조물 등의 진동제어 문제에 이러한 설계기법을 이용하여 주어진 설계사양을 만족하도록 구조계 및 제어계의 파라미터를 최적화 한다. 특히 본 논문에서는 제어계 설계 문제에 있어서의 일반적인 경우를 고려하여 상태의 일부가 관측된다고 가정하고 출력피드백의 경우에 대해 고찰하고 있다. 이때의 설계사양은 선형행렬부등식(LMI)으로 주어지며, 실험을 통하여 본 논문에서 소개하는 설계기법의 유효성을 검증한다.

Since the use of computer for the ship structural design around mid 1960``s, specially many researches on the midship section optimum design were carried out from 1980. For a rule-based optimum design case, there has been a problem of handling a discrete design variable such as plate thickness for a practical use. To deal with the discrete design variable problems and to develop an effective new method using artificial neural network for the ship structural design applications, Neuro-Optimizer combing Hopfield Neural Network and other Simulated Annealing is proposed as a new optimization method and then applied to the fundamental skeletal structures and Midship section of Tanker. From the numerical results, it is confirmed that Neuro-Optimizer could be used effectively as a new optimization method for the structural design.

In this study, an optimization method to design the hull structure of the surface effect ships with twin hulls is proposed for the purpose of minimization of weight based on the regulations of DnV class, and computer programs following the method are developed. The method uses simple formulas as to bending and buckling strength of beams and plates to design local structures, and considers the effect of interaction between longitudinal girders and transverse web frames by grillage analysis and calculates torsional strength of the cross structure by the simplified method. Global optimization of the midship section is attained by integration of optimized substructures. According to optimized results by applying the method to the designed ship, reduction of 20 percent of hull weight can be shown, and optimum transverse frame space can be obtained.

Rescaled Simulated Annealing(RSA) has been devised for improving the disadvantage of Simulated Annealing(SA) which requires tremendous amount of computation time. RSA and SA have been for optimization of truss and satellite structures and for comparison of results from two algorithms. Ten bar truss structure which has continuous design variables are optimized.. As a practical application, a satellite structure is optimized by the two algorithms. Weights of satellite upper platform and propulsion module are minimized. MSC/NASTRAN is used for the static and dynamic analysis. The optimization results of the RSA are compared with results of the classical SA. The numbers of optimization iterations could be effectively reduced by the RSA.

This study treats the criteria, considering the fuzziness occurred by optimization design. And we applied two weighting methods to show the relative importance of criteria. This study develops multi-objective optimization programs implementing plain stress analysis by FEM and discrete optimization design uniformaly. The developed program performs a sample design of 10-member steel truss. This study can carry over the multi-objective optimization based on total system fuzzy-genetic algorithms while performing the stress analysis and optimization design. Especially, when general optimization with unreliable constraints is cannot be solve this study can make optimization design closed to realistic with fuzzy theory.

To optimize the design of fuel cylinder for LNG vehicles, we introduced the design parameters of the inner and the outer tank of the vessel support structure by analyzing the structural characteristics of conventional design. We selected the inner and outer diameter of the hollow support bars and a dimension of the inner structure of the vessel among the design parameters for design optimization. In this study the temperature distribution and thermal stress of the support structure were evaluated by using the utility program as MSC/MARC. The evaluation criteria are first mode natural frequency, total transferred energy through support structure and thermal stress. The developed design satisfied the design criteria and it was made of prototype. The prototype was verified through three-dimensional vibration testing and thermal performance test.

Topology optimization problem requires numerous repeated evaluations of objective function and design sensitivity for elements within design domain with various density distributions. The recently proposed two-level condensation scheme(TLCS) is very promising for the construction of reduced system and for an accurate and efficient analysis concerned about eigenvalue and dynamic problems. We used the two-level dynamic condensation scheme for the analysis and sensitivity computation part in the structural topology optimization problem. The results of the topology optimization for the reduced system show the TLCS provides high accuracy and computation efficiency compared to the full scale system within engineering accuracy.

This paper presents the research results of a light weight through topology optimization and structural safety evaluation through structural analysis of a pressure system structure installed in an off-shore plant. Conducting a structure design according to the wind load and the dynamic load at sea in addition to a self-load and structure stability evaluation are very important for structures installed in off-shore plants. In this study, the wind and dynamic load conditions according to the DNV classification rule was applied to the analysis. The topology optimization method was applied to the structure to obtain a lightweight shape. Phase optimization analysis confirmed the stress concentration portion. Topology optimization analysis takes the shape by removing unnecessary elements in the design that have been designed to form a rib shape. Based on the analysis results about the light weight optimal shape, a safety evaluation through structural analysis and suitability of the shape was conducted. This study suggests a design and safety evaluation of an off-shore plant structure that is difficult for structural safety evaluations using an actual test.

With the positive features of simulated annealing algorithms such as simplicity of the algorithm and the possibility of finding global optimum solution, SA algorithm has been widely applied to structural optimization problems. However, the algorithms are far from practical applications in structural design or optimization of building structures due to requirement of a large number of iterations and dependency on cooling schedule and stopping criteria. In this paper, with the modification of annealing process and stopping criteria, a MSA algorithm is presented in the form of two phase annealing process for optimal seismic design of braced structures. The performance of the proposed algorithm has been illustrated in detail.
