A general formulation for shape design sensitivity analysis over a plane arch structure is developed based on a variational formulation of curved beam in linear elasticity. Sensitivity formula is derived using the material derivative concept and adjoint variable method for the stress defined at a local segment. Obtained sensitivity expression, which can be computed by simple algebraic manipulation of the solution variables, is well suited for numerical implementation since it does not involve numerical differentiation. Due to the complete description for the shape and its variation of the arch, the formulation can manage more complex design problems with ease and gives better optimum design than before. Several examples are taken to show the advantage of the method, in which the accuracy of the sensitivity is evaluated. Shape optimization is also conducted with two design problems to illustrate the excellent applicability.

A continuum-based design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method fur non-shape problems is developed for geometrically nonlinear elastic structures. The non-shape problem is characterized by the design variables that are not associated with the domain of system like sizing, material property, loading, and so on. Total Lagrangian formulation with the Green-Lagrange strain and the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress is employed to describe the geometrically nonlinear structures. The spatial domain is discretized using the 4-node isoparametric plane stress/strain elements. The resulting nonlinear system is solved using the Newton-Raphson iterative method. To take advantage of the derived analytical sensitivity In topology optimization, a fast and efficient design sensitivity analysis method, adjoint variable method, is employed and the material property of each element is selected as non-shape design variable. Combining the design sensitivity analysis method and a gradient-based design optimization algorithm, an automated design optimization method is developed. The comparison of the analytical sensitivity with the finite difference results shows excellent agreement. Also application to the topology design optimization problem suggests a very good insight for the layout design.

The numerical analysis of energy and material balance, and plant performance has been carried out when applying the heavy residual oil instead of heavy oil to the existing heavy oil power station. The performance analysis model has been constructed for A heavy oil power station in Korea, and the modeling results were compared with the design data in order to ensure the validity of the model, and further compared with the plant operation data. With the heavy residual oil, the simulation gave 315 MW in power output, which is higher than that of the heavy oil combustion, but the plant efficiency turned out to be lower. The sensitivity analysis of heat rate for the changes in cooling water and ambient temperature, flue gas recirculation and power output has provided valuable information for the optimal operation of the power station.

상수도시설 중 배수관망시설은 해당 지역의 영향을 민감하게 받는 시설이므로 설계시 해당시설의 특성을 충분히 고려해야 한다. 배수시설은 설치된 해당지역에 따라 그 특성이 매우 다르기 때문에, 설계지표 또한 해당 도시마다 다르게 설정될 수 있다. 도시의 규모가 크거나, 그 특성이 해당 구역에 따라 다른 경우에는 같은 도시의 경우라도 대상구역에 따라 다른 지표를 사용하는 경우도 있다. 따라서 이런 상수도관망의 설계 및 관리를 위해서는 장기간 현장여건에 맞는 관측자료를 통한 정밀한 수리분석이 요구되며 국내의 경우 일반적으로 Hazen-Williams 공식을 사용하고, 이때 관내면의 마찰손실계수 C는 유속계수라 한다. 이러한 유속계수는 상수관로의 물리적 특성을 나타내며 관로 내의 흐름해석, 펌프 및 관로의 설계, 최적 운영 방안, 통수능력 및 관 노후도 평가 등에 사용되거나 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소라 평가되고 있다. 또한 다수의 현장 관측 자료를 확보하여도 분기 구간과 펌프 및 밸브 등으로 인한 손실 등의 오차가 발생하므로 유속계수 산정 시 발생되는 많은 오차들을 줄여 보다 신뢰성 있는 유속계수를 산정해야 하고, 현장 관측 자료를 이용하여 유속계수를 산정하기 어려운 구간에 대해서는 관망해석 모델링을 통하여 결정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전주권 광역상수도의 계통 특성에 맞는 관로의 유속계수를 결정하기 위해 관리주체에서 기존에 설치한 수압계와 유량계 및 관망도를 이용하여 기초자료를 수집하고 Hazen-Williams 공식을 이용하여 유속계수를 산정하였다. 계산된 상수관로 유속계수는 전주시의 10개 계통에서 최소 107.06, 최대 145.02, 평균 127로 계산되었으며, 유속계수에 영향을 미치는 물리적 요소들의 관계를 파악하고자 상관성 분석 실행하였다. 그 결과 관경과 경과년수의 상관계수 R은 0.011 관경과 유속계수의 상관계수는 -0.009로 두변수간의 상관성이 거의 없고, 경과년수와 유속계수의 상관계수는 -0.776로 음의 상관성을 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. 이와 같이 제시한 유속계수는 해당 지역의 참고자료나 기준으로서 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되며 비 대상 지역에서도 현장자료가 부족한 곳의 유속계수를 산정할 경우 보다 신뢰성 있게 유속계수를 산정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

The present study proposes the optimization of wing structure base on reduced model which assures the solution accuracy and computational efficiency. Well-constructed reduced model assures the accurate result in the eigenvalue problem, dynamic analysis or sensitivity of design optimization. Reduced system is classified into the reduce-order model based on structural modes and the reduced system based on degrees of freedom. Because this study uses the reduced system based on degrees of freedom, it is important to select the dominant degrees of freedom properly. For this work, robust selection method, two-level selection scheme, is employed and IRS(Improved Reduced System) is applied to construct the final reduced system. In the optimization process based on the reduced system, all of the equivalent stress, eigenvalue and design sensitivities are calculated from the reduced system. Through a numerical example, it is shown that the present optimization methodology based on the reduction method can provide an optimal results for objective function satisfying constraint condition.

The design and construction of underground structures contain many substantial mincer dainties. A reasonable estimation of geotechnical parameters is of paramount importance and must be one of the most difficult tasks in designing and constructing underground structures. If the plastic zone exists by tunnel excavation, the ground response may also be dependent on the yield criterion mainly composed of strength parameters. In order to estimate unknown model parameters from the in-situ measurements as well as prior estimates for designing tunnels which have plastic zones, the Extended Bayesian Method(EBM) is adopted : an elasto-plastic finite element program is linked to the EBM as a mathematical model to predict the ground response. Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion is used to represent the plastic behavior. A hypothetical underground site, where the ground behaves elasto-plastically, is adopted to demonstrate the validity of the proposed feedback system.

The overdrive hub clutch is attached to a 6-speed automatic transmission to reduce fuel consumption by using the additional power of the engine. This paper proposes a means to minimize the load and roll-over ratio on the punch during the piercing process for the overdrive hub clutch product. Die clearance, shear angle, and friction coefficient, which can affect the load and roll-over ratio of the punch during processing, were set as the design variables. Sensitivity analysis was also conducted to determine the influence of each design variable on the punch load and roll-over ratio. As a result, shear angle, friction coefficient and die clearance were found to be sensitive to load and roll-over ratio. The punch load and roll-over ratio were set as the objective function and the equation of each design variable and objective function was derives using the Response Surface Method. Finally, the optimal value of the design variables was derived using the Response Surface Method. Application of this model to finite element analysis resulted in 22.14% improvement in the roll-over ratio of the punch load and material.

Predicting the behavior of rheological polymers is highly shear rate- and temperature-dependent. The Cross-WLF viscosity model has become a powerful solution that describes the shear rate- and temperature-dependent characteristics. To estimate the behavior of polymers in computational simulations, the coefficients of the Cross-WLF model should be well identified. An identification technique was proposed to determine the Cross-WLF viscosity model coefficient. The assumption is that the Cross-WLF viscosity model well describes the real characteristics of polymers when the calculated viscosity with the parameters is identical to the reference data. In this study, Auto-desk Moldflow data were used as a reference. The numerical examples showed that the proposed method accurately identifies the Cross-WLF viscosity model coefficients.

This study aims to develop an analysis model using a commercial process simulator-ASPEN PLUS for an IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) system consisting a dry coal feeding, oxygen-blown entrained gasification process by Shell, a low temperature gas clean up process, a General Electric MS7001FA gas turbine, a three pressure, natural recirculation heat recovery steam generator, a regenerative, condensing steam turbine and a cryogenic air separation unit. The comparison between those results of this study and reference one done by other engineer at design conditions shows consistency which means the soundness of this model. The greater moisture contents in Illinois#6 coal causes decreasing gasifier temperature and the greater ash and sulfur content hurt system efficiency due to increased heat loss. As the results of sensitivity analysis using developed model for the parameters of gasifier operating pressure, steam/coal ratio and oxygen/coal ratio, the gasifier temperature increases while combustible gases (CO＋H2) decreases throughout the pressure going up. In the steam/coal ratio analysis, when the feeding steam increases the maximum combustible gas generation point moves to lower oxygen/coal ratio feeding condition. Finally, for the oxygen/coal ratio analysis, it shows oxygen/coal ratio 0.77 as a optimum operating condition at steam/coal feeding ratio 0.2.
