An optimum structural design system for double hull oil tankers is developed based on the generalized slope deflection method which was previously proposed by the authors. For the optimization technique, the Hooke & Jeeves direct search method is applied to the minimum weight design problems with discrete design variables. A minimum weight design program is developed for the longitudinal members by the classification rules and for the transverse frames and the bulkhead members by the generalized slope deflection method. By this program, a minimum hull weight design of double hull oil tankers considering tank arrangement is performed and the design results are compared with existing ship. It is possible to find optimum tank arrangement and efficient types of hull structures for the minimum weight design of double hull oil tankers.

Beam stiffeners have frequently been used for raising natural frequencies of base structures. In stiffener layout optimization problems, most of the previous researches considering the position and/or the length of the stiffener as design variables dealt with structures having just simple convex shapes such as a square or rectangle. The reason is concave shape structures have difficulties ill formulating geometry constraints. In this paper, a new geometry constraint handling technique, which can define both convex and concave feasible lesions and measure a degree of geometry constraint violation, is proposed. Evolution strategies (ESs) is utilized as an optimization tool. In addition, the constraint-handling technique of EVOSLINOC (EVOlution Strategy for scalar optimization with Lineal and Nonlinear Constraints) is utilized to solve constrained optimization problems. From a numerical example, the proposed geometry constraint handling technique is verified and proves that the technique can easily be applied to structures in net only convex but also concave shapes, even with a protrusion or interior holes.

For a floating offshore plant such as FPSO(Floating, Production, Storage, and Off-loading unit), various equipment should be installed in the restricted space, as compared with an onshore plant. The requirement for an optimal layout method of the plant has been increased in these days. Thus, a layout method of the floating offshore plant was proposed in this study. For this, an optimization problem for layout design was mathematically formulated, and then an optimization algorithm based on the genetic algorithm was implemented with C++ language in order to solve it. Finally, the proposed method was applied to an example of FPSO topsides. As a result, it was shown that the proposed method can be applied to layout design of the floating offshore plant such as FPSO.

Recently, there are an increased the number of reports on the misuse or malicious use of an UAS. Thus, many researchers are studying on defense schemes for UAS by developing or improving C-UAS sensor technology. However, the wrong placement of sensors may lead to a defense failure since the proper placement of sensors is critical for UAS defense. In this study, a multi-object optimization model for C-UAS sensor placement in an air base is proposed. To address the issue, we define two objective functions: the intersection ratio of interested area and the minimum detection range and try to find the optimized placement of sensors that maximizes the two functions. C-UAS placement model is designed using a NSGA-II algorithm, and through experiments and analyses the possibility of its optimization is verified.

국산 크라이오 펌프를 개발하는 사업이 1단계 3년을 지나 올해 2단계에 접어들었다. 그동안 기계연을 중심으로 맥동관형 냉동기 개발에 주력하면서 저온성능 향상에서 큰 진전을 보였고 2단계에서는 우성진공의 주도하에 펌프의 상용화를 목표로 하고 있다. 펌프는 냉동기 뿐만 아니라 활성탄 어레이와 열차폐 및 배플이 잘 설계되어야 최적의 배기성능을 나타낼 수 있다. 우선은 펌프의 목표성능을 좀 더 구체화할 필요가 있고, 각 부품들의 상세한 형상결정에 앞서 개략적인 배치설계에 대해 성능을 예측하여 목표성능과 비교하고 설계를 수정하는 것을 반복하여 전반적으로 구조설계의 최적화를 완성하는 것이 급선무이다. 본 발표에서는 이런 구조설계 최적화 작업의 처음 결과와 개발중인 크라이오 펌프의 최종 성능 목표치에 대해 소개한다.

Button layout of mobile phone depends on the manufacturer and is going to be characterized in it's own way. So, there is not a standard layout except for numeric part. It is due to the lack of study on physical user interface and methodology to develop a design guideline. This study focuses on suggesting a methodology for development of button layout for mobile phone in term of physical user interface. The methodology of this study starts from scenarios of mobile phone usage. Operational sequences of 4 scenarios for 5 models are gathered based on the user manual. Proximity of each buttons is calculated according to the operational sequence. One of 5 models is selected and benchmarked by evaluating operational path. Considerations and directions are implicated to develop new solution alternatives. After evaluation of them, one of alternatives is suggested as an optimized button layout for mobile phone. This study focuses on an attempt to suggest a methodology of UI development in the matter of physical user interface, and a simple and easy way to be adopted and used at product designer level, compared to existing UI methodology for the expert.

To produce plastic parts that have fine pattern through conventional injection molding, a lot of difficulties follow. Therefore, rapid heating and cooling methods are good candidates for manufacturing injection-molded parts with micro/nano patterns. In this study, we adopted the E-Mold patent technology. The mold for E-Mold technology has a separate heated core with micro heaters. It is very important to optimize the lay-out of the heaters in heated core because it influences both control and distribution of mold temperature. We developed a optimization method of heating line lay-out by using commercial softwares and compared the output with the experimental results. We used Pro-Engineer Wildfire 2.0 for the mold design, ICEMCFD for mesh generation, and FLUENT for heat transfer simulation. The simulation results showed the temperature profile from $60^{\circ}C$ to $120^{\circ}C$ or $180^{\circ}C$ during heating and cooling process which were compared with the injection molding experiments. We concluded that the simulation could well explain the experimental results. It was shown that the E-Mold optimization design for heater lay-out could be available through the simulation.

Nesting and cutting path optimization have a great effect on price competitions and improvement of productivity in various industries such as the shipbuilding, the auto, the clothing, and so on. But the theoretical approach on the development of cutting path optimization algorithm, which can be applied effectively in the shipbuilding, has not been performed enough because parts are so complex and various. In this study, a new solution has been presented to solve the cutting path problem in 2-D cutting by using improved genetic algorithm. The presented optimization algorithm can search not only the cutting sequence of parts but also the position of piercing point by applying the effective neighborhood solution generating method

We propose an optimization method for PCB assembly lines including multiple surface mounters. To increase the productivity of PCB assembly line, the component allocation, feeder assignment, and assembly sequence of each surface mounter should be optimized. The optimization Problem is formulated as an integer programming problem. We divide the overall problem into two hierarchical sub-problems: forward-path problem and backward-path problem. The clustering algorithm and branch-and-bound algorithm are applied to solve the forward-path problem. The assignment algorithm and connection algorithm are applied to solve the backward-path problem. Simulation results are presented to verify the usefulness of the proposed method.
