In this paper, the optimal design of a spring-type gravity compensation system for an articulated robot is presented. Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) is adopted to resolve various nonlinear constraints in spring design such as stress, buckling, and fatigue constraints, and to reduce computation time. In addition, continuous relaxation method is used to explain the integer-valued design variables. The simulation results show that the gravity compensation system designed by proposed method improves the performance effectively without additional weight gain in the main workspace.

Due to increasing legal and market demands for safety in the automotive design process, the design of integrated seat is important more and mote because it should satisfy the conflict between stronger and lower weight for safety and environmental demands. In this study for crash simulations, the numerical simulations have been carried out using the explicit finite element program LS-Dyna according to the FMVSS 210 standard for safety test of seat. Since crash simulations are very time-consuming and a series of simulations that does not lead to a better result is very costly, the optimization method must be both efficient and reliable. As a result of that, statistical approaches such as design of experiments and response surface model have been successfully implemented to reduce time-consuming LS-Dyna simulations and optimize the safety and environmental demands together with nonlinear optimization algorithm. Design of experiments is used lot exploring the design space of maximum displacement and total weight and for building response surface models in order to minimize the maximum displacement and total weight of integrated seat.

In this paper, we propose a optimization approach for the Electric Locomotive Overhaul Maintenance Facility (ELOMF), which aims at the simulation optimization so as to meet the design specification. In simulation design, we consider the critical path and sensitivity analysis of the critical (dependent) factors and the design (independent) parameters for the parameter selection and reduction of the metamodel. Therefore, we construct the multi-objective non-linear programming. The objective function is normalized for the generalization of design parameter while the constraints are composed of the simulation-based regression metamodel for the critical factors and design factor's domain. Then the effective solution procedure based on the pareto optimal solution set is proposed. This approach provides a comprehensive approach for the optimization of Train Overhaul Maintenance Facility(TOMF)'s design parameters using the simulation and metamoels.

비접촉 선형 영구자석 기어는 직선 추력을 요구하는 반송 장치에서 모터의 회전운동을 직선 운동으로 변환하는 기계적인 변환 장치와 달리 마찰에 의한 손실과 소음 및 진동이 적고 윤활유와 유지 보수가 불필요하다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 물리적 접촉 방식을 사용하는 기계적인 변환장치에 비해 비접촉 방식을 사용하는 영구자석 기어는 상대적으로 낮은 전달추력능력을 가진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비접촉 선형 영구자석 기어의 양측 가동자 사이에서 추력을 전달하는 Pole Piece의 특성을 파악하고, Pole Piece형상의 제안 및 최적 설계를 통해 낮은 전달추력능력을 향상시키고자 한다.

Optimal methods for designing multiplierless IIR filters with cascaded prefilter-equalizer structures are proposed for narrowband applications. Assuming that an U filter consists of a cyclotomic Polynomial (CP) prefilter and an all-Pole equalizer based on interpolated first order polynomial (IFOP), in the proposed method the prefilter and equalizer are simultaneously designed using mixed integer linear programming (MILP). The resulting filter is a cascaded filter with minimal complexity. In addition, MtP tries to minimize both computational complexity and phase response non-linearity. Design examples demonstrate that the proposed methods produce a more efficient cascaded prefilter-equalizer than existing methods.

This paper proposes a density method based topology optimization of a perpendicular magnetic recording system design in which the saturation effect is taken into account. During the topology optimization process in magnetic fields, the magnetic reluctivity is updated in accordance with the changes in element density determined by a sensitivity analysis. The magnetic reluctivity is determined from a B-H curve and is used to represent nonlinear material property, i.e., the saturation effect. The sensitivity for a generalized response functional is formulated using the adjoint variable method in which the nonlinear property is taken into account and the objective function is set such that the magnetic energy in the media is maximized. Effects due to the nonlinear property can be observed from a numerical study in which the linear and the nonlinear topology optimization results are compared.

Optimal aerodynamic design for the pitch-controlled horizontal axis wind turbine and its aerodynamic performance for various pitch angles are performed numerically by using the blade element momentum theory. The numerical calculation includes effects such as Prandtl‘s tip loss, airfoil distribution, and wake rotation. Six different airfoils are distributed along the blade span, and the special airfoil i.e. airfoil of 40% thickness ratio is adopted at the hub side to have structural integrity. The nonlinear chord obtained from the optimal design procedure is linearized to decrease the weight and to increase the productivity with very little change of the aerodynamic performance. From the comparisons of the power, thrust, and torque coefficients with corresponding values of different pitch angles, the aerodynamic performance shows delicate changes for just $3^{\circ}$ increase or decrease of the pitch angle. For precisive pitch control, it requires the pitch control algorithm and its drive mechanism below $3^{\circ}$ increment of pitch angle. The maximum torque is generated when the speed ratio is smaller than the designed one.

Conventional SAW duplexer filters employ a 1/4 wavelength transmission line, which causes difficulty in fabrication of the strip line on the package. Its manufacturing process is also complicated, because it needs integrating process of the separate transmitting filter, receiving filter and isolation circuits. This paper concerns development of a new structure of the duplexer filter that has all the transmitting filter, the receiving filter and the isolation circuit as a one chip device. For composition of the duplexer, we design the component SAW ladder filters and the isolation network consisting of lumped inductor and capacitor elements. Performance of the whole duplexer is optimized by the nonlinear multivariable minimization of a proper target function, and the result is compared with that of commercial filters.

로켓의 노즐의 확대부와 같은 내열특성 증진이 필요한 곳에 주로 적용되어온 Involute 구조는 얇은 두께의 fabric 프리 프레그룰 일정한 패턴에 맞추어 재단한 후 적층하여 제작되어진다. 이렇게 제작된 노즐 확대부와 같은 구조물은 내삭마 및 구조 특성이 향상되고, 적층 및 성형 중 발생하는 링클과 보이드도 많이 예방할 수 있는 장점을 가진 것으로 알려져 있다. 이와 같은 장점 때문에 60년대부터 제작되어 노즐 확대부에 적용되어온 Involute 구조는 기하학적 복잡성으로 인해서 본질적으로 구조물의 비등방성 및 비균질성을 수반하게 되며, 이에 따른 열 및 구조해석의 어려움이 존재하게 된다. 70년대 Pagano에 의해서 그 기하학적복잡성이 수학적으로 규명되기 시작하여 80년대 가장 활발한 구조해석이 수행되어 노즐의 설계에 적용되었으며, 90년대 들어와서는 비선형 해석 및 최적설계 기법을 도입한 Involute 구조물의 기하학적 형상 및 구조적 최적화가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 국내에서는 아직까지 Involute 구조의 구조해석이 생소한 분야로서, 앞에서 언급한 일련의 진행 과정과 특징 등을 요약 및 정리할 필요가 있다 따라서, 본 발표는 비등방성 및 비균질성의 Involute 구조물에 대한 구조해석 기법들을 파악하고 그 적용 방법을 생각해 보고자 한다.
