Design sensitivity analysis scheme is proposed in an elasto -plastic finite element method with explicit time integration using a direct differentiation method. The direct differentiation is concerned with large deformation, the elasto-plastic constitutive relation, shell elements with reduced integration and the contact scheme. The design sensitivities with respect to the process parameter are calculated with the direct analytical differentiation of the governing equation. The sensitivity results obtained from the present theory are compared with that obtained by the finite difference method in a class of sheet metal forming problems such as hemi-spherical stretching and cylindrical cup deep-drawing. The result shows good agreement with the finite difference method and demonstrates that the preposed sensitivity calculation scheme is a pplicable in the complicated sheet metal forming analysis and design.

본 고에서는 형상최적설계에 대한 기초이론이 소개되었다. 재료도함수와 변분법 및 보조변수법에 기초한 형상설계민감도해석 절차는 까다로우며 함수론 등 많은 수학적인 배경을 필요로 한다. 설계민감도가 구해지면 이 정보를 필요로 하는 최적화 알고리즘을 사용하여 형상에 대한 최적해를 구할 수 있으며 그 과정은 재래식 최적설계시와 같다. 구조물 형상최적설게에 있어 형상(영역)변화의 효과는 대부분 경계에서 수직이동의 형태로 나타난다. 따라서 경계면에서 변위나 응력값 등에 대한 정확한 수치해는 성공적인 형상최적화의 중요한 관건이 된다. 따라서 구조해석을 위한 정확한 유한요소해석방법과 형상함수 그리고 경계를 나타내는 적절한 함수들을 지속적으로 개선할 필요가 있다. 반복설계과정 중에서 영역과 경계가 계속 바뀌므로 설계민감도 수치해의 정확도를 높이기 위해 경계요소법과 유한요소법에 기초를 둔 영역법 등을 사용하기도 한다.

This paper deals with the basic concepts of sensitivity analysis in a time domain for the transient response of a lumped mass system. Sensitivity analysis methods in thme domain for determining the effects of parameter changes on the response of a dynamic system by external excitation are presented. The parametric sensitivity of a lumped mass system in time domain can be investigated using different types of sensitivity functions, including first order standard and percentage sensitivity functions. These sensitivity functions are determined as a function of partial derivatives of system variables taken with respect to system parameters. In addition, we compared the results of the analytical method by direct method and those of numerical methods.

In this paper, we proposed a new algorithm of the inverse scattering for the reconstruction of unknown dielectric scatterers using the finite-difference time-domain method and the design sensitivity analysis. We introduced the design sensitivity analysis based on the gradient for the fast convergence of the reconstruction. By introducing the adjoint variable method for the efficient calculation, we derived the adjoint variable equation. As an optimal algorithm we used the steepest descent method and reconstructed the dielectric targets using the iterative estimation. To verify our algorithm we will show the numerical examples for the two-dimensional $TM^2$ cases.

This paper proposes an efficient boundary-based technique for the shape design sensitivity analysis in various disciplines. An analytical sensitivity formula in the form of a boundary integral is derived based on the continuum formulation for a general functional defined in the problems. The formula can be conveniently used for gradient computation in a variety of shape design problems. The advantage of using a boundary-based method is that the shape variation vectors are needed only on the boundary, not over the whole domain. The boundary shape variation vectors are conveniently computed by using finite. Perturbations of the shape geometry instead of complex analytical differentiation of the geometry functions. The potential flow problems and fillet problem are chosen to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed methodology.

A generalized method is presented for shape design sensitivity analysis of axisymmetric thermal conducting solids. The shape sensitivity formula of a general performance functional arising in shape optimal design problem is derived using the material derivative concept and the adjoint variable method. The method for deriving the formula is based on standard axisymmetric boundary integral equation formulation. It is then applied to obtain the sensitivity formulas for temperature and heat flux constraints imposed over a small segment of the boundary. To show the accuracy of the sensitivity analysis, numerical implementations are done for three examples. Sensitivities calculated by the presented method are compared with analytic sensitivities for two examples with analytic solutions, and compared with sensitivies by finite difference for a cooling fin example.

We present a design sensitivity analysis(DSA) method for multiscale problems based on bridging scale decomposition. In this paper, we utilize a bridging scale method for the coupled system analysis. Since the analysis of full MD systems requires huge amount of computational costs, a coupled system of MD-level and continuum-level simulation is usually preferred. The information exchange between the MD and continuum levels is taken place at the MD-continuum boundary. In the bridging scale method, a generalized Langevin equation(GLE) is introduced for the reduced MD system and the GLE force using a time history kernel is applied at the boundary atoms in the MD system. Therefore, we can separately analyze the MD and continuum level simulations, which can accelerate the computing process. Once the simulation of coupled problems is successful, the need for the DSA is naturally arising for the optimization of macro-scale design, where the macro scale performance of the system is maximized considering the micro scale effects. The finite difference sensitivity is impractical for the gradient based optimization of large scale problems due to the restriction of computing costs but the analytical sensitivity for the coupled system is always accurate. In this study, we derive the analytical design sensitivity to verify the accuracy and applicability to the design optimization of the coupled system.

제어봉구동장치는 원자력발전소에서 사용되는 기기로서, 가늘고 긴 수직 외팔보의 형상을 하고 있어 지진과 같은 동적하중에 취약한 구조를 갖고 있다. 따라서 발전소가 건설되는 지반의 다양한 지진하중에 대한 동적해석이 중요한 설계요건으로 되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 제어봉구동장치의 고유진동수를 제어하기 위한 기초연구로써 제어봉구동장치의 설계변경이 동적특성에 미치는 영향, 즉 고유진동수에 대한 설계 민감도 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 방법으로는 유한요소 프로그램의 구조 해석 결과에 변분법을 이용한 설계 민감도법을 사용하였다. 해석 결과는 유한차분에의한 결과와 일치함을 보였고, 제어봉구동장치의 초기설계 단계에서 유용한 정보로 활용할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 이러한 결과는 최적설계 프로그램등과 연계되어 구조물의 설계 개선에 많은 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.

In this paper, a variational formulation for plane elasticity problems is derived based on an isogeometric approach. The isogeometric analysis is an emerging methodology such that the basis functions for response analysis are generated directly from NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) geometry. Furthermore, the solution space for the response analysis can be represented in terms of the same functions to represent the geometry, which enables to provide a precise construction method of finite element model to exactly represent geometry using B-spline base functions in CAD geometric modeling and analyze arbitrarily shaped structures without re-meshing. In this paper, a continuum-based adjoint sensitivity analysis method using the isogeometric approach is extensively derived for the plane elasticity problems. The conventional shape optimization using the finite element method has some difficulties in the parameterization of geometry In the isogeometric analysis, however, the geometric properties are already embedded in the B-spline basis functions and control points so that it has potential capability to overcome the aforementioned difficulties. Through some numerical examples, the developed isogeometric sensitivity analysis method is verified to show excellent agreement with finite difference sensitivity.
