Although the round length for tunnel excavation has a major technical and economical impact in conventional tunnelling, there is no coherent procedure available for its determination. In this study, the influence of round length on the behaviour modes of weak rock tunnel was investigated by numerical analyses. Quantitative estimation of the behaviour modes of the face and the unsupported span was established by use of the safety factor for the face stability and the conditional chart. In addition, the optimum round length in the tunnel design stage was investigated based on the detail construction information such as cycle time and material costs. Although this proposed method has some restrictions, it is expected to provide useful information for the optimization of the tunnel excavation, especially in design stage.

With the development of quantum computer, the development of the quantum-inspired search method applying the features of quantum mechanics and its application to engineering problems have emerged as one of the most interesting research topics. This algorithm stores information by using quantum-bit superposed basically by zero and one and approaches optional values through the quantum-gate operation. In this process, it can easily keep the balance between the two features of exploration and exploitation, and continually accumulates evolutionary information. This makes it differentiated from the existing search methods and estimated as a new algorithm as well. Thus, this study is to suggest a new minimum weight design technique by applying quantum-inspired search method into structural optimization of planar truss. In its mathematical model for optimum design, cost function is minimum weight and constraint function consists of the displacement and stress. To trace the accumulative process and gathering process of evolutionary information, the examples of 10-bar planar truss and 17-bar planar truss are chosen as the numerical examples, and their results are analyzed. The result of the structural optimized design in the numerical examples shows it has better result in minimum weight design, compared to those of the other existing search methods. It is also observed that more accurate optional values can be acquired as the result by accumulating evolutionary information. Besides, terminal condition is easily caught by representing Quantum-bit in probability.

비선형성 및 측정할 수 없는 외란에 영향을 받은 무인잠수정의 깊이 조종을 위한 슬라이딩 모우드 조종기를 설계하였다. 먼저, 성형화 된 운동방정식을 기초로 하여 슬라이딩 표면계수를 수치행석으로 최적화 시켰으며, 이 설계된 슬라이딩 표면을 비선형 운동방정식에 적용하여, 그 특성을 고찰하었다. 마지막으로, 용이하게 설계된 슬라이딩 모우드 조종기를 비선형성과 외란을 갖는 NPS(Naval postgraduate School) 형태의 무인잠수정에 적용하여 얻어진 실험치의 동적 특성을 통해 슬라이딩 모우드의 강인성을 확인하였다.

For the optimal design of composite breakwaters, a computer program PROCOBRA is developed using the combined ALM-BFGS algorithm. A model formulation for the section design optimization problem of composite breakwaters is proposed where a concept of subsectional weighting factors is introduced in the objective function. Usability of the program is verified through a numerical example. From the study, it is found that the ALM-BFGS method is reliable and can be effectively applied for the design optimization of coastal structures. Compared with conventional design process, it is proved that the economical design of composite breakwaters is possible.

어류는 민감하기 때문에 최적화된 어도를 설계하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해서, 관찰, 수리모형시험과 같은 방법을 이용한 연구가 주를 이루어 왔다. 최근 들어 어도에 대한 기본 지식의 축적과 CFD 프로그램이 발전함에 따라 수치모의를 이용해 최적 어도를 설계하고자 하는 노력이 활발해 지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 최적 어도 설계를 도모하기 위해서 어류의 휴식을 위해 설치되는 풀(pool) 내의 흐름해석을 수행하였다. 군남홍수조절지를 대상으로 설계도면을 분석하여 3차원으로 변환하여 구조물형상을 구축하였으며, FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하여 흐름을 해석하였다. 휴식 풀 내의 흐름을 모의한 결과 어도 내 월류 수심이 10cm 일 경우, 휴식 풀 내 유속은 풀 내 유입어도의 노치와 잠공부분에서 최대 유속이 0.4m/s로 나타났고, 국부적으로 집중된 유속에 의해 풀 내 순환류가 발생하나, 유속의 범위가 최대 0.15m/s를 넘지 않는 것으로 모의되었다.

In this study, optimal design of direct-drive VCMs (Voice Coil Motor) for a missile fin actuator is carried out. The torque performance and the characteristics of the VCM are predicted by commercial electromagnetic analysis software, ANSYS Maxwell. The optimal design is obtained at the minimum and maximum actuating angles where the aerodynamic load acting on the fin is the largest in the operating range. The critical variables of the actuator is designed and the RSM (Response Surface Method) is used for the optimization. The response surface model consists of second-order functions and its experimental points are selected by a central composite design. This design is widely used for fitting a second-order response surface. The adjustment regression coefficients is computed for adequacy checking of the response surface model. Finally, the torque values obtained by the RSM and the ANSYS Maxwell are shown in good agreement.

Reliability is considered a particularly important design factor for systems that have critical results once a failure occurs in a system, such as trains, airplanes, and passenger ships. The reliability of the system can be improved in several ways, but in a system that requires considerable reliability, the redundancy of parts is efficient in improving the system reliability. In the case of duplicating parts to improve reliability, the kind of parts and the number of duplicating parts should be determined under the system reliability, part costs, and resources. This study examined the redundancy allocation of multi-level systems with serial structures. This paper describes the definition of a multi-system and how to optimize the kind of parts and number of duplications to maximize the system reliability. To optimize the redundancy, the cuckoo search algorithm was applied. The search procedure, the solution representation and the development of the neighborhood solution were proposed to optimize the redundancy allocation of a multi-level system. The results of numerical experiments were compared with the genetic algorithm and cuckoo search algorithm.

In this paper, we propose the stability analysis and design methodology for the discrete-time affine Type III fuzzy system via the convex optimization technique. First, the stability condition is derived under which the discrete-time affine Type III fuzzy system is quadratically stable in the large. Next, the derived condition is reformulated into the convex optimization problem called Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) and numerically addressed. Finally, the effectiveness and the feasibility of the proposed analysis and design methodology is highlighted via an example and its computer simulation result.
