본 연구에서는 상수관망의 신뢰도 기반 최적화설계에서 시스템 구성물의 기계적 고장의 영향뿐만이 아니라 관로의 수리학적 능력과 절점수요에서의 불확실성이 결합되어 인식할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 수질과 연관된 신뢰도 문제는 고려하지 않았고 단지 수량의 항으로 수요자들의 요구량을 충족시키기 위해 급수관망의 공급능력을 고려하였다. 수량의 관점에서 관망의 신뢰도의 측정은 절점 수요량들이 항상 만족되어진다고 가정한 상태에서 불충분한 수두의 정도를 이용한다. 따라서 절점신뢰도는 공급되는 절점수두가 미리 규정된 최소수두를 상외하거나 충족시키는 확률로 정의되어진다. 이 모형에 의해 설계된 상수관망은 정상관망 상태구성(구성물의 고장이 발생하지 않았을 경우)와 미리 정해진 고장 시나리오의 범위와 연관된 관망의 악화된 구성상태 모두에서 절점에서의 임의의 수요량과 임의의 수리학적 능력하에서 상수공급량의 항으로 규정된 수준의 서어비스의를 제공할 수 있다. 본 모형은 다양한 관망구성에 내해 상수관망의 신뢰도의 정도를 결정하기 위해서 Monte-Carlo 모의를 이용하였다. 실제 상수관망에 내해 본 인구모형을 이용하여 신뢰도 및 최적화 해석이 수행되었다. 해석결과 본 모형은 합리적으로 관망 전체에 대해 합리적인 범위의 신뢰도를 유지하면서 관망의 건설비용의 치적화가 수행될 수 있었다.

풍력 터빈 블레이드용 익형의 경우 운용 조건에서 높은 양항비를 가지도록 설계되나 풍속, 풍향의 변동에 의해 운용조건에 변화가 발생할 경우 성능의 저하가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 운용조건의 변동이 발생하더라도 공력 성능이 크게 변하지 않는 익형이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 운용조건의 불확실성을 고려하여 풍력 터빈 블레이드용 익형의 신뢰성 기반 강건 최적 설계를 수행하였다. 익형 설계를 위해서 여러 익형 형상 변수들을 고려할 수 있는 익형 모델링 함수를 정의하였고 기저형상으로는 NREL에서 개발한 S809 익형을 사용하였다.

In this study, an optimum design algorithm using efficient reanalysis is proposed for seismic design of Reinforced Concrete (RC) piers. The proposed algorithm for optimization of RC piers is based on efficient reanalysis technique. Considering structural behavior of RC piers, the other approximation technique such as artificial constraint deletion is introduced to increase the efficiency of optimization. The efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm including the proposed reanalysis technique is demonstrated by comparing it with a conventional optimization algorithm. A few of design examples are optimized to show the applicability of the proposed algorithm.

Deterministic optimum designs that are obtained without consideration of uncertainties could lead to unrealiable designs. Such deterministic engineering optimization tends to promote the structural system with less reliability redundancy than obtained with conventional design procedures using the factor of safety. Consequently, deterministic optimized structures will usually have higher failure probabilities than unoptimized structures. This paper proposes the reliability based design optimization technique fur apressure tank considering temperature effect. This paper presents an efficient and stable reliability based design optimization method by using the advanced first order second moment method, which evaluates a probabilistic constraint for more accuracy. In addition, the response surface method is utilized to approximate the performance functions describing the system characteristics in the reliability based design optimization procedure.

In this study, effective methods for reliability estimation and reliability-based design optimization(RBDO) are proposed using kriging metamodel and genetic algorithm. In our previous study, we proposed the accurate method for reliability estimation using two-staged kriging metamodel and genetic algorithm. In this study, the possibility of applying the previously proposed method to RBDO is investigated. The efficiency and accuracy of that method were much improved than those of the first order reliability method(FORM). Finally, the effective method for RBDO is proposed and applied to numerical examples. The results are compared to the existing RBDO methods and shown to be very effective and accurate.

SLSV (single loop single vector) method is to solve the excessive computational cost problem in RBDO (reliability-based design optimization) by decoupling the nested iteration loops. However, the practical use of SLSV method to RBDO case is limited by the instability or inaccuracy of the method since it often diverges or converges to a wrong solution. Thus, in this paper, a new modified SLSV method is proposed. This method improves its convergence capability effectively by utilizing Inactive Design and Active MPP Design together with modified HMV (hybrid mean value) method. The usefulness of the proposed method is also verified through numerical examples.

본 연구에서는 트러스 구조물의 이산최적설계를 위해 유전알고리즘(GA)을 적용하였다. 확률론적인 절차를 통해 설계에 필요한 초기 집단을 생성시킨 후, 설계를 개선시키기 위해서 자연선택 및 적자생존의 원리를 적용하였다. 다하중조건 하에서 트러스 구조물의 중량 최소화를 위해 응력 및 변위 제약을 고려하였다. 먼저, 이미 잘 알려진 트러스 구조물에 대해서 GA를 이용하여 얻은 최적해와 기존 문헌들에서 제시하고 있는 값들을 비교함으로써 GA의 신뢰성 및 적용성을 검증하였고, 이러한 신뢰성 검증을 바탕으로 사용성 있는 트러스 구조물의 이산최적설계를 위해 현재 생산중인 강재제원표로부터 부재가 선택되도록 하였다. 강재의 단면으로는 L형강을 사용하였으며, L형강의 강종은 9개의 강종들 (SS 400, SWS 400, SMA 41, SWS 490Y, SWS 520, SMA 50, SWS 570, SMA 58) 중에서 설계자에 의해 자유롭게 선택되도록 하였다.

Structural optimization is widely adopted in the design of structures with the development of computer aided design and computer technique recently. By applying the structural optimization in the last decades, designers have gained the design scheme of structures more feasibly and easily. In this paper, an optimal design of one 30-story high rise steel structure is performed considering material non-linearity. Based on finite element analysis and adaptive simulated annealing algorithm, the optimal weight of structure is derived under constraints of allowable yield stress, shear stress and serviceability.

This study proposes a Load Factors-based Analysis Model of Optimum Reliability for the High way bridge, which is most common type of structural design, and also proposes the theoretical bases of optimum nominal safety factors as well as optimum load and resistance factors based on the expected total cost minimization. Major 2nd moment reliability analysis and design theories including both MFOSM(Mean First Order 2nd Moment) Methods and AFOSM(Advanced First Order 2nd Moment) Methods are summarized and compared, and it has been found that Lind-Hasofer's approximate and an approximate Log-normal type reliability for mula are well suited for the proposed optimum reliability study.

This study presents a reliability-based optimum design of reinforced concrete frames, in which the AFOSM and SOSM methods are applied for the evaluation of the failure probabilities, and the sequential linear programming method is used as a practical approach to the system optimization. One-story two-bay reinforced concrete frame is chosen for the numerical illustration of the proposed reliability-based optimum design. As a result, it is found that the proposed procedure for the reliability-based optimization of RC frames could provide the accurate estimation of the optimal level of safety, and appears applicable to real structures with reasonable complexity. It is shown in the paper that the probability distributions of the basic random variables and the uncertainties of the applied loadings and material strengths may have great effect on the optimum design, but the AFOSM and SOSM methods do not show significant discrepancy in the optimum design results, but the former appears more realistic and time saving than the latter for this specific study.
