In this study, a continuous optimum design model with its application program for plane steel frame structures developed. In the model, the sequential unconstrained minimization technique (SUMT) transforming the nonlinear optimization problem with multidesign variables and constraints into an unconstrained minimization problem and the refined plastic hinge analysis method as one of the most effective second-order inelastic analysis methods for steel frame structures were implemented. The total weight of a steel frame structure was taken as the objective function, and the AISC-LRFD code requirements for the local and member buckling, flexural strength, shear strength, axial strength and size of the cross-sectional shapes of members were used for the derivation of constraint equations. To verify the appropriateness of the present model, the optimum designs of serveral plane steel frame structures subject to vertical and horizontal loads were conducted.

연속계의 동적 시스템을 제어하고저 할 때에는 구동장치와 측정장치를 어느 위치에 두느냐에 따라 시스템의 제어 성능이 상당히 달라지기 때문에 위치선정 문제가 매우 중요한 설계변수의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 일반 연속계의 제어시스템을 설계하고저 할 때를 고려하여, 그들의 최적 위치를 결정할 수 있는 조건식을 최적 제어 이론을 바탕으로 유도하였다.

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamic optimal design of continuous beams. The computer-aided optimization technique is used to obtain the near-optimal parameters of continuous beam. The computer program is developed to obtain the natural frequency parameters and the forced vibration responses to a transit point load for the continuous beam with variable support spacing, mass and stiffness. The model test data is in good agreement with the computer calculation, which serves to validate the mathematical analysis. The optimization function to describe the design efficiency is defined as a linear combination of four dimensionless span characteristics; the maximum dynamic stress; the stress difference between span segments; the rms deflection under the transit point load; and the total span mass. Studies of three span beams show that the beam with near-optimal parameters can improve design efficiency when compared to a uniform beam with even spacing of the same total span length.

항공기가 평형상태로 비행하는 도중 돌풍과 같은 외부교란을 만난 교란상태운동은 선형화된 미분방정식으로 표현되며 비교적 짧은 비행시간동안의 비행은 선형시 불변계가 된다. 돌풍은 Gauss-Markov확률과정으로 모델링 되며, 항공기가 돌풍을 만난 교란상태운동은 시스템론적으로 보면 백색잡음이 성형필터를 거쳐 계에 입력되는 것과 같다. 초기의 설계방법은 고전적인 주파수영역에서의 해석방법을 사용하였으나 1960년대에 최적제어이론이 도입되면서 평가함수를 사용하여 원하는 비행특성을 얻는 방법을 사용하게 되었다. 그 후 계에 입력되는 외란과 측정시의 잡음으로 인한 불확실한 측정량으로부터 최적상태변수의 추정을 위해 필터링이론을 도입한 확률제어이론을 적용하여 자동조종장치를 설계하게 되었다. 이때까지는 연속제어계로 설계되었으며 그 후 측정신호를 샘플링하여 연속제어계와 등가의 이산제어계를 사용한 자동조종장치가 등장하였으며 이 경우 설계기법으로는 연속제어계를 사용하고 실현시킬 때는 디지털컴퓨터를 사용하였다. 이는 제어하는 동안 계의 계수와 제어법칙을 바꾸어 줄 수 있는 이산제어계의 장점을 이용하지 못하므로 처음부터 계를 등가의 이산계로 보고 제어계를 설계하는 방법이 도입되었다. 이 때 샘플링간격의 결정과 Quantization 영향이 설계시 고려되어야 한다.

This study presents a design method for three-span continuous preflex composite girder bridges (3S-PCB) which imposes prestresses in the negative moment region by lifting or lowering interior supports and the design method is automated by a computer program which incorporates optimal design procedure. The objective function for the design of 3S-PCB minimizes the cost of construction materials and the constraint functions represent the limited dimensions of the design section and the allowable stress for each structural member as given in the specifications. Optimal design procedure used in this study is a modification of existing sequential unconstrained minimization technique (SUMT), a numerical analyses procedure for two-span continuous preflex composite bridges. The optimized design sections determined for each span length are compared with those of simple preflex composite beams (SPCB) and the optimal girder depth is determined by defining the relationship between girder depth and construction material costs.

This paper describes the application of discretized continuum-type optimality criteria(DCOC) and the development of optimum design program for the reinforced concrete continuous beams with rectangular cross-section. The cost of construction as objective function which includes the costs of concrete, reinforcing steel and formwork is minimized. The design constraints include limits on the maximum deflection, flexural and shear strengths, in addition to ductility requirements, and upper and lower bounds on design variables as stipulated by the design Code. Based on Kuhn-Tucker necessary conditions, the optimality criteria are explicitly derived in terms of the design variables-effective depth, and steel ratio. The self-weight of the beam is included in the equilibrium equation of the real system. An iterative procedure and computer program for updating the design variables are developed. Two numerical examples of reinforced concrete continuous beams are presented to show the applicability and efficiency of the DCOC-based technique.

The optimal operation problem of enzyme reactor of double inhibitions are dealt with Maximum Principle and Steepest Ascent Method. The operation policy of the intial concentration and amount of substrate, reaction time and the method of cross feed of substrate are determined in a system of reactor of constant volume add with cross feed of substrate. The policy for the soluble enzyme and the immobilized enzyme are greatly different from each other, and the performance index, the profit per unit time, of the latter are nearly twice greater than that of the former.

This paper studies the design of a two-DOF optimal controller for the strip gauge-tension of cold tandem mill processes, that uses a reference shaping filter and a disturbance observer. First, a mathematical model of the strip gauge and tension system is constructed using the gauge meter equation and Hooke's law, respectively. Next, a two-DOF controller considering of a feedforward controller and a feedback controller is designed. The former is based on the reference shaping filter and the disturbance observer, and the latter is based on the ILQ optimal control algorithm. Finally, it is shown through a computer simulation that the proposed optimal controller is able to improve the strip gauge accuracy and the tension variation more than the conventional MV-AGC controller.
