Genetic Algorithms(GA) together with simulated annealing are often called methods of last resorts since they can be applicable to any kind of problems, particularly those to which no sophisticated procedures are applicable or feasible. The design of structures is primarily the process of selecting a section for each member from those available in the market, resulting in the problem of combinatorial nature. Therefore it is usual for the design space to include astronomical number of designs making the search in the space often impossible. In this work, Genetic Algorithms and some related technique are introduced and applied to the design of steel frameworks. In problems with a small number of design variables, GA found true global optima. GA also found true optima for the continuous variable test problems and proved their applicability to structural optimization. For those problems of real size, however, it appears to be difficult to expect GA to find optimum or even near optimum designs. The use of G bit improvement added to ordinary GA has shown much better results and draws attention for further research.

본 논문에서는 이산 변수 최적화에 적합한 유전 알고리듬을 이용하여 복합재 적층 패치의 최적강도설계를 수행하였다. 기저판(substrate)와 접착제(adhesive), 그리고 복합재 적층 패치로 이루어진 구조물에서 패치의 강도를 효율적으로 구하기 위해서 응력 함수 기반의 해석적 방법을 도입하였다. 면외 방향의 응력 함수를 가정하여 가상 공액일의 법칙(complementary virtual work principle)에 적용하였으며, 복합재 패치의 자유 경계조건으로부터 면내 방향의 응력함수를 결정하였다. 응력 함수를 통하여 구한 층간 응력 값은 자유 경계 효과를 잘 나타내었고, 이를 이용하여 패치의 강도 해석을 수행하였다. 강도 해석 시, 복합재 패치의 파괴 기준은 면내 응력들에 대해서는 최대 응력 척도를 사용하였으며, 층간 응력들에 대해서는 quadratic delamination 척도를 사용하였다. 유전 알고리듬을 이용한 최적강도설계 과정에서는 임의의 염색체가 주어진 적층 구속 조건을 만족할 수 있게 수정(repairing)하는 과정을 도입하였다. 또한 다수의 전역해(global optima)를 효과적으로 찾기 위해서 multiple elitism 기법을 도입하였다. 응력 함수 기반의 강도 해석방법과 유전 알고리듬과의 연계를 통한 복합재 적층 패치의 강도최적설계 기법은 패치 구조물의 해석 및 설계에 있어서 효율적인 도구로서 사용할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

In this study, a structure satisfying the fatigue constraint is designed by applying the topology optimization based on the phase field design method. In order to predict life based on the stress value, high cycle fatigue failure theory in which stress acts within the range of elastic limit is discussed and three fatigue theories of modified-Goodman, Smith-Watson-Topper and Gerber theory are applied. To calculate the global maximum stress, a modified P-norm stress correction method is used. As a result, it is possible to obtain topology optimization results that minimize the volume while satisfying the fatigue constraints. By applying the phase field design method, a simple shape with a minimized gray scale was obtained, and the maximum stress value acting on the optimization result became very close to the allowable stress value due to the modified P-norm stress method. While previous studies does not consider the stress correction factor, this study proposes the determination method regarding the stress correction factor considering loading effects related to axial stress components.

This paper proposes a global search based motion estimation algorithm for high performance HEVC encoder and its hardware architecture. To eliminate temporal redundancy, motion estimation in HEVC inter-view prediction uses global search and fast search algorithm to search for a predicted block having a high correlation with the current PU in an interpolated reference picture. The global search method predicts the motion of all candidate blocks in a given search area, thus ensuring optimal results, but has a disadvantage of large computation time. Therefore we propose a new algorithm that reduces computational complexity by reusing SAD operation in global search to reduce computation time of inter prediction. As a result of applying the proposed algorithm to standard software HM16.12, the computation time was reduced by 61%, BDBitrate by 11.81%, and BDPSNR by about 0.5% compared with the existing search algorithm. As a result of hardware design, the maximum operating frequency is 255 MHz and the total number of gates is 65.1K.

MDO Optimization for a low pressure axial compressor rotor has been carried out to improve aerodynamic performance and structural stability. Global optimized solution was obtained from an artificial neural network model with genetic algorithm. Optimized rotor model has a high blade loading near hub and near zero incidence flow angle near tip region to reduce the incidence loss and flow separation at trailing edge region. Also the rotor shape is converged to a trapezoid shape to reduce the maximum stress occurred at the root of the blade. Numerical simulation results show that rotor has 87.6% rotor efficiency and safety factor over than 3.

A design study was conducted for a new concept aircraft(Canard Rotor/Wing: CRW) that has the capability of dual mode flight, a rotorcraft and a fixed wing mode. The CRW can show a vertical take off/landing and a high speed/efficiency cruise performance simultaneously. It is not surprising to develop a new sizing code for this class of aircraft because conventional sizing codes developed solely for either the rotary wing or the fixed wing aircraft are not adequate to design a dual mode aircraft operated both by the rotary wing through tip jet effux and the fixed wing lift. Thus, a new design code was developed based on the conventional sizing code by adding some features including rotor performance, duct flow, and engine flow analysis, hence could eventually predict the performance of reaction driven rotor, the flight performance and the flight characteristics. The various design parameters were investigated to find their influences on the flight performance then, a small UAV(Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle) of 1500 lbs class was optimally designed to have minimum weight using the developed sizing code.

In this study, a repetitive response surface enhancement technique (RRSET) is proposed as a new system approximation method for the efficient multidisciplinary design and optimization (MDO). In order to represent the highly nonlinear behavior of the response with second order polynomials, RRSET introduces a design space transformation using stretching functions and repetitive response surface improvement. The tentative optimal point is repetitively included to the set of experimental points to better approximate the response surface of the system especially near the optimal point, hence a response surface with significantly improved accuracy can be generated with very small experimental points and system iterations. As a system optimizer, the simulated annealing, which generates a global design solution is utilized. The proposed technique is applied to several numerical examples, and demonstrates the validity and efficiency of the method. With its improved approximation accuracy, the RRSET can contribute to resolve large and complex system design problems under MDO environment.

Genetic Algorithm (GA) which imitates the process of nature evolution is applied to various fields because it is simple to theory and easy to application. Recently applying GA to hardware, it is to proceed the research of Evolvable Hardware(EHW) developing the structure of hardware and reconstructing it. And it is growing a necessity of GAP that embodies the computation of GA to the hardware. Evolving by GA don't act in the software but in the hardware(GAP) will be necessary for the design of independent EHW. This paper shows the design GAP for fast reconfiguration of EHW.
