제조 기술의 고도화가 이루어진 현 시점에서, 제품의 설계방식도 단순구조설계가 아닌 최적설계를 통해 제품의 경제성과 안정성을 동시에 획득하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 인장, 압축, 비틀림과 같은 다양한 힘을 받는 자전거의 크랭크 암에 대해 최적 설계를 진행하였고, EDISON의 Plastic Deformation with Damage Mechanism Analysis SW 프로그램을 통해 유한 요소 해석을 수행했다. 해석은 크랭크암 내부에 응력 값이 가장 높은 $90^{\circ}$를 경계조건으로 표면 응력을 고려한 구조, 내부 응력을 고려한 구조, 트러스를 적용한 구조와 MATLAB을 통해 위상최적화 후 추가적으로 형상을 최적화한 구조를 설계했다. 끝으로 경제성과 안정성을 판단하는 기준으로 각각의 질량 대비 강성을 확인하여 최적의 형상을 제시하였다.

Design sensitivity analysis of the second order perturbed eigenproblems for random structural system is presented. Dynamic response of random system including uncertainties for the design variable is calculated with the first order and second order perturbation method to original governing equation. In optimal design methods, there is fundamental requirement for design gradients. A method for calculating the sensitivity coefficients is developed using the direct differentiation method for the governing equation and first order and second order perturbed equation.

The distance optimizing between coil and magnetic materials never be specified in the magnetic materials acceleration using the coil till now. We can know to be the distance which optimizes when being in the half position about the distance of intercoil by the result of the max point on the Differential calculus. Whether several top and bottom current segment coil structures were made and the steel ball in which the current segment coil structure is the magnetic materials could be accelerated in the optimizing distance or not confirmed. When the coil valley current about the mass of the steel ball was known as the experiment and it was but to be the nose consequently it applied to the magnetic materials and magnetic fluid, the optimal distance was solved between the coil and material.

A cyclocopter propelled by the cycloidal blade system, which can be described as a horizontal rotary wing, is a new concept of VTOL vehicle. In this paper, optimized structure design is carried out for the aerodynamically optimized cyclocopter rotor system. Database is obtained fer design variables such as stacking sequence (ply angles), number of plies and spar locations through MSC/NASTRAN and optimum values are determined by RSM and some other optimizing processes. For the rotor system including optimized blade and composite hub m, the maximum stress by static analysis is within the failure criteria. And the rotor system is designed for the purpose of avoiding possible dynamic instabilities by inconsistency between frequencies of rotor rotation and some low natural frequencies of rotor.

The purpose of the study is to establish an optimum geometry and optimum geometry factor through bond test of a structural synthetic fiber, which fully utilizes matrix anchoring without fiber fracturing with the maximum pullout resistance. Seven deformed structural synthetic fibers with widely different geometries were investigated and pullout test was conducted. Included parameters are seven different types of fiber and two of mortar matrixes. The test result shows that the crimped type structural synthetic fiber is significant improvement in the interface toughness(pullout energy) and pullout load. The pullout test was performed with various size of crimped type structural synthetic fiber in order to invest optimum geometry factor, In the basis of the test results, optimum geometry factor is established such as D=b$^{{\alpha}0{\alpha}}$h$^{λ{\beta}}$.

Topology optimization has been evolved into a very efficient conceptual design tool and has been utilized into design engineering processes. Traditional topology optimization has been using homogenization method and optimality criteria method. homogenization method provides relationship equation between structure which includes many holes and stiffness matrix in FEM. Optimality criteria method is used to update design variables while maintaining that volume fraction is uniform. Traditional topology optimization has advantage of good convergence but has disadvantage of too much convergency time. In one way to solve this problem, element removal method using the criterion of an average stress is presented. As the result of examples, it is certified that convergency time is very reduced.

This paper deals with the adjoint variable method in design sensitivity analysis that is essential to the structure optimization. The method is shown to be much simpler than the conventional method in structure optimization by applying it to the optimal design of finite dimensional structures. Design sensitivity analyses and their numerical solutions for the principal constraints, i.e., displacement and stress constraints under static loads are obtained. Furthermore, it is proved that optimization can be carried out efficiently by applying the optimization algorithm. Structure optimization problems of minimizing the volumes of the truss structures(finite dimensional structures) under the appropriate boundary conditions, loading conditions and constraints are considered.

This study performs the structural analysis and the optimum design of a vibrating metal damper to absorb vibration energy. Unlike other dampers such as rubber bearing, friction or viscose dampers, the present vibrating metal damper utilizes the plastic deformation of a steel and its associated hysteresis phenomenon to reduce vibrations of structures. To optimize this vibrating metal damper, it is important to obtain plastic deformation through the damper. To achieve this, the shape optimization method is developed and applied to find out optimal envelopes of the metal damper. Depending on the parameterization scheme, some novel optimal shapes can be found.

Since an orthotropic steel deck bridge has large number of design variables and shows complex structural behavior, it would be very difficult and impractical to directly use a Conventional Single Level (CSL) optimization algorithm for its optimum design. Thus, in this paper, an Improved Multi Level Design Synthesis (IMLDS) optimization algorithm is proposed to improve the computational efficiency. In the proposed IMLDS algorithm, a coordination method is introduced to divide the bridge into main girders and orthotropic steel deck with preserving the characteristics of the structural behavior. For an efficient optimization of the bridge, the IMLDS algorithm incorporates the various crucial approximation techniques such as constraints deletion, Automatic Differentiation (AD), stress reanalysis, and etc. In the case of orthotropic steel deck system, optimum design problems are characterized by mixed continuous discrete variables and discontinuous design space. Thus, a modified Genetic Algorithm (GA) is also applied to optimize discrete member design for orthotropic steel deck. From the numerical example, the efficiency and convergency of the IMLDS algorithm proposed in this paper is investigated. It may be positively stated that the IMLDS algorithm will lead to more effective and practical design compared with previous algorithms.

In this study, an inspection system based on an optical scanning mechanism is developed for the inspection of silicon wafers in solar cells. In particular, a structured hybrid illumination system that can satisfy the illumination requirement for the detection of various defects is designed. In the hybrid illumination system, the optimum illumination conditions are selected by considering the design of experiment in master glass and silicon wafer. The illumination conditions available are B-high, BG-high, BR-high, and BGR-high for master glass and R-middle-B-medium for silicon wafers. By using the illumination conditions for silicon wafers, numerous surface defects like pinhole, scratch, and chipping, can be accurately detected. The hybrid illumination system is expected to be widely used for the inspection of silicon wafers in solar cells.
