The GMDH(Group Method of Data Handling) algorithm can be used to predict the complex nonlinear systems. The traditional GMDH algorithm produces the prdicted output of the system model in the output layer through the input layer and the intermediate layers as the prescribed process. The outputs of each layer are produced only by the outputs of the former layer. However, in the traditional GMDH algorithm, though the optimal structure of each layer is derived, the overall structure may not be derived optimally. To overcome this problem, GMDH prediction model which has the overall optimal structure is constructed by feeding back the error between the predicted output and the real output. This can make the prediction more precise. The capability improvement of the proposed algorithm compared to the traditional algorithm is verified through computer simulation.

Krylov 부공간 모델차수축소법은 초기 유한요소모델과 축소모델의 전달함수의 계수인 모멘트를 일치시키는 방법을 이용하는 축소기법으로 이미 대형 유한요소모델의 주파수응답 해석의 효율적인 계산에 많이 사용되고 있는 방법 중의 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 Krylov 부공간 축소기법을 이용한 관심 주파수영역에 대한 주파수응답 해석 및 이를 통하여 계산된 주파수응답의 여러 가지 설계변수에 대한 설계민감도 해석방법을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 구조물의 주파수응답을 고려한 최적설계를 위해서는 설계변수에 대한 관심 주파수영역에서의 주파수응답 및 그의 민감도 정보가 요구되므로, 고려하는 유한요소모델이 대형일 경우에 관심 주파수영역에서의 반복적인 해석으로 인한 계산비용의 문제가 대두된다. 본 논문에서는 축소모델을 이용하여 주파수응답과 주파수응답의 설계민감도 해석을 수행하여 계산의 효율성을 극대화하였다. 민감도 계산에는 시간측면과 구현의 용이성 측면에서 장점이 있는 준해석적 방법을 이용하였다. 수치 예제를 통하여 축소기법을 이용한 주파수응답의 설계민감도 해석 결과를 유한차분법에 근거한 민감도 결과와 비교하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 방법을 이용하는 경우, 주파수응답을 고려한 최적설계를 계산비용 측면에서 매우 효율적으로 수행할 수 있을 것이다.

Recently, many researches are carried for high-speed and light craft. In this study, the optimum structural design procedure and the computer program are developed to minimize the hull weight of SES(Surface Effect Ship) built of composite materials. Three types of composite materials-Sandwich, Single Skin and Hybrid type- are considered and the efficiency of each type is investigated. In design process, the optimum design of main members is performed at first considering longitudinal strength. And then, the transverse member design is performed considering torsional strength SSDP(Structural Synthesis Design program) of U.S. Navy is adopted for design algorithm and DnV classification nile for design loads and strength criteria. For optimum structural design, ES 1+1 optimization technique is used.

An optimum structural design system for double hull oil tankers is developed based on the generalized slope deflection method which was previously proposed by the authors. For the optimization technique, the Hooke & Jeeves direct search method is applied to the minimum weight design problems with discrete design variables. A minimum weight design program is developed for the longitudinal members by the classification rules and for the transverse frames and the bulkhead members by the generalized slope deflection method. By this program, a minimum hull weight design of double hull oil tankers considering tank arrangement is performed and the design results are compared with existing ship. It is possible to find optimum tank arrangement and efficient types of hull structures for the minimum weight design of double hull oil tankers.

Reliability is defined as a probability that a system will operate properly for a specified period of time under the design operating conditions without failure. Reliability-Redundancy Optimization Problem(RROP) involves selection of components with multiple choices, redundancy levels and redundancy strategy(Active or Standby) for maximizing system reliability with constraints such as cost, weight, etc. Based on the design configuration of Multi-Spectral Camera(MSC) system of KOMPSAT-2, the mathematical programming model for RROP is suggested in this study. Due to the nature of RROP, i.e. NP-hard problem, Parallel Particle Swarm Optimization(PPSO) algorithm is proposed to solve it. The result of the numerical experiment for RROP is presented as instance of recommended design configuration at some mission time.

The dynamic characteristics of Control Element Drive Mechanism(CEDM) for Korea Standard Nuclear Power Plant are studied with the CEDM modeled as a secondary mass in a simplified two degree of freedom system, while the reactor vessel as a primary mass. The optimal .mu.-f curve is developed to reduce the response amplitudes of both primary and secondary masses. In order to improve a design it is proposed that the natural frequency ratio, f, should be converged to 0.93, the mass ratio, .mu., should not be reduced, and the result should be converged to the optimal .mu.-f curve. Optimal design for CEDM components has been carried out and the response amplitude ratios of reactor are reduced 10.5 - 19.7% while those of CEDM are reduced 6.3 - 3.4%.

The main objective of the research is to develop an algorithm for the optimum design of two dimensional steel frames using refined plastic hinge analysis which considers material and geometrical nonlinearities. Using developed algorithm, an optimum design was perform without calculating an effective length factor of the column (K-factor). A multi-level discrete optimization technique with two parameters has been developed and employed in the optimum design algorithm. The optimization algorithm is applied to structural design with the objective of minimizing the weight of a structure and with constraints on load limit, frame drift, ductility. Various application example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility, validity and efficiency of the developed program.

The present paper describes an investigation into the application of the genetic algorithm (GA) in the optimum design of composite laminated structure. Stochastic processes generate an initial population of designs and then apply principles of natural selection/survival of the fittest to improve the designs. The five test functions are used to verify the robustness and reliability of the GA, and as a numerical example, minimum weight of a cantilever composite laminated beam with a mix of continuous, integer and discrete design variables is obtained by using the GA with exterior penalty function method. The design problem has constraints on strength, displacements, and natural frequencies, and is formulated to a multidimensional nonlinear form. From the results, it is found that the GA search technique is very effective to find the good optimum solution as well as has higher robustness.
