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.

During the shape optimization, relocations of nodes happen successively. However, excessive movement of nodes often results in the mesh distortion and eventually deteriorates the accuracy of the optimum solution. To overcome this problem, an efficient method lot the shape optimization has been developed. The method starts from the design domain which is large enough to hold the possible shape of the structure. The design domain has pre-defined uniform fine meshes. In each cycle, the method allots real properties to the elements inside the structure and nearly zero to ones outside. The performance of the method is evaluated through two examples with displacement and frequency constraints.

Usually, there are many uncertainties regarding the error of an assumed load, material properties, member size, and structure analysis in a structure, and it may have a direct influence on the qualities of optimal design of structures. Probabilistic analysis has developed rapidly into a desirable process and structural reliability analysis is an increasingly important tool that assists engineers to consider uncertainties during the design, construction and life of a structure to calculate its probability of failure. This study deals with the applications of two optimization techniques to solve the reliability-based optimization problem of structures. The reliability-based optimization problem was formulated as a minimization of the structural volume subject to the constraints on the values of componential reliability index determined by the AFOSM approach. This presented method may be a useful tool for the reliability-based design optimization of structures.

The optimal design for water distribution system (WDS) is not only satisfying the minimum required water pressure of the nodes, but also minimizing pipe cost, etc. The number of designs of WDS increases exponentially due to the arrangement of various pipes. Various optimization algorithms were applied to propose an optimized design of WDS. In this study, Modified Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (MHVCA) with improved self-adapting parameter was applied to optimal design of WDS. The performance was improved by changing the Hybrid Rate (HR) of the existing Hybrid Vision Correction Algorithm (HVCA) to nonlinear HR. To verify the performance of the proposed MHVCA, it applied to mathematical problems consisting of 2 and 30 decision variables and constrained mathematical problems. In order to review the application results of MHVCA, it was compared with Harmony Search (HS), Improved Harmony Search (IHS), Vision Correction Algorithm (VCA) and HVCA. Finally, MHVCA was applied to the optimal design problem of WDS and the results were compared with other algorithms. MHVCA showed better results than other algorithms in mathematical problems and WDS problem. MHVCA will be able to show good results by applying to various water resource engineering problems as well as problems applied in this study.

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.

지구환경문제와 에너지문제를 해소하는 한 방법으로서 Vuilleumier 사이클 기관(VM)을 이용한 공조기형 열구동형 히트펌프시스템(VMHP)이 각광을 받고 있다. VMHP의 제작에 있어서는 VM의 각 부분의 이론적 검토 및 최적설계를 위한 해석프로그램의 개발이 필수적이고 최적설계를 위한 설계 기본서의 도출 및 설계자료의 확보가 필요하다. VMHP의 상세한 성능해석이나 설계에 활용 가능한 성능해석프로그램을 개발하였다. 해석은 VM의 시스템의 각 부분을 11개 부분으로 나누어 단열모델해석으로 수행하였다. 열교환기에서의 열전달 성능과 재생기손실, 열전도손실, 셔틀손실, 유동에 의한 압력손실과 열압축측과 열펌프측 사이의 마찰손실, 피스턴실 및 로드실의 마찰손실을 고려한 해석을 수행하였다. 해석에 의한 계산치의 정확성을 본 해석결과를 이용하여 제작한 시험기에 의해 비교하였다. 계산치와 시험기에 의한 전체성능을 비교하였고 또한 각각의 손실에서 고유한 파라미터를 추출하여 그 파라미터의 변화에 따른 열손실 전체의 변화 정도를 파악하여 실험치와 계산치의 정상적인 비교로부터 성능해석의 정도를 비교하였다. 비교결과에 의해 난방능력은 8%, 냉방능력은 19%의 최대오차로서 본 해석결과가 VMHP의 설계를 위해 유용한 수단으로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The homotopy algorithm provides a robust method for determining optimal control, in some cases the global minimum solution, as a continuation parameter is varied gradually to regulate the contributions of the nonlinear terms. In this paper, the Successive Backward Sweep (SBS) method, which is insensitive to initial guess, augmented with a homotopy algorithm is suggested. This approach is effective for highly nonlinear problems such as low-thrust trajectory optimization. Often, these highly nonlinear problems have multiple local minima. In this case, the SBS-homotopy method enables one to steadily seek a global minimum.

This study presents the effective stiffness-based optimal technique to control Quantitatively lateral drift for shear wall-frame structure system using sensitivity analysis. To this end, the element stiffness matrices are constituted to solve the compatibility problem of displacement degree of freedom between the frame and shear wall. Also, lateral drift constraint to introduce the approximation concept that can preserve the generality of the mathematical programming and can effectively solve the large scaled problems is established. And, the section property relationships for shear wall and frame members are considered in order to reduce the number of design variables and differentiate easily the stiffness matrices. Specifically, constant-shape assumption which is uniformly varying in size during optimal process is applied in frame structure. The thickness or length of shear wall can be changed depending on user's intent. Two types of 20 story shear wall-frame structure system are presented to illustrate the features of the stiffness-based optimal design technique.

A network design problem (NDP) is to find a design parameter to optimize the performance of transportation system. This paper presents a modified NDP, called target-oriented NDP, which contains a target that we try to arrive in real world, and also proposes a solution algorithm. Unlike general NDP which seeks an optimal value to minimize or to maximize objective function of the system, in target-oriented NDP traffic manager or operator can set a target level prior and then try to find an optimal design variable to attain this goal. A simple example for mode choice problem is given to test the model.
