Stress on plates may increase in the neighborhood the edges or the holes for rivets or bolts. Excessive stress concentration may lead to severe breakage of the plates. Thus, it is important to conduct optimization of arrangement of holes at the design stage. In this paper, accuracy of FEM analysis was examined for such stress concentration. By changing the hole size on a narrow plate, change of the stress concentration factor(K) was investigated. Additionally, the same experiment was conducted about series of multiple holes on plate to investigate interaction between the adjacent holes. Then, the FEM results were compared to the reference predictions respectively. Finally, a method by which simple stress concentrating situations can be optimized, will be suggested. This method was examined by FEM, and showed similar tendency with the expectation. Therefore, this method can be valuable when arranging the holes on a plate.

In the fields of researches associated with plant layout optimization, the main goal is to minimize the costs of pipelines for connecting equipment. However, what is the lacking of considerations in previous researches is to handle the multi floor processes considering the safety distances for domino impacts on a complex plant. The mathematical programming formulation can be transformed into MILP (Mixed Integer Linear Programming) problems as considering safety distances, maintenance spaces, and economic benefits for solving the multi-floor plant layout problem. The objective function of this problem is to minimize piping costs connecting facilities in the process. However, it is really hard to solve this problem due to complex unequality or equality constraints such as sufficient spaces for the maintenance and passages, meaning that there are many conditional statements in the objective function. Thus, it is impossible to solve this problem with conventional optimization solvers using the derivatives of objective function. In this study, the PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) technique, which is one of the representative sampling approaches, is employed to find the optimal solution considering various constraints. The EO (Ethylene Oxide) plant is illustrated to verify the efficacy of the proposed method.

Korea follows the slope design criteria during construction. It was enacted by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. There are cases where the Soil-nail is designed as a measure to secure slope stability. The arrangement of the soil-nail may be arranged at equal intervals or may be arranged differently depending on the soil failure model. The optimum design of the countermeasure method is determined by securing stability of the slope through optimization of dimensions and shape. However, when uniform nails are placed at low elevations in slopes, the standard safety factor is exceeded, which may hinder economic design. It is preferable to arrange the reinforcement of the nails over the entire slope. When the horizontal spacing of the nails was topology optimized according to the slope height, it was possible to minimize the amount of reinforcement while satisfying the standard safety factor. Since the active load is reduced in the section where the slope height is lowered, the safety factor after reinforcement may be excessively increased. Therefore, the phase optimization method is proposed as an economical optimal design method using the reinforcing shape density. In addition, a relational expression was designed to optimize the horizontal spacing by slope height.

The proposed method for a force directed global placement algorithm exploits and extends techniques from two leading placers, Kraftwerk (& KraftwerkNC) and Mongrel. It combines the strengths of KraftwerkNC, force directed global placer, and Mongrel's ripple move technique which resolves cell overlaps effectively The proposed technique uses the force spreading technique used in Kraftwerk to optimize the ripple movement. While it is resolving the cell overlap and optimizing wire length physical net constraints are considered for timing. The experimental results obtained by the proposed approach shows significant improvement on wire length as well as on timing.

This paper introduces a study on reliability-driven device placement using simulated annealing algorithm which can be applicable to MCM or electronic systems embedded in a spacecraft running at thermal conduction environment. Reliability of the unit's has been predicted with the devices' junction temperatures calculated from FDM solver and optimized by simulated annealing algorithm. Simulated annealing in this paper adopts swapping devices method as a perturbation. This paper describes and compares the optimization simulation results with respect to two objective functions: minimization of failure rate and minimization of average junction temperature. Annealing temperature variation simulation case and equilibrium coefficient variation simulation case are also presented at the two respective objective functions. This paper proposes a new approach for reliability optimization of MCM and electronic systems considering those simulation results.

In this paper, we study the energy-efficient deployment strategy for micro base station (BS) in wireless cellular systems. Firstly, we formulate a general problem pertaining to total energy consumption minimization with the requirement of area spectral efficiency (ASE). We start from an observation about the correlation between the area covered by an additional micro BS and the increment of ASE. Under such an observation, we propose an efficient greedy micro BS deployment algorithm. Simulations show that the proposed deployment algorithm can deploy micro BSs with a slight performance reduction comparing with the optimal solution.

LRU layout is a complex problem that requires consideration of various criteria such as airworthiness, performance, maintainability and environmental requirements. As aircraft functions become more complex, the necessary equipment is increasing, and unmanned aerial vehicles are equipped with more equipment as a substitute for pilots. Due to the complexity of the problem, the increase in the number of equipment, and the limited development period, the placement of equipment is largely dependent on the engineer's insight and experience. For optimization, quantitative criteria are required for evaluation, but criteria such as safety, performance, and maintainability are difficult to quantitatively compare or have limitations. In this study, we consider the installation and maintenance of the equipment, simplify the deployment model to the traveling salesman problem, Optimization was performed using a genetic algorithm to minimize the weight of the connecting cable between the equipment. When the optimization results were compared with the global calculations, the same results were obtained with less time required, and the improvement was compared with the heuristic.

This study presents a satellite constellation method that achieves optimal revisit performance by utilizing genetic algorithm techniques. The Walker method is a global coverage concept, and there are limitations to target-centered constellation considering the strategic environment of the Korean Peninsula. To overcome these limitations, targets are set in major areas of interest in North Korea, orbit elements with optimal revisit performance for each target are searched, and based on this, the number of satellites optimized for each target is derived using a genetic algorithm. The results of this study demonstrate the performance of the optimized constellation by applying phasing rules to achieve the desired revisit performance.

The batch job scheduler recognizes the computational resources configured in the cluster environment and plays a role of efficiently arranging the jobs in order. In order to efficiently use the limited available resources in the cluster, it is important to analyze and characterize the characteristics of user tasks. To do this, it is important to identify various scheduling algorithms and apply them to the system environment. Most scheduler software reflects the user's work environment, from job submission to termination, as well as the state of the inventory and system status of the entire managed object. It also stores various information related to task execution, such as job scripts, environment variables, libraries, wait for tasks, start and end times. In this paper, we analyze the execution log of the scheduler such as user 's success rate, execution time, and resource size through information related to job execution through batch scheduler. Based on this, it can be used as a basis to optimize the system by increasing the utilization rate of resources.
