This paper is concerned with optimal design of a linear DC motor which is steading fast in OA and FA systems due to simplicity in structure high-speed operation and high-precision positioning. The approach is based on the statistic method. In this study, firstly, we determine factors that affect significantly the objective function using 2-level factorial design. And then the Response Surface Methodology was app1ied to optimize these factors. Through this application design factors could be optimized within a short term and low experimental cost.

구형 집속 빔 핵융합 장치에서 발생되는 중성자 생성률은 이온전류의 크기에 크게 의존한다. 본 논문에서는 이온전류의 크기를 증가시키기 위해 구조 설계에 주로 이용되는 다구찌 실험계획법을 이용하여 최적의 설계 조건을 계산하였다. 최적화를 위해 그리드 음극 형상의 결정인자 및 압력을 설계 변수로 선택하였고, 설계변수가 이온전류의 크기에 미치는 영향력을 분석하여 최적의 조건을 도출하였으며, 예측된 최적 조건 변수값을 적용하여 효과를 검증하였다. 최적 모델로부터 더 큰 이온전류를 얻을 수 있었으며, 이는 더 깊은 포텐셜 우물에서 측정되었다.

본 논문은 인간의 보행에 대한 에너지 분석을 통해 biped robot의 설계 단계에서 최적의 보행제어인자를 추출하기 위한 연구이다. 에너지 효율이 높은 보행인자 값을 얻기 위해 인간의 보행영상을 획득하고, 획득된 영상을 5-link biped robot model로 근사화하여 dynamics와 energy를 분석한다. 또한 link의 길이 비율과 link의 무게, link의 관성의 변화를 통해 5-link로 근사화된 인간의 보행 효율과 기구적 요소 사이의 민감도를 판단할 수 있다. 인간과 자유도가 다른 biped robot이 인간과 같은 보행을 위하여 설계단계에서 고려되어야할 중요한 기구적 요소가 이러한 민감도를 통해 구해진다.

상수도 관망은 비정상상황에서도 안전한 물을 안정적으로 공급하는 것을 목표로 한다. 따라서 상수도 관망의 최적 설계는 수리학적 제약조건 (i.e., 절점의 압력, 관의 유속)을 만족하는 설계안을 제시한다. 하지만 점차 커지는 도시 규모에 따라 수질적으로 안전한 물을 공급하지 못하는 문제가 발생하고 있다. 또한, 상수도시스템의 형식 (i.e., 수지상식, 혼합식, 순환식)에 따라 용수의 체류 시간, 절점의 압력 등이 상이하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 도시 규모 및 형식과 잔류염소 농도를 고려한 상수도시스템 최적 설계를 진행하였다. 절점의 개수에 따라 도시의 규모를 분류하였으며, BI(BI; Branch Index) 지수를 통해 상수도시스템의 형식을 분류하였다. 또한, 수리학적 제약조건(i.e., 절점의 압력)과 수질적 제약조건 (i.e., 잔류염소 농도)을 설정하여 수리-수질을 동시에 만족하는 최적 설계안을 도출하였다. 비상시에도 물을 안정하게 공급하기 위하여 시스템의 탄력성과 설계비용을 목적함수로 설정하여 다목적 최적 설계를 진행하였다. 이러한 연구는 압력만을 고려한 기존 설계단계에서 수질적 측면을 동시에 고려하여 수질 측면의 안전성을 향상할 수 있다. 또한, 시스템의 탄력성을 고려하여 비정상상황에서도 물을 공급하여 사용성을 향상하는 설계안을 도출하여 수리학적 안정성을 만족하며, 경제적 측면도 향상할 수 있다.

The paper reviews the state of art in the design of liquefaction processes for the production of liquified natural gas, and addresses key design aspects to be considered in the design and how these design issues are systematically reflected in industrial applications. Various design options to improve energy efficiency of refrigeration cycles are discussed, including cascaded or multi-level pure refrigeration cycles which are used for covering wide range of cooling temperature, as well as mixed refrigerant cycle which can maintain a simple structure. Heat integration technique has been used for graphically examining differences of commercial cycles discussed in this paper, while energy efficiency and economics of commercial liquefaction processes has been summarized. Discussion also has been made about how to select the most appropriate set of drivers for compressors used in the liquefaction plant.

Water distribution systems (WDSs) are a representative infrastructure injecting chlorine to disinfect the pathogenic microorganisms and supplying water from sources to consumers. Also, WDSs prescribe to maintain the usual standard (0.1-4.0 mg/L) of residual chlorine. However, the user's usage pattern, water age, network shape, and type affect the hydraulic features (i.e. nodal pressure, pipe velocity) and water quality features (i.e., the residual chlorine concentration). Therefore, this study developed an optimization approach for optimizing WDSs considering water quality-hydraulic factors using Multi-objective Harmony Search (MOHS). The design cost and the system resilience were applied as the design objective functions, and the nodal pressure and the concentration of residual chlorine are used as constraints. The derived optimal designs through this approach were analyzed according to network characteristics such as the network shapes and type. These optimal designs can meet the safety of economic and water quality aspects to increase user acceptance.

This paper presents a design method for optimizing the focused beam characteristics, which are mainly determined by the condenser lenses in a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) design. Sharply reducing the probe diameter of electron beams by focusing the condenser lens (i.e., the rate of condensation) is important because a small probe diameter results in high-performance demagnification. This study explored design parameters that contribute to increasing the SEM resolution efficiently using lens analysis and the ray tracing method. A sensitivity analysis was conducted based on those results to compare the effects of these parameters on beam focusing. The results of this analysis on the design parameters for the beam characteristics can be employed as basic key information for designing a column in SEM.

Acoustic design parameters of a half-wave resonator are studied experimentally for acoustic stability in a model chamber. According to the standard acoustic-test procedures, acoustic-pressure signals are measured. Quantitative acoustic properties of damping factor and sound absorption coefficient are evaluated and thereby, the acoustic-damping capacity of the resonator is examined. The diameter and the number of a half-wave resonator, its distribution, and the diameter of an enclosure are selected as the design parameters for optimal tuning of the resonator. Aroustic-damping capacity of the resonator increases with its diameter. When the open-area ratio of the resonator exceeds the optimum value, over-damping appears, leading to the decrease in the peak absorption coefficient and the broadening of absorption bandwidth. As the resonator diameter increases, optimum open-area ratio decreases.

In this paper, the optimized design of a roof structure f3r a LNG outer tank has been analyzed using the Taguchi design method. This method may efficiently optimize the design parameters of a LNG roof structure in terms of H beam and L beam structures, and a thickness of a concrete structure. The FEM computed results indicate that the thickness of a concrete structure is a dominant factor of a roof structure design. The H and L beam structures do not affect a maximum stress and deformation of a reinfarced roof structure. This means that H and L beam structures only support a dead weight of a concrete roof during a consolidation of a reinforced concrete. Based on the computed results by the Taguchi design method, the number of beams and thickness of a reinforced concrete are given as H=30, L=7, and t=1.2m.

This study deals with the structural optimization of hybrid vertical-axis wind turbine blades using a response surface method (RSM). The structural analysis results suggest that the stress of hybrid vertical-axis wind turbine blades exceeds the yield strength. Optimization techniques are then applied to structural design to ensure a safe structure. First, the design factors that strongly influence the structural response are identified. The RSM was applied based on the design of experiments. The objective function and constraint terms set the weight and allowable stress, respectively. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis was conducted to indicate the effects of the design factors on the stress and weight. Finally, structural design was performed for the hybrid vertical-axis wind turbine blade.
