The objective of this study is to optimize the shape of doubly curved surface where a conformal array is equipped. That surface is modeled with a double-ellipsoid solid controlled by four parameters. By analyzing the performance of the conformal array beams with the beam pattern synthesis, two design parameters are determined. Then, we define the weighted object function which is formulated as the sum of sharp indexes for directivity index, the elevation resolution, and the bearing resolution. The direct calculation on all grids is used to evaluate the weighted object function and seek the optimal value of two design parameters when the weightings are given. In the simulation, four kinds of weighting cases are respectively applied to evaluate the weighted object function. The optimal shapes of double-ellipsoid solid are shown in each case. Especially, when the uniform weightings are used, the double-ellipsoid solid with more smooth surface is obtained.

Recently, automated construction machines have been developed for technically solving construction industry problems such as labor, productivity, quality and the profit decrease. In domestic construction industry, a research for developing an intelligent excavation robot has been performed. The primary objective of this research is to analysis state-of-the art technologies in order to recognize local ground shape in real-time and compute soil volume of earth moving. This research analyzed five elemental technologies for 3D modeling of local ground shape and selected an optimal technology among the five technologies through using AHP method. It is anticipated that the optimal technology selected for 3D modeling of local ground shape can be effectively used to develop the intelligent excavation robot.

The continuous Gabor wavelet transform (GWT) has been utilized as a useful time-frequency analysis tool to identify the rapidly-varying characteristics of some wave signals. In the application of GWT, it is important to select the Gabor wavelet with the optimal shape factor by which the time-frequency distribution of a signal can be accurately estimated. To find the signal-dependent optimal Gabor wavelet shape factor, the notion of the Shannon entropy which mesures the extent of signal energy concentration in the time-frequency plane is employed. To verify the validity of the present entropy-based scheme, we have applied it to the time-frequency analysis of a set of elastic bending wave signals generated by an impact in a solid cylinder.

A new algorithm for determining optimal accelerometer locations is proposed by using a frequency-domain Hankel matrix which is much simpler to construct than a time-domain Hankel matrix. The algorithm was examined through simulation studies by comparing the outcomes with those from other available methods. To compare and analyze the results from different methods, a dynamic analysis was carried out under seismic excitation and acceleration data were obtained at the selected optimal sensor locations. Vibrational amplitudes at the selected sensor locations were determined and those of all the other degrees of freedom were determined by using a spline function. MAC index of each method was calculated and compared to look at which method could determine more effective locations of accelerometers. The proposed frequency-domain Hankel matrix could determine reasonable selection of accelerometer locations compared with the others.

The International Maritime Organization has recently strengthened its marine environment regulations. The energy efficiency index has long been an important indicator of ship design, and now, energy efficiency is being enforced for existing ships as well as new ships. To increase the energy efficiency of existing ships, methods such as retrofitting the bow bulb, selecting an optimized trim during ship operation, and installing an energy saving device have been applied. In this study, the ship resistance was numerically simulated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) under various bow and stern trim conditions. In addition, the bulb was redesigned to further improve the resistance performance under the selected trim conditions. When the improved bulb was applied, the effective horse power increased by approximately 5%. It is, however, necessary to verify whether the redesigned bulb can reduce ship resistance in waves.

For the Earth observation satellite for ISR mission, a satellite constellation can be utilized to observe a specific area periodically and ultimately increase the effectiveness of the mission. The Walker-Delta method was applied to design constellation orbits with four satellites, which could detect abnormal activities in AoI(Area of Interest). To evaluate the effectiveness of the mission, a revisiting time was selected as a key requirement. This paper presents the mission analysis process for four SAR satellites constellation as well as the result of constellation configuration design to meet the requirements. Figure of Merits analysis was performed based on algorithm developed. Finally, it was confirmed that the constellation orbit with four different orbital planes is likely to be appropriate for ISR mission.

Improvement of the radiation beam profile of a medical ultrasonic transducer has been researched in this paper. In order to improve the beam profile, a new transducer structure has been devised that includes both a shaded electrode and a multi-focus lens. For a linear sound source, the beam profile was investigated through finite element analysis, and then the optimal design of the devised structure was carried out by considering such performances as sidelobe level, focal range and beamwidth simultaneously. In the process, the optimal dimension of the devised structure was derived by using the ratio of the focal range to the minimum beamwidth as a performance index. As a result, the beam profile has been improved to have a lower sidelobe level at -20.2 dB and a consistent narrow beamwidth from 30 mm to 160 mm depth with the minimum beamwidth at 2.04 mm. Further, a prototype transducer was fabricated to have the devised structure, and its performance was measured and compared with the analysis results to confirm the validity of the devised transducer structure.

본 연구에서는 달천구간 (괴산댐~송동보)에서 어류 군집 (Fish Community)을 고려한 생태학적 최적유량 (Ecological Optimum Discharge)을 산정하였다. 이를 위해 유량증진방법론(IFIM: Instream Flow Incremental Methodology)을 기반으로 한 2차원 모형인 River-2D를 적용하여 수리해석 및 대상어종 (Target Fishes)에 대한 가중가용면적 (WUA: Weighted Usable Area)을 산정하였다. 모형 검증을 위해 김원 등 (2007)에 의해 수행된 과업구간 내 수위 및 유량 모니터링 자료를 활용하였으며, 하류경계조건은 김지성 등 (2007)에 의한 수위-유량 관계곡선식을 활용하였다. 또한 평저류량 조건에서의 조도높이 (Roughness Height) 산정을 위해 유량 및 하상재료의 영향을 고려할 수 있는 멱함수 및 반대수함수 형태의 조도계수 공식을 적용하였다. 모형검증 결과 River-2D에 의해 계산된 수위값이 모니터링값과 비교적 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 대상유역에 대한 어류 모니터링 (에코리버21사업단, 2007~2010) 결과를 바탕으로, 과업지역내 우점종 (피라미), 아우점종 (쉬리 등 3개 어종), 멸종위기어종 (묵납자루)을 대상어종으로 선정하였으며, 대상어종에 대한 서식도적합도지수 (HSI, Habitat Suitability Index) 산정을 위해 IFASG (Instream Flow and Aquatic Systems Group) 방법 및 WDWF (Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife) 방법을 적용하였다. 수심, 유속, 하상재료 및 하상형상에 대한 서식도적합도지수가 5가지 대상어종에 대해 각각 산정되었으며, 복합적합도지수 (CSI : Combined Suitability Index)를 고려한 과업대상 위치별 어류의 발생확률이 모의되었다. 어류 군집에 대한 가중가용면적 (WUA)이 최대로 되는 생태학적 최적유량 산정 결과, Type I~III의 경우 모두 $10m^3/s$ 이하의 유량조건에 대해서 WUA가 최대값을 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 납자루속의 어류 (Type III)의 WUA가 000 및 000속 (Type II)의 어류에 비해서 작은 유량에서 더 큰 값을 갖으며, $10m^3/$s 초과 유량에 대해서는 반대의 경향이 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Reliability Based Design Optimization(RBDO) is one of the optimization methods that minimize the product failure due to small changes of operating conditions or process errors. It searches the optimum that satisfies the safety margin of each constraint, and it gives stable and reliable designs. However, RBDO requires many times oj computational efforts compared with the conventional deterministic optimization(DO) to evaluate the probability of failure about each constraint, therefore it is hard to apply directly to large-scaled problems such as a flexible wing shape design optimization. For the efficient reliability analysis, the approximate reliability analysis method with the two-point approximation(TPA) is proposed In this study, the lift-to-drag ratio maximization designs are performed with 3-dimensional Navier-Stokes analysis and NASTRAN structural analysis, and the optimization results about the deterministic, FORM and SORM are compared.
