Many algorithms to enhance a speed performance of a robot have been studied, but it's rare to consider disign aspect of a robot arm for time optimal problem. In this paper, section demensions of a robot arm and a velocity profile of an end-effector were optimally designed to minimize the cycle time. Capacity of actuators, deflections of end-effector, and a fundamental natural frequency of the robot arm were constrained in optimal design. For a given path with a trapezoidal velocity profile, torques of each joint were calculated using the inverse kinematics and dynamics. For the SCARA type robot which is mainly used for assembly tasks, the time optimal design of each robot arm id presented with the above constraints.

In the machine tool spindle, various tasks ranging from roughing to finishing must be possible, and the functions of constant speed movement or rotation positioning must be performed. Therefore, there are many variables to be considered in the spindle design. The Swiss Turn Type spindle automatic lathe is a good machine tool for working pins with thinner shafts than a fixed automatic lathe. The Swiss Turn Type spindle is mainly used for precision machining of small products, so the machining precision should be high. The maximum outer diameter limit shall be Ø32 and the inner diameter limit shall be Ø6. In this study, the static and dynamic characteristics of the SCM440 material used in the spindle type automatic lathe were analyzed by applying it to the Swiss turn type spindle automatic lathe. Numerical analysis was used to obtain optimal design technique with high speed and high accuracy considering the factors affecting the static and dynamic characteristics of the spindle.

Some network equipments made in Korea were exposed to severe earthquake in Japan several years ago. More than a hundred slim base transfer network stations had been seized with the severe earthquake at Nigata and it was reported that less than fifteen sets showed blackout by interruption of electricity, not by the structural failure. The purpose of this paper is to check the structural safety of the network equipments by performing table test, and the static and dynamic finite element analysis. For the dynamic test, the station weighing 200 kg was subjected to the Zone 3 earthquake loading of GR-63-CORE on the shaking table to obtain the dynamic responses to compare with the analysis results. It is shown that the FE analysis results are a little bit larger than that of the experimental values. And the sensitivity analysis and optimization for the natural frequency is performed and it is found that the first natural frequency is sensitive to small design change as shown in the results. And the dynamic response of optimized design is less than the original design.

수위 관측 지점의 선정은 관측 기록의 목적, 지점의 접근성 등에 의해 결정되며, 수위는 유량을 계산하기 위한 필수 자료이므로 수위 관측 지점의 위치를 선정하는데 있어 수리조건은 매우 중요한 요소이다. 이에 수위관측소(WLS, Water Level Station)는 홍수예경보, 수해방지 등의 치수계획과 하천운영, 용수공급 등의 이수계획 및 생태계 보전을 위한 수질관리계획 등의 목적을 달성할 수 있는 지점에 WMO에서 제시한 수위관측소의 최소 밀도를 고려하여 설치된다. 한국의 경우 치수측면에서 홍수예경보시스템의 홍수예보 대상지점과 홍수유출 계산지점을 가장 중요한 요소로 판단한다. 이에 홍수통제소에서 운영하는 홍수예보 프로그램에 적절한 수위관측망을 고려하기 위하여 프로그램에서 사용되고 있는 소유역 출구점 또는 합류점을 모두 수위관측소 위치로 포함시키고 있다. 인도네시아 Citarum강 홍수예경보 모형의 실행 및 검정을 위해서는 주요 지류의 출구마다 수위관측소를 설치하는 것이 바람직하나, 수위관측소의 설치 및 운영에는 많은 비용이 소요되기 때문에 주어진 예산을 고려해야 하며, 홍수예보를 실시하는 이유는 홍수로 인한 피해를 경감시키기 위한 것이기 때문에 인구와 홍수피해 잠재성이 높은 지점을 위주로 설치를 계획하여야 한다. 사업 대상지역인 Citarum강에서 BBWSC가 운영 관리하는 WLS는 29개소이며, 이 중 대상지역인 Upper Citarum Basin(UCRB)에는 20개소의 WLS가 운영되고 있다. 본 설계에서는 $300km^2$당 1개소의 수위관측소를 설치하는 것을 기준으로 설정하여 홍수예경보가 필요한 WLS 8개소를 도출하였으며, 소유역의 출구점 또는 합류점 등을 고려하여 수위관측소 위치를 결정하였다. 또한 UCRB의 과거 홍수피해상황, 과거 홍수범람실적, 홍수범람도 등을 조사하였으며, 실시간 자료 전송을 위한 통신 환경, 차량의 접근 용이성 및 하천구역 대표성 등을 고려하여 홍수예경보 구축을 위한 최적의 수위관측망을 설계하였다.

In this paper, helical wave wire have been proposed as the vehicle connector for the wireless access in vehicular environments(5.925GHz) communication. This helical slow wave connector is design by considering the properties of critical parameter like helical mean radius, helical pitch, helical wire radius and distance of helical wire to shield. The design simulation and results can be used to determine the most suitable helical wave wire dimensions for vehicle communication connector. The optimized WAVE connector inserted the helical wave wire has insertion loss less than -0.76dB at 5.925GHz. It provides 31% of insertion loss with good performance. Therefore, the simulated results can be effectively used for optimum design of high frequency connector for vehicle communication.

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.

As most of small fishing boats made of FRP have been constructed by experience in Korea, some structural safety problems have been occurred occasionally. To improve the structural strength and reduce the costs for construction and operation, optimum design for small fishing boat was carried out in this study. The weight of fishing boat and the main dimensions of structural members are chosen as objective function and design variables, respectively. By the combination of global and local search methods, a hybrid optimization algorithm was developed to escape the local minima and reduce CPU time in analysis procedure, and finite element analysis was performed to determine the constraint parameters at each iteration step in optimization loop. Optimization results were compared with the real existing fishing boat, and the effects of optimum design were examined from points of view; structural strength, material cost, etc.

As U.S. congress and I.M.O. have recently adopted strengthened MARPOL73/78 regulations on marine pollution, it is necessary to develope a new type of tankers such as Double hull tanker(D/H Tanker) and Mid-deck tanker(M/D Tanker) and so on. Because most of researches are concentrated on the volume of oil spill due to collision of ships, in this paper, a structural design program for D/H Tankers and M/D Tankers is developed to suggest the effective type of tankers by comparing structural characteristics between their types. By this program, minimum hull weight designs of D/H tankers and M/D tankers considering tank arrangement are performed and the design results are compared each other. The efficient types of hull structure for the minimum weight design between D/H tankers and M/D tankers is proposed.
