In this paper, a practical procedure for the design optimization of tubular-steel-pile-type substructure in a mooring dolphin is investigated and numerically evaluated. In the finite-dimensional optimum design formulation, geometry and cross-sectional shapes of classified group of piles are identified as design variables. The design objective is the total weight of piles, and the design constraints on stresses, penetration depth, and size limits are imposed. Several classes of practical design alternatives are sought through the linking and fixing of design variables. Among the available numerical optimization codes, both PLBA program and DNCONF subroutine in IMSL library are used. They are based on SQP algorithm and relatively easy to get. A dolphin of numerical example has 20 tubular steel piles, 4 vertical and 16 inclined. Optimum designs for different cases are successfully obtained for the practical purpose.

In this study, an optimal design study has been made to determine dimensions of die and multi stress rings for extrusion process. For this purpose, a thermo-rigid-viscoplastic finite element program, CAMPform, was used fur forming analysis of extrusion process and a developed elastic finite element program fur elastic stress analysis of the die set including stress rings. And an optimization program, DOT, was employed for the optimization analysis. From this investigation, it was found out that the amount of shrink fitting incurred by the order of assembly of the die set should be taken into account for optimization when the multi stress rings are used in practice. In addition, it is construed that the proposed design method can be beneficial fur improving the tool life of cold extrusion die set.

The widlass base frame which is currently used is designed by lots of volume and costs so as to obtain high rigidity in spite of the greatly external load. The purpose of this research is to draw conceptual design of optimal design which can satisfy high rigidity existing windlass base frame has and lessening the body at the same time. Therefore, it progressed conceptual design by applying Topology optimization and Size optimization based on the finite-element analysis for the early model and indicated the result by comparing the early model with optimized model. As the result of Topology optimization, its stress was increased by about 6MPa and weight was decreased by about 560kg in comparison with the early model. In addition, in case of Size optimization, its stress was increased by about 7MPa and weight was decreased by about 1,560kg in comparison with the early model.

LMTT (Linear Motor-based Transfer Techn-ology) is a horizontal transfer system for the yard automation, which has been proposed to take the place of AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) in the maritime container terminal. The system is based on PLMSL (Permanent Magnetic Linear Synchronous Motor) that consists of stator modules on the rail and shuttle car. It is desirable to reduce the weight of LMTT in order to control the electronic devices with minimum energy. In this research, the DACE modeling, known as the one of Kriging interpolation, is introduced to obtain the surrogate approximation model of the structural responses. Then, the GRG(Generalized Reduced Gradient) method built in Excel is adopted to determine the optimum. The objective function is set up as weight. On the contrary, the design variables are considered as transverse, longitudinal and wheel beam's thicknesses, and the constraints are the maximum stresses generated by four loading conditions.

In this study an optimization of greenhouse roof shape was performed to maximize solar light transmission which is one of the most important elements in greenhouse environment. To determine roof shape that maximize the total light transmissivity, a computer model for analysing light transmissivity was composed and the Genetic Algorithms was applied for solving optimization problems. By setting composite model as objective function(fitness function), the optimum combination of design variables(roof inclination angle, width ratio) was searched using Genetic Algorithms. The optimum combination of input variables for the maximum light transmissivity at Suwon in winter was found 40 degree root angle , 0.5 width ratio, for two span greenhouses and 37 $_。 / roof angle, 0.7 width ratio, for single span greenhouses.es.

In this study, a problem formulation and solution for design optimization of laminate composite cylindrical beam section is presented. The objective of this research is to determine the optimal dimension of the laminated composite cylindrical beam sections which has the equivalent flexural rigidities to those of the steel cylindrical beam sections. The analytical model is based on the laminate theory and accounts for the material coupling for arbitrary laminate stacking sequence configuration. The outer diameter and thickness of the beam are design variables. The solutions described are found using a global search algorithm, Genetic Algorithms (GA).

On the basis of structural analysis of the radial gate(that is, Tainter gate), this paper focuses on the optimization of the moment distribution according to the location of the arm of the radial gate. In spite of its importance from economical view point, we could hardly find the study on the optimum design of radial gate. Accordingly, the present study identifies the optimum section modulus for a radial arm along with the optimum position for 2 of 3 radial arms with a convex cylindrical skin plate relative to a given radius of the skin plate curvature, pivot point, water depth, ice pressure, etc. These optimum measurements are then compared with previously constructed radial gates. The results indicate that the optimum section modulus vague for a radial arm was appreciably smaller than the previously constructed examples.

The comparative study of regression-model-based approximate optimization techniques used in the strength design of an automotive knuckle component that will be under bump and brake loading conditions is carried out. The design problem is formulated such that the cross-sectional sizing variables are determined by minimizing the weight of the knuckle component that is subjected to stresses, deformations, and vibration frequency constraints. The techniques used in the comparative study are sequential approximate optimization (SAO), sequential two-point diagonal quadratic approximate optimization (STDQAO), and approximate optimization based on enhanced moving least squares method (MLSM), such as CF (constraint feasible)-MLSM and Post-MLSM. Commercial process integration and design optimization (PIDO) tools are utilized for the application of SAO and STDQAO. The enhanced MLSM-based approximate optimization techniques are newly developed to ensure constraint feasibility. The results of the approximate optimization techniques are compared with those of actual non-approximate optimization to evaluate their numerical performances.
