대용량 BLDC 모터의 진동과 소음의 원인은 영구자석과 슬롯형상에 의한 코깅토크와 전류 파형에 의한 고주파이다. 특히 대용량 BLDC의 경우 코깅토크에 의한 진동 및 소음의 영향이 상대적으로 큰 값을 가지게 되며, 본 연구는 5MW급 연구자석형 전동기에서 코깅토크 발생원인 중 하나인 영구자석의 형상을 최적화하기 위하여 RSM(Response Surface Method)과 민감도기법을 적용하여 코깅토크 저감을 위한 연구를 하였다. FEM에 의해서 자속밀도분포와 토크를 계산하고, 1개의 목적함수와 3개의 설계변수를 설정하여 최적화 하였다. FEM과 최적화기법(RSM+민감도기법)을 결합하여 영구자석의 형상을 최적화한 결과 코깅토크의 ripple이 최대 20%정도로 감소되었으며, 목적함수와 설계변수의 개수에 따라 더욱 개선될 수 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 차세대 대체에너지로 각광받는 풍력발전 중에서 육상발전보다 여러 가지 이점이 있는 한국형 해상풍력터빈 블레이드의 최적형상설계를 위한 알고리즘을 구현하는 것이다. 블레이드 단면 익형의 양력과 항력 분포는 XFOIL을 이용하여 예측하였다. 첫 번째 수준의 설계변수인 각각의 블레이드 지름과 축 회전수에서 익형의 공력변수들과 최소에너지손실 조건을 이용하여 두 번째 설계변수인 각 블레이드 단면에서의 시위길이와 피치각 분포를 최적화하였다. 그리고 성능결과를 바탕으로 반응면을 구성하고, 확률적 방법을 이용하여 타당성 있는 설계공간까지 첫 번째 설계변수를 이동시키고 구배최적화 기법을 통해 각각의 제약함수를 만족하면서 목적함수를 죄대로 하는 최적블레이드 형상을 구현하였다. 설계된 최적형상에 대해 탈설계점 해석을 수행하여 성능을 구하였다.

An optimization study on a small turbopump impeller operating at the low specific speed is conducted to obtain high output head at the impeller exit. Its specific speed in SI unit (RPM, m3/sec, m) is 4.0, and the outer diameter is 56mm. On the optimization, the outer diameter of the impeller is maintained constant to restrict the pump size, and an objective function of pressure head is maximized with eight design variables, which are related with designing an impeller shape. The response surface method is used to the optimization scheme, and the commercial code CFX-10 is applied for numerical analysis. The pressure head of the objective function obtained with an optimized impeller is increased by 9.7% compared with that obtained on an impeller designed with typically recommended design parameters. This increment is caused by reducing the recirculation region within the impeller passage.

Several cooling techinques have been studied for protecting gas turbine blades from hot gas. In terms of film-cooling techniques, various shapes of film cooling holes have been studied including fan shaped holes, which are used on gas turbine blades. However, owing to increasing demands on smaller gas turbines, a research on film-cooling holes on thin walls is required. This study was conducted at blowing ratios of 1 and 2, using numerical analysis. Through the numerical analysis, the effect of geometrical parameters on the effectiveness of fan-shaped hole film cooling was studied. Moreover, optimization was performed on three geometrical parameters: metering length, lateral expansion angle and forward expansion angle. As a result, we realized that the optimal fan-shaped holes on each blowing ratio were found to have very similar geometry and cooling performance.

The purpose of this paper was to develop size & shape optimization programming algorithm of plane trusses. The optimum techniques applied in this study were extended penalty method of Sequential Unconstrained Minimization Techniques(SUMT) and direct search method with multi-variables proposed by Hooke & Jeeves. Upper mentioned two methods were used iteratively at each level of size and shape optimization routines. The design variables of size optimization were circular steel tube(structural member) diameter and thickness, those of shape optimization were joint coordinates, and the objective function was represented as total weight of truss. During the optimum design, two level procedures of size and shape optimization were interacted iteratively until the final optimum values were attained. At the previous studies about shape optimization of truss, the member sectional areas and coordinates were applied as design variables. So that they could not apply the buckling effect of compression member. In this paper, actual sizes of member and nodal coordinates are used as design variables to consider the buckling effect of compression member properly.

This paper considers the problem of optimum shaping of steel arches subjected to general loading. The weight of arches is considered as the objective function and the appropriate combinations of section forces, material volume, arc length, and closed section area of arches are considered as the stress constraints. The shape optimization problems are formulated in terms of the design variables of sectional areas of each element. First the cost sensitivity of the design is investigated. Then the investigation comprises the search for the optimum arch form as well as the optimum area distribution along the arch. Two spaces of shape optimization algorithm will be treated, the first space corresponding to the section optimization by the Modified Newton Raphson Method, and the second space to the coordinate optimization by the Powell Method. The optimization algorithm is evaluated and the optimum span-rise ratios for the given arches are evaluated.

토폴로지 설계는 미리 형상이 결정되지 않은 새로운 개념의 제품을 설계하고자 할 때나 설계 경험이 풍부하지 못한 경우, 그 개념적 형상을 결정하는 데 매우 유용하다. 실제로 이러한 토폴 로지 설계의 결과를 최근 급속 시제품 제작기(rapid prototyping machine)와 함께 사용하게 되면 처음 개념설계에서 최초시제품의 형상을 예측하고 제작하는 데 많은 시간을 절약할 것으로 판 단된다. 그러나 토폴로지 최적화에 따른 구조물은 구조물의 한계 질량내에서 평균 강성이 가장 큰 구조물일 뿐, 국부적인 응력한계에 대한 최적화는 아니다. 따라서 최종적인 최적화 형상을 얻기 위해서는, 먼저 한계질량을 갖는 최적 토폴로지 구조물의 모델을 구하고, 이 모델에 대하여 설계변수에 따른 민감도 해석을 수행하여 최대응력의 한계값을 갖는 구조를 구하면 된다. 그림 10은 이러한 토폴로지 최적화와 민감도 해석을 통한 최적화를 수행하는 복합 최적설계 과정에 흐름도이다. 설계민감도 해석은 본 연구의 범위에 포함되지 않아서 여기서는 제외하였지만, 이에 관한 일반 상업화된 소프트웨어들이 많이 나와 있으므로 이를 참조하면 된다.

In this research, a multilevel decomposition technique to enhance the efficiency of the configuration optimization of truss structures was proposed. On the first level, the nonlinear programming problem was formulated considering cross-sectional areas as design variables, weight, or volume as objective function and behavior under multiloading condition as design constraint. Said nonlinear programming problem was transformed into a sequential linear programming problem. which was effective in calculation through the approximation of member forces using behavior space approach. Such approach has proven to be efficient in sensitivity analysis and different form existing shape optimization studies. The modified method of feasible direction (MMFD) was used for the optimization process. On the second level, by treating only shape design variables, the optimum problem was transformed into and unconstrained optimal design problem. A unidirectional search technique was used. As numerical examples, some truss structures were applied to illustrate the applicability. and validity of the formulated algorithm.

A dynamic analysis method that freezes a time domain by discretization and solves the spatial propagation equation has a unique feature that provides a degree of freedom on spatial domain compared with the space discretization or space-time discretization finite element method. Using this feature, the time finite element analysis can be effectively applied to optimize the spatial characteristics of distributed type actuators. In this research, the time domain finite element method was used to discretize the model. A state variable vector was used in the discretization to include arbitrary initial conditions. A performance index was proposed on spatial domain to consider both potential and vibrational energy, so that the resulting shape of the distributed actuator was optimized for dynamic control of the structure. It is assumed that the structure satisfies the final rest condition using the realizable control scheme although the initial disturbance can affect the system response. Both equations on states and costates were derived based on the selected performance index and structural model. Ricatti matrix differential equations on state and costate variables were derived by the reconfiguration of the sub-matrices and application of time/space boundary conditions, and finally optimal actuator distribution was obtained. Numerical simulation results validated the proposed actuator shape optimization scheme.
