This paper describes a new algorithm based on design sensitivity analysis for optimal shape design of electrostatic devices. The design sensitivity, the variation of the object function with respect to the design variables, is derived by using implicit differentiation and direct boundary element methods. The proposed algorithm is applied to the optimal shape design of a concentric cable and the rod electrode enclosed by earthed case, It is shown, from the numerical results, that the algorithm is very usefull for the optimal shape design of the electrostatic devices.

A novel 3D shape optimization algorithm is presented for electromagnetic devices carry-ing eddy current. The algorithm integrates the 3D finite element performance analysis and the steepest descent method with design sensitivity and mesh relocation method. For the design sensitivity formula, the adjoint variable vector is defined in complex form based on the 3D finite element method for eddy current problems. A new 3D mesh relocation method is also proposed using the deformation theory of the elastic body under stress to renew the mesh as the shape changes. The design sensitivity f3r the sur-face nodal points is also systematically converted into that for the design variables for the parameterized optimization application. The proposed algorithm is applied to the optimum design of the tank shield model of the transformer and the effectiveness is proved.

The design cycle associated with large engineering systems requires an initial decomposition of the complex system into design processes which are coupled through the transference of output data. Some of these design processes may be grouped into iterative subcycles. In analyzing or optimizing such a coupled system, it is essential to determine the best order of the processes within these subcycles to reduce design cycle time and cost. This is accomplished by decomposing large multidisciplinary problems into several sub design structure matrices (DSMs) and processing them in parallel This paper proposes a new method for parallel decomposition of multidisciplinary problems to improve design efficiency by using the multi-objective genetic algorithm and two sample test cases are presented to show the effect of the suggested decomposition method.

In this paper, the research contents and results related to the automation of the hull-form optimal design of container ships are summarized. A container ship is a ship that generally operates near Froude number of 0.26. To implement hull-form optimal design automation for ships operating at this speed, an optimization algorithm, a hull-form change algorithm, a ship performance prediction algorithm, an automation algorithm, and an iterative calculation technique were applied to develop a numerical analysis computer program that enables hull-form optimal design automation of the container ship, and it was named HOTCONTAINER. In this study, a sensitivity analysis algorithm was developed and applied to appropriately set design variables for hull-form optimal design. To understand the reliability and real ship applicability of the developed algorithm, a numerical analysis was performed on KCS(KRISO Container Ship), a container ship that has been studied in various ways worldwide. Consequently, the optimal ship was derived, and the wave resistance, wave pattern, and wave height of the target and optimal ship were compared. In conclusion, compared the target ship, the optimal ship a 47.63% decrease in wave resistance, and the displacement and wet surface area decreased by 0.50% and 0.39%, respectively.

The need for information security increases interests on cipher algorithms recently. Especially, a large volume of data transmission over high-band communication network requires faster encryption and decryption techniques for real-time processing. It would be a good solution for this problem that we implement the cipher algorithm in forms of hardware circuits. Though some previous researches use this approach, they focus only on repeatedly executing the core part of the algorithm to minimize the hardware chip size, while most cipher algorithms are inherently parallel. In this paper, we propose a new design for the SEED block cipher algorithm developed by KISA (Korea Information Security Agency) in 1998 as Korean standard cipher algorithm. It exploits the parallelism of the algorithm basically and implements it in a pipelined fashion. We described the design in VHDL program and performed functional simulations on the program, and then found that it worked correctly. In addition, we synthesized it and verified that it could be implemented in a single FPGA chip, implying that the new design can be Practically used for the actual hardware implementation of a high-speed and high-performance cipher system.

Using the genetic algorithm, the optimal-design technique of the Nielsen arch bridge was proposed in this paper. The design parameters were the arch-rise ratio and the steel weight ratio of the Nielsen arch bridge, and optimal-design techniques were utilized to analyze the behavior of the bridge. The optimal parameter values were determined for the estimated optimal level. The parameter determination requires the standardization of the safety, utility, and economic concepts as the critical factors of a structure. For this, a genetic algorithm was used, whose global-optimal-solution search ability is superior to the optimization technique, and whose object function in the optimal design is the total weight of the structure. The constraints for the optimization were displacement, internal stress, and time and space. The structural analysis was a combination of the small displacement theory and the genetic algorithm, and the runtime was reduced for parallel processing. The optimal-design technique that was developed in this study was employed and deduced using the optimal arch-rise ratio, steel weight ratio, and optimal-design domain. The optimal-design technique was presented so it could be applied in the industry.

In this paper, a parallel micro genetic algorithm was utilized in the optimal design of composite structures instead of a conventional genetic algorithm(SGA). Micro genetic algorithm searches the optimal design variables with only 5 individuals. The diversities from the nominal convergence and the re-initialization processes make micro genetic algorithm to find out the optimums with such a small population size. Two different composite structure optimization problems were proposed to confirm the efficiency of micro genetic algorithm compared with SGA. The results showed that micro genetic algorithm can get the solutions of the same level of SGA while reducing the calculation costs up to 70% of SGA. The composite laminated structure optimization under the load uncertainty was conducted using micro genetic algorithm. The result revealed that the design variables regarding the load uncertainty are less sensitive to load variation than that of fixed applied load. From the above-mentioned results, we confirmed micro genetic algorithm as a optimization method of composite structures is efficient.

The design method of synthetic aperture radar processor (SARP) in the critical design stage is to describe the processing algorithm, to estimate the fractional errors, and to set out the software (SW) and hardware (HW) mapping. The previous design methods for SARP are complex and depend on HW. Therefore, this paper proposes a critical design method that is of more general and independent of HW. This methodology can be applied for developing the space-based SARP using range-Doppler algorithm (RDA).

The efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm including the proposed reanalysis technique is demonstrated by comparing it with a conventional optimization algorithm. A few of design examples are optimized to show the applicability of the proposed algorithm.

In this study, we present the architecture design of data control system in water hazard information platform with analyzing the complexity of the data processing. Generally, data control systems in data collection and analysis platforms base on the constant data-algorithm data processing meaning that data processing between data and algorithm is fixed. But the number of data processing in data control system is rapidly increasing because of increasing of complexity of system. To hold down the number of data processing, dynamic data-algorithm data processing is able to be applied to data control system. After comparison each data-algorithm data processing method, we suggest design method of the data control system optimizing water hazard information platform.
