In order to identify the design parameters of a hydraulic engine mount with a nonlinear characteristics, an experimental method has been used generally. The method takes a considerable time and expense because of preparing an experimental apparatus, conducting a test, and analyzing results. Therefore, this paper presents a simple method to identify the design parameters of a cylindrical hydraulic engine mount, and optimize the design parameters. The physical model and mathematical equations of the mount were derived, and values of the design parameters of the mount were identified by optimization method with minimizing difference between the analytical results with the equations and the experimental results. This method is more simpler than the conventional experiment method and identify successfully the design parameters. In addition, the technique can optimize the design parameters of the mount to improves the isolation performance of the mount.

Due to the nature of cavitation numerical analyses, computational optimization of a pump with respect to the cavitation properties is extremely demanding. In this paper it is shown how a combination of Transient Blade Row (TBR) method and some simplifications can be used for making the optimization process more efficient and thus possible on current generation of hardware. The aim of the paper is not the theory of hydraulic design. Instead, the practical aspects of numerical optimization are shown. This is done on an example of a radial pump and a combination of ANSYS CFX, ANSYS software tools and custom scripts is used. First, a comparison of TBR and fully-transient simulation is made. Based on the results, the TBR method is chosen and a parametric model assembled. Design of Experiment (DOE) table is computed and the results are used for sensitivity analysis. As the last step, the final design is created and computed as fully-transient. In conclusion, the results are discussed.

This paper presents the optimization technique to select the design parameters of a hydraulic servo valve using the genetic algorithm. The dynamic performance is governed by the design parameters of the servo valve and they may be select by repeated number of simulations such that the desired performance is obtained. Using the genetic algorithm to optimize the design parameters, effective method is suggested. This method can be used for the design of the hydraulic systems as well as the servo valve.

A gas-assisted hydraulic breaker uses both hydraulic and pneumatic energies and the appropriate balance between them mostly effects its performance. Mathematical modeling of the breaker is established and verified by experiment. Through sensitivity analysis using AMESim, the key design parameters are selected, which mostly affect the performance of the breaker. Taguchi method is used to optimize the key design parameters to maximize the output power for long and short strokes through simulation. As the result, the output power as well as the impact energy are increased significantly compared with the existing design. The pressure pulsation in the supply line is reduced to a tolerable level and the dynamic characteristics of the piston displacement is also improved by the optimization.

The paper concerns the description of the step by step development process of the new fixed blade runner called "Mixer" suitable for the uprating of the Francis turbines units installed at the older low head hydropower plants. In the paper the details of hydraulic and mechanical design are presented. Since the rotational speed of the new runner is significantly higher then the rotational speed of the original Francis one, the direct coupling of the turbine to the generator can be applied. The maximum efficiency at prescribed operational point was reached by the geometry optimization of two most important components. In the first step the optimization of the draft tube geometry was carried out. The condition for the draft tube geometry optimization was to design the new geometry of the draft tube within the original bad draft tube shape without any extensive civil works. The runner blade geometry optimization was carried out on the runner coupled with the draft tube domain. The blade geometry of the runner was optimized using automatic direct search optimization procedure. The method used for the objective function minimum search is a kind of the Nelder-Mead simplex method. The objective function concerns efficiency, required net head and cavitation features. After successful hydraulic design the modal and stress analysis was carried out on the prototype scale runner. The static pressure distribution from flow simulation was used as a load condition. The modal analysis in air and in water was carried out and the results were compared. The final runner was manufactured in model scale and it is going to be tested in hydraulic laboratory. Since the turbine with the fixed blade runner does not allow double regulation like in case of full Kaplan turbine, it can be profitably used mainly at power plants with smaller changes of operational conditions or in case with more units installed. The advantages are simple manufacturing, installation and therefore lower expenses and short delivery time for turbine uprating.

As a result, the impact energy is increased by 18.9% and the output power is increased by 12.4% compared with the current design. The pressure pulsation in the supply line is also reduced by the optimization.

This paper presents the hydrodynamic design and performance analysis method for a miniaturized centrifugal blood pump using three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code. In order to obtain the hydraulically high efficient configuration of a miniaturized centrifugal blood pump for cardiopulmonary circulation, a well-established commercial CFD code was incorporated considering detailed flow dynamic phenomena in the blood pump system. A prototype of centrifugal blood pump developed by the present design and analysis method has been tested in the mock circulatory system. Predicted results by the CFD code agree very well with in vitro hydraulic performance data for a centrifugal blood pump over the entire operating conditions. Preliminary in vivo animal testing has also been conducted to demonstrate the hemodynamic feasibility for use of centrifugal blood pump as a mechanical circulatory support. A miniaturized centrifugal blood pump developed by the hydraulic design optimization and performance prediction method presented herein shows the possibility of a good candidate for intra and extracorporeal cardiopulmonary circulation pump in the near future.

The piping route of hydraulic hose is designed with avoiding interferences to surrounding components. However, in a real practice, the piping route is mostly decided with an expert's experiences on site due to the complexity of design. Thus, this paper proposes a design methodology of the optimized route of a hose. We use NURBS representation to describe the piping route, which is possible to be locally modified, and an energy minimization method is applied to avoid interferences to the surroundings. In other words, the NURBS curve describing a piping route is modified to meet the desired positions from minimizing the perturbation of the control points, and the strain energy of the curve is then optimized to make the curve natural. The proposed method is implemented and its feasibility is validated using the commercial CAD software, CATIA V5.

그간 국내 유압 드리프터는 해외 선진사의 제품을 벤치마킹하여 개발되었지만, 이는 한국형 유압드릴 파워팩 특성(대유량, 저압)에 적합하지 않아 우수한 타격성능을 나타내지 못하였으며, 이로 인해 최적설계에 대한 연구 진행도 미진한 상태였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 대유량을 소화할 수 있도록 용량이 재설계된 유압 드리프터에 대해 다목적함수 최적화를 수행하고, 이를 통해 타격출력 향상과 공급압력 및 서지압력을 감소시키는 것을 목표로 한다. 이러한 연구의 진행방법을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 먼저 타격출력과 공급압력 및 서지압력 개선에 대한 목표를 설정하고 이에 대한 다목적함수 최적화를 수행한다. 이후 최적화된 설계치로 제작된 시제품의 시험결과와 해석모델의 해석결과 비교를 통해 최적화된 해석모델의 신뢰성을 확보한다. 본 연구에서는 유압시스템 해석 소프트웨어인 SimulationX와 다목적함수 최적화 프로그램인 EasyDesign이 사용되었으며, 위와 같은 연구를 통하여 한국형 유압드릴에 적합한 고출력 드리프터 개발 목적에 부합하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
