In this paper, we suggest reliability as a metric to evaluate the robustness of a design for the optimal design of electromagnetic devices, with respect to constraints under the uncertainties in design variables. For fast numerical efficiency, we applied the sensitivity-assisted Monte Carlo simulation (S-MCS) method to perform reliability calculation. Furthermore, we incorporated the S-MCS with single-objective and multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithms to achieve reliability-based optimal designs, undertaking probabilistic constraint and multi-objective optimization approaches, respectively. We validated the performance of the developed optimization algorithms through application to the optimal design of a superconducting magnetic energy storage system.

Optimal design of a roller rail which replaces the ball rail for three-door refrigerators is presented using the finite element analysis and the Taguchi method. Stress and deformation of the roller rail for an initial design are analyzed and evaluated. Optimal design parameters are determined using the Taguchi method. The maximum stress of the optimal design is favorably reduced comparing to the initial design. It is verified through an additional analysis that the drawer on the roller rail will not be derailed even if one opens the drawer with a transverse force.

The present paper is concerned with the optimal control and/or design of symmetric and antisymmetric composite laminate with two piezoelectric layers bonded to the opposite surfaces of the laminate, and placed symmetrically with respect to the middle plane. For the optimal control problem, Liapunov-Bellman theory is used to minimize the dynamic response of the laminate. The dynamic response of the laminate comprises a weight sum of the control objective (the total vibrational energy) and a penalty functional including the control force. Simultaneously with the active control, thicknesses and the orientation angles of layers are taken as design variables to achieve optimum design. The formulation is based on various plate theories for various boundary conditions. Explicit solutions for the control function and controlled deflections are obtained in forms of double series. Numerical results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control and design mechanism, and to investigate the effects of various laminate parameters on the control and design process.

In this paper, an integrated S/W system from CAD to optimal design has been suggested and an application to a precision machine tool structure shown. The integrated system is so designed to reduce manual interfacing effort. An object-oriented programming language is used for combining 3-D CAD program, FEM and optimal design tools. In this system parametric modelling technique is applied and users can get the optimum design iteratively without much user intervention. The CAD model is automatically updated when the design parameters are transferred back to the CAD program. Not only design time can be dramatically reduced but unnecessary operation errors avoided by the integration.

내접형 기어펌프의 경우 내구성과 소형화의 장점을 가지고 있으나, 유량증대 및 소음저감의 성능개선이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 외부로브 형상이 다양한 곡선 조합(타원 1-인볼루트-타원 2)인 경우에 대하여 기구학적 치형 형상 관계식을 유도하고, 창성된 치형에 대해 소음에 관계된 성능인자(압력각, 유량맥동과 미끄럼률)를 예측하여 소음정도를 수치적으로 비교하였다. 또한 이론 해석을 통해 구한 치형형상과 성능인자 예측 알고리즘을 통하여 설계변수와 성능인자간의 영향도를 분석하였고, 분석 결과를 바탕으로 일정한 유량성능을 유지하면서 소음이 저감된 치형의 최적설계를 수행하였다. 해석결과를 바탕으로 제시된 치형의 최적설계에 대한 시제품 제작 및 소음 시험을 통해 설계의 타당성을 검증하였다.

In this paper, an approach to deal with model uncertainty using norm-optimal iterative learning control (ILC) is mentioned. Model uncertainty generally degrades the convergence and performance of conventional learning algorithms. To deal with model uncertainty, a worst-case norm-optimal ILC is introduced. The problem is then reformulated as a convex minimization problem, which can be solved efficiently to generate the control signal. The paper also investigates the relationship between the proposed approach and conventional norm-optimal ILC; where it is found that the suggested design method is equivalent to conventional norm-optimal ILC with trial-varying parameters. Finally, simulation results of the presented technique are given.

본 연구에서는 KT-1 계열 항공기 전륜착륙장치의 동적거동을 분석하고 충격흡수효율을 향상시키기 위한 완충기의 최적설계가 수행되었다. 전륜착륙장치는 ADAMS를 이용하여 2자유도계로 모델링하였으며 운영/환경 조건을 고려한 해석결과는 낙하실험결과와 잘 일치하였다. 또한 최적설계변수를 선정하기 위해 오일밀도, 오리피스 단면적과 같은 완충기 파라미터를 변화시켜 동적거동 및 충격흡수효율에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 해석 결과 완충기 파라미터가 다른 파라미터들보다 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 유용방향탐색법을 사용하여 최적설계를 진행하였고, 최대효율을 나타낼 때 설계변수의 값을 산출하였다. 이러한 방법으로 전륜착륙장치의 최적설계를 통해 충격흡수효율과 동적거동능력을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

This paper suggest an optimal identification method to complex and nonlinear system modeling that is based on Fuzzy-Neural Network(FNN). The FNN modeling implements parameter identification using HCM algorithm and optimal identification algorithm structure combined with two types of optimization theories for nonlinear systems, we use a HCM Clustering Algorithm to find initial parameters of membership function. The parameters such as parameters of membership functions, learning rates and momentum coefficients are adjusted using optimal identification algorithm. The proposed optimal identification algorithm is carried out using both a genetic algorithm and the improved complex method. Also, an aggregate objective function(performance index) with weighted value is proposed to achieve a sound balance between approximation and generalization abilities of the model. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, we use the time series data for gas furnace, the data of sewage treatment process and traffic route choice process.

The study on the performance of the nonlinear friction tuned mass dampers (FTMD) for the mitigation of the seismic responses of the structures is a topic that still inspires the efforts of researchers. The present paper aims to carry out a numerical study on the optimum tuning of TMD and FTMD parameters using a multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm including soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects for seismic applications. Considering a 3-story structure, the performances of the optimized TMD and FTMD are compared with the uncontrolled structure for three types of soils and the fixed base state. The simulation results indicate that, unlike TMDs, optimum tuning of FTMD parameters for a large preselected mass ratio may not provide a best and optimum design. For low mass ratios, optimal selection of friction coefficient has an important key to enhance the performance of FTMDs. Consequently, a free parameter search of all FTMD parameters provides a better performance in comparison with considering a preselected mass ratio for FTMD in the optimum design stage of the FTMD. Furthermore, the SSI significant effects on the optimum design of the TMD and FTMD. The simulation results also show that the FTMD provides a better performance in reducing the maximum top floor displacement and acceleration of the building in different soil types. Moreover, the performance of the TMD and FTMD decrease with increasing soil softness, so that ignoring the SSI effects in the design process may give an incorrect and unrealistic estimation of their performance.

The main objective of this study is to develop a gripper mechanixm that can be employed for assembly and removal tasks of a nozzle-dam of steam genetator in the process of the nuclear reactor maintenances. Brief description of the open-close thpe gripper mechanism, its position analysis, and its kinematic analysis are given. The optimal design of the gripper mechanism with and without slipping on its two gipping surfaces is considered. As an optimal design index, the ratio of the actuator force of prismatic cylinder to gripping load is proposed. Then, based on this index the oiptimal design is carried out to identify values of optimal design parameters for the gripper dechanism.
