The conventional photovoltaic(PV) systems are designed the installation angle for maximizing power output by considering a geographical characteristics, weather and climate conditions such as the solar radiation and atmosphere temperature. However, the PV generators must be designed to deal with the extreme situations like typhoons, earthquakes because PV systems are exposed to the ambient conditions and external shock due to condition of PV location. Especially, the wind has relatively higher influence on the design of PV systems, in this paper we proposed the method of determining the optimal nominal dimension of the facilities, which can withstand the maximum wind pressure. By using the proposed method, we determined the optimal installation angle for the aspect stability of PV facilities and amount of power output. Moreover, we analyzed the monthly amount of power for each installation angle of PV systems, and proposed the changing strategy of installation angle by determining the optimal angle to produce maximum power for each period.

Determining the robot motion using optimal technique has been studied often in recent years however the study of determining the optimal robot dimensions is very rare. In this paper, the authors attempted to find out the least driving torques at each joint as the optimization of link length refered to a 3R robot manipulator. For the given linear path with triangular velocity profile, the inverse kinematic and inverse dynamic problems are examined in order to lead into solution of problem suggested for optimal design of link lengths. Accordingly, optimal link lengths in the case of given linear path is obtained with respect to the parameter of link ratios.

This paper reviews the properties and application methods of widely used types of risk measures, identifies the rationale and business-side effects of hedging, derives the theoretical formula of optimal hedging ratio, and analyzes the various functional aspects of VaR(Value-at-risk) as a risk measure and a hedging tool. Especially this paper focuses on the characteristics of VaR compared with other risk measures in terms of their own principal determinants and identifies its stronger aspects in the dimension of hedging strategy tools. As well, this paper provides the detailed processes deriving the optimal hedge ratios based on the distributional parameters and risk factors. In addition, this paper presents the detailed and substantial processes of estimating the minimum variance hedge ratio and minimum-VaR hedge ratio using the actual data and shows that the minimum variance hedge ratio proves helpful for many cases although it is not appropriate for the non-linear portfolio including the option contracts. We demonstrate the trade-off relationship between the minimum variance hedge strategy and the minimum-VaR hedge strategy in their hedging costs and performances through calculation of the respective VaRs and variances of unhedged and hedged portfolios and the optimal hedge ratio and hedging effectiveness values for the given long position in US Dollar with the short position in Euro.

Some structural problems and temperature difference of the pyrolysis equipment were improved by using the structure analysis and the optimal design of torch. The pyrolysis equipment developed in this study is expected to the excellent pyrolysis effect. To modify user-friendly the dimension of a part, we developed the feature modeling system that all of the related parts automatically change applying to the three-dimensional modeling method.

The equations prescribed in Ω⊂R(sup)n are called loaded, if they contain some operations of the traces of desired solution on manifolds (of dimension which is strongly less than n) from closure Ω. These equations result from approximations of nonlinear equations by linear ones, in the problems of optimal control when the control when the control actions depends on a part of independent variables, in investigations of the inverse problems and so on. In present work we study the nonlocal boundary value problems for first-order loaded differential operator equations. Criterion of unique solvability is established. We illustrate the obtained results by examples.

Lever mechanisms are usually employed to enlarge output displacement in precision stages. In this study, theoretical analysis of a lever is presented including bending effect and relation between dimension parameters and an objective function. The objective function is chosen as multiplication of magnification ratio and forcedisplacement transmission. Through theoretical analysis, this study presents optimal values for the parameters and the analysis is verified by finite element method.

In general, cylinderical types of billet are use in the backward extrusion. It is difficult to obtain homogenious wall thickness by the backward extrusion using these. It is gradually increased that improving the accuracyand reducing the post machining of the final products. In manufacturing cup shaped parts by backward extrusion, it is very important to design optimal initial billet or preform. These can improve the accuracy of final products and remove the post machining processes. In this study, the influence of final parts geometry by the shape of initial billet as non machined types are discussed.

In a permanent magnet motor, cogging torque arises from the intersection of the rotor magnets with the steel teeth on the stator. This paper describes design measures which can be taken to reduce the cogging torque. In this paper for the optimal shape design of brushless DC motor, evolution strategy is investigated to find the dimension of stator of BLDC motor that minimizes the cogging torque. The corresponding field analysis is performed by two-dimensional finite element method.

The load characteristics of engine main bearing are very important in the design of crankshaft and engine block. The stiffness of crankshaft and block, or the optimal dimension of the bearing can be determined according to the load level. This paper presents the load characteristics of engine main bearing. Two components of the main bearing load are measured during engine firing and motoring. The vertical and horizontal load components are measured by using the dynamic load cell mounted in each main bearing cap bolt. The measured main bearing loads are compared with calculated results by using the statically determinate method. The theoretical results, provided in this study, agreed well with the experimental results. The presented results are very useful for achieving optimal design of engine.
