In this paper, the optimal design of composite rotor blade cross-section is performed using a genetic algorithm. Skin thickness, torsion box thickness and skin lay-up angle are adopted as discrete design variables. The position and width of a torsion box are considered as continuous variables. An object function of optimal design is to minimize the mass of a rotor blade, and constraints are failure index, center mass, natural frequency and blade minimum mass per unit length. Finally, design variables such as the thickness and lay-up angles of a skin, and the thickness, position and width of a torsion box are determined by using an in-house program developed for the optimal design of rotor blade cross-section.

It is very important to arrange landmarks when a mobile robot needs to measure its own location. So, it has been discussed often how to arrange landmarks in the optimal way until now. We, there, chose the RFID (Radio frequency Identification) tags as landmarks which can be observed by a mobile robot, and demonstrated the possibility of the optimal arrangement of them. For this work first, we defined the optimization problem and its parameters for the arrangement of tags. Second, we proposed the algorithm which can be applied to the optimization problem. Finally we could obtain closely optimal and practical arrangement with the minimum number of landmarks which satisfied the necessary condition by experimentation.

This paper intended to propose the optimal outrigger position in tall building. For this purpose, a schematic structure design of 70 stories building was accomplished by using MIDAS-Gen. In this analysis research, the key variables were the stiffness of outrigger, the stiffness of frame, the stiffness of shear wall, the stiffness of exterior column connected in outrigger and the outrigger location in height. With the intention of looking for the optimum location of outrigger system in high-rise building, we investigated the lateral displacement in top floor. The study proposed the new method to predict the optimal location of outrigger system considering the frame stiffness. And it is verified that the paper results can be helpful in providing the important engineering materials for finding out the optimum outrigger position in tall building.

In recent years, the use of composite structures has become commonplace in various fields such as aerospace, architecture, and civil engineering. In this study, A method is proposed to find optimal position of bolt hole for fastening of composite structure. In the case of composites, stress distribution is very complicated, and design optimization based on this phenomenon increases difficulty. In selecting the optimum position of the bolt hole, the response surface method(rsm), which is a method of optimization, was applied. A response surface was created based on design points by multiple finite element analyzes. The position of the bolt hole that minimizes the stress when bolting on the response surface was found. The distribution of the stress at the position of the optimal hole was much lower than that of the initial design. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to increase the design safety factor of the structure by appropriately selecting the position of the bolt hole according to various load types when designing the structure and civil structure.

The free vibration analyses of the isotropic and CFRP laminated composite rectangular plates with point supports at the fix edge is performed by FEM. We showed optimal position and mode shape of point supports that maximized fundamental natural frequency of the isotropic and CFRP laminated composite rectangular plates by each aspect ratio and the number of point supports.

In this paper, an implementation approach of Fuzzy Position Controller for DC servo motor which requires the faster and more accurate dynamics is presented. Fuzzy position controller implemented with 80286 microprocessor and DT 2801 board consists of an adjustment routine of optimal scale factors and a Fuzzy inference routine of optimal control signals. Comparison to conventional PD controllers, the control performances of proposed Fuzzy controller such as reaching time, overshoot, and disturbance adaptability are substantially improved.

It is discssed how to detrmine the home location of vhicles in an AGVS with a loop guidepath in a way of maximizing the request-call response probabilities for all demand. Optimal home position is selected by solving the simultaneous equations easily . Statuc positioning strategy is analyzed in which a single home position is allocated to which every vehicle is outed whenever it becomes idle. The cases of unidirectional guidepath is considered only. We provide a numerical example to illustrate the search algorithm developed for the case and compare the searched optimal solutions with the others.

The study purposed to investigate the optimal location of core and offset outrigger system considering floor diaphragm. To accomplish this aim, a structure design of 70 stories building was performed by using MIDAS-Gen. And the leading factors of the analysis research were the slab stiffness, the stiffness of shear wall and the outrigger position in plan. Based on the analysis results, we analyzed and studied the influences of the shear wall stiffness and the slab stiffness on optimal location of core and offset outrigger considering floor diaphragm. The results of the analysis study indicated whether the slab stiffness, the stiffness of shear wall and the outrigger position in plan had an any impact on optimal location in outrigger system of tall building. Also the paper results can give help in getting the structural engineering materials for looking for the optimal position of outrigger system in the high-rise building.

The Position Sensitive Detector(PSD) is an useful which can be used to measurement the position of an incidence light in detail and in real-time. In this paper, light sources, to be predefinded positions, are used as landmarks and the 2-D PSD signals are used to compensate the position of a running mobile robot. To induce the position compensation algorithm, first, we inspect the error factor, make the error model, and evaluate the error covariance matrix between the real position and estimated position in dead reckoning system. Next we obtain an optimal position compensation algorithm to update the estimated position using extended Kalman filler by the relation of the external light position and it's PSD signal. Through the simulation of navigating a robot the effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed.

In this paper, methods for computing the time-optimal motion of a robotic manipulator are presented that considers the nonlinear manipulator dynamics, actuator constraints, joint limits, and obstacles. The optimization problem can be reduced to a search for the time-optimal path in the n-dimensional position space. These paths are further optimized with a local path optimization to yield a global optimal solution. Time-optimal motion of a robot with an articulated arm is presented as an example.
