This paper describes a formulation to predict optimum post-tensioning forces and cable dimensioning for self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridges. The analysis is developed with respect to both dead and live load configurations, taking into account design constrains concerning serviceability and ultimate limit states. In particular, under dead loads, the analysis is developed with the purpose to calculate the post-tensioning cable forces to achieve minimum deflections for both girder and pylons. Moreover, under live loads, for each cable elements, the lowest required cross-section area is determined, which verifies prescriptions, under ultimate or serviceability limit states, on maximum allowable stresses and bridge deflections. The final configuration is obtained by means of an iterative procedure, which leads to a progressive definition of the stay, hanger and main cable characteristics, concerning both post-tensioning cable stresses and cross-sections. The design procedure is developed in the framework of a FE modeling, by using a refined formulation of the bridge components, taking into account of geometric nonlinearities involved in the bridge components. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can be easily utilized to predict the cable dimensioning also in the framework of long span bridge structures, in which typically more complexities are expected in view of the large number of variables involved in the design analysis.

In the discrete optimum design, occasionally, the solutions oscillate between the feasible and the infeasible resions during the series of redesigns of members with discrete sections. This phenomenon may be caused inherently by the discontinuity of variables of commercially available sections in the database. In this paper, in-depth investigation into the oscillation in the discrete optimization and its control has been conducted. When the structure is optimized through element optimization, the oscillation can be divided into two categories, local and global oscillations. An algorithm which controls these phenomena is suggested and numerical examples demonstrate the oscillation in optimum solutions and the effectiveness of the control strategy suggested here.

한국에서 건조되는 대부분의 소형 연안 어선의 경우 경험에 기초하여 건조되어지기 때문에 구조적 안전성 문제가 발생하곤 했다. 본 논문에서는 이들 어선의 구조강도를 증가시키고 생산 및 운용비를 줄이기 위하여 최적설계를 수행하였다. 어선의 무게와 구조부재의 주요치수들을 각각 목적함수와 설계변수로 선택하였다. 해석과정 중에 극소점을 피하고 CPU 시간을 줄이고자 전역 탐색법과 지역 탐색법을 결합한 하이브리드 최적화 알고리즘이 개발되었다. 또한 최적화 루프의 각 iteration 단계에서 제한조건을 결정하기 위하여 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 최적화 결과는 초기 어선 모델과 비교하였으며 최적설계의 효과가 구조강도, 재료비 관점에서 검토되었다.

For the grillage which is common types of structures in marine and land-based structural system, the elastic response and design methods are usually applied. However, plastic analysis and design methods are considered Tn those structures to maintain the structural stability at the limit states. In grillage design, the central intersection point load may be used as a worst loading condition. However, a point load may often move around on the grid system. in such case, the worst load point would not necessarily be at the central point. To investigate the variation of plastic collapse load according to the location of moving load between intersections, the plastic collapse loads are obtained for the three types of grillages with simply-supported ends. From the result of each case, it is confirmed that the worst load point is located between intersections. General formulae related with plastic collapse loads for the three groups of grillages with simply-supported boundaries are derived. Those plastic collapse formulae for the grillages are applied to the design of pontoon deck, and optimum design procedure is illustrated. Consequently, general formulae for the plastic collapse of grillages derived from this study can be easily applied to the plastic analysis and optimum design of similar grillages.

본 연구는 부재의 응력, 절점의 횡변위 등 거동적 제약과 설계변수에 가해지는 부차적 제약을 받는 평면뼈대 구조물의 설계에 적용할 수 있는 최적규준을 제안하고자 하는 것이다. 변위 및 응력제약 모두에 1차 근사법을 적용하며 이는 전응력 설계방법과 다른 점이다. 비선형인 제약조건식을 푸는데 Newton-Raphson방법을 이용하고 최소치수 제약과 관련하여 설계공간을 축소하는 등 수학적으로 엄밀한 방법으로 재설계 알고리즘을 유도하였다. 적용 예를 통하여 이 방법이 정확한 방법임이 입증되었으며 전응력 설계가 최적설계가 되지 못하는 경우도 종종 발견되었다. 이 방법은 복잡한 계산과정 만큼 그 이용가치가 있으며 단순한 응력비 알고리즘을 이용하는 대부분의 최적규준 방법에 대치되어야 할 것이다. 특히, Computer의 지속적인 발전은 이 방법의 보편적인 이용을 가능하게 할 것이다.

Deterministic optimum designs that are obtained without consideration of uncertainties could lead to unrealiable designs. Such deterministic engineering optimization tends to promote the structural system with less reliability redundancy than obtained with conventional design procedures using the factor of safety. Consequently, deterministic optimized structures will usually have higher failure probabilities than unoptimized structures. This paper proposes the reliability based design optimization technique fur apressure tank considering temperature effect. This paper presents an efficient and stable reliability based design optimization method by using the advanced first order second moment method, which evaluates a probabilistic constraint for more accuracy. In addition, the response surface method is utilized to approximate the performance functions describing the system characteristics in the reliability based design optimization procedure.

Design of the corrugated watertight bulkhead for a bulk carrier is principally determined by the permissible limit of Classification requirements. As the weight of upper and lower stool has considerable portion of the total weight of the transverse bulkhead, optimum design including the stool geometry and size will play an important role on economic shipbuilding. The purpose of this study is focused on the minimization of steel weight using the design variables, which are the shape and the size of the corrugation as well as the upper and lower stools. Discrete variables are used as design variables for the practical design. In this study, the evolution strategies (ES), which can highly improve the possibility of leaching the global minimum point, are selected as an optimization method. Usefulness of this study is verified by comparison with the proven type ship design. As objective function, total weight of the transverse bulkhead including the upper and lower stools is used.

A basic study on the lifting lug design has performed through the rational and systematic process. In order to evaluate the proper design-load distribution around lug eye investigation of contact force between lifting lug and shackle pin is performed using non-linear parametric analysis idealized by gap element models. Gap element modeling and nonlinear analysis procedures are illustrated and discussed based on MSC/NASTRAN. Some analysis and design guides are suggested through the consideration of several important effects such as stress distribution pattern, circumferential contact force distribution along the lug eye face, loading share rate between lug main plate and doubler, effect of loading direction, relation between applied force and deflection and size effect of shackle pin radius. Additionally optimum design studies are performed and general trends according to the variation of design parameters are suggested.
