기계나 토목 구조물의 형상은 일반적으로 전통적인 방법들을 이용하여 얻었다. 예를 들면 전력송전탑이나 해상풍력 하부구조물 이외의 다른 구조물들도 조직적으로 만든다. 한편 컴퓨터 그래픽의 급속한 성장으로 인해, 진화된 구조해석 및 최적설계기법들을 이용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 해상 풍력 터빈을 위한 자켓 구조물의 구조형상을 위상최적화 기법을 통하여 연구하였다. 이번 연구는 실제작동하중상태로 시뮬레이션을 위하여 다 하중으로 종속시켰으며, 최적화 목적 함수는 주어진 경계조건아래 컴플라이언스로 정의하였다. 최적화는 고유진동수와 체적을 구속함수로 사용하였으며, 1 단계 모델의 결과는 2 단계 구조를 위한 외형을 빠르게 볼 수 있도록 한다. 그 결과로 사각뿔대의 3D 모델은 위상최적화를 통하여 개발하였다.

Tornado-induced damages to high-rise buildings and low-rise buildings are quite different in nature. Tornado losses to high-rise buildings are generally associated with building envelope failures while tornado-induced damages to low-rise buildings are usually associated with structural or large component failures such as complete collapses, or roofs being torn off. While studies of tornado-induced structural damages tend to focus mainly on low-rise residential buildings, transmission towers, or nuclear power plants, the current rapid expansion of city centers and development of large-scale building complexes increases the risk of tornadoes impacting tall buildings. It is, therefore, important to determine how tornado-induced load affects tall buildings compared with those based on synoptic boundary layer winds. The present study applies an experimentally simulated tornado wind field to the Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Research Council (CAARC) building and estimates and compares its pressure coefficient effects against the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) flow field. Simulations are performed at the Wind Engineering, Energy and Environment (WindEEE) Dome which is capable of generating both ABL and tornadic winds. A model of the CAARC building at a scale of 1:200 for both ABL and tornado flows was built and equipped with pressure taps. Mean and peak surface pressures for TLV flow are reported and compared with the ABL induced wind for different time-averaging. By following a compatible definition of the pressure coefficients for TLV and ABL fields, the resulting TLV pressure field presents a similar trend to the ABL case. Also, the results show that, for the high-rise building model, the mean and 3-sec peak pressures are larger for the ABL case compared to the TLV case. These results provide a way forward for the code implementation of tornado-induced pressures on high-rise buildings.
