In this paper, a shape optimization technique is applied to design of an air-conditioner mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is a structural component of an engine, on which bolts attach an air-conditioner compressor. The air-conditioner mounting bracket has a large portion of weight among the engine components. To reduce weight of the bracket, the shape is optimized using a finite element software. The compressor assembly, composed of a compressor and a bracket is modeled using finite elements. An objective function for the shape optimization of the bracket is the weight of the bracket. Two design constraints on the bracket are the first resonant frequency of the compressor assembly and the fatigue life of the bracket. The design variables are the shape of the bracket including thickness profiles of the front and back surfaces of the bracket, radius of outer bolt-holes, and side edge profiles. The coordinates of the FE nodes control the shape parameters. Optimal shapes of the bracket are obtained by using SOL200 of MSC/NASTRAN.

The efficient implementation of various physical actions of agents to respond to dynamically changing situations is essential for the simulation of realistic agents and activities in a cyber world. To achieve a maximum diversity of actions and immediate responsiveness to abrupt changes in situations, we have developed an animation technique in which complex actions are recursively constructed by reusing a set of primitive motions, and agents are designed to react in real-time to abrupt ambient changes by computationally satisfying kinematic constraints on body parts with respect to their goals. Our reusing scheme is extended to visualize the procedure of realistic intricate situations involving many concurring events. Our approach based on motion reuse and recursive assembly has clear advantages in motion variability and action diversity with respect to authoring scalability and motion responsiveness compared to conventional monolithic (static) animation techniques. This diversity also serves to accommodate the characteristic unpredictability of events concurring in a situation due to inherent non-determinism of associated conditions. To demonstrate the viability of our approach, we implement several composite and parallel actions in a dynamically changing example situation involving events that were originally independent until coincidentally inter-coupled therein.

Recently many researchers contributed to the understanding of Quality Control System, but the use of economics in the design of quality assurance system is limited in treatment of the relationship between the average incoming quality level (or average process quality level) of the incoming lot and the average outgoing quality level of this lot. In this study, a traditional concept of sampling inspection plan for the quality assurance system is extended to a consideration of economic aspects in total production system by representing and analyzing the effects between proceeding and succeeding production process including inspection process. This approach recognizes that the decision at each manufacturing process (or assembly process), is to be determined not only by the cost and the average outgoing quality level of that process, but also by the input parameters of the cost and the incoming quality to the succeeding process. By analyzing the effects of the average incoming and outgoing quality, manufacturing or assembly process quality level and sampling inspection plan on the production system, mathematical models and solution technique to minimize the total production cost for a general product manufacturing system with specified average outgoing quality limit are suggested.

An overhead travelling crane structure of two doubly symmetric welded box beams is designed for minimum cost. The rails are placed over the inner webs of box beams. The following design constraints are considered: local buckling of web and flange plates, fatigue of the butt K weld under rail and fatigue of fillet welds joining the transverse diaphragms to the box beams, fatigue of CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced plastic) laminate, deflection constraint. For the formulation of constraints the relatively new standard for cranes EN 13001-3-1 (2010) is used. To fulfill the deflection constraint CFRP strengthening should be used. The application of CFRP materials in strengthening of steel and concrete structures are widely used in civil engineering applications due to their unique advantages. In our study, we wanted to show how the mechanical properties of traditional materials can be improved by the application of composite materials and how advanced materials and new production technologies can be applied. In the optimization the following cost parts are considered: material, assembly and welding of the steel structure, material and fabrication cost of CFRP strengthening. The optimization is performed by systematic search using a MathCAD program.

지진 및 냉각재상시사고시 핵연료집합체의 건전성 확인은 원자로심모델의 핵연료집합체 집중질량모델을 이용하여 지지격자에 발생한 충격 해석치와 동적좌굴시험치와의 비교를 통해 사고시의 핵연료집합체 건전성을 평가하여 왔다. 그러나 이 방법은 사고시 핵연료집합체 부품별 설계 요구사항 만족여부를 평가하는데 미흡하여 본 연구에서는 지진 및 냉각재상실사고시 핵연료집합체 구조적건전성 평가를 위한 수평방향 핵연료집합체 응력해석모델을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 첫번째 단계로써 원자로심모델의 해석 결과인 각 절점에서의 변위와 회전각으로부터 응력을 계산하고 가장 큰 응력을 갖는 핵연료를 찾아내는 MAIN이라는 전산프로그램을 개발하였다. 그리고 다음단계로써 이 .프로그램에서 구한 핵연료집합체 변위와 회전각을 이용하여 핵연료집합체의 주요부품에 가해지는 응력을 계산하기 위한 핵연료집합체 응력해석모델을 개발하였다. 이 모델은 집합체주요부품인 안내관과 연료봉을 3차원보요소로, 지지격자스프링을 선형 및 회전스프링으로 각각 모델링 하였으며, MAIN 프로그램의 출력인 집합체의 변위를 구속조건으로 사용하였다. 또한, 개발된 프로그램과 응력해석모델을 이용하여 하나의 적용 예로써 임의의 지진하중하에서 16$\times$16형 핵연료집합체에 대한 응력해석을 수행하였다. 이 모델을 개발하므로써 지진 및 냉각재상실사고시 핵연료집합체 설계용구사항 만족여부를 평가할 수 있는 기틀을 마련하였다.

Many algorithms to enhance a speed performance of a robot have been studied, but it's rare to consider disign aspect of a robot arm for time optimal problem. In this paper, section demensions of a robot arm and a velocity profile of an end-effector were optimally designed to minimize the cycle time. Capacity of actuators, deflections of end-effector, and a fundamental natural frequency of the robot arm were constrained in optimal design. For a given path with a trapezoidal velocity profile, torques of each joint were calculated using the inverse kinematics and dynamics. For the SCARA type robot which is mainly used for assembly tasks, the time optimal design of each robot arm id presented with the above constraints.

This paper explores an optimal design methodology for an auto lever using a genetic algorithm. Components of the auto lever have been designed sequentially in the industry, but this study presents a novel design method to determine the design parameters of components simultaneously. The genetic algorithm approach is described to decide a set of design parameters for auto lever. The authors have attempted to model the design problem with the objective of minimizing the angle variation of detent spring subject to constraints such as modulus of elasticity of steel, geometry of shift pipe, and stiffness of spring. This method gives the promising design alternative.

This paper discribes a study on the switching character of MOS-GTO and the design of gate drive circuit. Chopping power supply converter, synchronious and asyncronious motor speed adjustment, inverter, etc., needs low drive energy "high frequency" switches. To fulfill these need, switches must have rapid switching time and insulated gate control. MOS-GTO structure is well suited to these constraints. The power switch is serial installation of a GTO thyrister and a MOS Transistor. The gate of the GTO is linked to positive pole of the cascode structure via a MOS high voltage transistor and ground via a transient absorber diode. This high performance MOS-GTO assembly considerably increases the strength which facilitate the drive of GTO thyristers.

A machine-vision guided inspection system with go-no gauges for inspecting eggcrate assemblies in steam generators is considered. To locate the gauge at the right place, periodic corrective actions for its position and traveling direction are required. We present a machine vision algorithm for determining inserting position and traveling direction of the go-no gauge. The overall procedure of the algorithm is composed of camera calibration, eggcrate image preprocessing, grid-height adjustment, intersection point estimation between two intersecting grids, and adjustment of position and traveling direction of the gauge. The intersection point estimation is performed by using linear regression with a constraint. A test with a real eggcrate specimen shows the feasibility of the algorithm.
