A FEM-based efficient method is developed for the shape optimization of 2-D structures. The combined SLP and Simplex method are coupled with finite element analysis. Selected set of master nodes on the design boundaries are employed as design variables and assigned to move towards their normal directions. The other nodes along the design boundaries are grouped into the master node. By interpolating the repositioned master nodes, the B-spline curves are formed so that the rest mid-nodes efficiently settle down on the B-spline curves. Mesh smoothing scheme is also applied for the nodes on the design boundary to maintain most finite elements in good quality. Finally, a numerical implementation of optimum design of an automobile torque converter piston subjected to pressure and centrifugal loads is presented. The results shows additional weight up to 13% may be saved after the shape optimization.

구조최적화는 최근 CAD와 컴퓨터 기술이 발전하면서 구조설계부분에 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 30층의 강구조물을 대상으로 유한요소해석 및 어댑티브 시뮬레이티드 어닐링 알고리즘을 이용하여 최적중량설계를 구현하였다. 최적설계는 모든 설계상수와 설계하중들이 주어졌을 때, 목적함수가 최소로 됨과 동시에 모든 설계제약조건을 만족시키는 설계변수를 결정하는 설계법이라고 정의할 수 있다. 최적설계 구현을 통해 건설 측면에 있어 성능 향상과 신뢰도 향상 효과를 가져 올 수 있을 것이다.

This paper presents a linear computational homogenization framework to evaluate the effective (or generalized) electromechanical coupling coefficient (EMCC) of adaptive structures with piezoelectric structural fiber (PSF) composite elements. The PSF consists of a silicon carbide (SiC) or carbon core fiber as reinforcement to a fragile piezo-ceramic shell. For the micro-scale analysis, a micromechanics model based on the variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization (VAMUCH) is used to evaluate the overall electromechanical properties of the PSF composites. At the macro-scale, a finite element (FE) analysis with the commercial FE code ABAQUS is performed to evaluate the effective EMCC for structures with the PSF composite patches. The EMCC is postprocessed from free-vibrations analysis under short-circuit (SC) and open-circuit (OC) electrodes of the patches. This linear two-scale computational framework may be useful for the optimal design of active structure multi-functional composites which can be used for multi-functional applications such as structural health monitoring, power harvest, vibration sensing and control, damping, and shape control through anisotropic actuation.

Two aspects of the design of a small-scale smart wing are addressed in this work, related to the ability of the wing to modify its cross section assuming the shape of two different airfoils and to the possibility of deflecting the profiles near the trailing edge in order to obtain hingeless control surfaces. The actuation is provided by one-way shape memory alloy wires eventually coupled to springs, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) being among the most promising materials for this kind of applications. The points to be actuated along the profiles and the displacements to be imposed are selecetd so that they satisfactorily approximate the change from an airfoil to the other and to result in an adequate deflection of the control surface; the actuators and their performances are designed so that an adequate wing stiffness is guaranteed, in order to prevent excessive deformations and undesired airfoil shape variations due to aerodynamic loads. The effect of the pressure distributions, calculated by way of the XFOIL software, and of the actuators loads, is estimated by FE analyses of the loaded wing. Two prototypes are then realised incorporating the variable airfoil and the hingeless aileron features respectively, and the verification of their shapes in both the actuated and non-actuated states, supported by image analysis techniques, confirms that interesting results are achievable with the proposed lay out and design considerations.

On large-scale data analysis platforms deployed on cloud infrastructures over the Internet, the instability of the data transfer time and the dynamics of the processing rate require a more sophisticated data distribution scheme which maximizes parallel efficiency by achieving the balanced load among participated computing elements and by eliminating the idle time of each computing element. In particular, under the constraints that have the real-time and limited data buffer (in-memory storage) are given, it needs more controllable mechanism to prevent both the overflow and the underflow of the finite buffer. In this paper, we propose an auto regulated data provisioning model based on receiver-driven data pull model. On this model, we provide a synchronized data replenishment mechanism that implicitly avoids the data buffer overflow as well as explicitly regulates the data buffer underflow by adequately adjusting the buffer resilience. To estimate the optimal size of buffer resilience, we exploits an adaptive buffer resilience control scheme that minimizes both data buffer space and idle time of the processing elements based on directly measured sample path analysis. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides allowable approximation compared to the numerical results. Also, it is suitably efficient to apply for such a dynamic environment that cannot postulate the stochastic characteristic for the data transfer time, the data processing rate, or even an environment where the fluctuation of the both is presented.

This paper present the results of finite element analysis to examine the sloshing characteristics of the cylindrical and rectangular tank partially fluid-filled. The sloshing characteristic for the existence and the non-existence of the baffle are investigated and the results compared with the references. For the rectangular tank, the vertical displacements are used to study of the sloshing characteristics. But for the cylindrical tank, the damping factors obtained from the vertical displacements of free surface with the depth of ring baffle are usedto study of the sloshing characteristics. The adaptive meshing method in the ABAQUS 5.8/Explicit is used for the sloshing analysis.

Three dimensional flow fields around passenger car body was computed by PAM-FLOW, well-known and validated computer program for thermal and fluid analysis. Regarding the computational method, a Navier-Stokes solver based on finite element method with various turbulent models and adaptive grid technique (H-refinement)was adopted. The results were physically reasonable and compared with experimental data, giving good agreement. It was found that three dimensional flow simulation with H-refinement technique had potential for prediction of low fie이 around vehicle and the ability to predict vortex in the wake, which is vital for CFD to be used for automobile aerodynamic calculation.

계층적 p-세분화를 위해 Zienkiewicz-Zhu 오차평가법이 약간 수정되었으며, 이 방법의 유효성을 보이기 위해 휨을 받는 개구부를 갖는 Reinssner-Mindlin $C^{\circ}$-평판에 적용하였다. 유한요소해석상의 적응적 체눈을 결정하는 단계는 초수렴 팻취 복구기법에 기초를 둔 사후오차평가자와 연계된 p-세분화에 의해 제안되었다. 요소내의 변위장을 정의하기 위해 적분형 르장드르 고차 형상함수가 사용되는 반면 복구응력을 보간하기 위해 파스칼의 삼각수에 기초를 둔 같은 차수의 고차다항식이 사용되는 이유로 수정 Z/Z 오차평가는 종래의 방법과 다소 차이를 보여준다. 가우스 적분점에서의 응력을 최적화하기 위해 필요한 다항식으로 표현되는 응력함수를 얻기 위해 최소제곱법이 사용되었다. 고정된 요소망에 거의 최적의 형상함수 차수의 분배를 찾기 위한 전략이 논의되었는데, 허용되는 정확도를 얻을 수 있을 때까지 각 요소마다 형상함수의 차수를 불균등하게 증가시키는 방법으로, 소위 최적의 선택적 p-분배를 자동으로 결정하도록 되어있다. 위의 사항들을 L-형 평판 해석에 적용한 결과, 적응적 p-체눈설계 단계가 진행됨에 따라 자유도의 증가에 따라 오차량은 급격히 감소되는 것을 알 수 있었고, 제안된 오차 지시자에 의한 적응적 p-체눈 세분화는 최적 p-분배 진행방향에 근접하는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

The multi scale wavelet-Galerkin method implemented in an adaptive manner has an advantage of obtaining accurate solutions with a substantially reduced number of interpolation points. The method is becoming popular, but its numerical efficiency still needs improvement. The objectives of this investigation are to present a new numerical scheme to improve the performance of the multi scale adaptive wavelet-Galerkin method and to give detailed implementation procedure. Specifically, the subdomain technique suitable for multiscale methods is developed and implemented. When the standard wavelet-Galerkin method is implemented without domain subdivision, the interaction between very long scale wavelets and very short scale wavelets leads to a poorly-sparse system matrix, which considerably worsens numerical efficiency for large-sized problems. The performance of the developed strategy is checked in terms of numerical costs such as the CPU time and memory size. Since the detailed implementation procedure including preprocessing and stiffness matrix construction is given, researchers having experiences in standard finite element implementation may be able to extend the multi scale method further or utilize some features of the multiscale method in their own applications.
