  • It is necessary to perform the research works on the general structural designs and optimum structural designs of double hull tankers and bulk carriers due to the newly built Common Structural Rules(CSR). In this study, an optimum structural design of a mid-ship part of double hull oil tanker was carried out by using the CSR. An optimum structural design program was developed by using the Pareto optimal based multi-objective function method. The hull weight and fabrication cost obtained by the single and multi-objective function methods were compared with existing ship by the consideration of CSR and material cost which is recently increasing.

  • We present the optimum design for the cross-sectional(sizing) and shape optimization of truss structures with natural frequency constraints. The optimum design method used in this paper employs continuous design variables and the Harmony Search Algorithm(HSA). HSA is a meta-heuristic search method for global optimization problems. In this paper, HSA uses the method of random number selection in an update process, along with penalty parameters, to construct the initial harmony memory in order to improve the fitness in the initial and update processes. In examples, 10-bar and 72-bar trusses are optimized for sizing, and 37-bar bridge type truss and 52-bar(like dome) for sizing and shape. Four typical truss optimization examples are employed to demonstrate the availability of HSA for finding the minimum weight optimum truss with multiple natural frequency constraints.

  • In this paper, we studied for modified bartlett method to estimate desired information signal. Constrained length of bartlett method is assigned as one, and estimate desired information signal to compensate for delay time. Modified bartlett method is an optimum direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation algorithm to apply delay time compensation to update optimum weight. The optimum weight is used linear constrained minimum variance method(LCMV). Through simulation, we are comparative analysis proposed algorithm and general Bartlett and MUSIC method. In desired signal estimation, condition simulation is an array antenna element numbers 6 or 9 and desired information signals number 3. We show the superior performance of the proposed algorithm relative to the existing method in estimation of desired information signal.

  • The demand of the bulk emulsion explosives is being increased more and more by using the mechanization loading system in a domestic tunnel sites. Thus, a rational design criteria that is suitable for rock and circumstance condition has been required. In this study, authors investigated a optimum specific charging weight and resonable charging weight based on domestic blasting construction cases, which were performed by using a mechanization bulk emulsion explosives loading system up to now. Authors also analyzed the blasting results and got the following formula $({\Upsilon}= 0.669 + (0.0154{\times}RMR),\;r=0.81)$ from the relationship between a optimum specific charging weight of bulk exp. and rock mass rating. A range of resonable charging weight with a drilling depth is calculated considering a rock conditions.

  • We have maintained the optimum water temperature for misgumus in winter season by solar thermal heating energy. The optimum temperatures for the misgumus anguillicaudatus were experimentally estimated, i.e. for the total length $4{\sim}5cm$ and body weight $1{\sim}2g$, the optimum temperature was $18{\sim}20^{\circ}C$. For the total length $5{\sim}7cm$, body weight $2{\sim}3g$ was $20{\sim}22^{\circ}C$ and for the total length $7{\sim}9cm$, body weight $4{\sim}6g$ was $22{\sim}24^{\circ}C$. The smaller misgumas($1{\sim}3g$) grows relatively slow but the bigger one($4{\sim}8g$) grows relatively fast and total average body weight increment was about $30{\sim}50g$ per month.

  • The objective of this study is the development of size discrete optimum design algorithm which is based on the GAs(genetic algorithms). The algorithm can perform size discrete optimum designs of space trusses. The developed algorithm was implemented in a computer program. For the optimum design, the objective function is the weight of space trusses and the constraints are limite state design codes(1998) and displacements. The basic search method for the optimum design is the GAs. The algorithm is known to be very efficient for the discrete optimization. This study solves the problem by introducing the GAs. The GAs consists of genetic process and evolutionary process. The genetic process selects the next design points based on the survivability of the current design points. The evolutionary process evaluates the survivability of the design points selected from the genetic process. In the genetic process of the simple GAs, there are three basic operators: reproduction, cross-over, and mutation operators. The efficiency and validity of the developed discrete optimum design algorithm was verified by applying GAs to optimum design examples.
