For performance and stability of a synchronized system, we need an efficient Clock Tree Synthesis(CTS) methodology to design clock distribution networks. In a system-on-a-chip(SOC) design environment, CTS effectively distributes clock signals from clock sources to synchronized points on layout design. In this paper, we suggest the pre-layout analysis of the clock network including gated clock, multiple clock, and test mode CTS optimization. This analysis can help to avoid design failure with potential CTS problems from logic designers and supply layout constraints so as to get an optimal clock distribution network. Our new design flow including pre-layout CTS analysis and structural violation checking also contributes to reduce design time significantly.

Node layout optimization of structural wireless systems is investigated as a means to prolong the network lifetime without, if possible, compromising information quality of the measurement data. The trade-off between these antagonistic objectives is studied within a multi-objective layout optimization framework. A Genetic Algorithm is adopted to obtain a set of Pareto-optimal solutions from which the end user can select the final layout. The information quality of the measurement data collected from a heterogeneous WSN is quantified from the placement quality indicators of strain and acceleration sensors. The network lifetime or equivalently the network energy consumption is estimated through WSN simulation that provides realistic results by capturing the dynamics of the wireless communication protocols. A layout optimization study of a monitoring system on the Great Belt Bridge is conducted to evaluate the proposed approach. The placement quality of strain gauges and accelerometers is obtained as a ratio of the Modal Clarity Index and Mode Shape Expansion values that are computed from a Finite Element model of the monitored bridge. To estimate the energy consumption of the WSN platform in a realistic scenario, we use a discrete-event simulator with stochastic communication models. Finally, we compare the optimization results with those obtained in a previous work where the network energy consumption is obtained via deterministic communication models.

Topology optimization is used for determining the best layout of structural components to achieve predetermined performance goals. In the present study, we consider that the objective function is to maximize the natural frequency of the structure for a designated mode and the constraint function is to constrain a total material usage. In this paper, using a topology optimization technique based on the homogenized material and the chessboard prevention strategy, we obtain the optimal layout and the reinforcement of an elastic structure. Several examples are presented to show the ability of the topology optimization technique used in this paper to deal with an optimal layout problem for a free vibration structure.

본 연구에서는 그라운드 구조법을 이용하여 콘크리트 구조형태의 최적화에 대한 수치 실험을 하였다. 마이크로 격자 모델은 단위 셀의 집합체로 구성되었다. 해석 과정은 각 부재의 응답계를 강성에 피드백 시켜서 유한요소해석을 반복하였다. 이 해석의 반복을 통하여, 트러스 모델은 수리적 최적화 수법이 아니라 국소적인 응력 상태를 이용하여 위상적인 구조 형태와 구조적 형상을 표현하였다. 격자 트러스 모델을 여러 예제에 적용하여 형상 배치 문제를 해석하는데 성공하였다.

The constructability of Formwork has a importantly influence on the duration and cost in a construction project. However, the existing studies on the formwork are mainly focused on a method of construction. Although a layout planning of forms, especially, is an important factors affecting the constructability and cost, it is done by engineers empirically and intuitionally after completion of structure design. Therefore this study suggest a decision support model for optimal formwork layout model based on the rearrangement of structural members by using Genetic Algorithm to improve constructability of formwork.

Based on a 405m high super-tall building, the influence of outriggers, different shapes and layouts of structural plane and elevation on structural efficiency under lateral forces is studied in this paper. A calculation formula concerning the structural efficiency is given. The study shows that structural efficiency can be improved by triangulating the plane shape, using mega columns, the peripherization of the plane layout, tapering the elevation shape and setting bracing structure in the elevation. The arrangement of outriggers between the core tube and flange frame can reduce the shear lag effect in order to improve structural efficiency. The essence of improving structural efficiency of super-tall buildings is to maximize the plane bending stiffness and to make its deformation approach to plane section assumption.

탑승교는 여객터미널청사에서 항공기 출입구 사이를 이어주는 이동통로를 탑승객에게 제공하는 공항 편의시설 중 하나다. 본 연구에서는 유한요소 해석법을 이용하여 탑승교 설계시 리프트 컬럼의 배치설계가 탑승교 구조물의 처짐 및 응력상태에 미치는 영향 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 탑승교 터널 프레임의 중첩구간에서 최대응력이 발생함을 확인하였고, 리프트 컬럼 배치설계와 그 값의 크기가 매우 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있음을 확인하였다.

기존 구조물의 노후화로 인하여 보수 및 보강에 관한 연구는 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 탄소섬유를 사용한 외부 부착공법은 경제적이고 짧은 시간에 보강 작업이 이루어질 수 있기 때문에 널리 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 탄소섬유를 사용한 전단 보강에는 일 방향 레이아웃이 많이 사용되고 있으며, 재료의 양, 섬유의 각도 그리고 간격 등에 관한 실험 연구가 많이 진행되었다. 하지만 예비 실험 결과를 통하여 이 방향 전단보강 레이아웃은 일 방향 전단보강보다 좀 더 효율적으로 부재를 구속하는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, 유사한 재료의 양을 사용하여 일 방향과 이 방향 전단 보강 작업이 이루어진 후 실험을 통하여 두 보강작업의 효과가 검증되었다. 탄소섬유 보강 작업을 할 때는 탄소섬유의 부착파괴를 방지하기 위하여 탄소섬유 앵커가 설치되었다. 탄소섬유 앵커와 탄소섬유 레이아웃의 전단보강 효과는 실험 경간에 발생한 주인장 변형률의 분포를 통하여 검증되었다.

Structural deflection can be identified from measured strains from long gague sensors, but the sensor layout scheme greatly influences on the accuracy of identified resutls. To determine the optimal sensor layout scheme for accurate deflection identification of the tied arch bridge, the method of optimal layout of long-gauge fiber optic sensors is studied, in which the characteristic curve is first developed by using the bending macro-strain curve under multiple target load conditions, then optimal sensor layout scheme with different number of sensors are determined. A tied arch bridge is studied as an example to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method for static and dynamic deflection identification.

With increasing competition, the engineering industry is in need of optimization of designs that would lead to minimum cost or weight. Recent developments in Genetic Algorithms (GAs) makes it possible to model and obtain optimal solutions in structural design that can be put to use in industry. The main objective of this paper is to illustrate typical applications of GAs to practical design of structural systems such as steel trusses, towers, bridges, reinforced concrete frames, bridge decks, shells and layout planning of buildings. Hence, instead of details of GA process, which can be found in the reported literature, attention is focussed on the description of the various applications and the practical aspects that are considered in Genetic Modeling. The paper highlights scope and future directions for wider applications of GA based methodologies for optimal design in practice.
