Abstract

An optimization method is proposed for the simultaneous design of structural and control systems using the equivalent static loads. In the past researches, the control parameters of such feedback gains are obtained to improve some performance in the steady-state. However, the actuators which have position and velocity feedback gains should be designed to exhibit a good performance in the time domain. In other words, the system analysis should be conducted for the transient-state in dynamic manner. In this research, a new equivalent static loads method is presented to treat the control variables as the design variables. The equivalent static loads (ESLs) set is defined as a static load set which generates the same displacement field as that from dynamic loads at a certain time. The calculated sets of ESLs are applied as multiple loading conditions in the optimization process. Several examples are solved to validate the proposed method.

본 논문은 등가정하중을 이용하여 제어시스템을 포함한 구조물의 설계를 위한 최적화 방법을 제안한다. 지난 연구는 구조물과 제어시스템 최적설계를 독립적으로 분리하여 수행하였고, 구조물과 제어시스템을 동시에 최적화하여도 제어시스템의 제어변수는 정상상태에서만 최적화하여 성능을 향상시켰다. 하지만 제어변수는 모든 시간영역에서 최적화해야 한다. 즉, 제어시스템의 해석은 과도상태에서 수행해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 등가정하중을 이용하여 제어변수를 포함하는 제어시스템 구조물의 최적설계를 위한 방법을 제시하였다. 등가정하중은 동적하중이 구조물에 작용할 때 발생하는 임의 시간에서의 변위장과 동일한 변위장을 만들어내는 정하중을 의미한다. 이렇게 계산된 등가정하중을 이용하여 설계영역에서 선형정적응답 최적설계를 진행한다. 몇 가지 예제를 통해 새로운 등가정하중을 적용한 동적응답 최적설계방법의 유용성을 확인하였다.
