In this paper, an efficient robust design utilizing an enhanced Taguchi method is proposed to reduce cogging torque of a BLDC motor in the presence of design uncertainty. To overcome defects of the conventional Taguchi method in dealing with a generalized robust design problem, a penalty function and an optimal level searching technique are newly introduced. In order to verify the proposed method, a 5 kW, rated speed of 2,300 rpm, rated torque of 20 Nm BLDC motor for driving electric vehicles is optimized. Then, the robust design is compared with conceptual and deterministic ones in terms of the cogging torque, rated torque and torque ripple.

The conventional reliability based design optimization(RBDO) methods require high computational cost compared with the deterministic design optimization(DO) methods, therefore it is hard to apply directly to large-scaled problems such as an aerodynamic shape design optimization. In this study, to overcome this computational limitation the efficient RBDO procedure with the two-point approximation(TPA) and adjoint sensitivity analysis is proposed, that the computational requirement is nearly the same as DO and the reliability accuracy is good compared with that of RBDO. Using this, the 3-D aerodynamic shape design optimization is performed very efficiently.

In this paper, a reliability-based design optimization is developed for the topology design of linear structures using a performance measure approach. Spatial domain is discretized using three dimensional Reissner-Mindlin plate elements and design variable is taken as the material property of each element. A continuum based adjoint variable method is employed for the efficient computation of sensitivity with respect to the design and random variables. The performance measure approach of RBDO is employed to evaluate the probabilistic constraints. The topology optimizationproblem is formulated to have probabilistic displacement constraints. The uncertainties such as material property and external loads are considered. Numerical examples show that the developed topology optimization method could effectively yield a reliable design, comparing with the other methods such as deterministic, safety factor, and worst case approaches.

최적 노심장전모형을 찾기 위한 확률론적 방법중 하나인 Simulated Annealing 방법은 기존 결정론적 방법의 단점인 국부 최적해에 빠질 위험성을 줄이면서도 빠른 시간 안에 최적 노심장전 모형을 찾을 수 있다. 그러나 많은 장전모형의 핵특성을 계산하기 위해서는 많은 전산시간이 소요되기 때문에 이의 해결 방법으로 신경망이론 이용한 노심해석을 통하여 시간을 극소화하고, 기존의 섭동이론 등 가속화된 방법에 비해 정확도를 높였다. 영광 3호기 평형노심에 적용한 결과 기존 설계된 장전모형에 비하에 더 보수적인 제한치를 만족하면서도 주기길이가 33EFPD 만큼 길어지는 장전모형을 1시간 이내에 찾을 수 있어 기존의 결정론적 방법이나 다른 핵특성 계산 모델을 사용한 SA법에 비해 더 적은 전산시간 동안 정확한 최적해를 탐색하는 것을 확인하였다.

Design sensitivity analysis of the second order perturbed eigenproblems for random structural system is presented. Dynamic response of random system including uncertainties for the design variable is calculated with the first order and second order perturbation method to original governing equation. In optimal design methods, there is fundamental requirement for design gradients. A method for calculating the sensitivity coefficients is developed using the direct differentiation method for the governing equation and first order and second order perturbed equation.

In this paper, the application of fuzzy decision to optimization of induction motor design is proposed. This method can reflect the designer's experience, view, and judgment, but also can be applied to multi-objective optimization design easily. The electromagnetic performance of the induction motor are calculated by means of the equivalent magnetic circuit method. The design method is The $D^2L$ method which is combined with fuzzy decision and optimization algorithm. As the optimization algorithm, the evolution strategy(ES) is applied. The proposed algorithm is applied to a multiobjective optimization of an induction motor design where the motor should have less weight and, at the same time, have higher efficiency and power factor at rated operating points.

This study describes an efficient and facile method for configuration optimum design of structures. One of the ways to achieve numerical shape representation and the selection of design variables is using the design element concept. Using this technique, the number of design variables could be drastically reduced. Isoparametric mapping was utilized to automatically generate the finite element mesh during the optimization process, and this made it possible to easily calculate the derivatives of the coordinates of generated finite element nodes w.r.t. the design variables. For the structural analysis, finite element analysis was adopted in the optimization procedure, and two different techniques(the deterministic method, a modified method of feasible direction; and the stochastic method, a genetic algorithms) were applied to obtain the minimum volumes and section areas for an efficient configuration optimization procedure. Futhermore, spline interpolation was introduced to present a realistic optimum configuration that meet the manufacturing requirements. According to the results of several numerical examples(steel structures), the two techniques suggested in this study simplified the process of configuration optimum design of structures, and yielded improved objective function values with a robust convergence rate. This study's applicability and capability have therefore been demonstrated.

In conventional structural design, deterministic optimization which satisfies codified constraints is performed to ensure safety and maximize economical efficiency. However, uncertainties are inevitable due to the stochastic nature of structural materials and applied loads. Thus, deterministic optimization without considering these uncertainties could lead to unreliable design. Recently, there has been much research in reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) taking into consideration both the reliability and optimization. RBDO involves the evaluation of probabilistic constraint that can be estimated using the RIA (Reliability Index Approach) and the PMA(Performance Measure Approach). It is generally known that PMA is more stable and efficient than RIA. Despite the significant advancement in PMA, RBDO still requires large computation time for large-scale applications. In this paper, A new reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) method is presented to achieve the more stable and efficient algorithm. The idea of the new method is to integrate a response surface method (RSM) with PMA. For the approximation of a limit state equation, the moving least squares (MLS) method is used. Through a mathematical example and ten-bar truss problem, the proposed method shows better convergence and efficiency than other approaches.
