The space frame structure is one of the large span structural system consisting of longitudinal and latitudinal members. The members are connected in three dimension. A space frame structure has high stiffness with a structure resisting external forces in steric conformation. According to many structural conditions, structural stability problems in the space frame are determined and considered very important. This study seeks to understand the space frame collapse mechanism using the 2-free nodes truss model in order to examine static structural instability characteristics of the latticed dome. According to geometrical shape, the star dome, parallel lamella dome and three way grid dome were selected as models. The models were examined for characteristics of instability under STEP Excitations behavior according to rise-span ratio(${\mu}$) and shape imperfection.

In this paper, the strength analysis has been presented for the stress and strain by using the finite element method for various shell models of the helmets. The advanced helmet that would provide head protection without causing discomfort to the user when it was worn for long periods of time should be manufactured for increasing the safety and workability of the workers. We need a safe, comfortable and light weight of the helmet shell structure. Thus, the helmets had to stand up to the most rigorous conditions encountered for the fire and gas explosion. The FEM computed results show that when the impulsive force is applied on the summit area of a helmet shell structure, the maximum stress and strain have been occurred around the position of an applied impact force, which may lead to the initial failure on the summit of the helmet shell. Thus, the summit area of the helmet shell should be supported by a bead frame and increased thickness of the bead. But the overall thickness of the helmet is to decrease for the light weight of a helmet.

Thin-walled structures are efficiently utilized an automobiles, aircraft, satellite and ship as well as needed light weight simultaneously. This paper presents new shape of automobile hood reinforcement that rotating parts as engine, transmission are protected by thin-walled structures. The automobile hood is concerned about the resonance occurs due to the frequency of the rotating parts. The hood must be designed by supporting the stiffness of design loads and considering the natural frequencies. Hence, it is sustained the stiffness and considered the vibration by resonance. It is deep related to ride. Therefore, the topology, shape and size optimization methods are used to design the automobile hood. Topology technique is applied to determine the layout of a structural component optimum size with maximized natural frequency by volume reduction. In this research, The optimal structure layout of an inner reinforcement of an automobile hood for the natural frequency of a designated mode is obtained by using topology optimization method. The optimum size and the optimum shape are determined by PLBA(Pshenichny-Lim-Belegundu-Arora) algorithm.

다양한 가전기기의 보급과 전파통신의 수요증대에 따라 전자파의 차폐성능은 기기들의 품질 평가의 중요한 요인으로 작용하고 있다. 더구나 휴대용 전자장비의 경량/소형화되는 추세에 따라 인체의 착용에 따른 전자파의 유해성에 대한 논란이 커지고 있다. 지금까지 전자파 문제를 해결하기 위해 차폐성이 있는 재료로써 case를 만들거나, box 구조물에 전자파 발생기기를 넣고, 이를 차폐재로 코팅하여 사용하고 있다. (중략)

The purpose of this study is to propose the modular design of hybrid lightweight carbody structures made of sandwich composites and aluminum extrusion. The sandwich composites were used for secondary structures to minimize the weight of carbody, and the aluminum extrusions were applied to primary structures to improve the stiffness of carbody and manufacturability. Key requirements were defined for the modular design of hybrid carbody, and the applied parts of sandwich composites were determined through the topology optimization analysis. Consequently, feasibility of enhancing mass saving and maintainability in modular hybrid carbody design were presented, comparing with the carbody structures made of aluminum extrusion or sandwich composites only.

본 고에서는 균질화법의 정식화를 이용하여 복합재료의 거시적 균질화된 재료상수를 구하고, 이 재료상수를 이용하여 거시구조물의 변형과 응력을 구하고, 이로부터 다시 미시구조의 응력분포와 변형도를 구하는 방법을 기술하였다. 주기성을 가정한 균질화법은 복합재료 구조물의 물성평가와 거동예측에 대한 매우 적절한 수치해석 방법이다. 균질화법은 이러한 선형변형의 문제뿐만 아니라, 내압을 존재하는 빈공간 소재의 물성, 기지재료와 강화재료 계면의 미끄러짐 등으로 인한 미세 파손현상 등의 예측이 가능하다. 그외에도 탄소성 대변형 거동 이론과 균질화법을 함께 적용하여, squeeze casting에서 발생하기 쉬운 계면분리나 파단 등의 미소결함과 같은 2차 성형성의 예측도 가능하다.

Machine tools of high-speed and high-precision are required for various fields of industry such as semiconductor, automobile, mold fabrication and so on. Light-weight machine tool structure is essential for reduction of production time through rapid transportation. Also, high damping capacity of the structure is required to obtain precise products without vibration during manufacturing. Composite materials have high potential for machine tool structures due to its high specific stiffness and good damping characteristics. In this study, the design and the manufacture of a hybrid machine tool structure using composite materials was attempted and the damping capacity was investigated experimentally.

In this paper, a multi-step optimization using a G.A. (Genetic Algorithm) with variable penalty function is introduced to the structural design optimization of a 5-head route machine. Our design procedure consist of two design optimization stage. The first stage of the design optimization is static design optimization. The following stage is dynamic design optimization stage. In the static optimization stage, the static compliance and weight of the structure are minimized simultaneously under some dimensional constraints and deflection limits. On the other hand, the dynamic compliance and the weight of the machine structure are minimized simultaneously in the dynamic design optimization stage. As the results, dynamic compliance of the 5-head router machine was decreased by about 37％ and the weight of the structure was decreased by 4.48％ respectively compared with the simplified structure model.

본 학술기사의 목적은 구조설계를 위한 강력하고도 유용한 도구로서의 최적화기법을 소개하는 것이고 현재의 기술현황을 보여주는 것이다. 최적화의 발전은 유한요소법과 컴퓨터기법 그리고 최적화알고리즘 및 소프트웨어의 동시적인 발전으로부터 이루어진다. 이렇게 됨으로써 사용자가 꼭 최적화 이론가가 될 필요성은 없어질 것이고 모든 공학자는 설계의 질과 생산성을 증진시키기 위해 최적화를 훌륭한 설계기술로서 이용할 수가 있게 될 것이다. 최적화를 위한 두가지 접근방안이 제안되었다. 하나는 최적화 과정중 직접적으로 사용되는 민감도 정보를 제공하기 위해 유한요소해석 프로그램을 수정하는 것이고, 다른 하나는 설계변수와 구조응답들로 구성된 목적함수, 제약조건으로된 최적화문제에 최적화기법을 연결하는 것이다. 가장 좋은 방법은 이 두 접근방법의 조합된 방법인 것 같지만 서로 모순된 것 같기 때문에 분명하지가 않다. 따라서 이 부분은 앞으로 주목을 받을 충분한 가치가 있는 내용이 될 것이다. 원료 부족에 대한 인식의 증대와 부존에너지자원의 빠른 고갈은 경량이면서 효율적이고 경제적인 구조물에 대한 욕구를 증폭시켰다. 따라서 오늘날의 유용하고, 거대한 계산능력을 고려한다면, 최적화기법을 사용하고자 하는 동기는 충분한 것이고 숙련된 공학설계자들에 의해 응용됨으로써 최적화는 경쟁적인 우위를 제공하는 강력한 도구가 될 수 있을 것이다.
