The optimal design method in cooperation with a nonlinear elastic analysis method was presented. The proposed nonlinear elastic method overcame the drawback of the conventional LRFD method this approximately accounts for the nonlinear effect caused by using the moment amplification factors of and. The genetic algorithm uses a procedure based on the Darwinian notions of the survival of the fittest, where selection, crossover, and mutation operators are used to look for high performance among the sections of the database. They satisfy constraint functions and give the lightest weight to the structure. The objective function was set to the total weight of the steel structure. The constraint functions were load-carrying capacities, serviceability, and ductility requirement. Case studies for a two-dimensional frame, a three-dimensional frame, and a three-dimensional steel arch bridge were likewise presented.

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.

The purpose of this paper is to search the optimal location of offset outrigger system in high-rise building after a structural schematic design of 80 stories building was conducted, making use of MIDAS-Gen. In this research, the key factors of analysis study were column stiffness, outrigger position in plan and outrigger location in height. For the aim of finding out the optimum position of offset outrigger system in tall building, we studied the lateral displacement in top floor which is the very essential variables in the structural design of high-rise building. The results of study showed that the column stiffness, the outrigger location in plan and outrigger location in height had an effect on the optimal position of outrigger system. Also, it is indicated that the research results can be useful in acquiring the structural design materials for seeking the optimum position of offset outrigger system in tall building.

본 논문은 개미군락최적화 알고리즘을 이용한 트러스 구조물의 설계최적화에 대한 이론적 배경과 수치해석 결과를 기술하였다. 트러스의 설계최적화를 수행하기 위하여 구조물의 중량을 최소화하는 것을 목적 함수로 하고 구조물에서 발생하는 응력과 변위의 허용치를 초과하지 않는 것을 구속조건으로 이용하였다. 본 연구에서는 개미군락알고리즘을 구조물의 최적화에 적용하기 위하여 외판원문제(travelling salesman problem: TSP)를 재 정의하는 방법을 사용하였으며 최대-최소개미시스템(max-min ant system)을 도입하여 트러스 구조물의 최적설계를 수행하였다. 이때 이산화 된 설계변수를 사용하였으며 구속조건을 처리하기 위해서 벌점함수를 사용하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 개미군락최적화 알고리즘은 구조최적화에 그 적용 가능성이 높았으며 전통적인 최적검색 기법의 새로운 대안으로 이용될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 객체지향 데이터베이스 시스템에서 중포 속성에 대한 색인구조로 다차원 색인구조를 이용하는 다차원 중포 색인구조(Multidimensional Nested Attribute Index: MD-NAI)의 최적 설계기법을 제시한다. MD-NAI는 일차원 색인구조를 이용한 중포 속성 색인구조에서 지원할 수 없는 클래스 계층상의 클래스 대치가 있는 중포 술어의 질의처리를 잘 지원할 수 있다. 그러나, MD-NAI는 사용자 질의 형태에 따라 색인검색의 성능이 매우 나빠질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 질의 형태에 따른 MD-NAI의 성능 개선을 위하여, 먼저 중포 술어에 대한 질의 정보로서 MD-NAI의 색인 페이지 영역의 최적 모양을 결정하고, 이 최적 모양을 갖는 색인 페이지 영역의 모양이 되도록 하는 영역분할 전략을 적용한다. 성능평가의 결과에 의하면, 주어진 질의 패턴에 따라 최적의 MD-NAI를 구성할 수 있었으며, 삼차원 MD-NAI의 경우에 질의 형태에 따라 5.5배까지 성능이 향상되었다.

In this paper, an integrated optimum design method for hybrid structural control system is studied. Not only the distribution and the capacity of passive devices but also those of active devices, and the controllers are treated as design variables in the proposed approach. Multi-objective optimization problem is formulated by using the preference function, which is newly defined in this study. Genetic algorithm is adopted as a numerical searching technique in order to simultaneously find the optimum solutions. The validity of the proposed method is verified through the example designs and the numerical simulations of an earthquake excited multi-degrees-of-freedom structure.

Many structural optimization problems are solved by numerical algorithms since these are complicated and nonlinear. To provide a wider base and popular it to structual design optimization, reliable, accurate and superlinearly convergent nonlinear programming algorithm with active-set strategy have been developed. One of these is RQP(recursive quadratic programming method). This algorithm has several parameters and its performance is influenced by variations of these key parameters. Therefore, an RQP algorithm is selected to enhance its numerical performances by choosing proper parameters. The paper persents these influences on its numerical performance. For comparison of performances, a structural design software for minimum weight of truss subjected to displacement, stress, and lower and upper bounds on design variables is also implemented.

Based on a bond-based peridynamics theory for dynamic crack propagation problems, this paper presents a design sensitivity analysis and optimization method. Peridynamics has a peculiar advantage over the existing continuum theory in the mathematical modelling of problems where discontinuities arise. For the design optimization of the crack propagation problems, a non-shape design sensitivity is derived using the adjoint variable method. The obtained adjoint sensitivity of displacement and strain energy turns out to be very accurate and efficient compared to the finite different sensitivity. The obtained design sensitivities are futher utilized to optimally control the position of bifurcation point in the design optimization of crack propagation in a plate under tension. A numerical experiment demonstrates that the optimal distribution of material density could delay the position of bifurcation.
