본 논문은 특정 응용에 적합한 퍼지 제어기의 최적 설계 파라메터(퍼지 규칙과 소속 함수)를 찾는데 역전파 학습 과정과 유전 알고리즘을 결합한 Lamarckian 상호적응 기법을 이용한 뉴로-퍼지 제어기의 새로운 설계 방법을 제안한다. 설계 파라메타들은 진화에 의한 전역적 탐색을 통해 높은 포함값과 유용한 퍼지 규칙들을 갖는 규칙 베이스와 작은 근사화 오차와 좋은 제어 성능을 갖는 소속 함수들을 얻도록 제어기간 파라메타 조절을 수행하며, 학습에 의한 국부적 탐색을 통해 각 퍼지 제어기가 원하는 제어 결과를 나타내도록 제어기내 파라메타 조절을 수행한다. 제안한 상호적응 설계 방법은 유전 알고리즘의 모든 세대에서 역전파 학습이 이루어지므로 보다 좋은 근사화 능력을 나타나고, 사용한 무게 중심 비퍼지화기가 정확한 비퍼지화값을 계산하므로 보다 좋은 제어 성능을 가지며, 퍼지 규칙 베이스와 소속 함수들의 최적화 탐색 과정이 입출력 공간의 같은 퍼지 분할 상에서 통합된 적응 함수에 의하여 동시에 수행되므로 탐색을 위한 작업 공간이 아주 작아지는 장점이 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 Lamarckian 상호 적응에 의해 얻어진 FLC가 퍼지 규\ulcorner 수, 근사화 능력, 제어 성능등 모든면에서 다른 방법에 의해 얻어진 FLC보다 가장 우수함을 보여준다.

The use of evolutionary algorithm is limited in the field of aerodynamics, mainly because the population-based search algorithm requires excessive CPU time. In this paper a coupling method with adaptive range genetic algorithm for floating point and back-propagation neural network is proposed to efficiently obtain a converged solution. As a result, it is shown that a reduction of 14% and 33% respectively in wave drag and its consumed time can be achieved by the new method.

This paper proposes an efficient learning algorithm for improving the training performance of the neural network. The proposed method improves the training performance by applying the backpropagation algorithm of a global optimization method which is a hybrid of a stochastic approximation and a conjugate gradient method. The approximate initial point for f a ~gtl obal optimization is estimated first by applying the stochastic approximation, and then the conjugate gradient method, which is the fast gradient descent method, is applied for a high speed optimization. The proposed method has been applied to the parity checking and the pattern classification, and the simulation results show that the performance of the proposed method is superior to those of the conventional backpropagation and the backpropagation algorithm which is a hyhrid of the stochastic approximation and steepest descent method.

The focus of this work is on the development of large-scale numerical optimization methods for optimal control of steady incompressible Navier-Stokes flows. The control is affected by the suction or injection of fluid on portions of the boundary, and the objective function of fluid on portions of the boundary, and the objective function represents the rate at which energy is dissipated in the fluid. We develop reduced Hessian sequential quadratic programming. Both quasi-Newton and Newton variants are developed and compared to the approach of eliminating the flow equations and variables, which is effectively the generalized reduced gradient method. Optimal control problems we solved for two-dimensional flow around a cylinder. The examples demonstrate at least an order-of-magnitude reduction in time taken, allowing the optimal solution of flow control problems in as little as half an hour on a desktop workstation.

A rotor overlap technique was adapted to improve the performance of a axial turbine. The technique secured sufficient flow passage by additional height at the rotor tip and hub. especially in a supersonic turbine, the technique reduced the chance of chocking in the rotor passage, and made to be satisfied the design pressure ratio. However, the technique also made additional losses, like a pumping loss, expansion loss, etc. Therefore, a optimization technique was appled to maximize the improvement of the turbine performance. An approximate optimization method was used for the investigation to secure the computational efficiency. The design variables was shape factors of a rotor overlap. Results indicated that a significant improvement in turbine performance can be achieved through the optimization of the rotor overlap.

The purpose of this study is to find the optimum skirt size for a composite pressure vessel using optimum analysis technique. The size optimization for skirt shape of a composite pressure vessel was conducted using sub-problem approximation method and batch processing codes programmed by APDL(ANSYS Parametric Design Language). The thickness and length of skirt part were selected as design variables for the optimum analysis. The objective function and constraints were chosen as weight and displacement of skirt part, respectively. The numerical results showed that the weight of skirt of a composite pressure vessel would be saved by maximum 4.38% through the size optimization analysis for the skirt shape.

In this research, a multilevel decomposition technique to enhance the efficiency of the configuration optimization of truss structures was proposed. On the first level, the nonlinear programming problem was formulated considering cross-sectional areas as design variables, weight, or volume as objective function and behavior under multiloading condition as design constraint. Said nonlinear programming problem was transformed into a sequential linear programming problem. which was effective in calculation through the approximation of member forces using behavior space approach. Such approach has proven to be efficient in sensitivity analysis and different form existing shape optimization studies. The modified method of feasible direction (MMFD) was used for the optimization process. On the second level, by treating only shape design variables, the optimum problem was transformed into and unconstrained optimal design problem. A unidirectional search technique was used. As numerical examples, some truss structures were applied to illustrate the applicability. and validity of the formulated algorithm.

We present a new technique for removing interior knots of parametric B-spline curves. An initial curve is constructed by continuous $L_{\infty}$ approximation proposed by Eck and Hadenfeld. We employ Hausdorff distance to measure the shape difference between the original curve and the initial one. The final curve is obtained by minimizing their Hausdorff distance. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique with experimental results on various types of planar and spatial curves.

This paper proposes a sampling-based sensitivity method for dealing with electromagnetic coupled design problems effectively. The black-box modeling technique is basically applied to obtain an optimum regardless of how strong the electromagnetic, thermal and structural analyses are coupled with each other. To achieve this, Kriging surrogate models are produced in a hyper-cubic local window with the center of a current design point. Then design sensitivity values are extracted from the differentiation of basis functions which consist of the models. The proposed method falls under a hybrid optimization method which takes advantages of the sampling-based and the sensitivity-based methods. Owing to the aforementioned feature, the method can be applied even to electromagnetic problems of which the material properties are strongly coupled with thermal or structural outputs. To examine the accuracy and validity of the proposed method, a strongly nonlinear mathematical example and a coil design problem for local induction heating are tested.

The outer tie rod is one of the part of steering system, the optimization process was executed to find the lightweight design. The inner tie rod was considered in the optimum design of an outer tie rod. it could be closer to the test condition than in the case of considering outer tie rod only. The aluminum forging material was considered as a weight reduction proposal. The target of optimization was the shape of the minimum weight to resist at the load of buckling. RSM and Kriging interpolation method were applied as a optimization method to consider the nonlinear shape optimization problem. Then, 16.3%, 16.6% of weight reduction was obtained from the result comparing with that of the initial model. The results of meta model optimization was compared with that of finite element method. The error values of buckling load estimation were 2.6%, 2.04%. and those of weight estimation were 0.17%, 0.13%. Therefore, it seemed that the result of Kriging model could be obtained closer to optimum value than that of RSM model.
