In this study, a repetitive response surface enhancement technique (RRSET) is proposed as a new system approximation method for the efficient multidisciplinary design and optimization (MDO). In order to represent the highly nonlinear behavior of the response with second order polynomials, RRSET introduces a design space transformation using stretching functions and repetitive response surface improvement. The tentative optimal point is repetitively included to the set of experimental points to better approximate the response surface of the system especially near the optimal point, hence a response surface with significantly improved accuracy can be generated with very small experimental points and system iterations. As a system optimizer, the simulated annealing, which generates a global design solution is utilized. The proposed technique is applied to several numerical examples, and demonstrates the validity and efficiency of the method. With its improved approximation accuracy, the RRSET can contribute to resolve large and complex system design problems under MDO environment.

본 논문에서는 X-FEM을 사용하여 혼합모드 하중 상태에서의 이차원 선형탄성체의 균열문제에 대한 형상 설계민감도 해석을 수행하였다. X-FEM이란 균열과 같은 특수한 해를 근사하는 방법으로써, 확장함수를 도입하여 FEM의 한계를 극복하는 방법론이다. X-FEM 하에서 해를 근사하는 데 쓰이는 확장함수들은 불연속성과 특이성을 포함하고 있어 물리적 영역에 의존한다. 이는 설계민감도 해석을 수행하는 과정에서 그러한 의존성을 고려해주는 것이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 X-FEM 기반의 형상 설계민감도 해석해를 제안하고자 한다. 식의 유도는 전 미분 공식에 기초하고 있으며, 형상함수의 설계변분에 대한 의존성에 관한 항을 추가시켰다. 또한, 균열 주위의 국부적인 공간에서의 확장된 자유도에 설계속도를 가한다. 이에 대한 몇 가지 수치 예제를 통하여 개발된 방법론의 타당성을 확인하였다.

광섬유 통신 시스템이 고속화되고 장거리를 전송하게 될 수록 편광모드 분산의 중요성은 더욱 부각되어 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 복굴절 광섬유에서 비선형 광펄스의 전파특성을 편광 모드 분산의 영향을 고려하여 시뮬레이션하였으며 이러한 현상이 발생되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 광섬유 비션형성에 의해서 GVD(Group Velocity Dispersion)와 마찬가기로 PMD(Polarization Mode Dispersion)에서도 부분적인 보상 현상이 나타남을 수치 결과를 통해 알 수 있었다. 이러한 광 전송 시뮬레이션을 구현하기 위해서 기존의 단계분할 푸리에 방식 (SS-FM, Split-Step Fourier Method)보다 장거리 전송시 오차의 발생이 적은 단계 분할 유한 요소법)SS-FEM, Split-Step Finite Element Method)을 적용하였으며, 또한 그 단점인 수행 속도를 개선한 희귀 행렬 근사 단계 분할 유한 요소법을 제안하였다. 그 결과 제안된 방법이 기존의 푸리에 연산법이나 일반적인 유한 요소법과 비교하여 더 빠른 수행 속도를 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The water entry forces acting on an air-dropped torpedo are of the restrictions on launch speed and launch altitude, because it could cause the structural damage to components of torpedo. Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the water entry forces with confidence according to launch conditions. In this study, an approximation method for water entry forces is presented, and the results using this approximation are compared with those of other numerical methods. The magnitude and duration of impact forces estimated by the present approximation agree with those of impact by the analysis of ideal or viscous flow. This method can give useful tools to select the launch in initial design stage.

In this paper, a novel technique is proposed to arbitrarily activate the nodal points in finite element model through the meshless approximation methods such as MLS(moving least squares method), and theoretical investigations are carried out including the consistency and boundeness of numerical solution to prove the validity of the proposed method. By using the proposed node activation technique, one can activate and handle only the concerned nodes as unknown variables among the large number of nodal points in the finite element model. Therefore, the proposed technique has a great potential in design and reanalysis procedure.

A maximum likelihood (ML) approach is presented for estimating the mean of radar cross section (RCS) of a Swerling III target and its numerical solution methods are discussed. The solution methods are based on an approximate expression for implementing the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. The methods are evaluated and compared through Monte Carlo simulations in terms of estimation accuracy and computational efficiency to obtain a most efficient method for both Swerling I and Swerling III targets. The methods are also compared with a previously reported method based on heuristics.

The objective of this paper is to provide a method of optimizing are as of the members as well as shape of both truss and arch structures. The design process includes satisfaction of stress and Euler buckling stress constraints for truss and combined stress constraints for arch structures. In order to reduce the number of detailed finite element analysis, the Force Approximation Method is used. A finite element analysis of the initial structure is performed and the gradients of the member end forces are calculated with respect to the areas and nodal coordinates. The gradients are used to form an approximate structural analysis based on first order Taylor series expansions of the member end forces. Using move limits, a numerical optimizer minimizes the volume of the structure with information from the approximate structural analysis. Numerical examples are performed and compared with other methods to demonstrate the efficiency and reliability of the Force Approximation Method for shape optimization. It is shown that the number of finite element analysis is greatly reduced and that it leads to a highly efficient method of shape optimization of structures.

An efficient optimization procedure combining the frequency approximation technique and the component-mode synthesis method is proposed for the structural dynamic optimization of the large structures subject to prescribed natural frequency constraints. Frequency constraints are approximated by using the first-order sensitivities with respect to both design parameters and their reciprocals. The component-mode synthesis method proposed by the authors in Ref.[8] is used for the repetitive detail finite-element analysis and sensitivity analysis. The validity of the proposed optimization procedure is confirmed through the numerical implementation of some examples. The presented approximation technique requires much smaller number of repetitive analysis than that using the sensitivities with respect to design parameters only, and further improvement in the numerical efficiency is achieved by the adoption of the introduced component-mode synthesis.

This research aims to examine accuracy and efficiency of the first four moments corresponding to mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis, which are estimated by a function approximation moment method (FAMM). In FAMM, the moments are estimated from an approximating quadratic function of a system response function. The function approximation is performed on a specially selected experimental region for accuracy, and the number of function evaluations is taken equal to that of the unknown coefficients for efficiency. For this purpose, three error-minimizing conditions are utilized and corresponding canonical experimental regions constructed accordingly. An interpolation function is then obtained using a D-optimal design and then the first four moments of it are obtained as the estimates for the system response function. In order to verify accuracy and efficiency of FAMM, several non-linear examples are considered including a polynomial of order 4, an exponential function, and a rational function. The moments calculated from various coefficients of variation show very good accuracy and efficiency in comparison with those from analytic integration or the Monte Carlo simulation and the experimental design technique proposed by Taguchi and updated by D'Errico and Zaino.
