The main obstacle to high track density in HDD id the structural resonances of the suspension. The most critical mode is sway mode and second torsion mode, when a data is read and written. It is common fact that the effect of two modes is smaller when a thickness is bulky. But the stiffness of suspension is smaller, the slider can follow a disk better. Because these two fact are reciprocal, a compromise is needed. So we investigated another method to improve band width without changing of the thickness of suspension but with changing of the shape.

In this paper, we use two method - Sensitivity analysis and SIP using ADS. And we obtained the optimized value close to target value.

In many industries, the linear motor replaces the existing framework for linear transportation. Similar to other conventional motors, it is important to minimize the ripple of thrust and to maximize the thrust force of the linear motor. Because the two objectives are associated to each other, the multi-objective design process is necessary considering all objectives. This paper intends to optimize geometric parameters of the linear motor with two design objectives using design of experiments and sequential response surface method.

In this study, a framework for optimizing the opening in an outrigger wall is proposed. To solve a constrained bounded optimization problem, an in-house finite element program and SQP algorithm in Python SciPy library are utilized. The openings of the outrigger wall are located according to the strut-tie behavior of the outrigger wall deep beam. A linear interpolation method is used to obtain differentiable continuous functions required for optimization, whereas a database is used for the efficiency of the optimization program. By comparing the result of the two-variable optimization through the moving path of the search algorithm, it is confirmed that the algorithm efficiently determines the optimized result. When the size of each opening is set to individual variables rather than the same width of all openings, the value of the objective function is minimized to obtain better optimization results. It was confirmed that the optimization time can be effectively reduced when using the database in the optimization process.

본 연구에서는 탑승객의 안전과 국내 환경에 적합한 제동거리 확보를 위해 새로운 개념의 스프링을 사용한 제동장치를 설계하고자 한다. 새로운 제동장치에 사용되는 스프링은 변위에 따라 감쇠 성능 특성을변화시키는 Multi-Rate 변위 감응형 스프링을 최적화하여 적용하였다. 이를 위한 최적화 기법으로는 비선형 최적화 기법인 순차적 2차계획법(Sequential Quadratic Programming, SQP)을 사용하였으며 먼저 Ziprider의 운동을 제동거리와 제동시 발생하는 회전각의 관계로 표현 가능한 수치모델을 개발하였다. 또한 개발된 수치모델은 Matlab을 이용하여 코드화하고 그 결과를 RecurDyn과 비교 분석하였다.

The purpose of this study is related to automatic hull-form design for ships operating at two speeds. Research was conducted using a series 60 ($C_B=0.6$) ship as a target, which has the most basic ship hull-form. Hull-form development was pursued from the viewpoint of improving resistance performance. In particular, automatic hull-form design for a ship was performed to improve wave resistance, which is closely related to hull-forms. For this purpose, we developed automatic hull-form design software for ships by combining an optimization technique, resistance prediction technique and hull-form modification technique, appling the software developed to a target ship. A sequential quadratic programming method was used for optimization, and a potential-based panel method was used to predict resistance performance. A Gaussian-type modification function was developed and applied to change the ship hull-form. The software developed was used to design a target ship operating at two different speeds, and the performance of the resulting optimized hull was compared with the results of the original hull. In order to verify the validity of the program developed, experimental results obtained in model tests were compared with calculated values by numerical analysis.

Geometric modeling tool and analysis tool of shell surface have been developed in the different environments and purposes. Thus they cannot be naturally fitted to each other for the integrated design and analysis. In the present study, an integrated framework of geometric modeling, analysis， and design optimization is proposed. It is based on the common representation of B-spline surface patch. In the analysis module, a geometrically-exact shell finite element is implemented. In shape optimization module, control points of the surface are selected as design variables. For the computation of shape sensitivities, semi-analytical method is used. Sequential linear programming(SLP) is adopted for the shape optimization of surfaces. The developed integrated framework should serve as a powerful tool for the geometric modeling, analysis, and shape design of surfaces.

This paper presents a back-calculation technique leer the prediction of the behavior of earth wall inserted in multi-layered soil deposit. The soil properties are back-calculated from the measured displacement at each construction stage and the behavior of earth wall far the next construction stage is predicted using back-calculated soil properties. For multi-layered soil deposit, the back-calculation would be very difficult due to the increase in the number of variables. In this study, to solve this difficulty, the back-calculation was performed successively from the lowest layer to the upper layers. An efficient elasto-plastic beam-column analysis was used for forward analysis to minimize the computation time of iterative back-calculation procedure. The coefficients of subgrade reaction and lateral earth pressure necessary for the formation of p-y curve were selected as back calculation variables, and to minimize the effect of abnormal behavior of the wall which might be caused by any unexpected action during construction, the difference between measured displacement increment and computed displacement increment at each construction stages is used as the objective function of optimization. The constrained sequential linear programming was used for the optimization technique to found values of variables minimizing the objective function. The proposed method in this study was verified using numerically generated data and measured field data.
