Optimal design of the water supply pipe network aims to minimize construction cost while satisfying the required hydraulic constraints such as the minimum and maximum pressures, and velocity. Since considering one single design factor (i.e., cost) is very vulnerable for including future conditions and cannot satisfy operator's needs, various design factors should be considered. Hence, this study presents three kinds of design factors (i.e., minimizing construction cost, maximizing reliability, and surplus head) to perform multi-objective optimization design. Harmony Search (HS) Algorithm is used as an optimization technique. As well-known benchmark networks, Hanoi network and Gyeonggi-do P city real world network are used to verify the applicability of the proposed model. In addition, the proposed multi-objective model is also applied to a real water distribution networks and the optimization results were statistically analyzed. The results of the optimal design for the benchmark and real networks indicated much better performance compared to those of existing designs and the other approach (i.e., Genetic Algorithm) in terms of cost and reliability, cost, and surplus head. As a result, this study is expected to contribute for the efficient design of water distribution networks.

인터넷이 발전함에 따라 네트워크 시스템의 토폴로지 설계에 관한 여러 가지 문제들에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 이러한 네트워크의 토폴로지 구조는 서비스 센터, 터미널(사용자), 연결 케이블로 이루어져 있다. 근래에 이런 네트워크 시스템들은 사용자들로부터의 요구사항이 많아지고 있기에 주로 광케이블로 구축하는 경우가 점차 늘어나고 있다지만, 광케이블의 비판 비용을 고려하면 네트워크의 구조가 스패닝 트리(spanning tree)로 구축되어 지는 것이 바람직하다고 볼 수 있다. 네트워크 토폴로지 설계 문제들은 연결비용, 평균 메시지 지연, 네트워크 신뢰도 등과 같은 설계 기준들을 최적으로 만족하는 토폴로지를 탐색하는 것으로 정의될 수 있다. 최근에 유전자 알고리즘(GA)은 네트워크 최적화 문제, 조합 최적화 문제, 다목적 최적화 문제 등과 같은 관련된 분야에서 많은 연구들이 이루어지고 있으며 또한, 많은 실세계의 문제를 위한 최적화 기술로서 그 잠재력을 매우 주목 받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연결비용, 평균 메시지 지연, 네트워크 신뢰도를 고려하여, 광케이블로 구성되어 지는 광대역통신 네트워크의 2목적 네트워크 토폴로지 설계 문제들을 풀기 위한 GA를 제안한다. 또한, 후보 네트워크 토폴로지 구조를 염색체(chromosome)로 표현하기 위해 Prtifer수(PN_와 클러스터 스트링으로 구성되어지는 새로운 엔코딩 방법도 제안한다. 마지막으로 수치예를 통해 제안한 GA의 성능을 평가할 것이다.

For a coastal or harbor structure design, one of the most important environmental factors is the appropriate design wave condition. Especially, the information of deepwater wave height distribution is essential for reliability design. In this paper, a set of deep water wave data obtained from KORDI(2003) were analyzed for extreme wave heights. These wave data at 67 stations off the Korean coast from 1979 to 1998 were arranged in the 16 directions. The probability distributions considered in this research were the Weibull, the Gumbel, the Log-pearson Type-III, and Lognormal distribution. For each of these distributions, three parameter estimation methods, i.e. the method of moments, maximum likelihood and probability weighted moments, were applied. Chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit tests were performed, and the assumed distribution was accepted at the confidence level 95%. Gumbel distribution which best fits to the 67 station was selected as the most probable parent distribution, and optimally estimated parameters and 50 year design wave heights were presented.

In this study, Based on the optimization developed in Um et al. (2009), optimum design method of the alignment when building new lines and renewing existing ones is presented. The object function used for optimization is passenger comfort ($P_{CT}$) which was proposed in BSI (2006). Other aspects of track/vehicle interaction will be treated in boundary conditions. And track/vehicle interaction analysis is peformed using KTX-II model. From the analysis results, it was found that the optimum alignments are affected by the angle (I) between adjacent straight lines and $R-L_t$ combinations. Also the dynamic analysis confirms well the results from the simplified analysis. However, In the most cases, the $P_{CT}$ values in the dynamic analysis are higher than the simplified $P_{CT}$ values. If both methods are used when optimizing the alignment, it will be possible to design the alignments more rapidly and reliably.

전력설비를 비롯하여 모든 생산설비나 공공 기간설비 등의 설계, 운용, 건설은 설비의 목적달성에 충분한 기능을 가지며 가능한 한 저렴하고 효율적으로 이루어져야만 된다. 전력계통 운용상 계획된 송전선은 필요로하는 전력을 발생지점에서부터 소비지점까지 가장 경제적 효율적으로 전송시킬 수 있는 최적설계를 이루어야 한다. 도시미관, 소음 등의 환경과의 조화, 변전소용 부지의 문제, 운전보수나 건설공사비의 저렴화, 안정성, 신뢰성등의 문제를 가스절연기기가 해결할 수 있으므로 최근 가스절연변전소가 급속히 보급되고 있다. 고전압 대전류를 취급하는 초고압송전용 전력기기의 성능향상과 소형경량화, 안전성, 환경조화성 등을 실현시키기 위해서는 양질의 전기절연을 이룩하여야만 한다. 결국 전기절연재료기술이 양질의 전기를 공급할 수 있다고 해도 과언이 아닐 것이다. 즉 초고압전력계통의 구성에 대하여도 절연재료의 성능과 합리적 설계가 기반기술로 대두하게 된다. 따라서 전력계통의 초고압화도 재료기술과 직결되며 현재 우리나라의 실정에서는 특히 취약한 신절연기술에 대하여 보다 심층적인 연구가 수행되어야 될 것이다.

This paper presents a procedure of evaluation of reservoir capacity for additional water storage for dam rehabilitation. One of the techniques on the extension of rainfall has been developed, and the daily stream flows were simulated by the NWS-PC long-term rainfall-runoff model with the input of the extended daily rainfall which was stochastically generated by the nonhomogeneous markov chain model. We peformed a reliability analysis to Guisan dam about the optimal capacity of dam rehabilitation by using performance criteria that Hashimoto et al. (1982) presented. We estimated that the most suitable water level is approximately 155EL.M. suggested that this method can use supplemental methods to estimate optimum dam scale.

In this paper, the research contents and results related to the automation of the hull-form optimal design of container ships are summarized. A container ship is a ship that generally operates near Froude number of 0.26. To implement hull-form optimal design automation for ships operating at this speed, an optimization algorithm, a hull-form change algorithm, a ship performance prediction algorithm, an automation algorithm, and an iterative calculation technique were applied to develop a numerical analysis computer program that enables hull-form optimal design automation of the container ship, and it was named HOTCONTAINER. In this study, a sensitivity analysis algorithm was developed and applied to appropriately set design variables for hull-form optimal design. To understand the reliability and real ship applicability of the developed algorithm, a numerical analysis was performed on KCS(KRISO Container Ship), a container ship that has been studied in various ways worldwide.

This paper aimed to summarize research on technologies that could efficiently reduce wave-making resistance of container ships. Tto develop wave resistance reduction technology that could be applied to container ships and use it in real ship design, hull-form optimal design was performed by applying optimization algorithms, hull-form change algorithms, ship performance prediction algorithms, automation algorithms, and iterative optimal design techniques. A computer program was also developed. To properly set design variables known to be important elements in hull-form optimal design and to efficiently set lower and upper limits of design variables, a sensitivity analysis algorithm was developed and applied to hull-form optimal design. To predict the reliability and applicability of the developed computer program for real ships, hull-form optimal design was performed for a KRISO Container Ship (KCS), a container ship with various studies conducted worldwide. Hull-form optimal design was performed at Fn=0.26, the design speed of the KCS ship. Numerical analysis was performed on the hull-form of the target ship, the KCS ship, and the hull-form of the ship derived as a result of the hull-form optimal design to determine wave resistance, wave system, and wave height. The optimal ship's wave resistance was found to be reduced by 80.60% compared to the target ship. The displacement and wetted surface area were also found to be reduced by 1.54% and 1.21%, respectively.

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.
