In this paper, a novel moving least squares interface welding method is proposed to carry out the coupled analysis of whole model composed of independently modeled finite element substructures with nodal mismatching interfaces. To verify the validity, and efficiency of the proposed interface welding method, various numerical examples are worked out including patch tests, convergence tests, and examples of coupled analyses of the structural systems with mismatching substructures. From the numerical tests, it is confirmed that one can efficiently carry out the coupled analysis of whole model composed of mismatching finite element substructures through the proposed method without any remeshing or any additional unknown.

새로운 자유격자 관사를 이용한 점별 계산법을 제안한다 이동 최소 자승법을 이용한 기저의 생성과 기저의 근사적 미분을 동시에 구해내는 자유격자 근사를 유도하여, 직접 점별 계산법을 고안하였다. 기존의 자유 격자 법에서는 기저의 직접 미분을 사용하므로 높은 계산 비용이 필요하지만, 이 논문에서 제안된 방법은 기저의 생성과 동시에 기저의 근사적 미분을 구하게 된다. 또한 기존의 방법에서 필요하였던, 창 함수(window function)의 미분가능성을 연속성으로 대치할 수 있으므로, 주어진 문제에 따라 다양한 창 함수를 이용할 수 있다. 기저의 재생성과 interpolation의 수렴성을 소개하고, 수치 예제로서, Poisson 문제를 통해 이 방법의 유효함을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 해양작업 상태의 하중조건을 고려한 부유식 원유생산 저장 하역 장치에 설치된 라이져 보강구조의 강도설계에 관련하여 다양한 근사화 기법 기반 설계 최적화 및 그 성능을 비교하고자 한다. 설계 최적화 문제는 하중조건별 구조강도의 제한조건 하에서 중량을 최소화하여 설계변수인 구조 부재치수가 결정되도록 정식화 된다. 비교 연구를 위해 사용된 근사화 기법은 반응표면법 기반 순차적 근사최적화(RBSAO), 크리깅 기반 순차적 근사최적화(KBSAO), 그리고 개선된 이동최소자승법(MLSM) 기반 근사최적화 기법인 CF-MLSM와 Post-MLSM이다. 본 연구에 적용한 MLSM 기반 근사최적화 기법들은 제한조건의 가용성을 보장할 수 있도록 새롭게 개발되었다. 다양한 근사화 모델 기반 설계 최적화 기법에 의한 결과는 설계 해의 개선 및 수렴속도 등의 수치적 성능을 기준으로 실제 비근사 설계최적화 결과와 비교검토 하였다.

We present a fast 3D shape deformation method that achieves smoothly deformed result by approximating a rigid transformation based on moving least squares (MLS). Our modified MLS formulation reduces the computation cost for computing the optimal transformation of each point and still keeps the rigidity of the deformed results. Even complex geometric shapes are easily, intuitively, and interactively deformed by manipulating point and ellipsoidal handles.

This study is focused on reliability based design optimization (RBDO) using moving least squares. A response surface is used to derive a limit-state equation for reliability based design optimization. Response surface method (RSM) with least square method (LSM) or Kriging will be used as a response surface. RSM is fast to make the response surface. On the other hand, RSM has disadvantage to make the response surface of nonlinear equation. Kriging can make the response surface in nonlinear equation precisely but needs considerable amount of computations. The moving least square method (MLSM) is made of both methods (RSM with LSM+Kriging). Numerical results by MLSM are compared with those by LMS in Rosenbrock function and six-hump carmel back function. The RBDO of engine duct of smart UAV is pursued in this paper. It is proved that RBDO is useful tool for aerospace structural optimal design problems.

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.

The paper deals with the comparative study of design optimization based on various approximation techniques in strength design of riser support structure installed on floating production storage and offloading unit(FPSO) using offshore operation loading conditions. The design optimization problem is formulated such that structural member sizing variables are determined by minimizing the weight of riser support structure subject to the constraints of structural strength in terms of loading conditions. The approximation techniques used in the comparative study are response surface method based sequential approximate optimization(RBSAO), Kriging based sequential approximate optimization(KBSAO), and the enhanced moving least squares method(MLSM) based approximate optimization such as CF(constraint feasible)-MLSM and Post-MLSM. Commercial process integration and design optimization(PIDO) tools are employed for the applications of RBSAO and KBSAO. The enhanced MLSM based approximate optimization techniques are newly developed to ensure the constraint feasibility. In the context of numerical performances such as design solution and computational cost, the solution results from approximate techniques based design optimization are compared to actual non-approximate design optimization.

The comparative study of regression-model-based approximate optimization techniques used in the strength design of an automotive knuckle component that will be under bump and brake loading conditions is carried out. The design problem is formulated such that the cross-sectional sizing variables are determined by minimizing the weight of the knuckle component that is subjected to stresses, deformations, and vibration frequency constraints. The techniques used in the comparative study are sequential approximate optimization (SAO), sequential two-point diagonal quadratic approximate optimization (STDQAO), and approximate optimization based on enhanced moving least squares method (MLSM), such as CF (constraint feasible)-MLSM and Post-MLSM. Commercial process integration and design optimization (PIDO) tools are utilized for the application of SAO and STDQAO. The enhanced MLSM-based approximate optimization techniques are newly developed to ensure constraint feasibility. The results of the approximate optimization techniques are compared with those of actual non-approximate optimization to evaluate their numerical performances.

본 논문은 비선형 시스템의 퍼지모델을 위해 정보 Granules 기반 퍼지추론 시스템 모델의 최적화를 제시한다. 퍼지모델은 주로 경험적 방법에 의해 추출되기 때문에 보다 구체적이고 체계적인 방법에 의한 동정 및 최적화 될 필요성이 요구된다. 제안된 규칙베이스 퍼지모델은 HCM 클러스터링 방법, 컴플렉스 알고리즘 및 퍼지추론 방법을 이용하여 시스템 구조와 파라미터 동정을 수행한다. 두 가지 형태의 퍼지모델 추론 방법은 간략추론, 선형추론에 의해 시행된다. 본 논문에서는 퍼지모델의 입력변수와 퍼지 입력 공간 분할 및 입출력 데이타의 중심값을 구해서 후반부 다항식함수에 의한 정보 Granules 기반 구조 동정과 파라미터 동정을 통해 비선형 시스템을 표현한다. 전반부 파라미터의 동정에는 HCM 클러스터링 방법과 컴플렉스 알고리즘을 사용하고, 후반부는 표준 HCM 클러스터링과 표준 최소자승법을 사용하여 동정한다. 그리고 학습 및 테스트 데이타의 성능견과의 상호균형을 얻기 위한 하중값을 가진 성능지수를 제시함으로써 근사화와 예측성능의 향상을 꾀한다. 제안된 비선형 모델의 성능평가를 통해 그 우수성을 보인다.
