The butterfly valve has been used to control a flow effectively in the industrial because of its lightweight, simple structure and the rapidity of its manipulation. However, it is difficult to have the existing structural optimization using field analysis from CFD to structure analysis when the structure is influenced by fluid. This paper is evaluated the specificity to get the flow characteristic and stability of the butterfly valve using FEM and CFD. Also, it accomplished the shape optimization design using the orthogonal arrangement and characteristic function. Research result, a few experiments showed the optimal results of three dimensional structures to be multi-objective.

Kriging model is widely used as design DACE(analysis and computer experiments) model in the field of engineering design to accomplish computationally feasible design optimization. In this paper, the optimization of gate valve was performed using Kriging based approximation model. The DACE modeling, known as the one of Kriging interpolation, is introduced to obtain the surrogate approximation model of the function. In addition, we describe the definition, the prediction function and the algorithm of Kriging method and examine the accuracy of Kriging by using validation method.

터빈 블레이드와 같은 시스템의 피로수명은 형상 설계변수의 변화에 따라 비선형적으로 복잡하게 나타난다. 방대한 계산시간이 요구되는 이러한 시스템의 CAE 기반 파라메트릭 설계최적화 문제에 근사기법인 크리깅 메타모델 방법이 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 터빈 블레이드의 피로수명을 향상시키기 위하여, 설계변수 변화에 따른 피로수명의 비선형성을 고려함은 물론 직교성과 균형성을 모두 만족하는 다 수준 전산 실험계획법을 수행하여 크리깅 메타모델을 구축하였다. 크리깅 메타모델로부터 만족도 함수를 적용하여 피로 수명을 최적화하였고, 몬테카를로 모의실험법을 적용한 식스시그마 최적설계를 수행하여 피로수명의 결함률을 향상시킨 최적해의 강건성을 확보하였다.

In practical design process, designer needs to find an optimal solution by using full factorial discrete combination, rather than by using optimization algorithm considering continuous design variables. So, ANOVA(Analysis of Variance) based on an orthogonal array, i.e. Taguchi method, has been widely used in most parts of industry area. However, the Taguchi method is limited for the shape optimization by using CAE, because the multi-level and multi-objective optimization can't be carried out simultaneously. In this study, a combined method was proposed taking into account of multi-level computational orthogonal array and TOPSIS(Technique for Order preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution), which is known as a classical method of multiple attribute decision making and enables to solve various decision making or selection problems in an aspect of multi-objective optimization. The proposed method was applied to a case study of the multi-level shape optimization of lower arm used to automobile parts, and the design space was explored via an efficient application of the related CAE tools. The multi-level shape optimization was performed sequentially by applying both of the neural network model generated from seven-level four-factor computational orthogonal array and the TOPSIS. The weight and maximum stress of the lower arm, as the objective functions for the multi-level shape optimization, showed an improvement of 0.07% and 17.89%, respectively. In addition, the number of CAE carried out for the shape optimization was only 55 times in comparison to full factorial method necessary to 2,401 times.

상용 구조해석 프로그램을 이용한 구조물의 최적설계에서는 최적화 프로그램과 구조해석 프로그램의 연결 및 두 프로그램 사이의 데이터 교환이 용이하지 못하다. 최근 많은 구조물 설계자들은 근사 최적화 기법을 이용하여 이와 같은 문제들을 해결하고 있다. 일반적으로 최적실계 문제의 설계변수에 대한 설계영역은 아주 작은 값에서 아주 큰 값으로 범위가 정해진다. 이렇게 넓은 설계영역에서 생성된 시스템 응답 근사식의 정확도는 떨어지게 되며, 이는 근사 최적해에 지배적인 영향을 미친다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 넓은 설계영역에서 정확도가 높은 근사식 생성을 위한 순차 설계영역법 개발에 있다. 순차 설계영역에서의 근사식은 반응표면법을 이용하여 구성하고, 반응표면법에 필요한 실험방법으로는 직교 배열표를 사용한다. 본 연구에서는 순차 설계영역법의 신뢰도 검증을 위하여 3부재 및 10부재 트러스 구조물을 수치예제로 선정한다.

The butterfly valve has been used to control the switch and flux of fluid. While research about the characteristics of butterfly valve fluid have been done, study of the optimum design, considering structural safety, must keep pace with it. Thus, a method is proposed for an optimum butterfly valve. Initially, the stability of the butterfly valve, using FEM and CFD, is evaluated, and a variable is selected using the initial analysis results. Also, the shape optimization design is accomplished using the DACE model. In terms of research results, the experiment satisfied the objective and limitation functions.

Recently, as the semiconductor production technology develops, there has been growing interest in the cooling system using micro fluid pump. Among the various types of micro fluid pump, the valve-less diffuser/nozzle has been extensively studied in recent years. However, the flat-walled diffuser/nozzle flow has not been clearly looked into due to its non-linear characteristics. In this paper, the flow characteristics of the flat-walled diffuser/nozzle have been analyzed using similitude model and simulations. Similitude models are designed so that the flow pattern is same as that of 1/10 scale flow by using high viscous fluid as working fluid. The results are compared to the simulations. It is shown that the flow characteristics of 2D simulation are different from 3D simulations at high Re region, and the measured pump efficiency is highly dependent on the pressure difference as well as the channel geometry. From these results, the desirable conditions for the efficient pump is discussed.
