This paper proposes a new algorithm of MS-EIDV (modal sensitivity-effective independence distribution vector) for determining optimal accelerometer locations (OAL) by using the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) derived from mode-shape sensitivities. Also, the paper provides a reasonable guideline for selecting OAL which can reflect dynamic responses of a structure effectively. Since OAL should be determined with known values of structural parameters but since the parameters can be estimated by applying an inverse method such as SI (system identification) using measured response, the paper proposes a statistical method to overcome the paradox by considering the error bound of the structural parameters. To examine the proposed methods, a frequency-domain SI method has been applied. By using the identified results, the minimum necessary number of accelerometers could be selected depending on the number of target measurable modes. Through simulation studies, the results by applying EIDV method directly using the information of mode shapes were compared with those by applying the proposed MS-EIDV.

An optimal shape design algorithm is suggested to systematically design a traditional Korean musical instrument, the Pyeongyeong. The Pyeongyeong consists of 16 different chime stones called Gyeongpyeons. The first natural vibration frequency of each Gyeongpyeon must be adjusted to its target frequency, which is determined by the traditional sound tuning method. The second and third natural frequencies must be proportional to the first natural frequency with a specific ratio (1:1.498:2.378). The key idea in our suggested design algorithm is to use the sensitivity of natural frequencies to the variation in the length of each side of a Gyeongpyeon. The dimensions of five different Gyeongpyeons are determined by following the suggested algorithm. Changes in natural frequencies with respect to local thickness variation are closely investigated to compensate for errors that may occur during manufacturing.

제어봉구동장치는 원자력발전소에서 사용되는 기기로서, 가늘고 긴 수직 외팔보의 형상을 하고 있어 지진과 같은 동적하중에 취약한 구조를 갖고 있다. 따라서 발전소가 건설되는 지반의 다양한 지진하중에 대한 동적해석이 중요한 설계요건으로 되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 제어봉구동장치의 고유진동수를 제어하기 위한 기초연구로써 제어봉구동장치의 설계변경이 동적특성에 미치는 영향, 즉 고유진동수에 대한 설계 민감도 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 방법으로는 유한요소 프로그램의 구조 해석 결과에 변분법을 이용한 설계 민감도법을 사용하였다. 해석 결과는 유한차분에의한 결과와 일치함을 보였고, 제어봉구동장치의 초기설계 단계에서 유용한 정보로 활용할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 이러한 결과는 최적설계 프로그램등과 연계되어 구조물의 설계 개선에 많은 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.

대용량 BLDC 모터의 진동과 소음의 원인은 영구자석과 슬롯형상에 의한 코깅토크와 전류 파형에 의한 고주파이다. 특히 대용량 BLDC의 경우 코깅토크에 의한 진동 및 소음의 영향이 상대적으로 큰 값을 가지게 되며, 본 연구는 5MW급 연구자석형 전동기에서 코깅토크 발생원인 중 하나인 영구자석의 형상을 최적화하기 위하여 RSM(Response Surface Method)과 민감도기법을 적용하여 코깅토크 저감을 위한 연구를 하였다. FEM에 의해서 자속밀도분포와 토크를 계산하고, 1개의 목적함수와 3개의 설계변수를 설정하여 최적화 하였다. FEM과 최적화기법(RSM+민감도기법)을 결합하여 영구자석의 형상을 최적화한 결과 코깅토크의 ripple이 최대 20%정도로 감소되었으며, 목적함수와 설계변수의 개수에 따라 더욱 개선될 수 있다.

In the design procedure of the cooling tower the form-finding of the shell is the most important process, because the shape of the shell determines the sensitivity of dynamic behaviour of the whole tower against wind excitation. In engineering practice, geometric parameters of the shell are generally determined based on natural frequency analysis. 32 cooling tower shell geometries were selected through variation of the geometric parameters of an existing cooling tower shell. They were evaluated based on the first natural frequency. From the result three representative cooling towers are selected for the analysis of the structural behaviour by means of linear FE-method. As a result, a hyperbolic rotational shell with the small radius overall will yield the shell geometry with a higher first natural frequency and thus a wind-insensitive structure.

Design sensitivity analysis and topology design optimization for a piezoelectric crystal resonator are developed. The piezoelectric crystal resonator is deformed mechanically when subjected to electric charge on the electrodes, or vice versa. The Mindlin plate theory with higher-order interpolations along thickness direction is employed for analyzing the thickness-shear vibrations of the crystal resonator. Thin electrode plates are masked on the top and bottom layers of the crystal plate in order to enforce to vibrate it or detect electric signals. Although the electrode is very thin, its weight and shape could change the performance of the resonators. Thus, the design variables are the bulk material densities corresponding to the mass of masking electrode plates. An optimization problem is formulated to find the optimal topology of electrodes, maximizing the thickness-shear contribution of strain energy at the desired motion and restricting the allowable volume and area of masking plates. The necessary design gradients for the thickness-shear frequency(eigenvalue) and the corresponding mode shape(eigenvector) are computed very efficiently and accurately using the analytical design sensitivity analysis method using the eigenvector expansion concept. Through some demonstrative numerical examples, the design sensitivity analysis method is verified to be very efficient and accurate by comparing with the finite difference method. It is also observed that the optimal electrode design yields an improved mode shape and thickness-shear energy.

A time-domain panel method based on the potential flow theory and the time-stepping method is developed to predict the steady/unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of FM07, which is the BWB (Blended-wing body) type MAV. In the aerodynamic analyses, we used two types of the initial model(Case I) and the improved model(Case II), which is moved the gravity center toward the rear and has larger aspect ratio. In the steady aerodynamic analyses, it is revealed that improved model has higher lift to drag ratio(L/D) and more stable pitch characteristic than those of the initial model. In the unsteady aerodynamic analyses for sudden acceleration motion similar to the launch phase of MAV, it seemed that there is a rapid increase of the lift coefficient after the launch and unsteady results are good agreed compare with steady results in just a few times. In the analysis for pitch oscillation motion, which is occurred at the cruise condition of the FM07, it shows that unsteady aerodynamic coefficients looped around steady results and the improved model has more sensitive aerodynamic characteristics.

This paper describes the time rate of change of dynamic response of a cantilever beam inserted with a damping element, such as bonding, which is excited under a general force at various locations. A sensitivity analysis was performed in a finite element model to show that two types of second-order algebraic governing equations were used to predict the rate of change of dynamic displacement: one is related to the modal coordinate linked to a physical coordinate, and the other to the design parameter of the time rate of change of displacement. The sensitivity differential equation formulation includes more complicated terms compared with that of the undamped cantilever beam. The sensitivities of the dynamic response were observed by changing the location of the excitation force, displacement extraction, and cross-sectional area of the beam. The analytical results obtained by this suggested theory showed a relatively good agreement when compared with those obtained using the commercial finite element program. The suggested analysis procedure enables the prediction of the response sensitivity for any finite element model of the dynamic system.

SRM은 회전자의 구조가 간단하고 간단한 제어장치로 구동이 가능한 장점이 있지만 Cogging Torque로 인한 소음, 진동, 토크리플 등으로 인해 SRM의 안정화 운전에 장애가 되는 단점이 있다. 이를 제거하기 위한 방법으로는 외부회로에 제어기를 도입하여 전류파형을 조절하는 방법이 있으나 이 경우 고가의 복잡한 정밀제어기를 부착해야한다. 본 연구에서는 회전자의 형상을 조절하여 Cogging Torque를 감소시키는 방법을 연구한다. 이를 위하여 유한요소법을 이용하여 설계변수의 민감도를 계산하고 최적화 기법을 사용하여 형상변경 실시를 반복하여 최적설계를 하고자 한다.
