To develope the best optimized hull form, it has been generalized to evaluate the preliminary hull forms with the CFD tools in the initial stage of development and for this process it is needed to prepare various competent hull forms with high degree of fairness. In this paper, a modified shape variation method was developed to maintain the shape and fairness of parent hull form and the automatic update procedure was implemented on the basis of the association concept. It was shown that the hull form of the high quality in fairness and shape inherited from the parent hull form can be archived.

Hull design data is currently prepared by a 2D CAD system and re-input to 3D CAD systems specialized for detail design or to a structural analysis system. In this paper, sharing design data among different CAD systems has been studied. Based on STEP methodology, a neutral model is generated from 2D AutoCAD drawings. To handle a geometric data of this model, the non-manifold model of ACIS is used because it can support various CAD data representation such as 2D graphic entities, 3D wireframe, 3D surface model, and solid B-Rep/CSG model. It is observed that a mon-manifold model can easily be transformed to a 3-D wireframe model for the hull detail design system AutoDef or a FE model for the structural analysis system Nastran.

제품 개발 초기 단계에서 제품의 개념을 신속하게 구체화하여 제품의 기능, 구성, 부품 간 관계, 치수 및 간단한 형상들을 정의한 후, 검증(해석 및 실험)을 통해 가장 최적화된 설계 결과를 얻는다. 그러나 이 과정에서 일반적으로 설계 정보를 바탕으로 해석을 수행하기 위한 모델을 새롭게 생성해야 하는 문제가 있다. 또한 설계 변경이 발생하는 경우에는 도면을 다시 작성하고 해석 모델이 재생성 및 부품 생성을 위하여 데이터 입력을 다시 해야 한다. 이러한 문제는 선박의 초기 설계 및 해석 분야에서도 발견할 수 있다.(중략)

In this paper, the CAD data for the optimal shape design obtained by isogeometric shape optimization is directly used to fabricate the specimen by using 3D printer for the experimental validation. In a conventional finite element method, the geometric approximation inherent in the mesh leads to the accuracy issue in response analysis and design sensitivity analysis. Furthermore, in the finite element based shape optimization, subsequent communication with CAD description is required in the design optimization process, which results in the loss of optimal design information during the communication. Isogeometric analysis method employs the same NURBS basis functions and control points used in CAD systems, which enables to use exact geometrical properties like normal vector and curvature information in the response analysis and design sensitivity analysis procedure. Also, it vastly simplify the design modification of complex geometries without communicating with the CAD description of geometry during design optimization process. Therefore, the information of optimal design and material volume is exactly reflected to fabricate the specimen for experimental validation. Through the design optimization examples of elasticity problem, it is experimentally shown that the optimal design has higher stiffness than the initial design. Also, the experimental results match very well with the numerical results. Using a non-contact optical 3D deformation measuring system for strain distribution, it is shown that the stress concentration is significantly alleviated in the optimal design compared with the initial design.

The objective of this study is the development of sizing and system shape discrete optime design algorithm which is based on the genetic algorithms (GAs). The algorithm can perform both size and shape optimum designs of space trusses. The developed algorithm was implemented in a computer program. The algorithm is known to be very efficient for the discrete optimization The genetic process selects the next design points based on the survivability of the current design points The evolutionary process evaluates the survivability of the design points selected from the genetic process in the genetic process of the simple genetic algorithms there are three basic operators : reproduction cross-over and mutation operators. The efficiency and validity of the developed discrete optimum design algorithm was verified by applying the algorithm to optimum design examples.

Multistage deep-drawing technology is used widely in the production of mobile phone battery cases to improve productivity and economy. To ensure adequate capacity and rigidity, such cases are fabricated as a rectangular cup with a high slender ratio. The multistage deep-drawing of a rectangular cup entails a high slender ratio, and the heights of the product sides may be non-uniform because of the complicated deformation mechanisms. This causes problems in product assembly that affects the surface quality of the case. This study examined a blank shape that minimizes the height variations of the product to resolve the aforementioned problems. Optimization design and analysis were performed to identify the shape that yields the least variation. The long and short sides of an oval blank were set as the design variables. The objective function was set to yield the lowest height difference, and the thickness reduction rate of the product was set to the target range. In addition, the height of the final shape was set as a constraint. The height difference was minimized successfully using the optimized design. The design process of the initial blank for all rectangular shapes can be automated in the future.

In the early stage of helicopter design, an optimal configuration is usually determined after a numerous parametric study about the aerodynamic performance due to geometric variation. In order to improve the aerodynamic performance of a shrouded tail rotor, optimization of the tip clearance gap between blade and shroud, the blade planform shape, and the arrangement of blade spacing is required. In the present study, the aerodynamic performance characteristics of a shrouded tail rotor due to geometric variation was investigated by using an inviscid compressible unstructured mesh flow solver for rotary wings.

본 고에서는 막구조의 설계, 시공, 유지관리에 대해 개략적으로 기술하였다. 막구조는 그 여러가지 특성이 아직 규명이 안된 부분이 많고 시공오차가 비교적 큰 편이므로 막 재료의 역학적, 재료적 특성에 대한 연구와 형상해석 모델의 공식화, 막재단의 컴퓨터화가 필요하며 초기장력 도입에 따른 시공과정의 해석이 더욱 필요하다. 따라서 설계, 형상해석, 재단에서 시공 및 유지관리에 이르는 일괄적인 System의 개발이 시급하다 하겠다.

Finite element analysis is performed to evaluate stress and deformation of a wrinkle-type dust cover for the ball joints of tie rods of automotive steering system. Results of the analysis for assembly and operation condition show that sealing capability is good and the maximum stress on the body is smaller than the tensile strength. An optimal shape of the dust cover is obtained using the Taguchi method to reduce the maximum stress. The maximum stress of the optimal design under the operation condition is reduced by 22 per cent of that of the initial design. Results of the research show that performance evaluation and design of the dust covers can be effectively done using the proposed method.
