Parameter design is an approach to reducing performance variation of quality characteristic value in products and processes. Taguchi has used the signal-to-noise ratio to achieve the appropriate set of operating conditions where variability around target is low in the Taguchi parameter design. However, there are difficulties in practical application, such as complexity and nonlinear relationships among quality characteristics and control factors (design factors), and interactions occurred among control factors. Neural networks have a learning capability and model free characteristics. There characteristics support neural networks as a competitive tool in processing multivariable input-output implementation. In this paper we propose a substantially simpler optimization procedure for parameter design using neural network. An example is illustrated to compare the difference between the Taguchi method and neural network method.

본 연구에서는 국외 커튼월 내화 Code인 EN 13830, EN 13501-1, EN 1364-3을 사용하여 알루미늄과 스틸프레임에 대해 화재시 최적설계조건 도출을 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 현재 국내 커튼월의 내화 법규는 2008년 '내화 충전구조 세부 운영지침'에서 조인트 부분에 대해서만 내화규정이 정립되어 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 EN 13830과 그 하위법을 이용하여 알루미늄과 스틸 커튼월의 최적설계조건 도출을 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 실험 결과 차염성은 알루미늄 커튼월과 스틸 커튼월의 성능시간이 각각 10분 26분으로 약 16분의 차이가 발생하였고, 차열성은 알루미늄 커튼월과 스틸 커튼월이 최고온도에서 6분과 9분으로 약 3분정도의 차이를 보였고 평균온도에서는 9분, 24분으로 약 15분의 차이를 보였다. 그리고 복사열은 성능기준 $15Kw/m^2$를 통과하는데 알루미늄 커튼월은 16분 스틸 커튼월은 24분을 기록하였다.

고유진동수와 감쇠비는 지진이나 바람과 같은 동적 횡하중에 대해 구조물의 응답을 결정하는 주요한 특성이다. 본 연구는 지진하중에 대하여 목표응답 수준을 만족하는 구조물의 고유진동수와 감쇠비를 지정하고, 이 값을 실현하는 점탄성 감쇠기 파라미터의 처적분포를 구하는 설계방법을 제안한다. 여기서 지정할 고유진동수와 감쇠비는 목표응답 수준을 만족하는 여러 조합 중 설계조건과 원래 건물의 특성에 따라 결정될 수 있다. 제안한 설계방법은 점탄성 감쇠기의 감성 파라미터를 고유값의 기울기 정보를 바탕으로 분포시키므로 최적 위치와 크기에 대한 정보를 동시에 제공한다. 예제로서 평면 10층 전단 건물을 대상으로 최적설계를 수행하여 지정된 고유값을 실현하는 파라미터의 최적분포를 구하고 이를 통해 제안한 최적 설계의 특성을 확인하였다. 또한 더 나아가 3차원 일방향 비대칭 전단전물에 제안된 최적설계를 수행하여 그에 대한 적용가능성을 확인하였다.

Using the genetic algorithm, the optimal-design technique of the Nielsen arch bridge was proposed in this paper. The design parameters were the arch-rise ratio and the steel weight ratio of the Nielsen arch bridge, and optimal-design techniques were utilized to analyze the behavior of the bridge. The optimal parameter values were determined for the estimated optimal level. The parameter determination requires the standardization of the safety, utility, and economic concepts as the critical factors of a structure. For this, a genetic algorithm was used, whose global-optimal-solution search ability is superior to the optimization technique, and whose object function in the optimal design is the total weight of the structure. The constraints for the optimization were displacement, internal stress, and time and space. The structural analysis was a combination of the small displacement theory and the genetic algorithm, and the runtime was reduced for parallel processing. The optimal-design technique that was developed in this study was employed and deduced using the optimal arch-rise ratio, steel weight ratio, and optimal-design domain. The optimal-design technique was presented so it could be applied in the industry.

In this paper, the optimal design of trusses using advanced analysis and genetic algorithm is performed. An advanced analysis takes into account geometric nonlinearity and material nonlinearity. The micro genetic algorithm is used as optimization technique. The weight of structures is treated as the objective function. The constraint functions are defined by load-carrying capacities and displacement requirement. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparing the results of the proposed method with those of other method.

현재까지 실험을 설계하는 방법은 설계자에 의해서 시행착오(trial and error) 방식으로 하는 것이 대부분 이였으나 이 방법은 경험상으로 알고 있으며, 유효하다고 생각되는 조건하에서 여러 가지 경우의 것을 시뮬레이션 해보고 그 중에 가장 타당하다고 생각되는 것으로 결정하게 된다. 이들은 다소 경험적인 것이라 할 수 있다. 하지만 실험계획법(Design of Experiments)은 특성에 영향을 미치는 여러 가지 인자를 선정하기 위해, 또 이들의 관계를 알아보기 위한 실험을 실시하여 제품의 최적 제조조건을 경제적으로 찾아내는 기법이다. 본 연구에서는 실험계획법을 사용하여 유량을 최적화하는 요인을 선정, 얻어진 데이터를 통계적 방법으로 분석하여 최적의 조건을 나타내었다.

Many researchers have studied on the optimal seismic design with the development of the computer. So far the application structure of most researches on the optimal seismic design was almost the moment resisting frame. Because the braced frames are the representative lateral load resisting system with the moment resisting frames, it is estimated that the effect on the practice will be great if it can is provided a design guideline through the development of optimal seismic design model for the braced frames. The purpose of this study is to propose the optimal seismic design model for the inverted V-type special concentrically braced frames considering the buckling of braces. The objective functions of this are to minimize the structural weight and maximize the total dissipated energy of the structure and the constraints of this are the strength conditions for the column, beam, brace and inter-story drifts condition. To verify the proposed model, it is applied to 2D steel concentrically braced frames of 3-story and 9-story.

This paper proposes a new topology optimization scheme to determine optimized joints for multi-component models. The joints are modeled as zero-length high-stiffness spring elements. The spring joints are considered as mesh-independent springs based on a joint-element interpolation scheme. This enables the changing of the location of the joints regardless of the connected nodes during optimization. Because the joints are movable, the locations of the optimized joints should be aggregated at several points. In this paper, the novel joint dispersal (JD) constraint to prevent joint clustering is proposed. With the joint dispersal constraint, it is possible to determine the optimized joint location as well as optimized topologies while maintaining the minimum distance between each joint. The mechanical compliance value is considered as the objective function. Several topology optimization examples are solved to demonstrate the effect of the joint dispersal constraint.

This paper introduces an effective methodology for reliability-based design optimization of electromagnetic products, where a performance measure approach is adopted to accurately assess probabilistic constrains. Two design problems consisting of a loudspeaker and a superconducting magnetic energy storage system are considered. The efficiency of the proposed method in evaluating the failure probability of performances during the optimization process are compared with the existing method based on the reliability index approach. Moreover, in term of the accuracy of probability failure values, optimized design results are examined with reference values obtained from the Monte Carlo simulation.

The heights of the towers of a ropeway are theoretically derived and the result is experimentally verified. The accuracy in the equation of deflection angle obtained by applying the characteristics of catenary curve was confirmed through experiment. By applying these equations the optimal values of the tower heights could be obtained because the deflection angles trade off each other. The deflection angle was measured by using the curve fitting technique.
