This paper studies the Element Connectivity Parameterization Method(ECP method) for topology optimization considering dynamic compliance. The previous element density based topology optimization method interpolates Young's modulus with respect to design variables defined in each element for topology optimization. Despite its various applications, these element density based methods suffer from numerical instabilities for nonlinear structure and multiphysics systems. To resolve these instabilities, recently a new numerical method called the Element Connectivity Parameterization(ECP) Method was proposed. Unlike the existing design methods, the ECP method optimizes the connectivities among plane or solid elements and it shows some advantages in topology optimization for both nonlinear structure and multiphysics systems. In this study, the method was expanded for topology optimization for the dynamic compliance by developing a way to model the mass matrix in the framework of the ECP method.

The missile control system is comprised of various control systems such as autopilot, guidance law, and homing filter and so on. To design these guidance and control system, the optimization technique is widely applied at each developing stage. However, this kind of optimization requires lots of time and cost and moreover, this approach does not give an overall system optimization result. In this paper, to use the optimization tool for control system design, the optimal problem formulation is done and the performance index and constraints are considered. And finally the systematically optimized method is proposed.

전통적으로 스캔 설계 법칙 검사는 게이트 레벨에서 수행되었다. 그러나 RTL 설계와 합성 도구의 사용이 일반화되면서 게이트 레벨 회로의 검사는 합성 단계에서의 최적화와 스캔 설계 법칙 위배를 정정한 후의 최적화가 필요하여 많은 시간이 소요된다. RTL에서의 스캔 설계 법칙 검사는 이러한 문제를 해결할 수 있으며, 이것이 본 논문의 주제이다. 본 논문에서는 스캔 설계 법칙의 위배를 RTL 설계에서 검사할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 효과적인 설계 과정에 의해 설계 시간 을 단축할 수 있을 것이다.

MDO framework, which provides multidisciplinary system design and optimization environment, requires integration of the analyses codes developed at various computer languages and operating systems, integration of CAD and DBMS, and development of complex GUI. Emphases must be given to the software modification and upgrades in conjunction with the analysis code addition and MDO method implementation. In this study, techniques about system integration and analysis code interface have been studied extensively, and the database design and communication methods which can handle the MDO methods like MDF and CO have been studied. Using the dedicated MDO framework developed for the air vehicle design, the multidisciplinary fighter aircraft wing design has been performed to demonstrate the efficiency and usefulness of the software. Optimum wing configuration is derived using the gradient-based optimization methods within thirty design iterations.

In this paper, genetic algorithm (GA)-based Thin Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) RF filter design technique is proposed. Since the BVD(Butterworth-Van Dyke) lumped element model is valid only around the resonance, FBAR filter design technique based on BVD circuit has an approximate error. Instead of using BVD model, optimizing filter design method utilizes an analytical electrical impedance equation of FBAR. The geometry of FBAR such as thickness of the piezoelectric layer and area which significantly affect the filter response is optimized by GA. US-PCS Rx Bandpass filter obtained by the proposed technique shows a better response comparing with the typical and BVD-based filter.

안전한 수질의 용수를 안정적으로 공급하기 위해 대단위 농업단지를 중심으로 농업용 관수로 건설이 고려되고 있는 환경에서 보다 경제적으로 관수로를 건설하기 위한 연구가 수행되었다. 관수로의 최적 관경설계는 전통적으로 비선형성을 고려하여야 하므로 수리학적 해석모형과 추계학적 탐색기법을 이용한 연구가 수행되었다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 비선형성을 가진 최적 관경시스템의 선형화를 시도한 후, 농지이용에 따른 대표작물에 대한 설계용수량을 사용한 농업용 관수로 관경 최적화를 시도하였다. 제안된 모형을 이용하여 농지의 크기, 작물의 형태, 동수경사선의 기울기에 따라 적합한 관경을 산정하였으며, 그 결과를 이용한 설계 표준화를 시도하였다. 표준화된 설계지침을 이용하면 향후 보다 편리하게 농업용 관수로를 설계할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 실제 관수로에의 적용성을 입증하기 위해 실제 건설되는 농업단지의 설계에 제안된 모형을 이용하고, 시행착오법으로 산정된 결과와 비교하여 그 경제성을 입증하였다.

A Practical and easily applicable methods for the numerical analysis and the optimum design of continuous and horizontally curved two-way slab systems with twelve possible edge conditions are presented. The proposed method for the numerical structural analysis is based on the use of design moment coefficients which are derived from the elastic theory of thin curved plates. The optimum values are selected from within the feasible region in the design space defined by the limit state requirements. The sequential linear programming is introduced as an analytical method of nonlinear optimization. The optimum design variables, including a effective depth and transformed steel ratios per unit width of middle and column strips of slabs, are then determined.

In this paper, the nozzle design with asymmetric configuration using the optimal method is used in order to improve the under- and over-expansion problem of the flow at the supersonic turbine nozzle. For the design of nozzle contour, 8 design variables are selected and the total-to-static efficiency from the nozzle inlet to the wake outlet is considered as the objective function to be maximized. The Fluent6.3 and the iSIGHT-FD program are used for calculation of nozzle flow and design optimization respectively. RBF(Radial Basis Function) method is chosen for approximate optimization algorithm. It is shown that the static efficiency of improved nozzle design increases 1.35% and loss coefficient decreases 19.85% as compared to baseline design.
