칼만 필터는 피드백 제어의 형태를 사용하는 플랜트를 추정한다. 플랜트의 잡음이나 측정 외란이 발생하더라도 상태를 추정하여 최적의 제어를 행한다. 상태를 추정하기 위하여 칼만 필터의 이득 Kk를 저절하고, 이 이득은 칼만 필터의 파라메터인 측정 오차 공분산 Rk과 프로세서 잡음 오차 공분산 Qk를 조정함으로써 뛰어난 필터 수행을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 필터 파라메터 Rk, Qk는 필터 연산 이전에 측정되어야 하지만, 현재는 전문가가 전문적인 지식을 바탕으로 파라메터를 조정하여 시스템을 제어하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 비효율적인 작업을 퍼지 논리 제어기를 이용하여 온-라인에서 최적의 파라메터 Rk를 구하고자 한다.

CAE-based structural optimization techniques are applied for the design of a lightweight crane. The boom of the crane is designed by shape optimization with the shape of the cross section of the boom as the design variable. The design objective is mass minimization, and the static strength and dynamic stiffness of the system are set as the design constraints. Hyperworks, a commercial analysis and optimization software, is used for shape and topology optimization. In order to consistently change the shape of the elements of the boom with respect to the change in the shape of its cross section, the morphing function in Hyperworks is used. The support of the boom of the original model is simplified to model the design domain for topology optimization, which is discretized by using three-dimensional solid elements. The final result after shape and topology optimization is 19% and 17% reduction in the masses of the boom and support, respectively, without a deterioration in the system stiffness.

This paper presents the vibration characteristics and the optimization using the orthogonal array about applied composite optical structure of an aircraft. To acquire the vibration characteristics for stable line of sight, modal analysis are performed by using multi-body program ADAMS. And to optimize optical structure, for design variables were selected, larger-the-better characteristics were considered using results of S/N ratio and orthogonal array $L_9(3^4)$. When bearing constraints are selected, radial, axial and moment stiffness value are used to analysis for optimization until now. But B.S.R which is non-dimensional parameter is proposed, structures including bearings can be used for optimization. And then having a result of lager-the-better, the optimized values of each design variable were successfully suggested.

Two-row Overlap Pile wall is a novel retaining wall system with high flexural rigidity and waterproofing for deep excavation support currently being developed in Korea. The Two-row Overlap Pile wall is constructed by making an overlap between consecutive four-axis (or two-axis) auger piles which themselves are overlapped and arranged in zigzag manner. In this study, the flexural rigidity of the Two-row Overlap Pile wall, including the effect of cross-sectional shape, was examined using both theoretical and numerical approaches. The results of investigation suggested that the Two-row Overlap Pile wall formed with two-row piles exhibit greatly higher flexural rigidity than conventional one-row pile walls such as Cast in place pile (CIP) and Secant pile wall (SPW), whereas the effect of overlap length between piles on the flexural rigidity is relatively minimal.

In this stury, control performance of tuned mass damper (TMD) with torsional rigidity for an eccentric structure showing torsional responses is investigated. To this end, an eccentric structure subjected to earthquake excitation is used to evaluate the control performance of torsional TMD by varying installed location and torsional rigidity of TMD, To reduce computational time required for repetitive time history analysis of an example structure having non-proportional damping system due to TMD, an equivalent analytical model is used in this study. Torsional properties of TMD usually neglected in typical TMD are verified to be effective in reduction of torsional responses of the eccentric structure. In the case of eccentric structures, it has been seen that the center of a plane of a structure may not be optimal location of TMD.

In fracture treatment with external fixators, the inter-fragmentary movements at the fracture site affect the fracture healing process, and these movements are highly related to the stiffness of external fixation systems. Therefore, in order to provide the optimal fracture healing at the fracture site, it is essential to understand the relationship between the stiffness and the system configurations in external fixation system. In this study we investigated the influences of system configuration parameters on the stiffness in the finite element analysis of an external fixation system of a long bone. The system alignment, the geometric and the material non-linearity of the pin, the joint stiffness and the callus formation were considered in the finite element model. In the first, the system stiffness of the developed finite element model was compared with the experiment data for model validation. The consideration of the joint stiffness and nonlinearity of the model improved the system stiffness results. The joint stiffness, the non-alignment of the system decreased the system stiffness while the callus formation increased the system stiffness. The present results provided the biomechanical basis of rational guidelines for design improvements of external fixators and pre-op. planning to maximize the system stiffness in fracture surgery.

Energy dissipation capacity and earthquake responses of steel structures installed with unbonded braces(UB) were investigated. Parametric studies were performed for a single-degree-of-freedom structure under harmonic loads, and optimum yield strength of unbonded braces were derived. Nonlinear dynamic time history analyses were carried out to investigate the seismic response of multi-story model structures with UB having various size and strength. Various techniques were applied to determine proper story-wise distribution of UB in multi-story structures. The analysis results show that the maximum displacements of structures generally decrease as the stiffness of UB increases. However for some natural frequencies and seismic loads the maximum displacement and accumulated damage increases as the stiffness of UB increases.

In this paper, a synchronous reverse link DS-CDMA system with cdma2000 standard is simulated to analyze performance of system and to find the optimum power ratio between pilot channel and traffic channel. In the cdma2000 the pilot channel is used to estimate fading channel, in contract to IS-95 and it compensates phase variation of received signal due to channel environment. When the length of channel estimation is 31pcg symbols, we can find the optimum power ratio of pilot channel to traffic channel. And also we find Eb/No satisfying target FER when the power control is applied and analyze performance of system with multiuser transmission.

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.
