Experience and experiments show that in many cases the buckling limit is reached at a much smaller load level than is predicted by linear buckling analysis. In this paper, it is considered linear and nonlinear of plane vehicle structure and estimates design sensitivity of the cross sectional area that is composed plane vehicle structure and performs optimal design. It compares linear vehicle structure with nonlinear vehicle structure for optima design result that is selected constraint condition of buckling load.

계통의 최적 조류 계산(Optimal Power Flow)을 수행한 후, 계통 전체의 ATC(Available Transfer Capability)를 구한다. 이때 계통 전체의 ATC는 어느 특정한 선로의 ATC 값으로 결정되는데, 이 선로의 전력 조류량을 조금만 줄여도 전체 계통의 ATC가 크게 증가하게 되는 경우가 많다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 계통 전체의 ATC 증대를 위하여, ATC를 제한하게 되는 관심 선로의 조류에 각각의 발전기가 미치는 민감도와 각각의 발전기의 발전비용 함수를 동시에 고려한 최적의 발전력 재분배를 통하여 발전비용의 증가와 관심 선로의 전력 조류감소 효과의 최적화를 위하여 Liner Programing 기법을 이용한다.

The conventional optimization study for electromagnetic systems has been mostly on the shape or size optimization. The goal for these optimization methods is to improve performance of electromagnetic systems by optimizing the interface shape of two different materials while their given layout or initial topology are held. The feasible topology can be diverse and an appropriate topology will give much better design results. In this paper we propose a theory and an algorithm for topology optimization of electromagnetic systems, which are based on the finite element method. The topology optimization technique employes a direct searching method of sensitivity analysis in which the information of material sensitivity is used. Two numerical examples of a switched reluctance motor and an electrostatic actuator of MEMS are tested and their design results show that the optimization method is valid and useful for the topology and basic layout design of electromagnetic systems.

Optimum sensitivity analysis (OSA) is the process to find the sensitivity of optimum solution with respect to the parameter in the optimization problem. The prevalent OSA methods calculate the optimum sensitivity as a post-processing. In this research, a simple technique is proposed to obtain optimum sensitivity as a result of the original optimization problem, provided that the optimum sensitivity of objective function is required. The parameters are considered as additional design variables in the original optimization problem. And then, it is endowed with equality constraints to penalize the additional variables. When the optimization problem is solved, the optimum sensitivity of objective function is simultaneously obtained as Lagrange multiplier. Several mathematical and engineering examples are solved to show the applicability and efficiency of the method compared to other OSA ones.

This study was to identify HCl design factors for increasing information processing and attention for mentally retarded children. Several factors such as size, location, moving distance were varied for three experiments operated by the amount of information. The results showed that the larger size of target, the greater moving distance of target, and the less amount of information increased mentally retarded children's sensitivity. Also, when the target was displayed at upper left of computer screen, sensitivity of mentally retarded children was high, compared other locations of screen.

RNA는 세포내에서 유전자 발현에 직, 간접적으로 중요한 역할을 하며, RNA 구조는 세포 내에서의 기능과 깊은 연관이 있기 때문에 RNA 구조를 예측하는 것은 중요한 의미를 갖는다, 본 논문에서는 진화연산의 한가지인 유전자 프로그래밍(genetic programming) 방법을 사용하여 염기서열 정보를 참고하는 RNA 구조 문법의 학습 방법을 보여 준다. 이 RNA 구조를 의미하는 문법을 트리(tree)형태의 함수로 코드화(encoding) 한 후 이것을 유전자 프로그래밍 방법으로 진화시킨다. 진화를 통해 최적의 적합도를 갖는 트리의 문법을 테스트 데이터를 통해 평가한 결과 0.893의 특이도(speicificity)와 0.752의 민감도(sensitivity)를 보였다.

An optimum design algorithm of PSC box girder bridges using design sensitivity analysis is proposed in this paper. For the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, approximated reanalysis techniques using design sensitivity analysis are introduced. And also to save the numerical efforts, an efficient reanalysis technique through approximated structural responses is proposed. A design sensitivity analysis of structural response is executed by automatic differentiation(AD). The efficiency and robustness of the proposed algorithm, compared with conventional algorithm, is successfully demonstrated in the numerical example.

In this paper, we verify the optimal topology design for heat conduction problems in steady stated which is obtained numerically using the adjoint design sensitivity analysis(DSA) method. In adjoint variable method(AVM), the already factorized system matrix is utilized to obtain the adjoint solution so that its computation cost is trivial for the sensitivity. For the topology optimization, the design variables are parameterized into normalized bulk material densities. The objective function and constraint are the thermal compliance of the structure and the allowable volume, respectively. For the experimental validation of the optimal topology design, we compare the results with those that have identical volume but designed intuitively using a thermal imaging camera. To manufacture the optimal design, we apply a simple numerical method to convert it into point cloud data and perform CAD modeling using commercial reverse engineering software. Based on the CAD model, we manufacture the optimal topology design by CNC.

This paper presents the effects of indirect costs on Life-Cycle-Cost(LCC) effective optimum design of steel-box girder bridges. The LCC formulations considered in the LCC optimization of the bridges consist of initial cost and expected rehabilitation costs including repair/replacement costs, loss of contents or fatality and injury losses, and indirect costs such as road user costs and indirect socio-economic losses. To demonstrate the LCC-effectiveness for optimum design of the bridges, an actual steel box girder bridge having two continuous spans(2@50m=100m) is considered as a numerical example. And also, in this paper, various sensitivity analyses are performed to investigate the effects of indirect costs caused by traffic conditions such as number of detour route, number of lane on detour route, length of detour route, and traffic volumes on the LCC-effective optimum design. From the numerical investigations, it may be concluded that indirect costs caused by traffic network may sensitively influence on the LCC-effective optimum design of steel-box girder bridges. Therefore, it may be stated that the traffic conditions should be considered as one of the important items in the LCC-effective optimum design of the bridges.
