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 USNRC issued a revised ECCS rule that allows the use of best estimate computer codes for safety analysis. The rule also requires an estimation of uncertainty in calculated system response when applying the best estimate computer codes. A practical realistic evaluation methodology to evaluate the ECCS performance that satisfies the requirements of the ECCS rule has been developed and this paper describes the application of new realistic evaluation methodology to large break LOCA for, the demonstration of the new methodology. The computer code RELAP5/MOD3/KAERI, which was improved from RELAP5/MOD3.1, was used as the best estimate code in the application. The uncertainty of the code was evaluated by assessing several separate and integral effect tests, and for the application to actual plant Kori 3 & 4 was selected as the reference plant. Response surfaces for blowdown and reflood PCTs were generated from the results of the sensitivity analyses and probability distribution functions were established by random sampling or Monte-Carlo method for each response surface. Final uncertainties were quantified at 95% probability level and safety margins for large break LOCA were discussed.

This study presents a reliability-based optimum design of reinforced concrete frames, in which the AFOSM and SOSM methods are applied for the evaluation of the failure probabilities, and the sequential linear programming method is used as a practical approach to the system optimization. One-story two-bay reinforced concrete frame is chosen for the numerical illustration of the proposed reliability-based optimum design. As a result, it is found that the proposed procedure for the reliability-based optimization of RC frames could provide the accurate estimation of the optimal level of safety, and appears applicable to real structures with reasonable complexity. It is shown in the paper that the probability distributions of the basic random variables and the uncertainties of the applied loadings and material strengths may have great effect on the optimum design, but the AFOSM and SOSM methods do not show significant discrepancy in the optimum design results, but the former appears more realistic and time saving than the latter for this specific study.

The purpose of this study is to improve the accuracy of the urban runoff and drainage network analysis by using the observed water level in the drainage network. To do this, sensitivity analysis for major parameters of SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) was performed and parameters were calibrated. The sensitivity of the parameters was the order of the roughness of the conduit, the roughness of the impervious area, the width of the watershed, and the roughness of the pervious area. Six types of scenarios were set up according to the number and types of parameter considering four parameters with high sensitivity. These scenarios were applied to the Seocho-3/4/5, Yeoksam, and Nonhyun drainage basins, where the serious flood damage occurred due to the heavy rain on 21 July, 2013. Parameter optimization analysis based on PEST (Parameter ESTimation) model for each scenario was performed by comparing observed water level in the conduits. By analyzing the accuracy of each scenario, more improved simulation results could be obtained, that is, the maximum RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) could be reduced by 2.41cm and the maximum peak error by 13.7%. The results of this study will be helpful to analyze volume of the manhole surcharge and forecast the inundation area more accurately.

In this study, structural optimum design was applied to the girder of magnet over head crane. The optimization was carried out using ANSYS Code for the deadweight of girder, especially focused on the thickness of its upper, lower, side and reinforced plates. The weight could be reduced up to around 15% with constraints of its deformation, stress, natural frequency and buckling strength. The structural safety was also verified by the buckling analysis of its panel structure. It might be thought to be very useful to design the conventional structures for the weight save through the structural optimization. The objective function and restricted function were estimated by the orthogonal array, and the sensitivity analysis of design variable fur that was operated.

In this paper, an analysis technique is presented for performing the effective design of bus structure. Sensitivity analysis is carried out for the natural frequency of component structures consisting of bus B.I.W. Local vibration modes of substructure, which large affect on the global vibration mode of the bus B.I.W., are obtained through the sensitivity analysis technique using the mathematical chain rule. And also the design variables, which are determined from the sensitivity analysis, are redesigned through optimum design process. The proposed analysis technique shows that the bus structure can be effectively designed considering the vibration characteristics.

마이크로 스트립 선로는 제작상의 편의성으로 인해 많은 형태의 초고주파 회로에 다양한 구조로 적용된다. 하지만 실제 설계과정에서 다양한 형상에 따른 전자기적 해석이 쉽지 않고, 구조상의 불연속성은 시스템의 성능을 감쇄 시키는 원인이 된다. 본 논문은 마이크로 스트립 라인의 전자파 특성을 해석하고, 이로 인해 최적의 형상을 찾는 방법을 제시한다. 이 최적화 방법으로 유한 차분법 설계민감도 해석 방법을 도입하여 형상을 변화 시키며, 전자파 해석 툴을 이용하여 해석된 결과를 바탕으로 설계민감도를 계산하고 수정하므로 형상 최적화를 이룬다.
