This paper deals with a precoder design method when the system has imperfect channel information. When MIMO relay system knows the correlation coefficient between perfect channel and imperfect channel information and the variance of the difference between perfect channel and correlated imperfect channel, source and relay precoders are designed to maximize the upper bound of the channel capacity. Also, we investigate channel capacities of the system using proposed precoder and compare with the optimal value according to the correlation and the variance of error channel by simulations.

In this paper, we describe a process for optimally designing a ring-type permanent magnet thrust bearing. The bearing consists of two sets of permanent magnet rings. One set is located inside the other set. An axial offset between the two sets creates axial force, which results in a thrust bearing function. In order to realize an optimal design of the bearing where the required load capacity of the bearing is achieved with the least magnet volume, we derived analytical design equations by adopting the equivalent current sheet (ECS) method. We considered the following two types of magnet arrays: axial arrays and Halbach arrays. These two types of arrays are optimized using the analytical design equations. The results of the optimization are verified using three dimensional (3D) finite element analyses (FEA). The results show that the Halbach array can achieve the required load capacity with less amount of permanent magnet than the axial array does. The efficacy of the ECS method is also verified by using 3D FEA. It is found that the accuracy of ECS method is more sensitive to the underlying assumptions for the Halbach array than for the axial array.

Using the finite element method and Taguchi's design technique, the displacement in vertical direction, von Mises stress, and strain energy of the corrugation damper have been analyzed as functions of the extruded length and the thickness of the corrugation damper, and the upper and lower corner radii of the damper. The optimized profile design elements of a corrugation damper are very important for increasing a strain energy absorption capacity of a helmet structure, which is attacked by impulsive external forces. In this study, the optimized design data based on the Taguchi's method was computed as a corrugation damper length of L = 20 mm, a damper thickness of t = 2 mm, the upper corner radius of $R_1=4\;mm$, and the lower corner radius of $R_2=3\;mm$. The optimized design parameters of a corrugation damper indicated that the thickness and extruded length of a corrugation damper may affect to increase the strain energy, which absorbs the impact forces of the helmet.

상수관망을 통한 용수 공급에서는 송수펌프, 배수지 등의 수리 시설물이 중요한 역할을 수행한다. 우리나라의 송 배수 방식은 송수펌프를 통해 고지대의 배수지에 물을 확보하고, 이를 자연유하 방식으로 공급하는 것이 일반적이며, 따라서 송 배수시스템의 운영이란 송수펌프의 가동과 그에 따른 배수지의 수위 현황을 관리하는 것을 의미한다. 이 때, 펌프의 가동을 위한 전력소모에 많은 비용이 발생되므로 효율적인 펌프 운영을 위한 최적화 연구의 필요성이 제기되었다. 기존 연구를 통해 송 배수시스템의 운영을 모의하고, 펌프 가동비용을 최소화 하는 실시간 최적 펌프운영 모형이 개발되었으나, 미리 결정된 펌프와 배수지를 바탕으로 송 배수시스템을 모의하기 때문에 계획 및 설계 단계에서 이를 활용할 수 없는 한계점이 존재하였다. 본 연구에서는 최적화 알고리즘 중 하나인 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm, GA)을 사용하여, 실시간 펌프운영뿐만 아니라 송수펌프와 배수지의 효율적인 용량을 제시할 수 있는 최적화 모형을 개발하였다. 특히, 개발 모형은 펌프와 배수지의 설계/운영 시, 국내 설계기준, 시설물 비용, 시간별 전력단가 등을 제약조건으로 고려하여 현실적인 결과를 도출할 수 있도록 개발되었다. 본 연구는 실제 운영 중인 S시의 광역상수도 시스템을 바탕으로 개발 모형을 적용하였으며, 또한 송 배수시스템의 계획 및 관리에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

상수관망시스템은 정수장으로부터 각 수요처에 음용수를 공급하기 위한 사회기반시설물이며, 광범위한 지역에 걸쳐 주로 지하에 시설물이 매설되어 있다. 상수관망시스템을 설계하고 운영함에 있어 노후화로 인한 유수율 저하, 갑작스런 수요량의 증가, 관로 파손 등 비정상상황에의 용수공급을 항상 대비하여야 하며, 이를 통한 지속적인 관리와 개량이 필요하다. 상수관망시스템에서 발생할 수 있는 다양한 비정상상황들 중 상수관망시스템 내 관로가 파손될 경우, 파손 관로의 보수 혹은 교체를 위해서는 해당 관로의 용수흐름을 일시적으로 차단할 필요가 있다. 이 과정에서 파손관로와 인접한 밸브를 차폐하게 되며, 이로 인해 용수공급이 중단되는 단수구역이 발생하게 된다. 단수구역은 파손 관로를 차폐함으로써 파손 관로와 함께 용수공급이 차단되는 직접고립지역과 직접고립지역으로 인해 의도치 않게 수원으로부터 물 공급이 차단되는 간접고립지역으로 구분할 수 있다. 따라서, 관 파손에 의한 단수용량을 정확히 산정하기 위해서는 시스템 내 설치된 밸브의 개수와 위치에 따른 직, 간접고립지역(단수구역)을 정확하게 산정할 필요가 있다. Jun and Loganathan(2007)은 단수구역을 직접고립지역과 간접고립지역으로 구분하여 정의하고 각각을 탐색하는 알고리즘을 제시한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 연구에서 제시한 간접고립지역 탐색 방법의 문제점을 파악하고, 이를 개선한 새로운 알고리즘을 제안 및 검증하였다. 또한, 개선된 알고리즘을 이용하여 상수관망시스템 내 최적 밸브위치를 결정하기 위해 단수용량과 밸브설치비용을 동시에 최소화하는 다목적 최적화 모형을 개발하였으며, 예시 관망을 이용하여 모의를 수행하고 결과를 분석하였다.

In this study, we analyzed the empty body weight and nominal volume of different types of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles commercialized in Korean market. Over 780 PET bottles were collected and classified into four types, heat resistance bottle, normal resistance bottle, pressure resistance bottle, and long period using bottle. Each PET bottle's lightness index was established using bottle weight and nominal volume. Based on the index value, "acceptable" and "optimum" criteria for design guideline of PET bottle were summarized for each PET bottle type. In this paper, we suggest the use of PET bottle lightness index as a design guideline for material resource reduction of PET bottle for Korean beverage industries and bottle makers. For example, we can achieve 2~4 g weight reduction in normal pressure bottle for 500 mL drinking water.

In this study, the strength stability of an LPG mini tank with a storage capacity of about 250 kg was analyzed by FEM. According to the results of the FEM analysis, it is preferable that the corner radius of the LPG mini tank having a storage capacity of 250 kg is designed to be 175 to 205 mm. Generally, the larger the corner radius of the end plate of the gas storage tank, the higher the safety of the strength, but the volume or capacity of the tank is reduced. Therefore, it is important to derive the optimum design data. Further, in order to securely design the strength of the gas tank, the thickness of the tank is designed to be thick. However, when the thick steel sheet is used, the material and the transportation costs are increased. The result shows that it is preferable to select the optimum thickness of the steel sheet from 4.5 to 5.5 mm. Using the level gauge type of column on the central axis of the gas tank, the safety strength of the LPG tank can be enhanced as much as twice, compared with the tank of the existing level gauge to measure the liquid level by piercing the side wall of the tank.

In this paper, we present a GA(Genetic Algorithm) approach to select weighting matrices of an optimal LQ(Linear Quadratic) controller for SVC(Static VAR Compensator). A SVC, one of the FACTS(Flexible AC Transmission System), constructed by a FC(Fixed Capacitor) and a TCR(Thyristor Controlled Reactor), was designed and implemented to improve the damping of a synchronous generator, as well as to control the system voltage Also, a design of LQ controller depends on choosing weighting matrices. The selection of weighting matrices which is not a trivial solution is usually carried out by trial and error. We proposed an efficient method using GA of finding weighting matrices for optimal control law. Thus, we proved the usefulness of proposed method to improve the stability of single machine-infinite bus with SVC system by eigenvalues analysis and simulation.
