The aim of this paper is to build up the design model using ASMOD(Adaptive Spline Modeling of Observation Data) for the optimum scale of fleet, ship particulars and ship speed, etc. ASMOD, which define membership functions of fuzzy rule as B-spline basis function, represents a whole system as the sum of the sub-model. As it reduces the number of division of the space generated by the fuzzy set of input variables, it has a advantage of simplification to model structure and is efficient to represent the non-linear model.

A novel cogging torque reduction algorithm is presented for 2-pole permanent magnet DC motor. While the shape of the permanent magnet is changed in the conventional method, the pole shape of the magnetizing yoke is optimized in the presented algorithm. In order to parameterize the shape of the yoke, and the distribution of the residual magnetization of the permanent magnet, the Bezier spline is used. The shape of the magnetizing yoke is optimized using the design sensitivity analysis incorporated with the finite element method and Bezier spline.

An efficient optimum design process has been developed and applied to systematically design a lock-up clutch system for a torque converter used in an automatic transmission. A simulated annealing algorithm was applied to determine the parameters of the compressive helical damper springs in the clutch. The determination of the number, location, a number of turns, and deflection of damper springs plays an important role in reducing vibration and noise in the lock-up system. Next, FE-based shape optimization was coded to find the shape of the clutch disk that would satisfy the strength, noise and vibration requirements. Using the optimum code, parametric studies were performed to see how spring diameters and frequencies of clutch systems changed as the damper spring traveling angles and the torques were varied. Based on the optimum results, five different designs for clutches with different springs were fabricated and vibration analyses and tests were conducted to validate the accuracy of the proposed method. Results from the two methods show a good correlation.

This paper presents the method for developing an optimum hull form with minimum wave resistance using SQP(sequential quadratic programming) as an optimization technique. The wave resistance is evaluated by a Rankine source panel method with non-linear free surface conditions and the ITTC 1957 friction line is used to predict the frictional resistance coefficient. The geometry of the hull surface is represented and modified using B-spline surface patches. The optimization method is applied to Series 60 hull and KCS(KRISO 3600 TEU Container Ship). The obtained results prove that the method is appropriate for preliminary hull form design.

A design procedure for a ship with minimum total resistance has been developed using a numerical optimization method called SQP(sequential quadratic programming) to search for different optimal hull forms. The frictional resistance has been estimated using the ITTC 1957 model-ship correlation line formula, and the wave resistance has been evaluated using a potential-flow panel method that is based on Rankine sources with nonlinear free surface boundary conditions. The geometry of a hull surface has been modified using B-spline surface patches, during the whole optimization process. The numerical analyses have been carried out for the modified Wilgey hull at three different speeds (Fn=0.25, 0.316, 0.408), and the calculation results were compared.

Isogeometric concept is introduced to find out the optimum layout of plane structure under free vibration. Eigenvalue problem is formulated and numerically solved in order to obtain natural frequencies and mode shapes of plane structures. For the exact geometric expression of the structure, the Non-Uniform Rational B-spline Surface (NURBS) basis functions is employed and it is also used to define the material density functions. A node-wise design variables is adopted to deal with the updating of material density in topology optimization (TO). The definition of modal strain energy is employed to achieve the maximization of fundamental frequency through its minimization. The verification of the proposed TO technique is performed by a series of benchmark test for plane structures.

Fundamental Study for optimizing ship hull form using SQP(sequential quadratic programming) method in a resistance point of view is presented. The Wigley hull is used as an initial hull and numerical calculations are carried out according to various froude numbers. To obtain the ship resistance the wave resistance is evaluated by a Rankine source panel method with nonlinear free surface conditions and the ITTC 1957 friction line is used to predict the frictional resistance coefficient. The geometry of a hull surface is represented and modified by B-spline surface patch. The displacement and the waterplane transverse 2nd moment of inertia of the hull is fixed during the optimization process. And the shp design program called EzHULL is used to draw the lines of the optimized hull form to perform the model test.
