Numerical optimization of rotor blade airfoils is performed with a response surface method for helicopter rotor. For the baseline airfoils, OA 312, OA 309, and OA 407 airfoils are selected and optimized to improve aerodynamic performance. Aerodynamic coefficients required for the response surface method are obtained by using Navier-Stokes solver with k-$\omega$ Shear Stress Transport turbulence model. An optimized airfoil has increased drag divergence Mach number. The present design optimization method can generate an optimized airfoil with multiple design constraints, whenever it is designed from different baseline airfoils at the same design condition.

본 논문에서는 복합재 팬 블레이드의 구조적 성능에 대한 근사 및 최적설계 기법을 제안하였다. 그리고 이들을 활용하여 복합재 팬 블레이드의 질량 및 형상의 변화 없이 강성을 최대화하기 위한 적층 패턴의 최적설계를 수행하였다. 이 때 설계 변수 및 설계 영역을 축소하기 위하여 적층 파라미터를 도입하였고, 적층 파라미터의 특성을 활용하여 높은 적합도를 갖는 반응표면 근사모델을 생성하였다. 또한 효율적인 최적해 탐색을 위해 도함수 기반 방법과 유전자 알고리즘을 결합한 2단계 최적화 방법을 적용하였으며, 다양한 요구조건들을 고려한 다목적 최적설계를 수행하였다. 마지막으로는 초기 모델과 최적설계 모델의 유한요소해석 결과를 비교하여 적층 파라미터 기반의 근사 및 최적설계 기법을 검증하였다.

본 연구는 헬리콥터 블레이드 플랜폼의 공력최적 설계를 다루었다. 블레이드 3차원 공력형상 설계단계에서 결정해야하는 주요 설계 요소를 정의하고 B$\acute{e}$zier 곡선 등을 이용하여 매개변수화 하였다. 매개변수화와 설계 구속조건은 경험적 요소와 노하우를 반영하여 산업체나 연구소 등에서 사용하고 있는 설계기법을 활용하여 정의하였다. 호버링 FM과 전진비행 등가 양항비를 최적설계 문제의 목적함수로 반영하였다. 유도된 비선형 최적화 문제는 SQP기법으로 풀이하였으며 응용연구를 통해 본 연구의 기법으로 블레이드의 익형배치, 비틀림 및 시위분포 등 중요한 플랜폼 형상을 효과적으로 설계할 수 있음을 보였다.

터보분자펌프는 회전하는 로터 블레이드의 고속회전을 통해 진공을 생성하는 고진공, 고청정 펌프로 로터의 고속회전에 따른 구조적 안전성이 우선 평가되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 터보분자펌프의 배기성능 및 구조적 안전성에 영향을 미치는 인자 중에서 블레이드 각도, 길이, 블레이드가 시작되는 부분의 라운드 크기, 회전속도를 선정하여 그들의 변화에 대한 변위 및 응력 응답을 관찰하는 민감도 평가 및 최적설계를 수행하였다. 일반적인 유한요소해석기법인 H-기법이 아닌 형상요소해석기법인 P-기법을 사용함으로써 복잡한 형상의 유한요소생성 모델링 시간을 단축시켜 해석의 효율성을 높일 수 있었다.

Despite of the simple equipment and operation, DMT has been widely used to obtain various soil parameters and those parameters have been successfully applied to geotechnical design practice. Among them, the estimation of horizontal coefficient of consolidation is so useful that many researchs recently have been carried out. However, simulation of the penetration of the DMT blade is complex due to the inherent difficulty on analyzing a plane strain deformation of the soil around blade. Therefore, empirical and semi-empirical methods that use the theoretical solution developed fur piezocone with some assumptions have been used to estimate the coefficient of consolidation from Dilatometer dissipation test. In this paper, coefficients of consolidation c$\_$h/ which were obtained using equivalent radius that is same area with the DMT blade and optimization technique are compared with those obtained from Oedometer test and other interpretation methods. It was found that a new method used in this study can give more precise horizontal coefficient of consolidation than other methods do.

This paper deals with the optimization of blade stiffened composite panels. The main objective of the research is to make response surfaces for the constraints. The response surface for warping thermal deformation was previously made for a fixed dimension composite structure. In this study, the dimensions of the blade stiffener were treated as design variables. This meant that a new response surface technique was required for the constraints. For the response surfaces, the lamination parameters, linear thermal expansions and dimensions of the structures were used as variables. A genetic algorithm was adopted as an optimizer, and an optimal result, which satisfied two constraints, was obtained. As a result, a new response surface was obtained, for predicting warping thermal deformation.

In order to improve efficiency of a system with three-dimensional flow characteristics, this paper presents a new method that overcomes three-dimensional effects by using two-dimensional CFD and neural network. The method was applied to shape optimization of cut-off in a multi-blade fan/scroll system. As the entrance conditions of two-dimensional CFD, the experimental values at the positions out of the inactive zone were used. The distributions of velocity and pressure obtained by two-dimensional CFD were compared with those of three-dimensional CFD and experimental results. It was found that the distributions of velocity and pressure have qualitative similarity. The results of two-dimensional CFD were used for teaming as target values of neural network. The optimal angle and radius of cut-off were determined as 71$^{\circ}$and 0.092 times the outer diameter of impeller, respectively. It is quantified in the previous report that the optimal angle and radius of cut-off are approximately 72$^{\circ}$and 0.08 times the outer diameter of impeller, respectively.

It was found that the distributions of velocity and pressure show qualitatively similarity. The results of two-dimensional CFD were used for constructing the objective function with design variables using response surface method. The optimal angle and radius of cut-off were determined as $72.4^{\circ}$ and 0.092 times the outer diameter of impeller, respectively. It is quantified the previous report that the optimal angle and radius of cut-off are approximately $72^{\circ}$ and 0.08 times the outer diameter of impeller, respectively.

The present work focuses multi-objective optimization of blade sweep for a Wells turbine. The blade-sweep parameters at the mid and the tip sections are selected as design variables. The peak-torque coefficient and the corresponding efficiency are the objective functions, which are maximized. The numerical analysis has been carried out by solving 3D RANS equations based on k-w SST turbulence model. Nine design points are selected within a design space and the simulations are run. Based on the computational results, surrogate-based weighted average models are constructed and the population based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm gave Pareto optimal solutions. The peak-torque coefficient and the corresponding efficiency are enhanced, and the results are analysed using CFD simulations. Two extreme designs in the Pareto solutions show that the peak-torque-coefficient is increased by 28.28% and the corresponding efficiency is decreased by 13.5%. A detailed flow analysis shows the separation phenomena change the turbine performance.
