CAE 기반 구조최적설계법인 위상최적설계와 형상최적설계를 크레인의 경량화에 적용하였다. 붐은 단면 형상을 설계 변수로 변화시키면서 질량의 최소화를 최적설계의 목적함수로 하고 붐의 정적강도와 동적강성이 초기 모델의 성능에 비해서 저하되지 않아야 한다는 제한조건을 설정하였다. 구조해석 및 최적설계는 상용소프트웨어인 Hyperworks를 이용하여 수행하였으며 붐의 단면 형상의 변형에 따르는 요소망의 변동은 모핑 기능을 사용하여 수치 안정성을 확보하였다. 붐의 지지부는 초기 모델을 단순화시킨 설계 영역을 설정하고 이를 삼차원 솔리드 요소로 이산화한 후 위상최적설계를 수행하였다. 최적설계 결과 시스템의 전체 동적, 정적 강성을 저하시키지 않은 채로 붐은 19%, 지지부는 17% 경량화시킬 수 있었다.

In this study, we propose the method of optimally selecting material of front pillar (A-pillar) and package tray for minimizing weight while satisfying vehicle requirements on static stiffness and dynamic stiffness. First, we formulate a material selection optimization problem. Next, we establish the CAE procedure of evaluating static stiffness and dynamic stiffness. Then, to enhance the efficiency of design work, we integrate and automate the established CAE procedure using a commercial process integration and design optimization (PIDO) tool, PIAnO. For effective optimization, we adopt the approach of metamodel based approximate optimization. As a sampling method, an orthogonal array (OA) is used for selecting sampling points. The response values are evaluated at the sampling points and then these response values are used to generate a metamodel of each response using the radial basis function regression (RBFr). Using the RBFr models, optimization is carried out an evolutionary algorithm that can handle discrete design variables. Material optimization result reveals that the weight is reduced by 49.8% while satisfying all the design constraints.

본 논문은 심해저 채광시스템 중 심해저 광물자원의 안전한 양광을 위한 바이패스 밸브의 개념 소개 및 CAE 기반의 바이패스 밸브 요소 설계 기술을 고찰하고 있다. 바이패스 밸브는 다른 해양의 기자재와 같이 고장예방과 안정성 확보를 위해 간단한 구조로 제안되었으나, 유체, 구조, 동적 거동 등의 다양한 영향으로 인해 설계는 복잡하고 어렵다. 설계가 복잡한 바이패스 밸브를 개발하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 CAE 기반 설계 기술을 활용하였다. CAE 기반 설계 기술은 설계, 설계검증, 가상의 실험 등을 한 번에 할 수 있어 바이패스 밸브와 같이 복잡한 설계 문제 해결에 효과적이다. 특히, 바이패스 밸브에 사용되는 스프링은 밸브 특성에서 가장 중요한 응답 성능에 관련된 부품으로 유체력, 동역학을 이용한 CAE 기반 설계 기술을 적용하는 것이 효율적이며, 이를 위해 각 학제들을 연동한 통합설계 모델을 개발하였다. 이러한 통합설계 모델을 바탕으로 바이패스 밸브의 설계 및 설계에 대한 검증을 수행하였으며, 이러한 일련의 과정을 통하여 바이패스 밸브를 개발하였다.

The paper deals with the numerical analysis and design optimization of polysilicon micro thermal flexure actuator. The deflection of a thermal actuator is implicitly related to the actuation time so that such deflection is to be maximized under the consideration of structural performances such as maximum stress and natural frequencies. At first, the structural formulation of a thermal actuator is reviewed, and its CAE based simulation is performed to verify the numerical model. A parametric study is then conducted to identify the mainly effective design variables. Finally, the design of a micro thermal actuator is explored in the context of deterministic optimization and reliability based design optimization in the present study.

In this paper, an integrated optimal design software system for structural components has been developed which interfaces existing commercial codes for CAD, CAE and Optimization. They include specialized optimal design software codes such as iSIGHT and VisualDOC, optimization module imbedded in CAD software developed by CAD developers, and optimal design software systems based on API of commercial CAD software. The advantages of the CAD imbedded optimal design approach and those of specialized optimal design software are taken to develop the system. The user defines optimal design formulation in the user interface for problem definition in the CAD control stage, where design variables are directly selectable from the CAD model and various properties and performance functions defined. The commercial CAD codes, Open I-DEAS are used for the development. The resulting software is minimally connected to CAD and CAE systems while keeping maximum independence from each other. This assures flexibility and freedom for problem definition. Fatigue life optimization is taken as a nontrivial application area. As a specific example, the shape design of a knuckle part of an automobile is performed, where the minimum fatigue life over the material domain in terms of the number of cycles of a curb strike are maximized under the constraint of not exceeding the current mass. The fatigue life has been improved by four times of the initial life. The developed software is illustrated to maintain the advantages of existing optimal design software systems while improving independency and flexibility.

It is net easy to predict the shrinkage rate of a plastic injection mold in its design process. The shrinkage rate should be considered as one of the important performances to produce the reliable products. The shrinkage rate can be determined by suing the CAE tools in the design produces. However, since the analysis can take minutes to hours, the high computational costs of performing the analysis limit their use in design optimization. In this study, the surrogate models based on the DACE is used in lien of the original models, facilitating design optimization.

Recently, the engineering designer of injection mould has become more and more dependent on the CAE. In the design factors of injection mould, the shrinkage rate should be considered as one of the important performances to produce the reliable products. therefore the shrinkage rate can be mostly calculated by the MoldFlow and Pro-engineering. in the design process. However it is not easy to predict the shrinkage rate of a plastic injection mold in its design process because the analysis can take minutes to hours, the high computational costs of performing the analysis limit their use in design optimization. In this study, the surrogate models, DACE model, based on the Kriging in order to optimize the shrinkage rate of electric microwave oven window is used in lieu of the original models, facilitating design optimization.

Energy efficiency is an essential consideration in sustainable manufacturing. This study presents the car fender-based injection molding process optimization that aims to resolve the trade-off between energy consumption and product quality at the same time in which process parameters are optimized variables. The process is specially optimized by applying response surface methodology and using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA II) in order to resolve multi-object optimization problems. To reduce computational cost and time in the problem-solving procedure, the combination of CAE-integration tools is employed. Based on the Pareto diagram, an appropriate solution is derived out to obtain optimal parameters. The optimization results show that the proposed approach can help effectively engineers in identifying optimal process parameters and achieving competitive advantages of energy consumption and product quality. In addition, the engineering analysis that can be employed to conduct holistic optimization of the injection molding process in order to increase energy efficiency and product quality was also mentioned in this paper.

Anti-shock performance is one of the most important design specifications of TFT-LCD modules. Since they are adopted fur major display units of many mobile applications such as lap-top PCs, cellular phones, and palm pilots, they are able to accommodate and endure high level transient mechanical energy inputs. For the reasons, not only the LCD unit manufacturers but their customers like PC makers perform a series of strict impact/drop test on the units. Currently, designers are mostly relying on their own trial-error based experience for the anti-shock design. Thus those designs depending on only experience may result in disqualification from the drop/impact test during final product evaluation. Those shock failures of any new designs are prohibitive for both LCD and PC manufacturers. In order to avoid this problem, many designers are focusing on the development of computer-aided design tools that is directly connected to shock simulation capabilities and then shock-proof design cycle time could be significantly reduced. Development of an integrated CAE system for the shock-proof design is presented in this article. At every stages of the development of present work, practical industrial applicability and mass production feasibility are seriously considered and tested so that the system is to be used in the LCD design engineering field.
