This study presents the efficient lateral drift control optimal technique that can control quantitatively lateral drift of high-rise structures. To this end, optimal design algorithm is formulated and then lateral drift control optimal program is developed. The 130 story shear wall core model is considered to illustrate the features of lateral drift control technique proposed in this study

First, the effect of the geometry such as the curved shape of the struts composing the truss structure of WBK is elaborated. Then, analytic solutions for the material properties of WBK and the maximum loads of a WBK-cored sandwich panel under bending are derived. A design optimization with the face sheet thickness and the core height selected as the design variables is presented for given slenderness ratios of the WBK core. Unless the face sheet thickness is limited, the optimal design to give the maximum load per weight is always found at a confluence of three failure modes, namely, face sheet yielding, indentation plastic, and core shear modeB plastic.

This paper develops the theory for a novel fault-tolerant, permanent magnet biased, 4-active-pole, double plane, homopolar magnetic bearing. The Lagrange Multiplier optimization with equality constraints is utilized to calculate the optimal distribution matrices for the failed bearing. If any of the 4 coils fail, the remaining three coil currents change via a novel distribution matrix such that the same opposing pole, C-core type, control fluxes as those of the un-failed bearing are produced. Magnetic flux coupling in the magnetic bearing core and the optimal current distribution helps to produce the same c-core fluxes as those of unfailed bearing even if one coil suddenly fails. Thus the magnetic forces and the load capacity of the bearing remain invariant throughout the failure event. It is shown that the control fluxes to each active pole planes are successfully isolated. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the new theory.

The reduction of the ripple of driving force is especially required for the practical utilization of linear synchronous motor for rope-less elevator. In this paper, the magnetic region of the linear motor is optimized by using topology optimization techniques (density method and ON/OFF method) in order to reduce the ripple of driving force. The optimal results of both methods are compared, and useful information for the optimal design of linear motor is obtained.

Traditional genetic algorithms(GA) have mostly used binary code for representing design variable. The binary code GA has many difficulties to solve optimization problems with continuous design variables because of its targe computer core memory size, inefficiency of its computing time, and its bad performance on local search. In this paper, a real code GA is proposed for dealing with the above problems. So, new crossover and mutation processes of read code GA are developed to use continuous design variables directly. The results of real code GA are compared with those of binary code GA for several single and multiple objective optimization problems. As results of comparisons, it is found that the performance of the real code GA is better than that of the binary code GA, and concluded that the rent code GA developed here can be used for the general optimization problem.

Effective and efficient estimation of camera poses is a core method in implementing augmented reality systems or applications. The most common one is using markers, e.g., ARToolkit. However, use of markers suffers from a notorious problem that is vulnerable to occlusion. To overcome this, this paper proposes a top-down method that iteratively estimates the current camera pose by using particle swarm optimization. Through experiments, it was confirmed that the proposed method enables to implement augmented reality on severely-occluded markers.

In general, a DC solenoid valve is evaluated by the performances such as the attraction force at maximum and minimum strokes, temperature rising, power consumption and time of action. The importance of each performance may be different according to the specific application purpose. When the temperature rising and power consumption are fixed, however, the performance of DC solenoid valve is usually evaluated by the attraction force at maximum and minimum strokes and time of action. In this paper, the shape of the pole face of plunger and core is optimized to increase the attraction force at maximum stroke, and thereby to minimize the time of action. For the shape optimization, (1+1) evolution strategy is incorporated with the response surface method(RSM) and finite element method(FEM).

The object of multiresponse optimization is to determine conditions on hte independent variables that lead to optimal or nearly optimal values of the response variables. Derringer and Suich (1980) extended Harrington's (1965) procedure by introducing more general transformations of the response into desirability functions. The core of the desirability a, pp.oach condenses a multivariate optimization into a univariate one. But because of the subjective nature of this a, pp.oach, inexperience on the part of the user in assessing a product's desirability value may lead to inaccurate results. To compensate for this defect, a weighted desirability function is introduced which takes into consideration the vriances of the responses.

This research presents a topology optimization for manipulating the main heat flow in coupled magneto-thermal systems. The heat generated by eddy currents is considered in the design domain assuming an adiabatic boundary. For a practical optimization, the convection condition is considered in the topological process of the thermal field. Topology design sensitivity is derived by employing the discrete system equations combined with the adjoint variable method. As numerical examples, a simple iron and a C-core design heated-up by eddy currents demonstrate the strength of the proposed approach to solve the coupled problem.
