This paper describes the design method of Time-to-Digital Converter(TDC) to obtain the constant delay time and good reliability. The reliability property is described with delay elements. In TDC the time signal is converted to digital value which is based on delay elements for the time interpolation. To obtain the constant delay time, the first and the last delay elements have different structure compared to the middle delay elements. In the first and the last delay elements, the driving ability could be controlled for the different delay time. The delay element can be designed by analog and digital devices. The delay time of the element using analog devices is not sensitive to process parameters than that of the element using digital devices. And the TDC circuit by the elements using analog devices shows better reliability than that by the elements using digital devices also.

Precise and reasonable modelling is necessary and indispensable to the analysis of dynamic characteristics of mechanical structures. Also. the effective prediction of the change of modal properties due to the variation of design parameters is required especially for the application of finite element method to the structural dynamics problems. To meet those necessity and requirement, three model updating algorithms are proposed for finite element methods. Those algorithms are based on sensitivity analysis of the modal data obtained from experimental modal analysis(EMA) and analytical modal analysis(AMA). The adapted sensitivity analysis methods of the algorithms are 1)eigensensitivity(EGNS) method. 2)frequency response function sensitivity(FRFS) method. 3)sensitivity based element-by-element method (SBEEM), Singular value decomposition(SVD) is used for performing eigenanalysis and parameter estimation in the updating process. Those algorithms are applied to finite element of a plate and the updating capability of each algorithm is compared in terms of accuracy. reliability and stability of the updating process. It is shown that the model updating method using frequency response function is superior to the other methods in view of various updating capabilities.

This paper presents the design for improving performance of the high-precision Magnetic levitation system. Motor performance on various design schemes such as thickness and magnetizing patterns of the permanent magnets, pole pitch, length of air gap, turn number of windings, and thickness of the aluminum-core has been investigated in detail by using FEM(Finite Element Method) Simulation-based DOE(Design of Experiments) method is also applied in order to reduce the large number of analysis according to each design variable and consider the effect among variables. The design in all aspects is proposed by an optimization algorithm using regression equation derived from the simulation-based DOE.

In this paper, a finite element method is applied to the numerical calculation of the harbor calmness. The mild stop equation as the basic equation is used. The key of this model is that the bottom friction and boundary absorption are imposed. A numerical result is presented and compared with the results obtained from the other numerical analysis. These results are in very well agreement. This method calculating the calmness can be broadly utilized making the new design of harbor and fishing port in the future.

Cable supported structures have been widely used in civil engineering. Cable tension estimation has great importance in cable supported structures' analysis, ranging from design to construction and from inspection to maintenance. Even though the Bernoulli-Euler beam element is commonly used in the traditional finite element method for calculation of frequency and cable tension estimation, many elements must be meshed to achieve accurate results, leading to expensive computation. To improve the accuracy and efficiency, a dynamic finite element method for estimation of cable tension is proposed. In this method, following the dynamic stiffness matrix method, frequency-dependent shape functions are adopted to derive the stiffness and mass matrices of an exact beam element that can be used for natural frequency calculation and cable tension estimation. An iterative algorithm is used for the exact beam element to determine both the exact natural frequencies and the cable tension. Illustrative examples show that, compared with the cable tension estimation method using the conventional beam element, the proposed method has a distinct advantage regarding the accuracy and the computational time.

리모델링 프로젝트는 기존 자원의 활용이라는 제한조건 안에서 수행되므로 기존 건축물의 구성요소들의 상관관계가 리모델링의 대상과 범위의 선정에 제한조건, 영향요인으로 작용하게 된다. 이러한 리모델링 프로젝트의 특성을 고려하여, 본 연구에서는 리모델링 사업수행시 설계단계에서 건축물 공간을 구성하는 부위의 구성요소간의 상관관계 분석을 통해 시공단계에서 발생하는 다양한 문제로 인한 공기지연, 공사비 증가 등의 문제 발생을 최소화하기 위한 방법으로, 리모델링 설계단계에서 건축시스템의 상관관계를 효율적으로 분석하기 위한 리모델링 건축시스템 상관관계 도식화 모델 및 부위별 적정 대안선정 방법을 제안하였다.

The shape optimization procedure applying finite element method was carried out for the specific purpose of analysis of a tractor chassis frame. Minimization of the mass as an objective function is executed under multiple constrained conditions of nodal displacements and stresses. The optimization process executions were succeeded in converging into single optimum solution. Although mass reduction and stress alleviation were attained by 40% and 26 to 24% respectively , the geometry of the shape is so complicated for fabrication that the refinement of the geometry is of necessity.

위상최적설계는 개념설계에 적합하며, 제품의 설계에서 사용되어지고 있다. 전통적인 위상최적화는 균질화법과 최적조건법을 사용해 왔다. 균질화법은 구멍으로 구성된 구조물과 강성행렬사이의 관계를 연결해주는데 사용되며, 최적조건법은 부피분율을 유지하며 설계변수의 개선에 사용되어진다. 전통적인 위상최적설계는 수렴성이 좋은 장점은 있지만 수렴시간이 많이 걸린다는 단점이 있었다. 이 문제를 해결하는 하나의 방법으로 평균 응력량을 기준으로 요소를 제거하는 요소제거법을 제시하였다. 예제에서 수렴속도가 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents a solution method, which can be regarded as the further extension of the generalized evolutionary method (Zhao et al. 1998a), for the simultaneous optimization of several different natural frequencies of a structure in general and a two dimensional structure in particular. The main function of the present method is to optimize the topology of a structure so as to simultaneously make several different natural frequencies of interest to be of the corresponding different desired values for the target structure. In order to develop the present method, the new contribution factor of an element is proposed to consider the contribution of an element to the gaps between the currently calculated values for the different natural frequencies of interest and their corresponding desired values in a weighted manner. Using this new contribution factor of an element, the most inefficiently used material can be detected and removed gradually from the design domain of a structure. Through applying the present method to optimize two and three different natural frequencies of a two dimensional structure, it has been demonstrated that it is possible and applicable to use the generalized evolutionary method for tackling the simultaneous optimization of several different natural frequencies of a structure in the structural design.

In the present study, an integrated framework of geometric modeling, analysis, and design optimization is proposed. Geometric modeling is based on B-spline surface representation. Geometrically-exact shell finite element is implemented in analysis module. Control points of the surface are selected as design variables for optimization, which can make the interaction easier between analysis and surface representation. Sequential linear programming(SLP) is adopted for the shape optimization of surfaces. For the computation of shape sensitivities, semi-analytical method is used. The developed integrated framework should serve as a powerful tool for the geometric modeling, analysis, and shape design of surfaces.
