This paper concerns the development of a designer friendly hull form parameterization and its coupling with advanced global optimization algorithms. As optimization algorithms, we choose the Partial Swarm Optimization(PSO) recently introduced to solve global optimization problems. Most general-purpose optimization softwares used in industrial applications use gradient-based algorithms, mainly due to their convergence properties and computational efficiency when a relatively few number of variables are considered. However, local optimizers have difficulties with local minima and non-connected feasible regions. Because of the increase of computer power and of the development of efficient Global Optimization (GO) methods, in recent years nongradient-based algorithms have attracted much attention. Furthermore, GO methods provide several advantages over local approaches. In the paper, the derivative-based SQP and the GO approach PSO are compared with their relative performances in solving some typical ship design optimization problem focusing on their effectiveness and efficiency.

This paper proposes a combinatorial method to compute the global and local solutions of optimization problem. The present hybrid algorithm is the synthesis of a genetic algorithm and a local concentrate search algorithm (simplex method). The hybrid algorithm is not only faster than the standard genetic algorithm, but also gives a more accurate solution. In addition, this algorithm can find both the global and local optimum solutions. An optimization result is presented to demonstrate that the proposed approach successfully focuses on the advantages of global and local searches. Three numerical examples are also presented in this paper to compare with conventional methods.

An efficient and high-fidelity design approach for wing-body shape optimization is presented. Depending on the size of design space and the number of design of variable, aerodynamic shape optimization process is carried out via different optimization strategies at each design stage. In the first stage, global optimization techniques are applied to planform design with a few geometric design variables. In the second stage, local optimization techniques are used for wing surface design with a lot of design variables to maintain a sufficient design space with a high DOF (Degree of Freedom) geometric change. For global optimization, Kriging method in conjunction with Genetic Algorithm (GA) is used. Asearching algorithm of EI (Expected Improvement) points is introduced to enhance the quality of global optimization for the wing-planform design. For local optimization, a discrete adjoint method is adopted. By the successive combination of global and local optimization techniques, drag minimization is performed for a multi-body aircraft configuration while maintaining the baseline lift and the wing weight at the same time. Through the design process, performances of the test models are remarkably improved in comparison with the single stage design approach. The performance of the proposed design framework including wing planform design variables can be efficiently evaluated by the drag decomposition method, which can examine the improvement of various drag components, such as induced drag, wave drag, viscous drag and profile drag.

This paper proposes a novel optimization algorithm inspired by water flowing and shaking behaviors in a vessel. Water drops in our algorithm flow to the gradient descent direction and are sometimes shaken for getting out of local optimum areas when most water drops fall in local optimum areas. These flowing and shaking operations allow our algorithm to quickly approach to the global optimum without staying in local optimum areas. We experimented our algorithm with four function optimization problems and compared its results with those of particle swarm optimization. Experimental results showed that our algorithm is superior to the particle swarm optimization algorithm in terms of the speed and success ratio of finding the global optimum.

Several design problems of composite structures are studied via a global optimizer based on attraction regions. MSC/NASTRAN is adopted for static and eigenvalue analysis. The method of modified feasible direction in DOT is used for local optimization. Through the review of global optimization algorithms, the triangular patch algorithm is selected because the algorithm is known to be efficient, robust and powerful for general nonlinear optimization problems. For general applicability, various mechanical properties are considered as design objectives; strain energy, eigenvalue, weight, displacement, and buckling load. In all cases considered, the triangular patch algorithm results in a lot of optimum points and useful design patterns, that are not easy by local algorithms or conventional global algorithms can be determined.

This paper introduces a novel optimization technique based on gravitational search algorithm (GSA) for numerical optimization and multi-objective optimization of foundation. In the proposed method, a chaotic time varying system is applied into the position updating equation to increase the global exploration ability and accurate local exploitation of the original algorithm. The new algorithm called global-local GSA (GLGSA) is applied for optimization of some well-known mathematical benchmark functions as well as two design examples of spread foundation. In the foundation optimization, two objective functions include total cost and $CO_2$ emissions of the foundation subjected to geotechnical and structural requirements are considered. From environmental point of view, minimization of embedded $CO_2$ emissions that quantifies the total amount of carbon dioxide emissions resulting from the use of materials seems necessary to include in the design criteria. The experimental results demonstrate that, the proposed GLGSA remarkably improves the accuracy, stability and efficiency of the original algorithm.

Harmony search(HS)는 새로운 하모니를 구성할 때 HM을 참조하는 경우 개별 하모니의 평가를 이용하지 않지만 PSO(particle swarm optimization)는 개별 입자의 평가와 모집단의 평가를 이용하여 해를 찾아간다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 HS와 PSO의 유사점을 찾아 PSO의 입자 개선 과정을 HS에 적용하여 알고리즘의 성능을 향상시키고자 하였다. PSO 알고리즘을 적용하기 위해서는 개별 입자의 local best와 떼(swam)의 global best가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 HS가 harmony memory(HM)에서 가장 나쁜 하모니을 개선하는 과정을 PSO와 매우 유사한 과정으로 보았다. 이에 따라 HM의 가장 나쁜 하모니를 입자의 PSO의 local best로, 가장 좋은 하모니는 PSO의 global best 최고로 간주하였다. 이와 같이 PSO의 입자 개선과정을 HS 하모니 개선과정에 도입하여 HS의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과는 다양한 함수에 대한 최적화 예시를 통해 비교 확인하였다. 그 결과 정확성과 일관성에 있어 기존 HS보다 제안한 HS-PSO가 매우 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 방사 기저함수 네트워크의 파라미터를 전 영역에서 최적화하는 학습 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 학습 알고리즘들은 지역 최적화만을 수행하기 때문에 성능의 한계가 있고 최종 결과가 초기 네트워크 파라미터 값에 크게 의존하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 하이브리드 모의 담금질 기법은 모의 담금질 기법의 전 영역 탐색 능력과 경사 기반 학습 알고리즘의 지역 최적화 능력을 조합하여 전 파라미터 영역에서 해를 찾을 수 있도록 한다. 제안하는 기법을 함수 근사화 문제에 적용하여 기존의 학습 알고리즘에 비해 더 좋은 학습 및 일반화 성능을 보이는 네트워크 파라미터를 찾을 수 있으며, 초기 파라미터 값의 영향을 크게 줄일 수 있음을 보인다.
