Manufacturing industries, now-a-days, focus mostly on redesigning of the products for reducing cost and lead-time via detailed analysis of its composition and constructional design regarded as the Reverse Engineering (RE) process that involves the acquisition of relevant data of the original product, analysis for its functional use and finally, reproduction of the design for improving the functionality. In the present work, a new model based on optimization at different steps of RE, is proposed to redesign a structural component, which is subjected to severe tensile stress while in service. The component under study is an accessory namely, hitch bracket, attached to the rear axle of a tractor to connect it to the plough. The methodology includes building of a 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) model from the scanned data of the existing component with the help of 3D scanner. Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis is carried out on the CAD model with existing load conditions by Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Topological optimization is carried out giving rise to a modified/optimized design of the component. It is observed that the performance of the modified component improves significantly with simultaneous weight reduction without affecting its functional use and the manufacturing process setup.

Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS) is an innovative technique to precisely control the phase of incident signals with the help of low-cost passive reflective elements. It shows excellent potential in the sixth generation of mobile communication systems, which not only extends wireless coverage but also boosts channel capacity. Considering that multipath propagation and a high number of antennas are involved in RIS in assisted mega multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, it suffers from severe channel fading and multipath effects, which in turn lead to signal instability and degradation of transmission performance. To overcome this obstacle, this essay suggests an improved gradient optimization algorithm to dynamically and optimally adjust the phase of the reflective elements to counteract channel fading and multipath effects as a strategy. In order to overcome the optimization problem of falling into local minima, this paper proposes an adaptive learning rate algorithm based on Adagrad improvement, which searches for the global optimal solution more efficiently and improves the robustness of the optimization algorithm. The suggested technique helps to enhance the estimate of channel efficiency of RIS-assisted large MIMO systems, according to simulation results.

본 연구는 초고층 건축물의 기본계획을 바탕으로 철근콘크리트 코어 벽체의 두께를 최적화하여 실시설계에 적용하는 과정에서, StrAuto를 통한 수많은 케이스의 반복해석을 통하여 최적 케이스를 찾아내어, 설계 방향과 한계에 대한 가이드라인을 설정하기 위한 프로세스를 구축하기 위한 실용화 연구이다. 코어 벽체의 두께와 강도를 변경하면서 StrAuto를 통해 반복해석을 수행하고 해석결과를 시각적으로 표현하여 설계자가 어떤 방향으로 설계를 진행할지를 결정하는데 중요한 참고자료로 활용하도록 프로세스를 정립하였다. 본 논문은 기본적인 구조설계가 완료된 상태에서 설계자가 원하는 방향에 대한 수많은 케이스를 빠르게 검토하여 올바른 실시 설계 방향을 설정하는 프로세스를 구축했다는 점에서 큰 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 지진하중을 받는 강뼈대구조물의 표준단면에 대한 다목적 최적설계 정식화 방법을 제안하였다. 다목적 최적화 문제는 강재중량, 변형에너지, 안전성을 목적함수로 구성하였다. 표준단면제원을 이용한 다목적 최적설계 문제를 효율적으로 해결하기 위하여 전역기준법(Global Criterion Method)을 이용하였다. 실제적인 대형구조물의 다목적 최적설계 문제를 효율적으로 해결하기 위해 전체 구조계와 구조 요소계로 나누는 다단계 알고리즘을 적용하였고 자동미분을 이용하여 매개변수에 대한 민감도해석을 이용한 근사재해석 기법을 사용하였다. 또한 전체 구조계와 구조 요소계의 연결을 위해 표준단면을 이용하여 단면 2차 모멘트와 단면적, 단면상수와의 관계를 희귀분석 하였다. 수치해석 결과 안정성을 고려한 강 뼈대 구조물의 최적설계 방법은 기존의 방법보다 합리적인 설계를 유도할 것으로 기대된다.

수자원시스템의 효율적인 운영 및 관리를 위해서는 하천 시설물들을 효율적으로 연계운영 할 필요가 있다. 그러나 이를 위한 시뮬레이션 모형은 최선의 대안을 보장하지 못하고, 최적화 모형은 복잡한 수계 현황을 유연하게 고려하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 시뮬레이션과 최적화 기법의 한계점을 서로 보완해서 활용하는 것이 바람직하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션과 최적화 기법의 원론적 비교를 통해 각 기법의 장 단점을 분석하고, 두 방법의 한계점을 극복할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 기반의 최적화 모형, CoWMOM의 활용을 제안한다. 아울러 댐-보 연계운영 모형의 활용방안으로 i) 과거의 특정 기간에 대한 분석 도구로써의 활용법과, ii) 미래 수문 정보가 불확실한 상황에서 댐-보 연계운영을 하는 현실에 적합한 모형 활용 절차를 제시한다.

Incorporation of chromophores into multi-chromophore-containing dendrimers is shown to lead to a significant enhancement in electro-optic activity. These results are reasonably well simulated by pseudo-atomistic Monte Carlo calculations that permit dendrimers to interpenetrate (entangle). Calculations also lead to the correct prediction of material densities. An even greater enhancement in electro-optic activity is observed when such dendrimer materials are doped with a second chromophore. This latter effect may reflect an Ising-lattice-type phenomenon where one chromophore impacts the ordering of the other and vice versa.

In this paper, using the newly developed GaAs Schottky beam-lead diode made by Marconi company, we have developed and evaluated the waveguide type single-ended mixer at Q-band. The various components of the mixer were separately designed and optimized using the Super-Compact software. These studies included the design of the step waveguide impedance transformer and the RF-choke filter, and the optimization of a high and low impedance for the RF-choke filter. Moreover, this RF-choke filter pattern included a section to reject the second harmonic frequency of the RF signal. Finally, this Q-band mixer with 1.4GHz/400MHz IF frequency exhibits an average conversion loss of 5.3 dB over 33-50GHz bandwidth.

In this paper, we propose a mixed integer optimization approach for solving the inventory problem with variable lead time, reorder point, crashing cost and price -quantity discount. Chang and Chang[15] study a continuous review inventory model in which lead time is a decision variable under price-quantity discount. However, their study cannot find the optimal solution due to the flaws in the modeling and the solution procedure. We present a complete procedure to find the optimal solution for the model. In addition to the above contribution, we also apply the minimax distribution free approach to the model to devise a practical procedure which can be used without specific information on demand distribution.

This article concerns a profit model in a repair limit replacement problem with imperfect repair. If a system fails, we should decide whether we repair the failed system (repair option) or replace it by new one (replacement option with a lead time). We assume that repair times are random variables and can be estimated before repair with estimation error. If the estimated repair time is less than the specified limit (repair time limit), the failed unit is repaired but the unit after repair is different from the new one (imperfect repair). Otherwise, we order a new unit to replace the failed unit. The long run average profit (expected profit rate) is used as an optimization criterion and the optimal repair time limit maximizes the expected profit rate. Some special cases are derived.

Optimum design of the tooth surface for the reduction of transmission error is very difficult to determine analytically due to nonlinearity of transmission error under the several load condition. The design of tooth surface that can give a low noise under the various load condition is very important. Therefore, this study proposes the method to determine the optimal lead curve and robust design of the tooth surface by using the response surface method. To do so, the design variables are selected by a screening experiment. Then the fitted regression model Is built with the check of the usefulness of the model. The model with constraints is solved to obtain the optimum values for the lead curve and the robust design fur the tooth surface.
