The structural shape optimization is a useful tool for engineers to determine the shape of a structure. During the optimization process, relocations of nodes happen successively. However, excessive movement of nodes often results in the mesh distortion and eventually deteriorates the accuracy of the optimum solution. To overcome this problem, an efficient method for the shape optimization has been developed. The method starts from the design domain which is large enough to hold the possible shape of the structure. The design domain has pre-defined uniform fine meshes. At every cycle, the method judges whether all the elements are inside of the structure or not. Elements inside of the structure are assigned with real material properties, however elements outside of the structure are assigned with nearly zero values. The performance of the method is evaluated through various examples.

The optimization of cutouts in composite plates was investigated by implementing a procedure known as Evolutionary Structural Optimization. Perforations were introduced into a finite element mesh of the plate from which one or more cutouts of a predetermined size were evolved. In the examples presented, plates were rejected from around each evolving cutout based on a predefined rejection criterion. The limiting ply within each plate element around the cutout was determined based on the Tsai-Hill failure criterion. Finite element plates with values below the product of the average Tsai-Hill number and a rejection criterion were subsequently removed. This process was iterated until a steady state was reached and the rejection criterion was then incremented by an evolutionary rate and the above steps repeated until the desired cutout area was achieved. Various plates with differing lay-up and loading parameters were investigated to demonstrate the generality and robustness of this optimization procedure.

In the shape optimization based on the finite element method, the accuracy of finite element analysis of a given structure is important to determine the final shape. In case of a bending dominant problem, finite element solutions by the full integration scheme are not reliable because of the locking phenomenon. Furthermore, in the process of shape optimization, the mesh distortion is large due to the change of the structure outline: therefore, we cannot guarantee the accurate result unless the finite element itself is accurate. We approach to more accurate shape optimization to diminish these inaccuracies by improving the existing finite element. The shape optimization using the modified finite element is applied to a two-dimensional simple beam. Results show that the modified finite element have improved the optimization results.

Issues on design of routing scheme and routing metric for multicast in multi-channel multi-radio (MCMR) wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are discussed. Emphasis is placed on channel-diversity oriented routing metrics. From case study the conclusion to be drawn is that the key for design of channel-diversity oriented routing metrics is how to construct an optimization function to quantify interdependence between channel assignment and multicast routing throughput.

본 논문은 윤곽선 기반 메쉬 최적화를 이용한 스테레오 영상의 효율적인 데이터 표현 방법을 제안한다. 스테레오 영상에 대한 메쉬 기반 2차원 워핑은 주로 제어점 선택과 선택된 제어점들의 시차 정보 추정 성능에 의존한다. 따라서 제안된 방법은 제어점 선택을 위하여 강한 윤곽선과 객체의 경계선만으로 구성된 특징 지도를 생성하고 이를 기반으로 격자형 메쉬를 생성한다. 또한, 지역단위로 2차원 워핑을 수행하며 목적영상과의 오차를 최소로 하는 제어점의 위치를 반복적으로 추정하게 된다. 최적화된 제어점 위치를 찾기 위한 반복적 2차원 워핑 과정은 많은 계산 시간을 요구하기 때문에 이를 개선하기 위하여 입력된 스테레오 영상은 수평 시차만 존재하고 최적의 제어점 위치는 객체의 경계선을 포함한 윤곽선 위에 존재함을 가정한다. 따라서 제안한 윤곽선 기반 워핑 방법은 수평선 위에 윤곽선만을 따라 반복적으로 최적화된 제어점 위치를 탐색한다. 본 논문의 실험에서는 스테레오 영상에 대하여 제어점 수에 따른 신호에 대한 잡음비(PSNR)를 측정하여 기존 방법과 제안한 방법의 품질을 비교 하였다. 뿐만 아니라 최적의 메쉬 생성을 위한 수행시간을 비교하여 평가하였다. 실험 결과를 통하여 제안한 방법은 적은 수의 제어점을 이용하여 품질의 저하를 줄이고 빠르게 최적의 메쉬를 생성함으로써 효율적인 스테레오 영상 표현 방법을 제공하였다.

본 논문에서는 규칙적인 형태의 NoC 중 mesh 구조를 기반으로 한 어플리케이션 코어 매핑 알고리즘 연구 내용을 소개한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 ant colony optimization(ACO) 기법을 이용하여 주어진 SoC 내장 코어 및 NoC 특성 정보를 대상으로 가장 효과적인 코어 배치 결과를 도출한다. 설계 목적으로 사용된 네트워크 지연 시간 측정을 위해 평균 흡수 계산 결과를 이용하였으며 제한 조건으로는 NoC 대역폭을 기준으로 하였다. 12개의 코어로 구성되는 실제 기능 블럭을 대상으로 실험한 결과 계산 시간이나 매핑 결과 모두 우수함을 확인할 수 있었다.

The development of new multimedia techniques such as 3D printing is increasingly attracting the public's attention towards 3D objects. An optimized robust and imperceptible watermarking method based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and Weber Law is proposed for 3D polygonal models. The proposed approach partitions the host model into smaller sub meshes and generates a secret watermark from the sub meshes using Weber Law. ACO based optimized strength factor is identified for embedding the watermark. The secret watermark is embedded and extracted on the wavelet domain. The proposed scheme is robust against geometric and photometric attacks that overcomes the synchronization problem and authenticates the secret watermark from the distorted models. The primary characteristic of the proposed system is the flexibility achieved in data embedding capacity due to the optimized strength factor. Extensive simulation results shows enhanced performance of the recommended framework and robustness towards the most common attacks like geometric transformations, noise, cropping, mesh smoothening, and the combination of such attacks.

h-version 유한요소법에 근거를 둔 형상최적화 설계에서는 초기모델의 기하형상에 대한 이상적인 체눈설계가 최종해석시에는 적합하지 않을 수 있게 된다. 그러므로, 최적화의 반복단계마다 모델의 단변형상에 대한 새로운 체눈설계가 필요하게 된다. 그러나 p-version 유한요소법은 형상최적화 문제 해석을 위한 매우 매력적인 대안으로 제시될 수 있다 p-version 유한요소법은 h-version 유한요소법과 비교하여 다음과 같은 큰 장점을 갖고 있다. 첫째로, 보간함수의 차수가 3차이상이 되면 요소의 찌그러진 형상에 대한 유한요소 해에 별 영향을 미치지 않는다. 둘째로, 심지어 응력특이 문제도 h-version에 비해 p-version은 적절한 체눈설계를 하게되면 훨씬 효율적이다. 셋째로, 초지 체눈설계와 최종 체눈설계가 동일하므로 반복단계마다 새롭게 체눈설계를 할 필요가 없어진다. Bezier의 곡선보간법, 경사투사법과 적분형 르장드르 다항식에 기초를 둔 2차원 형상최적화를 위한 p-version 모델이 제시되었다. 수치해석 경과는 p-version 소프트웨어인 RASNA를 사용하여 수행되었다.

An electrical resistance tomography (ERT) technique combining the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with the Gauss-Newton method is applied to the visualization of two-phase flows. In the ERT, the electrical conductivity distribution, namely the conductivity values of pixels (numerical meshes) comprising the domain in the context of a numerical image reconstruction algorithm, is estimated with the known injected currents through the electrodes attached on the domain boundary and the measured potentials on those electrodes. In spite of many favorable characteristics of ERT such as no radiation, low cost, and high temporal resolution compared to other tomography techniques, one of the major drawbacks of ERT is low spatial resolution due to the inherent ill-posedness of conventional image reconstruction algorithms. In fact, the number of known data is much less than that of the unknowns (meshes). Recalling that binary mixtures like two-phase flows consist of only two substances with distinct electrical conductivities, this work adopts the PSO algorithm for mesh grouping to reduce the number of unknowns. In order to verify the enhanced performance of the proposed method, several numerical tests are performed. The comparison between the proposed algorithm and conventional Gauss-Newton method shows significant improvements in the quality of reconstructed images.

A three-dimensional aerodynamic shape optimization technique in inviscid compressible flows is developed by using a parallel continuous adjoint formulation on unstructured meshes. A new surface mesh modification method is proposed to overcome difficulties related to patch-level remeshing for unstructured meshes, and the effect of design sections on aerodynamic shape optimization is examined. Applications are made to three-dimensional wave drag minimization problems including an ONERA M6 wing and the EGLIN wing-pylon-store configuration. The results show that the present method is robust and highly efficient for the shape optimization of aerodynamic configurations, independent of the number of design variables used.
