In the literature the problem of the topology optimization of the structure is usually solved for one, clearly described from the mechanical point of view material. Generally the topology optimization answers the question of the distribution of this mentioned above material within the design domain. Finally, material-voids distribution it is obtained. In this paper, for the structure mainly strengthened or sometimes weakened by the inclusions, the variation approach of the topology optimization problem is formulated. This multi material approach may be useful for the design process of various mechanical or civil engineering structures which need to be more "refined" and more "optimal" than they can be using previous topology optimization procedures of optimization one material structures.

The vehicle market has developed environment-friendly vehicles to comply with fuel economy regulations and exhaust regulations that have become stricter and stricter over time. Many studies have been conducted to improve the travel performance and fuel economy of environment-friendly vehicles, and vehicle manufacturers have been studying how to manufacture light-weight vehicles in order to improve the fuel economy of both existing vehicles and the newer environment-friendly vehicles. Exemplary light-weight vehicle technologies optimizes the design of the vehicle body structure, which is a vehicle weight-reducing method that modifies component shapes or layouts to optimize the structure of the vehicle. In addition, the new process technology uses new light-weight and very strong materials, and not typical materials, to manufacture light-weight vehicles. This study aims at the optimal design of vehicle body structures using multi-materials for the Fender-Apron, which is an important frame member for the external front side of a vehicle body, by conducting FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and multi-material bonding.

In this paper, we present results of this that design of the multi-layer VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator), which is composed of the resonation circuit and the oscillation circuit, using EM simulator and nonlinear RF circuit simulator. EM simulator is used for acquiring EM(Electromagnetic) characteristics of conductor pattern as well as designing multi-layer VCO, Acquired EM characteristics of the circuit pattern was used like real components at nonlinear RF circuit simulator. Finally VCO is simulated at nonlinear RF circuit simulator. The material for the circuit pattern was Ag and the dielectric was DuPont #9599, which is applied for L TCC process. The structure is constructed with 4 conducting layer. Simulated results showed that the output level was about 1[dBm], the phase noise was 102 [dBc/Hz] at 30[kHz] offset frequency, the harmonics -8dBc, and the control voltage sensitivity of 30[MHz/V] with a DC current consumption of l0[mA]

This study aims to develop efficient composite laminates for buckling load enhancement, interlaminar shear stress minimization, and weight reduction. This goal is achieved through cover-skin lay-ups around skins and stiffeners, which amplify bending stiffness and defer delamination by means of effective stress distribution. The design problem is formulated as multi-objective optimization that maximizes buckling load capability while minimizing both maximum out-of-plane shear stress and panel weight. For efficient optimization, response surface methodology is employed for buckling load, two out-of-plane shear stresses, and panel weight with respect to one ply thickness, six fiber orientations of a skin, and four stiffener heights. Numerical results show that skin-covered composite stiffened panels can be devised for maximum buckling load and minimum interlaminar shear stresses under compressive load. In addition, the effects of different material properties are investigated and compared. The obtained results reveal that the composite stiffened panel with Kevlar material is the most effective design.

In this paper, a power divider with a multi-band and broadband are designed and fabricated using an InGaP/GaAs process. The design of this divider is based on multi-band because it is important in the next generation IMT-Advances system. In this design, power divider is fabricated with the frequency of 824 MHz to 894 MHz, 1.8 GHz to 2.2 GHz and 2.3 GHz to 2.4 GH for cellular, personal communication system (PCS) and Wireless Broadband Internet (WiBro). The topology of the designed power divider is based on the multi-section and fabricated using integrated passive device (IPD) library of nanoENS Inc. It is measured using network analyzer.

This paper addresses the facility layout problem in multi-bay environments, where the bays are connected at one or both ends by an inter-bay material handling system. In most previous studies, the main concern is to allocate facilities or departments to the bays whose widths are fixed. In this research, we suggest the efficient models that provide the optimal layout solution under flexible bay width environments. We also suggest a mathematical model that provides the optimal solution using two-way facility allocation approach instead of one-way allocation technique. This paper also shows the approach of TABU search to the assignment and layout design of the departments. The results generated from TABU search are compared to the result from the mathematical model. Models are developed using mixed integer programming for various test problems and solved by CPLEX.

As demand of light weight in the automotive industry has increased, the cowl cross member has been investigated using various methods to change the material. Conventionally, a cowl cross member has been made of steel and aluminum, but recently researchers tested multi-material such as aluminum and plastic. We studied a new model of the cowl cross member made of composite and non ferrous materials. For products with a high degree of freedom in design, generally, the method of topology optimization is advantageous and for the partial bracket part of the cowl cross member had a degree of freedom in the design, a topology optimization is appropriate. Considering the characteristics of the cowl cross members, we need research to minimize the weight while having the performance of noise, vibration and harshness(NVH). Taking the mounting status of the product into consideration, we used an assembly model to optimize the cowl cross member. But this method took too much time so we considered simple cowl cross member assemble conditions using the direct matrix input method(DMI) with the Craig-Bampton Nodal Method. This method is capable of considering the status of the assembly without assembling the model, which reduced the solving time and increased the accuracy comparison with a cowl cross member without DMI.

In the multi-pass shape drawing process, it is important to design the intermediate dies for producing sound products. Up to now, the design of the intermediate dies is mainly carried out by the industrial experts based on their experience. In this study, a design program was developed to design the intermediate dies for multi-pass shape drawing process. The program was programmed by using VisualLISP. In this program the intermediate dies can be designed by using the initial material shape and the final product shape. In order to verify the effectiveness, the program was applied to design the intermediate dies of multi-pass shape drawing for producing four teeth spline and gun slide. Finally, FE analysis and shape drawing experiment were performed to verify the effectiveness of the designed intermediate dies. As a result, it was possible to produce the drawn products with the required dimensional accuracy.

Optmal topology design is to search the optimal layout of the structure which can be used fot the shape of the conceptual design stage. Our objective is to maximize the stiffness of the structure under a material usage constraint. The density of each finite element is the design variable and its relationship with Young's modulus is expressed by quadratic form. The shape is represented by the entire density distribution, the structural analysis is performed by finite element method and the optimization is achieved by feasible direction method. Unlike optimality criteria method,feasible direction method can handle various problems simultaneously, that is, multi- objectives and multi-constraints. Total optimization time can be reduced by the approximation of the material property and fewer design variables than homogenization method. Topology optimization is applied to design the shape of ribs.
