This paper presents a tool called Quality-Cost optimization system (QCOS), which integrates Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD), for tradeoff between quality and cost of the unitized metal curtain-wall unit. A construction owner as the external customer pursues to maximize the quality of the curtain-wall unit. However, the contractor as the internal customer pursues to minimize the cost involved in designing, manufacturing and installing the curtain-wall unit. It is crucial for project manager to find the tradeoff point which satisfies the conflicting interests pursued by the both parties. The system would be beneficial to establish a quality plan satisfying the both parties. Survey questionnaires were administered to the construction owner who has an experience of curtain-wall project, the architects who are the independent assessor, and the contractors who were involved in curtain-wall design and installation. The Customer Requirements (CRs) and their importance weights, the relationship between CRs and Technical Attributes (TAs) consisting of a curtain-wall unit, and the cost ratios of each components consisting curtain-wall unit are obtained from the three groups mentioned previously. The data obtained from the surveys were used as the QFD input to compute the Owner Satisfaction (OS) and Contractor Satisfaction (CS). MOGA is applied to optimize resource allocation under limited budget when multi-objectives, OS and CS, are pursued at the same time. The deterministic multi-objective optimization method using MOGA and QFD is extended to stochastic model to better deal with the uncertainties of QFD input and the variability of QFD output. A case study demonstrates the system and verifies the system conformance.

A mathematical definition of the cluster is suggested. A nonlinear 0-1 integer programming formulation for the multi-dimensional entity clustering problem is developed. A heuristic method named MDEC (Multi-Dimensional Entity Clustering) using centroids and the binary partition is developed and the numerical examples are shown. This method has an advantage of providing bottle-neck entity informations.

This paper presents a design procedure of engine power system for vehicle. The implementation and operation environment of engine plant is somewhat diversed through the various kind of vehicles. Regarding this point, we adopt a multi-purposed design objective function which can be easily modified to reflect diverse mount design rules which have been recommended and used generally by relating fields. To search the mount parameters which provide the optimal performance, a direct search method based on an orthogonal array is developed and applied. Through several simulated results, the effectiveness of the developed disign tool is investigated and discussed.

This paper presents a review on getting a Weighted Multi-Objective Optimization (WMO) of Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) parameters based on Response Surface Methodology (RSM) coupled central composite design and Weighted Desirability Function (WDF) to attenuate the earthquake vibration of a jacket supported Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT). To optimize the parameters (stiffness and damping coefficient) of damper, the frequency ratio and damping ratio were considered as a design variable and the top displacement and frequency response were considered as objective functions. The optimization has been carried out under only El Centro earthquake results and after obtained the optimal parameters, more two earthquakes (California and Northridge) has been performed to investigate the performance of optimal damper. The obtained results also compared with the different conventional TMD's designed by Den Hartog's, Sadek et al.'s and Warburton's method. From the results, it was found that the optimal TMD based on RSM shows better response than the conventional damper. It is concluded that the proposed response model offers an efficient approach regarding the TMD optimization.

The methods of robust design optimization (RDO) and reliability-based robust design optimization (RBRDO) were implemented in the present study. RBRDO is an integrated method that accounts for the design robustness of an objective function and for the reliability of constraints. The objective function in RBRDO is expressed in terms of the mean and standard deviation of an original objective function. Thus, a multi-objective formulation is employed. The regressive approximate models are generated via the moving least squares method (MLSM) and constraint-feasible moving least squares method (CF-MLSM), which make it possible to realize the feasibility regardless of the multimodality/nonlinearity of the constraint function during the approximate optimization processes. The regression model based RBRDO is newly devised and its numerical characteristics are explored using the design of an actively controlled ten bar truss structure.

In order to reduce the time and costs of improving the performance of vehicle suspensions, the techniques for optimizing damping and air spring characteristic were proposed. A full vehicle model for a bus is constructed with a car body, front and rear suspension linkages, air springs, dampers, tires, and a steering system. An air spring and a damper are modeled with nonlinear characteristics using experimental data and a curve fitting technique. The objective function for ride quality is WRMS (Weighted RMS) of the power spectral density of the vertical acceleration at the driver's seat, middle seat and rear seat. The objective function for handling performance is the RMS (Root Mean Squares) of the roll angle, roll rate, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration at the center of gravity of a body during a lane change. The design variables are determined by damping coefficients, damping exponents and curve fitting parameters of air spring characteristic curves. The Taguchi method is used in order to investigate sensitivity of design variables. Since ride and handling performances are mutually conflicting characteristics, the validity of the developed optimum design procedure is demonstrated by comparing the trends of ride and handling performance indices with respect to the ratio of weighting factors. The global criterion method is proposed to obtain the solution of multi-objective optimization problem.

본 연구는 다목적 유전자알고리즘을 이용하여 Tank 모형의 매개변수를 추정하는데 있어서 선호적순서화(preference ordering)를 적용한 연구로써, 목적함수의 개수가 여러 개인 경우에 발생할 수 있는 파레토최적화의 단점을 해결하기 위한 것이다. 최적화를 위한 목적함수는 모두 4가지를 사용하였으며, 선호적순서화를 통해서 구한 2차 효율성(2nd order efficiency)을 가지면서 정도(degree)가 3인 4개의 해 중에서 1개의 해만을 최우선해로 선정하였다. NSGA-II로 도출된 최우선해의 적합성을 살펴보기 위해서, 자동보정방법인 Powell 방법과 SGA(simple genetic algorithm)를 매개변수 자동보정 방법으로 이용하고 하나의 단일목적함수로 사용해서 최적화한 결과와 비교해보았으며, 비교결과 다목적 유전자 알고리즘을 4개의 목적함수에 모두 적용해서 한번에 도출된 매개변수를 이용한 결과가 보정기간뿐만 아니라 검정기간에 대해서도 비교적 양호한 결과를 나타내는 것으로 나타났다.

일 단위 강우-유출 모형인 SIMHYD와 TANK를 소양강댐과 영천댐 유역에 적용하여 유출을 예측하였다. 7개의 매개변수를 가진 SIMHYD와 17개의 변수를 가진 TANK모형을 국내 유역에 적용하여 모형의 적용성을 비교 평가하였다. 두 모형에 세 가지 목적함수를 달리하여 세 가지의 최적화 방법(유전자 알고리즘, Pattern Search MUlti-Start, Shuffled Complex Evolution Algorithm)을 적용하여 모형과 목적함수에 따른 관측 유출량에 대한 모의유출량의 모의 효율을 비교하였다. TANK모형의 모의 효율이 SIMHYD 모형의 모의 효율에 비해 높게 나타났다. 목적함수를 달리할 경우는 무차원 함수인 Nash-Sutcliffe 계수를 비교하는 것이 모델의 적용성을 평가하는데 적합한 것으로 평가되었다.

This paper describes the optimization problem of real power rescheduling and present an algorithm based linear programming for studying the load-shedding and generation reallocation problem when a portion of the transmission system is disabled and at power flow solution cannot be obtained for the overload of some lines. And in case initial is infeasible, solution could not be converge. So this paper gives an algorithm being lie infeasible quantities within limit. The paper describes a LP-based algorithm to obtain the solution in power dispatch related to overload situations in power system and it is easily extened under various objective. The optimization procedures is based in linear programming with bounded variables and use the multi-segment curve method for a objective function and the validity of the algorithm is verified with two examples : 10-bus system and 57-bus system.

본 연구에서 역해석에 이용한 직접법은 실제 변위와 목적함수의 차이를 최소화하고 미지변수를 보정하는 최적화가 핵심 과정이다. 연구과정이 복수의 지층을 단계별로 역해석하여 각 지반의 미지변수를 역해석하기 때문에 지층 간 미지변수의 간섭 효과를 최소화 할 수 있는 추가적인 최적화가 필요하다. 따라서 효율적이고 정확한 최적화를 위해서 목적함수의 편미분 계산과정이 없이 최적해를 구할 수 있는 직접탐색법(direct search method)을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 지하구조체가 포함된 지층을 상부와 하부의 지층으로 모형화하고, 다중 미지변수를 역해석하는 기법을 개발하는 데에 목적을 둔다. 또한 단계별 역해석된 미지변수의 상호 간섭 오차를 최소화하기 위해서 반복 역해석을 실시하고, 실제 존재하는 터널에 대하여 적용성에 대해 검토하였다. 그 결과, 단층 모형화보다 다층 모형화 결과가 실제 지하구조물거동을 정확히 나타냈으며 다층 경계부에 위치한 지하구조물의 다층지반 모형화를 통한 역해석이 유효함을 확인하였다.
