공학적 시스템 최적설계의 가장 중요한 과정은 설계변수와 시스템 응답과의 관계를 파악하는 것이다. 시스템 최적화의 경우 반응표면법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 반응표면법의 최적화 과정은 대표적인 후보대안을 이용하여 설계공간을 구성하고, 설정된 설계 공간에서 설계 최적점을 찾는다. 설계공간의 구성에 따라 최적점이 변화되므로 합리적인 최적점을 찾기 위해서는 설계공간의 구성이 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 설계변수와 시스템응답의 관계를 신경반응표면을 이용하여 설계공간을 구성하고, 구성된 설계 공간 안에서 다목적유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 최적 형상을 예측 할 수 있는 '신경반응표면을 이용한 공학 구조물 설계 프레임워크 구축'을 시도하였다. 구축된 프레임워크의 유용성을 확인하기 위해 비선형 수학함수 문제를 적용하였다. 구축된 프레임워크를 통해 공학문제의 최적화 과정에서 시간의 제약을 해결하고, 효과적인 최적설계가 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다. 향후에는 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 실제 조선해양공학 최적화 문제에 적용을 시도할 것이다.

The geometry of engineering systems affects their performances. For this reason, the shape of engineering systems needs to be optimized in the initial design stage. However, engineering system design problems consist of multi-objective optimization and the performance analysis using commercial code or numerical analysis is generally time-consuming. To solve these problems, many engineers perform the optimization using the approximation model (response surface). The Response Surface Method (RSM) is generally used to predict the system performance in engineering research field, but RSM presents some prediction errors for highly nonlinear systems. The major objective of this research is to establish an optimal design method for multi-objective problems and confirm its applicability. The proposed process is composed of three parts: definition of geometry, generation of response surface, and optimization process. To reduce the time for performance analysis and minimize the prediction errors, the approximation model is generated using the Backpropagation Artificial Neural Network (BPANN) which is considered as Neuro-Response Surface Method (NRSM). The optimization is done for the generated response surface by non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II). Through case studies of marine system and ship structure (substructure of floating offshore wind turbine considering hydrodynamics performances and bulk carrier bottom stiffened panels considering structure performance), we have confirmed the applicability of the proposed method for multi-objective side constraint optimization problems.

Engineering system problems consist of multi-objective optimisation and the performance analysis is generally time consuming. To optimise the system concerning its performance, many researchers perform the optimisation using an approximation model. The Response Surface Method (RSM) is usually used to predict the system performance in many research fields, but it shows prediction errors for highly nonlinear problems. To create an appropriate metamodel for marine systems, Lee (2015) compares the prediction accuracy of the approximation model, and multi-objective optimal design framework is proposed based on a confirmed approximation model. The proposed framework is composed of three parts: definition of geometry, generation of approximation model, and optimisation. The major objective of this paper is to confirm the applicability/usability of the proposed optimal design framework and evaluate the prediction accuracy based on sensitivity analysis. We have evaluated the proposed framework applicability in derrick structure optimisation considering its structural performance.
