In this paper, PMPG (Piezoelectric Micro Power Generator) was investigated by ANSYS FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to decrease operating frequency and improve out power. The micro power generator was designed to convert ambient vibration energy to electrical power as a ZnO piezoelectric material. To find optimal model in low vibration ambient, the shape of power generator was changed with different membrane width, thickness, length, and proof mass size. Used the ANSYS modal analysis, bending mode and stress distribution of optimal model were analyzed. Also, the displacement with the frequency range was analyzed by harmonic analysis. From the simulation results, the resonance frequency of optimal model is about 373 Hz and confirmed the possibility of ZnO micro power generator for wireless sensor node applications.

On the premise of ensuring that the static performance of the concrete spreader is met, the first-order natural frequency of the concrete spreader is increased, and the weight of the main beam is reduced. ANSYS is used as an analysis tool to perform modal analysis on the concrete spreader. The natural frequency, mode shape and modal test verification will be obtained to ensure the accuracy of finite element model analysis. Using the ANSYS designxplorer module, the size of the main beam is set, and the response surface model between the parameter variables and the optimization objective is established according to the experimental design points. Screening algorithm and MOGA algorithm are used to multi-optimize the stress, first-order natural frequency and girder weight, and the optimal solution is obtained by comparison. The results of modal analysis are consistent with those of the experiment, and a set of optimal solutions is obtained through the optimization algorithm. The optimal solution obtained can meet the purpose of increasing the first-order natural frequency of the concrete spreader and reducing the weight of the main beam under the premise of ensuring the overall dynamic and static performance of the concrete spreader.

A study was conducted to investigate an optimal vibration frequency for mobile phones with just noticeable difference(JND). The just noticeable difference, Weber's law, is the minimum amount by which stimulus intensity must be changed in order to produce a noticeable variation in sensory experience. In order to find the optimal vibration frequency, sixteen frequencies ranged from 24Hz to 603Hz were selected. Subjects then wereasked to differentiate a pair of vibration frequencies. For the analysis, the psychometric function to determine the optimal vibration frequency and the logistic regression to validate the determined frequency were used. The results show that the 2nd order polynomial equations were best fitted for the JND psychometric function and the optimal mobile phone vibrations were determined at 140Hz, 151 Hz, and 160Hz. With the ogive-shaped psychometric function developed by the logistic regression, the results of this study was validated that the determined vibration frequencies (140Hz, 151 Hz, and 160Hz) were optimal mobile phone vibration frequencies.

This paper presents an optimal design of the slim type high frequency transformer used in the LLC DC to DC resonant converter for 65-inch UHD-TV with the rated power of 315W. This paper also performs an optimal design of the slim type high frequency through core loss analysis, AC winding loss analysis, and optimization design of the winding arrangement of the LLC resonant transformer. Particularly, the high-efficiency and slim type high frequency transformer based on the obtained results from theoretical analysis in this paper is constructed in the interleaved and vertical winding structures of its transformer to realize the winding method of automatic type and minimize AC winding loss. The primary and secondary windings of the slim type high frequency transformer the vertical winding structure proposed in this paper used the Litz-wire windings, PCB and copper plate windings, respectively. Finally, an optimal design of the slim type high frequency transformer proposed in this paper was carried out through the experimental results to confirm the validity of theoretical analysis based on the simulation results using Maxwell 2D and 3D tool.

This paper presents an optimal design process using beads on a body panel to improve interior noise of a passenger vehicle. Except modification of structural members, it is difficult to find effective countermeasures that can work for the intermediate frequency range from 100 Hz to 300 Hz which lies between the booming and low medium frequency. In this study, it is a major goal to find additional counter-measures for this intermediate frequency range by performing optimal design of beads on body panels. The proposed method for design optimization consists of 4 sub-steps, that is, a) problem definition, b) cause analysis, c) countermeasure development and d) validation. The objective function is minimization of interior noise level. The major design variables are the geometrical shape of a bead and combination of beads on the critical panels. Sensitivity analysis and optimization are performed according to the predefined process for an optimal design. It is verified that the proposed design decreases the level of noise transfer function above 5 dB.

This study performed numerical analysis for obtaining optimal frequency and damping ratio of tuned mass damper (TMD) using 20 seismic loads measured at rock site. The structures of $1{\sim}2$ second natural period were considered, and optimal frequency and damping ratio were estimated for different mass ratio in terms of displacement and absolute acceleration response control. Numerical results showed that the values of the optimal parameters were different those from previous study by Hartog.

Structural optimization involves a large number of structural analyses. When optimizing large structures, these analyses require a considerable amount of computational time and effort. However, there are specific types of structure for which the results of the analysis can be achieved in a much simpler and quicker way thanks to their special repetitive patterns. In this paper, frequency constraint optimization of cyclically repeated space trusses is considered. An efficient technique is used to decompose the large initial eigenproblem into several smaller ones and thus to decrease the required computational time significantly. Some examples are presented in order to illustrate the efficiency of the presented method.
