In this study, the weight and the connections type layout of low-rise eccentrically braced frame (EBF) have been optimized based on performance-based design method. For this purpose, two objective functions were defined based on two different aspects on rigid connections, in one of which minimization and in the other one, maximization of the number of rigid connections was considered. These two objective functions seek to increase the area under the pushover curve, in addition to the reduction of the weight and selection of the optimum connections type layout. The performance of these objective functions was investigated in optimal design of a three-story eccentrically braced frame, using two meta-heuristic algorithms: Enhanced Colliding Bodies Optimization (ECBO) and Enhanced Vibrating Particles System (EVPS). Then, the reliability indices of the optimal designs for both objective functions were calculated for the story lateral drift limits using Monte-Carlo Simulation (MCS) method. Based on the reliability assessment results of the optimal designs and taking the three levels of safety into account, the final designs were selected and their specifications were compared.

본 연구에서는 도시유역 우수관거 시스템의 근본적인 목적인 내수침수 방재 효과를 최대화하기 위하여 첨두유출량 최소화를 목적으로 하여 개발된 우수관망 최적설계 모형(이정호, 2010)[1]을 이용하여 실제 도시유역에 대하여 다양한 인공적인 강우 사상들을 적용하여 실제 강우 발생 시 첨두유출량 저감의 효과가 발생할 수 있을 것인가에 대하여 분석하였다. 분석에 적용된 강우사상은 첫째, 설계빈도에 해당하는 강우사상에 대하여 강우의 첨두치가 일정한 시간 간격을 두고 연속되어 발생하는 강우사상들에 대하여 모의하였다. 둘째, 일정한 강도의 강우가 연속적으로 발생하는 연속강우사상에 대하여 모의하였다. 분석 결과 강우의 첨두치가 연속되는 경우 또는 일정한 강도의 연속강우에 대해서도 최적 우수관망에서 첨두유출량이 저감되는 것으로 분석되었으며, 이것은 최적화된 우수관망이 시스템 내의 지체 현상에 따른 첨두유출량 감소가 아닌 관망 전체에서의 유입량의 적정 분배에 따른 것임을 나타낸다.

In the preliminary design stage of Prestressed Concrete (PSC) Box Girder Bridges, the design factors(including depth, thickness of web, and jacking force) decided by inexperience designer could heavily affect the final design factors. So there is a possibility that the design ends up with an excessively wasteful design. To aim at an economical design with preventing an excessive design, the optimal design program has been developed by using ADS optimal program and SPCFRAME(PSC Bridge analysis program) in these studies. The optimal design program automatically calculates economically optimized design studies. The optimal design program automatically calculates economically optimized design factors by introducing the optimal design techniques of PSC box girder bridge design. The objective function for optimal design is material cost of box girder and constrained functions are constituted with design specifications and workability. The optimal design techniques used the Sequential Unconstraint Minimization Technique (SUMT) with performing the optimal design program. In this study, We designed unprismatic section bridge and prismatic section bridge in the same design condition by optimal design program developed in this study. By analyzing the results we suggested the practical form of tendon's layout comparing the optimal desingns on the basis of each tendon's layout.

For performance and stability of a synchronized system, we need an efficient Clock Tree Synthesis(CTS) methodology to design clock distribution networks. In a system-on-a-chip(SOC) design environment, CTS effectively distributes clock signals from clock sources to synchronized points on layout design. In this paper, we suggest the pre-layout analysis of the clock network including gated clock, multiple clock, and test mode CTS optimization. This analysis can help to avoid design failure with potential CTS problems from logic designers and supply layout constraints so as to get an optimal clock distribution network. Our new design flow including pre-layout CTS analysis and structural violation checking also contributes to reduce design time significantly.

With the success of flexible manufacturing systems(FMSs), flexible assembly systems(FASs) have been developed to automatic factories further. As in a cellular FMS, a celluar FAS is considered as the most flexible and feasible assembly systems configuration. This paper presents a method for the integrated layout design in cellular FASs. Unlike the traditional paper, this paper deals with the formation of cells and the layout of cells for jobs with operation times on different machines. The procedure in this paper consists of two distinct phases. The first phase presents machine arrangement in a double rows flowline. cell formation not to allow intercellular movements, and integrated layout design in cellular FASs considering the characteristics of FAS, layout, and production factors This phase uses older optimal algorithm. The second phase proposes to balance the system with an objective of reducing the degree of workload deviation in the cells. Simulated annealing method is used to balance the system. This phase also shows the integrated layout design in cellular FASs with the cost less than total cost of the first phase.

Automotive and aircraft assembly process rely on fixtures to support and coordinate parts and subassemblies. Fixture layout in multi-station panel assemblies has a direct dimensional effect on final products and thus presents a quality problem. This paper describes a methodology for fixture layout design in multi -station assembly processes. An optimal fixture layout improves the robustness of a fixture system against environmental noises, reduces product variability, and eventually leads to manufacturing cost reduction. One of the difficulties raised by multi-station fixture layout design is the overwhelmingly large number of design alternatives. This makes it difficult to find a global optimality and, if an inefficient algorithm is used, may require prohibitive computing time. In this paper, simulated annealing is adopted and appropriate parameters are selected to find good fixture layouts. A four-station assembly process for a sport utility vehicle (SUV) side frame is used throughout the paper to illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of this methodology.

This study is to develop the interactive program for work-cell layout of SCAPA type robot using PC. To make the program interactively, we made use of the software which have the function of menu, dialog box, and graphic. By using the mouse, we can progress the program quickly and easily. It has 2 1/2 dimension and provides that one can layout the elements(robot, peripheral device, and etc.), create the work path, and calculate the robot cycle time. By comparing with cycle times of any number of work-cell layout for the same work, we can evaluate work-cell layout and select one work-cell layout to be considered optimal one which has the least cycle time.

우수관망의 최적 설계에 관한 기존의 연구 모형들은 설계강우에 대하여 관거의 연결, 관경 및 관 경사 등을 최소의 비용을 목적으로 최적화하여 왔다. 그런데 우수관망에서의 관거 내의 흐름은 관경, 관 경사와 특히 관망의 구성 형태에 따라서크게달라진다. 기존의최적우수관망설계모형들은설계유량을만족시키는것에국한되었으며, 설계기준을초과하는 강우에 따른 침수의 발생은 관망의 설계에 어떠한 고려도 되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 우수관망을 구성함에 있어서 관거 내 흐름을 분산시키고 제어함을 목적으로 한다. 이것은 관망 구성에 따른 관거 내 흐름의 중첩효과를 제어함으로써 가능하며, 이러한 흐름의 제어를 통하여 설계기준을 초과하는 강우에 대해서 우수관망에서의 내수침수 발생은 저감될 수 있다. 본 연구에의 최적 우수관망 설계 모형(Optimal Sewer Layout Model, OSLM)은 내수침수 발생을 저감시키기 위해 흐름의 중첩효과를 고려하여 관거 내 흐름을 분산시키고 제어하기 위하여 개발되었다. 이 모형은 최적화를 위하여 유전자알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm, GA)를 이용하였으며, 수리학적 분석을 위하여 SWMM(Storm Water Management Model)을 연계하였다. 모형의 적용은 유역면적 44 ha의 서울시 하계 배수분구에 이루어졌으며, 현재의 우수관망 구성에 대하여 도출된 최적 우수관망에서는 지속기간 30분의 설계강우에 대하여 7.1%의 유출구 첨두유출량 감소와 20년 빈도의 지속기간 1시간 초과강우에 대하여 24.2%의 침수 발생량 저감 효과를 나타내었다.
