The emphasis of this paper is to find out the changes in length of nose in line with speed improvement and changes of the tendency in the shape of the nose in line with time series based on the Shinkansen vehicle. The length of the nose on the lines of high speed tends to get longer, however there is no proportion between the speed and the nose according to optimal design that was designed to reduce micro-pressure wave and air resistance. The Shinkansen vehicles, according to the shape, can be classified in to an Advanced Paraboloid shape, a Sharp-nosed shape, a Flat-nosed shape and an Organic Double-edged shape and is gradually changing in the trend of diversity and distinction. Hereafter, the design of the nose will be developed better into the design that will comprehend identity of manufacturer, region and culture on the basis of optimized aerodynamic shape.

This study was conducted to choose optimal distribution and to estimate properly parameters for the derivation of design rainfall in Gamma Family. Design rainfall derived by Gamma Family Distributions were compared by the Relative Mean Errors(RME) and Relative Absolute Errors(RAE) for the consecutive durations of 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 72hr and 65 regions all over the regions except Cheju and Wulreung islands in Korea. Consequently, Design rainfall derived by Indirect Method of Moments in the Log-Pearson Type 3 distribution are seemed to be more reasonable than those of other distributions in Gamma Family.

In this paper, ATM network congestion control with explicit rate feedback is considered. In ATM networks, delays commonly appear in data transmission and have to be considered in congestion control design. In this paper, a bounded single round delay on the return path is considered. Our objective is to design an explicit rate feedback control that achieves a robust optimal $H_2$ performance regardless of the bounded time-varying delays. An optimization approach in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is given. Saturation in source rate and queue buffer is also taken into consideration in the proposed design. Simulations for the cases of single source and multiple sources are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the design.

The problems of mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ filtering design fer continuous and discrete time linear systems with time delay are investigated. The main purpose is to design a stable mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ filter which minimizes the H$_2$Performance measure satisfying a prescribed H$_{\infty}$ norm bound on the closed loop system in continuous-time case and discrete-time case, respectively. The sufficient conditions of existence of filter, the mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ filter design method, and the upper bound of performance measure are proposed by LMI(linear matrix inequality) techniques in terms of all finding variables. Also, we present optimization problems in order to get the optimal mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ filter in continuous and discrete time case, respectively.

Through the AUTOSAR methodology, the embedded software shall become more flexible, reusable, maintainable than ever. However, it is not mentioned about specific timing constraints of software components in AUTOSAR. There are a few basic principles for mapping runnable entities. At this point, AUTOSAR software design with optimal scheduling method is one of the enabling technologies in vehicle embedded system. This paper presents an approach based on mapping runnable entities and task scheduling design method for EPS (Electric Power Steering) software components, based on AUTOSAR. In addition, the experimental results of concurrent simulation show that the proposed scheduling technique and timing synchronization in the software component design can achieve the improved torque ripple performance and it well suited for EPS application software.

Uncertainties in loads, materials and manufacturing quality must be considered during electromagnetic devices design. This paper presents an effective methodology for robust optimization design based on the variance decomposition in order to keep higher accuracy of the robustness prediction. Sobol' theory is employed to estimate the response variance under some specific tolerance in design variables. Then, an optimal design is obtained by adding a criterion of response variance upon typical optimization problems as a constraint of the optimization. The main contribution of this paper is that the proposed method applies the variance decomposition to obtain a more accurate variance of the response, as well save the computational cost. The performance and robustness of the proposed algorithms are investigated through a numerical experiment with both an analytic function and the TEAM 22 problem.

In this study, I-type girders used as main members of a two span continuous steel bridge, are optimally designed by a Load and Resistance Factor Design method(LRFD) using an numerical optimization method. The width, height web thickness and flange thickness of the main girder are set as design variables, and light weight design is attempted by choosing the cross-sectional area as an object function. The main program is coded with C++ and connected with optimization modul ADS, which is coded with FORTRAN. The results of the program show that the stress constraints of noncomposite section during the initial construction stage become active in the positive moment area and the service limit state constaints become active in the negative moment area.

On this study. we improved the efficiency applying algorithm that is repeatedly using orthogonal array in discrete design space and filling a defect of gradient method in continuous design space. we showed optimal ply angle that maximized buckling strength of CFRP laminated composite plate without a hole and with a hole by each aspect ratio. In the case of CFRP laminated composite plate without a hole, we confirmed the reliance and efficiency of algorithm in comparison with the result optimization achievement repeatedly using statistical orthogonal array of experimental design.

The optimum design of a structure requires to determine economical member size and shape of a structure which satisfies the design conditions and functions. In this study, it is attempted to minimize a dead weight of the bogie frame. Therefore, shape optimization is performed for a bolster rib at first and then size optimization for the thickness of top and bottom plate. For the efficient reduction of a weight of a bogie frame, various ellipses centered at a centroid of a bolster rib are made and tried. For the shape optimization, a major axis and an eccentricity of an ellipse are chosen as design variables. From the numerical results of shape and size optimization of a bogie frame, it is known that the weight can be reduced up to 12.476 Y4717.21 kg) with displacement and stress constraints.

Nowadays, hollow upper-shaft of monobloc type has been considered for weight reduction and high quality in the automobile industry. To form the upper-shaft under tube cold extrusion, Taguchi method is applied to optimize the die design in this study. Taguchi method for optimum die design is to establish the optimal combination of design parameters and to reduce a number of experiments. Effect of parameters including the die relief, mandrel, die half angle is investigated and analyzed based on FEA analysis using a FEM commercial software MSC_Marc. Furthermore extrusion experiments have been performed to verify the results investigated in the FEM simulations.
