As industry is developed, the faster transportation of freight train is demanded. The optimum design of a structure requires the determination of economical member size and shape of a structure which will satisfy the design conditions and the functions. In this study, it is attempted to minimize the dead weight of bogie frame. From the numerical results in the shape and size optimization of the bogie frame, it is known that the weight can be reduced up to 17.45% with the displacement, stress, first natural frequency and critical buckling-load constraints. The first natural frequency and the critical buckling load of the optimized model is larger than that of the lowest design value. Stress and displacement conditions are also satisfied within the design conditions. From the results, the optimal model is stable and useful for the improvement of railway carriages.

This paper optimizes the optical flying head(OFH) suspension using the integrated optimization frame, which automatically integrates the analysis with the optimization and effectively implements the repetitive works between them. The problem formulation for the optimization is suggested to improve the dynamic compliance of OFH and to shift the resonant frequencies caused tracking errors to high frequency domain. Furthermore, the minimization of the effective suspension mass that leads to decrease the so-called 'lift-off' as the disk-head separation acceleration divided by the suspension load is taken into consideration. In particular, this study is carried out the optimal design considering the process of modes tracking through the entire optimization processes. The advanced suspension that reduces the effective mass of the suspension and increases the resonant frequencies of sway and $2^{nd}$ torsion over 10kHz is achieved by using the integrated optimization frame.

This paper summarizes available literature on the optimization of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The objective of optimization (e.g. minimum cost or weight), the design variables and the constraints considered by different studies vary widely and therefore, different optimization methods have been employed to provide the optimal design of RC beams, whether as isolated structural components or as part of a structural frame. The review of literature suggests that nonlinear deterministic approaches can be efficiently employed to provide optimal design of RC beams, given the small number of variables. This paper also presents spreadsheet implementation of cost optimization of RC beams in the familiar MS Excel environment to illustrate the efficiency of the exhaustive enumeration method for such small discrete search spaces and to promote its use by engineers and researchers. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis is performed on the contribution of various design parameters to the variability of the overall cost of RC beams.

Dynamic behavior of high speed train is very important because the high speed train should be safe and satisfied with the ride comfort. An eddy current brake system is mounted on trailer bogie and wheelset. The eddy current braking force longitudinally exerts on the articulated trailer bogie and the attraction force vertically exerts on the wheelset. Because a frame of eddy current brake system is flexible, these forces generate the vertical vibration at middle point of the frame. Also, the vibration change the vertical clearance between an electromagnet and top of rail which affect the magnitude of braking and attracting forces. Therefore, the dynamic behavior of the eddy current braking system must be predicted for design the dynamic characteristic of its mounting system when normally operate on rail which have irregularity. Vampire program is used for prediction of the dynamic behavior of an eddy current braking system. Five design variables and five performance index are considered for optimization through D-optimal experimental design in this paper. Also model center is used to search the optimal point for sum of performance index with variational matric method.

알고리즘의 용이성과 전역적 최적해로의 수렴가능성 등의 이점을 가진 SA알고리즘은 구조최적화문제에 활발하게 적용되고 있으나 냉각스케줄의 설정, 모호한 종료기준, 과도한 반복해석 등의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 기존 SA알고리즘의 단점을 보완한 MSA 알고리즘을 개발하고자한다. MSA 알고리즘은 수렴에 요구되는 반복수를 감소시키고 국부최소점이 많은 동적최적화문제의 초기설계 선택의 자율성을 확보하기 위하여 SQ 및 SA의 2단계로 구성하여 개발하였다. 또한 기존 연구에서 제안된 냉각 스케줄에 의한 수렴성 등을 비교분석하여 구조최적화에 적합한 냉각스케줄을 제안하여 그 성능을 평면가새골조 구조물의 최적내진설계에 적용하여 분석하였다.

오늘날 자전거는 레저용으로 각 회사에서 다양화되고 있다. 각 자전거 메이커로부터 다품종의 자전거가 판매되고 있지만, 구매자가 그 중에서 자신의 신체에 적합한 자전거의 정보를 얻는 것은 쉬운 것은 아니다. 따라서 대부분 구매자의 신체치수를 이용하여 자전거를 구매하고 있다. 이와 같은 방법을 이용하는 것은 표준 신체치수에 의하여 자전거의 치수를 결정하는 방법이다. 그러나 이 방법에 의하여 자전거를 구입하였을 경우 구매자의 신체에 적합한 자전거라고 볼 수가 없다. 본 연구에서는 구매자가 직접 본인의 신체에 맞도록 최적 설계시스템을 조절하여 자전거를 설계한다. 그리고 퍼지제어기를 이용한 주행 시험 장치에서 주행시험을 한다. 그 결과를 이용하여 구매자의 신체에 적합한 자전거인가를 판단할 수 있는 최적 자전거 설계시스템을 연구한 것이다.

The major effective factors on the ride quality of a vehicle are the vibration and noise of the engine and drive system. Engine contributes about 80% of the vibration and noise in the vehicle, and exciting forces of the engine are transmitted onto the vehicle frame through the engine mount. This paper studies the vibration reduction of a vehicle through the improvement of the engine mount. A computer program for optimal design is developed and the engine mount conditions are optimized to reduce the WRMS of PSD of acceleration at the driver's seat, which are caused by the exciting forces at the idle speed. Design variables are selected as the stiffness, mount angle and the location of the engine mount rubber. It is shown through computer simulation that the PSD of acceleration at the driver's seat can be improved by redesigning the engine mount system.

An optimal design method in cooperated with nonlinear inelastic analysis method is presented. The proposed nonlinear inelastic method overcomes the difficulties due to incompatibility between the elastic global analysis and the limit state member design in the conventional LRFD method. The genetic algorithm uses a procedure based on Darwinian notions of survival of the fittest, where selection, crossover, and mutation operators are used among sections in the database to look for high performance ones. They satisfy the constraint functions and give the lightest weight to the structure. The objective function is set to the total weight of the steel structure and the constraint functions are load-carrying capacities, serviceability, and ductility requirement. Case studies of a three-dimensional frame and a three-dimensional steel arch bridge are presented.

Based on the design requirements(size, strength, structure, weight, and etc.) for the rubber-tired AGT vehicle, carbody made of aluminum alloy is designed. The analysis of strength and stiffness is performed in the designed carbody, which results in the modification for optimal shapes and structures. It consists of a under frame, side frame, roof frame, end frame and forehead frame. After the carbody manufactured, tests are performed, which are vertical load test, longitudinal compressive load test, twisting load test, twisting natural frequency measurement, bending natural frequency measurement and 3 points supporting test. Results of them can guarantee a structural safety.
