Many algorithms to find a minimum cost design of water distribution network (WDN) have been developed during the last decades. Most of them have tried to optimize cost only while satisfying other constraining conditions. For this, a certain degree of simplification is required in their calculation process which inevitably limits the real application of the algorithms, especially, to large networks. In this paper, an optimum design method using the Genetic Algorithms (GA) is developed which is designed to increase the applicability, especially for the real world large WDN. The increased to applicability is due to the inherent characteristics of GA consisting of selection, reproduction, crossover and mutation. Just for illustration, the GA method is applied to find an optimal solution of the New York City water supply tunnel. For the calculation, the parameter of population size and generation number is fixed to 100 and the probability of crossover is 0.7, the probability of mutation is 0.01. The yielded optimal design is found to be superior to the least cost design obtained from the Linear Program method by $4.276 million.

In case of the optimization problems that have many design variables, the conventional genetic algorithms(GA) fall into a trap of local minima with high probability. This problem is called the premature convergence problem. To overcome it, the parallel genetic algorithms which adopt the migration mechanism have been suggested. But it is hard to determine the several parameters such as the migration size and the migration interval for the parallel GAs. Therefore, we propose a new method to determine the migration interval automatically in this paper. To verify its validity, it is applied to some traditional mathematical optimization problems and is compared with the conventional parallel GA. It is also applied to the optimal design of the brushless DC motor for an electric wheel chair which is a real world problem and has five design variables.

To Establish of standard technique of length measurent in 2D plane, we develope AFM system. The XY scanner scans the sample only in XY plane, while the Z scanner scans the specimen only in Z-direction. Cantilever tip is controlled to has constant height relative to speciman surface by feedback of PSPD signal. To acquire high accuracy, Z-axis measuring sensor will be added.(COXI or others). In this paper we design XYZ stage suitable for this AEM system. For XY stage, single module parallel-kinnematic flexure stage is used which has high orthogonality and minimum out-of-plane motion. To obtain best performance optimal design is performed. For XY stage, to be robust about parasitic motion optimal design of maximizing Z and tilt stiffness is performed under the constraint of motion range and stage size. And for Z stage, optimal design of maximizing 1st resonant frequency is performed. Because if resonant frequency is get higher, scan speed is improved. So it makes reduce the error by sensor drift. Resultly XYZ stage each have 1st natural frequency of 115㎐, 201㎐, 2.66㎑ and range 109㎛, 110㎛, 12㎛.

국내 송 배수 시스템은 산지가 많은 지형적 특성을 이용하여 송수펌프를 통해 고지대에 위치한 배수지에 용수를 저장한 후, 급수구역으로 자연유하방식으로 배수하는 방식을 사용한다. 이 과정에서 송수펌프 운영에 많은 전기 에너지가 소모되며, 이는 전체 상수관망 시스템 운영에서 가장 큰 비중을 차지하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 송수펌프의 적정 용량과 운영방법은 하류단에 위치한 배수지의 크기에 영향을 받게 되므로 송, 배수 시스템의 경제적인 설계와 안정적인 운영을 위해서는 초기 시설물의 규모 결정 단계에서 송수펌프 및 배수지의 건설비용과 송수펌프의 장기간 운영비용을 함께 고려하는 것이 타당하다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 최적화 기법인 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm, GA)을 활용하여 송수펌프와 배수지의 최적규모와 송수펌프의 운영스케줄링을 동시에 최적화 할 수 있는 모형을 개발하였다. 개발 모형은 국내에서 운영 중인 송 배수시스템에 적용하여 검증을 실시하였다. 본 연구는 송 배수시스템의 초기 설계에 있어 송수펌프와 배수지의 최적규모 산정에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.

In the production process, the buffer acts as a buffer to alleviate some of the problems such as delays in delivery and process control failures in unexpected situations. Determining the optimal buffer size can contribute to system performance, such as increased output and resource utilization. However, there are difficulties in allocating the optimal buffer due to the complexity of the process or the increase in the number of variables. Therefore, the purpose of this research is proposing an optimal buffer allocation that maximizes throughput. First step is to design the production process to carry out the research. The second step is to maximize the throughput through the harmony search algorithm and to find the buffer capacity that minimizes the lead time. To verify the efficiency, comparing the ratio of the total increase in throughput to the total increase in buffer capacity.

생산지로부터 LNG 선박으로 수송되어 각 생산기지의 저장탱크로 저장되는 액화천연가스 (LNG; Liquified Natural Gas)는 극저은인 Boiling Point보다 약간 낮은 온도 ($-162^{\circ}C$)로 전송된다. LNG 전송은 배관을 통하여 이루어지며, 이로 인하여 배관 내에는 2상 유동 (2-Phase Flow)이 자주 형성된다. 본 연구에서는 일차적으로 이러한 배관내의 2상 유동대한 압력강하량 계산법을 연구하였고, 단열재와 배관 표면을 통한 외부 열유입량과 그에 따른 BOG (Boil-off Gas) 발생량 계산 방법을 연구하여, 이들을 기반으로 LNG 배관시스템의 열유동 해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 또한 본 연구 및 프로그램 개발을 토대로 최적의 단열재 두께와 배관 Size를 구할 수 있는 최적 설계 프로그램을 구축하였다. 이는 배관설계 시 주어진 최대 허용 압력 강하량과 BOG 발생량 등의 허용 운전 조건과, 단위 길이 당 배관가격과 단위 부피당 단열재가격을 기준으로 허용 범위 내의 최소 설비 비용을 찾는 최적 설계 방법이다.

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.

This paper is presented for the development of the brushless DC(BLDC) motor for the spindle motor of hard disk drives. To design the spindle motors for HDD, it is very important to consider the reduction of vibration and noises. To design the each parts and investigate the assemble of a motor, we need to calculate the press force and size variation according to the press force. If we design the each parts without the consideration of the size variation, we can not get good result of assemble and performance with exact size of parts. In this paper, we get the computer simulation results to verify optimal size and assemble.

Optimal duct design of a HVAC system requires analysis technology to accurately evaluate its pressure losses, flow rate and velocity for making a compromised design among fan capacity and duct size affecting initial manufacturing and operation costs, and noise induced by the HVAC system. In this paper, we carry out initial duct design using the equal friction method. Using the result, the T-method is applied for accurate analysis of flow rate. Then, the duct size is modified using the difference between the required and the calculated flow rate, which can guarantee required flow rate, reduce the pressure unbalance among duct paths and lead to select optimal fan performance. To verify the validity and effectiveness of the proposed design method, an example for HVAC system design including noise analysis is demonstrated.

Althouah there have been many attempts to control weld quality in resistance spot welding processes, design method for an on-line feedback controller based upon process dynamics has not been suggested. This is due to the fact that the resistance spot welding is a highly complicated process, whice involves the interaction of electrical, thermal, mechanical and metallurgical phenomena. In this paper, an optimal control method based on FDM model with shunt effect is presented, which can regulate the nugget size, at the same time minimizing the control heat input. Optimal PI gain of the controller were determined by numerical optimization. Simulation results show that, as a result of the proposed optimal control, the weld nugget can be made to approach a desired nugget size with less control heat input than that required for the conventional spot welding process in the face of the shunt effect.
