In this study, the optimum structural modification of the L-type structure by shape changes is suggested. The vibration characteristics of L-type structure are analyzed by the sub-structure synthesis method, and the coordinte sensitivities of each sub-structure are calculated and the change quantities of the positions to be modified are suggested by using the coordinate sensitivities. The results obtained are as follows : 1. The sensitivities of the natural frequency could be calculated by the sensitivity analysis. 2. The change quantities of the position to be modified could be suggested by the optimum structural modification method. 3. The developed program could reduce the process and time of computation, since the sensitivity was directly calculated by differential method, not finite difference method.

It is very difficult to execute the vibration analysis of a huge strucutre, which takes up much time and expense. In this paper we intend to make the equivalent system of a local vibration system of a huge structure with a view to improving the dynamic characteristics and reducing time and expense. First of all, upper deck structure model is maded. And we perform the vibration analysis by the Substructure Synthesis Method and execute the exciting test for the upper deck structure model, and observe the coincidences of two results to confirm the reliability of the analyzing tools used. To make the equivalent system, we give boundary condition to sub-structure that want to be modified and execute the Sensitivity Analysis Method and the Optimum Structural Modification Method. And we execute the structural modification of the equivalent system.. The following can be found from this study. 1. The analytical results are generally coincident with each other. 2. The equivalent system of the superstructure model can be easily obtained using the sensitivity analysis metho and the optimum structural modification method. 3. The structural modification using the equivalent system can be obtained good results above 90% of object value.

In this paper, we propose a new gate modification method using the input vector maximizes the number of gates in WLS within the optimum range of the minimum leakage power. We prove that MLV is not always the optimal solution, and that the leakage power and area can decrease when modifying the gates using the input vector for which the number of gates in WLS is maximized within the optimum range of the minimum leakage power for the circuits applying the IVC technique and gate modification method. Using the proposed method, the gate-level description circuit can be converted to the modified circuit which reduces the leakage power by chip designer, and the modified circuit can be applied without any modification in design flow.

The objectiv of this paper is to offer the method of the optimum structural modification by fixing the stiffener on the structure. The vibrational characteristics of a open box type structure are analyzed by the sub-structure synthesis method and sensitivies of each sub-structure are calculated by sensitivity analysis method.

As the result, it was found that; (1) The sensitivites of the natural frequency could easily be calculated by the sensitivity analysis method and the optimum position to fix stiffeners could be found. (2) The exact size of stiffeners could be calculated by the optimum structural modification method and the natural frequency could be easily shifted to the objective value. (3) It could be confirmed that the stiffener is a effective tool for accomplishing structural modification.

Recently to develope an automobile with better properties, much researches and investments are executed in many countries. In this paper, the weight of an engine block intend to minimize without changing the natural frequency. The weight minimization of an engine block is started from much less initial thickness than original thickness of the model and performed by using the sensitive analysis method and the optimum structural modification method. It can be considered that the weight minimization is completed through this process, because the optimum structural modification method includes the constraint of minimum changing quantity.

This paper discusses the multi-level optimization method in dynamic optimization problems through stiffened plate of ship structures. In structural optimization the computational cost increases rapidly as the number of design variables increases. And we need a great amount of cal-culation and time on problems of modified dynamic characteristics of large and complicated struc-tures. In this paper the multi-level optimization is proposed which decreases computational time and cost. the dynamic optimum designs of stiffened plate that control the natural frequency and minimize weight subjected to constraints condition are derived. The way to apply the multi-level optimization methods in this study follow: In the first step the dynamic characteristics is controlled for the two-dimensional model of stiffened plate by sensitivity analysis and quasi-least squares methods. In the second step the cross-section of the stiffener is decided so that the weight is minimized under needed constraints by the steepest descent or ascent method. In the third the three-dimensional model is made based on the results of the first step and the second step confirmation and finer tuning of the objective function are carried out. It is shown that the results are effective in the optimum modification for dynamic characteristics of the stiffened plate.
