The present study investigates the employing of piezoelectric patches in active control of a sandwich plate. Indeed, the active control and optimal patch distribution on this structure are presented together. A sandwich plate with honeycomb core and composite reinforced by carbon nanotubes in facesheet layers is considered so that the optimum position of actuator/sensor patches pair is guaranteed to suppress the vibration of sandwich structures. The sandwich panel consists of a search space which is a square of 200 × 200 mm with a numerous number of candidates for the optimum position. Also, different dimension of square and rectangular plates to obtain the optimal placement of piezoelectric actuator/senor patches pair is considered. Based on genetic algorithm and LQR, the optimum position of patches and fitness function is determined, respectively. The present study reveals that the efficiency and performance of LQR control is affected by the optimal placement of the actuator/sensor patches pair to a large extent. It is also shown that an intelligent selection of the parent, repeated genes filtering, and 80% crossover and 20% mutation would increase the convergence of the algorithm. It is noted that a fitness function is achieved by collection actuator/sensor patches pair cost functions in the same position (controllability). It is worth mentioning that the study of the optimal location of actuator/sensor patches pair is carried out for different boundary conditions of a sandwich plate such as simply supported and clamped boundary conditions.

Size of building has a direct relationship with building cost, energy use and space maintenance cost. Therefore, minimizing building size during a project development is of paramount importance against such wastes. However, incautious reduction of building size may result in crowded space, and therefore harms the functionality despite the fact that building is supposed to satisfactorily support users' activity. A well-balanced design solution is, therefore, needed at an optimum level that minimizes building size in tandem with providing sufficient space to maintain functionality. For such design, architects and engineers need to be informed accurate and reliable space-use information. We present in this paper a conceptual framework of an agent-based space-use prediction simulation system that provides individual level space-use information over time in a building in consideration of project specific user information and activity schedules, space preference, ad beavioural rules. The information will accordingly assist architects and engineers to optimize space of the building as appropriate.

Typical temperature control methods of a cooler for machine tools are hot-gas bypass and compressor variable speed control. The hot-gas bypass system has been widely used to control the cooler temperature in many general industrial fields. On the contrary, the compressor variable speed control is focused on special fields such as aerospace and high precision machine tools which need high precision control. The variable speed control system usually has two control variables such as target temperature and superheat. In other words, the variable speed control system is basically multi-input multi-output(MIMO) system. In spite of MIMO system, the proportional integral derivative(PID) feedback control methodology that based on single-input single-output (SISO) system is generally used for designing the variable speed control system. Therefore, it is inevitable to describe transfer functions for dynamic behaviors of every controlled variables and decide the PID gains with tremendous iteration process. Moreover, the designed PID gains do not provide optimum system performances. To solve these problems, high performance controller design method based on a state space model is suggested in this paper. An optimum controller is designed to minimize both control errors and energy inputs. This method was more simple to describe dynamic behaviors and easier to design the cooler controller which is MIMO system.

이 연구에서는 다 셀계수변수와 다 제약조건으로 구성된 단면 및 시스템 형상을 동시에 고려하는 입체 트러스의 이산화 최적설계 문제를 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 체계화하였다. 또한 유전자 알고리즘의 적용방법을 초기화절차 진화적 절차 그리고 유전적 절차로 구성하였다. 초기화 절차에서는 한 세대의 개체 수만큼 염색체를 생성하고 진화적 절차는 구조해석의 결과를 분석하여 적합도를 계산하였다. 그리고 유전적 절차는 복제와 교배 및 돌연변이를 통하여 다음 세대의 유전자를 생성하게 된다. 이렇게 진화적 절차와 유전적 절차를 반복 수행하여 최적 해를 탐색한다. 이 연구에서는 설계자가 궁극적 목표로 하는 구조물의 구조 해석과 단면 및 시스템 형상 최적설계를 동시에 수행할 수 있는 이산화 최적설계 프로그램을 개발하고 설계 예를 들어 비교 고찰하였다.

Generally, truss design has been determined by the designer's experience and intuition. But if we perform the most economical structural design we must consider not only cross-sections of members but also configurations(howe, warren and pratt types etc.) of single truss as the number of panel and truss height. The purpose of this study is to develope automated optimum design techniques for steel truss structures considering cross-sections of members and shape of trusses simultaneously. As the results, it could be possible to find easily the optimum solutions subject to design conditions at the preliminary structural design stage of the steel truss structures. In this study, the objective function is expressed as the whole member weight of trusses, and the applied constraints are as stresses, slenderness ratio, local buckling, deflection, member cross-sectional dimensions and truss height etc. The automated optimum design algorithm of this study is divided into three-level procedures. The first level on member cross-sectional optimization is performed by the sequential unconstrained minimization technique(SUMT) using dynamic programming method. And the second level about truss height optimization is applied for obtaining the optimum truss height by three-equal interval search method. The last level of optimization is applied for obtaining the optimum panel number of truss by integer programming method. The algorithm of multi-level optimization programming technique proposed in this study is more helpful for the economical design of plane trusses as well as space trusses.

쾌적한 지상공간의 삶을 위하여 전세계적으로 지하공간 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있으며, 그 규모도 점차 대형화하고 었는 추세이다. 하지만 밀집한 상부 구조물에 대한 피해 우려와 기존 지하공간과의 간섭 등으로 인하여 새로운 지하공간 건설 시 많은 주의가 필요한 실정이다. 천층에 굴착되는 터널의 경우, 굴착으로 인한 상부 구조물의 피해를 최소화하기 위하여 구조물 하부 및 터널 주변지반의 보강이 필수적이나 그 적정범위에 대한 기준은 마련되어있지 않은 설정이다. 본 논문에서는 직경 20 m의 대단면 터널이 구조물 하부에 시공되는 경우에 대해서 수치해석을 실시하여, 터널과 구조물간의 수직 및 수평이격거리에 따른 구조물 피해정도를 조사하였고 보강이 필요한 경우에는 각각의 경우별로 최적의 보강범위를 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 다룬 지반조건에 대한 해석결과, 수직이격거리가 0.50(D 터널등가직경)인 경우에는 수평이격거리가 0D에 근접하면서부터 보강이 필요한 것으로 나타났으며, 수직이격거리가 0.75D인 경우에는 터널이 구조물 하부에 위치할 때 보강이 필요하였다. 또한 수직이격거리가 1D 이상인 경우에는 수평이격거리에 상관없이 보강이 필요 없는 것으로 나타났다. 구조물 기초지반 보강범위는 갚이 7 m, 폭은 구조물 전제를 포함하여 터널 측벽에서 5 m 벗어난 곳까지이다. 상황에 따라 적절한 보강공법을 선택하였을 경우, 이와 같은 보강범위는 구조물 안정에 충분한 것으로 나타났다.

A method of optimum design of an axial rotary sensible heat exchanger for the heat recovery of exhaust gas from the air conditioning space was developed in consideration of economics of investment cost and profit according to the installation of heat exchangers. Leakage rate of exhaust gas was calculated and the correlation for the pressure drop due to leakage of exhaust gas was proposed. Heat transfer between the matrix and exhaust and intake gas was analysed to calculate the effectiveness of heat exchanger, which was used for the optimum design of rotary heat exchanger. The results show that optimum rotational speed increases as the length of rotor increases and there exists optimum NTU which maximizes the gain of total cost according to the installation of rotary heat exchanger.
