In this paper, Electret is formed to range voltage -5[kV] to -8[kV] by corona charging in PTFE film and sensor is manufactured by method of moments in sensing infra sonic. Charges of charged film are calculated also TSC measurement and induced potential of sensing electrode according to the charges is become aware of computer simulation. Electret Infra Sonic Transducer, which is designed and manufactured according to the potential and electric field simulation in using method of moments, is proved as it is effectively. Because sensitivity that measured under 10[Hz] is that average value of sensitivity rising rate is 6.34 [dB/oct] as average value is $\pm$1 [dB/oct] range -5[kV] to -8[kV] in corona charging film. As a result, it is believed that characteristic of acquired transducer can be application of medical treatment, industry, and animal life researches and the study of noise elimination, what's more, is required.

A procedure is proposed for determining the initial thickness distribution in oder to produce a specified final thickness distribution for the axisymmetrical superplastic blow forming processes. Weighted parameter is introduced to improve the simple ad $d_traction method and the initial blank thickness distribution is obtained by optimizing the weighted parameter. This method is applied to superplastic free bulging process with the uniform thickness distribution of final shape to confirm its validity. The optimum initial blank thickness distributions is obtained from arbitrary axisymmetrical superplastic blow forming processes such as dome, cone and cylindrical cup forming with die contact. It is concluded that the ad $d_traction method with weighted parameter is an effective method for an optimum blank thickness distribution design.esign.

An efficient multi-objective optimization method is presented making use of neural network and a systematic satisficing trade-off method (STOM), in order to simultaneously improve both maneuverability and durability of tire. Objective functions are defined as follows: the sidewall-carcass tension distribution for the former performance while the belt-edge strain energy density for the latter. A back-propagation neural network model approximates the objective functions to reduce the total CPU time required for the sensitivity analysis using finite difference scheme. The satisficing trade-off process between the objective functions showing the remarkably conflicting trends each other is systematically carried out according to our aspiration-level adjustment procedure. The optimization procedure presented is illustrated through the optimum design simulation of a representative automobile tire. The assessment of its numerical merit as well as the optimization results is also presented.

In September 2016, the government decided to apply a REC 5.0 weighting to solar-battery ESS to increase the supply of renewable energy. In this paper, we calculated the optimal capacity of battery ESS which maximizes the revenue when solar is linked with battery ESS. In the case study, the optimal capacity was calculated by applying the conservative REC price, and we studied sensitivity analysis about battery price and real-time REC price.

본 논문에서는 최근의 진화적 구조최적화(ESO) 전략을 회전축의 형상최적화에 적용하였으며, 각 계산 스텝마다 단위 유한요소의 크기를 변경함으로써 기존의 방법보다 빠르고 정확한 최적형상에 수렴하는 새로운 방법을 제시하였다. 축요소의 직경을 시스템 설계변수로 하였으며, 축중량의 감소, 공진배율(Q-factor)의 감소 및 충분한 위험속도의 분리여유를 갖도록 목적함수를 설정하였다. 불평형응답 및 굽힙응력의 구속조건을 부가하였으며, 목적함수에 대한 설계변수의 감도해석을 수행하였다. 전동기축계에 대한 적용 결과로부터 주파수와 동적 구속조건하의 로터베어링 시스템에 대한 축 형상 최적화에 ESO법이 효과적으로 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

A new advanced integral reactor of 330 MWt capacity named SMART(System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor) is currently under development at KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). One of the major design features of the integral reactor is locating the steam generators(SG) inside reactor vessel and eliminating the possibility of LB LOCA(large Break Loss of Coolant Accident). Orifices are fitted at the low part of steam generator cassette to stabilize and balance coolant flow distribution in the MCP (Main Circulation Pump) pressure header. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to determine the optimum orifice size using computer code 'CFX'.

A two-step method is presented for the optimum design of trusses with available sections under stress and Euler buckling constraints. The shape design of the truss is used as a means to convert the discrete solution into a continuous one. In the first step of the method, a continuous solution is obtained by sizing and shape design using an approximate polynomial expression for the buckling coefficients. In the second step, the member sizes obtained are changed to the nearest available sections and the truss is reconfigured by using the exact values for the buckling coefficients. The optimizer used is based on the sequential quadratic programming and the gradients are evaluated in closed form. The method is illustrated by two numerical examples.

Using a conventional railway, a tilting train was applied as a means of improving vehicle speed during curve negotiation without any modification of infrastructure. As a study for the optimum design of the tilting mechanism of a tilting vehicle, the kinematics sensitivity of the tilting mechanism was analyzed. Using the geometric relationship of the linkage-type tilting mechanism, the relationship of the parameters and the performance index was defined using nonlinear algebraic equations. With the defined relation, the effect of change in the parameters on the performance was analyzed. The analysis result can be used in the optimum design of a tilting mechanism that considers the track environment, vehicle and operational condition in which the tilting vehicle is applied.

This paper is concerned with an optimum design study of containerships in preliminary stage by applying economic criteria. The Net Present Value Index (NPVI) and the Required Freight Rate(RFR) are used as measures of merit. Hooke & Jeeves direct search method and External Penalty Function method of Sequential Unconstrained Minimization Techniques(SUMT) are used for solving constrained nonlinear optimization problem. Sensitivity analysis is carried out to investigate the effect on the optimum solution due to change of values in some parameters such as crane capacity, load factor, oil price, ship speed and the ratio between loaded FEU and TEU.

In this paper, we have formulated optimum Accelerated Life Test (ALT) plan for a parallel system with two independent components using masked data with ramp-stress loading scheme and Type-I censoring. Consider a system of two independent and non-identical components connected in parallel. Such a system fails whenever all of its components has failed. The exact component that causes the system to fail is often unknown due to cost and time constraint. For each parallel system at test, we observe its system's failure time and a set of component that includes the component actually causing the system to fail. The stress-life relationship is modelled using inverse power law, and cumulative exposure model is assumed to model the effect of changing stress. The optimal plan consists in finding out the optimum stress rate using D-optimality criterion. The method developed has been explained using a numerical example and sensitivity analysis carried out.
