Recently, the field of the engineering has been studied about optimum design continuously. Verified data by comparison with simulation and dynamic characteristic analysis enables the design of a machine tool to be modified easily and effectively concerning to the mode shape of the vibration. Especially, BC-500 Line Center has got some problems causing vibration which mainly come from Column and ATC part. So it is necessary to solve those problems by the two kinds of method such as changing structural design and reinforcing with ribs. In this paper, column and ATC part of BC-500 Line center are modified by an optimum design by the analysing method of FEM to avoid vibration. As a result, a more stable machine tool was designed by this simulation as optimum condition.

The purpose of this work is to analyze the vibration characteristic of boring bar with dynamic vibration absorber and find out the effective design parameters. Using the finite element method and modified optimum design concept, conventional optimum design based on approximate lumped parameter model is checked and practical design to be measured with modal analysis is compared with optimum design from numerical analysis. Also, the performance of reducing vibration is investigated with variation of shape of boring bar. The considered model of boring bar with dynamic vibration absorber is selected among manufactured boring bars with the best performance.

This paper deals with optimum design criteria for maximum torque density & minimum torque ripple of Synchronous Reluctance Motor (SynRM) according to the rated wattage using response surface methodology (RSM). The RSM has been achieved to use the experimental design method in combination with Finite Element Method and well adapted to make analytical model for a complex problem considering a lot of interaction of design variables. The proposed procedure allows to define the rotor optimum shape for maximum torque density & minimum torque ripple starting from an existing motor or a preliminary design.

This paper deals with an automatic optimum design based on a rated output for a synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM). The focus of this paper is the motor design relative to the output power on the basis of rotor shape of a SynRM in each rated watt. And optimization algorithm is used by means of sequential unconstrained minimization technique(SUMT). The coupled Finite Elements Analysis (FEA) & Preisach model have been used to evaluate nonlinear solutions. The proposed procedure allows to define the rotor geometric dimensions according to rated watt starting from an existing motor or a preliminary design.

Optimization of the aircraft panel assembly constructed by skin and stringers is investigated. For the design of panel assembly of the aircraft structure, it is necessary to determine the best shape of the stringer which accomplishes lowest weight under the condition of no instability. A panel assembly can fail in a variety of instability modes under compression. Overall modes of flexure or torsion can occur and these can interact in a combined flexural/torsion mode. Flexure and torsion can occur symmetrically or anti-symmetrically. Local instabilities can also occur. The local instabilities considered in this paper are buckling of the free and attached flanges, the stiffener web and the inter-rivet buckling. A program is developed to find out critical load for each instability mode at the specific stringer shape. Based on the developed program, optimization is performed to find optimum stringer shape. The developed instability analysis program is not adequate for sensitivity analysis, therefore RSM (Response Surface Method) is utilized instead to model weight and instability constraints. Since the problem has many local minimum, Genetic algorithm is utilized to find global optimum.

As a part of theoretical and experimental research works for the prediction and improvement of ship's maneuvering performance, an experimental study for the optimum rudder design has been carried out. Largely, this study is composed of the investigations on three major characteristics which determine rudder performance, that is, the investigations on section shape, planform and aspect ratio, and the investigation on the special section shapes. Some practically useful design directions and conclusion for each characteristic have been derived through this study. Among special section shapes, dolphin-tail type section shape has shown a possibility of significantly improving rudder performance if utilized as the section of rudders.

The End-milling has been widely used in the industrial world because it is effective to cutting working with various shape. Recently the end-milling is demanded the high-precise technique with good surface roughness and rapid manufacturing time for precision machine and electronic elements. The cutting working of end-milling such as, cutting direction, revolution of spindle, feed rate and depth of cut have an effect on optimum surface roughness. This study was carried out to decide the working condition for optimum surface roughness and rapid manufacturing time by design of experiment and ANOVA. From the results of this study, the optimum working condition for end milling is upward cutting in cutting direction, 600rpm in revolution of spindle, 240mm/mm in feed rate, 2mm in axial depth of cut and 0 25mm in radial depth of cut. The design of experiment has become an useful method to select optimum working condition mend-milling.

The structural shape optimization is a useful tool for engineers to determine the shape of a structure. During the optimization process, relocations of nodes happen successively. However, excessive movement of nodes often results in the mesh distortion and eventually deteriorates the accuracy of the optimum solution. To overcome this problem, an efficient method for the shape optimization has been developed. The method starts from the design domain which is large enough to hold the possible shape of the structure. The design domain has pre-defined uniform fine meshes. At every cycle, the method judges whether all the elements are inside of the structure or not. Elements inside of the structure are assigned with real material properties, however elements outside of the structure are assigned with nearly zero values. The performance of the method is evaluated through various examples.

This study presents a numerical procedure to optimize the shape of dimple surface to enhance turbulent heat transfer in a rectangular channel. The response surface based optimization method is used as an optimization technique with Reynolds-averaged Wavier-Stokes analysis of fluid flow and heat transfer with shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model. The dimple depth-to-dimple print diameter ratio, channel height-to-dimple print diameter ratio, and dimple print diameter-to-pitch ratio are chosen as design variables. The objective function is defined as a linear combination of heat transfer related term and friction loss related term with a weighting factor. full factorial method is used to determine the training points as a mean of design of experiment. The optimum shape shows remarkable performance in comparison with a reference shape.

The shape of $7\times7$ pin-fins heat sink is optimized numerically to obtain the minimum pressure drop and thermal resistance. In this study, the fin height (h), fin width (w), and fan-to-heat sink distance (c) are chosen as the design variables and the pressure drop $({\Delta}P)$ and thermal resistance $(\theta_j)$ are adopted as the objective functions. To obtain the optimum design values, we used the finite volume method for calculating the objective functions, the BFGS method for solving the unconstrained non-linear optimization problem, and the weighting method for predicting the multi-objective problem. The results show that the optimum design variables for the weighting coefficient of 0.5 are as follows: W=4.653 mm, h=59.215mm, and c=2.667mm. The objective functions corresponding to the optimal design are calculated as ${\Delta}P=6.82$ Pa and $(\theta_j)=0.56K/W$. The Pareto solutions are also presented for various weighting coefficients and they will offer very useful data to design the pin-fins heat sink.
