While demands for express couriers service are rapidly increasing due to recent progress of electronic commerce, express courier service companies are struggling to take a larger market share through ongoing improvement in their service processes. Cut-off time is the time limit that all orders delivered before the limit are guaranteed for the delivery within the very next day. Extending cut-off time for express service centers can provide the express company with increase of total sales, but it may also cause increasing the possibility not to satisfy customer needs due to work delay in the consolidation terminal. We develop a design model for express courier service network based on a recursive optimization/simulation procedure. With the optimization model, we seek key design parameters such as the cut-off time for express service centers and the capacity of the consolidation terminal maximizing total sales profit while satisfying the desired level of performances. With the simulation model, we consider the dynamic nature of the network and obtain relationships between the design parameters and the performance measures with the multiple linear regression. The validity of the model is examined with an example.

The paper describes an optimization method based on the mathematical model of interaction within multibody 'bridge-track-cars" dynamic system. The interaction is connected with considerable dynamic phenomena influenced by high traffic speed (up to 400 km/h) on high-speed railroads. The trend analysis of a structure is necessary to determine the direction and resource of optimizing the system. Thus, scientific methods of decision-making process are necessary. The process requires a great amount of information analysis dealing with behavior and changes of the "bridge-track-cars system" that consists of mechanisms and structures, including transitions. The paper shows the algorithm of multi-criteria optimization that can essentially reduce weight of a bridge superstructure using big data analysis. This reduction is carried out in accordance with the constraints that have to be satisfied in any case. Optimization of real steel-concrete beam is exemplified. It demonstrates possibility of measures that are offered by the algorithm.

여러 산업분야에서 다양한 원심압축기가 사용되고 있다. 따라서 사용자의 요구에 맞는 원심압축기의 설계가 복잡해졌고, 최적화된 설계점을 찾는 것은 더욱 어려워졌다. 전통적으로 효율은 최적화의 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 효율 외에도 압축기의 무게를 고려하여 설계하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 압축기의 효율과 무게를 고려할 때에 그 고려하는 가중치의 변화에 따라 설계의 경향성이 나타남을 확인하는 것에 있다. 또한, 이를 바탕으로 초기 설계 단계에서 객관적인 설계점을 선택할 수 있음을 보여주는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 베인이 없는 디퓨저를 한정하여 연구하였다. 최적화를 위해서 크리깅을 사용하였고, 1차원 설계 프로그램의 표본을 적절히 이용하였다. 설계공간을 적절히 가정하였고, 설계공간 내에서 최적설계점을 계산하였다.

신뢰성 기반 최적설계는 설계변수들의 변동을 평균이나 분산 등의 통계적 특성으로 고려하여 설계자가 원하는 신뢰도를 만족하는 해를 구한다. 신뢰도를 구하기 위한 기존의 신뢰성해석 기법들은 변수들이 연속함수로 정의되는 특정 확률분포를 따른다는 가정을 하지만 실제 문제에서 변수들은 한정적인 이산정보의 형태인 경우가 많기 때문에 변수들에 대한 가정을 하지 않고 이산정보로부터 신뢰성해석을 수행하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 후보 분포들 중에서 이산정보를 가장 잘 추정하는 분포를 결정하는 기법인 Akaike 정보척도를 이용하여 신뢰성해석 및 신뢰성 기반 최적설계를 수행하는 기법을 제안한다. 수학예제를 통해 정확성을 검증하고 철도차량 용접대차의 신뢰성 기반 최적설계에 적용하여 제안한 기법의 유용성을 확인한다.

In this paper, we propose a new architecture of Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Networks(FPNN) by means of genetically optimized Fuzzy Polynomial Neuron(FPN) and discuss its comprehensive design methodology involving mechanisms of genetic optimization, especially Genetic Algorithms(GAs). The conventional FPNN developed so far are based on mechanisms of self-organization and evolutionary optimization. The design of the network exploits the extended Group Method of Data Handling(GMDH) with some essential parameters of the network being provided by the designer and kept fixed throughout the overall development process. This restriction may hamper a possibility of producing an optimal architecture of the model. The proposed FPNN gives rise to a structurally optimized network and comes with a substantial level of flexibility in comparison to the one we encounter in conventional FPNNs. It is shown that the proposed advanced genetic algorithms based Fuzzy Polynomial Neural Networks is more useful and effective than the existing models for nonlinear process. We experimented with Medical Imaging System(MIS) dataset to evaluate the performance of the proposed model.

Construction projects are large-scale projects that require extensive construction costs and resources. Especially, scheduling is considered as one of the essential issues for project success. However, the schedule and resource management are challenging to conduct in high-tech construction projects including complex design of MEP and architectural finishing which has to be constructed within a limited workspace and duration. In order to deal with such a problem, this study suggests resource and sequence optimization using constraint programming in construction projects. The optimization model consists of two modules. The first module is the data structure of the schedule model, which consists of parameters for optimization such as labor, task, workspace, and the work interference rate. The second module is the optimization module, which is for optimizing resources and sequences based on Constraint Programming (CP) methodology. For model validation, actual data of plumbing works were collected from a construction project using a five-minute rate (FMR) method. By comparing actual data and optimized results, this study shows the possibility of reducing the duration of plumbing works in construction projects. This study shows decreased overall project duration by eliminating work interference by optimizing resources and sequences within limited workspaces.

The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of chemical process synthesis purely based on mathematical programming when given an objective, feed conditions, product specifications, and model equations for available process units. A method based on a state space approach is proposed, and applied to an example problem with a reactor, a heat exchanger, and a separator. The results indicate that a computer can automatically synthesize an optimal process without any heuristics or expertise in process design provided that global optimization techniques are improved to be suitable for large problems.
