This paper presents the shape optimization to minimize the BEMF(Back Electro-Motive Force) harmonics of PM type synchronous generators. RSM(Response Surface Methodology) is well adapted to make analytical model for a complex problem considering a lot of interaction of design variables. In this paper, RSM is used to find the optimal solution. The 2D-Finite Element Method is used to obtain the observer data of the BEMF and SQP(Sequential Quadratic Problem method) is used to solve the constrained nonlinear optimization problem.

The performance of a barrel stave flextensional transducer is determined by the properties of its constituent materials and the effects of many structural parameters. In this study, with the finite element method, the structure of a barrel stave flextensional transducer was optimized to achieve the widest bandwidth while satisfying the requirements on pressure and center frequency. The optimization was carried out with the SQP-PD method for multi-variable minimization. The optimized barrel stave flextensional transducer satisfied all the required specifications.

This paper presents a method for the determination of total transfer capability in interconnected power systems, which is based on sequential quadratic programming (SQP). The objective function is the maximization of the interconnected line flow. To calculate TTC the control variables are the active power of the generating units, the voltage magnitude of the generator, transformer tap settings and SVC setting. The state variables are the bus voltage magnitude, the reactive power of the generating unit, line flows and the tie line flow. The method proposed is applied to the modified IEEE 14 buses model system.

This paper presents a hybrid algorithm for solving security constrained OPF in interconnected power systems, which is based on the combined application of evolutionary programming (EP) and sequential quadratic programming (SQP). The objective functions are the minimization of generation fuel costs and system power losses. In OPF considering security, the outages are selected by contingency ranking method. The control variables are the active power of the generating units, the voltage magnitude of the generator, transformer tap settings and SVC setting. The state variables are the bus voltage magnitude, the reactive power of the generating unit, line flows and the tie line flow. The method proposed is applied to the modified IEEE 14buses model system.

In this study the optimization of plate-fin type heat sink with vortex generator for thermal stability is conducted numerically. To acquire the optimal design variables, the CFD and mathematical optimization are integrated. The flow and thermal fields are predicted using the finite volume method. The optimization is carried out by means of the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method. The results show that when the temperature rise is less than 40 K, the optimal design variables are as follows; $B_1=2.584mm$, $B_2=1.741mm$, and t = 7.914 mm. Comparing with the initial design, the temperature rise is reduced by 4.2 K, while the pressure drop is increased by 9.43 Pa. The Pareto optimal solutions are also presented between the pressure drop and the temperature rise.

In the present study, a hydrodynamic hull-form optimization algorithm for a container ship was presented in terms of the minimum wave-making resistance. Bell-shaped modification functions were developed to modify the original hull-form and a sequential quadratic programming algorithm was used as an optimizer. The wave-making resistance as an objective function was obtained by the Rankine source panel method in which non-linear free surface conditions and the trim and sinkage of the ship were fully taken into account. Numerical computation was performed to investigate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed hull-form modification algorithm for the container carrier. The computational results were validated by comparing them with the experimental data.

굴착단계별 지반거동을 예측하기 위해 아무리 정교한 수치해석기법을 적용하여도 수치해석 모델링, 토질정수, 현장 및 시공조건 등과 관련한 불확실성으로 인해 실제 시공시 관측되는 거동은 설계단계의 수치해석을 통한 예측과 상당히 다른 결과를 나타낸다. 따라서, 굴착과정에서 발생되는 지반거동을 파악하기 위해서 항상 현장계측을 통한 관리가 이루어져야 한다. 하지만 지금까지 수행된 계측관리는 현단계 안정성만을 판단하는 절대치 관리기법에 한정되어 있어 다음 굴착단계에 대한 지반거동의 예측이 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 측면에서 본 연구는 현단계 안정성 여부를 판단하는 절대치 관리기법 이외에 역해석을 통해 다음 굴착단계의 지반거동을 예측하고 안정성을 판단하는 예측관리기법을 도입한 지반굴착 흙막이공의 정보화시공 종합관리 시스템인 TOMAS-EXCAV를 개발하였다. TOMAS-EXCAV는 SQP-MMFD의 최적화기법을 적용한 역해석 프로그램을 정해석 프로그램과 연계하여 굴착 또는 시공 초기단계에 실시된 계측결과를 토대로 주요 설계변수의 최적화를 수행함으로써 흙막이구조물 해석시 모든 불확실성을 포괄적으로 반영한다. 본 연구에서는 이에 대한 검증을 위해 흙막이 현장 2개소를 선정하여 역해석을 중심으로 TOMAS-EXCAV의 적용성을 확인하였다.

Tensairity girder is a light weight inflatable fabric structural concept which can be used in road emergency transportation. It uses low pressure air to stabilize compression elements against buckling. With the purpose of obtaining the comprehensive target of minimum deflection and weight under ultimate load, the cross-section and the inner pressure of tensairity girder was optimized in this paper. The Variable Complexity Modeling (VCM) method was used in this paper combining the Kriging approximate method with the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) method, which was implemented by ABAQUS. In the Kriging method, the sample points of the surrogate model were outlined by Design of Experiment (DOE) technique based on Optimal Latin Hypercube. The optimization framework was constructed in iSIGHT with a global optimization method, Multi-Island Genetic Algorithm (MIGA), followed by a local optimization method, Sequential Quadratic Program (SQP). The result of the optimization gives a prominent conceptual design of the tensairity girder, which approves the solution architecture of VCM is feasible and efficient. Furthermore, a useful trend of sensitivity between optimization variables and responses was performed to guide future design. It was proved that the inner pressure is the key parameter to balance the maximum Von Mises stress and deflection on tensairity girder, and the parameters of cross section impact the mass of tensairity girder obviously.

The ultrasonic horn used for bonding of flip chip has been designed to vibrate at a natural frequency. The ultrasonic horn must be manufactured accurately in physical terms, because the small change of mechanical properties may result in the significant change of natural frequency. Therefore, tight tolerance is inevitable to keep the natural frequency in acceptable range. However, since tightening of the tolerance increases the manufacturing cost significantly, trade-off between the cost and accuracy is necessary. In this research, an attempt was made to design the ultra sonic horn within acceptable natural frequency while the manufacturing cost was kept as low as possible. For this purpose, among the 18 tolerances of physical terms of the ultrasonic horn, the most important 4 factors were selected using Taguchi method. The equation to relate those main factors and the natural frequency was made using response surface method. Finally, optimal design scheme for minimum manufacturing cost without a loss of performance was determined using SQP method.
