The early phase of design intrinsically contains multiple sources of uncertainty in describing design, and nevertheless the decision-making process at this phase exerts a critical effect upon drawing a successful design. This paper proposes a set-based design approach for multi-objective design problem under uncertainty. The proposed design approach consists of four design processes including set representation, set propagation, set modification, and set narrowing. This approach enables the flexible and robust design while incorporating designer's preference structure. In contrast to existing optimization techniques, this approach generates a ranged set of design solutions that satisfy changing sets of performance requirements.

함정설계 시에는 초기 운용요구 능력의 불확실성을 고려하여 무수히 많은 대안 중에서 최적의 무장시스템과 플랫폼의 제원을 선정하기 위해서는 시스템적인 접근 방법이 필수적이다. 미 해군은 초기단계 설계 시 최적 설계조합을 시행착오 없이 효율적으로 선정하기 위하여 집합기반 설계를 차기 공기부양정 초기단계 설계에 성공적으로 적용한 바 있다. 집합기반 설계를 적용하기 위해서는 설계조합에 필수적인 모델인 함정통합모델이 필수적이나 아쉽게 현재 실질적인 함정통합모델을 보유하고 있는 국가는 미국, 영국 정도의 극히 일부 국가이며 관련된 기술의 타국으로의 이전도 전혀 허용하지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 함정설계 데이터의 벤치마킹을 통해서도 미국을 중심으로 선진화된 최신 설계기법인 집합기반설계가 가능할 수 있도록 유전자알고리즘과 의사결정 방법론인 TOPSIS를 통합한 우리나라의 여건과 역량을 고려한 한국형 집합기반 설계 프로세스를 구축하였으며 현재 연구 및 교육 목적으로 일반에 공개된 DDG-51급 통합함정모델을 이용하여 함정의 무장시스템 초기단계 설계 최적화에 적용하여 제안된 한국형 집합기반설계의 적용 가능성을 검증하였다.

This paper presents a data based low-order controller design algorithm for a linear time-invariant process with a time delay. The algorithm is composed by combining an identification step based on open loop pulse test with a low-order controller design step to obtain the entire set of controllers achieving multiple performance specifications. The initial information necessary for this algorithm are merely the width and amplitude of a rectangular pulse, a controller of four types (PI, PD, PID, first-order), and design objectives. Various parametric approaches that have been developed are merged in the controller design algorithm. The resulting controller set satisfying the design objectives are displayed on the 2D and 3D graphics and thus it is very easy for us to pick a controller inside the admissible set because we can check the corresponding closed-loop performances visually.

Universal design is defined as the design process of products and environments usable by all people to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. The benefits of universal design have been promoted primarily through illustrative 'success stories' of public, residential and occupational environments and products. While case examples may be informative, they may unfortunately be limited in terms of generality to other designs or tasks. Therefore, design methods and criteria that can be applied systematically in a range of situations to encourage universal design are needed. In addition, the seven principles of universal design are intended to guide the design process. The principles provide a framework that allows a systematic evaluation of new or existing designs and assists in educating both designers and consumers about the characteristics of more usable products and environments. However, exactly how these principles are incorporated into the design process has beenleft up to the designer. Since the introduction of universal design, designers have become familiar with the principles of universal design, and they have developed many products based on universal design. However, the principles of universal design are qualitative, which means designers cannot quantitatively evaluate their designs. Some have worked to develop more systematic ways to evaluate products and environments by providing design guidelines for each of the principles. However, recommendations have not yet been made regarding how to integrate performance measures of universal design into the product design process before the product is mass produced. Furthermore, there are sets of requirements regarding each user group that has different age and ability. Consequently, there is an urgent need for design methods, based on a better understanding of age and ability related factors, which will lead to a universally designed product or environment. The authors have proposed the PSD (Preference Set-Based Design) method that can generate a ranged set of feasible solutions (i.e., robust and flexible solution set) instead of single point solution that satisfies changing sets of design targets. The objective of this paper is to develop a general method for systematically supporting the universal design process. This paper proposes the applicability of PSD method to universal design. Here, the proposed method is successfully illustrated with a universal design problem.

Although feature-based design is a promising approach to fully integrating CAD/CAM, current feature-based design approaches seldom provide methodologies to easily define and design features. This paper proposes a new approach to integrating parametric design with feature-based design to overcome those limitations by globally decomposing a design into a set of features and locally defining and positioning each feature by geometric constraints. Each feature is defined as a parametric shape which consists of a feature section, attributes, and a set of constraints. The generalized sketching and sweeping techniques are used to simplify the process of designing features. The proposed approach is knowledge-based and its computational efficiency in geometric reasoning is improved greatly. Parametrically designed features not only have the advantage of allowing users to efficiently perform design changes, but also provide designers with a natural design environment in which they can do their work more naturally and creatively.

린은 고객이 정하는 가치를 정의하고 가치의 흐름에 방해되는 불필요하고 낭비되는 요소를 없애는 과정을 기본으로 하는 경영철학이다. 생산관리에서 출발한 린이라는 경영철학은 건설 산업에서“린 건설”이라는 이름으로 건설단계에서 시작되었으며 이제는 생산성 향상을 효과적으로 이룰 수 있는 설계단계로의 확장이 필요한 시점이다. 현재 국내의 구조설계업무방식은 순차적 공학 개념의 Point-based Design 방식으로 설계자의 경험과 판단에 의존하여 초기 설계안을 결정하고 이후 상세설계를 진행하는 과정으로 설계업무가 진행되었다. 이에 반해 동시공학 개념의 Set-based Design 방식은 전체 프로젝트 관점에서 낭비요소를 없애고 프로젝트 생산성 향상을 위해 다양한 설계안을 제한된 범위 내에서 바로 선택하지 않고 더 확실한 정보가 나올 때까지 설계안의 선택을 유보하여 합리적이고 경제적인 설계안을 결정하는 린 기반의 설계 프로세스이다. 본 연구에서는 전통적인 구조설계방식에 대해 SBD방식을 도입하고, SBD프로세스의 의사결정기법으로 계층화분석법(AHP)을 적용하여, 후행업무단계들에 대한 사전 고려로 프로젝트 전체 관점에서의 낭비를 최소화하고 생산성을 향상할 수 있는 설계 방법론을 제안하고 하고자 한다. 이를 위해 PBD와 SBD방식에 대한 분석 및 의사결정방안을 모색하였고, 제안된 SBD프로세스의 사례연구를 통해 실무에서의 활용방안을 제시하였다.

This paper proposes a hybrid of topological derivative-based level set method (LSM) and isogeometric analysis (IGA) for structural topology optimization. In topology optimization a significant drawback of the conventional LSM is that it cannot create new holes in the design domain. In this study, the topological derivative approach is used to create new holes in appropriate places of the design domain, and alleviate the strong dependency of the optimal topology on the initial design. Furthermore, the values of the gradient vector in Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the conventional LSM are replaced with a Delta function. In the topology optimization procedure IGA based on Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) functions is utilized to overcome the drawbacks in the conventional finite element method (FEM) based topology optimization approaches. Several numerical examples are provided to confirm the computational efficiency and robustness of the proposed method in comparison with derivative-based LSM and FEM.

This paper presents a feature-based approach to extracting machining features fro a feature-based design model. In the approach, a design feature to machining feature conversion process incrementally converts each added design feature into a machining feature or a set of machining features. The proposed approach an efficiently handle protrusion features and interacting features since it takes advantage of design feature information, design intent, and functional requirements during feature extraction. Protrusion features cannot be directly mapped into machining features so that the removal volumes surrounding protrusion features are extracted and converted it no machining features. By utilizing feature information as well as geometry information during feature extraction, the proposed approach can easily overcome inherent problems relating to feature recognition such as feature interactions and loss of design intent. In addition, a feature extraction process can be simplified, and a large set of complex part can be handled with ease.

In this research, for improving the measurement performance of Prompt Gamma-ray Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) set-up, a new optimization method for set-up design was proposed and investigated. At first, the calculation method for Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) was proposed. Since the SNR could be calculated and quantified accurately, the SNR was chosen as the evaluation parameter in the new optimization method. For discussing the feasibility of the SNR optimization method, two kinds of PGNAA set-ups were designed in the MCNP code, based on the SNR optimization method and the previous signal optimization method, respectively. Meanwhile, the single element spectra analysis method was proposed, and the analysis effect of single element spectra as well as element sensitivity were used for comparing the measurement performance. Since the simulation results showed the better measurement performance of set-up designed by SNR optimization method, the experimental set-ups were built for the further testing, finally demonstrating the feasibility of the SNR optimization method for PGNAA setup design.

A new level set based topology optimization employing inner-front creation algorithm is presented. In the conventional level set based topology optimization, the optimum topology strongly depends on the initial level set distribution due to the incapability of inner-front creation during optimization process. In the present work, in this regard, an inner-front creation algorithm is proposed. in which the sizes. shapes. positions, and number of new inner-fronts during the optimization process can be globally and consistently identified by considering both the value of a given criterion for inner-front creation and the occupied volume (area) of material domain. To facilitate the inner-front creation process, the inner-front creation map which corresponds to the discrete valued criterion of inner-front creation is applied to the level set function. In order to regularize the design domain during the optimization process, the edge smoothing is carried out by solving the edge smoothing partial differential equation (PDE). Updating the level set function during the optimization process, in the present work, the least-squares finite element method (LSFEM) is employed. As demonstrative examples for the flexibility and usefulness of the proposed method. the level set based topology optimization considering lightweight design of 3D shell structure is carried out.
