A general approximate optimization technique by sequential design domain(SDD) did not save response values for getting an approximate function in each step. It has a disadvantage at aspect of an expense. In this paper, previous response values are recycled for constructing an approximate function. For this reason, approximation function is more accurate. Accordingly, even if we did not determine move limit, a system is converged to the optimal design. Size and shape optimization using approximate optimization technique is carried out with SDD. Algorithm executing Pro/Engineer and ANSYS are automatically adopted in the approximate optimization program by SDD. Convergence criterion is defined such that optimal point must be located within SDD during the three steps. The PLBA(Pshenichny-Lim-Belegundu-Arora) algorithm is used to solve approximate optimization problems. This algorithm uses the second-order information in the direction finding problem and uses the active set strategy.

본 연구에서는 토리구형 돔 형상을 갖는 연소관의 치수 최적화를 통한 경량화와 구조 안전성을 평가하였다. 치수최적화 설계는 빠른 설계 검증을 위하여 볼트의 단면적 비가 고려된 2차원 축대칭 유한요소 모델을 이용하여 수행하였다. 이때, 해석 프로그램은 ANSYS APDL(Ansys Parameter Design Language)을 이용하였고, 해석법은 sub-problem법과 first-order법을 선택하여 수행하였다. 설계 변수로는 연소관의 돔과 실린더 부위의 두께를 선정하였다. 수정된 2차원 축대칭 유한요소 모델은 3차원 유한요소 모델과의 결과 비교를 통하여 신뢰성을 확인하였고, 초기설계 단계에서 수정된 2차원 축대칭 유한요소 모델을 이용하여 연소관의 구조 안전성 평가와 빠르고 정확한 경량화 설계를 수행할 수 있었다. 연소관의 안전계수에 따른 최적화 해석 결과 최대 17.6%의 무게 절감 효과를 확인하였다.

본 연구의 목적은 최적화 해석 기법을 이용하여 복합재 압력용기의 스커트 치수를 도출하는 것이다. 복합재 압력용기 스커트 최적화 해석은 부분문제 근사법을 사용하였으며, APDL(ANSYS Parametric Design Language)을 이용하여 해석의 모든 과정을 일괄처리하였다. 설계변수로는 압력용기 스커트 부위의 두께와 길이를 선정하였으며, 내압에 의해 발생하는 변위와 무게를 각각 목적함수로 하여 최적화 해석을 통해 최적의 스커트 치수를 도출하였다. 그 결과 복합재 압력용기의 스커트 무게를 최대 4.38% 절감할 수 있었다.

The move limit strategy is used to avoid the excessive approximation in the structural optimization. The size of move limit has been obtained by engineering experience. Recently, efforts based on analytic methods are performed by some researchers. These methods still have problems, such as prematurity or oscillation of the move limit size. The existing methods usually control the bound of design variables based on the magnitude. Thus, they can not properly handle the configuration variables based on the geometry in the configuration optimization. In this research, the size of move limit is calculated based on the accuracy of approximation. The method is coded and applied to the two-point reciprocal quadratic approximation method. The efficiency is evaluated through examples.

The suspension is a structure that supports reading, writing head in information storage device. In order to develop the information storage device of high track density, it is necessary to study about the suspension. To satisfy operation condition of information storage device, the suspension shape is very important since it correlates to dynamic characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the dynamic characteristics by using finite element analysis and to optimize the suspension of information storage device using size optimization and topology optimization. The suspension has various modes according to different kinds of frequency bandwidth. Sway mode and second torsion mode are especially critical among them. In this paper, we investigated method to improve bandwidth of sway and second torsion mode of HDD and ODD suspension by using size optimization and topology optimization.

The paper describes the development and application of advanced evolutionary computing techniques referred to as micro genetic algorithms ($\mu$GA) in the context of engineering design optimization. The basic concept behind $\mu$GA draws from the use of small size of population irrespective of the bit string length in the representation of design variable. Such strategies also demonstrate the faster convergence capability and more savings in computational resource requirements than simple genetic algorithms (SGA). The paper first explores ten-bar truss design problems to see the optimization performance between $\mu$GA and SGA. Subsequently, $\mu$GA is applied to a realistic engineering design problem in the injection molding process optimization.

최근, 광학기계시스템에 새로운 구조 모델은 저비용, 고성능 및 품질의 개념설계에서 출발해야 할 필요성이 있다. 이런 관점에서, 기계적 구조의 개념설계와 연관된 구조적-위상적 형상은 구조적 강성과 감량과 같은 시스템 성능에 큰 영향을 끼친다. 본 연구에서는, 최적설계방법이 대구경 구조물의 설계단계에 제시되었다. 먼저, 위상 최적화법을 이용하여 구조물의 최적 배열과 보강방안을 얻었고, 사이즈 최적화와 다분야 최적기법을 사용한 세부 설계를 수행하였다. 그 일례로, 이 방법들을 대구경 구조물 설계에 적용하였다.

An optimum design problem for endosseous implant in dentistry is studied to find best implant design. An optimum design problem is formulated to reduce stresses arising at the cortical as well as cancellous bones, in which sufficient design parameters are chosen for design definition that encompasses major implants in popular use. Optimization at once (OAO) with the large number of design variables, however, causes too costly solution or even failure to converge. A concept of multilevel optimization (MLO) is employed to this end, which is to group the design variables of similar nature, solve the sub-problem of smaller size for each group in sequence, and this is iterated until convergence. Each sub-problem is solved based on the response surface method (RSM) due to its efficiency for small sized problem.

The conventional optimization study for electromagnetic systems has been mostly on the shape or size optimization. The goal for these optimization methods is to improve performance of electromagnetic systems by optimizing the interface shape of two different materials while their given layout or initial topology are held. The feasible topology can be diverse and an appropriate topology will give much better design results. In this paper we propose a theory and an algorithm for topology optimization of electromagnetic systems, which are based on the finite element method. The topology optimization technique employes a direct searching method of sensitivity analysis in which the information of material sensitivity is used. Two numerical examples of a switched reluctance motor and an electrostatic actuator of MEMS are tested and their design results show that the optimization method is valid and useful for the topology and basic layout design of electromagnetic systems.
