A strategy of the optimal shape design with FEA(Finite Element Analysis) for 2-D structure is proposed by comparing subproblem approximation method with first order approximation method. A cantilever beam with two different loading conditions, a concentrated load and an evenly distribute load, and truss structure with a concentrated loading condition are implemented to optimize the shape. It gives a good design strategy on the optimal truss structure as well as the optimal cantilever beam shape. It is found that the convergence is quickly finished with the iteration number below ten. Optimized shapes of cantilever beam and truss structure are shown with stress contour plot by the results of the subproblem approximation method and the first order approximation methd.

High powered computers and engineering computer systems allow designers to routinely simulate complex physical phenomena. The presented work deals with the analysis of two finite element method optimization techniques (First Order Method-FOM and Subproblem Approximation Method-SAM) implemented in the individual Design Optimization module in the Ansys software to analyze the behavior of real problems. A design optimization is a difficult mathematical process, intended to find the minimum or maximum of an objective function, which is mostly based on iterative procedure. Using optimization techniques in engineering designs requires detailed knowledge of the analyzed problem but also an ability to select the appropriate optimization method. The methods embedded in advanced computer software are based on different optimization techniques and their efficiency is significantly influenced by the specific character of a problem. The efficiency, robustness and accuracy of the methods are studied through strictly convex two-dimensional optimization problem, which is represented by volume minimization of two bars' plane frame structure subjected to maximal vertical displacement limit. Advantages and disadvantages of the methods are described and some practical tips provided which could be beneficial in any efficient engineering design by using an optimization method.

보강 원통셸의 기본 고유 진동수를 최적화하기 위해서, 보강재의 개수를 1 개에서 5 개까지 보강된 원통셸에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 고유 진동수에 대한 최적화를 시뮬레이션하기 위해서 ANSYS 11.0 을 사용하였다. 최적화 방법으로 Subproblem Approximation Method 를 이용하였다. 최적화의 설계 함수로는 T-형 링 보강재의 기하형상이며, 제한 함수로는 보강에 따른 추가 부피가 10 % 이내로 제한하였다. 목적함수는 기본 고유진동수를 최대화하는 것이다. 최적 설계에 대한 성능 지표는 비보강 원통셸과 보강원통셸의 고유진동수와 부피의 비로서 정의하였다. 최적 성능 지수는 3 개의 보강재를 사용한 원통셸에서 나타났다.

During fuel irradiation tests, all parts of cylindrical structure with multiple holes act as heat sources due to fussion heal and ${\gamma}-flux$. The high temperature is especially generated over $2500^{\circ}C$ in the center of pellet. Due to the high temperature, many problems occur, such as melting of pellet and declining of heat transfer between cladding and coolant. [n this study, it is attempted 10 minimize the temperature of pellet using optimization method about geometric variables. For thermal and optimization analysis or structure. the finite element method code. ANSYS 5.7 is used. In this procedure. subproblem approximation method is used to the optimization methods. Through the optimum design process, the temperature of sealed basket type is reduced from $2537^{\circ}C$ to $2181^{\circ}C$ and the temperature of open basket type is reduced from $2560^{\circ}C$ to $2106^{\circ}C$.

An automated mechanical parking system with a dedicated multi-floor building has been studied for improvements. Among the major components of the system, study is focused on the trolly which is the most important to the overall reliability of the system. The trolley holds and moves a parked vehicle horizontally into a specified position for the next sequence of operations. Optimization of a trolly structure is presented for strength and simplicity. With optimization, the weight has been reduced by 30% with respect to the conventional design.
