An ultra light quad-rotor is utilized in various areas for military and commercial purpose. Especially, the airframe shape is designed with various airframe size, weight and purpose. In this paper, the initial airframe shape of the quad-rotor was designed and manufactured. Flight test was conducted for the quad-rotor. The design modification of airframe shape was conducted to meet design requirement. By changing design, weight of airframe structure was reduced and payloads were placed to the best position. By reinforcing ribs and reducing vehicle's legs, the durability of airframe structure was enhanced.

The front 2 pieces of the 3-piece steel propeller shaft installed on a 8.5-ton truck were redesigned with a 1 -piece composite propeller shaft with steel yokes and spline parts to get the reduction of weight and the improvement of NVH characteristics. Based on the analysis of bending vibration, strength and cure-induced residual stresses of the composite propeller shaft, proper composite materials and stacking sequences were selected. The composite propeller shaft requires a reliable joining method between the shaft and steel end parts through a steel connector. From 3-D contact stress analyses of the laminated composite shaft with bolted Joints, the 3-row mechanical joint which satisfies the torque transmission capability has been designed. Several full-scale composite shafts were fabricated and tested to verify the design analyses. The design requirements are shown to be satisfied. With the newly designed composite shaft, the weight reduction more than 50% and improvements in NVH characteristics have been achieved.

Effect of circumference, net weight, and moisture content on the physicochemical propesties of cigarette were investigated. At the same net weight of cigarette, the pressure drop(E.P.D) of cigarette was increased as the circumference was decreased. Loseend and firmness were improved by reduction of circumference. In this condition, tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide deliveries were decreased, and the puff count was significantly increased. When the moisture content of the cigarette were decreased, firmness and loseend were increased. Also in this condition nicotine and carbon monoxide tend to be increased. Key words : cigarette design, circumference, net weight.

The tubular link chain conveyor works under very extreme conditions such as high tensile load, friction, and dangerous operating environments. In this study, we propose an optimal design plan for reducing cost and improving performance through weight reduction of tubular link chain conveyors for sludge transport. For light weight of tubular link chain conveyor, the optimization software using SHERPA algorithms, HEEDS was used in conjunction with ANSYS Mechanical V14.5, which is widely used in structural analysis, to achieve optimal tubular link chain. Through the optimization process, 19% light weight was achieved.

Recently The automotive industry is trying to increase the energy efficiency by reducing the weight of the car body and engine components as a way to achieve high energy efficiency. In particular, the reduction of the weight of the vehicle through the weight reduction of the vehicle body has the advantage that the fuel consumption and the output can be improved. But at the same time, there is the disadvantage that the strength becomes weak due to the reduction of the material thickness. Therefore, in order to overcome these disadvantages, materials with high strength according to the unit thickness have been actively developed, and researches for applying them have also been increasing. In this study, we will investigate the application of cold rolled steel sheet, which is a lightweight material, to a horn bracket that secures a installed in an automobile engine room. The horn bracket secures the horn on the car engine and is bolted to the outer wall of the engine. The momentum is acted on the bracket due to the distance between the bolt fastening part and the car horn installed on the bracket end side. Therefore, the body part of the bracket is more likely to be destroyed by the influence of the continuous stress. In this paper, design optimization for weight reduction and strength enhancement was performed to solve this problem, and possibility of applying the rolled steel sheet material as lightweight material by tensile test and fabrication was confirmed.

This paper present an optimum design for the rotor-bearing system of a high-speed (80000RPM) ultra-centrifuge supported by ball bearings with nonlinear stiffness characteristics. To obtain the nonlinear bearing stiffnesses, a ball bearing is modelled in five degrees of freedom and is analyzed quasi-statically. The dynamic behaviors of the nonlinear rotor-bearing system are analyed by using a transfer-matrix method iteratively. For optimum design, minimizing the weight of a rotor is used as a cost function and the Augmented Lagrange Multiplier (ALM) method is employed. The result shows that the rotor-bearing system is optimized to obtain 8% weight reduction.

An optimal design method for a spoke double-layer cable-net structure (SDLC) is proposed in this study. Simplified calculation models of the SDLC are put forward to reveal the static responses under vertical loads and wind loads. Next, based on an energy principle, the relationship among the initial prestress level, cross-sectional areas of the components, rise height, sag height, overall displacement, and relative deformation is proposed. Moreover, a calculation model of the Foshan Center SDLC is built and optimized. Given the limited loading cases, material properties of the components, and variation ranges of the rise height and sag height, the self-weight and initial prestress level of the entire structure can be obtained. Because the self-weight of the cables decreases with increasing of the rise height and sag height, while the self-weight of the inner strut increases, the total weight of the entire structure successively exhibits a sharp reduction, a gradual decrease, a slow increase, and a sharp increase during the optimization process. For the simplified model, the optimal design corresponds to the combination of rise height and sag height that results in an appropriate prestress level of the entire structure with the minimum total weight.

선체구조의 보강재로서 비대칭 단면재인 L 형강재가 대칭 단면재인 T형 조립부재(built-up T)에 비해 단면 비틀림 현상 등 다소 불리한 강도 특성에도 불구하고 오랜 관습과 자재 구입의 용이성 등으로 널리 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 근래 선박이 대형화 되어감에 따라 보강재의 형태는 압출 형강재의 사용이 줄고 다양한 설계 치수를 반영하여 용접을 통해 직접 제작하는 조립부재의 적용이 늘어가는 추세이다. 본 연구의 목적은 점차 사용량이 증대되고 있는 조립형 보강재의 효율적인 적용을 위한 최적설계 프로그램을 개발하는데 있다. 최적화 알고리즘으로는 선박 및 해양구조물의 최적설계에 많이 적용되고 있는 진화전략 기법을 선정하였다. 최적설계 결과의 실용성을 위해 부식여유를 고려한 총두께 개념을 설계변수와 목적함수에 도입하였고, 제한조건에는 최근 발효된 통합공통구조규칙(HCSR, Harmonized Common Structural Rules)을 적용하였다. 개발된 최적화 프로그램을 이용하여 최근 수주된 300K VLCC와 158K COT의 실선 설계를 수행한 결과 각각 144톤, 60톤의 중량 절감 효과를 얻었으며 대형 선박일수록 중량 절감 효과가 크게 나타남을 확인하였다.

This study was carried out by structural analysis using finite element method for designing high rigidity structure of multi - functional automatic lathe bed. As a result of comparison, it was confirmed that the weight was designed to be higher than the maximum deformation amount. The shape and dimensions of the main pillars and walls of the bed were changed to derive the most suitable design for the multifunction automatic lathe bed. A model of structural design was derived with the goal of minimizing the maximum deformation amount of $20{\mu}m$ or less and the weight of the bed. As a result of applying the derived design improvement proposal to the multifunctional automatic lathe bed, 57.4% weight reduction and maximum principal stress decreased by 45.0% than the initial design model. It is expected that the optimum design that meets these design conditions will reduce the weight of the structure as well as improve the safety of the structure and reduce the machining error in the operation of the machine tool.

본 연구에서는 국내 페트병의 경량화 가능성을 파악하기 위해 780종 이상의 빈용기 무게와 표시 용량의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 페트병은 사용목적에 따라 상압병(생수류), 내열병(쥬스류), 내압병(탄산류), 및 장기보관사용병(소스류)으로 구분하였으며 수집된 빈용기 무게와 표시 용량을 기반으로 각 페트병 종류별 경량화 지수(Lightness Index; L)를 산출하였다. 페트병 원천감량 설계 시 이용가능한 권고 기준 및 최적 기준을 경량화 지수를 이용하여 설정하였다. 예로 500 mL 생수병을 감량화 설계 기준에 맞게 생산할 경우 최적기준 반영시 약 4 g의 감량화가 가능하다. 작성된 설계 기준은 이미 관련 업계에 배포되었으며 생수병을 중심으로 적정 기준 정도의 경량화가 이루어지고 있다. 제시된 페트병 설계 기준은 국내외에서 출시된 페트병을 분석하여 무게 분포 특성을 반영한 결과이므로 현재 출시된 제품의 경량화 정도와 향후 개발되는 제품이 시장에서 어느 정도의 원천감량설계인지 알 수 있는 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
