복합가공기 분야에서 고속 및 고정밀화에 대한 요구가 늘어남에 따라 복합가공기의 강성과 진동에 관한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 경험에 의존한 설계로 인해 개발 시간이 많이 소요되며 적절한 설계에도 어려움이 많아 공작기계 설계에 구조 최적화 FEM의 활용이 많아지고 있다. 그러나, 현재 구조물의 응력 분포를 통한 최적화를 주로 활용하고 있어 구조물의 진동 상태를 고려하여 최적화하기에는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 5축 복합가공기에서 가공에 가장 많은 영향을 끼치는 헤드 구조물의 최적화를 위하여 유한요소해석을 활용한 정적 구조해석, 모드 해석, 가진 주파수 해석을 진행하였으며, 도출된 응력 분포, 변형, 고유진동수, 가진 주파수 그래프를 활용하고 적절한 목적함수와 설계변수를 설정하여 정강성과 동강성을 모두 고려한 위상 최적화 해석 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

An efficient method was developed in this study to obtain optimal stacking sequences, thicknesses, and minimum weights of stiffened laminated composite shells under combined loading conditions and stiffener layouts using genetic algorithms (GAs) and finite element analyses. Among many parameters in designing composite laminates determining a optimal stacking sequence that may be formulated as an integer programming problem is a primary concern. Of many optimization algorithms, GAs are powerful methodology for the problem with discrete variables. In this paper the optimal stacking sequence was determined, which gives the maximum critical buckling load factor and the minimum weight as well. To solve this problem, both the finite element analysis by ABAQUS and the GA-based optimization procedure have been implemented together with an interface code. Throughout many parametric studies using this analysis tool, the influences of stiffener sizes and three different types of stiffener layouts on the stacking sequence changes were throughly investigated subjected to various combined loading conditions.

Deep drawing is a forming process in which a blank of sheet metal is radially drawn into a forming die by the mechanical action of a punch and converted to required shape. Deep drawing involves complex material flow conditions and force distributions. Radial drawing stresses and tangential compressive stresses are induced in flange region due to the material retention property. These compressive stresses result in wrinkling phenomenon in flange region. Normally blank holder is applied for restricting wrinkles. Tensile stresses in radial direction initiate thinning in the wall region of cup. The thinning results into cracking or fracture. The finite element method is widely applied worldwide to simulate the deep drawing process. For real-life simulations of deep drawing process an accurate numerical model, as well as an accurate description of material behavior and contact conditions, is necessary. The finite element method is a powerful tool to predict material thinning deformations before prototypes are made. The proposed innovative methodology combines two techniques for prediction and optimization of thinning in automotive sealing cover. Taguchi design of experiments and analysis of variance has been applied to analyze the influencing process parameters on Thinning. Mathematical relations have been developed to correlate input process parameters and Thinning. Optimization problem has been formulated for thinning and Genetic Algorithm has been applied for optimization. Experimental validation of results proves the applicability of newly proposed approach. The optimized component when manufactured is observed to be safe, no thinning or fracture is observed.

In the present study, the structural safety of the bolt portion and collet tool structure of the pipe-fitting tool is analyzed by using the finite element technique. Two forces as piston forces with the magnitude of 187.5 Tons are applied to the inner and outer portions of the collet tool, respectively. A structural load of 750 Tons is applied to the bolt portion. In the analysis results, it is found that the structure becomes safe under the current loading conditions. The reliability rating of the pipe is calculated in this study. The material properties of the actual material are evaluated by using mechanical testing. Therefore, the material properties are used to carry out static structural and optimization analysis.

This paper proposes a generalized regression neural network (GRNN) based algorithm for data interpolation and design optimization of brushless dc (BLDC) motor. The procedure makes use of magnet length, stator slot opening and air gap length as design variables. Cogging torque and average torque are treated as performance indices. The optimal design necessitates mitigating the cogging torque and maximizing the average torque by varying design variables. The data set for interpolation and ensuing design optimisation using GRNN is obtained by modeling a standard BLDC motor using finite element analysis (FEA) tool MagNet 7.1.1. The performance indices of the standard motor obtained using FEA are validated with an experimental model and an analytical method. The optimal design is authenticated using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and the performance indices of the optimal design obtained using GRNN is validated using FEA. The results indicate the suitability of GRNN as an interpolation and design optimization tool for a BLDC motor.

In this study, an axi-symmetric finite element program for elastic analysis of the die set shrink fitted in cold extrusion was developed. The geometrical constraint according to shrink fit was enforced by employing the Lagrange multiplier method. The numerical results for strain and stress distributions in the die set including single and multi stress rings assembled by shrink fit were compared well with the Lame's equation for thick-walled solution available in the literature. To extend the applicability of the analysis program developed, various cases without or with stress ring and with pre-stress applied on stress ring were numerically investigated as well. This numerical approach enables the optimization study to determine optimal dimensions of die set to improve tool life for practical use in industry.

This paper proposes a design optimization approach for core of solenoid actuators by combining optimization techniques with the finite element method (FEM). A solenoid is an important element part which hydraulically controls a transmission system, etc. The demanded feature of the solenoid is that it performs an electromagnetic force output being constant regardless of the stroke and being proportional to coil current. The plunger compresses a spring with a minimum force of 12 N over an 1.7 mm travel. The orthogonal array, analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques and response surface optimization, are employed to determine the main effects and their optimal design variables. The methodology is demonstrated as a optimization tool for the core design of a solenoid actuator.

Crack generation during die compaction and distortion during sintering have been critical problems for the conventional pressing and sintering process. Until now, trial and error approach with engineers' industrial experiences has been only solution to protect the crack generation and distortion. However, with complexity in shape and process it is very difficult to design process conditions without CAE analysis. We developed the exclusive CAE software (PMsolver/Compaction) for die compaction process. The accuracy of PMsolver is verified by comparing the finite element simulation results with experimental results. The simplified procedures to find material properties are proposed and verified with iron based powder and tungsten carbide powder. Based on the accurate simulation result by PMsolver, the optimal process conditions are designed to get uniform density distribution in a powder compact after die compaction process by using a derivative based optimization scheme. In addition, the effect of non-uniform density distribution in a powder compact on distortion during sintering is shown in case of the fabrication of tungsten carbide insert.
