This paper presents a study on the design optimization of a 5 kW plasma discharger for driving plasma reactor. The proposed study is composed of a high-frequency inverter based on the full-bridge circuit using soft switching techniques for high-frequency switching. The switching frequency in the operating region is the area of 130-200 kHz. By applying the LC resonance technique and a variable switching frequency, control technique is designed to be stable under changes in the load characteristics of the plasma reactor. This paper presents a quantitative analysis technique for design optimization. Experiments are performed according to load characteristic variations depending on the vacuum of the plasma reactor. This paper has verified the topology and design method for the 5 kW plasma discharger design.

General portal machine represents a distinct weak spot concerning their structural behavior because of long protruding structure components, such as saddles and rams. The weak point causes the deformation of the machine tool and consequently rises a severe machining error. The purpose of this study is to improve the structural design of crossrail in order to minimize it's distortion. Tool Center Point (TCP) was chosen as a reference point for evaluating the distortion effect of a crossrail and topological optimization was adopted as a method of structural design improvement. The displacements of TCP according to the machining positions were investigated by structural analyses for both of original crossrail design and the improved one. The comparing results showed that the displacement of TCP could be reduced about 55% maximum.

Aiming at the negative sequence and harmonic problems in the operation of railway static power conditioners, an optimization compensation strategy for negative sequence and harmonics is studied in this paper. First, the hybrid RPC topology and compensation principle are analyzed to obtain different compensation zone states and current capacities. Second, in order to optimize the RPC capacity configuration, the minimum RPC compensation capacity is calculated according to constraint conditions, and the optimal compensation coefficient and compensation angle are obtained. In addition, the voltage unbalance ${\varepsilon}_U$ and power factor requirements are satisfied. A PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) algorithm is used to calculate the three indexes for minimum compensating energy. The proposed method can precisely calculate the optimal compensation capacity in real time. Finally, MATLAB simulations and an experimental platform verify the effectiveness and economics of the proposed algorithm.

본 논문에서는 페이즈필드 설계법 기반의 피로 제약 조건 구조물의 위상최적설계를 수행하였다. 페이즈필드 설계법의 도입으로 기존의 위상최적설계법에서 발생하기 쉬운 중간 영역의 크기를 크게 감소시켰다. 수정된 upper bound P-norm의 도입으로 모든 지점의 응력 성분을 고려하면서, 전역적 응력값이 국부적 최대 응력값과 근사한 값을 가질 수 있도록 설정하였다. 또한 기존의 피로 파괴 제약 조건 위상최적설계에서 다루지 않았던 응력 수정 계수에 대한 고려를 위하여 위상최적설계 결과물의 1차 주응력 성분을 고려하여 응력 수정 계수를 도입하고 이에 따라 허용 응력 진폭 값을 수정 하였다. 이를 통하여 인장 응력으로 인한 내구 한도 감소 요인을 반영한 체계적인 설계 방안을 제시하였다.

The material-based homogenization design method generates arbitrary topologies of initial structural design as well as reinforcement structural design by controlling the amount of material available. However, if a small volume constraint is specified in the design of Lightweight structures, thin and slender structures are usually obtained. For these structures stability becomes one of the most important requirements. Thus, to prevent overall buckling (that is, to increase stability), the objective of the design is to maximize the buckling load of a structure. In this paper, the buckling analysis is restricted to the linear buckling behavior of a structure. The global stability requirement is defined as a stiffness constraint, and determined by solving the eigenvalue problem. The optimality conditions to update the design variables are derived based on the sequential convex approximation method and the dual method. Illustrated examples are presented to validate the feasibility of this method in the design of structures.

Car seat is one the most important element to make comfortable drivability. It can absorb the impact or vibration during driving state. In addition to those factors, it is needed to have enough strength for passenger safety. From energy efficiency and environmental point of view lighter passenger car seat frame becomes hot issue in the auto industry. In this paper, weight optimization methodology is investigated for commercial car seat frame using CAE. Optimized designs for seat frame are developed using commercially available finite element code(ANSYS) and design of experiment method. At first, car seat frame is modelled using 3-D computer aided design tool(CATIA) and simplified for finite element modelling. Finite element analysis is carried out for the case of FMVSS 202 Head Restraint test to check the strength of the original seat frame. Two base brackets are selected as optimized elements that are the heaviest parts in the seat frame. After finite element analysis for the brackets with similar load condition to the previous test optimization technique is applied for 10% to 50% weight reduction. Design of experiment is utilized to obtain optimization design for the bracket based on the modified 50% weight reduction model in which outer shape of the bracket is conserved. Weight optimization models result in the decrease of the strength in spite of weight reduction. The more design points should be considered to get better optimized model. The more advanced optimization technique may be utilized for more parts of the seat frame to increase whole seat frame characteristics in the future.

Recently, design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) technology has become a prominent design methodology for exploiting 3D printing, which leads the Fourth Industrial Revolution. When manufactured by the 3D printing method, it is possible to produce several shapes compared to the conventional casting or cutting process. DfAM-as a newly-proposed design methodology-can be used to specially design products with various shapes to apply functional requirements. Topology optimization verifies load paths to determine the draft design, and a shape-optimized design with objective functions for weight reduction enables efficient lightweight product design. In this study, by using these two DfAM technologies, a lightweight and optimal design is constructed for a node part of a vehicle body with a space frame designed for a lightweight vehicle. DfAM methodologies for concept design and detailed design, and the associated results, are presented. Finally, the product was additively manufactured, a fatigue performance test was performed, and the design reliability was verified.

Low earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband network is a crucial part of the space information network. LEO satellite constellation design is a top-level design, which plays a decisive role in the overall performance of the LEO satellite network. However, the existing works on constellation design mainly focus on the coverage criterion and rarely take network performance into the design process. In this article, we develop a unified framework for constellation optimization design in LEO satellite broadband networks. Several design criteria including network performance and coverage capability are combined into the design process. Firstly, the quality of service (QoS) metrics is presented to evaluate the performance of the LEO satellite broadband network. Also, we propose a network stability model for the rapid change of the satellite network topology. Besides, a mathematical model of constellation optimization design is formulated by considering the network cost-efficiency and stability. Then, an optimization algorithm based on non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) is provided for the problem of constellation design. Finally, the proposed method is further evaluated through numerical simulations. Simulation results validate the proposed method and show that it is an efficient and effective approach for solving the problem of constellation design in LEO satellite broadband networks.

자기구성 지도는 주어진 입력에 대해 올바른 출력 값이 제공되지 않는 비교사 방식으로 학습된다. 또한, 반응하는 순서나 위치를 통해 위상이 보존(topology preserving)되는 특성을 가지고 있어 많은 분야에 응용되고 있다. 그러나, 자기 구성지도는 학습이 되기 전에 위상을 미리 고정시켜야 하기 때문에 실제 문제에 적용하기 어렵다는 단점을 가지고 있다. 구조 적응형 자기구성 지도는 자기구성 지도의 고정된 구조 때문에 발생하는 문제를 해결하기 위해 지도의 구조를 학습 중에 적절하게 변경시킨다. 이때, 변화된 구조의 가중치를 어떻게 초기화시킬 것인가 하는 것이 또한 중요한 문제이다. 이 논문에서는 구조 적응형 자기구성 지도 모델에서 유전자 알고리즘을 이용하여 분화된 노드의 가중치를 결정하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 기존의 구조 적응형 자기구성 지도보다 다소 높은 인식률을 보였고, 숫자 별 인식률 편차를 줄일 수 있었다. 오프라인 필기 숫자 데이터로 실험한 결과, 제안한 방법이 유용함을 알 수 있었다.
