An AS/RS construction cost minimization model under throughput rate requirement constraint has been developed, whose objective function includes S/R machine cost, storage rack cost, and interrace conveyor cost. S/R machine cost is a function of the storage rack height, the unit load weight, and the control logic used by the system, while storage rack cost is a function of the storage rack height, the weight and the volume of the unit load. Since the model is a nonlinear integer programming problem which is very hard to solve exactly with large problem size, a solution procedure is developed to determine the height and the length of the storage rack with a fixed number of S/R machines, while increasing the number of S/R machines one by one to meet the throughput rate requirement.

In this paper, we developed a optimal design system to optimize composite shell structures using genetic algorithm and expert system. The objective of the optimal design was to find designs that minimize weight of the structures and satisfy the design rules specified by the user. Buckling analyses of the composite shell structures were done to estimate buckling loads. Some example problems were selected and optimized with the developed system. And a GUI-based integrated design and optimization program, I-DOTCom was developed and introduced at the end of this paper.

Electric vehicle body has to be subjected to uniform load and requires auxiliary equipment such as air pipe and electric wire pipe. Especially, the cross beam supports the weight of passenger and electrical equipments. This need to use adaptive design in initial design stage to gain economy through interchangeability between many kinds of components. This study performs the topology optimization by the concept of homogenization based on optimality criteria method which is efficient for the problem with a number of boundary condition and design variable. Therefore this provides the method to determine the optimum position and the shape of circular hole in the cross beam and then can achieve the weight minimization of electric vehicle body.

In this light of economical engineering, the optimal configurations of ship structure that can save weights, production costs and operation costs should be investigated. This paper presents the general method of optimization based on non-linear programming and its application to weight and/or cost minimization of ship structure. Oil tanker is chosen as a ship type because of simple layout and easy calculation of stress. With the data of 16,200 DWT oil tanker built by KSEC 1980, this paper shows the procedure mentioned above by means of SUMT combined with two selected search methods. Then the differences between original and redesigned tanker structures are discussed.

Non-Traditional Optimization methods are successfully used in solving many engineering problems. Shaft is one of important element of machines and it is used to transmit power from a machine which produces power to a machine which absorbs power. In this paper, ten non-traditional optimization methods that are ALO, GWO, DA, FPA, FA, WOA, CSO, PSO, BA and GSA are used to find minimum weight of hollow shaft to get global optimal solution. The problem has two design variables and two inequality constraints. The comparative results show that the Particle Swarm Optimization outperforms other methods and the results are validated using ANSYS.

Corrugated bulkheads for a bulk carrier are divided into watertight bulkheads and deep tank bulkheads. Design of the watertight bulkheads is principally determined by the permissible limit of Classification and IACS requirements. But, the verification of strength through finite element analysis is indispensable for design of the deep tank bulkheads. A stage for stress evaluation of corrugated part is required for optimum structural design of the deep tank bulkheads. Since the finite element analysis for real model requires excessive amount of calculation time, in this study one corrugated structure is replaced with beam element and is idealized as 2 dimensional frame structure connected to upper and lower stool Minimum weight design of the deep tank bulkheads is performed through generalized sloped deflection method(GSDM) as direct calculation method. The purpose of this study is the development of design system for the minimization of steel weight of deep tank bulkheads as well as watertight bulkheads. Discrete variables are used as design variables for the practical design. Evolution strategies(ES) is used as an optimization technique.

Structural design, in general, is developed through trial and error technique which is guided by standards criteria and based on the intuition and experience of the engineer, a context that leads to structural over-dimensioning, with uneconomic solutions. Aiming to find the optimal design, structural optimization methods have been developed to find a balance between cost, structural safety, and material performance. These methods have become a great opportunity in the steel structural engineering domain since they have as their main purpose is weight minimization, a factor directly correlated to the real cost of the structure. Assuming an objective function of minimum weight with stress and displacement constraints provided by Brazilian standards, the present research proposes the sizing optimization and combined approach of sizing and shape optimization, through a software developed to implement the Simulated Annealing metaheuristic algorithm. Therefore, two steel plane frame layouts, each admitting four typical truss geometries, were proposed in order to expose the difference between the optimal solutions. The assessment of the optimal solutions indicates a notable weight reduction, especially in sizing and shape optimization combination, in which the quantity of design variables is increased along with the search space, improving the efficiency of the optimal solutions achieved.

다중반응표면 최적화는 다수의 반응변수(품질특성치)를 동시에 고려하여 최적의 입력변수 조건을 찾는 반응표면분석의 세부 분야이다. 가중평균제곱오차(Weighted Mean Squared Error, WMSE) 최소화법은 평균제곱오차의 두 구성 요소인 제곱편차와 분산에 가중치를 부여한 WMSE를 활용하는데, 반응변수별로 WMSE를 구하여 이들을 종합적으로 최소화한다. 지금까지 WMSE 최소화법과 관련하여 개발된 기법은 대부분 의사결정자의 선호도 정보를 문제풀이 이전에 결정할 것을 요구하는 선호도사전제시법에 해당된다. 그러나 현실적으로 의사결정자가 자신의 선호도 정보를 사전에 정확히 제공하는 것은 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 한계점을 개선하기 위하여 WMSE 최소화를 위한 선호도사후제시법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 의사결정자의 선호도 정보 없이 다수의 비지배적해를 생성한 후, 의사결정자가 생성된 비지배해 중 최고선호해를 선택하는 단계로 진행된다. 제안된 방법은 의사결정자로 하여금 전체 해집합의 트레이드오프 관계를 보다 폭넓은 시각으로 이해한 후 선호도 정보를 제시할 수 있도록 함으로써, 의사결정자의 선호도에 부합하는 최고선호해를 효과적으로 도출할 수 있다.

유압 브레이커는 굴착기의 암 끝에 장착되어 파쇄작업을 하는 부착작업기이다. 그러나 굴착기의 성능에 치명적인 영향을 미치는 유압 브레이커의 중량에 대한 연구는 아직 없었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유압 브레이커에서 대부분의 중량을 차지하고 있는 하우징에 대한 최적설계를 수행하였다. 유압 브레이커 하우징의 설계 요구사항은 정상 운전상태에서 파손없이 중량을 최소화하는 것이다. 직교배열표를 이용하여 실험점을 선정하였고, 실험점에서의 결과를 바탕으로 근사모델을 생성하여 최적 설계안을 도출하였다. 그 결과, 모든 구속조건을 만족하면서 유압 브레이커 하우징의 중량을 4.8% 감소시켰다.

본 다중반응표면 최적화는 다수의 반응변수(품질특성치)를 동시에 고려하여, 입력변수의 최적 조건을 찾는 것을 목적으로 한다. 지금까지 다중반응표면 최적화를 위하여 다양한 방법이 제안되어 왔는데, 그 중 평균제곱오차 최소화법은 다수의 반응변수의 평균과 표준편차를 동시에 고려하여 최적화하는 방법이다. 이 방법은 기본적으로 평균과 표준편차가 동일한 가중치를 가지고 있다는 것을 전제로 하고 있다. 그러나 문제의 상황에 따라 평균과 표준편차에 서로 다른 가중치를 부여해야 하는 경우도 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 기존의 평균제곱오차를 확대하여 평균과 표준편차에 서로 다른 가중치도 부여할 수 있도록 가중평균제곱오차 최소화법을 제안하고자 한다.
