Two phase simulated annealing algorithm is presented as a structural optimization technique and applied to minimum weight design of space trusses subjected to stress and displacement constraints under multiple loading conditions. Univariate searching algorithm is adopted for automatic selection of initial values of design variables for SA algorithm. The proper values of cooling factors and reasonable stopping criteria for optimum design of space truss structures are proposed to enhance the performance of optimization process. Optimum weights and design solutions are presented for two well-blown example structures and compared with those reported in the literature.

An optimization algorithm based on Genetic Algorithm(GA) is developed for discrete optimization of reinforced concrete plane frame by constructing databases. Under multiple loading conditions, discrete optimum sets of reinforcements for both negative and positive moments in beams, their dimensions, column reinforcement, and their column dimensions are found. Construction practice is also implemented by linking columns and beams by group ‘Connectivity’between columns located in the same column line is also considered. It is shown that the developed genetic algorithm was able to reach optimum design for reinforced concrete plane frame construction practice.

최적 해를 다항시간으로 얻을 수 있는 알고리즘이 알려져 있지 않은 NP-완전인 상자포장 문제의 일종인 바지선 적재 문제에 대해, Gu$\acute{e}$ret et al.은 $O(m^4)$ 수행 복잡도의 선형계획법으로 해를 얻고자 하였다. 반면에, 본 논문에서는 이득 우선순위로 적재하는 규칙인 O(m log m) 복잡도의 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 첫 번째로 이득 우선순위를 결정하였다. 다음으로, 이득 우선순위 물품들을 바지선에 적재하는 방법으로 초기 적재 결과를 얻었다. 마지막으로, 바지선 적재 용량을 미달하는 경우, 이전에 적재된 물품과 미선적된 물품을 상호 교환하여 바지선 적재용량을 충족시켰다. 실험 결과, 제안된 알고리즘은 NP-완전 문제인 바지선 적재 문제에 대해 선형계획법의 $O(m^4)$를 O(m log m)으로 단축시켰다.

오늘날 컨테이너터미널의 운영방식의 변화를 통해 컨테이너터미널의 효율을 증대시키기 위한 대처방안에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 컨테이너터미널의 효율을 증대시키기 위해서는 적하계획 수립이 상당히 중요한 역할을 한다. 적하계획은 크게 적재의 위치를 결정하는 문제와 적재의 순서를 결정하는 문제로 나눌 수 있는데, 본 논문에서는 보다 효율적인 적재순서 결정 방안을 제시한다. 컨테이너 적재순서 결정 문제는 장치위치 및 운영 장비 등 여러 가지 경우의 수를 고려해야 하는 조합 최적화 문제이다. 컨테이너 적재순서를 결정하는 기존의 클러스터 구성방식은 재처리 문제로 작업의 효율성을 높이는데 한계가 있다. 따라서 선적지시서와 야드맵을 기초로 동일한 속성을 가진 컨테이너들을 계층적 클러스터링 방법을 적용하여 스택단위의 클러스터로 구성하고, 작업순서의 제약을 정의하는 보다 효율적인 컨테이너 적재순서결정 방법을 제안한다. 그 과정에서 작업순서 제약을 정의함으로서 클러스터간의 가능한 작업경로를 파악할 수 있고, 작업경로에 대한 제약적 탐색이 가능하여 기존의 방식에 비해 탐색효율이 증가됨을 알 수 있다.

This paper presents the application of topology optimization as a design tool for a steel railway bridge. The choice of a steel railway bridge is dictated by the particular situation that it is suitable for topology optimization design. On the one hand, the current manufacturing techniques for steel structures (additive manufacturing techniques not included) are highly appropriate for material optimization and weight reduction to improve the overall structural efficiency, improve production efficiency, and reduce costs. On the other hand, the design of a railway bridge, especially at higher speeds, is dominated by minimizing the deformations, this being the basic principle of compliance optimization. However, a classical strategy of topology optimization considers typically only one or a very limited number of load cases, while the design of a steel railway bridge is characterized by relatively concentrated convoy loads, which may be present or absent at any location of the structure. The paper demonstrates the applicability of considering multiple load configurations during topology optimization and proves that a different and better optimal layout is obtained than the one from the classical strategy.

With improvement in innovative manufacturing technologies, it became possible to fabricate any complex shaped structural design for practical applications. This allows for the fabrication of curvilinearly stiffened pressure vessels and pipes. Compared to straight stiffeners, curvilinear stiffeners have shown to have better structural performance and weight savings under certain loading conditions. In this paper, an optimization framework for designing curvilinearly stiffened composite pressure vessels and pipes is presented. NURBS are utilized to define curvilinear stiffeners over the surface of the pipe. An integrated tool using Python, Rhinoceros 3D, MSC.PATRAN and MSC.NASTRAN is implemented for performing the optimization. Rhinoceros 3D is used for creating the geometry, which later is exported to MSC.PATRAN for finite element model generation. Finally, MSC.NASTRAN is used for structural analysis. A Bi-Level Programming (BLP) optimization technique, consisting of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Gradient-Based Optimization (GBO), is used to find optimal locations of stiffeners, geometric dimensions for stiffener cross-sections and layer thickness for the composite skin. A cylindrical pipe stiffened by orthogonal and curvilinear stiffeners under torsional and bending load cases is studied. It is seen that curvilinear stiffeners can lead to a potential 10.8% weight saving in the structure as compared to the case of using straight stiffeners.

Numerous methods have been proposed in predicting formability of sheet metals based on microstructural and macro-scale properties of sheets. However, there are limited number of papers on the optimization problem to increase formability of sheet metals. In the present study, we aim to use novel optimization algorithms in neural networks to maximize the formability of sheet metals based on tensile curve and texture of aluminum sheet metals. In this regard, experimental and numerical evaluations of effects of texture and tensile properties are conducted. The texture effects evaluation is performed using Taylor homogenization method. The data obtained from these evaluations are gathered and utilized to train and validate an artificial neural network (ANN) with different optimization methods. Several optimization method including grey wolf algorithm (GWA), chimp optimization algorithm (ChOA) and whale optimization algorithm (WOA) are engaged in the optimization problems. The results demonstrated that in aluminum alloys the most preferable texture is cube texture for the most formable sheets. On the other hand, slight differences in the tensile behavior of the aluminum sheets in other similar conditions impose no significant decreases in the forming limit diagram under stretch loading conditions.

In order to prevent the interface delamination of an plastic IC package in the infrared (IR) soldering process, we tried to reduce stress by parameterization, sensitivity analysis and unconstraint optimization. The design variables of dimensions and material properties are determined among all the possible variables from the parametric study. Their optimized values are determined by applying the unconstraint optimization to the parameterized IC package. The maximum von-Mises stress value decreases greatly by optimum design.

During fuel irradiation tests, all parts of cylindrical structure with multiple holes act as heat sources due to fussion heat and ${\gamma}$-flux. The high temperature is especially generated in the center of pellet. Because of the high temperature, many problems occur, such as melting of pellet and declining of heat transfer between cladding and coolant. In this paper, it is attempted to minimize the temperature of pellet using optimization method. For thermal and optimization analysis of structure, the finite element method code, ANSYS 5.7 is used. Through the optimum design process, the temperature of SBT diminished 10％ and the temperature of OBT diminished 18％.
