The drift and inter-story drift control method for steel structures subjected to seismic forces is formulated into a structural optimization problem in this paper. The formulated optimization problem with constraints on drift, inter-story drifts, and member strengthes are transformed into an unconstrained optimization problem. For the solution of the tranformed optimization problem an searching algorithm based on the gradient projection method utilizing gradient information on eigenvalues and eigenvectors are developed and presented in detail. The performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by application to drift control of a verifying example.

By managing not only geographical information but also various kinds of attribute data. GIS presents useful information for decision-makings. Most of decision-making problems using GIS can be formulated into network-optimization problems. In this study we deal with the implementation of network optimization system that extracts data from the database in GIS. solves a network optimization problem and present optimal solutions through GIS' graphical user interface. We design a nitwork optimization system and present some implementation techniques by showing a prototype of the network optimization system. Our network optimization system consists of three components : the interface module for user and GIS the basic network the program module the advanced network optimization program module. To handle large-scale networks the program module including various techniques for large sparse networks is also considered, For the implementation of the network optimization system we consider two approaches : the method using script languages supported by GIS and the method using client tools of GIS. Finally some execution results displayed by the prototype version of network optimization system are given.

In this paper, a new method for constrained optimization of noisy functions is proposed. In approximate optimization using response surface methods, if constraints have severe noise, the approximate feasible region defined by approximate constraints is apt to include some of the infeasible region defined by actual constraints. This can cause the approximate optimum to converge into the infeasible region. In the proposed method, the approximate optimization is performed with the approximate constraints shifted by their deviations, which are calculated using a diagonal quadratic response surface method. This can prevent the approximate optimum from converging into the infeasible region. To fit the objective and constraints into diagonal quadratic models, we select the center and 4 additional points along each axis of design variables as experimental points. The deviation of each function is calculated using the differences between the real and approximate function values at the experimental points. A sequential approximate optimization technique based on the trust region algorithm is adopted to manage approximate models. The proposed approach is validated by solving some design problems. The results of the problems show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

형상 최적설계 중에 발생하는 절점의 과도한 이동은 요소망을 왜곡하고, 결국 최적해의 저하를 유발한다. 이러한 문제를 개선한 형상 최적설계 기법을 개발하였다. 이 방법은 구조물의 형상이 변해 갈 수 있는 충분한 공간의 설계 영역을 정하여, 균일하고 세밀한 요소망을 미리 생성한다. 각각의 최적화 단계마다 모든 요소들과 구조물의 위치 관계를 검사하여, 내부의 요소에는 실제의 물성치를 부여하고, 외부에 존재하는 요소는 0에 가까운 물성치를 부여한다. 변위와 고유 진동수의 제한조건을 가진 두 개의 예제를 통해 이 방법의 특징을 살펴보았다.

Human posture prediction and motion simulaiton methods try to solve inverse kinematic problems based on the optimization concept. It is of great concern to develop an optimization method which soloves complicated optimization models in an efficient way in order for the models to be biomechanically sound. In this study, a new optimization method for posture prediction, which is named the Complex Method, is presented. The Complex Method demonstrates more flexibility in a way that it can deal with various forms of objective functions with constraints. This is because the method is a function-value-based approach. A two-eimensional whole-body lifting task was selected as an example of posture prediction, and a comparison study with te incrementation method was conducted in order to evaluate the accuracy of the Complex Method.

This paper presents a new method for hi-objective optimization. Ordinary weighted sum method is easy to implement, but it has two significant drawbacks: (1) the solution distribution by the weighted sum method is not uniform, and (2) the method cannot determine any solutions that reside in non-convex regions of a Pareto front. The proposed adaptive weighted sum method does not solve a multiobjective optimization in a predetermined way, but it focuses on the regions that need more refinement by imposing additional inequality constraints. It is demonstrated that the adaptive weighted sum method produces uniformly distributed solutions and finds solutions on non-convex regions. Two numerical examples and a simple structural problem are presented to verify the performance of the proposed method.

A current trend of design methodologies is to make engineers objectify or automate the decision-making process. Numerical optimization is an example of such technologies. However, in numerical optimization, the uncertainties are uncontrollable to efficiently objectify or automate the process. To better manage these uncertainties, the Taguchi method, reliability-based optimization and robust optimization are being used. To obtain the target performance with the maximum robustness is the main functional requirement of a mechanical system. In this research, a design procedure for global robust optimization is developed based on the kriging and global optimization approaches. The DACE modeling, known as the one of Kriging interpolation, is introduced to obtain the surrogate approximation model of the function. Robustness is determined by the DACE model to reduce real function calculations. The simulated annealing algorithm of global optimization methods is adopted to determine the global robust design of a surrogated model. As the postprocess, the first order second-moment approximation method is applied to refine the robust optimum. The mathematical problems and the MEMS design problem are investigated to show the validity of the proposed method.

This paper considers a simultaneous optimization problem of structure and control systems. The problem is generally formulated as a non-convex optimization problem for the design parameters of mechanical structure and controller. Therefore, it is not easy to obtain the global solutions for practical problems. In this paper, we parameterize all design parameters of the mechanical structure such that the parameters work in the control system as decentralized static output feedback gains. Using this parameterization, we have formulated a simultaneous optimization problem in which the design specification is defined by the Η$_2$and Η$\_$$\infty$/ norms of the closed loop transfer function. So as to lead to a convex problem we approximate the nonlinear terms of design parameters to the linear terms. Then, we propose a convex optimization method that is based on linear matrix inequality (LMI). Using this method, we can surely obtain suboptimal solution for the design specification. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
