For the case where the lifetime at a constant stress level has exponential distribution, optimal accelerated life test plans are developed under the assumptions of intermittent inspection and Type I censoring. In a optimal plan, the low and high stress levels, the proportion of test units allocated and the inspection times at each stress are determined such that the asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimator of logarithmic transformed mean at the use condition is minimized. In addition to the optimal plan in which numerical technique to solve the set of nonlinear equations must be employed to determine inspection times at each stress level, we also propose another plans which employ equally-spaced or equal probability inspection schemes at two overstress levels of corresponding optimal one. For both optimal and proposed plans, computational results indicate that the asymptotic variance of the estimated mean at the use stress is insensitive to number of inspections at overstress levels for the range of parameter values considered.

This paper shows that the performance of a nonlinear fluid engine mount can be improved by an optimal design process. The property of a hydraulic mount with inertia track and decoupler differs according to the disturbance frequency range. Since the excitation amplitude is large at low excitation frequency range and is small at high excitation frequency range, mathematical model of the mount can be divided into two linear models. One is a low frequency model and the other is a high frequency model. The combination of the two models is very useful in the analysis of the mount and is used for the first time in the optimization of an engine mount in this paper. Normally, the design of a fluid mount is based on a trial and error approach in industry because there are many design parameters. In this study, a nonlinear mount was optimized to minimize the transmissibilities of the mount at the notch and the resonance frequencies for low and high-frequency models by a popular optimization technique of sequential quadratic programming (SQP) supported by $MATLAB^{(R)}$subroutine. The results show that the performance of the mount can be greatly improved for the low and high frequencies ranges by the optimization method.

This study aims to optimize the DL-EPR test solution for duplex stainless steel S31083 using the Taguchi design. The test solution parameters applied to the Taguchi design are H₂SO₄, NaCl, KSCN concentration, and temperature. In the experimental design, an orthogonal array of 4 levels 4 factor L₁₆(4⁴) was used. Output values for the orthogonal array were used for resolution (degree of sensitization) and selective etch (I_a) values. The optimal test solution conditions were selected by comparing the normalized S/N ratio for the two reaction properties. As a result, the H₂SO₄ and NaCl were identified as the main factors influencing the sensitivity measurement, but the delta statistics showed that the KSCN concentration and temperature had relatively low influence. The optimal condition was identified as 1.5 M H₂SO₄+0.03 M KSCN+1.5M NaCl at 30 ℃. The degree of sensitization presented a tendency to depend on the heat treatment temperature and time in the optimal test solution. This investigation confirmed the possibility of optimizing the experiment solution for the DL-EPR test of stainless steel using the Taguchi technique.

Titanium alloys are a vital element for developing advanced structural components, especially in aerospace applications. However, process design for successful forming of titanium alloy is a difficult task, which is to be achieved within a very narrow range of process parameters. Presented in this paper is a finite element - based optimal design technique as applied to ductile fracture minimization process design in backward extrusion of titanium alloys.

In this study, the computer code for the optimal design of road tunnel ventilation system based on one-dimensional analysis of the air flow was developed. The control volume method was used to calculate the air velocities and the concentration distribution of pollutants(CO, NOx, Particulate) for various tunnel ventilation system. This code was validated by comparing the calculation results to the practical design data for the road tunnel ventilation system. The calculation results were in accord with the practical design data.

The previous LQ-servo PI design methods have some serious design problems happened from the frequency matching of the maximum and minimum singular values of loop transfer function at both low and high frequency regions on the Bode plot. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a new design technique based on the inverse-optimal control and convex optimization.

Track shoes improve the off-road driving ability of tanks. The strength of the track shoe body directly affects the driving ability of tanks, self-propelled artillery, and armored vehicles. In this study, the design technique for track shoe body was investigated. To select the optimal design of track shoe body, three track shoe body models were suggested and compared. Tensile strength was calculated using computer-aided engineering (CAE) analysis. Compressive tests were conducted using the original tank sprocket because sprocket compression is critical to the lifespan of the track shoe body. As a result, one track shoe body design was selected and the process of track shoe body design was described.

본 논문에서는 CMOS 디지털 회로상의 플립플롭의 위치를 이동시키는 리타이밍 변환에 유전자 알고리즘을 적용하여 회로의 최적 동작 속도를 유지하면서 전력의 소모를 줄일 수 있는 설계 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 설계 방법은 최적 속도를 구현하는 리타이밍 단계와 유전자 알고리즘이 적용되는 저전력 리타이밍의 두 단계로 이루어진다. 제안된 저전력 리타이밍 설계 도구를 예제 회로의 설계에 적용하고 설계된 회로의 성능을 Synopsys시의 Design Analyzer로 평가한 결과, 임계 경로 지연은 약 30~50% 가량 감소하였으며 동적 전력 소모는 약 1.4~18.4% 가량 감소함을 관찰하였다.

A new controller design method for an oscillatory servomotor system withlow torsional resonant frequencyis investigated to directly satisfyte given time domain specifications under the hardware constraints. A PIDM controller with optimized feedback gains using a new time weighted modelfollowing performance index is employed in this system. Necessaryconditions for optimality are derived and a design procedure for the desired moedel system considering the actualhardware limitations are also syggested. Using the proposed technique, the output responese of an oscillatory servomotor system can closely match to that of a desired model system by effectively suppressing the torsional resonant phenomenon. The usefulness of proposed design technique is clearly shown in the design examples.
