Triangular pyramid and Quadrangular pyramid elements for partial double-layer spherical reticulated shells of pyramidal system are investigated in the present study. Macro programs for six typical partial double-layer spherical reticulated shells of pyramidal system are compiled by using the ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL). Internal force analysis of six spherical reticulated shells is carried out. Distribution regularity of the stress and displacement are studied. A shape optimization program is proposed by adopting the sequence two-stage algorithm (RDQA) in FORTRAN environment based on the characteristics of partial double-layer spherical reticulated shells of pyramidal system and the ideas of discrete variable optimization design. Shape optimization is achieved by considering the objective function of the minimum total steel consumption, global and locality constraints. The shape optimization of six spherical reticulated shells is calculated with the span of 30m~120m and rise to span ratio of 1/7~1/3. The variations of the total steel consumption along with the span and rise to span ratio are discussed with contrast to the results of shape optimization. The optimal combination of main design parameters for six spherical reticulated shells is investigated, i.e., the number of the optimal grids. The results show that: (1) The Kiewitt and Geodesic partial double-layer spherical reticulated shells of triangular pyramidal system should be preferentially adopted in large and medium-span structures. The range of rise to span ratio is from 1/6 to 1/5. (2) The Ribbed and Schwedler partial double-layer spherical reticulated shells of quadrangular pyramidal system should be preferentially adopted in small-span structures. The rise to span ratio should be 1/4. (3) Grids of the six spherical reticulated shells can be optimized after shape optimization and the total steel consumption is optimized to be the least.

Recently, the development of new structural model in fixed partial denture system is required to be started from the conceptual design with low cost, high performance and quality. In this point, a FEM based design of partial denture is used to investigate stress distribution on the durable shape. In this paper, the structural performances of partial dentures were analyzed under three biting forces. The periodontal embedding model is introduced on behalf of the detailed supporting tissue, which is composed of dentin, cortical bone, cancellous bone and periodontal ligament. Using topology optimization, the optimal reinforcement layout of connector was obtained and the detail shape in the fixed partial denture was designed.

Response surface analysis has been a popular tool conducted by engineers in many processes. In this paper, response surface function, named partial least squares response surface function is proposed. Partial least squares response surface function is a function of partial least squares components and the response surface modeling is used in either a first-order or a second-order model. Also, this approach will have the engineers be able to do the response surface modeling and the process optimization even when the number of experimental runs is less than the number of model parameters. This idea is applied to the nondesign data and an application of partial least squares response surface function to the process optimization is considered.

이산화 된 구조물의 위상최적화 과정은 균일하게 분포된 재료 밀도의 위상으로 표현되는 초기 설계영역을 시발점으로 한다. 최적화 과정 동안 구조물의 위상은 고정된 설계영역 내에 주어진 최적화 문제를 만족시키는 방향으로 변화하면서, 최종적으로 최적 위상의 재료 밀도 분포를 생산한다. Eschenauer et al.에 의해 제안되었던 설계영역 안에 구멍을 도입하는 개념은 원래 경계면의 최적화 문제에 대해 설계변수의 유한적인 변화를 촉진시켜 최적화의 수렴성 개선을 도모하기 위함이었으나, 위상최적화의 관점에서는 초기 위상의 정의에 따라 다양한 최적 위상이 생산되는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구에서는 초기 설계영역 안에 국소적인 솔리드 상을 도입해 초기 위상에 변화를 주었을 때, 한정된 재료 하에 구조물에 배치 가능한 다양한 최적 위상을 산출할 수 있음을 검증하였다. 수치 예제로서 초기 설계영역 내에 다양한 치수를 가지는 국부적인 원형 솔리드의 고정된 개수를 투입하여 간단한 MBB-보의 위상최적 설계를 수행하였다.

This paper presents a moth-flame optimization (MFO)-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT) method for photovoltaic (PV) systems. The MFO algorithm is a new optimization method that exhibits satisfactory performance in terms of exploration, exploitation, local optima avoidance, and convergence. Therefore, the MFO algorithm is quite suitable for solving multiple peaks of PV systems under partial shading conditions (PSCs). The proposed MFO-MPPT is compared with four MPPT algorithms, namely the perturb and observe (P&O)-MPPT, incremental conductance (INC)-MPPT, particle swarm optimization (PSO)-MPPT and whale optimization algorithm (WOA)-MPPT. Simulation and experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can extract the global maximum power point (MPP) with greater tracking speed and accuracy under various conditions.

Statements of problem: All ceramic fixed partial denture cores can be made by the slip casting method and the advanced alumina tape method. The fracture resistance of these core connector areas is relatively low. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to standardize the appropriate volumetric figure and location of the connectors in the alumina core fabricated in alumina tape to be used in fixed partial dentures by way of topology optimization. Material and method: A maxillary anterior three-unit bridge alumina core with teeth form and surrounding periodontal apparatus model was used to ultimately design the most structurally rigid form of the connector. Loadings from a $0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ to the axis of each tooth were applied and analyzed with the 3-D finite element analysis method. Using the results from these experiments, the topology optimization was applied and the optimal reinforcement layout of connector was obtained and the detail shape in the fixed partial denture core was designed. Results: The modified prosthesis with the form of a bulk in the lower lingual surface of the connector in the event, reduced the stress concentration up to 20% in the 3-D FEA. Conclusion: The formation of a bulk in the lower lingual connector area of an alumina core for a fixed partial denture decreases the stress to a clinically favorable measure but does not harm the esthetic point of view. This result illustrates the possibility of clinical application of the modified form designed by the topology optimization method.

부분역최적화는 역최적화의 흥미로운 변형으로, 주어진 최적화문제와 그 문제의 부분해가 주어지면 이 부분해가 최적해에 포함되도록 문제를 최소한으로 수정하는 문제이다. 이 논문은 라인위에서 정의되는 순환외판원문제(TSP)를 다루는데, 이는 배달시스템, 창고 선반에서 물건을 수집하는 것, 등의 많은 응용을 가진다. 라인 위에서 위치하는 n개의 일이 주어지고 이 중 연속적으로 처리해야하는 일 k개가 부분적으로 주어진다. 각각의 일은 라인 위의 특정 장소에 위치하고 라인을 움직이는 서버에 의해 처리되어야 한다. 우리의 임무는 k개의 일이 최적해에서 연속적으로 처리되도록 n개의 일의 위치를 라인 위에서 최소한으로 조정하는 것이다. 이 논문에서 이 문제와 이 문제의 다양한 변종을 다항시간 내에 푸는 알고리즘을 개발한다. 구체적으로, 서버가 특정한 Forward Trip이라는 특정한 내부 알고리즘을 사용하는 경우와 일반적인 최적 알고리즘을 사용하는 경우에 대한 부분역최적화를 다룬다.

본 연구에서는 위상최적화 알고리즘의 수렴성을 개선하기 위해 설계영역에 초기 구멍을 도입하는 방법을 제시하는데, 이것은 경계면에 기초한 최적화 방법의 느린 수렴성을 완화하기 위해, Eschenauer et al.에 의해 고안된 버블 방법의 설계영역 안에 구멍을 도입하는 개념과 연계된다. 버블 방법과 달리, 제안된 방법에서는 최적화 과정동안 구멍의 위치를 정의하는 특성함수를 이용하지 않고, 최적화 초기화 단계에서만 초기 구멍을 도입하는데, 이러한 초기 설계영역 안의 솔리드와 보이드 영역들은 고정되는 것이 아니라 합쳐지거나 쪼개지면서 변화된다. 따라서 위상최적화 알고리즘에서 구멍의 이동에 관련된 복잡한 수치적인 계산 없이 자동적으로 설계변수의 유한변화를 더욱 강화시키기 때문에 목적함수 값의 수렴성을 개선할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 치수와 형상의 구멍을 포함하는 초기 설계영역을 가지는 Michell형 보의 위상 최적설계를 밀도분포법으로 불리는 SIMP를 이용하여 수행하였다. 이를 통해 위상최적화의 수렴성을 개선하고 최적위상과 형상에 영향을 미치는 초기 구멍의 효과를 검증하였다.

This paper describes a systematic way of identifying the horizontal coefficient of consolidation for clayey soil under undrained condition and silty soil under partial drained condition by applying an optimization technique to the early part of dissipation data measured from the self-boring pressuremeter strain holding test. An analytical solution developed by Randolph & Wroth (1979) was implemented in normalized form to express the build-up and dissipation of excess pore pressures around a pressuremeter as a function of the rigidity index. Horizontal coefficient of consolidation was determined by minimizing the differences between theoretical and measured excess pore pressure curves using optimization technique. It was found that the proposed optimization technique can evaluate in-situ horizontal coefficient of consolidation rationally, which is similar with that obtained from the piezocone dissipation test. Furthermore, proposed method can evaluate appropriate coefficient of consolidation for soil under partially drained condition.

For the improvement of aerodynamic performance of the turbine blade in a turbopump for the liquid rocket engine, the optimization of turbine profile shape has been studied. The turbine in a turbopump in this study is a partial admission of impulse type, which has twelve nozzles and supersonic inflow. Due to the separated nozzles and supersonic expansion, the flow field becomes complicates and shows oblique shocks and flow separation. To increase the blade power, redesign of the blade shape using CFD and optimization method was attempted. The turbine cascade shape was represented by four design parameters. For optimization, genetic algorithm based upon non-gradient search has been selected as a optimizer. As a result, the final blade has about 4 percent more blade power than the initial shape.
