Reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) is to get an optimal topology satisfying uncertainties of design variables. In this study, reliability-based topology optimization method is applied to the inner reinforcement of vehicle's hood based on BESO. A multi-objective topology optimization technique was implemented to obtain optimal topology of the inner reinforcement of the hood. considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion as well as natural frequency. Performance measure approach (PMA), which has probabilistic constraints that are formulated in terms of the reliability index, is adopted to evaluate the probabilistic constraints. To evaluate the obtained optimal topology by RBTO, it is compared with that of DTO of the inner reinforcement of the hood. It is found that the more suitable topology is obtained through RBTO than DTO even though the final volume of RBTO is a little bit larger than that of DTO. From the result, multiobjective optimization technique based on the BESO can be applied very effectively in topology optimization for vehicle's hood reinforcement considering the static stiffness of bending and torsion as well as natural frequency.

결정론적인 최적 설계 방법을 이용하는 경우 불확실성의 영향으로 인하여 제약조건의 위반이나 목표 성능의 저하를 초래할 수 있다. 이러한 까닭에 불확실성하에서 제약 조건에 대한 신뢰성을 보장하고 목적함수의 강건성을 확보하는 설계가 필요하다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 강건성과 신뢰성을 평가하기 위하여 Monte Carlo Simulation(MCS)을 이용하였으며, 계산 효율의 증가를 위하여 MCS에 적합한 근사모델을 선정하는 과정을 거쳐 신경망 모델을 채택하게 되었다. 이를 공력-구조가 연동된 항공기 날개 설계 문제에 적용하여 봄으로써 그 가능성을 타진하였다. 불확실성을 고려한 최적 설계를 수행한 결과 요구되는 신뢰도 수준을 만족시키면서 baseline보다 강건한 최적해를 탐색하는 것이 가능하였다.

A reliability-based topology optimization (RBTO) for electromagnetic systems using the finite element method is presented. Permeability and applied current density are considered as uncertain variable. In order to compute reliability constraints, performance measure approach is used. To find the reliability index, the limit state function is linearly approximated at each iteration. Numerical examples show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

When Deterministic Design Optimization (DDO) methods are used, deterministic optimum designs are frequently pushed to the design constraint boundary, leaving little or no room for tolerances (or uncertainties) in design, manufacture, and operating processes. In the Reliability-Based Design Optimization (RBDO) model for robust system design, the mean values of uncertain system variables are usually used as design variables, and the cost is optimized subject to prescribed probabilistic constraints as defined by a nonlinear mathematical programming problem. Therefore, a RBDO solution that reduces the structural weight in uncritical regions does not only provide an improved design but also a higher level of confidence in the design. In this work, we seek to improve the quality of RBDO processes using efficient optimization techniques with object of improving the resulting objective function and satisfying the required constraints. Our recent RBDO developments show its efficiency and applicability in this context. So we present some recent structural engineering applications demonstrate the efficiency of these developed RBDO methods.

Recently, it has been strongly required to establish a systematic and sustainable performance investigation and evaluation framework on governmental funding projects for IT small and medium-sized enterprises. In this paper, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models are adopted for performance evaluation on governmental funding projects for IT small and medium-sized enterprises. A new data structure is proposed for the DEA performance evaluation. Generally, in using DEA models, DEA multipliers restriction is critical to achieve the reliability of DEA optimal solutions. Based on the outputs and inputs considered in this study, Acceptance Region (AR) constraints are generated and incorporated into the DEA models so as to improve the reliability of DEA efficiency scores. Associated with AR Type I (AR-I), AR Global Model (ARGM) constraints, DEA/ (AR-I, ARGM) models are designed and then sensitivity analysis follows investigating the robustness of DEA efficiency scores relating to AR constraints adjustment. Finally, a performance evaluation is illustrated regarding governmental direct funding projects from Ministry of Information and Communication (MIC) in Korea where each project unit (i.e. Decision Making Unit (DMU)) is determined whether it is efficient or not. By using DEA/(AR-I, ARGM) models designed in this paper, robustly efficient DMUs are gradually identified according to the successive AR constraints adjustment. Among 25 DMUs, results show that 6 DMUs such as B, E, G, Q, S, Y are determined as robustly efficient against AR constraints intermediate adjustment.

이 연구는 민간경비원의 여가제약과 여가권태 및 여가만족의 관계를 규명하는데 목적을 두고 있다. 이를 위하여 이 연구에서는 2011년 1월 서울 소재 민간경비회사를 대상으로 집락무선표집법을 활용해 5개 회사를 무작위로 선정하여 1개 회사에 50명씩 총 250명을 표집 하였다. 최종분석에 사용된 사례수는 205명이다. 수집된 자료는 SPSSWIN 18.0 프로그램으로 요인분석, 신뢰도분석, T검정 및 F검정, 다중회귀분석, 경로분석을 활용하였다. 설문지의 신뢰도는 Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ 값이 .857 이상으로 높게 나타났다. 결론은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 민간경비원의 사회인구통계학적 특성에 따라 여가제약, 여가권태, 여가만족은 차이가 있다. 즉, 연령에 따른 여가권태는 31-35세 집단에서 가장 높으며, 학력에 따른 여가만족은 전문대졸이상 집단에서 높다. 둘째, 민간경비원의 여가제약은 여가권태에 영향을 미친다. 즉, 개인내적 제약이 크면 여가 권태는 심화된다. 셋째, 민간경비원의 여가제약은 여가만족에 영향을 미친다. 즉, 개인내적 제약과 구조적 제약이 크면 여가만족은 감소된다. 넷째, 민간경비원의 여가제약은 여가권태 및 여가만족에 직간접적 영향을 미친다. 즉, 여가권태는 여가제약과 여가만족을 매개하는 중요한 변수이다.

This purpose of this paper is to propose a methodology for optimal generating operation in power system to minimize the cost of generation subject to not only system constraints but also regional $CO_2$ emission constraints. To solve this ELD problem calculated range limit on minimum and maximum power outputs by regional Equal Generator how each regional capacity is connected into one and expressed Equal Fuel Cost Function considering regional $CO_2$ emission constraints. Accordingly, being modified regional load, new power outputs considering regional $CO_2$ emission constraints were calculated by ELD. The proposed model for evaluating availability is tested on IEEE RTS(Reliability Test System)-24 in detail.

This research looks close the effect of security agent's hierarchical leisure constraint on the leisure motivation and participation based on the Jackson's Model of the hierarchical leisure constraints. This research selected 420 people for sampling, designating security agents who work for security companies located in Seoul in 2009 at present as subjects by utilizing purposive sampling method, but the number of sampling used for ultimate analysis is 356. In this research, reliability analysis's and structural equation modeling's Maximum Likelihood method are used to prove the reliability and validity of questionnaire. By using these research method and procedures, the conclusion of this research is as following. First, intra-personal leisure constraint was affected by interpersonal, structural leisure constraint. Second, leisure motivation was affected negatively by leisure constraint. Third, leisure participation was affected positively by leisure motivation. Synthesizing all things referred above, leisure constraint was affected by inter-personal, structural leisure constraint, and in turn, leisure motivation and leisure participation were affected by its effects. It turned out that leisure motivation has a meaningful effect on leisure participation through leisure participation and adjusting process.

Purpose: The problem of optimizing redundancy allocation in multi-level systems is considered when each item in a multi-level system has alternative items with the same function. The number of redundancy of multi-level system is allocated to maximize the reliability of the system under path set and cost limitation constraints. Methods: Based on cost limitation and path set constraints, a mathematical model is established to maximize system reliability. Particle swarm optimization is employed for redundant allocation and verified by numerical experiments. Results: Comparing the particle swarm optimization method and the memetic algorithm for the 3 and 4 level systems, the particle swarm optimization method showed better performance for solution quality and search time. Particularly, the particle swarm optimization showed much less than the memetic algorithm for variation of results. Conclusion: The proposed particle swarm optimization considerably shortens the time to search for a feasible solution in MRAP with path set constraints. PS optimization is expected to reduce search time and propose the better solution for various problems related to MRAP.
