In some space truss applications, particularly those with large spans, the choice of a triple-layer system might prove more cast effective than the more commonly used double-layer solution. However, there are currently no clear guidelines as to which system would be more competitive for intermediate span lengths. In this paper, comparisons in terms of the weight, stiffness and number of joints and members are made between the two system types and presented in order to simplify the choice process for the designer. The comparisons are carried out using an approximate analysis technique that is explained in this paper, and checked to be reasonably accurate and suitable for the preliminary design of space trusses.

Nature has provided inspiration for most of the man-made technologies. Scientists believe that dolphins are the second to humans in smartness and intelligence. Echolocation is the biological sonar used by dolphins for navigation and hunting in various environments. This ability of dolphins is mimicked in this paper to develop a new optimization method. Dolphin Echolocation Optimization (DEO) is an optimization method based on dolphin's approach for hunting food and exploration of environment. DEO has already been developed for discrete optimization search space and here it is extended to continuous search space. DEO has simple rules and is adjustable for predetermined computational cost. DEO provides the optimum results and leads to alternative optimality curves suitable for the problem. This algorithm has a few parameters and it is applicable to a wide range of problems like other metaheuristic algorithms. In the present work, the efficiency of this approach is demonstrated using standard benchmark problems.

Structural optimization has been carried out in continuous design space or in discrete design space. Generally, available designs are discrete in design practice. However, the methods for discrete variables are extremely expensive in computational cost. An iterative optimization algorithm is proposed for design in a discrete space, which is called a sequential algorithm using orthogonal arrays (SOA). We demonstrate verifying the fact that a local optimum solution can be obtained from the process with this algorithm. The local optimum solution is defined in a discrete design space. Then the search space, which is a set of candidate values of each design variables formed by the neighborhood of a current design point, is defined. It is verified that a local optimum solution can be found by sequentially moving the search space. The SOA algorithm has been applied to problems such as truss type structures. Then it is confirmed that a local solution can be obtained by using the SOA algorithm

The structural optimization has been carried out in the continuous design space or in the discrete design space. Generally, available designs are discrete in design practice. But methods for discrete variables are extremely expensive in computational cost. In order to overcome this weakness, an iterative optimization algorithm was proposed for design in the discrete space, which is called as a sequential algorithm using orthogonal arrays (SOA). We focus to verify the fact that the local solution can be obtained throughout the optimization with this algorithm. The local solution is defined in discrete design space. Then the search space, which is the set of candidate values of each design variables formed by the neighborhood of current design point, is defined. It is verified that a local solution can be founded by moving sequentially the search space. The SOA algorithm has been applied to problems such as truss type structures.

The structural system that discreterized from continuous shells is frequently used to make a large space structures. As well these structures show the unstable phenomena when a load level over the limit load, and snap-through and bifurcation are most well known of it. For the collapse mechanism, rise-span ratio, element stiffness and load mode are main factor, which it give an effect to unstable behavior. In our real situation, most structures have semi-rigid joint that has middle characteristic between pin and rigid joint. So the knowledge of semi-rigid joint is very important problem of stable large space structure. And the instability phenemena of framed space structures show a strong non-linearity and very sensitive behavior according to the joint rigidity For this reason In this study, we are investigating to unstable problem of framed structure with semi-rigidity and to grasp the nonlinear instability behavior that make the fundamental collapse mechanism of the large space frame structures with semi-rigid joint, by proposed the numerical analysis method. Using the incremental stiffness matrix in chapter 2, we study instability of space structures.

본 발표에서는 Transformable Reflective Telescope(TRT kit)의 새로운 버전을 소개한다. TRT kit는 기본형인 뉴턴식 반사망원경에서 부경 교체를 통해 카세그레인식, 그레고리식으로 간단하게 변형 할 수 있는 광학 실험장치이다. 본 장치는 주로 망원경 교육이나 광학계 개발에 필요한 실험에 활용된다. 모듈화 설계를 통해서 여러 종류의 광학계를 쉽게 탈착하여 다양한 실험을 할 수 있다. 광기계부는 정밀하게 제작된 알루미늄 프로파일과 Isogrid구조를 채택하여 경량화 구조로 설계되었다. 이러한 경량부품들을 통해 이전 버전보다 50~70%의 중량 감소율을 달성하였다. 유한요소해석 결과 경량화된 뉴턴식 TRT kit는 이전 버전과 비교해서 자체 하중에 의한 최대 구조 변형이 0.11mm에서 0.023mm로 감소하였다. 부경 지지대 설계에는 자체 하중으로 인한 변형을 최소화하기 위해 트러스 (Truss) 구조가 도입되었다. 부경부의 자체 하중으로 인한 변형은 기존의 80㎛에서 21㎛로 감소하였다. 또한, 십자 레이저 정렬 장치가 추가되어 뉴턴식과 카세그레인식에서 공차 1.5' 이내로 광학계 정렬이 가능하다.

본 연구는 초기조건에 민감한 공간 트러스를 대상으로 불완전성으로 인한 분기거동 및 불안정 특성에 대해서 연구하였으며, 접선강성행렬의 행렬식과 고유치해석으로 임계점과 좌굴하중을 구하였다. 고유모드의 민감성에 의한 불안정 현상을 고찰하기 위해서 2-자유절점공간 트러스와 스타 돔 및 3링 돔 모델을 예제로 채택하였으며, 라이즈-스팬 비 및 하중 파라메타에 따른 좌굴하중의 영향을 분석하였다. 2-자유절점 모델의 초기 형상불완전성에 따른 민감성은 고유모드에 따라 임계 후 평형경로가 바뀌었으며, 좌굴하중은 불완전 량의 증가에 따라 감소하는 결과를 얻었다. 예제에서 나타난 두 가지 민감한 좌굴패턴은 자유절점의 변위 위치를 살펴봄으로서 설명할 수 있었고, 형상 불완전성에 따른 거동은 비대칭 고유모드가 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 민감한 고유모드는 단순화한 모델의 비신장 메커니즘 기저와 유사하였다. 스타 돔 모델은 라이즈-스팬 비가 높을수록 전체좌굴보다는 국부좌굴이 우세하며, 하중 파라메타 값이 클수록 평형경로 상에 분기점이 발생하였다. 또한 스타돔과 3링 모델의 좌굴하중은 각각 극한점 하중레벨의 약 50-70% 및 80-90%로 나타났다.

Optimization of a satellite structure under severe space launching environments is performed considering various design constraints. Simulate annealing, one of combinatorial optimization techniques, is used to optimize the satellite. The optimization results by the simulated annealing are compared to those by the method of modified feasible direction and genetic algorithm. Ten bar truss structure is optimized for feasibility study of the simulated annealing. Finally, the satellite structure is optimized by the simulated annealing algorithm under space environment. Weights of the satellite upper platform and propulsion module are minimized with consideration of several static and dynamic constraints. MSC/NASTRAN is used to find the static and dynamic responses. Simulated annealing has been programmed and integrated with the finite element analysis program for optimization. It is shown that the simulated annealing algorithm can be extended to the optimization of space structures.

General purpose programs are essential elements for the computerization of structural analysis. This paper is associated with actual formulation of such programs by matrix analysis. The basic theory of matrix analysis for skeletal structures, its implementation and techniques for developing efficient programs are discussed in this paper. Any shape of skeletal structure can be included in a single program for space frames. But in order to economize computing time and computer memory space, it is desirable to develop and operate seperate programs specialized into four categories; truss, planar frame, grid and space frame. As for general purpose programs, simplicity of input format and flexibility of output format should be duly considered. Compaction and solution of system equations are the most important aspects in computer programming of matrix analysis, and worth further study for more efficient computerization.

This paper presents a comparison between two different procedures to deal with the geometric nonlinear analysis of space trusses, considering its structural stability aspects. The first nonlinear formulation, called positional, uses nodal positions rather than nodal displacements to describe the finite elements kinematics. The strains are computed directly from the proposed position concept, using a Cartesian coordinate system fixed in space. The second formulation, called corotational, is based on the explicit separation between rigid body motion and deformed motion. The numerical examples demonstrate the performances and the convergence of the responses for both analyzed formulations. Two numerical examples were compared, including a lattice beam with postcritical behavior. Despite the two completely different approaches to deal with the geometrical nonlinear problem, the results present good agreement.
