The eddy current brake system is a non-contact brake based on the mutual relation between the rail and the frame. Consequently, the accuracy is required in estimating the stress concentration and the deformation of the eddy current brake system. In this paper, the static analysis considering the gravity and the suction force for the deformation and the stress concentration of the main frame of the initially designed eddy current brake system was carried out. The shape of the I-type beam obtained from the optimization was analyzed and compared with the initial model. Also, the initial model was modified based on the optimization model and the result was verified to have the acceptable improvement.

The focus of this paper is on the development and implementation of a methodology for automated design of discrete structural systems. The research is aimed at utilizing Genetic Algorithms (GA) as an automated design tool. Several key enhancements are made to the simple GA in order to increase the efficiency, reliability and accuracy of the methodology for code-based design of structures. The AISC-ASD design code is used to illustrate the design methodology. Small as well as large-scale problems are solved. Simultaneous sizing, shape and topology optimal designs of structural framed systems subjected to static and dynamic loads are considered. Comparisons with results from prior publications and solution to new problems show that the enhancements made to the GA do indeed make the design system more efficient and robust.

본 연구에서는 농업용 트랙터에 조립식으로 결합되는 캐빈에 사용되는 방진고무의 진동절연성능을 향상시키기 위하여 형상최적설계를 수행하였다. 초탄성거동을 보이는 고무의 물성을 평가하기 위하여 일축 및 이축 인장시험을 수행하였고 이를 이용하여 유한요소해석에 입력 가능한 재료 모델을 도출하였다. 실제 트랙터의 운전 상태에서 진동을 측정하여 방진고무로 전달되는 입력 가진 및 이로 인한 캐빈 프레임의 응답을 정량화하였다. 비선형 거동을 보이는 방진고무의 특성을 반영하기 위해 정해석을 이용하여 방진고무의 하중-변위 곡선을 도출하였다. 이로부터 특정 하중 혹은 변위가 가해진 상태에서 방진고무의 강성을 계산할 수 있었으며 이를 캐빈의 조화가진해석에 사용하였다. 해석결과와 시험 결과의 비교를 통하여 해석모델 및 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다. 방진고무의 형상설계를 위하여 다구찌의 인자설계법이 사용되었으며 이를 통하여 강성이 최소화된 방진고무의 형상을 찾을 수 있었다. 방진고무의 최적 형상을 고려하여 조화가진해석을 수행한 결과 초기설계 대비 35 % 이상 개선된 진동저감효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper focuses on the seismic protection of slender old masonry structures by the implementation of prestressing devices at key locations. The devices are vertically and externally located inside the towers in order to be reversible and calibrated. An extensive parametric study on a selected slender tower is carried out based on more than 100 nonlinear static simulations aimed at investigating the impact of different parameters on the seismic performance: (i) different prestressing levels; (ii) shape memory alloy superelasticity and (iii) changes in prestressing-forces in all the stages of the analysis until failure and masonry toe crushing. The tendon materials under analysis are conventional prestressing steel, fiber-reinforced polymers of different fibers and shape memory alloys. The parametric study serves to select the most suitable prestressing device and optimal prestressing level able to dissipate more earthquake energy. The seismic energy dissipation is evaluated by comparing the structural capacity curves in original state and retrofitted.

This study presents conceptual information of newly optimized shapes and connectivity of the so-called outrigger truss system for modern tall buildings that resists lateral loads induced by wind and earthquake forces. In practice, the outrigger truss consists of triangular or Vierendeel types to stiffen tall buildings, and the decision of outrigger design has been qualitatively achieved by only engineers' experience and intuition, including information of structural behaviors, although outrigger shapes and the member's connectivity absolutely affect building stiffness, the input of material, construction ability and so on. Therefore the design of outrigger trusses needs to be measured and determined according to scientific proofs like reliable optimal design tools. In this study, at first the shape and connectivity of an outrigger truss system are visually evaluated by using a conceptual design tool of the classical topology optimization method, and then are quantitatively investigated with respect to a structural safety as stiffness, an economical aspect as material quantity, and construction characteristics as the number of member connection. Numerical applications are studied to verify the effectiveness of the proposed design process to generate a new shape and connectivity of the outrigger for both static and dynamic responses.

초음속 터빈에서는 동익 유로에서의 질식 가능성을 줄이며, 설계 압력비를 구현할 수 있도록 한다. 하지만 동익 오버랩을 적용하면, 펌핑손실, 확산손실 등의 추가적인 손실이 동반된다. 따라서 터빈성능을 극대화하기 위한 최적 오버랩 형상을 찾기 위해 근사최적화 기법을 적용하였다. 설계변수는 동익 오버랩의 형상변수이다. 최적설계 결과, 기준모델 대비 팁 누설유량은 약 50% 감소하였으며, 정효율은 약 4% 증가하였다. 팁 오버랩 크기가 성능에 미치는 영향이 크게 나타난 반면, 허브 오버랩 크기가 성능에 미치는 영향은 작게 나타났다.

The vehicle attitude and sideslip is critical information to control the vehicle to prevent from unintended motion. Many of estimation strategy use bicycle model or IMU integration, but both of them have limits on application. The main purpose of this paper is development of vehicle orientation estimator which is robust to various vehicle state and road shape. The suggested estimator use 3-axis magnetometer, yaw rate sensor and lateral acceleration sensor to estimate three Euler angles of vehicle. The estimator is composed of two individual observers: First, comparing the known magnetic field and gravity with measured value, the TRIAD algorithm calculates optimal rotational matrix when vehicle is in static or quasi-static condition. Next, merging 3-axis magnetometer with inertial sensors, the extended Kalman filter is used to estimate vehicle orientation under dynamic condition. A validation through simulation tools, Carsim and Simulink, is performed and the results show the feasibility of the suggested estimation method.

In this paper, we will present a deeper look on optimal design methods that are related to path-planning for a mobile robot. To control the motion of a mobile robot in a clustered environment, it's necessary to know a suitable trajectory assuming certain start and goal point. Up to now, there are many literatures that concern optimal path planning for an obstacle avoided mobile robot. Among those literatures, we have chosen 2 novel methods for our further analysis. The first approach [4] is based on HJB(Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman) equation whose solution is the return-function that helps to generate a shortest path to the goal. The later [5] is called polynomial-path-planning approach, in this method, a shortest polynomial-shape path would become a solution if it was a collision-free path. The camera network plays the role as sensors to generate updated map which locates the static and dynamic objects in the space. Therefore, the exhibition of both path planning and dynamic obstacle avoidance by the updated map would be accomplished simultaneously. As we mentioned before, our research will include the motion control of a true mobile robot on those optimal planned paths which were generated by above algorithms. Base on the kinematic and dynamic simulation results, we can realize the affection of moving speed to the stable of motion on each generated path. Also, we can verify the time-optimal trajectory through velocity tuning. To simplify for our analysis, we assumed the obstacles are cylindrical circular objects with the same size.
