The rotary type dust remover is a device in which the rake assembly filters and processes clumps in the water while rotating and repeating movements along the track. It is installed in the pump suction part of the drainage pump station and the rainwater pump station to protect the pump to ensure smooth drainage. Since the rake assembly plays a key role in filtering out complications while passing through the water, stainless steel is applied to all components constituting it, and damage or failure due to deformation causes a crisis in case of heavy rain. This is because the existing rake assembly is excellent in rigidity, but all components are assembled by welding, which takes a lot of time for repair and replacement. In this study, shape design for rakes and assemblies of the rotary type dust remover, structural analysis to secure reliability, and demonstration tests were conducted through prototype production. Through this, it is intended to help prevent the stiffness of the joint of the rotary type dust remover from deteriorating, reduce time and cost, and efficient operation.

Water-soluble substances like hydrogen fluoride, generated in semiconductor manufacturing, pose serious health and environmental risks, underscoring the need for effective capture devices. Vertical liquid capture devices help by aggregating and discharging hazardous substances with water, but their design can lead to backflow during abnormal operations, causing unintended releases and impacting efficiency and safety. This study seeks to improve a vertical liquid collection device’s containment performance by optimizing its geometry. The vertical wall was rotated at various angles and directions, and turbulent kinetic energy and streamline distribution were analyzed to assess vortex formation and flow characteristics. These structural modifications identify optimal conditions to control hazardous substance migration, offering insights for future pollutant removal device designs.

수중운동체에는 필수적 기능을 담당하는 함교, 러더와 같은 다양한 부가물들이 장착된다. 이들 부가물과 선체의 접합부에는 유선의 박리로 인해 다양한 와류가 생성된다. 이러한 와류는 수중운동체의 추진기로 유입되어 수중방사소음의 증가와 같은 부정적 효과 를 야기해 스텔스 성능의 향상을 위해서는 반드시 저감되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 부가물과 선체의 접합부에서 생성되는 말발굽와류 (HSV)와 뿌리와류(RV)를 저감하는데 효과적인 와류저감장치(VRD)에 대한 설계기준을 도출하였다. 먼저, 접합부 와류의 레이놀즈 상사특 성 만족 여부를 분석함으로써 설계기준 도출에 부가물의 제원과 유속의 영향을 레이놀즈수로 대체하였다. 또한 VRD의 형상을 정의하기 위해 베지어 곡선을 활용해 VRD의 3차원 표면을 파라미터화하였다. 이후, 와류저감을 위한 VRD의 설계기준 도출을 위해 다양한 제원의 VRD의 와류저감 성능을 분석함으로써 최적의 길이 대 높이 비율이 선정되었다. 최종적으로 대상 범위의 부가물들에 대해 최적 비율을 만족하는 다양한 크기의 VRD 성능이 비교 분석되었다. 이를 종합하여 임의의 부가물에 대해서도 와류저감 성능을 나타낼 수 있는 VRD 의 무차원화 설계기준이 도출되었다.

This study numerically compares optimum solutions generated by element- and node-wise topology optimization designs for free vibration structures, where element-and node-wise denote the use of element and nodal densities as design parameters, respectively. For static problems optimal solution comparisons of the two types for topology optimization designs have already been introduced by the author and many other researchers, and the static structural design is very common. In dynamic topology optimization problems the objective is in general related to maximum Eigenfrequency optimization subject to a given material limit since structures with a high fundamental frequency tend to be reasonable stiff for static loads. Numerical applications topologically maximizing the first natural Eigenfrequency verify the difference of solutions between element-and node-wise topology optimum designs.

본 연구에서는 공기역학적 형상변화의 풍하중 저감 측면에서의 효율성을 평가하기 위해 평면의 모서리 부분이 개선된 고층 건물에 대해 사례연구 기반의 비탄성 내풍설계를 수행하였다. 비선형 시간이력해석을 통해 다양한 설계풍속 및 항복 후 강성에 대한 구조물의 응답을 산정하였으며, 최근 국내 설계기준(KDS 41)에 도입된 성능기반내풍설계 개념을 토대로 구조물의 성능을 평가하였다. 해석 결과 공기역학적 형상변화를 갖는 구조물의 경우나 성능기반내풍설계를 적용했을 경우(또는 모두에 해당할 경우) 공진성분을 줄 여 구조물의 응답이 크게 감소함을 확인하였다.

In this study, a prefabricated buckling brace (PF-BRB) was proposed, and a test specimen was manufactured based on the design formula for the initial shape and structural performance tests were performed. As a result of the experiment, all standard performance requirements presented by KDS 41 17 00 and MOE 2021 were satisfied before and after replacement of the reinforcement module, and no fracture of the joint module occurred. As a result of the incremental load test, the physical properties showed a significant difference in the stiffness ratio after yielding under the compressive load of the envelope according to the experimental results. It is judged necessary to further analyze the physical properties according to the experimental results through finite element analysis in the future.

With the advancement of optical design and manufacturing technology, optical components have found diverse applications, spanning from semiconductors to the aerospace industry. A reflective mirror is a basic component in optics and plays a crucial role as the medium to reflect light. In this paper, a large mirror with a 700mm diameter was designed as a primary mirror using fused silica. The rear side of the mirror was subdivided into several equal angles, and neighboring vertices on the circumference were connected to establish a polygon. Accordingly, the geometric shapes of triangle, square, pentagon, and hexagon were formed. Furthermore, the mirror structure was strengthened by employing straight lines passing the vertices and the center of the circle. Based on the finite element analysis, deformations of the mirrors caused by the gravitational force were evaluated. Weight and deformation of the mirror structures were compared and analyzed to find a proper structure to reduce weight and deformation. This paper, therefore, presents a structural solution aimed at reducing the weight and deformation of a large aperture mirror induced by gravitational forces, thereby suggesting a geometric shape based structure to reduce surface deformation of a mirror.

In this work, we deal with the feasibility of structural topology optimization for beam designs using retrofits that optimally allocates the reinforcement to the web under the condition that designers set bolt regions for H-beams of different dimensions. Mean compliance or minimal strain energy is considered for the optimization. Volume fraction is given to the design space to assign appropriate steel material quantities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate optimal shapes of stiffeners with the maximum rigidity that improves the axial and shear performance of the H-beam and to satisfy a given safety design standard of H-beam and stiffeners in case arbitrary load effect and resistances. Finally, the effectiveness of stiffness-based topology optimization on stiffeners is verified with several practical applicable examples.

In this study, a study on the design of the rake shape of a rotary screener is conducted. The rake bar and rake of a rotary screener were designed, and three types for the rake shape were designed by changing the rake shape. Structural analysis was conducted in consideration of the vertical load applied when the narrow object was pulled up by the rake and the friction force applied underwater, and the more efficient type was verified by comparing the stress and strain applied to the lake by shape. In addition, structural analysis was additionally performed by changing the material of the rake to a carbon composite material in the same manner. That is, in order to improve the need to replace the entire rake part in case of damage, we will examine the improvement of the strength of the rake by performing structural analysis by changing the material of the rake.

In this paper, a method of reducing the weight of vehicle wheels through topology optimization by finite element method is proposed. Recently, various environmental pollution caused by the operation of vehicles is gradually increasing, and this has a great correlation with the fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Therefore, it is required to reduce the weight of the vehicle to increase fuel efficiency. Among them, the vehicle's wheels are a key part of vehicle acceleration and braking, and passenger safety. Because the shape of the wheels is different, various effects such as reduced fuel economy and reduced airpower occur as well as aesthetic factors. The stiffness of the wheels plays an important role in transmitting the vehicle's power to the tires and braking. In this study, to reduce weight while satisfying the stiffness value, we propose to use topology optimization to design an arbitrary shape according to the number of spokes on the wheel.

The aim of this study was to develop a body type suitable for adult men aged from their 20s to their 40s and to present a method of drafting related patterns. To this end, the somatic surface pattern data from previous studies were used. The research method involved drafting torso patterns for each type by setting and distributing the ease to the somatic surface pattern. Appearance evaluation was performed with virtual clothing. Then, the torso pattern for each body type was completed and presented as a draft method. SPSS was used for data analysis in this study. The research results are as follows. Types 1, 2, and 3 were set to 7%, 6%, 5%; 7%, 6%, 4%; and 6.5%, 7%, and 6% for chest, waist, and hip circumference measurements, respectively. The ratio of front to back was 50%:50%, 50%:50%, and 50%:50% of the spare for each body part for Type 1; 70%:30%, 50%:50%, and 60%:40% for Type 2, and 60%:40%, 70%:30%, and 60%:40% for Type 3. A tight-fit torso pattern for each body type suitable for adult males in their 20s to 40s was drafted, which was modified and supplemented through the evaluation of the first and second virtual wear. Considering the practicality of this approach, for generalization of the patterns, the items of the pattern were converted into a drafting method and presented as a draft method.

Weight-based exercise equipment is unreasonable because of its large weight or volume and has limitations in use at home. On top of that, it is not easy to control the weight of domestic muscular exercise devices such as dumbbells and latex bands. This study proposes a new type of exercise equipment that can be used at home by modifying the exercise equipment used in fitness centers. Home training exercise equipment has been optimized by replacing the weight of strength training equipment, which is the core of weight control, with electric motors. For optimal design, process integration and design optimization (PIANO), a commercial PIDO tool, was analyzed in conjunction with DAFUL, a multi-body dynamics analysis program. When formulating the optimal design, the objective function was to minimize the weight, and the shape of the pinwheel and pulley used in exercise equipment was proposed considering the stress of cables as design constraints. As a result of optimization, design proposals were derived while meeting the design requirements and reduced by 5% compared to the initial model. In this work, we have miniaturized the shape of exercise equipment compared to conventional exercise equipment by optimizing its shape.

In this study, a tuned mass damper(TMD) was installed to control the displacement response to earthquakes by generalizing to six analysis models according to the shape of the upper structure based on the case of various large spatial structures around the world. The six analysis models are ribbed type, latticed type, elliptical type, gable type, barrel type, and stadium type composed of 3D arch trusses. In this paper, ribbed type, latticed type and elliptical type were analyzed. The mass of each TMD was set to 1% of the total structural mass. Result of analyzing the optimal number and position of the analysis model, the displacement response control was the most excellent in the model with 6 and 8 TMDs, and the displacement response decreased in most cases. The displacement response control was better with installing the TMD at the edge point than focusing the TMD at the center of the analysis model. However, when 10 or more TMDs are installed or concentrated in the center, large loads intensively act on the structure, resulting in increased displacement. Therefore, although it is slightly different depending on the shape, it is judged that the displacement response control is the best to install 6 and 8 TMDs at the close to the edge point.

정전기 문제에 대한 연속체 기반 설계 민감도 해석(DSA) 방법을 해석적으로 유도하였다. 고차 항을 포함한 목적 함수를 고려하기 위해 해석 및 DSA 방법을 위해 9 노드 유한요소법 기반 함수를 형상 함수로 사용하였다. 최적화 과정에서의 설계 변수를 B- 스플라인 함수로 매개 변수화하여 비현실적인 형상이 아닌 부드러운 경계를 가진 최적 형상을 얻을 수 있었다. 유한요소법을 이용한 최적화 과정에서 일반적으로 발생하는 메쉬 얽힘 문제를 해결하기 위해 메쉬 균일화 기법을 사용하였 다. 이 기법은 디리쉴릿 에너지 범함수를 최소화함으로써 메쉬 균일성을 자동으로 얻을 수 있게 한다. 몇 가지 수치 예제들 을 통해 DEP 힘을 최대화하기 위한 평행판의 최적 형상을 얻어낸다. 이를 기존에 실험적으로 검증된 평행판의 최적 형상과 비교하여 그 특성을 논의하였다.

In this paper, the shape adjustment algorithm of the spoked wheel cable structures with retractable membrane system is studied. The initial tension of the membrane or cable is necessary to form the structure and its value is determined by the design shape. However, due to internal and external environmental influences, its shape may be different from the initial designed shape. In the case of the cable structures covered in this study, tension adjustment is necessary to maintain the designed shape because it influences the tension of the cable depending on the state of the retractable membrane. Therefore, we proposed an adjustment algorithm of an initial shape based on the force method. The effectiveness and validity of the methodology were examined through the applicable cable structures. The results of the shape adjustment analysis of the symmetric spoked wheel cable model were reliable and accurate results were obtained.
