  abstract  = {The effectiveness of working processes accomplished by various technological machines to a large extend depends on working quality of supply, transporting and orientating mechanisms which are very often produced as positional hydro-mechanical systems. The choice of their best type and regimes of work requires construction and analysis of models of their optimum steering which are complicated by nonlinearness, multy-criterialness of problem and also by occasional outbreaks of parameters and moments of steering regime changing. It was developed the common structure of such systems allowing within common scheme to vary the complexity degree of PHMS and the methods of inhibitory efforts supplement. For some systems which are complicated in series (from two-measured linear system to nine-measured non-linear) puzzles of the most fast zero-ambit getting are solved and two-criterial problems are analyzed. (T-min-speed, Z(T)- accuracy). There are suggested the computing procedures of optimum PHMS synthesis. The effectiveness of accepted methods of solving is asserted by the analogy of the results of gradually complicated models investigation and by their good analogy with the natural experiment. It was exposed the sense of heuristic methods of improving of approximately optimum steering, their elaboration on the base of theoretical models. The basic methods of optimum PGMS construction were also nominated.},

  abstract  = {The study introduces into the theory and application of optimization strategies in earthquake engineering. The optimization algorithm substitutes the intuitive solution of practical problems done by the engineer in daily practice, providing automatic design tools and numerical means for further exploration of the design space for various extremum states. This requires a mathematical formulation of the design task, that is provided for typical seismic evaluations within this document. Utilizing the natural relation between design and optimization tasks, appropriate mechanical concepts are developed and discussed. The explanations start with an overview on the mechanical background for continua. Hereby the focus is placed on elasto-plastic structures. The given extremum formulations are treated with help of discretization methods in order to obtain optimization problems. These basics are utilized for derivation of programs for eigenvalue and stability analysis, that are applied in simplified linear analysis for the design of seismically excited structures. Another focus is set on the application in simplified nonlinear design, that uses limit state analyses on the basis of nonlinear problem formulations. Well known concepts as the response and pushover analysis are covered as well as alternative strategies on the basis of shakedown theory or cycle and deformation based evaluations. Furthermore, the study gives insight into the application of optimization problems in conjunction with nonlinear time history analyses. The solution of step-by-step procedures within optimization algorithms is shown and aspects of dynamic limit state analyses are discussed. For illustration of the great variety of optimization-based concepts in earthquake engineering, several specialized applications are presented, e.g. the generation of artificial ground motions and the determination of reduction coefficients for design spectrum reduction due to viscous and hysteretic damping. As well alternative strategies for the design of base isolated structures with controlled impact are presented. All presented applications are illustrated with help of various examples.},

  abstract  = {The revitalization of existing structures belongs to the frequently tasks in urban reconstruction processes. The adaptation for new requirements will commonly affect substantial changes in the general configuration of structures. The resulting revitalized structures are characterized by a hybrid design, where old and new, identical or diverse materials and members will be coupled in different ways. In the planning stage the treatment of these systems leads to application of complex and hybrid mechanical models respectively. High performance numerical instruments have to be applied for solving not only analysis but also targeted design problems. Because of the hybrid character of mechanical models in revitalization planning processes the use of hybrid technologies is advantageous. In this paper mixed domain technique will be used for connecting EFG and FE. The models derived will be adopted for design purposes of non-linear loaded hybrid structures. The investigations show a good adaptability of the meshless methods to the design of hybrid structures by using optimization strategies. With this method the advantages of both finite element and meshless methods can be utilized most suitable. With the property of a minimum amount of unknowns by maintaining an adequate quality of the results the application of mixed finite element and meshless methods is a promising alternative to traditional methods in structural analysis and optimization.},

  abstract  = {Recently, many reseraches on active control systems of building structures are preformed based on modern control theory and are installed real buildings. The authors have already proposed intelligent fuzzy optimal active control (IFOAC) systems. IFOAC systems imitate intelligent activities of human brains such as prediction, adaptation, decision-kaking and so on. In IFOAC systems, objective and subjective judgements on the active control can be taken into account. However, IFOAC systems are considered to be suitable for far-field erathquake and control effect becomes small in case of near-field earthqaukes which include a few velosity pules with large amplitudes. To improve control effect in case of near-souece earthquakes, the authors have also proposed hybrid control (HC) systems, in which IFOAC systems and fuzzy control system are combined. In HC systems, the fuzzy control systems are introduced as a reflective fuzzy active control (RFAC) system and imitates spinal reflection of human. In HC systems, active control forces are activated to buildings in accordance with switching rules on active control forces. In this paper, optimizations on fuzzy control rules in RFAC system and switching rules of active control forces in HC system are performed by Parameter-Free Genetic Algorithms (PfGAs). Here, the optimization is performed by using different earthquake inputs. The results of digital simulations show that the HC system can reduce maximal response displacements under restrictions on strokes of the actuator effectively in case of a near-source earthquake and the effectiveness of the proposed HC system is discussed and clarified.},

Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich dem Konstruktiven Entwurf frei geformter, direkt verglaster Stabnetze.

  abstract  = {Turbomachinery plays an important role in many cases of energy generation or conversion. Therefore, turbomachinery is a promising approaching point for optimization in order to increase the efficiency of energy use. In recent years, the use of automated optimization strategies in combination with numerical simulation has become increasingly popular in many fields of engineering. The complex interactions between fluid and solid mechanics encountered in turbomachines on the one hand and the high computational expense needed to calculate the performance on the other hand, have, however, prevented a widespread use of these techniques in this field of engineering. The objective of this work was the development of a strategy for efficient metamodel based optimization of centrifugal compressor impellers. In this context, the main focus is the reduction of the required numerical expense. The central idea followed in this research was the incorporation of preliminary information acquired from low-fidelity computation methods and empirical correlations into the sampling process to identify promising regions of the parameter space. This information was then used to concentrate the numerically expensive high-fidelity computations of the fluid dynamic and structure mechanic performance of the impeller in these regions while still maintaining a good coverage of the whole parameter space. The development of the optimization strategy can be divided into three main tasks. Firstly, the available preliminary information had to be researched and rated. This research identified loss models based on one dimensional flow physics and empirical correlations as the best suited method to predict the aerodynamic performance. The loss models were calibrated using available performance data to obtain a high prediction quality. As no sufficiently exact models for the prediction of the mechanical loading of the impellercould be identified, a metamodel based on finite element computations was chosen for this estimation. The second task was the development of a sampling method which concentrates samples in regions of the parameter space where high quality designs are predicted by the preliminary information while maintaining a good overall coverage. As available methods like rejection sampling or Markov-chain Monte-Carlo methods did not meet the requirements in terms of sample distribution and input correlation, a new multi-fidelity sampling method called "Filtered Sampling"has been developed. The last task was the development of an automated computational workflow. This workflow encompasses geometry parametrization, geometry generation, grid generation and computation of the aerodynamic performance and the structure mechanic loading. Special emphasis was put into the development of a geometry parametrization strategy based on fluid mechanic considerations to prevent the generation of physically inexpedient designs. Finally, the optimization strategy, which utilizes the previously developed tools, was successfully employed to carry out three optimization tasks. The efficiency of the method was proven by the first and second testcase where an existing compressor design was optimized by the presented method. The results were comparable to optimizations which did not take preliminary information into account, while the required computational expense cloud be halved. In the third testcase, the method was applied to generate a new impeller design. In contrast to the previous examples, this optimization featuredlargervariationsoftheimpellerdesigns. Therefore, theapplicability of the method to parameter spaces with significantly varying designs could be proven, too.},
