Methods Using the normal substance's property of thermal expansion and cooling shrinkage,the load which is proportional to the difference between the nodes' stress and their respective objective stress were applied to the corresponding variable nodes on the boundary.The thermal load made the nodes whose stress is greater than their objective stress expand along the boundary's normal direction and the nodes whose stress is less than objec- tive stress shrink in the opposite direction , This process would repeat until the stress on the boundary nodes was converge to the objective stress. Results The satisfied results have been obtained when optimizing an engine bearing cap.The mass of the bearing cap is reduced to 55 percent of the total. Conclusion ASOP is an efficient,practical and reliable method which is suitable for optimizing the shape of the continuous structures.展开更多

A very important component of the system is the user with his ability to adapt to changing conditions in his surrounding and with his possibilities to manipulate the window, the shading system, the light switch etc. All these aspects interact together. It is necessary to optimize them simultaneously. But real planning often separates them into single sections. Simulation tools also handle normally only one or a few aspects, we know for example the thermal simulation or the daylight simulation. Primero-Comfort (2009) is a simulation tool based on energy+, what is able to consider thermal simulation as well as daylight simulation as well as user behaviour in regard to the probability of window openings. The resulting thermal comfort is rated by an adaptive comfort model, the Dutch ISSO 74 (2004). This allows designing office rooms more realistic. And it shows that an optimized solution has to include the interactions of aU mentioned aspects. Investigations with Primero-Comfort for a moderate European climate (Hamburg) show that a very good comfort can be reached only by passive means of building design also for hot summer weather just like the summer in the year 2003. The keys for such hot-summer-robust-buildings are night ventilation with height difference, heat protection glazing and good shading system, reduced internal heat gains for artificial light by accepting a threshold of 300 lx of daylight as comfortable and a reduced window size oriented on daylighting and the view out of the window.展开更多

The square root of the driver' s acceleration is selected as the estimate index by the estimate way of vehicle' s comfort. The estimate index is minimized by optimization of fore-and-aft suspension' s stiffness and written with corresponding program. In the end, a model of comfort simulation by soitware of Simulink is found, and a temporal simulation for the upper example is applied to guessing the comfort of vehicle.展开更多
