Abstract

LMTT (Linear Motor-based Transfer Techn-ology) is a horizontal transfer system for the yard automation, which has been proposed to take the place of AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) in the maritime container terminal. The system is based on PLMSL (Permanent Magnetic Linear Synchronous Motor) that consists of stator modules on the rail and shuttle car. It is desirable to reduce the weight of LMTT in order to control the electronic devices with minimum energy. In this research, the DACE modeling, known as the one of Kriging interpolation, is introduced to obtain the surrogate approximation model of the structural responses. Then, the GRG(Generalized Reduced Gradient) method built in Excel is adopted to determine the optimum. The objective function is set up as weight. On the contrary, the design variables are considered as transverse, longitudinal and wheel beam's thicknesses, and the constraints are the maximum stresses generated by four loading conditions.

LMTT(Linear Motor-based Transfer Technology)는 항만 자동화를 위한 수평 이송 시스템이며, 셔틀카(shuttle car)와 격자구조의 레일에 부착된 스테이터 모듈(stator module)로 구성된 PLMSL(Permanent Magnetic Linear Synchronous Motor)에 의해 구동된다. 본 논문에서는 LMTT시스템 부품인 이동체(mover)의 경량화를 위하여 직교배열표 및 크리깅 방법을 이용하여 최적설계를 수행한다. 설계변수로는 가로빔, 세로빔, 휠빔의 두께와 높이 방향의 치수를 결정하는 형상변수를 포함시켰다. 목적함수로는 중량, 제한조건 함수로는 안전율이 고려된 응력으로 설정하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 방법으로 구한 최적해를 민감도기반 최적설계로 구해진 최적해와 비교, 검토하였다.
