| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to develop a new evolutionary structural optimization design methods under kinematics and control system and, in addition, to investigate the structural advanced feature of dragonflies from the viewpoint of structural dynamics. New evolutionary structural optimization methods for static and dynamics have been developed. Then, their advantages and practical usefulness have been investigated using some kinds of basic application studies. This research has published some valuable technical papers and reports and has eventually obtained a ph.D degree to a graduate student of ph.D course who contributed to this research project The dependency problem of initial structures was deeply investigated and was made weak to optimum solutions. This investigation invented the new evolutionary structural optimization. Therefore, the method steadily creates very good results. A cantilever model, a bridge model and a connecting rod in engine etc. were optimally designed by the methods and their good results were obtained. In addition, a health monitoring system is developed as a kind of artificial nerve system for mechanical structural systems. Because the structures to be designed by such evolutionary optimization methods should be implemented such self-monitoring systems. Very precise investigation of dragonfly wings was carried out from the viewpoint of str-uctural dynamics. Vibration testing gave the fundamental natural frequencies and natural modes of the wings. Vein network pattern was accurately measured using a digital microscope and a finite element model of a dragonfly wing was created. The finite element model is available for various computer simulation studies. Finally, the result of this research will be able to create the possibility and usefulness of future development on this sort of research works to the investigators and others
