  • Completely automated system for evolutionary design optimization with unstructured computational fluid dynamics
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Tsuyoshi Sumimoto; Masataka Sawahara
    PervasiveHealth: Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare, ICST, 54-58, 23 Mar. 2019, We have fulfilled a completely automated system of evolutionary design optimization with unstructured computational fluid dynamics. Until now, we cannot automatize aerodynamic design optimization to deal with geometry with high degrees of freedom. However, we achieved to simply iterate large-scale (it takes huge time to evaluate objective functions) and real-world evolutionary multiobjective optimizations. As a result, we efficiently obtained design knowledge for a next-step problem by applying the system to the design problem of a booster stage for two-stage-to-orbit. Moreover, this study yields the hypothesis regarding the appropriate algorithm of evolutionary computation for not only mathematical benchmark but also large-scale real-world problems.

  • Elucidation of Influence of Fuels on Hybrid Rocket Using Visualization of Design-Space Structure
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Shin’ya Watanabe; Masahiro Kanazaki; Koki Kitagawa; Toru Shimada
    Computational Methods in Applied Sciences, 48, 473-488, 2019, The stratum-type association analysis as a new data mining technique has been applied to the conceptual design of a single-stage launch vehicle with hybrid rocket engine. The conceptual design was performed by using design informatics, which has three points of view, i.e., problem definition, optimization, and data mining. The primary objective of the present design is that the down range and the duration time in the lower thermosphere are sufficiently secured for the aurora scientific observation, whereas the initial gross weight is held down to the extent possible. The multidisciplinary design optimization was performed by using a hybrid evolutionary computation. Data mining was also implemented by using the stratum-type association analysis. Consequently, the design information regarding the tradeoffs has been revealed. The hierarchical dendrogram generated by using the stratum-type association analysis indicates the structure of the design space in order to improve the objective functions. Furthermore, the assignments of the stratum-type association analysis have been obtained.

  • Genetic Algorithm Applied to Design Knowledge Discovery of Launch Vehicle Using Clustered Hybrid Rocket
    Masahiro Kanazaki; Kazuhisa Chiba; Shoma Ito; Masashi Nakamiya; Koki Kitagawa; Toru Shimada
    Computational Methods in Applied Sciences, 48, 519-535, 2019, The conceptual design of a multi-stage launch vehicle (LV) using a clustered hybrid rocket engine (HRE) is carried out through multi-disciplinary design optimization. This LV designed in this study can deliver micro-satellites to sunsynchronous orbits (SSO). The optimum size of each component, such as an oxidizer tank containing liquid oxidizer, a combustion chamber containing solid fuel, a pressurizing tank, and a nozzle, should be strictly optimized because of the combustion mechanism is different from existent liquid/solid rocket engines. In this study, the semi-empirical based evaluation is applied to the design optimization of the multi-stage LV. For clustered HRE, paraffin (FT-0070) is used as a propellant for the HRE, and three cases are compared to examine the commonization effect of the engine for each stage: In the first case, HREs are optimized for each stage. In the second case, HREs are optimized together for the first and second stages but separately for the third stage. In the third case, HREs are optimized together for each stage. The optimization results show that the performance of the design case that uses the same HREs in all stages is 40% reduced compared with the design case that uses optimized HREs for each stage.

  • Simple control of oxidizer flux for efficient extinction-reignition on a single-stage hybrid rocket
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Masahiro Kanazaki; Toru Shimada
    AEROSPACE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER, 71, 109-118, Dec. 2017, Peer-reviwed, This study aims at revealing the effect of the simple control of oxidizer flux on a hybrid rocket engine for an efficient extinction-reignition sequence to extend the downrange as well as the duration in the lower thermosphere. The data mining result in the prior study achieved a hypothesis that the thrust control between 1st and 2nd combustions spurs improving extinction-reignition performance. Accordingly, this study simply defines two amounts of oxidizer flux for 1st and 2nd combustions; we investigate using the design informatics platform whether this simple control of oxidizer flux is practically effective to improving extinction-reignition performance. Consequently, oxidizer flux control successfully fulfills the downrange extension as well as the duration protraction as we had expected. Furthermore, the evolutionary multiobjective optimization generates non-simple structure of the feasible region in the design space. Trajectory analyses for signature individuals and a data mining have specified detailed design strategies. In addition, they have also explained physical reasons why the non-simple structure is formed. Extinction-reignition with oxidizer flux control is useful for efficient operations of the hybrid rocket system. (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

  • Aerodynamic influences on a tethered high-altitude lighter-than-air platform system to its behavior
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Ryosuke Nishikawa; Masahiko Onda; Shin Satori; Ryojiro Akiba
    AEROSPACE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER, 70, 405-411, Nov. 2017, Peer-reviwed, The goal of this study was to investigate the influence of aerodynamic factors on the static behavior of a tethered high-altitude lighter-than-air platform. The system design comprised a lighter-than-air vehicle and a tether cable, and the conceptual platform configuration of such a system is studied herein. Governing equations were derived to model the static behavior of the system, and the effects of aerodynamic lift and buoyancy were parametrically analyzed based on the advection distance of the platform under storm conditions. The aerodynamic lift and buoyancy of the hull were shown to have nonlinear effects. We further analyzed the influence of the aerodynamic drag created by the tether. Since this was shown to have a significant influence, we concluded that the cable should ideally have a cross-sectional shape resembling the airfoil of a heavier-than-air aircraft. However, it is sufficient to ensure that the drag coefficient is of the order of 10(-1). (C) 2017 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

  • Design Strategy Generation for a Sounding Hybrid Rocket via Evolutionary Rule-Based Data Mining System
    Masaya Nakata; Kazuhisa Chiba
    INTELLIGENT AND EVOLUTIONARY SYSTEMS, IES 2016, SPRINGER INT PUBLISHING AG, 8, 305-318, 2017, Peer-reviwed, This paper aims to reveal design strategies of a sounding hybrid rocket to efficiently perform extinction-reignition. On previous studies, we have derived design candidates which each is a solution optimized on a design optimization problem for the sounding hybrid rocket. To extract design strategies from the design candidates, this paper applies an evolutionary mining system to design candidates, considered as a knowledge discovery task. Specifically, we introduce an evolutionary rule-based data mining system for analyzing a set of Pareto optimal solutions. Our system acquires rules indicating local design information and also we intuitively discover anomalous design strategies.

  • Multiple Additional Sampling by Expected Improvement Maximization in Efficient Global Optimization for Real-World Design Problems
    Masahiro Kanazaki; Taro Imamura; Takashi Matsuno; Kazuhisa Chiba
    INTELLIGENT AND EVOLUTIONARY SYSTEMS, IES 2016, SPRINGER INT PUBLISHING AG, 8, 183-194, 2017, Peer-reviwed, Efficient global optimization (EGO), based on the expected improvement maximization of the Kriging model, is a suitable optimization method for designs based on time-consuming evaluations such as computational fluid dynamics. However, the original formulation of EGO can find only one additional sample point after an initial sample point is acquired for the initial Kriging model construction. Therefore, the efficiency of EGO is decreased even if the designer is able to evaluate several designs using a large parallel computer because additional samples can only be obtained sequentially through the additional sampling process. In this study, a multiple additional sampling method is proposed to improve the efficiency of the additional sampling process in EGO while maintaining the performance of exploration based on EI maximization. The design performance of EGO with MAS is investigated by solving a test problem first, and then an airfoil design problem, which is a single objective problem. The results are compared with the original EGO in terms of the convergence of the objective function and the diversity of the design variables. According to these problems, the proposed method acquires optimum solutions as effectively as the original EGO, while the diversity of the solutions is improved. In addition, the total design time can be reduced compared with the original EGO in a parallel computational environment.

    CHEMICAL ROCKET PROPULSION: A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF ENERGETIC MATERIALS, SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN, 545-575, 2017, Peer-reviwed, Invited, The demand for the economic and dedicated space launchers for vast amount of lightweight, so-called nano-/microsatellites, is now growing rapidly. There is a strong rationale for the usage of the hybrid propulsion for economic space launch as suggested by the assessment conducted here. A typical concept of development of such an economic three-stage launcher, in which clustering unit hybrid rocket engines are employed, is described with a development scenario. Thanks to the benefits of hybrid rocket propulsion, assuring and safe, economic launcher dedicated to lightweight satellites can be developed with a reasonable amount of quality assurance and quality control actions being taken in all aspects of development such as raw material, production, transportation, storage, and operation. By applying a multi-objective optimization technique for such a launch system, examples of possible launch systems are obtained for a typical mission scenario for the launch of lightweight satellites. Furthermore, some important technologies that contribute strongly to economic space launch by hybrid propulsion are described. They are the behavior of fuel regression rate, the swirling-oxidizerflow- type hybrid rocket, the liquid oxygen vaporization, the multi-section swirl injection, the low-temperature melting point thermoplastic fuel, the thrust and O/F simultaneous control by altering-intensity swirl-oxidizer-flow-type (A-SOFT) hybrid, the numerical simulations of the internal ballistics, and so on.

  • Extinction-reignition superiority in a single-stage sounding hybrid rocket
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Hideyuki Yoda; Masahiro Kanazaki; Toru Shimada
    AEROSPACE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, ELSEVIER FRANCE-EDITIONS SCIENTIFIQUES MEDICALES ELSEVIER, 58, 437-444, Nov. 2016, Peer-reviwed, Information visualization has been performed for researching a single-stage sounding launch vehicle with hybrid rocket engine by using design informatics. The primary objective of this study is to reveal extinction-reignition superiority, which is one of the beneficial points of hybrid rocket, for extending the downrange and the duration in the lower thermosphere. In our hybrid rocket, swirling-flow oxidizer is furnished with solid fuel; we adopt polypropylene for solid fuel and liquid oxygen for oxidizer. A multidisciplinary design optimization is implemented by using a hybrid evolutionary computation; data mining is carried out by using a scatter plot matrix to efficiently perceive the entire design space. It is consequently revealed that extinction-reignition prolongs duration although it does not provide any effects on spreading downrange. Scatter plot matrix results indicate physical mechanisms of design variable behaviors for the objective functions and also the roles of the design variables via bird's-eye visualization of the entire design-space constitution. Furthermore, they suggest a hypothesis to extend downrange. (C) 2016 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

  • Physical Construction of Local Design Information for Sounding Hybrid Rocket Design via Correlation-based Information Hierarchical Structure
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Shinya Watanabe; Masahiro Kanazaki
    2016 IEEE CONGRESS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION (CEC), IEEE, 2588-2595, 2016, Peer-reviwed, Design information in practical engineering problems is briefly classified into two groups: global and local design information. Global design information is easy to physically construct but mostly trivial. In contrast, local design information is difficult to physically interpret because of mechanical acquisition but potentially worth for innovative design. This research deals with a recent data mining be named Correlation-based Information Hierarchical Structuring Method; we apply it to a practical engineering problem to physically construct local design information. As a result, our approach has successfully functioned as intuitive visual mining to generate latent hierarchical structure of the design space. Moreover, local design information regarding sweet spots was consequently revealed although the former mining techniques did not obtain them; physical construction could be also implemented by handling it.

  • On-demand correlation-based information hierarchical structuring method (CIHSM) for non-dominated solutions
    Shinya Watanabe; Sho Nakano; Kazuhisa Chiba; Masahiro Kanazaki
    2016 IEEE CONGRESS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION (CEC), IEEE, 1977-1984, 2016, Peer-reviwed, In this paper, on-demand analysis support system for non-dominated solutions (NDSs) was presented. This proposed system was designed by extending our previous analysis approach, correlation-based information hierarchical structuring method (CIHSM), to correspond with user's demand. Previous version of CIHSM could extract features of NDSs using association rule mining and visually present result of analyses as a hierarchical tree in which each node consists of a subgroup of NDSs. However, this version was not necessarily to extract the feature required by user in the case of weak trend. If it tried to extract every association rule even though their correlation degrees are very weak, the number of the derived association rules is so large that previous CIHSM cannot manage these. Therefore, this paper presents a modified CIHSM corresponding to on-demand requests. In this on-demand CIHSM, users provide their demands in advance. And on-demand CIHSM tries to extract as many as possible association rules and eliminate every association rule not relevant to user's demand. This on-demand CIHSM only provides detailed information consistent with user's demand. Through some test problems, it was verified how accurate information on-demand CIHSM can extract from NDSs.

Two test design problems were formulated by using two objective functions: maximization of downrange and minimization of initial gross weight, seven design variables which describe geometry and initial conditions, and one constraint relative to target altitude. The optimization result reveals the economical performance of hybrid rocket is limited with HRE in terms of the maximum downrange achievable. Moreover, the data-mining result indicates the mechanism of design-variable behavior.

    2014 ASIA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY, APISAT2014, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 99, 905-910, 2015, Peer-reviwed, The existence of a platform at the stratosphere is expected to be the role to gain a foothold in space. When the platform is employed airship in, it is transported by advection due to its light-weight body. Thereupon, a mooring of platform is reasonable in order to incarnate fixed-point platform. Conception of a captive platform system is similar to the Rockoon one which rendered remarkable services for the space observation of the early days. Therefore, the application of captive platform system to the launch site is highly expected in order to realize the space transportation system with a large quantity and high frequency. In this study, the motion of a captive platform system constructed from an airship and a tether is analyzed in order to ensure that the motion of a captive platform system is practically incarnated. Moreover, the sensitivity of aerodynamic performance of the airship is observed. Consequently, the practically incarnated motion of a captive platform system has been identified under the condition of the storm environment. Furthermore, the reduction of the advection distance driven away by the storm has been quantitatively indicated under the different condition of aerodynamic performance of the airship.

    Masahiro Kanazaki; Atthaphon Ariyairt; Kazuhisa Chiba; Koki Kitagawa; ToruShimada
    2014 ASIA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY, APISAT2014, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 99, 198-207, 2015, Peer-reviwed, In this study, a multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) was applied to the multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of a hybrid rocket. A swirling-oxidizer-type hybrid rocket engine (HRE) with a single cylindrical grain port was designed. It was considered that this HRE could temporarily stop combustion via oxidizer throttling; this feature is called multi-combustion. The MOGA was applied to solve the multi-objective problem using real-number coding and the Pareto ranking method. In this study, three design problems were considered. First problem was the maximization of the flight altitude and minimization of the gross weight. Second problem was the minimization of the maximum acceleration and minimization of the gross weight. Third problem was the maximization of the duration time over the target flight altitude and minimization of the gross weight. Each objective function was empirically estimated. In addition, this study compared two types of HREs to investigate the emects of the multi-combustion: one type was able to carry out the multi-combustion, and the other was not. Many non-dominated solutions were obtained using the MOGA, and a trade-off was observed between the two objective functions. To understand the design problem, the MOGA results were visualized using a parallel coordinate plot (PCP). (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    2015 IEEE SYMPOSIUM SERIES ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE (IEEE SSCI), IEEE, 933-940, 2015, Peer-reviwed, Visualization of design space has been performed for researching and developing a single-stage launch vehicle with hybrid rocket engine by using design informatics, which has three points of view such as problem definition, optimization, and data mining. The primary objective of the present design is that the ascendancy of extinction-reignition, which is one of the beneficial point of hybrid rocket, for improving the downrange and the duration time in the lower thermosphere. Polypropylene and liquid oxygen with swirling flow are adopted as solid fuel and liquid oxidizer, respectively. The multidisciplinary design optimization was performed by using a hybrid evolutionary computation; data mining was implemented by using a scatterplot matrix in order to efficiently perceive design space. As a result, it is revealed that extinction-reignition extends the duration time though it does not give an effect on improving the downrange. Data-mining results also show the physical mechanism of the design variables to improve the duration time on the visualization of design-space constitution.

    SPACE TECHNOLOGY JAPAN, THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, 12, 111-117, Nov. 2013, Peer-reviwed, Precision agriculture has been being implemented in order environmentally friendly and efficiently to product and manage crops. The remote sensing by satellite and aircraft is employed in order to obtain the information regarding the growth of crops. Although the data from satellites can include wide-range image each time, it is insufficient due to the fixed orbital path of satellites. Therefore, fixed-point observations cannot be sufficiently performed. Moreover, the observations on fixed orbital path cannot be always carried out because of cloud. Although aircrafts are used for the interpolation of the insufficient data by satellites, manned aircrafts need high personnel expenses and maintenance costs. Therefore, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is recently employed. The objective of the present study is the development of the system to generate the interpolated image data by normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) map taken by small-type UAV (sUAV), which is low-priced and simple system to implement precision agriculture. The following three assignments have been concretely performed in the present study; 1) light-weight four-band multispectral camera carried in sUAV will be developed, 2) sUAV is managed and the image data will be taken, and 3) NDVI map will be generated from the image data by sUAV and interpolated image data will also be developed to contribute precision agriculture. Consequently, the lightest four-band multispectral camera in the world has been developed, and also sUAV has been able to be successfully managed and acquired image data could also generates NDVI maps.

    Journal of Computational Science and Technology, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 7, 2, 184-195, Jun. 2013, Peer-reviwed, Invited, Design informatics, which is the efficient design methodology, has three points of view. The first is the efficient exploration in design space using evolutionary-based optimization methods. The second is the structuring and visualizing of design space using data mining techniques. The third is the application to practical problems. In the present study, the influence of the difference among the seven pure and hybrid optimization methods for design information has been investigated in order to explain the selection manner of optimization methods for data mining. The practical problem of a single-stage hybrid rocket is picked up as the present design object. A functional analysis of variance and a self-organizing map are employed as data mining techniques in order to acquire the global information in design space. As a result, mining result depends on not the number of generation (i.e. convergence) but the optimization methods (i.e. diversity). Consequently, the optimization method with diversity performance is the beneficial selection in order to obtain the global design information in design space.

    Journal of Computational Science and Technology, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 7, 1, 28-37, Apr. 2013, Peer-reviwed, Design Informatics has three points of view. First point is the efficient exploration in design space using evolutionary computation. Second point is the structuring and visualizing of design space using data mining. Third point is the application to practical problems. The investigation of efficient evolutionary-based optimizer for the above first point is essential in order to generate hypothetical database for data mining. In the present study, the performance regarding diversity and convergence has been compared among pure and their hybrid methods using three standard mathematical test problems with/without noise. The result indicates that the hybrid method between the genetic algorithm based on the elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm and the differential evolution is better performance for efficient exploration in the design space under the condition for large-scale engineering design problems within 102 order evolution at most. Moreover, the comparison among eight crossover indicates that the principal component analysis blended crossover is good performance on the hybrid method between the genetic algorithm and the differential evolution.

Design informatics allows efficient exploration of the design space and implements conception support for innovative design concepts. In the present study, this approach was applied to the design of the full configuration of the silent supersonic technology demonstrator. The design-informatics approach involves two steps: optimization and data mining. As a first step, multidisciplinary design optimization with multiple objectives was performed considering aerodynamics, stability, structures, aeroelasticity, and boom noise using an evolutionary algorithm. As a second step, data mining was carried out using a self-organizing map and an analysis of variance to extract design knowledge from the acquired optimization results for determining a conclusive compromise solution. Although the optimization had insufficient convergence due to the constraints of time and computational cost, the data mining brought important design information. Since the design space was consequently clarified, a compromise solution was successfully determined. Thus, design informatics is essential to an efficient design process.

The multi-objective problem should be treated in a real-world engineering problem because of the various design requirements. When a multi-objective optimization is implemented, the obtained result is not a sole solution but a set of optimum solutions due to tradeoff relations among design requirements. Therefore, decision-making process is necessary as a post-process for optimization result. In the present study, the design-informatics approach, which is considered as a sequential process between an optimization and its post-process operations, is suggested and is applied to the large-scale and real-world design problem. Consequently, a compromised solution can be efficiently decided from the non-dominated solutions obtained by multidisciplinary design optimization. This approach would be a new efficient procedure for design manner, and also it would be the methodology that innovative design knowledge can be acquired. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Knowledge Discovery for Flyback-Booster Aerodynamic Wing Design Using Data Mining
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Shigeru Obayashi
    JOURNAL OF SPACECRAFT AND ROCKETS, AMER INST AERONAUT ASTRONAUT, 45, 5, 975-987, Sep. 2008, Data mining has been performed on the result,; of an aerodynamic design optimization of a two-stage-to-orbit reusable launch vehicle flyback-booster wing. Three data mining techniques were compared, including selforganizing map, functional analysis of variance, and the rough set theory. The optimization problem had four aerodynamic objective functions and 71 wing shape design variables. The hypothetical design database resulting from the optimization contained a total of 302 solutions which included 102 nondominated solutions. Consequently, the acquired knowledge of the design space consisted of general design characteristics, correlation between objective functions, and the effects of these design variables on the objective functions, for both nondominated as well as all solutions. The comparison also revealed the similarities and differences among the three data mining techniques used in this study. Even though all three techniques discovered detailed design knowledge and the results produced by the combination of all three methods compensated disadvantages of each method when applied individually, it was discovered that the self-organizing map produced the overall best results. Moreover, this study has also shown that the knowledge acquired from both nondominated solutions and from all solutions found was consistent despite the differences between the design spaces. Furthermore, it was shown that data mining is essential for visualizing results of an evolutionary multi-objective optimization problem and extracting useful design knowledge from these results.

    Kazuhisa Chiba; Yoshikazu Makino; Takeshi Takatoya
    JOURNAL OF AIRCRAFT, AMER INST AERONAUTICS ASTRONAUTICS, 45, 5, 1481-1494, Sep. 2008, Multidisciplinary design exploration with multiple objectives was performed for the wing shape of a silent supersonic technology demonstrator, considering aerodynamics, structures, and boom noise. Aerodynamic evaluation was carried out by solving Euler equations with computational fluid dynamics, and composite structural evaluation was performed by using Nastran for strength and vibration requirements with computational structural dynamics. The intensity of the sonic boom was evaluated by a modified linear theory. The optimization problem had five objective functions: minimization of the pressure and friction drags, boom intensity at the supersonic condition, and composite structural weight and maximization of the lift at the subsonic low-speed condition. The three-dimensional wing shape defined by 58 design variables was optimized with multi-objective particle swarm optimization and an adaptive-range multi-objective hybrid genetic algorithm method. In the structural evaluation, the combination optimization of stacking sequences of laminated composites was performed for inboard and outboard wings with strength and vibration requirements. Consequently, 75 nondominated solutions were efficiently obtained through 12 generations. Moreover, data mining was performed to obtain the design knowledge for deciding a compromise solution. The data mining revealed useful knowledge in the design space, such as the tradeoff information among the objective functions and the correlations between the objective functions and design variables. A compromise solution was successfully determined by using the obtained physical design knowledge.

Moreover, it was applied to a large-scale and real-world engineering design problem. The performance measurement was carried out under the conditions of a small number of population size and generations to apply the practical problem which it needed large computational time for the evaluation. The convergence metric and the cover rate were employed as the measurement manners. Consequently, it revealed that the present hybrid method had similar performance for a simple three-dimensional test problem compared with genetic algorithm in a small number of generations. Moreover, it had the best performance for the test functions with noise. Therefore, the present hybrid method was applied to the wing design of the silent supersonic technology demonstrator. As a result, the efficient design exploration was performed and obtained 75 non-dominated solutions revealed the beneficial knowledge to decide a compromise solution.

    Kazuhisa Chiba; Shigeru Obayashi; Hiroyuki Morino
    JOURNAL OF ADVANCED MECHANICAL DESIGN SYSTEMS AND MANUFACTURING, JAPAN SOC MECHANICAL ENGINEERS, 2, 3, 396-407, 2008, Data mining is an important facet of solving multi-objective optimization problem. Because it is one of the effective manner to discover the design knowledge in the multi-objective optimization problem which obtains large data. In the present study, data mining has been performed for a large-scale and real-world multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) to provide knowledge regarding the design space. The MDO among aerodynamics, structures, and aeroelasticity of the regional-jet wing was carried out using high-fidelity evaluation models on the adaptive range multi-objective genetic algorithm. As a result, nine non-dominated solutions were generated and used for tradeoff analysis among three objectives. All solutions evaluated during the evolution were analyzed for the tradeoffs and influence of design variables using a self-organizing map to extract key features of the design space. Although the MDO results showed the inverted gull-wings as non-dominated solutions, one of the key features found by data mining was the non-gull wing geometry. When this knowledge was applied to one optimum solution, the resulting design was found to have better performance compared with the original geometry designed in the conventional manner.

  • Data mining for multidisciplinary design space of regional-jet wing
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Shigeru Obayashi
    Journal of Aerospace Computing, Information and Communication, 4, 11, 1019-1036, Nov. 2007, Two data mining techniques have been performed for a large-scale and real-world multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) results to provide knowledge in design space. The MDO among aerodynamics, structures, and aeroelasticity for a regional-jet wing was carried out using high-fidelity evaluation tools on adaptive range multi-objective genetic algorithm. MDO generated 130 solutions included in nine non-dominated solutions. All solutions were investigated regarding tradeoffs among three objective functions and effects of design variables on objective functions using a self-organizing map (SOM) and a functional analysis of variance (ANOVA) to extract key features of the design space. Consequently, as SOM and ANOVA compensated with respective disadvantages, the design knowledge could be obtained more clearly by the combination between them. Although the MDO result showed the inverted gull-wings as non-dominated solutions, one of the key features revealed by data mining was the non-gull wing geometry. When this knowledge was applied to one optimum solution, the resulting design was found to have better performance compared with the original geometry designed in the conventional manner. Data mining can discover better design due to the salvage of information from design space even when optimization itself does not converge.

  • Multidisciplinary design optimization and data mining for transonic regional-jet wing
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Akira Oyama; Shigeru Obayashi; Kazuhiro Nakahashi; Hiroyuki Morino
    Journal of Aircraft, 44, 4, 1100-1112, Jul. 2007, A large-scale, real-world application of evolutionary multi-objective optimization is reported. The multidisciplinary design optimization among aerodynamics, structures, and aeroelasticity of the wing of a transonic regional-jet aircraft was performed using high-fidelity evaluation models. Euler and Navier-Stokes solvers were employed for aerodynamic evaluation. The commercial software NASTRAN was coupled with a computational fluid dynamics solver for the structural and aeroelastic evaluations. An adaptive range multi-objective genetic algorithm was employed as an optimizer. The objective functions were minimizations of block fuel and maximum takeoff weight in addition to drag divergence between transonic and subsonic flight conditions. As a result, nine nondominated solutions were generated and used for tradeoff analysis among three objectives. Moreover, all solutions evaluated during the evolution were analyzed using a self-organizing map as a data mining technique to extract key features of the design space. One of the key features found by data mining was the nongull wing geometry, although the present multidisciplinary design optimization results showed the inverted gull wings as nondominated solutions. When this knowledge was applied to one optimum solution, the resulting design was found to have better performance and to achieve 3.6% improvement in the block fuel compared to the original geometry designed in the conventional manner.

  • Multi-Objective Design Exploration and its application to regional-jet wing design
    Shigeru Obayashi; Shinkyu Jeong; Kazuhisa Chiba; Hiroyuki Morino
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, JAPAN SOC AERONAUT SPACE SCI, 50, 167, 1-8, May 2007, A new approach, Multi-Objective Design Exploration (MODE), is presented to address multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) problems using computational fluid dynamics-computational structural dynamics (CFD-CSD) coupling. MODE reveals the structure of the design space from the trade-off information and visualizes it as a panorama for Decision Maker. The present form of MODE consists of the Kriging Model, adaptive range multi objective genetic algorithms, analysis of variance and a self-organizing map. The main emphasis of this approach is visual data mining. An MDO system using high-fidelity simulation codes, a Navier-Stokes solver and NASTRAN has been developed and applied to a regional-jet wing design. Because the optimization system becomes very expensive cornputationally, only brief exploration of the design space has been performed. However, visual data mining results demonstrate that design knowledge can produce a good design even after brief design exploration.

  • Knowledge Discovery in Multidisciplinary Design Space for Regional-Jet Wings Using Data Mining
    CHIBA Kazuhisa; JEONG Shinkyu; OBAYASHI Shigeru
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, 50, 169, 181-192, 2007, Data mining is an important facet of solving multi-objective optimization problems. In the present study, two data mining techniques were applied to a large-scale, real-world multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) problem to provide knowledge regarding the design space. The use of MDO in the aerodynamics, structure, and aeroelasticity of a regional-jet wing was carried out using high-fidelity evaluation models with an adaptive range multi-objective genetic algorithm. As a result, nine non-dominated solutions were generated and used for tradeoff analysis of three objectives. All solutions evaluated during the evolution were analyzed for the influence of design variables using a self-organizing map (SOM) and a functional analysis of variance (ANOVA) to extract key features of the design space. As SOM and ANOVA compensate for respective disadvantages, the design knowledge could be obtained more clearly by combinating them. Although the MDO results showed inverted gull-wings as non-dominated solutions, one of the key features found by data mining was a non-gull wing geometry. When this knowledge was applied to one optimum solution, the resulting design was found to have better performance compared with the original geometry designed in the conventional manner.

  • Design Optimization of Shielding Effect for Aircraft Engine Noise
    CHIBA Kazuhisa; IMAMURA Taro; AMEMIYA Kazuhisa; YAMAMOTO Kazuomi
    JEE, The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2, 3, 567-577, 2007, The present study is a technical report of the multi-objective design optimization of the two-dimensional shielding effect for the reduction of aircraft engine fan noise. The design optimization has been performed for the simplified cross section of aircraft with fuselage and plane wing. Two objective functions are considered for minimizing the sound pressure level at the side and the bottom locations relative to the fuselage, where standard measuring locations are defined by International Civil Aviation Organization. Those values are evaluated by using the linearized Euler equations. Since a wing, which is defined as a plate without thickness, is assumed as a V-tail wing, it is described by using the length and cant angle relative to the fuselage. The kriging-based response surface model is selected as an optimizer for the reduction of optimization cost. As a result, it is revealed that engine fan noise described by a monopole sound source is reduced by the shielding effect. Moreover, there is no tradeoff between two objective functions, i.e., the sound pressure levels at the side and the bottom measuring locations can be simultaneously reduced. As it is better that the wing length is as long as possible, the cant angle is essential for the shielding effect to reduce engine fan noise.

  • Open-Type Separation on Delta Wings for Leading-Edge Bluntness
    CHIBA Kazuhisa; OBAYASHI Shigeru; NAKAHASHI Kazuhiro
    TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, 50, 168, 81-87, 2007, A numerical simulation was carried out corresponding to recent experiments using delta wings with sharp and blunt leading-edges, which indicates the second primary vortex, at NASA Langley Research Center. However, the experimental data did not reveal the detailed physical phenomena regarding the second primary vortex, because the experiment used only on-the-body-surface data. In the present study, the physical phenomena were revealed using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes computations with three one-equation turbulence models on an unstructured hybrid mesh. The adaptive mesh refinement method in the vicinity of the vortex center was also applied to have more mesh resolution. Consequently, the result quantitatively revealed that appropriate modeling regarding turbulent kinematic viscosity was significant. Moreover, the three-dimensional visualization of the computational fluid dynamics results suggested that the second primary vortex was a developing shear layer merging into an open-type separation generated late by the primary vortex.

  • Multidisciplinary design exploration of wing shape for silent supersonic technology demonstrator
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Yoshikazu Makino; Takeshi Takatoya
    Collection of Technical Papers - AIAA Applied Aerodynamics Conference, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc., 2, 960-978, 2007, Multidisciplinary design exploration with multi-objectives has been performed for the wing shape of a silent supersonic technology demonstrator among aerodynamics, structures, and boom noise. Aerodynamic evaluation was carried out by using Euler computation on computational fluid dynamics, and composite structural evaluation was performed by using NASTRAN for strength and vibration requirements on computational structural dynamics. The intensity of sonic boom was evaluated by a modified linear theory. The optimization problem had five objective functions as the minimizations of the pressure/friction drags and the boom intensity at supersonic condition, and the composite structural weight as well as the maximization of the lift at subsonic condition. The three-dimensional wing shape defined by 58 design variables was optimized on particle swarm optimization and genetic algorithm hybrid method. In the structural evaluation, the combination optimization of stacking sequences of laminated composites was performed for in/outboard wings with strength and vibration requirements, respectively. Moreover, since the result of a multi-objective optimization problem is not a sole solution but an optimum set due to tradeoffs, data mining was performed to decide a compromise solution. Consequently, 75 non-dominated solutions were obtained. The data mining revealed the knowledge in the design space, such as the relations among the objectives, and the correlations among objectives and design variables. A compromise solution was determined through data mining. Copyright © 2007 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc. All rights reserved.

    JOURNAL OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, THE JAPAN SOCIETY FOR AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE SCIENCES, 54, 627, 144-150, 2006, The wing shape of flyback booster for a Two-Stage-To-Orbit reusable launch vehicle has been optimized considering four objectives. The objectives are to minimize the shift of aerodynamic center between supersonic and transonic conditions, transonic pitching moment and transonic drag coefficient, as well as to maximize subsonic lift coefficient. The three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes computation using the modified Spalart-Allmaras one-equation model is used in aerodynamic evaluation accounting for possible flow separations. Adaptive range multi-objective genetic algorithm is used for the present study because tradeoff can be obtained using a smaller number of individuals than conventional multi-objective genetic algorithms. Consequently, four-objective optimization has produced 102 non-dominated solutions, which represent tradeoff information among four objective functions. Moreover, Self-Organizing Maps have been used to analyze the present non-dominated solutions and to visualize tradeoffs and influence of design variables to the four objectives. Self-Organizing Maps contoured by the four objective functions and design variables are found to visualize tradeoffs and effects of each design variable.

  • Knowledge discovery in aerodynamic design space for flyback-booster wing using data mining
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Shinkyu Jeong; Shigeru Obayashi; Kazuomi Yamamoto
    A Collection of Technical Papers - 14th AIAA/AHI International Space Planes and Hypersonic Systems and Technologies Conference, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc., 1, 806-823, 2006, The data mining has been performed for the aerodynamic design optimization result of two-stage-to-orbit reusable launch vehicle flyback booster wing. Three data mining techniques were used such as self-organizing map, functional analysis of variance, and rough set theory. The optimization problem had four aerodynamic objective functions and 71 design variables regarding wing shape. The optimization obtained the result as the hypothetical design database with 302 all solutions including the 102 non-dominated solutions. Consequently, the knowledge in the design space was acquired regarding the correlation between objective functions, and the influence of the design variables to the objective function, for non-dominated and all evaluated solutions, respectively. The features of three data mining techniques were revealed. Although the combination among three techniques discovered detailed design knowledge, self-organizing map was especially a key technique for knowledge discovery. Moreover, design knowledge from all solutions conserved the information from non-dominated solutions. Data mining was essential to solve multi-objective optimization problem.

    We have implemented the design optimization of the three-dimensional geometry for a two-stage-to-orbit flyback booster under six objective functions regarding aerodynamics, aerodynamic heating, and structures to obtain the knowledge for designing reusable launch vehicle. It is important to view the relationship among the objective functions of other fields with aerodynamic heating under designing spacecraft. We defined many-objective problem to execute more realistic configuration design based on WIRES of Kyushu Institute of Technology and feedback the design knowledge. Accordingly, we used evolutionary computation as the optimization method and applied IBEA as evolutionary algorithm, which has appropriate result in many-objective optimization for searching design variables space and getting design information. Moreover, data analysis was carried out for the optimization result to reveal information in the design space. Consequently, we need to consider the strictly different design strategy for the speed range between the transonic and the supersonic as well as hypersonic conditions. We also revealed that the design strategy of configuration which improve each objective functions., IEEE, 2018, 2018 IEEE SYMPOSIUM SERIES ON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE (IEEE SSCI), 1331-1338, English, WOS:000459238800182
  • Aerodynamic effect of aircraft flap with yaw-rotational degree of freedom
    Tatsuro Komatsu; Kazuhisa Chiba
    In this paper, fluid numerical calculations were carried out to investigate the aerodynamic performance when yaw rotational degree of freedom is added to the flap. First, I made three meshes and discussed from a comparison of aerodynamic coefficients and visualization result of pressure coefficient distribution to investigate the influence of the mesh density on aerodynamic characteristics. since the same results was showed as mesh with the finest mesh density, we used medium mesh for the investigation of the aerodynamic performance when yaw rotational degree of freedom is added to the flap. Next, I created four models with different yaw-rotational angles of flap and performed calculation assuming uniform flow to investigate the effect of flap with rotational angle. The aerodynamic coefficient and the visualization result were similarly compared and discussed. As a result, lift coefficient is increased by setting appropriate yaw rotational angle to flap., American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA, 2018, AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 2018, 210059, English, Peer-reviwed, 85044387688

    The Betti sequence which is one of the topological data analysis has been applied to the time series dataset in which a transonic buffet occurred. In this project, we aim to find temporal and spatial originations of transonic buffet by data analyses, therefore, numerical fluid analysis is performed by unsteady detached eddy simulation which sweeps angle of attack, then datasets are created. In this paper, as the first trial, we set up six monitoring points in the vicinity where the transonic buffet passes on the wing upper surface
    the Betti sequence was applied to the x-directional velocity and the pressure. As a result, on the wing surface, the Betti sequence only responded to the pulse of the physical quantity, as the disturbance of the physical quantities by the separation behind the shockwave and that by the transonic buffet are similar. Other monitoring points should be provided outside the separation region., American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc, AIAA, 2018, AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 2018, 210059, AIAA Paper-2018-0036, English, Peer-reviwed, 85044379012

This paper presents a general-purpose extension of the visualization technique which represents multi-dimensional data as a combination of the scatterplots with parallel coordinate plots. We aim to automatically select a small number of pairs of variables which are estimated that they bring interesting visualization by scatterplots. This paper also presents an application of this visualization technique to Multi-objective optimization of manufacturing design.

    <p>The transonic buffet degrades the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft during cruise. It is a phenomenon that should be avoided absolutely as it may lead to accidents. However, the mechanism of occurrence has yet to be elucidated. To understand this phenomenon, large-scale unsteady data is accumulated using computational fluid dynamics. In contrast, data mining of time series data such as unsteady data is a topic of the future in that field. In this study, we attempted mining unsteady data with capacity exceeding Tera's order. As a result, the behavior of the physical quantity is suggested to be different from the data just before the transonic buffet occurs. Based on this result, we visualized the data over time, and found that the characteristic change of the viscosity distribution of the wing surface can be seen. This should be a clue to elucidate this phenomenon.</p>, 一般社団法人 日本機械学会, Sep. 2017, The Proceedings of Mechanical Engineering Congress, Japan, 2017, 0, ROMBUNNO.F011002, Japanese, 201802223721128847, 130006549800
  • Knee point analysis of many-objective Pareto fronts based on Reeb graph
    Naoki Hamada; Kazuhisa Chiba
    In many-objective optimization, the dimensionality of Pareto fronts becomes higher than three, and extracting preferable points for the decision maker is a key issue in the post-optimal analysis. The aim of this study is to develop a method to detect and visualize high-dimensional knee points. We propose a new definition of knee point and a graph-based approach to detect our knee points with a visualization of the geometry of the whole Pareto front. Our method is examined via Pareto front samples of synthetic problems and a real-world airplane design., Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 05 Jul. 2017, 2017 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, CEC 2017 - Proceedings, 1603-1612, English, Peer-reviwed, 85028502815

  • From Extraction to Generation of Design Information Paradigm Shift in Data Mining via Evolutionary Learning Classifier System
    Kazuhisa Chiba; Masaya Nakata
    This paper aims at generating as well as extracting design strategies for a real world problem using an evolutionary learning classifier system. Data mining for a design optimization result as a virtual database specifies design information and discovers latent design knowledge. It is essential for decision making in real world problems. Although we employed several methods from classic statistics to artificial intelligence to obtain design information from optimization results, we may not cognize anything beyond a prepared database. In this study, we have applied an evolutionary learning classifier system as a data mining technique to a real world engineering problem. Consequently, not only it extracted known design information but also it successfully generated design strategies not to extract from the database. The generated design rules do not physically become innovative knowledge because the prepared dataset include Pareto solutions owing to complete exploration to the edge of the feasible region in the optimization. However, this problem is independent of the method, our evolutionary learning classifier system is a useful method for incomplete datasets. (C) 2017 The Authors.

    Kazuhisa Chiba; Hideyuki Yoda; Shoma Ito; Masahiro Kanazaki; Shin’ya Watanabe; Koki Kitagawa; Toru Shimada
    © 2016 by Authors.A single-stage launch vehicle with hybrid rocket engine has been conceptually designed by using design informatics, which has three points of view, i.e., problem definition, optimization, and data mining. The primary objective of the present design is that the downrange and the duration time in the lower thermosphere are sufficiently secured for the aurora scientific observation, whereas the initial gross weight is held down to the extent possible. The multidisciplinary design optimization was performed by using a hybrid evolutionary computation. Data mining was also implemented by using a scatter plot matrix. Polypropylene and liquid oxygen with swirling flow are adopted as solid fuel and liquid oxidizer, respectively. The condition of two-time ignitions is assumed in fight sequence on the equation of motion for the three degree of freedom rigid body. Consequently, the design information regarding the tradeoffs, the behaviors of the design variables in the design space to become the nondominated solutions, and the implication of the design variables for the objective functions have been obtained quantitatively. The structurization and visualization of the design space has been implemented in order to observe the effectiveness of the local regions of each design variable. The advantage of extinction-reignition has been indicated., 01 Jan. 2016, 57th AIAA/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference, 84958559299

    Kazuhisa Chiba; Shin Satori; Ryuichi Mitsuhashi; Jun'Ya Sasaki; Ryojiro Akiba
    © 2015, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Inc. All rights received.The existence of a platform at the stratosphere is expected to be the role to gain a foothold in space. When the platform is employed airship in, it is transported by advection due to its lighter-than-air body. Thereupon, a mooring of platform is reasonable in order to incarnate _xed-point platform. Conception of a captive platform system is similar to the Rockoon one which rendered remarkable services for the space observation of the early days. Therefore, the application of captive platform system to the launch site is highly expected in order to realize the space transportation system with a large quantity and high frequency. In this study, the motion of a captive platform system constructed from an airship and tethers is analyzed in order to ensure that the motion of a captive platform system is practically incarnated. Moreover, the sensitivities of aerodynamic performance and buoyancy of the airship is observed. Consequently, the practically incarnated motion of a captive platform system has been identi_ed under the condition of the storm environment. Furthermore, the reduction of the advection distance driven away by the storm has been quantitatively indicated under the different conditions of aerodynamic performance and buoyancy of the airship. The sensitivities of the lift and buoyancy of the airship for the motion of a system has been revealed in order to conceptually design airship geometry., 01 Jan. 2015, AIAA Infotech at Aerospace, 84937819304
  • Evolutionary Algorithm Applied to Ballistic Launch Vehicle Design Using Hybrid Rocket Engine Evaluated by Enhanced Flight Simulation
    Hideyuki Yoda; Shoma Ito; Masahiro Kanazaki; Kazuhisa Chiba; Koki Kitagawa; Toru Shimada
    A multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) has been applied to the multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) of a launch vehicle (LV) with a hybrid rocket engine (HRE) to investigate the ability of an HRE to serve as a sounding rocket from various perspectives. In this study, the flight evaluation was enhanced to 3-degree-of-freedom (3DoF) in order to consider the equations of motion for horizontal and vertical motion and rotation of the LV. In the consideration of the rotation of the LV, the time variation of the center of gravity due to the fuel burn was estimated. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA-II) was used to solve multi-objective problems (MoPs). Four design problems were examined in order to understand the practical physics of hybrid rocket. As a result, tradeoff information was observed for all design problems. The results for the present four design problems indicate that economical performance of LV is limited with the HRE in terms of the maximum altitude and maximum downrange distances achievable. The hypervolume, which was used as the metric to evaluate the difficulty of the design problems, reveals that the convergence of the solutions for not only altitude maximization in the case of a vertical launch but also the maximization of downrange at higher target altitudes was affected by the severe limitation. To observe the dependence of the design problems on the constraint, the design problems were visualized using a colored parallel coordinates plot (PCP), and the LV geometries determined from the nondominated solutions were successfully examined., IEEE, 2015, 2015 IEEE CONGRESS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION (CEC), 618-625, English, 84963567634, WOS:000380444800082

The mooring hybrid airship will become a multi-purpose platform such as the local communication infrastructure in emergency and remote sensing. It is also expected to use as a new space launch platform as known rockoon. The recent hybrid airship has an advantage of not only using the force of buoyancy but also the aerodynamic lifting force.

  • 3303 Mapping normalized vegetation index for precision agriculture by small unmanned aircraft
    KAMEI Takuya; ITOH Tomonori; OHTA Satoshi; SATORI Shin; CHIBA Kazuhisa
    Precision agriculture has been being implemented in order environmentally friendly and efficiently to product and manage crops. The remote sensing by satellite and aircraft is employed in order to obtain the information regarding the growth of crops. Although the data from satellites can include wide-range image each time, it is insufficient due to the fixed orbital path of satellites. Therefore, fixed-point observations cannot be sufficiently performed. Moreover, the observations on fixed orbital path cannot be always carried out because of cloud. Although aircrafts are used for the interpolation of the insufficient data by satellites, manned aircrafts need high personnel expenses and maintenance costs. Therefore, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is recently employed. The objective of the present study is the development of the system to generate the interpolated image data by normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) map taken by small-type UAV (sUAV), which is low-priced and simple system to implement precision agriculture. The following three assignments have been concretely performed in the present study; 1) light-weight four-band multispectral camera carried in sUAV will be developed, 2) sUAV is managed and the image data will be taken, and 3) NDVI map will be generated from the image data by sUAV and interpolated image data will also be developed to contribute precision agriculture. Consequently, the lightest four-band multispectral camera in the world has been developed, and also sUAV has been able to be successfully managed and acquired image data could also generates NDVI maps., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 23 Oct. 2013, 設計工学・システム部門講演会講演論文集, 2013, 23, "3303-1"-"3303-8", Japanese, 1348-0286, 110009934453, AA11901475

In past studies, we have succeeded in mounting a lightweight four-band multispectral camera with small-type unmanned aerial vehicle. However, this small-type unmanned aerial vehicle for photographing is conducted management of flight information only visually. Therefore, it is not sure where the photo was taken, and operates only in the visible range. In this study, as the next step, for correction of images taken, and flight information management of the aircraft, we have built a real-time operational environment with support for data management and small-type unmanned aerial vehicle with GPS.

  • F011001 Creation and Prospect of Design-Informatics
    Chiba Kazuhisa
    Design-informatics has been proposed for efficient design,namely,it performs efficient exploration for design space and also implements conception support for innovative hypothesis.The results produced by evolutionary multi-objective optimizations are not individual optimal solution but rather an entire set of optimal solutions.That is,the result of a multi-objective optimization is not the end of the process while from a practical point of view the designers need a conclusive shape or few candidates of a conclusive shape.Therefore,multi-objective design exploration was performed as a next step in order to overlook design space.This approach is a stance to passively construct an obtained design knowledge while comparing with design space.On the other hand,design-informatics actively systematizes design information in order to perform conception support for designer.In the present paper,the recent results of optimization and design information using data mining are surveyed so that efficient approach is investigated for conception support., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 09 Sep. 2012, Mechanical Engineering Congress, Japan, 2012, "F011001-1"-"F011001-3", Japanese, 110009993953, AA12588255

    K.Chiba; T. Imamura; K. Amemiya; S. Jeong; K. Yamamoto
    The multi-objective design exploration of the two-dimensional shielding effect for engine noise using V-tale wing has been performed. Two objective functions are considered as the minimization of the sound pressure level at the side and bottom locations relative to the fuselage, which values are evaluated by using the linearized Euler equation. Two design variables are defined as the wing length and the wing cant angle to set on the fuselage. The response surface method based on the kriging model is employed as the optimizer to reduce the time required for design exploration. As a result, there is no tradeoff between two objective functions, i.e., the sound pressure level at the side and bottom measuring locations can be reduced, simultaneously. The wing cant angle which is set at roughly 65 deg is most effective to shield the noise. It is justly the necessary condition to reduce the sound pressure level that the wing length becomes long. Moreover, a self-organizing map as a data mining technique reveals the knowledge in the design space regarding the correlation among the objective functions and the design variables., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2006, The European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Science CFD 2006, 2006, 281-282, Japanese, 110006635981, AA11461871

  • Data mining for multidisciplinary design space of regional-jet wing
    K Chiba; S Jeong; S Obayashi; H Morino
    The Data Mining technique is an important facet of solving multi-objective optimization problem. Because it is one of the effective manner to discover the design knowledge in the multi-objective optimization problem which obtains large data. In the present study, two Data Mining techniques have been performed for a large-scale, real-world Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) to provide knowledge regarding the design space. The MDO among aerodynamics, structures, and aeroelasticity of the regional-jet wing was carried out using high-fidelity evaluation models on Adaptive Range Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm. As a result, nine non-dominated solutions were generated and used for tradeoff analysis among three objectives. All solutions evaluated during the evolution were analyzed for the influence of design variables using a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and a functional Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to extract key features of the design space. SOM and ANOVA compensated with the respective disadvantages, then the design knowledge could be obtained more clearly by the combination between them. Although the MDO results showed the inverted gull-wings as non-dominated solutions, one of the key features found by Data Mining was the non-gull wing geometry. When this knowledge was applied to one optimum solution, the resulting design was found to have better performance compared with the original geometry designed in the conventional manner., IEEE, 2005, 2005 IEEE CONGRESS ON EVOLUTIONARY COMPUTATION, VOLS 1-3, PROCEEDINGS, 3, 2333-2340, English, WOS:000232173100310
  • Evolutionary Design Optimization of Wing Shape for RLV Booster Stage Using Unstructured Navier-Stokes Computation
    CHIBA Kazuhisa; OBAYASHI Shigeru; NAKAHASHI Kazuhiro
    The wing shape of booster stage for Two-Stage-To-Orbit Reusable Launch Vehicle is optimized in consideration of supersonic region, transonic cruise and subsonic landing. Navier-Stokes computation is used for aerodynamic evaluation because transonic cruise and subsonic landing have flow condition that vorticity dominants. ARMOGA is used for aerodynamic optimization problem with four objective functions because it is expected that tradeoff can be obtained using low individual numbers. The results show the relationship of each objective functions., The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers, 30 Oct. 2003, 設計工学・システム部門講演会講演論文集, 2003, 13, 303-304, Japanese, 1348-0286, 110002481434, AA11901475
