  2. 1. Simultaneous Topology and Material Optimization of Composite Structures under Uncertainty

    Author : Dženan Hozić; Carl-Johan Thore; François-Xavier Irisarri; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Optimization; Composite Structures; Topology Optimization; Multi-material Optimization; Material Uncertainty; Robust Optimization; Composite Structure Optimization; Design Optimization; Composite Material;

    Abstract : Composite materials are known to have superior stiffness and strength properties per unit weight compared to metallic materials. These properties and the ability to tailor the mechanical properties of composites is the main motivation for choosing composite materials for structural components. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cost Optimization of Aircraft Structures

    Author : Markus Kaufmann; Dan Zenkert; Malin Åkermo; Per Wennhage; Erik Lund; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aircraft structures; optimization; cost estimation; manufacturing cost; direct operating cost; multiobjective optimization; multidisciplinary optimization; composites; airframe design; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : Composite structures can lower the weight of an airliner significantly. Due to the higher process complexity and the high material cost, however, the low weight often comes with a significant increase in production cost. The application of cost-effective design strategies is one mean to meet this challenge. READ MORE

  5. 3. Composition and Optimization

    Author : Morgan Ericsson; Uwe Assmann; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; software composition; software reuse; optimization; high-performance computing; Datavetenskap; Computer and Information Sciences Computer Science; Data- och informationsvetenskap;

    Abstract : A recent trend in software engineering is to delay design decisions. One motivation is that requirements or properties of the application and environment are not known until later in the design and development process. This continues to hold for design decisions in a high-performance context where e.g. READ MORE

  6. 4. Utilization of a GSHP System in a DHC Network : modeling and optimization

    Author : Anjan Rao Puttige; Thomas Olofsson; Ronny Östin; Staffan Andersson; Javed Saqib; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ground source heat pump; district heating and cooling; optimization; borehole heat exchanger; artificial neural network; hybrid model; field measurements; calibration; heat pumps; prosumer;

    Abstract : The ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) of customers connected to the district heating and cooling (DHC) network can benefit both the customer and the energy company. However, operating the GSHP to minimize the cost of providing heating and cooling to the customer while ensuring the long-term stability of the ground temperature is a challenge. READ MORE

  7. 5. Multicriteria optimization for managing tradeoffs in radiation therapy treatment planning

    Author : Rasmus Bokrantz; Anders Forsgren; Karl-Heinz Küfer; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Optimization; multicriteria optimization; robust optimization; Pareto optimality; Pareto surface approximation; Pareto surface navigation; intensity-modulated radiation therapy; volumetric-modulated arc therapy; intensity-modulated proton therapy; Optimering; flermålsoptimering; robust optimering; Paretooptimalitet; Paretofrontsapproximation; Paretofrontsnavigering; intensitetsmodulerad strålterapi; rotationsterapi; intensitetsmodulerad protonterapi;

    Abstract : Treatment planning for radiation therapy inherently involves tradeoffs, such as between tumor control and normal tissue sparing, between time-efficiency and dose quality, and between nominal plan quality and robustness. The purpose of this thesis is to develop methods that can facilitate decision making related to such tradeoffs. READ MORE
