1. Cost Optimization of Aircraft Structures
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

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

3. Cost Propagation - Numerical Propagation for Optimization Problems
Abstract : In this thesis, we investigate Cost Propagation,an approach to numerical propagation for optimization problems, where we combine ideas from both Constraint Programming and Combinatorial Optimization. We consider discrete optimization problems with binary variables that can be expressed in the model max_x sum_k g_k(x^k)where the terms g_k(x^k) are distinct arbitrary functions over subsets x^k of x.

4. Cost/Weight Optimization of Aircraft Structures
Abstract : Composite structures can lower the weight of an airliner significantly. The increased production cost, however, requires the application of cost-effective design strategies. Hence, a comparative value is required which is used for the evaluation of a design solution in terms of cost and weight. READ MORE

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