  4. 2. Shape Optimization for Acoustic Wave Propagation Problems

    Author : Rajitha Udawalpola; Martin Berggren; Pekka Neittaanmäki; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; shape optimization; design optimization; acoustic wave propagation; Helmholtz equation; Boundary Element Method; Finite Element Method; inverse problems; adjoint method; gradient-based optimization; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : Boundary shape optimization is a technique to search for an optimal shape by modifying the boundary of a device with a pre-specified topology. We consider boundary shape optimization of acoustic horns in loudspeakers and brass wind instruments. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. MIND : Optimization method for industrial energy systems

    Author : Katarina Nilsson; Mats Söderström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; OPTIMIZATION; LIFE CYCLE COST; INDUSTRIAL; NONLINEAR; ENERGY;

    Abstract : The MIND optimization method is a tool for life cycle cost minimization of a flexible range of industrial energy systems. It can be used in analyses of energy systems in response to changes within the system, changes of the boundary conditions and synthesis of energy systems. READ MORE
