A heuristic for including black box analysis tools into a geometric programming formulation
… by utilizing sequential geometric programming (SGP). We demonstrate a heuristic SGP method and apply it to a solar powered aircraft using a black boxed GP compatible profile drag function. Using this heuristic algorithm, we achieve less than a 1% difference in the objective function between a …

Strain gradient plasticity-based modeling of damage and fracture
… phenomenological strain gradient plasticity (SGP) formulations have been developed to extend plasticity theory to small scales. Grounded on the physical notion of geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs, associated with non-uniform plastic deformation), SGP theories relate the plastic work …
