Explorative structural design
The thesis proposes a new way of thinking about structural design software. The current state of computational structural design in practice is assessed, and a review of relevant literature and existing software identifies both the strengths of existing approaches and areas in which contributions …

Integrated aerodynamic-structural design optimization
… structures is having a profound effect on the design process. These materials permit the designer to tailor material properties to improve structural and aerodynamic performance. In order to obtain maximum benefits, a more integrated multidisciplinary design process is required. Furthermore, …

Structural Design Using Cellular Automata
Traditional parallel methods for structural design do not scale well. This thesis discusses the application of massively scalable cellular automata (CA) techniques to structural design. There are two sets of CA rules, one used to propagate stresses and strains, and one to perform design analysis. …

Structural design synthesis using machine learning
… may support creative, performance-informed design processes for early-stage building and structural design. Given the imperative to curb greenhouse gas emissions, designers have an increased responsibility to consider the environmental impact of their decisions early on in the design process …

Visualizing variable sensitivity in structural design
Computational tools allow designers to consider vast amounts of information when designing structures; however, without intuitive ways to visualize and model this data it is of little use in the creative process. In this thesis, the context for the use of computational design tools is established …

Structural design of shallow masonry domes
… has been established as the dominant structural form for residential and commercial usage in the developing world, with the flat two-way slab as the most common (almost universal in northern India) spanning solution for these designs. Over the same time period, local artisans in the …

Structural Design of a Business Jet Winglet
<p>Structural sizing of a winglet for the Falcon 10 was performed and is presented here. The aerodynamic profile of the winglet was taken from a previous study, which predicted an increase in range of 3.3% with an estimated weight increase of 52 kg. An investigation of the current structure layouts …

Structural design framework for online loyalty programmes
Research into the structural design of online loyalty programmes is conspicuous by its relative novelty. The trend has been to extend traditional offline loyalty programmes into this new environment even though considerable differences exist between the two domains. At the same time web start-up …

Case-Based Multiattribute Structural Design and Optimization
Since engineering design usually involves a lot of trade-off and decision making, it is a complicated and time consuming process. To augment engineer's creativity, a case-based multiattribute structural design and optimization methodology is developed in this study. This new methodology is aimed to …

Nonlinear structural design using multiscale topology optimization
… consists of three parts: a multiscale design framework for nonlinear elastostatic problems; extension to nonlinear elastodynamics; and an elastoplastic design methodology for transient dynamics. We systematically develop adjoint sensitivity analyses and incorporate them into …

Conceptual Phase Structural Design Tool for Microsatellites
Gaining traction or momentum in the conceptual design phase for a complex system can be an arduous and daunting process, whether the complex system being designed is a satellite, airplane, car, or one of countless other systems. The design of small satellites is particularly affected by the …

Optimal structural design for maximum buckling load
Structural optimization was performed by either mathematical programming methods or optimality criteria methods. Both types of methods are based on iterative resizing of structures in the expectation that it will lead to the satisfaction of optimality conditions. Recent developments in methods for …

Structural design of shape-adaptive composite marine propellers
… A shape-adaptive propeller is one that is designed so that the blades deform with load changes in such a way that the propeller performance is enhanced in comparison to that of a conventional “rigid” propeller, e.g. the goal of shape-adaptability may be higher efficiency over a greater …
