This work aims at investigating the deformation mechanism, developing the constitutive model especially for the cyclic-loading behavior, and proposing an efficient approach for model calibration. Firstly, the deformation mechanism was successfully explored by conducting a...
This paper shares and contributes to a ground-breaking vision developed and being implemented which consists in the integration of materials modelling methodologies and knowledge-based systems with business process for
decision making.
In this paper a small Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) plant was tested under different operating conditions and by using refrigerants (R245fa) as working fluids. An in-house code (MatLab/Scilab based) using CoolProp library for the accurate evaluation of fluid properties, was optimized...
This paper presents the roadmap for the development of the new wingtip for the EMBRAER 175 aircraft, and how MultiDisciplinary Optimization (MDO) was applied on its definition and design.

CHALLENGE - The importance of Dynamic Positioning (DP) is growing because of the increase in the number of offshore construction sites requiring DP for their operations. Due to the high complexity of the calculation process, a few institutions are able to estimate the station-keeping...
Structural engineers and computational architects at Takenaka Corporation Technical Research Institute applied optimization-driven design approach to perfect a 3D model of a steel pavilion-like office building with the aim of maximizing the connections between rooms, expanding office...
CHALLENGE - The goal of computational design workflow is to improve design performances by enabling exploration of a larger amount of design iterations in the early design phase. The computational design workflow uses generative design processes in conjunction with building performance...
CHALLENGE - A traditional Trombe wall is known as a high thermal-mass wall, situated behind a window of a room and separated by an air cavity. The idea behind using a Trombe wall is that heat, ventilation and comfort can be passively generated by using the ‘free’ energy of the sun. ...
CHALLENGE - The Computational Aircraft Prototype Syntheses (CAPS) enables vehicle designers to create multi-disciplinary, multi-fidelity analysis models from a single, parametric geometric source. These capabilities are natively accessed programmatically through an interface written in...
