The Arvedi Group turned to the University of Trieste to find a solution to the uneven material distribution inside the hopper of the blast furnace in Trieste, Italy. The Mechanical Engineering Department investigated the problem and used modeFRONTIER to optimize the design of a new...
The Expanded Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) for Effectiveness Based Design (EXPEDITE) program is an Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) program that seeks to address challenges in the modern aircraft design conceptual design process by expanding methodologies and...
This paper presents the methodology used to assess aerodynamic calculations of a launch vehicle and optimize aerostructures. The workflow integrates an automatic mesh procedure, pre-treatment calculations, CFD calculation and post-processing, all integrated into HADES optimization...
Within the content of this research, it is aimed to optimize rib spacing of a generic UAV wing to maximize its flutter speed. Therefore, magnitude of the wing’s torsional frequency value and ratio of the torsional frequency to the first body bending frequency value are aimed to be...
An integrated methodology for the parametric design and optimization, carried out in modeFRONTIER, of high-speed Ro-Ro Passenger vessels of both mono- and twin-hull configuration is presented. The hull form and internal layout are elaborated automatically in the NAPA® software...
This project focuses on the development of a tool that would help in optimizing the handling parameters of a vehicle. This is achieved by creating an optimization routine for tuning the various parameters of the Electronic Power Steering (EPAS). The tool is built by interfacing...
The new Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is used as a case study for this research. Schiphol Airport New Terminal is conceived to be a large space with a significant and engaging long span roof. This project was undertaken to propose a computational workflow and evaluate its...
The paper presents an approach for the efficiency optimization of large and customizable centrifugal industrial blowers for gas turbine air supply. The design variables investigated in this study were the blades quantity, orientation and shape. The proposed optimization method employed...
This paper deals with the estimate of uncertainties affecting still water hull girder loads of bulk and dry cargo ships. In strength assessment of ships, two main categories of acting loads are considered: still water loads and wave induced ones. Monte Carlo simulations are used to...
