Abstract:

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The design of steel structures needs to incorporate some optimisation procedure that evolves the initial design into a more economic nal design, where this nal design must still satisfy all the initial design criteria. A candidate optimisation technique suggested by this research is the genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm (GA) is an optimisation technique that was inspired by evolutionary principles, such as the survival of the ttest (also known as natural selection). The GA operates by generating a population of

Abstract:

Wind turbines become more cost effective as they grow larger; however the blade mass increases at a greater rate than the power. For a continued size increase, reducing the mass of the blades is necessary. Additionally, lighter blades lower overall turbine costs because the loads on the rest of the structure are decreased. Therefore, the use of lightweight blades can have a significant impact on the cost of wind energy. To achieve blade mass reductions, an alternative structural layout is generated using topology optimisation. The result is a topology which varies along the blade length, trans

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation addresses a number of topics that arise from the use of a dual method of sequential approximate optimisation (SAO) to solve structural optimisation problems. Said approach is widely used because it allows relatively large problems to be solved efficiently by minimising the number of expensive structural analyses required. Some extensions to traditional implementations are suggested that can serve to increase the efficacy of such algorithms. The work presented herein is concerned primarily with three topics

Abstract:

There has been a growing interest in using discontinuous carbon fibre composites for semi-structural applications within the automotive industry. The main advantages of discontinuous fibres are low material costs, low wastage and low touch labour compared with processes using carbon fibre textiles. Directed Carbon Fibre Preforming (DCFP) is an automated process for producing complex 3D preforms for liquid moulding. DCFP offers the potential for producing highly optimised structures, with local control over tow size, fibre length and volume fraction within the component. The execution of this i

Starting from a comparison among primary and secondary ammonium ILs, the unusual liquid nanostructure of pyrrolidinium ILs explains its versatile solvent properties.

The deployment of engineering models and design methods divorced from the effect that mechanised shield tunnelling with tunnel boring machines (TBMs) has on concrete segmental linings (CSLs) can lead to either material waste or structural damage within the tunnel design life.

Structural topology optimisation aims to provide solutions that are independent of the initial layout, allowing the greatest opportunity to find the best design.

The direct level set based structural topology optimisation method has been successful in solving a range of problems. However, it does suffer from some drawbacks and limitations.

Aircraft design is an inherently multi-disciplinary decision making process. In many design processes, the vehicle configuration is selected based on aerodynamic considerations in the concept design stage, before the structural layout is considered during preliminary design. Selection of the best vehicle configuration relies on an estimate of weight to determine the required lift of the aircraft. Structural topology optimisation is an efficient method for automatically generating a structural design layout that fits within a given design space and meets a given set of design criteria.

Conceptual aircraft structural design concerns the generation of an airframe that will provide sufficient strength under the loads encountered during the operation of the aircraft. In providing such strength, the airframe greatly contributes to the mass of the vehicle, where an excessively heavy design can penalise the performance and cost of the aircraft. Structural mass optimisation aims to minimise the airframe weight whilst maintaining adequate resistance to load.

Abstract:

L’objectif de ce travail de thèse est de pouvoir intégrer totalement l’optimisation de forme des raidisseurs de capot dans un processus de conception industrielle et cela afin d’optimiser la forme et la distribution des raidisseurs dans un contexte multi-objectif (voire multi-disciplinaire) d’une structure 3D surfacique. Pour ce faire, nous avons tout d’abord établi un aperçu de l’état de l’art dans l’optimisation de forme des structures en classifiant les différentes méthodes de paramétrage de forme, en trois catégories ; les méthodes basées sur la géométrie (telle la paramétrisation d’un mod

Thesis (MScEng (Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The development of light and sti aerospace structural panels is very important in the aerospace industry, e.g. a lighter satellite requires less fuel to launch it into space which in turn saves money for the owner of the satellite. This thesis describes the design, optimisation, manufacturing and testing of a ribbed light alloy core - carbon bre face sheets, sandwich-type, satellite panel operating at launch loading conditions (115 m/s2 accelerations and requiring a minimum s
