Numerical Shape Optimization as an Approach to Extrusion Die Design

Profile extrusion is a manufacturing process used for continuous plastics profiles with a fixed cross section. The key challenge in the development of profile extrusion dies is to design the transition region between outflow and inflow of the die in such a way, that the material velocity at the outflow is homogeneous. At the current state of the art, die design is experience based and time-cons...

A numerical optimization approach to acoustic hull array design.

A numerical optimization approach is presented to optimize passive broadband detection performance of hull arrays through the adjustment of array shading weights. The approach is developed for general hull arrays in low signal-to-noise ratio scenarios, and is shown to converge rapidly to optimal solutions that maximize the array's deflection coefficient. The beamformer is not redesigned in this...

Beamspace Transformation Matrix Design Using Numerical Optimization

This paper addresses the problem of designing a data-dimension reducing transformation matrix, to be used for beamspace direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation. The design of the transformation matrix is based on numerical optimization techniques. The criteria to be satissed is to retain as much as possible of the achievable, optimal estimation accuracy using the non-reduced data-sizes, while als...

Design space optimization using a numerical design continuation method

A generalized optimization problem in which design space is also a design to be found is de9ned and a numerical implementation method is proposed. In conventional optimization, only a portion of structural parameters is designated as design variables while the remaining set of other parameters related to the design space are often taken for granted. A design space is speci9ed by the number of d...
