Parallel Global Aircraft Configuration Design Space Exploration
– The preliminary design space exploration for large, interdisciplinary engineering problems is often a difficult and time-consuming task. General techniques are needed that efficiently and methodically search the design space. This work focuses on the use of parallel load balancing techniques integrated with a global optimizer to reduce the computational time of the design space exploration. T...
متن کاملRapid Mapping and Exploration of Configuration Space
We describe a GPU-based computational platform for sixdimensional configuration mapping, which is the description of the configuration space of rigid motions in terms of collision and contact constraints. The platform supports a wide range of computations in design and manufacturing, including three and six dimensional configuration space obstacle computations, Minkowski sums and differences, p...
متن کاملSpace Exploration via Proximity Search
We investigate what computational tasks can be performed on a point set in R, if we are only given black-box access to it via nearest-neighbor search. This is a reasonable assumption if the underlying point set is either provided implicitly, or it is stored in a data structure that can answer such queries. In particular, we show the following: (A) One can compute an approximate bi-criteria k-ce...
متن کاملMotion Synthesis through Randomized Exploration on Submanifolds of Configuration Space
Motion synthesis for humanoid robot behaviours is made difficult by the combination of task space, joint space and kinodynamic constraints that define realisability. Solving these problems by general purpose methods such as sampling based motion planning has involved significant computational complexity, and has also required specialised heuristics to handle constraints. In this paper we propos...
متن کاملDISCRETE SIZE AND DISCRETE-CONTINUOUS CONFIGURATION OPTIMIZATION METHODS FOR TRUSS STRUCTURES USING THE HARMONY SEARCH ALGORITHM
Many methods have been developed for structural size and configuration optimization in which cross-sectional areas are usually assumed to be continuous. In most practical structural engineering design problems, however, the design variables are discrete. This paper proposes two efficient structural optimization methods based on the harmony search (HS) heuristic algorithm that treat both discret...
