Effects of sensitivity analysis on aerodynamic design optimization

1995-12-01
The effects of sensitivities on the performance of aerodynamic design optimization were evaluated. Sensitivities were obtained by both analytical and finite-difference approaches. A direct differentiation method was developed to analytically obtain sensitivities for the two-dimensional Euler equations using the material derivative concept of continuum mechanics. Several inverse design optimizations were performed to evaluate the merits of the analytical approach in comparison with the finite-difference approach. The results show that the analytical approach provides accurate sensitivities consistently, improves the convergence of the design cycle, and hence reduces the design cost.

Inverse design of compressor cascades on parallel computers
Özhamam, M.; Eyi, Sinan (2002-01-01)
In this paper, the performance improvements of an inverse compressor cascade design are investigated. A Navier-Stokes code is used for flow analysis. A least-square optimization method is used to minimize pressure discrepancies between initial and target cascades. In optimization process, most of the CPU time is associated with the sensitivity analyses. Sensitivities are evaluated on parallel computers by using a finite difference approach. Results show that, analyzing sensitivities on parallel computers re...

Design of lap-spliced bars: Is simplification possible?
Canbay, Erdem (2006-05-01)
While the estimation accuracy of the strength of lap splices has been improving, the complexity of design for reinforcement development has progressively increased. This research study investigates the development of a simple and reliable design expression. Equations on development and splices of reinforcement in ACI 318-05 along with other design proposals are critically assessed in light of 203 unconfined and 278 confined beam tests where the splice region was subjected to constant moment. A simple design...
