  • Optimizing shared mooring and anchoring strength for floating offshore wind turbine arrays

    Creator:
    Devin, Michael C.
    Abstract:
    Energy from offshore wind could provide substantial power generation if further utilized. One area of significant research focus is in developing floating offshore wind devices, which would allow for wind energy to be gathered in deep water where driven monopile turbines are infeasible. However, floating offshore wind is not currently...

  • Machine learning in engineering : techniques to speed up numerical optimization

    Creator:
    Cerbone, G. (Giuseppe)
    Abstract:
    Many important application problems in engineering can be formalized as nonlinear optimization tasks. However, numerical methods for solving such problems are brittle and do not scale well. For example, these methods depend critically on choosing a good starting point from which to perform the optimization search. In high-dimensional spaces, numerical...

  • Aircraft wing optimization using B-spline models and panel methods

    Creator:
    Jackson, Danielle Monique
    Abstract:
    This research investigates shape optimization process, using b-spline models and panel methods, to achieve a high lift to drag ratio for an aerodynamic structure. This research is a proof of concept for further research in aerodynamic shape optimization. The coupled process, involving the design and optimization of a random shape,...
