Additive manufacturing: Toward holistic design

Scripta Materialia

Jared, Bradley H.; Valentin, Miguel A.; Beghini, Lauren L.; Boyce, Brad L.; Clark, Brett W.; Cook, Adam W.; Kaehr, Bryan; Robbins, Joshua

Additive manufacturing offers unprecedented opportunities to design complex structures optimized for performance envelopes inaccessible under conventional manufacturing constraints. Additive processes also promote realization of engineered materials with microstructures and properties that are impossible via traditional synthesis techniques. Enthused by these capabilities, optimization design tools have experienced a recent revival. The current capabilities of additive processes and optimization tools are summarized briefly, while an emerging opportunity is discussed to achieve a holistic design paradigm whereby computational tools are integrated with stochastic process and material awareness to enable the concurrent optimization of design topologies, material constructs and fabrication processes.

Optimality conditions for the numerical solution of optimization problems with PDE constraints: Theoretical framework and applications to parameter identification and optimal control problems

Valentin, Miguel A.; Ridzal, Denis

A theoretical framework for the numerical solution of partial differential equation (PDE) constrained optimization problems is presented in this report. This theoretical framework embodies the fundamental infrastructure required to efficiently implement and solve this class of problems. Detail derivations of the optimality conditions required to accurately solve several parameter identification and optimal control problems are also provided in this report. This will allow the reader to further understand how the theoretical abstraction presented in this report translates to the application.

Numerical study of a matrix-free trust-region SQP method for equality constrained optimization

Ridzal, Denis; Valentin, Miguel A.

This is a companion publication to the paper 'A Matrix-Free Trust-Region SQP Algorithm for Equality Constrained Optimization' in which we develop and analyze a trust-region sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method that supports the matrix-free (iterative, in-exact) solution of linear systems. In this report, we document the numerical behavior of the algorithm applied to a variety of equality constrained optimization problems, with constraints given by partial differential equations (PDEs).
