Kasper Sandal presents his work “Design optimization of jacket structures for mass production”. This work includes a model and method for very fast preliminary design of jackets. Results indicate that the method works well, and current research aims to improve the model.
Alexander Verbart presents his work “Sizing optimization of jacket structures under time-dependent stress constraints”. This work shows that gradient-based optimization can effectively produce optimized jacket designs in which the stress satisfies the allowable stress at every point and at all times. Currently, the computational costs limit the capabilities to relatively small problems. How to reduce the computational costs is the focus of our current research.
