PROBLEM AND SOLUTIONUsing constrained multi-optimization in design of composite for filament

wound high pressure vessels


� DESIGN OF COMPOSITE

� Improve end user`s capacity to satisfy the principal ISO 11 439 standard

� The need for new material

� Better and faster design

� Parallel multi optimization algorithm adjusted for HPC

� Improvement and acceleration of the process of designing a composite

using optimization and parallel computing

Experiment partners:

HPC Provider and Host Centre: ARCTUR

HPC Expert: XLAB

PROBLEM AND SOLUTION


� Adaptive algorithm for different objective functions and constraints;

� Accelerate the determination of design characteristics and decreasing the

overall design time;

� Mathematical model for designing a composite for high pressure vessels,

that can be adopted on other forms.

Constrained multi-optimization algorithm for composite design:

� HPC, supercomputing, the cloud-way of doing things, self-service, etc.,

were not the paradigms used in MIKROSAM;

� Reduction of the usual time to design a composite for about 30%

� One initial guess for the final optimized material properties;

� Replicability of experiments, easier designing (no more “technical”

but rather scientific solution), low CAPEX thinking.

HOW I4MS HELPED

Improvements in the industrial process:


� Decrease the design and testing costs by 10%

� Using base of materials in order to obtain best

combination for the test.

� Decrease the labor cost by 20%

� Using the HPC for performing complex computations

and multi-objective optimization.

HOW I4MS HELPED

Business benefits:


� HPC, supercomputing, the cloud-way of doing things, self-service, etc., were not

the paradigms used in MIKROSAM;

� Change/shift in mentality – use of self-service model to solve our everyday

problems;

� The “cloud-way” of thinking, even in HPC related problems;

� Clear business results:

� Lower labor costs ~ 20%

� Lower material costs ~ 10%

� Better product design

� Improved branding of the company – 10% to 20% depending on the

previous experience.

� Replicability of experiment, easier designing (no more “technical” but rather

scientific solution), low CAPEX thinking

� The design of the composite is added as a feature with other software solution

MIKROSAM offers

� Testing new filament winding machines using optimization for the design

� First successful usage of HPC resources. We will with do the same for other

complex time-consuming calculations resulting in further collaborations.

� Combine other already tested software's for calculating composite

properties with the multi-optimization software developed during the

experiment
