Our AePW-4 paper is on @arxiv: "Structure-preserving reduced-order models of thin panels in supersonic and hypersonic flow."
RC-19 panel: within 1.0% of the measured 236 Hz.
HyMAX plate: 65 ms running free, within 3.67%.
Watch a shipboard equipment frame shed 46% of its material over 199 design steps and come out meeting the @USNavy shock & vibration requirement from every direction.
Design results; testing on production hardware comes next.

If you design or certify shipboard equipment, what slows you down today?
#NavalEngineering
More material does not always help shipboard equipment survive shock.
On an equipment frame, the solid baseline was 30% over the stress limit. Our design software removed 46% of the material, and the optimized frame meets the requirement for shock from every direction.
The @USNavy requires equipment to survive the shock of an underwater explosion, and that check usually comes after a design is finished.
We built it into the design itself, so the requirement shapes the part from the first step.
Honored to be featured by @SandiaLabs. @morphorm grew out of @SandiaLabs and we're now bringing that technology to industry, starting with defense and semiconductor applications. Trial release coming soon!

Topology optimization is bottle-necked by costly #FEM solves at every iteration. Our new preprint tackles this with a trust-region method + self-correcting POD #SurrogateModels - big speedups on cannonical benchmarks, with no loss in design quality. π§΅π
