Micro Burner Spray Triode Atomizer Controller Development

Not Available This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project is to develop a set of innovative and efficient optimization algorithms/tools for uni- and multi-objective design and placement optimization of passive and active elements of smart structures, primarily in a massively parallel environment. The objective functions to be minimized will include structural weight or cost function (including material and actuator/ sensor device costs) and/or distortion index (e.g., strain energy function or maximum displacement). The design variables include discrete and/or continuous cross-sectional areas/sizes of structural element and number, locations, and control gains of active elements, all of which may be simultaneously present. In Phase II, the optimization algorithms [of potentially superefficient Integral GLO/Local Optimization (IGLO)-type] and smart structural optimization methodologies will be fully developed and implemented into two prototype parallel computer programs, IGLOPACK (IGLO software PACKage) and PASOS (Parallel Adaptive Structural Optimization System), respectively
