Optimization

DNAD, a simple tool for automatic differentiation

Submitted by Wenbin Yu on

All,

I am writing to introduce DNAD, a Fortran module I wrote for automatic differentiation of analysis codes written in Fortran including those legacy codes written in Fortran 77. Although only implementation using Fortran 90/95 was carried out, it is straightward to translate it to a language you like such as c/c++.

DESIGN OF MOLECULES and IOSO OPTIMIZATION

Submitted by IOSOnier on

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that at the conference Inverse Problems, Design and Optimization Symposium (IPDO) that was held in João Pessoa, Brazil from 25-27 of August, 2010 the results of application of IOSO optimization software were presented for a new complex class of optimization problems: Design of Molecules.

Study on electroelastic field concentration around the electrode tip in multilayer ferroelectric actuators

Submitted by Xujun Zhao on

Distribution of electromechanical field near electrode tips is closely related to the reliability of ferroelectric multilayer actuators. In this paper, the deformation and stress concentrations around the electrode tip in two multilayer actuator designs, partially and fully cofired, are investigated by means of experimental measurement and numerical simulations. The digital speckle correlation method (DSCM) is used to measure the full displacement field near the electrode tip with the high spatial resolution.
