1. Gradient-based optimization of non-linear structures and materials
Sammanfattning : Gradient-based optimization is a potent tool in many design processes today. It is particularly useful in industries where weight considerations are crucial, such as aerospace, but can also be exploited in for example civil engineering applications to reduce the material use and thereby the environmental impact.

2. Shape Optimization for Acoustic Wave Propagation Problems
Sammanfattning : Boundary shape optimization is a technique to search for an optimal shape by modifying the boundary of a device with a pre-specified topology. We consider boundary shape optimization of acoustic horns in loudspeakers and brass wind instruments. LÄS MER
3. Gradient-Based Distributed Model Predictive Control
Sammanfattning : The thesis covers different topics related to model predictive control (MPC) and particularly distributed model predictive control (DMPC). One topic of the thesis is gradient-based optimization algorithms for solving the optimization problem arising in DMPC in a distributed manner. LÄS MER
4. Topology optimization of antennas and waveguide transitions
Sammanfattning : This thesis introduces a topology optimization approach to design, from scratch, efficient microwave devices, such as antennas and waveguide transitions. The design of these devices is formulated as a general optimization problem that aims to build the whole layout of the device in order to extremize a chosen objective function. LÄS MER
5. Time-Domain Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering using FDTD and Gradient-based Minimization
Sammanfattning : The thesis addresses time-domain inverse electromagneticscattering for determining unknown characteristics of an objectfrom observations of the scattered .eld. Applications includenon-destructive characterization of media and optimization ofmaterial properties, for example the design of radar absorbingmaterials. LÄS MER
