Concurrent Optimization of Large Structures. II: Applications
Publication: Journal of Aerospace Engineering
Volume 5, Issue 1
Abstract
In a companion paper, we presented algorithms and procedures for concurrent optimization of framed structures on shared‐memory multiprocessor computers. Implementation of the algorithms and applications are presented in this paper. The efficiency and versatility of the algorithms are assessed by presenting four examples. Speed‐ups and work‐load‐balance issues at various steps of the optimization process are considered and discussed. The efficiency of the parallel‐processing algorithms increases with the size of the structure, thus making them particularly suitable for optimization of large structures such as space stations.
