Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for composite part design. One embodiment is a method of creating a library of sublaminates used in optimizing fiber orientations of a multi-layer composite part subdivided along its depth into panels that each comprise a fraction of the area of the composite part. The method includes creating sublaminates that each comprise consecutively stacked layers having a unique sequence of fiber orientations, checking the sublaminates for compliance with stacking sequence rules that constrain how fiber orientations are sequenced, and removing sublaminates that do not comply with the stacking sequence rules. The method further includes generating new sublaminates that each include an additional layer, by, for each of multiple fiber orientations: selecting a sublaminate that was not remove, and generating a new sublaminate by appending an additional layer having the fiber orientation to the selected sublaminate.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing potential corrosion for a vehicle. Potential corrosion surfaces for the vehicle are identified using a model for the vehicle. The corrosion risks are predicted for each of the potential corrosion surfaces. The corrosion risks predicted are aggregated into a group of aggregated corrosion risks for a group of functional design units for the vehicle. A corrosion risk assessment for the vehicle is generated to identify a corrosion risk in the vehicle from the group of aggregated corrosion risks, and to enable a change in the model to reduce the identified corrosion risk.

Abstract: A method of minimizing a cost function of a quantum computation is provided. The method comprises receiving input of an initial state of a quantum problem instance comprising a Hamiltonian with an associated cost function. The Hamiltonian is converted into a number of Pauli strings, which are used to form an operator pool. The Pauli strings in the operator pool are ranked according to how much they lower a value of the cost function with respect to the initial state. Pauli strings are iteratively added from the operator pool to a parameterized quantum circuit, in a manner to minimize circuit depth, until a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm converges to an approximate ground state wave function generated by the parameterized quantum circuit.

Abstract: A method of identifying surfaces within a discretized mesh model is provided. The method comprises identifying a number of faces in the mesh model and constructing an adjacency graph of connections between the faces. A value is assigned to each connection in the adjacency graph according to a metric of similarity between incident faces of the connection. Connections with a metric of similarity value that satisfies a prescribed policy of elimination are removed from the adjacency graph. From the remaining connections in the adjacency graph a number of strongly connected components in the mesh model are determined.

Abstract: Methods of determining corrosion of an object that occurs over a time period. The methods determine physical factors of the object and environmental factors that occur during the time period. Node points are determined on the object. At different times during the time period, the methods determine the corrosion of the object at the node points based on the physical factors and the environmental factors. A cumulative corrosion of the object is determined based on the corrosion determined at each of the node points at each of the times.

Abstract: A method for discovering optimal algorithms is provided. The method comprises defining a starting condition for a program defining a number of program targets, wherein the program targets map program user-specified inputs to expected outputs, defining a number of program objectives, and defining a number of program constraints. An iterative optimization problem is then initialized to solve for the resulting program. A determination is made if defined termination conditions have been met according to the program targets and optimization objectives. Responsive to the defined termination conditions not being met an update to the program is selected by addition or subtraction of operations, the updated program is evaluated according to the program targets, the number of program objectives are evaluated, and the optimization problem is re-iterated. Responsive to the defined termination conditions being met, the program is reassembled into an instruction set.

Abstract: Arranging computational sub-tasks in a hybrid-computing environment is provided. The method comprises receiving input of a number of nodes, wherein each node represents a computational sub-task, and wherein the nodes are grouped into different sets according to differing computing resources used by the nodes. A computational objective is also received as well as initial data inputs and desired final outputs. A directed graph network is generated comprising the nodes and directed edges connecting the nodes. An optimization problem is then solved to determine a best path through the directed graph network for deriving the desired final outputs from the initial data inputs according to the computational objective. The best path comprises a subset of nodes and directed edges within the directed graph network. The best path to achieve the computational objective and estimated computational resources required for the best path are output to a user.
