Artificial intelligence in optical lens design by Yow, Ai Ping, Wong, Damon, Zhang, Yueqian, Menke, Christoph, Wolleschensky, Ralf, Török, Peter

“…Starting-point design selection has always been the major hurdle for most optical design problem, and different designers might produce different final lens designs even if using the same initial specification. Lens designers typically choose designs from existing lens databases, analyse relevant lens structures, or explore patent literature and technical publications. …”

Behaviour and design of hot-rolled stainless steel channel section members by Li, Shuai

“…The obtained experimental and numerical data were then employed to assess the accuracy of the existing design rules for hot-rolled stainless steel channel section members, as given in the European code and American specification. The assessment results revealed that the current design codes result in conservative cross-section resistance predictions, but scattered member resistance predictions with both conservative and unsafe results, mainly owing to the lack of proper consideration of the pronounced material strain hardening and nonlinear material property of stainless steel in the design. …”
