    Description

    Special Notice ENERGY, DEPARTMENT OF TECHNOLOGY/BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY Component-wise Reduced Order Model-based Lattice Design: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is offering the opportunity to license its component-wise reduced order model-based lattice design. This design aims to achieve 3D microstructures with high stiffness and light weight, which is important for LLNL's advanced materials and manufacturing capabilities. The current state-of-the-art approaches for designing these microstructures are either expensive and restrictive or cheap and inaccurate. LLNL's invention uses accurate Component-wise Reduced Order Models (CWROM) instead of inaccurate beam elements, making the process computationally efficient and fast. The CWROM-based design algorithm and uncertainty quantification techniques are expected to be implemented in LLNL codes such as MFEM, LiDO, and libROM. This technology has potential applications in efficient lattice design optimization, fuel consumption reduction in aerospace and automotive industries, smart honeycomb structure design for protection equipment, and safety design for shoes or helmets. LLNL is seeking industry partners to bring this technology to the market. Interested companies should provide a statement of interest including company information, relevant expertise, and facilities.
