Abstract
This paper documents the numerical parameter optimization techniques used to determine an optimum weight for a thermal protection system. Subject to temperature constraints imposed at various locations in the system, the most impressive optimization technique was an adaptive creep search followed by a pattern search. The thermodynamic problem was solved using an implicit method for reasons of numerical stability and computational speed. Numerical optimization techniques were shown to be beneficial in the design of a thermal protection system. Numerical results were obtained showing the effects of temperature constraints, materials, and material arrangement on the weight of a thermal protection system.
