abstract = "We consider minimizing the mass of the frame of an injection moulding machine as an
example of optimal sizing. The deformation of the frame is described by a generalized plane stress
state with an elasticity modulus scaled by the thickness. The resulting constrained nonlinear
optimization problem is solved by sequential quadratic programming (SQP), which requires gradients
of the objective and the constraints with respect to the design parameters. As long as the number of
design parameters is small, finite differences may be used. For several hundreds of varying
thickness parameters, we use the reverse mode of automatic differentiation (AD). AD works fine but
requires huge memory and disk capabilities and limits the use of iterative solvers for the governing
state equations. Therefore, we combine AD with the adjoint method to get a fast and flexible hybrid
gradient evaluation procedure. Numerical results show the potential of this approach and imply that
this method can also be used for finding an initial guess for a shape optimization.",
