A phase-field model for compliance shape optimization in nonlinear elasticity

Patrick PenzlerMartin RumpfBenedikt Wirth — 2012

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Shape optimization of mechanical devices is investigated in the context of large, geometrically strongly nonlinear deformations and nonlinear hyperelastic constitutive laws. A weighted sum of the structure compliance, its weight, and its surface area are minimized. The resulting nonlinear elastic optimization problem differs significantly from classical shape optimization in linearized elasticity. Indeed, there exist different definitions for the compliance: the change in potential energy of the...

Numerical methods for fourth order nonlinear degenerate diffusion problems

Jürgen BeckerGünther GrünMartin LenzMartin Rumpf — 2002

Applications of Mathematics

Numerical schemes are presented for a class of fourth order diffusion problems. These problems arise in lubrication theory for thin films of viscous fluids on surfaces. The equations being in general fourth order degenerate parabolic, additional singular terms of second order may occur to model effects of gravity, molecular interactions or thermocapillarity. Furthermore, we incorporate nonlinear surface tension terms. Finally, in the case of a thin film flow driven by a surface active agent (surfactant),...
