Simulation and design of extraction and separation fluidic devices

Bijan Mohammadi, Juan G. Santiago (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

We present the combination of a state control and shape design approaches for the optimization of micro-fluidic channels used for sample extraction and separation of chemical species existing in a buffer solution. The aim is to improve the extraction and identification capacities of electroosmotic micro-fluidic devices by avoiding dispersion of the extracted advected band.

Shape and topology optimization of the robust compliance via the level set method

François Jouve, Grégoire Allaire, Frédéric de Gournay (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The goal of this paper is to study the so-called worst-case or robust optimal design problem for minimal compliance. In the context of linear elasticity we seek an optimal shape which minimizes the largest, or worst, compliance when the loads are subject to some unknown perturbations. We first prove that, for a fixed shape, there exists indeed a worst perturbation (possibly non unique) that we characterize as the maximizer of a nonlinear energy. We also propose a stable algorithm to...

Multi-phase structural optimization via a level set method

Similarity:

We consider the optimal distribution of several elastic materials in a fixed working domain. In order to optimize both the geometry and topology of the mixture we rely on the level set method for the description of the interfaces between the different phases. We discuss various approaches, based on Hadamard method of boundary variations, for computing shape derivatives which are the key ingredients for a steepest descent algorithm. The shape gradient obtained for a sharp interface involves...

Boundary control and shape optimization for the robust design of bypass anastomoses under uncertainty

Toni Lassila, Andrea Manzoni, Alfio Quarteroni, Gianluigi Rozza (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

We review the optimal design of an arterial bypass graft following either a (i) boundary optimal control approach, or a (ii) shape optimization formulation. The main focus is quantifying and treating the uncertainty in the residual flow when the hosting artery is not completely occluded, for which the worst-case in terms of recirculation effects is inferred to correspond to a strong orifice flow through near-complete occlusion.A worst-case optimal control approach is applied to the steady...

Shape optimization of piezoelectric sensors or actuators for the control of plates

Emmanuel Degryse, Stéphane Mottelet (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper deals with a new method to control flexible structures by designing non-collocated sensors and actuators satisfying a pseudo-collocation criterion in the low-frequency domain. This technique is applied to a simply supported plate with a point force actuator and a piezoelectric sensor, for which we give some theoretical and numerical results. We also compute low-order controllers which stabilize pseudo-collocated systems and the closed-loop behavior show that this approach...
