A level set method in shape and topology optimization for variational inequalities

Piotr Fulmański, Antoine Laurain, Jean-Francois Scheid, Jan Sokołowski (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The level set method is used for shape optimization of the energy functional for the Signorini problem. The boundary variations technique is used in order to derive the shape gradients of the energy functional. The conical differentiability of solutions with respect to the boundary variations is exploited. The topology modifications during the optimization process are identified by means of an asymptotic analysis. The topological derivatives of the energy shape functional are employed...

Numerical minimization of eigenmodes of a membrane with respect to the domain

Édouard Oudet (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we introduce a numerical approach adapted to the minimization of the eigenmodes of a membrane with respect to the domain. This method is based on the combination of the Level Set method of S. Osher and J.A. Sethian with the relaxed approach. This algorithm enables both changing the topology and working on a fixed regular grid.

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...

Uniform stabilization of a viscous numerical approximation for a locally damped wave equation

Arnaud Münch, Ademir Fernando Pazoto (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This work is devoted to the analysis of a viscous finite-difference space semi-discretization of a locally damped wave equation in a regular 2-D domain. The damping term is supported in a suitable subset of the domain, so that the energy of solutions of the damped continuous wave equation decays exponentially to zero as time goes to infinity. Using discrete multiplier techniques, we prove that adding a suitable vanishing numerical viscosity term leads to a uniform (with respect to the...

Numerical algorithms for perspective shape from shading

Michael Breuss, Emiliano Cristiani, Jean-Denis Durou, Maurizio Falcone, Oliver Vogel (2010)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

The Shape-From-Shading (SFS) problem is a fundamental and classic problem in computer vision. It amounts to compute the 3-D depth of objects in a single given 2-D image. This is done by exploiting information about the illumination and the image brightness. We deal with a recent model for Perspective SFS (PSFS) for Lambertian surfaces. It is defined by a Hamilton–Jacobi equation and complemented by state constraints boundary conditions. In this paper we investigate and compare three...
