Multi-phase structural optimization via a level set method

G. Allaire, C. Dapogny, G. Delgado, G. Michailidis (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

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...

Simulation and design of extraction and separation fluidic devices

Bijan Mohammadi, Juan G. Santiago (2001)

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

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.

On the ersatz material approximation in level-set methods

Marc Dambrine, Djalil Kateb (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The level set method has become widely used in shape optimization where it allows a popular implementation of the steepest descent method. Once coupled with a ersatz material approximation [Allaire , (2004) 363–393], a single mesh is only used leading to very efficient and cheap numerical schemes in optimization of structures. However, it has some limitations and cannot be applied in every situation. This work aims at exploring such a limitation. We estimate the systematic...
