Topology optimization of quasistatic contact problems

Andrzej Myśliński (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper deals with the formulation of a necessary optimality condition for a topology optimization problem for an elastic contact problem with Tresca friction. In the paper a quasistatic contact model is considered, rather than a stationary one used in the literature. The functional approximating the normal contact stress is chosen as the shape functional. The aim of the topology optimization problem considered is to find the optimal material distribution inside a design domain occupied...

Bilevel Approach of a Decomposed Topology Optimization Problem

A. Makrizi, B. Radi (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

In topology optimization problems, we are often forced to deal with large-scale numerical problems, so that the domain decomposition method occurs naturally. Consider a typical topology optimization problem, the minimum compliance problem of a linear isotropic elastic continuum structure, in which the constraints are the partial differential equations of linear elasticity. We subdivide the partial differential equations into two subproblems...

Contact shape optimization based on the reciprocal variational formulation

Jaroslav Haslinger (1999)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The paper deals with a class of optimal shape design problems for elastic bodies unilaterally supported by a rigid foundation. Cost and constraint functionals defining the problem depend on contact stresses, i.e. their control is of primal interest. To this end, the so-called reciprocal variational formulation of contact problems making it possible to approximate directly the contact stresses is used. The existence and approximation results are established. The sensitivity analysis...

Hybrid level set phase field method for topology optimization of contact problems

Andrzej Myśliński, Konrad Koniarski (2015)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

The paper deals with the analysis and the numerical solution of the topology optimization of system governed by variational inequalities using the combined level set and phase field rather than the standard level set approach. The standard level set method allows to evolve a given sharp interface but is not able to generate holes unless the topological derivative is used. The phase field method indicates the position of the interface in a blurry way but is flexible in the holes generation....

Solution of 3D contact shape optimization problems with Coulomb friction based on TFETI

Alexandros Markopoulos, Petr Beremlijski, Oldřich Vlach, Marie Sadowská (2023)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The present paper deals with the numerical solution of 3D shape optimization problems in frictional contact mechanics. Mathematical modelling of the Coulomb friction problem leads to an implicit variational inequality which can be written as a fixed point problem. Furthermore, it is known that the discretized problem is uniquely solvable for small coefficients of friction. Since the considered problem is nonsmooth, we exploit the generalized Mordukhovich’s differential calculus to compute...
