On the numerical solution of axisymmetric domain optimization problems

Ivan Hlaváček, Raino Mäkinen (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

An axisymmetric second order elliptic problem with mixed boundarz conditions is considered. A part of the boundary has to be found so as to minimize one of four types of cost functionals. The numerical realization is presented in detail. The convergence of piecewise linear approximations is proved. Several numerical examples are given.

Shape optimization of materially non-linear bodies in contact

Jaroslav Haslinger, Raino Mäkinen (1997)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

Optimal shape design problem for a deformable body in contact with a rigid foundation is studied. The body is made from material obeying a nonlinear Hooke’s law. We study the existence of an optimal shape as well as its approximation with the finite element method. Practical realization with nonlinear programming is discussed. A numerical example is included.

Numerical analysis for optimal shape design in elliptic boundary value problems

Zdeněk Kestřánek (1988)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

Shape optimization problems are optimal design problems in which the shape of the boundary plays the role of a design, i.e. the unknown part of the problem. Such problems arise in structural mechanics, acoustics, electrostatics, fluid flow and other areas of engineering and applied science. The mathematical theory of such kind of problems has been developed during the last twelve years. Recently the theory has been extended to cover also situations in which the behaviour of the system...
