Topological asymptotic analysis of the Kirchhoff plate bending problem

Samuel Amstutz, Antonio A. Novotny (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The topological asymptotic analysis provides the sensitivity of a given shape functional with respect to an infinitesimal domain perturbation, like the insertion of holes, inclusions, cracks. In this work we present the calculation of the topological derivative for a class of shape functionals associated to the Kirchhoff plate bending problem, when a circular inclusion is introduced at an arbitrary point of the domain. According to the literature, the topological derivative has been...

Removing holes in topological shape optimization

Philippe Guillaume, Maatoug Hassine (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The gradient based topological optimization tools introduced during the last ten years tend naturally to modify the topology of a domain by creating small holes inside the domain. Once these holes have been created, they usually remain unchanged, at least during the topological phase of the optimization algorithm. In this paper, a new asymptotic expansion is introduced which allows to decide whether an existing hole must be removed or not for improving the cost function. Then, two...
