Shape and topology optimization of the robust compliance via the level set method

François Jouve, Grégoire Allaire, Frédéric de Gournay (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The goal of this paper is to study the so-called worst-case or robust optimal design problem for minimal compliance. In the context of linear elasticity we seek an optimal shape which minimizes the largest, or worst, compliance when the loads are subject to some unknown perturbations. We first prove that, for a fixed shape, there exists indeed a worst perturbation (possibly non unique) that we characterize as the maximizer of a nonlinear energy. We also propose a stable algorithm to compute it....

Shape optimization of an elasto-plastic body for the model with strain- hardening

Vladislav Pištora (1990)

Aplikace matematiky

The state problem of elasto-plasticity (for the model with strain-hardening) is formulated in terms of stresses and hardening parameters by means of a time-dependent variational inequality. The optimal design problem is to find the shape of a part of the boundary such that a given cost functional is minimized. For the approximate solutions piecewise linear approximations of the unknown boundary, piecewise constant triangular elements for the stress and the hardening parameter, and backward differences...

Shape optimization of elasto-plastic axisymmetric bodies

Ivan Hlaváček (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

A minimization of a cost functional with respect to a part of a boundary is considered for an elasto-plastic axisymmetric body obeying Hencky's law. The principle of Haar-Kármán and piecewise linear stress approximations are used to solve the state problem. A convergence result and the existence of an optimal boundary is proved.

Shape optimization of elasto-plastic bodies

Zuzana Dimitrovová (2001)

Applications of Mathematics

Existence of an optimal shape of a deformable body made from a physically nonlinear material obeying a specific nonlinear generalized Hooke’s law (in fact, the so called deformation theory of plasticity is invoked in this case) is proved. Approximation of the problem by finite elements is also discussed.

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

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.

Sulla nozione di stato per materiali viscoelastici di tipo «rate»

Dario Graffi, Mauro Fabrizio (1989)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Si considera un materiale viscoelastico lineare in cui la funzione di rilassamento è la somma di n esponenziali. Lo stato σ di questi sistemi non è necessariamente assegnato dalla storia passata di E , ma è sufficiente fornire il valore iniziale del tensore di deformazione E , del tensore degli sforzi T e delle ( n 1 ) sue derivate. Infine per questi materiali abbiamo ottenuto una espressione dell'energia libera come una funzione dello stato di dimensione finita σ .
