Analysis of optimality conditions for some topology optimization problems in elasticity
Luis Trabucho (2002)
International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science
The subject of topology optimization has undergone an enormous practical development since the appearance of the paper by Bendso e and Kikuchi (1988), where some ideas from homogenization theory were put into practice. Since then, several engineering applications as well as different approaches have been developed successfully. However, it is difficult to find in the literature some analytical examples that might be used as a test in order to assess the validity of the solutions obtained with different...
Bilevel Approach of a Decomposed Topology Optimization Problem
A. Makrizi, B. Radi (2010)
Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena
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 posed...
Design-dependent loads in topology optimization
Blaise Bourdin, Antonin Chambolle (2003)
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations
We present, analyze, and implement a new method for the design of the stiffest structure subject to a pressure load or a given field of internal forces. Our structure is represented as a subset of a reference domain, and the complement of is made of two other “phases”, the “void” and a fictitious “liquid” that exerts a pressure force on its interface with the solid structure. The problem we consider is to minimize the compliance of the structure , which is the total work of the pressure and...

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
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 jump...

Removing holes in topological shape optimization
Maatoug Hassine, Philippe Guillaume (2008)
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations
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 numerical examples...

Selfadjoint Extensions for the Elasticity System in Shape Optimization
Serguei A. Nazarov, Jan Sokołowski (2004)
Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics
Two approaches are proposed to modelling of topological variations in elastic solids. The first approach is based on the theory of selfadjoint extensions of differential operators. In the second approach function spaces with separated asymptotics and point asymptotic conditions are introduced, and a variational formulation is established. For both approaches, accuracy estimates are derived.
Shape and topological sensitivity analysis in domains with cracks
Alexander Khludnev, Jan Sokołowski, Katarzyna Szulc (2010)
Applications of Mathematics
The framework for shape and topology sensitivity analysis in geometrical domains with cracks is established for elastic bodies in two spatial dimensions. The equilibrium problem for the elastic body with cracks is considered. Inequality type boundary conditions are prescribed at the crack faces providing a non-penetration between the crack faces. Modelling of such problems in two spatial dimensions is presented with all necessary details for further applications in shape optimization in structural...
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 piezoelectric sensors or actuators for the control of plates
Emmanuel Degryse, Stéphane Mottelet (2005)
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations
This paper deals with a new method to control flexible structures by designing non-collocated sensors and actuators satisfying a pseudo-collocation criterion in the low-frequency domain. This technique is applied to a simply supported plate with a point force actuator and a piezoelectric sensor, for which we give some theoretical and numerical results. We also compute low-order controllers which stabilize pseudo-collocated systems and the closed-loop behavior show that this approach is very promising....

The extended adjoint method
Stanislas Larnier, Mohamed Masmoudi (2013)
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique
Searching for the optimal partitioning of a domain leads to the use of the adjoint method in topological asymptotic expansions to know the influence of a domain perturbation on a cost function. Our approach works by restricting to local subproblems containing the perturbation and outperforms the adjoint method by providing approximations of higher order. It is a universal tool, easily adapted to different kinds of real problems and does not need the fundamental solution of the problem; furthermore...

The topological asymptotic expansion for the Quasi-Stokes problem
Maatoug Hassine, Mohamed Masmoudi (2004)
ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations
In this paper, we propose a topological sensitivity analysis for the Quasi-Stokes equations. It consists in an asymptotic expansion of a cost function with respect to the creation of a small hole in the domain. The leading term of this expansion is related to the principal part of the operator. The theoretical part of this work is discussed in both two and three dimensional cases. In the numerical part, we use this approach to optimize the locations of a fixed number of air injectors in an eutrophized...
