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 S of a reference domain, and the complement of S 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 S , which is the total work of the pressure and...

Dewetting dynamics of anisotropic particles: A level set numerical approach

Siddharth Gavhale, Karel Švadlenka (2022)

Applications of Mathematics

We extend thresholding methods for numerical realization of mean curvature flow on obstacles to the anisotropic setting where interfacial energy depends on the orientation of the interface. This type of schemes treats the interface implicitly, which supports natural implementation of topology changes, such as merging and splitting, and makes the approach attractive for applications in material science. The main tool in the new scheme are convolution kernels developed in previous studies that approximate...

Div-curl Young measures and optimal design in any dimension.

Pablo Pedregal (2007)

Revista Matemática Complutense

We explicitly introduce and exploit div-curl Young measures to examine optimal design problems governed by a linear state law in divergence form. The cost is allowed to depend explicitly on the gradient of the state. By means of this family of measures, we can formulate a suitable relaxed version of the problem, and, in a subsequent step, put it in a similar form as the original optimal design problem with an appropriate set of designs and generalized state law. Many of the issues involved has been...
