A Parametric Study: Frame Analysis Method for Masonry Arch Bridges
The predictability of masonry arch bridges and their behaviour is widely considered doubtful due to the lack of knowledge about the conditions of a given masonry arch bridge. The assessment methods for masonry arch bridges are MEXE, ARCHIE, RING and Frame Analysis Method. The material properties of the masonry and fill material are extremely difficult to determine accurately. Consequently, it i...
متن کاملA Non-parametric Form-Finding Method for Designing Membrane Structure
In this paper, we present a non-parametric form-finding method for designing the minimal surface, or the uniformly tensioned surface of membrane structures with arbitrary specified boundaries. The area minimization problems are formulated as distributed-parameter shape optimization problems, and solved numerically. The internal volume or the perimeter is added as the constraints according to th...
متن کاملA BINARY LEVEL SET METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION
This paper proposes an effective algorithm based on the level set method (LSM) to solve shape and topology optimization problems. Since the conventional LSM has several limitations, a binary level set method (BLSM) is used instead. In the BLSM, the level set function can only take 1 and -1 values at convergence. Thus, it is related to phase-field methods. We don’t need to solve the Hamilton-Jac...
متن کاملA Parametric Level-Set Method for Partially Discrete Tomography
This paper introduces a parametric level-set method for tomographic reconstruction of partially discrete images. Such images consist of a continuously varying background and an anomaly with a constant (known) grey-value. We express the geometry of the anomaly using a level-set function, which we represent using radial basis functions. We pose the reconstruction problem as a bi-level optimizatio...
متن کاملUsing a Parametric Method for Investigating Automotive Crashworthiness
Parametric design optimization of an automotive body crashworthiness improvement is presented. The thicknesses of parts are employed as design variables for optimization whose objective is to increase the maximum deceleration value of the vehicle center of gravity during an impact. Using the Taguchi method, this study analyzes the optimum conditions for design objectives and the impact factors ...
