INVERSE DESIGN OF DIELECTRIC MATERIALS BY TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION

Inverse Design of Dispersion Compensating Optical Fibres Using Topology Optimization

Design of smart composite materials using topology optimization

The topology optimization method is used to find the distribution of material phases that extremizes an objective function (e.g., thermal expansion coefficient, piezoelectric coefficients etc) subject to constraints, such as elastic symmetry and volume fractions of the constituent phases, within a periodic base cell. The effective properties of the material structures are found using a numerica...

Stochastic Topology Design Optimization for Continuous Elastic Materials

In this paper, we develop a stochastic model for topology optimization. We find robust structures that minimize the compliance for a given main load having a stochastic behavior. We propose a model that takes into account the expected value of the compliance and its variance. We show that, similarly to the case of truss structures, these values can be computed with an equivalent deterministic a...

Inverse topology in BL-algebras

In this paper, we introduce Inverse topology in a BL-algebra A and prove the set of all minimal prime filters of A, namely Min(A) with the Inverse topology is a compact space, Hausdorff, T0  and T1-Space. Then, we show that Zariski topology on Min(A) is finer than the Inverse topology on Min(A). Then, we investigate what conditions may result in the equivalence of these two topologies. Finally,...

Topology Design Optimization of Dielectric Substrates for Bandwidth Improvement of a Patch Antenna

Most literature studies dealing with design optimization for RF applications focused to a large extend on size and shape optimization. So far, material and topology optimization has not been pursued primarily due to the challenges associated with the fabrication of inhomogeneous materials and the limited access to analysis tools. In this paper, we focus on optimum topology/material design of di...
