Topological Optimisation of Rod-Stirring Devices
There are many industrial situations where rods are used to stir a fluid, or where rods repeatedly stretch a material such as bread dough or taffy. The goal in these applications is to stretch either material lines (in a fluid) or the material itself (for dough or taffy) as rapidly as possible. The growth rate of material lines is conveniently given by the topological entropy of the rod motion....
متن کاملTopological Optimization of PLAs
Several topological optimization techniques have been developed to minimize the area of PLAs. Significant yield enhancement can also be achieved by minimizing the defect sensitivity of a design that is already optimized for area. In this paper, we propose a yield enhancement technique through which the defect sensitivity of the design will be minimized without increasing the area. This reductio...
متن کاملTOPOLOGICAL OPTIMIZATION OF VIBRATING CONTINUUM STRUCTURES FOR OPTIMAL NATURAL EIGENFREQUENCY
Keeping the eigenfrequencies of a structure away from the external excitation frequencies is one of the main goals in the design of vibrating structures in order to avoid risk of resonance. This paper is devoted to the topological design of freely vibrating continuum structures with the aim of maximizing the fundamental eigenfrequency. Since in the process of topology optimization some areas of...
متن کاملTopological Optimization of Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Devices for Improved Electromechanical Efficiency and Frequency Range
The development of energy harvesting devices with piezoelectric transducers has been widely studied in the last decade. Most of previous studies considered a resonant cantilever beam with an attached tip mass and focused on the proper modeling of the cantilever device, design and optimization of electric harvesting circuit and nonlinear amplification of resonant vibration amplitude. However, fe...
متن کاملA New Topological Optimization Method for the Mechanical and Control-Oriented Design of Compliant Piezoelectric Devices
1. Abstract This paper presents a new method developed for the optimal design of piezoactive compliant mechanisms. It is based on a flexible building blocks method, called FlexIn, which uses an evolutionary approach, to optimize a truss-like structure made of passive and active piezoelectric building blocks. An electromechanical approach, based on a mixed finite element method, is used to estab...
