Computing via material topology optimisation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We construct logical gates via topology optimisation (aimed to solve a station problem of heat conduction) of a conductive material layout. Values of logical variables are represented high and low values of a temperature at given sites. Logical functions are implemented via the formation of an optimum layout of conductive material between the sites with loading conditions. We implement and and xor gates and a one-bit binary half-adder.

Topology Optimisation of Thermomechanical Functionally Graded Materials and Material Interfaces
The work applies topology optimisation to the design of functionally graded materials (FGMs) and materialinterfaces for thermomechanical problems. It is well known, that the mismatch in stiffness and thermal expansioncoefficient of two materials give rise to high stresses at the interface. One way to alleviate this is to use the conceptof FGMs [1]. The FGMs are here designed using t...
متن کاملSmooth Boundary Based Optimisation Using Fixed Grid
1. Abstract This paper presents a boundary based structural optimisation in the finite element fixed grid environment. The boundary is represented by smooth B-spline curves, as they typically require a relatively small number of control points to describe a curve. Utilising B-spline control points reduces the number of design variables whilst achieving a smooth boundary representation. An appro...
متن کاملFracture resistance via topology optimisation
The fracture resistance of structures is optimised using the level-set method. Fracture resistance is assumed to be related to the elastic energy released by a crack propagating in a normal direction from parts of the boundary which are in tension, and is calculated using the virtual crack extension technique. The shape derivative of the fracture-resistance objective function is derived. Two il...
متن کاملA nodal based evolutionary structural optimisation algorithm
This paper proposes a simple and interesting algorithm dealing with structural shape, topology and thickness optimisation simultaneously. The proposed approach is based on an interesting idea of migrating boundary nodes in an iterative manner. An intuitive nodal-based evolutionary structural algorithm drives the optimisation process. Finite element analysis is required at each stage to reveal t...
متن کاملTopology Optimisation of Representative Aircraft Wing Geometries with an Experimental Validation
Abstract: Increasingly aircraft are being designed to be more environmentally friendly and fuel efficient, as defined by the 2020-Vision and Flight-Path EU initiatives. This entails a reduction in aircraft weight while still maintaining all the other constraints. The conventional, semi-monocoque, aircraft design has not changed for the past 50 years. Recently, developments in aircraft design ha...
