A NEW MEMETIC SWARM OPTIMIZATION FOR SPECTRAL LAYOUT DESIGN OF BRACED FRAMES
For most practical purposes, true topology optimization of a braced frame should be synchronized with its sizing. An integrated layout optimization is formulated here to simultaneously account for both member sizing and bracings’ topology in such a problem. Code-specific seismic design spectrum is applied to unify the earthquake excitation. The problem is solved for minimal structural weight un...
متن کاملTOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF PRETENSIONED CONCRETE BEAMS CONSIDERING MATERIAL NONLINEARITY
In this paper, the bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) method is used to find optimal layouts of 3D prestressed concrete beams. Considering the element sensitivity number as the design variable, the mathematical formulation of topology optimization is developed based on the ABAQUS finite element software package. The surface-to-surface contact with a small sliding between...
متن کاملASIC design protection against reverse engineering during the fabrication process using automatic netlist obfuscation design flow
Fab-less business model in semiconductor industry has led to serious concerns about trustworthy hardware. In untrusted foundries and manufacturing companies, submitted layout may be analyzed and reverse engineered to steal the information of a design or insert malicious Trojans. Understanding the netlist topology is the ultimate goal of the reverse engineering process. In this paper, we propose...
متن کاملModeling and Layout Optimization of VLSI Devices and Interconnects In Deep Submicron Design
This paper presents an overview of recent advances on modeling and layout optimization of devices and interconnects for high-performance VLSI circuit design under the deep submicron technology. First, we review a number of interconnect and driver/gate delay models, which are most useful to guide the layout optimization. Then, we summarize the available performance optimization techniques for VL...
متن کاملAn Agile Migration Framework for Analog Layout Design
Layout generation in the late analog CMOS design is challenging by its increasing layout constraints and performance requirements. However, iterative refinement on manual design damages the productivity of analog layout. Therefore, it is more efficient to enroll the know-how from existing design instead of generating a new one. To contend with time-consuming analog layout for more possibilities...
