Optimal design problems for two-phase conducting composites with weakly discontinuous objective functionals

چکیده
We consider the relatively simple but non-trivial example of an optimal design problem with a weakly discontinuous objective functional. The objective functional is quadratic and was suggested by Tartar in his “Remarks on optimal design” paper. We analyze a problem of finding a layout of a conducting composite such that the fields in both phases provide least squares fit to a given field. The main result of the paper is an explicit formula for the relaxed optimal design problem, suitable for numerical solution. Further analysis of our explicit formula shows that the optimal layout is a rank one laminate locally, lending some support for Tartar’s conjecture that the minimizing sequences always converge strongly.

Homogenization in an optimal design problem with quadratic weakly discontinuous objective functional
In this paper we consider an optimal design problem, where the goal is to find the layout of two conductors that minimize a given quadratic objective functional. The most important feature of the objective functional is that it is weakly discontinuous. In that case the tools of homogenization that were traditionally used in order to study such problems, are helpful but not sufficient. In this p...
متن کاملA 3D interface-enriched generalized finite element method for weakly discontinuous problems with complex internal geometries
An interface-enriched generalized finite element method (GFEM) is introduced for 3D problems with discontinuous gradient fields. The proposed method differs from conventional GFEM by assigning the generalized degrees of freedom to the interface nodes, i.e., nodes generated along the interface when creating integration subdomains, instead of the nodes of the original mesh. A linear combination o...
متن کاملOptimal design of squirrel cage induction motor using multi-objective Salp Swarm Algorithm
The design of three-phase induction motors is a challenge in electrical engineering. Therefore, new design techniques are continuously provided. Since the design of the induction motors is carried out for different purposes, it is difficult to find a method that can addresses all the targets. Nowadays, the normal methods used to solve multi-objective problems are the optimization strategies. In...
متن کاملVariational Methods, Bounds and Size E ects for Composites with Highly Conducting Interface
New variational principles are developed for the e ective conductivity tensor for anisotropic two-phase electric conductors. Here the interface between phases is assumed to be highly conducting. Extra geometric information is encoded into the principles through the solution operators of simpler transport problems. These operators can be expressed as gradients of simple layer potentials with den...
متن کاملA complete theory of low-energy phase diagrams for two-dimensional turbulence steady states and equilibria
For the 2D Euler equations and related models of geophysical flows, minima of energy–Casimir variational problems are stable steady states of the equations (Arnol’d theorems). The same variational problems also describe sets of statistical equilibria of the equations. This paper uses Lyapunov–Schmidt reduction in order to study the bifurcation diagrams for these variational problems, in the lim...
