Sharp Interface Approach in Topology Optimization of Contact Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with the shape and/or topology optimization for an elastic body in unilateral contact with a rigid foundation. The contact phenomenon with Tresca friction between the surfaces of the elastic or rigid bodies is described by the elliptic variational inequality. This optimization problem consists in finding such topology of the domain occupied by the body and/or the shape of its boundary that the normal contact stress along the boundary of the body is minimized. The volume of the body is bounded.

Sharp Interface Limit for a Phase Field Model in Structural Optimization
We formulate a general shape and topology optimization problem in structural optimization by using a phase field approach. This problem is considered in view of well-posedness and we derive optimality conditions. We relate the diffuse interface problem to a perimeter penalized sharp interface shape optimization problem in the sense of Γ-convergence of the reduced objective functional. Additiona...

متن کاملRelating phase field and sharp interface approaches to structural topology optimization
A phase field approach for structural topology optimization which allows for topology changes and multiple materials is analyzed. First order optimality conditions are rigorously derived and it is shown via formally matched asymptotic expansions that these conditions converge to classical first order conditions obtained in the context of shape calculus. We also discuss how to deal with triple j...

In this paper we introduce a new formulation for shape optimization problems in fluids in a diffuse interface setting that can in particular handle topological changes. By adding the Ginzburg–Landau energy as a regularization to the objective functional and relaxing the non-permeability outside the fluid region by introducing a porous medium approach we hence obtain a phase field problem where ...
