We study a shape optimization problem for quasi-linear elliptic systems. The state equations describe an interface problem and the ultimate goal of our research is to determine the interface between two materials with different physical properties. The interface is identified by the minimization of the shape (or the cost) functional representing the misfit between the data and the simulations. ...

graph theory based methods are powerful means for representing structural systems so that their geometry and topology can be understood clearly. the combination of graph theory based methods and some metaheuristics can offer effective solutions for complex engineering optimization problems. this paper presents a charged system search (css) algorithm for the free shape optimizations of thin-wall...

An efficient method for scattering Genetic Algorithm (GA) individuals in the design space is proposed to accelerate airfoil shape optimization. The method used here is based on the variation of the mutation rate for each gene of the chromosomes by taking feedback from the current population. An adaptive method for airfoil shape parameterization is also applied and its impact on the optimum desi...

Following your need to always fulfil the inspiration to obtain everybody is now simple. Connecting to the internet is one of the short cuts to do. There are so many sources that offer and connect us to other world condition. As one of the products to see in internet, this website becomes a very available place to look for countless structural design via optimality criteria the prager approach t...

We consider the problem of the optimal location of a Dirichlet region in a d-dimensional domain Ω subjected to a given force f in order to minimize a given functional. We look for the optimal region among the class of all closed connected sets of assigned total length l. Then we let l tends to infinity and we look at the Γ-limit of a suitable rescaled functional, in order to get information of ...

The concept of shape-manifold is applied here to the optimization of a deep drawn blank considering parameterized tool geometries. By adopting this concept, a realistic post-springback shape of the blank closest to a given ideal target shape is obtained. The global approach is fully automated, from the generation of the tool geometries, to the identification of the optimized design parameters. ...

We study the problem of optimizing the face elements of a quad mesh surface, that is, resampling a given quad mesh to make it possess, as much as possible, face elements of some desired aspect ratio and size. Unlike previous quad mesh optimization/improvement methods based on local operations on a small group of elements, we adopt a global approach that does not introduce extra singularities an...
