A Concept of Equivalent Load Scheme for Easy Prediction of Structural Topology When Load Position Changes Randomly

open access: yesApplied Sciences
The contemporary optimal design methodologies must be aligned with actual operating conditions of the structures, like, for example, load uncertainty—a situation which often occurs in engineering problems.

Robust shape optimization method for a linear elastic structure with unknown loadings

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2015
In this paper, we propose a robust shape optimization method for a linear elastic structure with unknown loadings. The concept of principal compliance for minimizing the maximal compliance in the unknown loadings is applied to a shape optimization ...

On the Numerical Determination of Relaxation and Retardation Spectra for Linearly Viscoelastic Materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 1967
Knowledge of the relaxation spectrum is important because (1) it provides an intrinsic characterization of the mechanical properties for linearly viscoelastic materials and (2) it offers a rational way to derive the coefficients for a Prony or Dirichlet ...

Compliance minimization via physics-informed Gaussian processes

open access: yesStructural and Multidisciplinary Optimization
Machine learning (ML) techniques have recently gained significant attention for solving compliance minimization (CM) problems. However, these methods typically provide poor feature boundaries, are very expensive, and lack a systematic mechanism to control the design complexity.

Shape optimization for quadratic functionals and states with random right-hand sides [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In this work, we investigate a particular class of shape optimization problems under uncertainties on the input parameters. More precisely, we are interested in the minimization of the expectation of a quadratic objective in a situation where the state ...

Shape Optimization of Thermoelastic Fields for Mean Compliance Minimization

open access: yesTRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 2011
This paper presents a numerical analysis method for shape optimization in order to achieve stiffness maximization in thermoelastic fields. Mean compliance is used as an objective functional for the shape optimization problem. The mean compliance minimization problem on the thermoelastic fields is formulated on volume constraint condition.

The MedSupport Multilevel Intervention to Enhance Support for Pediatric Medication Adherence: Development and Feasibility Testing

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction We developed MedSupport, a multilevel medication adherence intervention designed to address root barriers to medication adherence. This study sought to explore the feasibility and acceptability of the MedSupport intervention strategies to support a future full‐scale randomized controlled trial.
