Shape Optimization of Gravity Dams Using a Nature-Inspired Approach [PDF]
In water infrastructures design problems, small changes in their geometries lead to a major variation in the construction time and costs. Dams are such important water infrastructures, which have different types regarding their materials and their ...

Shape Optimization by Pursuing Diffeomorphisms [PDF]
Abstract We consider PDE constrained shape optimization in the framework of finite element discretization of the underlying boundary value problem. We present an algorithm tailored to preserve and exploit the approximation properties of the finite element method, and that allows for arbitrarily high resolution of shapes. It employs (i) B-

Optimal shapes of compact strings [PDF]
Optimal geometrical arrangements, such as the stacking of atoms, are of relevance in diverse disciplines. A classic problem is the determination of the optimal arrangement of spheres in three dimensions in order to achieve the highest packing fraction; only recently has it been proved that the answer for infinite systems is a face-centred-cubic lattice.

Superhydrophobic films (SHF) have recently increased in routine due to their non-wettable capacity. Superhydrophobicity can be occurred by making a micro-structural-post on materials with the surface having a low energy level.

SHAPE OPTIMIZATION AND REARRANGEMENTS
In this note we consider a shape optimization problem with a weighted volume constraint. Using Burton’s theory of rearrangements of functions we transfer the problem into a rearrangement optimization problem. Existence, uniqueness and convexity of optimal shapes are addressed.

Blade Structure Design Based on Topology Optimization and Shape Optimization
The blade cross-section design of the helicopter rotor is the basis for studying the rotor dynamics design. A two-stage optimization design method combining joint topology optimization and shape optimization is proposed, which can be used for the design ...

We present filling as a type of spatial subdivision problem similar to covering and packing. Filling addresses the optimal placement of overlapping objects lying entirely inside an arbitrary shape so as to cover the most interior volume. In n-dimensional space, if the objects are polydisperse n-balls, we show that solutions correspond to sets of ...
