Smooth boundary topology optimization applied to an electrostatic actuator [PDF]
, 2008 Smooth boundary topology optimization (SBTO) avoids many of the problems encountered by conventional cell based systems coupled with material homogenization or density method. Shape optimization becomes part of topology optimization. The effectiveness of

The stress-minimizing hole in a shear-loaded elastic plate at a given energy increment
Archives of Mechanics, 2022 Minimization of the peak tangential stresses around a single hole in an infinite 2D elastic plate under remote pure shear and a given hole-induced strain energy level is considered as a free-shape optimization problem under a physical constraint.

SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 2022 The paper studies a class of variational problems, modeling optimal shapes for tree roots. Given a measure $μ$ describing the distribution of root hair cells, we seek to maximize a harvest functional $\mathcal{H}$, computing the total amount of water and nutrients gathered by the roots, subject to a cost for transporting these nutrients from the roots ...

Shape optimization of flow field improving hydrodynamic stability [PDF]
, 2016 This paper presents a solution of a shape optimization problem of a flow field for delaying transition from a laminar flow to a turbulent flow. Mapping from an initial domain to a new domain is chosen as the design variable.

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Niching genetic algorithms for optimization in electromagnetics. II. Shape optimization of electrodes using the CSM [PDF]
, 1998 In this paper, we present a new approach for automatic design of electrodes. The investigated method consists in identifying an optimal shape from an optimal equipotential resulting from a system of point charges.
