Structural Analysis Using Applied Element Method: A Review

PEIECWISE CONSTANT LEVEL SET METHOD BASED FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS FOR STRUCTURAL TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION USING PHASE FIELD METHOD

In this paper the piecewise level set method is combined with phase field method to solve the shape and topology optimization problem. First, the optimization problem is formed based on piecewise constant level set method then is updated using the energy term of phase field equations. The resulting diffusion equation which updates the level set function and optimization ...

Rock Slope Stability Analysis Using Discrete Element Method

Rock slope stability depends very much on the strength features of the rock and the geometrical and strength characteristics of the discontinuities (e.g., roughness, wall strength and persistence). Since a rock mass is not a continuum, its behavior is dominated by such discontinuities as faults, joints and bedding planes. Also, Rock slope instability is a major hazard for human activities and o...

Structural Topology Optimization Using Finite Element Based Level Set Method Structural Topology Optimization Using Finite Element Based Level Set Method

A finite element based level set method is proposed for structural topology optimization. Because both the level set equation and the reinitialization equation are advection dominated partial differential equations, the standard Galerkin finite element method may produce oscillating results. In this paper, both equations are solved using a streamline diffusion finite element method (SDFEM). The...
