Structural optimisation of diffusion driven degradation processes

Abstract In this article, we propose an optimisation framework that can contribute to the prevention of premature failure or damage building structures and thereby strengthen their longevity. We concentrate on are contaminated by chemical substances have strong destructive effects material. The aim contribution is a mathematical algorithm allows structure exposed influences thus assurance static load capacity. To achieve this, present coupled mechanical-diffusion-degradation approach embedded in finite element (FE) framework. Furthermore, integrate reduce material degradation. paper, establish shape with gradient based algorithm.
