Gener...

This project serves as a guided tour through topology optimization of elastic continua. As a general reference to topology optimization we give [1]. Subsequently – from Section 2 and onwards – you are asked to perform several topology optimization computations and also to compare with shape optimization computations. The project should be solved using the program TRINITAS and a Java applet 1 fo...

The trend toward broadband communications in space is foreseeable, and its features predestine ATM as the basic mode of operation. Some of the low and medium earth orbit satellite concepts make use of intersatellite links (ISLs) to provide global connectivity with minimal usage of terrestrial fixed network resources. Interconnecting neighbouring satellites with ISLs results in a partially meshe...

Topology optimization is a method to find the best distribution of material in a given design domain. The use of topology optimization for structural design often leads to slender structures which are sensitive to geometric imperfections such as the misplacement or misalignment of material. A robust approach to topology optimization is therefore presented which takes into account these geometri...

Topology optimization is a systematic method of generating designs to meet specific engineering requirements. It is exploited today in several industries including aircraft, automobile, and machinery, and it strongly complements the emerging field of additive manufacturing. Yet, the wide-spread use of topology optimization has been deterred due to high computational cost and significant softwar...

For any agency dealing with the design of the water distribution network, an economic design will be an objective. In this research, Central Force Optimization (CFO) and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm were used to optimize Ismail Abad water Distribution network. Optimization of the network has been evaluated by developing an optimization model based on CFO and DE algorithm in MATLAB and ...

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for optimizing the route of a connection that becomes suboptimal due to operations such as handoffs and location-based reroutes, for mobile ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) networks based on the PNNI (private network-to-network interface) standard. This algorithm uses hierarchical route information of the connection and summarized topology and loading info...

Topology optimization has been extensively considered to design the structural configuration for the stiffness maximization and the eigenfrequency maximization. In this paper, we construct a topology optimization method implementing flexibility with the time-periodic loading condition. First, the flexibility in the dynamic periodic loading is formulated using the mutual energy concept. Second, ...

In this paper, we study the interconnect layout optimization problem under a higher-order RLC model to optimize not only delay, but also waveform, for interconnects with non-monotone signal response in the context of MCM global routing. We propose a unified approach that considers topology optimization and waveform optimization simultaneously. Using a new incremental moment computation algorith...
