A DCAMM seminar will be presented by
Research Fellow Renato Picelli Sanchez
University of São Paulo, Brazil
Abstract:
For years, integer programming in topology optimisation was deemed intractable due to large computational expenses and inability to effectively handle constraint nonlinearities. However, this can now be reevaluated. This talk provides first a historic overview of the methods employing binary design variables and then focuses on a topology optimisation framework based on sequential integer linear programming. Applications are given for coupled multi-physics problems in solid and fluid mechanics. The promising characteristics of the overall framework will be illustrated with 2D and 3D problems, including acoustics, turbulent flow and fluid-structure interaction.
Danish pastry, coffee and tea will e served 15 minutes before the seminar starts.
All interested persons are invited
