... interaction is modeled by coupling conditions on the common interface. First, the existence and uniqueness of solutions are investigated, and then, after recalling fundamental notions of shape optimization, the tensor form of the distributed shape derivative is obtained for the coupled problem...

... optimization Agence Nationale de la Recherche Let D be a bounded, open subset of R N , the “hold-all” domain. With applications to shape optimization in mind, it is mostly assumed that N = 2 or N = 3, but the case N = 1 may have its own interest...

.../methodology/approach The author has carried out computational fluid dynamic (CFD)-based shape optimization relative to five distinct numerical objectives, to understand their interrelations in optimal designs. Starting from a given baseline S-duct design, they have applied control node-induced shape...

...E. HINTON; M. ÖZAKÇA; N.V.R. RAO This paper deals with structural shape optimization of vibrating prismatic shells and folded plates. The finite strip method is used to determine the natural frequencies and modal shapes based on Mindlin‐Reissner shell theory which allows for transverse shear...

... on axisymmetric Mindlin‐Reissner shell theory. An integrated approach is used to carry out the whole shape optimization process in a fully automatic manner. A robust, versatile and flexible mesh generator is incorporated with facilities for generating either uniform or graded meshes, with constant, linear...
