... . In their study, they start with the basic configuration as shown in Figure 1(a) and generate a topology optimized configuration as shown in Figure 1(b) . In the present study, we refers to both configurations as, B a s e l i n e _ t r a d i t i o n a l and B a s e l i n e...

...Luís Fernando Nogueira de Sá; Fereshteh Razmara; Thiago Lopes; Nigel Brandon; Julio Meneghini; Emilio Carlos Nelli Silva Purpose This study aims to advance the design of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells by introducing a novel topology optimization approach. It seeks to overcome...

...Nikolaos Galanos; Evangelos Papoutsis-Kiachagias; Kyriakos Giannakoglou Purpose This paper aims to present a topology optimization (TopO) method for designing heat exchangers (HEx) with two working fluids to be kept apart. The introduction of cut–cells gives rise to the cut-cell TopO method, which...

...Heinrich Badenhorst Purpose The purpose of this paper is to apply two optimization methods to the issue of sensible energy store design. Design/methodology/approach This paper is a comparison of topology optimization and genetic algorithms. Findings Genetic algorithms are prone to converge...

...Ajay Vadakkepatt; Sanjay R. Mathur; Jayathi Y. Murthy Purpose Topology optimization is a method used for developing optimized geometric designs by distributing material pixels in a given design space that maximizes a chosen quantity of interest (QoI) subject to constraints. The purpose...
