The topological derivative and its applications to fracture-based analysis and design
… derivative and its application to fracture-based analysis and design. The topological derivative describes the variation of a response functional with respect to infinitesimal changes in topology, such as the introduction of an infinitesimal crack or hole. In a previous work, Silva et al. …

Multiscale design of nonlinear materials using a shape optimization scheme based on an interface-enriched GFEM
… type of inverse design work relies on topology optimization based, primarily, on linear theory. In this work, we develop and implement a method to design particulate composites at the mesoscale using a shape optimization scheme to minimize or maximize a nonlinear cost function at the macroscale …

Dimensionally reduced modeling and gradient-based design of microchannel cooling networks
… and hydraulic models, a numerical solver and a shape optimization scheme. Another goal of this project is to verify and validate the dimensionally reduced models against a commercial computational fluid dynamics software package and experiments. The final goal is to apply the design tool to …
