Topological Derivative-based Optimization of Fiber-reinforced Structures, Coupled Thermoelastic Structures, and Compliant Mechanisms
The topological derivative of a functional quantifies the sensitivity with respect to an infinitesimal domain perturbations such as a hole, an inclusion, a source term, a crack, etc. In this thesis, topological derivatives ... -
Topology Optimization Of Composite Heat-Sinks Involving Phase-Change Material
(2010-08-16)The principal goal of this thesis is to develop a systematic method for the design of composite heat sinks (CHSs) that serve as passive and transient cooling devices for microelectronics. This is accomplished by posing the ...
