Book Description
As optimization researchers tackle larger and larger problems, scale interactions play an increasingly important role. One general strategy for dealing with a large or difficult problem is to partition it into smaller ones, which are hopefully much easier to solve, and then work backwards towards the solution of original problem, using a solution from a previous level as a starting guess at the next level. This volume contains 22 chapters highlighting some recent research. The topics of the chapters selected for this volume are focused on the development of new solution methodologies, including general multilevel solution techniques, for tackling difficult, large-scale optimization problems that arise in science and industry. Applications presented in the book include but are not limited to the circuit placement problem in VLSI design, a wireless sensor location problem, optimal dosages in the treatment of cancer by radiation therapy, and facility location.

Multiscale Structural Topology Optimization
Author: Liang Xia
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0081011865
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Multiscale Structural Topology Optimization discusses the development of a multiscale design framework for topology optimization of multiscale nonlinear structures. With the intention to alleviate the heavy computational burden of the design framework, the authors present a POD-based adaptive surrogate model for the RVE solutions at the microscopic scale and make a step further towards the design of multiscale elastoviscoplastic structures. Various optimization methods for structural size, shape, and topology designs have been developed and widely employed in engineering applications. Topology optimization has been recognized as one of the most effective tools for least weight and performance design, especially in aeronautics and aerospace engineering. This book focuses on the simultaneous design of both macroscopic structure and microscopic materials. In this model, the material microstructures are optimized in response to the macroscopic solution, which results in the nonlinearity of the equilibrium problem of the interface of the two scales. The authors include a reduce database model from a set of numerical experiments in the space of effective strain. - Presents the first attempts towards topology optimization design of nonlinear highly heterogeneous structures - Helps with simultaneous design of the topologies of both macroscopic structure and microscopic materials - Helps with development of computer codes for the designs of nonlinear structures and of materials with extreme constitutive properties - Focuses on the simultaneous design of both macroscopic structure and microscopic materials - Includes a reduce database model from a set of numerical experiments in the space of effective strain

ISBN: 1118534859
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
Practical Multiscaling covers fundamental modelling techniques aimed at bridging diverse temporal and spatial scales ranging from the atomic level to a full-scale product level. It focuses on practical multiscale methods that account for fine-scale (material) details but do not require their precise resolution. The text material evolved from over 20 years of teaching experience at Rensselaer and Columbia University, as well as from practical experience gained in the application of multiscale software. This book comprehensively covers theory and implementation, providing a detailed exposition of the state-of-the-art multiscale theories and their insertion into conventional (single-scale) finite element code architecture. The robustness and design aspects of multiscale methods are also emphasised, which is accomplished via four building blocks: upscaling of information, systematic reduction of information, characterization of information utilizing experimental data, and material optimization. To ensure the reader gains hands-on experience, a companion website hosting a lite version of the multiscale design software (MDS-Lite) is available. Key features: Combines fundamental theory and practical methods of multiscale modelling Covers the state-of-the-art multiscale theories and examines their practical usability in design Covers applications of multiscale methods Accompanied by a continuously updated website hosting the multiscale design software Illustrated with colour images Practical Multiscaling is an ideal textbook for graduate students studying multiscale science and engineering. It is also a must-have reference for government laboratories, researchers and practitioners in civil, aerospace, pharmaceutical, electronics, and automotive industries, and commercial software vendors.

Multiscale Optimization And Materials Design
Author: Jun Yan
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 981121655X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The book presents a set of novel, efficient and systematic concurrent multiscale optimization methods by considering the distribution of the material in macro-scale and the unit-cell configuration design in micro-scale simultaneously. Different from the traditional optimization method that is performed in a single scale, the proposed methods could generate a great deal of improvements in structural performance through the multiscale structure-material concurrent optimum design.The proposed theory and methods are related to statics, dynamics, thermoelastics and the coupling of different physical fields. Therefore, it provides a comprehensive designing scheme when multiple factors are taken into account. For example, the designing scheme can have a great significance on enhancing the structural performances under coupled multi-physical fields, such as load bearing capacity, vibration resistance ability, and safety under thermal stress and so on.Several numerical examples are highlighted in this unique volume based on practical engineering applications. The examples collectively demonstrate drastically improved designs featuring excellent unit-cell configuration and highly regular macroscale material distribution in a variety of industrial applications.
