Wave energy conversion by floating and submerged piezoelectric bimorph plates
Zachary J. Wegert, Ben Wilks, Ngamta Thamwattana +3
Gaining insight into the interaction between flexible piezoelectric structures and ocean waves can inform the development of compact, high-efficiency wave-energy converters that ha…
Design of three dimensional isotropic microstructures for maximized stiffness and conductivity
V. J. Challis, A. P. Roberts, A. H. Wilkins
The level-set method of topology optimization is used to design isotropic two-phase periodic multifunctional composites in three dimensions. One phase is stiff and insulating where…
Fracture resistance via topology optimisation
V. J. Challis, A. P. Roberts, A. H. Wilkins
The fracture resistance of structures is optimised using the level-set method. Fracture resistance is assumed to be related to the elastic energy released by a crack propagating in…
