Shape calculus and automatic differentiation for multi-phase level-set topology optimisation with unfitted finite elements

Zachary J. Wegert, Martin Berggren, Vivien J. Challis

We present shape calculus techniques and a scalable automatic shape differentiation framework for multi-phase topology optimisation on unfitted discretisations defined by several l…

Topology optimisation and simulated state reconstruction for self-sensing piezoresistive grippers

Connor N Mallon, Zachary J Wegert, Anthony P Roberts +3

We consider the computational design of a self-sensing robotic gripper that has the potential to reduce reliance on traditional external sensors. We computationally investigate the…

A discontinuous finite element method for the hydroelastic analysis of submerged structures

Zachary J. Wegert, Oriol Colomés, Michael H. Meylan +2

This paper develops a finite element method for wave-structure interaction problems arising in the hydroelastic modelling of submerged elastic plates. The approach is formulated fo…

Water wave scattering by a surface-mounted rectangular anisotropic elastic plate

Ben Wilks, Michael H. Meylan, Zachary J. Wegert +2

This paper considers the problem of water wave scattering by a rectangular anisotropic elastic plate mounted on the ocean surface, with either free, clamped or simply-supported edg…

Level-set topology optimisation with unfitted finite elements and automatic shape differentiation

Zachary J. Wegert, Jordi Manyer, Connor Mallon +2

In this paper we develop automatic shape differentiation techniques for unfitted discretisations and link these to recent advances in shape calculus for unfitted methods. We extend…
