Large-Scale Topology Optimisation of Time-dependent Thermal Conduction Using Space-Time Finite Elements and a Parallel Space-Time Multigrid Preconditioner
Joe Alexandersen, Magnus Appel
This paper presents a novel space-time topology optimisation framework for time-dependent thermal conduction problems, aiming to significantly reduce the time-to-solution. By treat…
Space-Time Multigrid Methods Suitable for Topology Optimisation of Transient Heat Conduction
Magnus Appel, Joe Alexandersen
This paper presents Space-Time MultiGrid (STMG) methods which are suitable for performing topology optimisation of transient heat conduction problems. The proposed methods use a po…
One-shot Parareal Approach for Topology Optimisation of Transient Heat Flow
Magnus Appel, Joe Alexandersen
This paper presents a method of performing topology optimisation of transient heat conduction problems using the parallel-in-time method Parareal. To accommodate the adjoint analys…
Topology optimization of contact-aided thermo-mechanical regulators
Anna Dalklint, Joe Alexandersen, Andreas Henrik Frederiksen +2
Topology optimization is used to systematically design contact-aided thermo-mechanical regulators, i.e. components whose effective thermal conductivity is tunable by mechanical def…
