PDE-Constrained High-Order Mesh Optimization
Tzanio Kolev, Boyan Lazarov, Ketan Mittal +2
We present a novel framework for PDE-constrained -adaptivity of high-order meshes. The proposed method formulates mesh movement as an optimization problem, with an objective fun…
Scalable Analysis and Design Using Automatic Differentiation
Julian Andrej, Tzanio Kolev, Boyan Lazarov
This article aims to demonstrate and discuss the applications of automatic differentiation (AD) for finding derivatives in PDE-constrained optimization problems and Jacobians in no…
A Simple Introduction to the SiMPL Method for Density-Based Topology Optimization
Dohyun Kim, Boyan Stefanov Lazarov, Thomas M. Surowiec +1
We introduce a novel method for solving density-based topology optimization problems: Sigmoidal Mirror descent with a Projected Latent variable (SiMPL). The SiMPL method (pronounce…
Analysis of the SiMPL method for density-based topology optimization
Brendan Keith, Dohyun Kim, Boyan S. Lazarov +1
We present a rigorous convergence analysis of a new method for density-based topology optimization that provides point-wise bound preserving design updates and faster convergence t…
Finite elements for Matérn-type random fields: Uncertainty in computational mechanics and design optimization
Tobias Duswald, Brendan Keith, Boyan Lazarov +2
This work highlights an approach for incorporating realistic uncertainties into scientific computing workflows based on finite elements, focusing on applications in computational m…
