 Title:
ASPECTS OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURAL SHAPE OPTIMIZATION
 
Summary :
IN THIS WORK, SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL STRUCTURES DESCRIBED BY NURBS SURFACES IS PRESENTED. THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD IS APPLIED TO STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS. CONTINUOUS DESIGN SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS IS USED TO EVALUATE GRADIENTS OF PERFORMANCE FUNCTIONALS. THE EXPRESSIONS OF SHAPE SENSITIVITY DEPEND ON THE DESIGN VELOCITY VECTOR FIELD WHICH DESCRIBES SHAPE VARIATIONS OF THE DOMAIN. ASPECTS OF BOUNDARY VELOCITY FIELD EVALUATION AND GEOMETRIC DATA STRUCTURES ARE DISCUSSED. FINALLY, A SHAPE OPTIMIZATION OF A 3D LINEAR ELASTIC EXAMPLE IS PRESENTED. KEYWORDS: OPTIMIZATION, SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS, FINITE ELEMENT METHOD, NURBS, VELOCITY FIELDS.
