Isogeometric Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures using Evolutionary Algorithms
Abstract: Isogeometric analysis is a popular method for the analysis of problems involving complex geometry and governed by differential equations. Meta-heuristics are widely used to determine the optimum distribution of material within the given design domain. The focus of this study is to perform isogeometric topology optimization of continuum structures using meta-heuristics nature inspired firefly algorithm. NURBS basis functions are used to construct the geometric model and to calculate the displacements …

A Detailed Stepwise Procedure to Perform Isogeometric Analysis of a Two Dimensional Continuum Plate Structure-II
Abstract: Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is the future of analysis in structural mechanics where in the geometry of the structure can be precisely represented. The integration of CAD and IGA has enabled us to design the most complex geometry as well. The main focus of the paper is to present a detailed stepwise procedure to perform isogeometric analysis of continuum plate structures subjected to in-plane loading. In this paper, a simple example …

Parallel Computing to Perform Isogeometric Topology Optimisation of Continuum Structures Using Aqua Search Evolutionary Algorithm
Abstract: AbstractThe efficiency and effectiveness of using the computational power to solve engineering problems is the real challenge. The knowledge of Computer Science and Information Technology should enable us to address these challenges in the field of computational mechanics and solvea few structural engineering problems. The main focus in this paper is to be able to apply parallel computing to perform engineering optimization of NP(non-deterministic polynomial-time hardness)-hard problems using fewer computational …
