Shape optimization of thermo-elastic problem.

[shriram]

Hey all,

I am working on numerical simulation of glass molding process.

It would be helpful if anyone can provide references for shape optimization of a thermo-elastic problem. Also, suggestions for good books giving theoretical treatment to the same would be helpful too.




Thanks,
Shriram.

Shriram,

I have a polymer mold transient simulation paper. It simulates and optimizes the mold temperature distibutions. The method employed in this paper could be extended to shape optimization of thermo-elastic problems. The following is the title and location of the paper:

•Huang, J. and Fadel, G.M. 2001: Bi-objective Optimization Design of Heterogeneous Injection Mold Cooling Systems. Journal of Mechanical Design, Vol. 123(2), p.226-239

Hello Shriram
There is a paper published by myself at the ASME 2007 conf held
at Montreal. The paper deals with thermoelastic analysis using
shape derivatives for isotropic components
the title of the paper is as under
"TOPOLOGY DERIVATIVE CALCULATIONS FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY STRUCTURAL-THERMAL COMPONENT DESIGN", S.Nagendra, Pratt and Whitney, E.Hartford, CT 06108.
Hope it helps
