Multiobjective muffler shape optimization with hybrid acoustics modelling
2011
This paper considers the combined use of a hybrid numerical method for the modeling of acoustic mufflers and a genetic algorithm for multiobjective optimization. The hybrid numerical method provides accurate modeling of sound propagation in uniform waveguides with non-uniform obstructions. It is based on coupling a wave based modal solution in the uniform sections of the waveguide to a finite element solution in the non-uniform component. Finite element method provides flexible modeling of complicated geometries, varying material parameters, and boundary conditions, while the wave based solution leads to accurate treatment of non-reflecting boundaries and straightforward computation of the …
Shape optimization for Stokes problem with threshold slip boundary conditions
2017
This paper deals with shape optimization of systems governed by the Stokes flow with threshold slip boundary conditions. The stability of solutions to the state problem with respect to a class of domains is studied. For computational purposes the slip term and impermeability condition are handled by a regularization. To get a finite dimensional optimization problem, the optimized part of the boundary is described by B´ezier polynomials. Numerical examples illustrate the computational efficiency. peerReviewed
Numerical methods for acoustics and noise control
2010
Artikkeliväitöskirja. Sisältää yhteenveto-osan ja viisi artikkelia. Article dissertation. Contains an introduction part and five articles. This dissertation considers numerical methods for wave propagation modelling and noise control. The first part of the dissertation discusses an efficient method for solving time-harmonic wave equations in acoustic (the Helmholtz equation) and elastic domains (the Navier equation). The solver is based on preconditioning a Krylov subspace method, such as GMRES, with approximations of damped variants of the corresponding wave equations. An algebraic multigrid method is used in approximating the inverse of damped operators. The method can be used in complex …
Multi-objective actuator placement optimization for local sound control evaluated in a stochastic domain
2011
A method to find optimal locations and properties of anti-noise actuators in local noise control system is considered. The local noise control performance is approximated by a finite element method based approach, that attempts to estimate the average performance of optimal active noise control (ANC) system. The local noise control uses a fixed number of circular actuators that are located on the boundary of a three-dimensional enclosed acoustic space. Actuator signals are used to minimize the known harmonic noise at specified locations. The average noise reduction is maximized at two frequency ranges by adjusting the anti-noise actuator configuration, which is a non-linear multi-objective …
Multi-objective actuator placement optimization for local sound control evaluated in a stochastic domain

A method to find optimal locations and properties of anti-noise actuators in a local noise control system is considered.

Shape optimization in contact problems based on penalization of the state inequality
1986
The paper deals with the approximation of optimal shape of elastic bodies, unilaterally supported by a rigid, frictionless foundation. Original state inequality, describing the behaviour of such a body is replaced by a family of penalized state problems. The relation between optimal shapes for the original state inequality and those for penalized state equations is established. peerReviewed
Implementation of sparse forward mode automatic differentiation with application to electromagnetic shape optimization
2011
In this paper, we present the details of a simple lightweight implementation of the so-called sparse forward mode automatic differentiation (AD) in the C++programming language. Our implementation and the well-known ADOL-C tool (which utilizes taping and compression techniques) are used to compute Jacobian matrices of two nonlinear systems of equations from the MINPACK-2 test problem collection. Timings of the computations are presented and discussed. Moreover, we perform the shape sensitivity analysis of a time-harmonic Maxwell equation solver using our implementation and the tapeless mode of ADOL-C, which implements the dense forward mode AD. It is shown that the use of the sparse forward …
Katsaus muodon optimoinnin menetelmiin
2017
Tutkielma esittelee muodon optimoinnin menetelmiä sekä niiden historiaa luoden katsauksen menetelmien kehittymiseen sekä niiden keskinäisiin suhteisiin. Tällaisia ovat esimerkiksi menetelmän matemaattisen teorian “kehittyneisyys” ja ratkaisemisen tehokkuus tai soveltuvuus. Tarkoituksena on muodostaa yleiskuva siitä, mitä menetelmiä muodon optimointiin on jo kehitetty, selvittää, miten ajankohtaisia eri menetelmät ovat, miten menetelmät vertautuvat toisiinsa ja selvittää, mihin eri menetelmät soveltuvat. Lukijan odotetaan selvittävän tarvittavat taustatiedot, sillä tutkielma ei juurikaan esittele muodon optimoinnin matematiikkaa. This thesis presents shape optimization methods, their history…
