Abstract:

Shape optimization of heat conducting, elastic bodies subjected to thermal and standard loads is considered. Interaction of stress and temperature fields is modelled using the formulation of steady state thermoelasticity. The presence of heat radiation with mutual irradiation of the boundaries and the presence of shadow zones is taken into account. Evolutionary algorithm is used to evaluate the optimal shape. The boundary element method is applied to discretize the thermoelasticity, conduction and radiation problems.
