Topology optimization of fluidic pressure-loaded structures and compliant mechanisms using the Darcy method

Kumar, P. (author), Frouws, Jan (author), Langelaar, Matthijs (author)

In various applications, design problems involving structures and compliant mechanisms experience fluidic pressure loads. During topology optimization of such design problems, these loads adapt their direction and location with the evolution of the design, which poses various challenges. A new density-based topology optimization approach...

Polder system Can Tho City: Impact of the urban polder on Can Tho City

Frouws, Eveline (author), Frölke, Reinier (author), Maarse, Nadieh (author), van den Heuvel, Oscar (author), Meijer, Berend (author)

Vietnam is one of the five countries that is severely affected by the consequences of climate change. The extreme weather conditions and the increase of the sea level results in floods in the Mekong Delta, located in the South of Vietnam. Can Tho city, found in the heart of the Mekong Delta, is one of the cities that copes with water related...

The Darcy method for Topology Optimisation of pressure actuated compliant mechanisms

Frouws, Jan (author)

This work introduces a new method to deal with design dependent pressure loads in Topology Optimisation (TO) using the SIMP material model. A pronounced focus is on optimising pressure actuated compliant mechanisms. The difficulty herein is the interpretation of the pressure boundary in a TO design. In TO the boundaries are blurry, because of...

Is reducing speed the right mitigating action to limit harmful emissions of seagoing RoRo cargo carriers?

Frouws, J.W. (author)

The Energy Emission Design Index (EEDI) is an index indicating the CO2 emission per transportation effort, for example the emitted tons CO2 per ton mile, to be calculated for each new design. The required index for new designs will be gradually lowered in the coming years resulting in either improved energy efficiencies or speed reductions.<br/>...
