Most studies for implementation of access networks are generally focused on countries where their areas have high population density, this optimization seeks to provide solutions in countries and cities with a similar ...

A piezoresistive sensor is composed of a piezoresistive membrane attached to a flexible plate. The piezoresistive material is anisotropic, and its electrical properties change when subjected to mechanical stresses. In this ...

In this work the topological derivative concept is applied in the context of topology design of thermo-mechanical devices, where the linear elasticity system (modeled by the Navier equation) is coupled with the steady-state ...

Topological optimization provides a powerful framework to obtain the optimal domain topology for several engineering problems. The topological derivative is a function which characterizes the sensitivity of a given problem ...

The topological sensitivity analysis for the heterogeneous and anisotropic elasticity problem in two-dimensions is performed in this work. The main result of the paper is an analytical closed-form of the topological ...

Topology optimization is a technique in the engineering area that allows obtaining optimal designs of devices, mechanisms, complex structures and even design the microstructure of an auxetic material. Classically, the focus ...

Supplemental damping devices present an attractive means to improve the structural system. Typically, dampers are designed after the structural system is selected, and they are added to increase structural damping and ...
