Abstract: A topological optimization technique using the conception of OMD (Optimal Material Distribution) is presented for free vibration problems of a structure. A new objective function corresponding to ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study on a response surface-based optimization approach for soil vapor extraction system (SVES) design. The SVES design involves extraction rate determination for a number of wells at fixed locations. ...

Abstract: The study explores the thermal performance of three-dimensional (3-D), vertically stacked multi-chip modules (the so-called MCM-V) in natural convection through finite element (FE) modeling and ...
