Abstract: A chip layout problem is formulated as a new class of shape optimal design called a subdomain optimization, where the chips correspond to subdomains whose configuration and location are to be ...

Abstract: A boundary integral equation called Derivative BIE is developed for two-dimensional potential problems in terms of tangential and normal derivatives of the potential on the boundary, by integrating ...

Abstract: A formulation of optimal stochastic design of mechanisms considering tolerances on the link lengths and clearances in the joints is presented. The mechanical error is analyzed for the 3σ band ...

Abstract: An algorithm of topological ordering of vertices is proposed for generating a unique edge list of a given graph, and used for the isomorphism test. This also makes it possible to find the ...

Abstract: In bone-remodeling studies, it is believed that the morphology of bone is affected by its internal mechanical loads. From the 1970s, high computing power enabled quantitative studies in the ...
