Cornel Marius Murea

This paper is dedicated to the memory of Prof. Haim Brezis

Abstract. Fixed domain approaches are used for some topology optimization problems of clamped Kirchhoff-Love plates: detection of a damaged zone using pointwise observation, respectively compliance minimization and the first eigenvalue maximization. We discuss the derivability with respect to functional variations of the geometry and some descent directions are proposed. Numerical tests are presented.

Keywords: ntopology optimization, compliance minimization, maximization of the first eigenvalue.
