Abstract
A material and load optimization problem in thermoelasticity has been investigated for an infinite solid slab. The objective function of optimization involves linearly combined physical objectives, and there are behavioral constraints on heat flux and stress distributions. Sensitivity analysis results of a companion paper are used to derive analytical expressions for the primary and adjoint variables and also for the sensitivity coefficient of ‘functional’. Nonlinear programming methods of constrained minimization are then used to calculate optimal design parameters.Keywords
