Boundary Element Modeling for Simulation and Optimization of Three-Temperature Anisotropic Micropolar Magneto-thermoviscoelastic Problems in Porous Smart Structures Using NURBS and Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

The main objective of the present paper is to propose a new boundary element modeling technique for simulation and optimization of three-temperature micropolar magneto-thermoviscoelastic problems in anisotropic porous smart structures, where we implemented the genetic algorithm (GA), as a method of optimization based on the free form deformation (FFD) methodology to improve the performance of our proposed technique. Two numerical examples are presented herein, in order to prove that the proposed technique is able to optimize the shape of the domains with minimum computational effort. A nonuniform rational B-spline curve (NURBS) has been introduced to define the optimum boundary where it decreases the number of control points and offers a new degree of versatility in the design of various different shapes. The profiles of the items considered shall be represented by the FFD methodology. The location vectors of the FFD control points are known to be the genes, and then the chromosomes for the profiles are determined by the gene sequence. The population is made up of several chromosomes individuals, where the fitness functions of individuals are assessed using BEM. The numerical results are depicted graphical forms to show the effects of viscosity and magnetic fields on the three temperatures, displacement components, microrotation components, pore pressure, electric potential, and thermal stress components. The validity, accuracy, and computational efficiency of the proposed BEM technique were demonstrated by comparing our BEM-obtained results with the corresponding results of normal mode analysis method (NMAM), finite difference method (FDM), and finite element method (FEM).
