Acoustic Shape Optimization Based on Isogeometric Wideband Fast Multipole Boundary Element Method with Adjoint Variable Method
Abstract
A shape optimization approach based on isogeometric wideband fast multipole boundary element method (IGA WFMBEM) in 2D acoustics is developed in this study. The key treatment is shape sensitivity analysis by using the adjoint variable method under isogeometric analysis (IGA) conditions. A set of efficient parameters of the wideband fast multipole method has been identified for IGA boundary element method. Shape optimization is performed by applying the method of moving asymptotes. IGA WFMBEM is validated through an acoustic scattering example. The proposed optimization approach is tested on a sound barrier and two multiple structures to demonstrate its potential for engineering problems.
