Abstract
This study presents a topology optimization method for direct current concentration and heat flux cloaking. For bi- functionality regarding different physical flow manipulations, two objective functions are constructed to define each physical performance, and utility functions are established using a weighted norm approach for simultaneous performance improvement. An initial and utopia points-based adaptive weighting method is proposed to appropriately reflect preferences between conflicting objective functions. Using different preferences, a Pareto-optimal solution set evenly distributed in the objective space is explored. The optimization process is based on the phase field approach which introduces the reaction–diffusion equation combined with the double well potentials as an update scheme. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified through two numerical examples.
