CU@WCSMO-8 in Lissbon

Hi topology optimizers outside,

thanks to FEEDJIT I know that indeed some guys are reading my blog. In case you are topology optimizers and
also participate at the WCSMO ("World congress" sounds nice :)), you can meet me at my session 19.1, wednesday (I'm the last 9:30-9:50). 19 is about "Multiphysics Topology Optimization".

I talk about a comparisson of topopolgy optimization within the acoustic domain and the pure structural approximation. Clearly via piezoelectric excitation and as common for me, I have no penalization, no volume constraint and achieve quite good 0-1 results w/o any regularization. I also speak about the vibrational patterns: the mechanical eigenmodes, the piezoelectric excitation of these and the link to acoustic short circuits.

It would be actually nice to finally learn to know a reader of my blog. :)
