• Abstract: We introduce a simultaneous and meshfree topology optimization (TO) framework based on physics-informed Gaussian processes (GPs). Our framework endows all design and state variables via GP priors which have a shared, multi-output mean function that is parametrized via a customized deep neural network (DNN). The parameters of this mean function are estimated by minimizing a multi-component loss function that depends on the performance metric, design constraints, and the residuals on the state equations. Our TO approach yields well-defined material interfaces and has a built-in continuation nature that promotes global optimality. Other unique features of our approach include (1) its customized DNN which, unlike fully connected feed-forward DNNs, has a localized learning capacity that enables capturing intricate topologies and reducing residuals in high gradient fields, (2) its loss function that leverages localized weights to promote solution accuracy around interfaces, and (3) its use of curriculum training to avoid local optimality.To demonstrate the power of our framework, we validate it against commercial TO package COMSOL on three problems involving dissipated power minimization in Stokes flow.

• Simultaneous and Meshfree Topology Optimization with Physics-informed Gaussian Processes [0.0]
  Topology optimization (TO) provides a principled mathematical approach for optimizing the performance of a structure by designing its material spatial distribution in a pre-defined domain and subject to a set of constraints. We develop a new class of TO methods based on the framework of Gaussian processes (GPs) whose mean functions are parameterized via deep neural networks. To test our method against conventional TO approaches implemented in commercial software, we evaluate it on four problems involving the minimization of dissipated power in Stokes flow.
