In this study, texture shape optimization is performed to minimize the friction coefficient based on the adjoint variable method under constant load. The shape update equation based on the gradient descent method is regarded as a differential equation, and in order to improve the accuracy of the solution of the differential equation, a new shape update equation is proposed that adapts the second-order Taylor expansion. Shape optimization is performed for four different textures, and the results are compared with those based on the gradient descent method and the proposed shape update equation. FreeFEM++ is used for the calculation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
