Abstract
This paper presents a method for shape optimization of two-dimensional models subjected to simple or multiple load cases. The optimization is performed iteratively using evolutionary rules, based on the stress level. These rules determine regions on the boundary where the material [...]Abstract
Asbestos-cement (Transite) pipe was installed at the Raft River Geothermal Area in the fall of 1975 and has been used extensively since. The pipe is used to transfer water from the well sites to the testing areas, reserve pits, and reinjection wells. The pipeline was designed to transport [...]
