Strong Shape Derivative for the Wave Equation with Neumann Boundary Condition

Part 6: Shape and Structural OptimizationInternational audienceThe paper provides shape derivative analysis for the wave equation with mixed boundary conditions on a moving domain Ωs in the case of non smooth neumann boundary datum. The key ideas in the paper are (i) bypassing the classical sensitivity analysis of the state by using parameter differentiability of a functional expressed in the form of Min-Max of a convex-concave Lagrangian with saddle point, and (ii) using a new regularity result on the solution of the wave problem (where the Dirichlet condition on the fixed part of the boundary is essential) to analyze the strong derivative
