BIT Numerical Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Our goal is to introduce a Newton method in computing the stationary points of a total energy with respect to the shape. We formulated a precise description of the second order shape derivative. It is given by a symmetrical boundary integral operator, useful for numerical calculations. This method is applied to a particular shape optimisation problem, the electromagnetic casting problem.
