Research theme area:
Optimization of end-plates of fuel cells through topology optimization methods, with an emphasis on integrating stress, displacement, and temperature constraints to improve efficiency and durability.

Abstract:
The candidate will collaborate with researchers from the Research and Development (R&D) project SOFC – The Future of Ethanol in the Transportation Sector, at Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo. Summary of the program and projects can be found at the RCGI website (https://sites.usp.br/rcgi/).
One of the research lines of this project is dedicated to the development and optimization of end plates, critical structural components that ensure the integrity and efficiency of fuel cells. The main objective of this work is to develop a computational model for the topology optimization of these end plates. The optimization problem focuses on minimizing the volume, subject to multiphysics constraints that ensure structural integrity, uniform pressure distribution, and thermal management.
