Abstract

Deals with the method of shape optimisation that belongs to the class of methods called continuous gradient methods. The approach in question is based on the concept of the material derivative. The main definitions and the features of the method are presented. In order to validate the method, an example is solved: a two‐variable problem (cylindrical capacitor with the distribution of potential fixed).
