This study deals with thermal guiding mechanism implemented on surface of a structure. The thermal guide is made of ultra-thin metal-insulator composite and it is fabricated by laser ablation and electroplating. The pattern is designed by vectorial topology optimization and self-organizing reaction diffusion equation known as Turing system.
Tsuyoshi Nomura received the B.S. and M.S. from the Department of Mechano-Informatics and Systems, Nagoya University, Japan, in 1995 and 1997, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree from Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Kyoto University, Japan, in 2008. He joined Toyota Central Research and Development Laboratories, Inc. in 1997. He has been engaged in research on numerical analysis of composite materials and topology optimization.
