abstract = {Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are a means to remove
discrete material interfaces which lead to high local stress
concentrations, such as the tungsten–copper (W–Cu)
interface of the current ITER monoblock design. This paper
employs adjoint-based optimization methods to identify the
highest potential reduction of stresses that could be
reached with these materials, while ensuring that the local
temperature does not exceed the material temperature
operational window. The cheap sensitivity evaluation
inherent to the adjoint approach enables the optimization of
the detailed 3D material distribution. Furthermore, a novel
optimization method based on an augmented Lagrangian
formulation is proposed that allows accurate treatment of
the material temperature window constraints. The temperature
and stresses are modelled by the steady heat conduction and
Navier's equation, respectively. We compare the results of
different optimization formulations, with cost functions
based on the von Mises stress and corresponding yield
criterion and considering different values of the stress
free temperature. To assess the performance under off-design
conditions, two optimized designs were chosen and compared
to the ITER and flat tile (FT) design, which consists of a
copper block protected by a tungsten layer on top. The
optimized designs lead to a factor 2–4 decrease in maximal
stress near the original W–Cu interface of the FT design
and a factor 10 decrease in yield criterion measure near the
cooling duct. Under off-design conditions, they realized a
factor 2–10 decrease in yield criterion in the upper part
of the monoblock. This confirms numerically that FGMs can
lead to significant design improvements. Finally, the
inclusion of the material temperature operation window
constraints leads to a decrease of 30–55 $vol\%$ W
compared to the unconstrained cases, thus profoundly
influencing the final design. The stress free temperature
was found to have a comparably weaker influence on the final
design with differences of 5–30 $vol\%$ W.},
