Abstract
This research investigates the utility of topology optimisation to optimise a component in a deeply cooled focal plane assembly for its mass and thermal-mechanical properties. The novelty this research offers is the perspective on how to incorporate important system characteristics of an FPA in the topology optimisation process. The research concludes that to utilise topology optimisation for the thermal-mechanical optimisation of an FPA, the system characteristics must be identified and used to define the objective function and constraints in the optimisation process. The topology optimisation routine for an FPA must utilise a robust optimisation solver and an objective function which incorporates an internal energy for design connectivity.
