Auxetic materials with the counter-intuitive effect of negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) have
potentials for diverse applications. Typical shape optimization designs of auxetic structures …

This work aims at proposing a numerical approach to predict the mechanical response of
lattice structures fabricated by means of a suitable additive layer manufacturing (ALM) …

AA7075 is of special interest amongst aluminum alloys for structural applications in
automotive and aerospace industries because of its higher strength. Due to advances in …

A numerical approach is proposed to assess the high cycle fatigue (HCF) strength of
periodic cellular structures produced by Selective Laser Melting under multiaxial loads. The …

Abstract The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to tune the Multiple-
Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Positive Position Feedback (PPF) controller to reduce …

This study deals with the problem of the least-weight design of a lattice structure subject to
constraints of different nature. To face this problem, a general multi-scale optimisation …

This study presents an original metamodelling technique based on Non-Uniform Rational
Basis Spline (NURBS) hyper-surfaces. The proposed approach is able to fit general non …

This study presents a new strategy to generate a surrogate model used for design purposes.
The metamodel is based on Non-Uniform Rational Basis Spline (NURBS) hyper-surfaces …

Abstract The PrandtlPlane (PrP) aircraft wing-box least-weight design is presented in this
work. This design problem is formulated as a constrained non-linear programming problem …

Identifying unknown Young's moduli and boundary conditions of the heterogeneous material
using locally observed boundary data is the inverse problem which is generally solved by …
