Multi-scale structures, as found in nature (eg, bone and bamboo), hold the promise of
achieving superior performance while being intrinsically lightweight, robust, and multi …

It is of great importance for the development of new products to find the best possible
topology or layout for given design objectives and constraints at a very early stage of the …

" The art of structure is where to put the holes" Robert Le Ricolais, 1894-1977 This is a
completely revised, updated and expanded version of the book titled" Optimization of …

In topology optimization of structures, materials and mechanisms, parametrization of
geometry is often performed by a grey-scale density-like interpolation function. In this paper …

In the context of shape optimization, we seek minimizers of the sum of the elastic compliance
and of the weight of a solid structure under specified loading. This problem is known not to …

This paper presents a highly efficient method to obtain high-resolution, near-optimal 3D
topologies optimized for minimum compliance on a standard PC. Using an implicit geometry …

Architected metamaterials are dominantly periodic, but on the other hand, natural materials
usually exhibit aperiodicity or even disordered randomness. In this study, we systematically …

Microstructural topology optimization (MTO) is the simultaneous optimization of macroscale
topology and microscale structure. MTO holds the promise of enhancing product …

This paper proposes a clustering-based concurrent topology optimization method for
designing additive manufacturable cellular structures. In the context of multiscale topology …

Lattice structures can present advantageous mechanical properties while remaining
remarkably lightweight. Precise lattice design can however be tricky to set up with classical …
