In this review we identify a new category of methods for implementing and solving structural
optimization problems that has emerged over the last 20 years, which we propose to call …

Topology optimization is developing rapidly in all kinds of directions; and increasingly more
extensions are oriented towards manufacturability of the optimized designs. Therefore, this …

We consider a phase field model for the formulation and solution of topology optimization
problems in the minimum compliance case. In this model, the optimal topology is obtained …

In the present work, a new spline based topology optimization using trimmed spline surfaces
and the isogeometric analysis is proposed. In the proposed approach, the trimmed surface …

In most of structural optimization approaches, finite element method (FEM) has been
employed for structural response analysis and sensitivity calculation. However, the …

In the present research, the isogeometric topology optimization of shell structures is
proposed. There have been lots of successful studies on the shape optimization using …

In this paper, we propose an explicit isogeometric topology optimization approach based on
moving morphable voids (MMVs) with closed B-spline boundary curves, named TOP-IGA …

Maximizing the fundamental eigenfrequency is an efficient means for vibrating structures to
avoid resonance and noises. In this study, we develop an isogeometric analysis (IGA)-based …

Structural shape and topology optimization using level set functions is becoming
increasingly popular. However, traditional methods do not naturally allow for new hole …

This paper presented a novel computational morphogenesis method based on space
mapping that employed isosurfaces to generate three-dimensional free-form continuum …
