We introduce a general multi-material topology optimization framework for large deformation
problems that effectively handles an arbitrary number of candidate hyperelastic materials …

The application of structural topology optimization with complex engineering materials is
largely hindered due to the complexity in phenomenological or physical constitutive …

A computational method for optimizing the shape of the centerline curve and the spatial
variation of geometric and material sizing parameters of the cross-sections of elastic, 3 …

Recent decades have witnessed a renewed interest in the field of structural stability due to
new applications involving smart and deployable structures, micro-and nanocomponents …

Topology optimization of truss lattices, using the ground structure method, is a practical
engineering tool that allows for improved structural designs. However, in general, the final …

Abstract The St. Venant–Kirchhoff law is a widely used constitutive relation in engineering
applications. However, its limitation to small strains is frequently mentioned in the literature …
