In this paper, we present a new method for designing piezoelectric transducers with
connected two-phase electrode. The electrode design problem is formulated as an …

It is well-known that when maximizing the stiffness in structural design, several holes often
appear distributed throughout the structure, leading to a distribution of the void phase that is …

This research aimed to study the impact response of topology optimized hammerhead pier
beam (HPB) based on the density approach. The HPB is prepared with the concept of …

The aim of this work is to present a continuos mathematical model that characterizes and
enforces connectivity in a topology optimization problem. That goal is accomplished by …

This paper presents an adaptive no-slip boundary conditions scheme within the context of
topology optimization of incompressible laminar fluid flow problems with mass flow …

Piezo modal sensors/actuators are devices that utilize the piezoelectric effect to
measure/excite a particular mode while remaining insensitive to the non-targeted modes …

This paper continues the previous work (Donoso et al (2023) Struct Multidisc Optim 66: 66–
71) where the authors presented a method based on the Newmann–Laplacian problem to …

Advanced manufacturing processes such as additive manufacturing offer now the capability
to control material placement at unprecedented length scales and thereby dramatically open …

Topology optimization for additive manufacturing has been limited to the component-level
designs with the component size smaller than the printer's build volume. To enable the …

This paper presents a gradient-based multi-component topology optimization (MTO) method
for structures assembled from components made by powder bed additive manufacturing. It is …
