optimisation. This problem is inherently challenging for several reasons:(i) different stress …

The infill design for free-form surfaces is challenging due to the mismatch of both the
geometric feature and physical response between the curved surface on the macroscale …

In this paper, the authors propose a dimension reduction level set method (DR-LSM) for
shape and topology optimization of heat conduction problems on general free-form surfaces …

This paper introduces a systematic design optimization approach for shells with pattern-
guided infills, aiming to address both intuitive design requirements and considerations for …
