Topology Optimisation is a broad concept deemed to encapsulate different processes for
computationally determining structural materials optimal layouts. Among such techniques …

The creative design of mechanisms has been widely believed as one of the most important
branches in the theory of mechanisms. Beside, the structural synthesis of kinematic chains …

This paper presents a novel analytical approach for synthesizing a path-generation
mechanism without any limitation on the number of precision points. Compared with …

This paper proposes a parametric synthesis of two different trunk lid mechanisms for sedan
vehicles, incorporating three different population-based optimization techniques: Particle …

Topology optimisation (TO) is increasingly used to assist metallic parts manufacturing in
automotive, aerospace, and biomedical sectors. A similar trend is observed in civil …

Exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine (ICE) contain approximately 30% of the
total energy released from combustion of the fuel. In order to improve fuel economy and …

Although significant advances have been made in mechanism synthesis to find a
mechanism generating a desired motion at its end-effector, no available synthesis methods …

As suspensions critically affect the ride and handling performance of vehicles, considerable
efforts have been made to improve their design by an optimization method. In this paper, we …

The synthesis of planar linkage mechanisms by a topology optimization method has recently
received much attention because both their numbers and dimensions can be simultaneously …

Using the topology optimization can be an effective means of synthesizing planar rigid-body
linkage mechanisms to generate desired motion, as it does not require a baseline …
