In simulation-based realization of complex systems, we are forced to address the issue of
computational complexity. One critical issue that must be addressed is the approximation of …

A general topology optimization strategy is presented in this study for three-dimensional
applications. The approach is based on the combination of a well-established density-based …

This study presents an original metamodelling technique based on Non-Uniform Rational
Basis Spline (NURBS) hyper-surfaces. The proposed approach is able to fit general non …

This study presents a new strategy to generate a surrogate model used for design purposes.
The metamodel is based on Non-Uniform Rational Basis Spline (NURBS) hyper-surfaces …

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process is a metal additive manufacturing (AM)

The design and optimisation of lightweight structures is of paramount importance in many
industrial fields: from automotive to biomedical ones, from naval to aerospace fields. During …

This study aims at providing an original metamodeling technique based on the Non-Uniform
Rational B-Splines (NURBS) formalism. The proposed approach is able to fit general non …

This paper proposes a general and systematic approach to generate a surrogate model
based on non-uniform rational basis spline (NURBS) hyper-surfaces as a solution of a …

The size and complexity of scientific data are rapidly outpacing our ability to manage,
analyze, visualize, and draw conclusions from the results. One way to streamline scientific …

Methods for the inverse characterization of mechanical properties of materials have recently
seen significant growth, largely because of the availability of enabling technologies such as …
