This paper introduces a new approach to multiscale optimization, where design optimization
is applied at two scales: the macroscale, where the structure is optimized, and the …

In this paper, we propose a novel Metaheuristic Structure Binary-Distribution (MSB) method
for attaining lightweight and high thermal conductive structure. MSB combines metaheuristic …
