The paper deals with a formulation for the topology optimization of elastic structures that
aims at minimizing the structural weight subject to compliance and local stress constraints …

This paper proposes two effective constraint schemes to address the stress-constrained
topology optimization of continuum structures. By considering the maximum stress measure …

This paper proposes a new topology optimization method based on a material-field topology
description and a reduced series expansion. Not only does the proposed method greatly …

We present a level set solution to the stress-based structural shape and topology
optimization. First, a novel global measure of stress is proposed, and the optimization …

Topology optimization is now a very effective and important tool for designing the layouts of
various structural and multidisciplinary problems, but most existing methods require …

By introducing a new reduction parameter into the Kreisselmeier–Steihauser (K–S) function,
this paper presents a general K–S formulation providing an approximation to the feasible …

Considering stress-related objective or constraint functions in structural topology
optimization problems is very important from both theoretical and application perspectives. It …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is emerging as a promising technology to fabricate cost-
effective, customized functional parts. Designing such functional, ie, load bearing, parts can …
