Topology optimization (TO) methods for fracture resistance offer new possibilities for
designing stronger structures or materials with lower masses than conventional designs …

This study presents a general computational framework for topology optimization under
constraints related to various engineering design problems, including: reliability analysis …

This work considers the topology optimization of hyperelastic structures for maximum
stiffness (minimum compliance) subject to constraints on their volume and maximum stress …

This paper describes a topology optimization approach that applies the common fatigue
analysis practices of rainflow cycle counting and critical plane searches to cover both …

In engineering applications, plenty of components are subjected to variable-amplitude cyclic
loading, resulting in fatigue damage, which is one of the main forms of structural damage …

An incremental high-cycle fatigue damage model is combined with topology optimization to
design structures subject to non-proportional loads. The optimization aims to minimize the …

This paper focuses on the study of structural high-cycle fatigue problems commonly
encountered in engineering and presents a fatigue-constrained isogeometric topology …

Thin-film piezoelectric materials are advantageous in microelectromechanical systems
(MEMS), due to large motion generation, high available energy and low power …

The presence of defects in adhesive materials influences the mechanical behaviour of
bonded composite structures. Indeed, the initial defects in the adhesive joint damage the …

This Doctoral thesis builds upon the research conducted in my Licentiate thesis [45], and
was carried out at the division of Solid Mechanics in Linkö** University. The work was …
