It is of great importance for the development of new products to find the best possible
topology or layout for given design objectives and constraints at a very early stage of the …

" The art of structure is where to put the holes" Robert Le Ricolais, 1894-1977 This is a
completely revised, updated and expanded version of the book titled" Optimization of …

This article provides a comprehensive review of structural optimization employing topology
methods for structures under vibration problems. Topology optimization allows creative and …

In the context of shape optimization, we seek minimizers of the sum of the elastic compliance
and of the weight of a solid structure under specified loading. This problem is known not to …

A linear elastic response is assumed in most structural topology optimization problems.
While this assumption is valid for a wide variety of problems, it is not valid for structures …

This work grew out of rapid developments of topology optimization approaches and
emerging industry trends of “3D printing” techniques, the latter bridging to a large extent the …

This paper proposes a new topology optimization method, which can adjust the geometrical
complexity of optimal configurations, using the level set method and incorporating a fictitious …

Satellite observations and computing technology have advanced our understanding of the
monsoon climate enormously in the last two decades. The author provides an update of the …

Topology optimization is used to optimize the eigenvalues of plates. The results are
intended especially for M icro E lectro M echanical S ystems (MEMS) but can be seen as …

Graded lattice sandwich structures (GLSSs) enable superior structural performances due to
the continuously-varying configurations and properties of lattices in space. This paper …
