This paper presents a method to generate self-supporting lattice structures in a topology
optimization (TO) framework. Our method is composed of two phases, which are the TO …

This paper addresses a combined method of reinforcement learning and graph embedding
for binary topology optimization of trusses to minimize total structural volume under stress …

This paper proposes the concept of machine-specified ground structures for topology
optimization of trusses. Unlike general ground structures with dense and regular …

Structural optimization methods can be extremely powerful when used at the initial,
conceptual, design stage of a building or bridge structure, potentially identifying materially …

Uncertainty is inevitable in the real physical world, and it is necessary to take into account its
effects on the structural design and optimization processes. In this study a reliability-based …

The Force Density Method is the oldest computational method for form-finding of funicular
structures. The method is based on solving a linear system of equilibrium equations …

Based on the growth mechanism of natural biological branching systems and inspiration
from the morphology of plant root tips, a bionic design method called Improved Adaptive …

This paper presents a worst case approach for robust geometry and topology optimization of
plane frames with global stability constraint. Uncertainty is assumed to exist in the nodal …

Topology optimization of trusses is one of the most inviting topics in the structural
optimization field. In search for the computational efficiency, researchers have implemented …
