Multi-scale structures, as found in nature (eg, bone and bamboo), hold the promise of
achieving superior performance while being intrinsically lightweight, robust, and multi …

Topology optimization was developed as an advanced structural design methodology to
generate innovative lightweight and high-performance configurations that are difficult to …

Manufacturing-oriented topology optimization has been extensively studied the past two
decades, in particular for the conventional manufacturing methods, for example, machining …

The evolutionary structural optimization (ESO) method developed by **e and Steven
(Comput Struct 49 (5): 885–896, 162), an important branch of topology optimization, has …

Abstract Mechanical Metamaterials (MMs) are artificially designed structures with
extraordinary properties that are dependent on micro architectures and spatial tessellations …

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 …

This paper presents isogeometric topology optimization (ITO) for periodic lattice materials,
where non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) basis functions of CAD models are directly …
