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 …

Functionally Graded (FG) structures are a novel design through which the material
properties vary smoothly and this feature leads these structures to have better mechanical or …

This paper proposes a new Multi-Material Level Set (MM-LS) topology description model for
topology and shape optimization of structures involving multiple materials. Each phase is …

Functionally graded lattice core structures show a gradual and localised variation in their
mechanical properties with the aim of improving structural performance whilst minimising …

This study presents new framework in which the representative volume element (RVE)
method and machine learning (ML) model are used to construct continuous anisotropic …

Voxel-based multimaterial jetting additive manufacturing allows fabrication of digital
materials (DMs) at the meso-scale (∼ 1 mm) by controlling the deposition patterns of soft …

The rising cost of natural resources and environmental concerns motivate systematic design
and manufacture of more efficient structures. For that purpose, topology optimization has …

This paper proposes a topology optimization method that is capable of simultaneous design
for structural topology, stiff material (ie fiber) layout, and its orientations in functionally …

This paper is motivated by the optimization of so-called lattice materials which are becoming
increasingly popular in the context of additive manufacturing. Generalizing our previous …
