Additive manufacturing (AM) processes have proven to be a perfect match for topology
optimization (TO), as they are able to realize sophisticated geometries in a unique layer-by …

Topology optimization has undergone a tremendous development since its introduction in
the seminal paper by Bendsøe and Kikuchi in 1988. By now, the concept is develo** in …

Advances in additive manufacturing (AM) have drawn considerable interest due to its ability
to produce geometrically complex structure, such as lattice materials. In this work, a novel …

In the present work, we intend to demonstrate how to do topology optimization in an explicit
and geometrical way. To this end, a new computational framework for structural topology …

An uncertainty-oriented cross-scale topology optimization model with global stress reliability
constraint, local displacement constraint, and micro-manufacturing control based on …

In topology optimization of structures, materials and mechanisms, parametrization of
geometry is often performed by a grey-scale density-like interpolation function. In this paper …

This paper develops and evaluates a method for handling stress constraints in topology
optimization. The stress constraints are used together with an objective function that …

We propose an effective algorithm to resolve the stress-constrained topology optimization
problem. Our procedure combines a density filter for length scale control, the solid isotropic …

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 …

We introduce an extension of current technologies for topology optimization of continuum
structures which allows for treating local stress criteria. We first consider relevant stress …
