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 …

Research on topology optimization mainly deals with the design of monoscale structures,
which are usually made of homogeneous materials. Recent advances of multiscale …

This paper revisits concurrent design of material and structure within FE 2 nonlinear
multiscale analysis framework. For structural stiffness maximization at macroscopic scale …

This work presents a generalized topology optimization approach for the design of
hierarchical lattice structures with the development of an Approximation of Reduced …

This paper builds on our recent work (**a and Breitkopf, 2014) on multiscale structural
topology optimization where at the microscopic scale, local materials are optimized …

The homogenization-based streamline stiffener path optimization (SSPO) method was
previously proposed by the authors for stiffener layout design of non-uniform curved grid …

This study proposes a surrogate-based optimization model of the external patch design for
damaged carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates to improve the impact …

This paper presents a reduced multiscale model for macroscopic structural design
considering microscopic material nonlinear microstructures. This work introduces Reduced …

We conduct an incisive investigation of the existence of a one-to-one correspondence
between a material's elastoplastic properties and its indentation responses, with particular …

In design optimization of complex systems, the surrogate model approach relying on
progressively enriched Design of Experiments (DOE) avoids efficiency problems …
