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

Digital twin can be defined as a virtual representation of a physical asset enabled through
data and simulators for real-time prediction, optimization, monitoring, controlling, and …

Topology optimization has become an effective tool for least-weight and performance
design, especially in aeronautics and aerospace engineering. The purpose of this paper is …

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 …

FE 2 multiscale simulations of history-dependent materials are accelerated by means of a
recurrent neural network (RNN) surrogate for the history-dependent micro level response …

This paper presents a Matlab code for the optimal topology design of materials with extreme
properties. For code compactness, an energy-based homogenization approach is adopted …

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