The purpose of this article is to benchmark different optimization solvers when applied to
various finite element based structural topology optimization problems. An extensive and …

A new integrated layout optimization method is proposed here for the design of multi‐
component systems. By introducing movable components into the design domain, the …

While porous composites are drawing growing attention for their excellent lightweight and
multifunctional characteristics, inherent stress concentration in these porous composites …

Thermal expansion is inevitable for space structures under the alternating temperature of
outer space around the earth. This may lead to the thermal stress and deformation due to the …

Nowadays, there is a great interest on the part of the automotive and aerospace industry to
design environmentally-friendly structures. To that purpose, stiffness-oriented designs are …

Zero thermal expansion (ZTE) is strongly demanded for critical components of spacecraft
structures exposed to extreme temperature variations in space. In this paper, a lattice …

The isogeometric paradigm is aimed at unifying the geometric and analysis descriptions of
engineering problems. This unification is brought about by employing the same basis …

Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) thin‐walled panels belong to a kind of lightweight
structures that are widely used in aeronautic and aerospace engineering. This paper deals …

To prevent numerical instabilities associated with the mesh-dependence, checkerboards
and grey regions in topology optimization, a variant perimeter-constrained version of the …

Monolithic compliant mechanisms are elastic workpieces which transmit force and
displacement from an input position to an output position. Continuum topology optimization …
