Manufacturing-oriented topology optimization has been extensively studied the past two
decades, in particular for the conventional manufacturing methods, for example, machining …

Compliant mechanisms have become an important branch of modern mechanisms. Unlike
conventional rigid body mechanisms, compliant mechanisms transform the displacement …

The field of optimal design of linear elastic structures has seen many exciting successes that
resulted in new architected materials and structural designs. With the availability of cloud …

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 …

Current surgical devices are mostly rigid and are made of stiff materials, even though their
predominant use is on soft and wet tissues. With the emergence of compliant mechanisms …

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 …

Functionally graded multilayer shallow arch structures have gained significant attention due
to their unique mechanical properties and potential applications. This review aims to provide …

This paper presents a topology optimization method for the sequential design of material
